• Notes:

In 1535, the itinerary for King Henry VIII's summer Progress around the West Country was published. When Nicholas Poyntz saw his name on the list for a royal visit, he spared no effort or expense at the chance to impress his king. For nine months, 350 labourers worked to build a magnificent new East Wing on to the existing moated manor house. The apartments were fashionably and lavishly decorated. King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn were obviously impressed, for Nicholas Poyntz was knighted during their stay. Sheriff of Gloucestershire in 1538 and 1544. Ozleworth House (now called Newark House) was given by Henry VIII to Nicholas, who rebuilt after the Reformation with loot plundered from the Cistercian Abbey of Kingswood.
