About Agnes or Anne Moore

  • Sir Lewis Pollard (c. 1465–1526) of King's Nympton, Devon .... etc.
  • He was a member of an ancient Devonshire gentry family, a younger son of Robert Pollard, second son of John Pollard of Way in the parish of St Giles in the Wood, Great Torrington, Devon, by his wife, a member of the Lewknor family of Sussex. Robert's father John Pollard (whose wife was Alyanora Copleston (d. 21 September 1430), whose monumental brass exists in the parish church of St Giles in the Wood, daughter of John Copleston of Copleston, Devon) settled on him his lands in Roborough, about 5 miles SE of Great Torrington. Risdon states that Sir Lewis Pollard resided at Grilston, in the parish of Bishop's Nympton,[6] before he purchased the nearby manor of King's Nympton to the south. The following were the principal historic seats of the wider Pollard family: .... etc.
  • He married Agnes Hext, daughter of Thomas Hext, a prominent lawyer[16] of Kingston (in the parish of Staverton, near Totnes), by his wife Florence Bonville. Westcote stated her to be the heiress of Dunisford (or Donesford).[17] By her he had eleven sons and eleven daughters, including:
  • The Heralds' Visitations of Devon[18] lists the following sons of Sir Lewis Pollard:
    • Sir Hugh Pollard, eldest son and heir, great-grandfather of Sir Lewis Pollard, 1st Baronet of King's Nympton. He was Recorder of Barnstaple in 1545[19] Through the influence of his brother Richard he obtained the wardship of Richard Bury (1516–1543), son and heir of John Bury (d.1533) of Colleton, Chulmleigh, whom he married to his daughter Elizabeth Pollard. Richard Pollard obtained as his own wife John Bury's daughter Elizabeth, as promised him in her father's will.[20]
    • Sir Richard Pollard (1505–1542), 2nd son, MP for Taunton (1536) and Devon (1539, 1542), of Putney, Surrey. King's Remembrancer of the Exchequer and a law reporter[21] He was an assistant of Thomas Cromwell in administering the surrender of religious houses following the Dissolution of the monasteries, and was employed particularly as a surveyor who visited the premises and made a detailed valuation of the house's assets and income.[22] In 1537 he was granted by King Henry VIII the manor of Combe Martin in Devon[23] and in 1540 Forde Abbey.
    • John Pollard, 3rd son,[24] Archdeacon of Wiltshire, Archdeacon of Cornwall, Archdeacon of Barnstaple (1544–1554),[25] Archdeacon of Totnes and Canon of Exeter Cathedral. His full biography is included in Hooker's Synopsis.
    • Robert Pollard (d.1576), 4th son, purchased from the crown the manor of Knowstone,[26] where he was buried on 26 September 1576. He married Anne (or Agnes) Chichester (d.1541), daughter of Richard Chichester of Hall, Bishop's Tawton by his wife Thomasine de Hall (d.1502), heiress of Hall.[27]
    • Anthony Pollard, 5th son.
    • Sir George Pollard, 6th son, knighted at Boulogne for his role in the defence of that English outpost.[28]
  • The Heralds' Visitations of Devon[29] names five daughters of Sir Lewis Pollard:
    • Anne Pollard, wife of Humphrey Moore (d.1537) of Moorehays in the parish of Burlescombe, in the church of which exists his monument.[30]
    • Jane Pollard,[31] wife of Sir Hugh Stukley (d.1559) of Affeton Castle and mother of the mercenary Thomas Stukley. A heraldic stained-glass roundel survives in the south window of the Pollard Chapel in the south aisle of King's Nympton Church showing the arms of Stucley impaling Pollard, with quarterings of each family. The arms are as follows: baron, quarterly 1st azure, three pears pendant or (Stucley); 2nd Argent a chevron engrailed between three fleurs-de-lis sable (de Affeton[32]); 3rd Argent a chevron gules between three roses of the second seeded or (Wood?); 4th Gules, three lions rampant or; femme quarterly 1st & 4th Argent, a chevron sable between three mullets gules pierced or (Pollard of Horwood); 2nd & 3rd Argent, a chevron sable between three escallops gules (Pollard of King's Nympton)
    • Philippa Pollard, wife of Sir Hugh Paulet of Sampford Peverell[33]
    • Thomasine Pollard, wife of Admiral Sir George Carew (d.1545)
    • Elizabeth, wife firstly (as his second wife) of John Crocker of Lineham, by whom she had issue,[34] and secondly of Sir Hugh Trevanion
    • Unnamed daughter, wife of "Hugh" Courtenay of Powderham, whose identity is uncertain.[35]
  • He died on d. 21 October 1526 aged about 61[36] and was buried in the church at King's Nympton, as Risdon stated "In Nymet Church Judge Pollard lieth honourably interred, having a monument erected to his memory" (see below), as well as a stained-glass memorial window nearby, now lost (see below). His reference to "Nymet" is clearly intended as Bishop's Nympton, as the passage occurs within his section on that parish, which is followed by a separate section on King's Nympton.
