- Richard Cole, who bought Nailsea Court in 1582, seems to have been a citizen of much wealth and consequence in Bristol. .... Richard Cole married Alice Carr.
- .... etc.
- Alice Carr, the wife of Richard Cole, was the sister of John Carr, the wealthy soap-boiler of Bristol, the munificent founder of Queen Elizabeth's Hospital at Bristol. He endowed it with the manor of Congersbury and Wick St. Lawrence, who died 1586, and was buried in St. Werburgh's Church. Richard Cole died 1599. His will is in Doctors' Commons, London. His wife was Alice, 1604. Both bequeathed large sums in charity to the poor in Bristol. She mentions in her will her son Richard; but probably

- he died young, and the estate of Nailsea Court was inherited by William, the nephew of Richard Cole, who resided at the Court. He was Sheriff of Bristol, 1604; married Ann, daughter and coheiress of John Ashe and Margaret Carr (see further on); and died 1626. Buried in Nailsea Church.
- Richard Cole, his eldest son, succeeded to the estate, and lived at Nailsea Court. Born 1588, he was a county magistrate and High Sheriff of Somerset, 1646. He died 7th, 1650, aged sixty-two.

She died 1643. "Also Alexander, son and heir of Alexander and Dorothy Popham, buried 1642." ....
- Apparently, as Richard Cole left no children, the Nailsea Court estate devolved on his brother, William Cole,2 born 1600, died 1657. I cannot find any mention of his wife, so perhaps he never married. .... etc.
