• John de Andelys held ½ fee in Stogumber of the earl of Lincoln in 1303. In 1316 an estate called Doniford and Stogumber was attributed to four men who may have been trustees. In 1346 John Durburgh held the ½ fee in Stogumber which John de Andelys had held, (fn. 115) and at his death in 1352 had an estate in Stogumber and Preston. His son Sir Hugh (fn. 116) held the estate and was succeeded between 1372 and 1378 (fn. 117) by his son James. (fn. 118) In 1393 the manor was held by John Dunster (d. by 1396). John Rivers, Dunster's heir, (fn. 119) sold it in 1396, subject to a life interest of Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Dodington, to Simon and Henry Sydenham, sons of Richard Sydenham of Combe Sydenham. (fn. 120) Simon, later bishop of Chichester, and his brother Henry, may have been in possession by 1417. (fn. 121) Henry died before 1427 and Simon in 1438. Simon's heir was his nephew John (d. 1468). (fn. 122) The manor then descended like Combe Sydenham until 1557 when it passed to John (d. before 1617), brother of Sir George Sydenham of Combe Sydenham. John was succeeded by his son, also John (d. 1625), (fn. 123) whose sons John and Ralph conveyed the manor to John Boys and his son John in 1626. (fn. 124) .... etc.
• Richard of Combe was probably occupier of the land c. 1240 (fn. 140) and William of Combe was mentioned in 1325. (fn. 141) In 1367 Nicholas Orchard may have held an estate called Combe Allen, which was sold in the same year to Richard Sydenham, justice of Common Pleas. (fn. 142) Richard Sydenham died in 1403 and was succeeded by his son Henry (d. before 1427) and Henry by his son John (d. 1468). (fn. 143) The estate was held by John's widow Joan (d. 1472). (fn. 144) Their grandson John Sydenham (d. 1542) settled it on his son Henry (d. c. 1519) and Henry's wife Eleanor (d.1539). .... etc.
• .... In 1475 John Sydenham of Orchard held the fee at Hartrow and by 1499 his son John was in possession. (fn. 171) The younger John died in 1521 and the manor passed to his grandson, also John Sydenham. (fn. 172)
• John Sydenham died in 1526 and in the following year an estate known as Hartrow and Doniford manor was divided between his two sisters and their husbands, John (later Sir John) Wyndham and Thomas Bridges. Almost immediately Wyndham and Sir John Sydenham of Combe jointly bought Bridges's share. (fn. 173) Sydenham died in 1557 leaving his quarter share to his son, also John. (fn. 174) Wyndham sold his three quarters in 1559 to Joan Sweeting, widow, who shortly afterwards married William Lacey. (fn. 175) Lacey bought the remaining share from John Sydenham in 1563. (fn. 176) .... etc.
• In 1460 an estate at CHEDDERMARSH was settled on John and Joan Sydenham by William Gore. (fn. 250) After Joan's death in 1498 it passed to her son John Sydenham (d. 1521). (fn. 251) John's son John died a minor in 1526 leaving two sisters one of whom married John (later Sir John) Wyndham. Wyndham purchased the other sister's share in 1529, and the holding descended like Orchard Wyndham. (fn. 252) By 1610 Sir John's grandson, Sir John Wyndham, had added to this estate lands at Escott, Cottiford, and Combe Cross, formerly all in Thorncombe manor, Bicknoller, (fn. 253) creating an estate sometimes known as Stogumber manor. (fn. 254) In 1804 Cheddermarsh and Escott were given to Sir John Trevelyan as part of an exchange, but Combe Cross was retained to form part of the Wyndhams' estate of Stogumber and Over Vexford in 1851. (fn. 255)

• A place of noe greet note in respect of itselfe, save for a Satturday markett, which ye late owner of it Sir John Sydenham in our own tyme purchased for it, who hath a goodly house and Parke at Combe Sydenham within this Parish built by his Uncle Sir George Sydenham 2 sonne of Sir John Sydenham his father whose only Daughter and Heire dying issules yett twice marryed first to ye famous Sir Frauncis Drake, and after to Sir William Courtney ; Combe reverted unto him, and now is his grandchildes. Its somewhat lowe, the very name intimates the soile, and I thinke in this hilly Countrey there are more Combes then in all ye County. This place antiently was called Combe Allein from ye owners(1) of it, one of which passed it unto Richard de Sydenham a Judge in Richard ye secondes dayes, but before this Combe had owners of the same name who held it of the Castell of Dunster, by what service this ensuinge Cart(2) by which it was abrogated shall showe. .... etc.

• This place is really on a tributary of the Yeo, and should have been entered between Stoford and Barwick. Its history will be found in 'Historical Notes on South Somerset.' Thomas Bingham, by his wife Mary Romsey, had not one but two daughters to survive, the other being Eleanor, wife of Henry Horsey. Sir William Kayleway of Rockborne sold Sutton in 1561 to George Sydenham ; and after the death of his only daughter Elizabeth, widow of Sir Francis Drake, it came to the Sydenhams of Brympton.

• Leland was struck with the growth of elms in this district. John Bevyn married Eleanor, who, by an inquisition taken in 1511, was found to be a coheir of Thomas Montagu of Sutton Montis. He died in 1554, leaving for his heirs, Ursula, wife of John Sydenham of Lye in Old Cleeve ; Mary, wife of Ellis Keymer, then deceased ; and Dorothy, unmarried. The manor must have been sold soon after to John Hodges, who was buried at Lufton, April 24, 1608.

  • BRIMPTON.
• Where you may see a faire house daintily sceated and furnished with all manner of conveniences as gardens, orchards, groves, &c., and that which is before all theis good grounds, and those of a very large extent, it is now the cheife seate of Sydenhams, a family as ancient and eminent and [for as] any in this tract. To proove the first they are yet owners of Sydenham which lyes neere North Petherton(1) in this Countie and gave them that name ; for the second soe manie knights of this familie is a sufficient testimony. Brimpton fell to the Sidenhams in Henry the sixt his time by the daughter and coheire of John Sturton of Preston of whom I shall have occasion to speak ere long, and therefore will passe it over here. John son of John Sidenham by Sturton's heire was he that built the most of Brimpton house, and to it some of his successors have added.

• The same John built a fine little chappell adjoyning to the church for their sepulture much beautified of late by a faire tomb raised to the memory of Sir John Sidenham by his son John sithence dead also. In this chappell as in the house you may see a greate number of Coates of Armes in glasse containing from a long series of ancestors their pedigree, till of latter times, amongst which I observe that they have married with the heires and coheires of Kitsford, Dalingrig, Whitton, Hussey, Sturton, Godolfin and Buckland, which have increased both their livelyhood and allyance. This much of the modern Lords of Brimpton.
• Now if you please wee will look a great way back what owners it had then, and that of the evidence of John Sidenham Esquire now owner of it, where I find it written Brimpton D'Evercy for a difference it should seeme from some other place of that name, which I confesse I have not found eyther in this or the next [County]. It is true there are two places in the North-West of Somersett called from Broome Brompton, but this surely takes its denomination from the Saxons' Bryn, intimating the side of a hill, and on such a declining it is seated ; the latter it took from the Lords, as being the possessions of a family soe surnamed, of which I have seene the deeds of Sir Thomas D'Evercy knights, grandfather father and sonne, sealed with faire scales of Armes vizt. 3 Crescents, the last of theis the five and thirtieth of Edward the first founded in the parish church of Brimpton a Chauntry, and died the eighteenth of Edward the second. In this Chauntry he lyes buried haveing on his grave-stone (which lyes flatt on the ground) his effigies carved, Armed in male and crosslegged and on his sheild his Armes depicted which are, Or 3 crescents asure, on each one besant ; at his foot lyes his wife intombed after the same manner. .... etc.

• .... But I will returne to Brimpton which place John eldest sonne of Peter de Winford before spoken of by the eldest sister of Glamorgan had the fortune to purchase entirely from the other coheires, and soe left it unto John Winford his sonne, who having noe child, passed it unto John Sturton after the death of himselfe and Alice Lambrooke his wife ; from whom as you have heard it descended to the Sydenhams now owners of it.

  • PRESTON.
• Which though it be a member of Evell as parish hereto yet hath it other members belonging unto it. The principall manor hath the addition of Preston Plucknett as once being the lands of Alanus Plucknett of whom I have spoken before at Haselbere, yet gave it the sirname of Preston of noe greate note long since worn out, but the greatest creditt of it was that it gave habitation unto John Sturton who being owner of it built that ancient and in those times faire house which still remaines. He was younger son of John Sturton of Sturton in Wiltshire and half-brother to William first Lord Sturton soe created by King Henry the sixth, but whole brother unto Elisa Bewchamp who was great grandmother to Henry the seventh King of this land. This John Sturton married three wives, every one of them an inheritrix and by every one of them left one daughter heire to their mothers and coheire to his estate. The eldest as erstwhile I tooke you, married to John Sidenham(1) of Brimpton in her right, the second to John Hill(2) of Spaxton by one of whose heires generall married to John Cheyney a faire estate descended to the ancient and noble family of Walgreaves now of Norfolk
