• By Jane, the daughter and heiress of William Baron, Sir Walter left four sons — Richard, William, Walter, and Henry — and five daughters — Jane, Thomasine, Anne, Margaret, and Parnell or Petronell. Richard succeeded Sir Walter as his heir. William succeeded to the greater part of his mother's property in Berkshire, and was placed in the Household of Henry VII on the accession of that monarch, as one of the Esquires of the King's Body. His will was proved 4th February 1512. Henry was a Fellow of New College, Oxford, and appears to have died young in 1486. Walter is only known by his will, which is preserved in the Prerogative Court. He died in 1502.

• Besides these daughters the old parchment pedigree at Wrottesley mentioned a daughter Alice, married to Lord Scrope of Upsall. There is no other authority for this marriage, but it derives some confirmation from a clause in Walter Wrottesley's will, in which he left a legacy to "my lord Zowche" (de la Zouche), the latter being a near relation of the Scropes of Upsall.
