    • 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. .... etc.
