About Katharine Langford

William Norreys married thirdly, about 1478, Anne Horne, widow of Sir William Harcourt and Sir John Stanley (d. 29 June 1476), and daughter of Robert Horne, Alderman of London, by Joan, daughter of Edward Fabian.[3]

They had two sons and four daughters:

Katherine Norreys[3] (born c. 1481), (??) who married Sir John Langford[3] of Aldworth in Berkshire.


From “A History of Bradfield College.” edited by Arthur Francis Leach. Page 24. GoogleBooks

The Langfords managed to hold Bradfield and the de la Bechc manors, with their own ancestral manors of Botenhampstead (Bottomstead) and Benfield, apparently undisturbed all through the reigns of the Lancastrians, Yorkists, and Henry VII—no slight feat in those troublous times. They passed from William Langford,' chivaler,' in 1412, in virtue of a deed of entail, to his cousin Edward Langford, Esquire; from him, in 1474, to his son Thomas, by another entail, and under the same entail to his son John in 1493. This John died a knight in 1510, leaving, by his first wife Katharine, a daughter Ann his sole heiress.
