• Preston Plucknett
• The still preserved manor house of Preston Plucknett was owned in the early 15th century by John Stourton (d. 1438; cousin of his namesake John Stourton, 1st Baron Stourton), a justice of the peace, sheriff, and several times Member of Parliament for Somerset, who, helped by three good marriages, accumulated a respectable wealth. The manor was left to his third and surviving spouse, Katherine Payne, and eventually inherited by his three daughters, one of which, Alice, was married to Sir William Daubeney and was the mother of Giles Daubeney, 1st Baron Daubeney. ....

• Sir John Stourton, by Catherine, daughter of Henry, Lord Beaumont, had issue an only son and heir : —
  • i. — Sir William Stourton, Lord of the Manor and Advowson of Stourton, held of the Castle of Cary, Co. Somerset, father of Sir John Stourton, created Baron of Stourton, Co. Wilts., and of whom afterwards.
• Sir John Stourton, by his second wife, Jane or Joan, daughter of Ralph, Lord Basset, had issue : —
  • ii. — John Stourton, of Brimpton and Preston, Co. Somerset, of which Manor of Brimpton he was Lord. The Armorial Seals at Wells, Co. Somerset, shew the seal of this John Stourton, to be only a Griffin's head between the letters I. S., as appended to Letters of Attorney, of 26th January, 1432, in which he, and his nephew, Sir John Stourton, knight, afterwards created Baron of Stourton, Co. Wilts. ; his relative, William Carent ; and his brother. Master Richard Stourton, clerk, had seisen of lands in Melesburgh and Wokey-Hole, in Wells Forum, Co. Somerset, granted to them by John Palton, Esquire, by deed of 5th January, 1432(*). In the agreement, dated at Wells, 29th September, 14 Henry VI., relating to the building of Bishop Bubwith's Almshouses in Wells, this John Stourton, was a party as "senior" and "Esquire," which follows the description in his will, the senior being presumably used to distinguish him from his nephew. Sir John, afterwards Lord Stourton(f), for he had no sons. From two Inquisitions(+), which passed between the 7 and 8 Henry VI. , he, and others, gave and granted to the Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral Church of St. Andrew's, in Wells, the Manor of Bishop's-Kingsbury, with 14 messuages. Dovecote, 160 acres of land, 12 1/2 acres of meadow, 10 acres of pasture, and 5s. rent, in Estlangbroke ; 2 tofts [4 tofts in one Inquisition] 4 gardens, 12 acres of land, 4 acres of meadow, and 30 acres of pasture, in Hethorne, Co.

  • .... All John Stourton's landed property he had previously settled on his daughters, in his lifetime, and when his Inquisition was taken after his death, at Yeovil, in 17 Henry VI., 1439, he was called John Stourton, Esquire, of Preston, not Brimpton, and it was proved and found by the Jurors that he then held no lands, hereditaments and premises within the County of Somerset, his three daughters, (1) Cecily, wife of Thomas Kuriel, knight, aged 34 years ; (2) Johanna, wife of John Sydenham, Esquire, aged 21 years ; and (3) Alice Stourton, aged 7 years ; were his coheirs at law. These daughters were respectively children by each of his three wives, and the Inquisition is important as deciding the priority of their births. In Harleian MS., No. 1074, his first wife was erroneously given as his second one, with her name in blank, and his second wife was consequently placed as his first one, and in a pedigree prepared in 1509, there was also some confusion made in his three wives, although more care was used in ascertaining the child by each marriage, excepting as to their priority of birth. John Stourton's first wife was Joan, daughter of William Banastre, Lord of the Manors of Wheathill, Radstock, &c(*)., widow of Robert Aff'eton, living in 1395(!). He founded an obiit to "Pray for the soul of Joan, sometime the wife of John Stourton(+}." By her he had one daughter and heir, eventually a coheir : —
    • Cecily Stourton, aged 34 years in 1439, she married (1) John Hill, of Spakton, aged 21 years on his father's death, on Sunday the Feast of St. Mark, 1424(§), who himself died on Thursday next after the Feast of St. Calixtus in 1435(II), with whom she claimed a house in Wells, as heir of her maternal grandfather, William Banastre, called Lord of Wellesleigh, who had, by deed in 12 Richard II., given a messuage in Wells to a Canon thereof, which John and Cecily Hill alleged they had been dispossessed of (H). She married (2) Sir William? Kuriel, knight, of Westhangre, Kent(**), whose wife she was at her father's death, and under

    • the latter's will she had one silver cup which had belonged to one Nicholas d'Ortes. On her death, 18th April, 1472, Preston Pluckenet passed to her son and heir by John Hill(*).
  • John Stourton married, secondly, Alice Dennis or Peny, of Co. Kent, called Alice, daughter and heir of . . . Peny, by Hoare, and confirmed as to the name by Harl. MS., 1074; and as daughter of . . . Dennis, of Kent, by Edmondson. By her he had issue a daughter and coheir : —
    • Jane Stourton, aged 21 years in 1439, wrongly called Alice in the Visitation for Co. Somerset, but corrected to Jane in the old pedigree of 1509, who married John Sydenham(!), Esquire, M.P. for Co. Somerset, and which marriage is confirmed subject to Alice for Jane, by the Visitation for Co. Somerset, as well as being confirmed by Hoare and Edmondson, and supported by legal records. John Sydenham pre-deceased his wife, on the 4th April, 1460, leaving Walter, his son and heir, aged 25(+), and in his Inquisition taken in 8 Edward IV., he was called John Sydenham, senior. Esquire, and Preston Manor was then said to be held of the Honor of Trowbridge. His son and heir, Walter Sydenham, also predeceased his mother, Jane Sydenham, on the 1st May, 1469, leaving John Sydenham, his son and next heir, who was the next heir of his grandmother, Mrs. Joan Sydenham, who was seised in fee, by survivorship, of Brimpton Manor, Church, Chantry, &c., and of which she had enfeoffed certain trustees, viz: — John Chayney, John Byconyll, Robert Hymerford, and others, of the Manors of Brimpton and Alvington, with the Advowson of the Church of Brimpton, and Chantry of the blesssed Virgin Mary of Brimpton, to perform the trusts of her will. It is admitted that her husband acquired Brimpton in her right by marriage temp. Henry VI., and that the fair Manor of Brimpton, according to Mr. Batten, came down to Sir Philip Sidenham, Baronet, whose portrait is in the British Museum, from his ancestor, John Stourton, of Preston, who flourished in the reign of Henry VI. She died 21st April, 1472, and her Inquisition was taken after her death, 31st October following, at Crewkerne, before Thomas Phelipp, Escheator, when she was said to

The old manorial house of Brimpton was standing temp. Edward II's reign, still used and occupied by the owners, from that period as the Lords of Brimpton, down to that of Henry VI., when Mr. Batten thought the old Manorial residence was not destroyed but perhaps discarded, on Mrs. Sydenham's grandson, the above John Sydenham, building on or near .... etc.

  • of this John Stourton as issue of this marriage, although Hoare's copy of the College of Arms pedigree shewed Alice to be sole issue, while Collins' Peerage (Bridges) merely implied he left issue, because that writer stated the three younger brothers died without issue. She married secondly, John Beynton, of Hampreston, Dorset(*). She married, thirdly, William Wadham, who died 20th March, 1473. She married, fourthly, William Carent, of Toomer, Esquire, which marriage is confirmed by Edmondson, Collins, and Harl. MS. 1074. William Carent is identified as having previously married Margaret Stourton, sister of Sir John Stourton, knight, created Baron of Stourton(f). William Carent was the king's escheator for Counties Somerset and Dorset, in 8-9 Henry V. and 1 Henry VI., then called "junior," sometime Sheriff of those counties, M.P. for Co. Somerset, and founder, 20th March, 1463, 3 Edward IV., of the obiit in Henstridge Church for himself, his wife, Margaret (Stourton) and others, he dying 8th April, 1476. By Catherine Payne, or Pyne, (who is mentioned in her husband's will, and whose arms were blended with Stourton and Sydenham in the book plate referred to on page 73,) John Stourton had a daughter and coheir:—
    • Alice Stourton, who was aged 7 years in 1439, and from her father she inherited Pendomer Manor, &c., under his settlement and entail as before shewn under his name, which premises were eventually disentailed by her descendant, Henry Daubeney, created Earl of Bridgewater, and sold by him. She married (1) Willian Daubgney. Lord of Barrington, Co. Somerset, son and heir of Sir Giles Daubeney, knight, and consequently ancestor of Henry Daubeney, created Earl of Bridgewater ; and (2) Robert Hill, of Houndston Manor, Co. Somerset, who died in 1493, seised of that Manor, &c., his arms, impaling those of Stourton, were setup in Dunster Church, (Harl. MS., 1559, fo. 235.) Hoare in his copy of the College of Arms pedigree, says she married, 1. — William Daubeney, Esq., and 2.— Robert Hill, although Edmondson only gives the first husband, but the Visitation for Co. Worcester confirmed Hoare, calling her father Jenkin Stourton. Harleian Manuscript 1074, likewise supported these marriages, although wrongly stating her mother to have been Alice Peny, her father's second wife, but this was corrected by the old pedigree of 1509, which added that her first husband was Lord of .... etc.
