- 'William Clopton, Lord of the Manors of Castelyns and Ramsden Belhous
- 'William Clopton was the son and heir of Richard Clopton, Gentleman, of Fore Hall and the Manor of Castelyns and his second wife, Margery Playters. William’s uncle, Francis Clopton died without issue and in his will dated February 22, 1558, proved July 7, 1559, names his "nephew William Clopton, son of my brother Richard Clopton" his heir. He married Margery Waldegrave the daughter of Edward Waldegrave, Gentleman, of Lawford Hall in Essex and Joan Acworth Bulmer. ................
- Joan was the daughter of George Acworth of Luton, Bedfordshire, heir of her mother Margaret Wilberforce. Joan married William Bulmer, son of Sir John Bulmer. It was not a happy marriage and there were no children. She left her husband and joined the boisterous throng of Duchess Agnes and she and Katherine became close friends. ..............
- Following his release from prison and marriage to Joan, Edward bought a reversionary interest in Lawford Hall from the Crown in 1560, and after obtaining a lifetime lease of the Manor, he entirely rebuilt the Hall. They had five children: Edward, Anne Waldegrave Monox, Mary Waldegrave Ashtley, Bridget Waldegrave Keightley; and 'Margery(Margaret) who married William Clopton'. Joan was buried December 10, 1590 in Lawford Church. Edward died August 13, 1584. Their commemorative tomb shows two kneeling figures with the Waldegrave arms beneath. The inscription reads: The end of the just is peace.
- The past "unpleasantness" involving Edward and Joan evidently did not preclude the general opinion that by marrying 'Margery, William Clopton consolidated his status and rank. William and Margery had ten children and every one of them lived to adulthood and all except one son married. Their children were: Anne Clopton Maidstone; Bridgett Clopton Sampson; Thomasine Clopton Winthorp who became Governor of Massachusetts; William Clopton son and heir; Walter Clopton who also married into the Maidstone family; Waldegrave Clopton; Mary Clopton Jenney; Margery Clopton; The Reverend Thomas Clopton, Curate of Ramsden Belhouse; and Elizabeth Clopton Cocke.
- 'Ever true to family tradition, William managed to be tossed into prison. In November 1608 he was imprisoned in the Fleet Prison in London. He became involved, possibly as a Trustee in a local land dispute. Charged with him of contempt, were two other men, Dr. John Duke of Colchester, a physician, and Mr. Brampton Gurdon of Assington a powerful local magnate. All three were of the highest rank locally and their arrest was shocking. They languished in jail until December 22, 1608 when they were released. The court adjudged that they had purged their contempt, and in the words of their counsel: They are men of good fashion and credit in the countye and good householders there.
- 'William died August 8, 1616. He and Margery are buried at St. Bartholomew’s Church at Groton.
