Sir Philip Englefield, Sr., of Berkshire

Englefield House Englefield House was the home of the Englefield family, supposedly from the time of King Edgar. Sir Thomas Englefield was the Speaker of the House of Commons. In 1559, the house was confiscated from his grandson, Sir Francis Englefield, a servant of the Catholic Queen Mary, for "consorting with [the] enemies" of the new Protestant monarch, Elizabeth I. The family later lived at Whiteknights Park in Earley and continued to be buried in Englefield parish church until 1822. Popular local tradition insists that the Queen granted Englefield to her spymaster, Sir Francis Walsingham, although there is no evidence of this.

                • He died in 1537, and was s. by his eldest son, SIR FRANCIS ENGLEFELD, of Englefeld, who was sheriff of the counties of Berks and Oxford, at the death of Henny VIII. and first year of Edward VI. and received the honour of knighthood 22nd February, 1547. He was one of the chief officers in the Princess Mary's family, and one of those sent by the protector and council to prohibit the hearing and celebrating mass in her highness’s house; but refusing to deliver such orders, and submitting rather to any punishment, he was committed for several months to prison, with Sir Robert Rochester, Sir Walgrave, and Dr. Francis Mallet, the princess’s chaplain. Upon Queen MARY’s accession to the throne, he was, in consideration of his faithful services, sworn of the privy council, appointed master of the wards, and had from the crown, the manor and park of Fulbrook, in the county of Warwick, to hold in capite, being part of the forfeited lands of the attainted John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland. He sate in parliament, in the same reign, for the county of Berks; but on Elizabeth’s accession, he was obliged, with Sir Thomas Gage, Sir Thomas Shelley, and others, to depart the kingdom. In the 6th of ELIZABETH, he was indicted in the King’s Bench for high treason committed at Nemures, in partibus transmarinis, and outlawed. He was subsequently attainted and convicted of high treason, at the parliament, 29th October, 28 ELIZABETH, and all his manors, lands, and vast possessions were declared forfeited to the queen; but Sir Francis, having by indenture of the Isth of the same reign, settled his manor and estate of Englefield on Francis, his nephew, with power, notwithstanding, of revoking his grant, if he, during his natural life, should deliver or tender to his nephew a gold ring; with intent to make void the uses of his said settlement, various disputes and points of law arose, whether the said manor and estate of Englefield were forfeited to the queen; but the case, after procrastinated discussion, not appearing clear, the queen, in the ensuing parliament, 35 ELIZABETH, had a special act passed to confirm the attainder, and to establish the forfeiture to herself, her heirs, and assigns; enacting that the queen should take the advantage of revocating an assurance, with a condition made by him upon the tender of a ring of gold to his nephew, &c.; and the queen in consequence tendering by R. Broughton and H. Bouchier, the ring to Englefield, the nephew, seized and confiscated the said manors and estate, and many other pos- sessions. By this arbitrary stretch of power, the manor and estate of Englefeld, which had been upwards of 780 years in the family, were alienated and transferred to the crown. Sir Francis retired to Valladolid, in Spain, where he was a bountiful benefactor to the English College, and being worn out with persecution and years, died, and was buried there, about the year 1592, He m. Catherine, daughter and heir of Sir Thomas Fettiplace, ofCompton Beauchamp, in the Vale of Berks; but having no issue, the representation of the family devolved upon his brother—

British History Online – Parishes: Englefield "Manors"

• Originally published by Victoria County History, London, 1923. A History of the County of Berkshire: Vol. 3.
  • ENGLEFIELD was held under King Edward the Confessor by a certain Alwin, and after the Norman Conquest it was apparently granted to William Fitz Ansculf. (fn. 5) At the time of the Domesday Survey the overlordship of the manor was vested in William Fitz Ansculf, (fn. 6) who also held the neighbouring manor of Bradfield. (fn. 7) Englefield was one of a small group of manors which were dependent on Bradfield and were held by military service from its lords, the families of Paynell, Somery, de la Beche and Langford (fn. 8); the last reference to the overlordship is in the reign of Henry VIII, when it is stated that Sir Thomas Englefield held Englefield of Anne Langford as of her manor of Bradfield. (fn. 9) Englefield Manor owed suit every three weeks to the court of Bradfield. (fn. 10)
  • …SIR ALAN was a justice for Berkshire in 1226, (fn. 22) but he seems to have died shortly after that date. (fn. 23) His son WILLIAM held Englefield for many years, (fn. 24) the last mention of him being in 1258. (fn. 25) William was succeeded by JOHN ENGLEFIELD and WILLIAM ENGLEFIELD, his son and grandson respectively, (fn. 26) but his widow Margery, who probably married a member of the family of Wiliton, (fn. 27) seems to have held the whole manor for her life. (fn. 28) JOHN ENGLEFIELD died about 1276, (fn. 29) and in 1277 William granted the manor of Englefield to ROGER DE MEYLAND, or Longespee, Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, for life for the rent of 1d. yearly. (fn. 30) The bishop died in 1295. (fn. 31) The Englefields, however, answered for the feudal services due from the manor to their chief lords. (fn. 32) WILLIAM died before 1280–1 (fn. 33) and was succeeded by ROGER ENGLEFIELD, (fn. 34) who was a knight of the shire for Berkshire in the Parliaments of 1307 and 1312. (fn. 35) He was in seisin of the manor in 1316, (fn. 36) but died shortly afterwards, (fn. 37) and his son PHILIP ENGLEFIELD inherited his lands. (fn. 38) In 1334 PHILIP obtained exemption for life from being put on assizes and juries, and from the compulsory duty of serving as an officer of the king. (fn. 39) Some years later, however, he served on a commission of oyer and terminer and was a collector of a tenth and fifteenth in Oxfordshire. (fn. 40) He is said to have died in 1362 and to have been succeeded by his son SIR JOHN ENGLEFIELD, (fn. 41) who died in 1368. (fn. 42) Isabel, Sir John's widow, survived him and afterwards married Thomas Prior (fn. 43); she released all her right in Englefield to three trustees in 1398. (fn. 44) Sir John's son and heir, another JOHN ENGLEFIELD, made a settlement of his right in the manor in April 1386, (fn. 45) presumably on his wife Nichole and their heirs. He died before 1404, when his widow had married John Golafre, (fn. 46) and he is said to have left no sons but a daughter named Nichole. (fn. 47) In 1404, however, WILLIAM ENGLEFIELD, son of JOHN ENGLEFIELD, is mentioned, (fn. 48) but it seems uncertain whether this is the same John. The manor, in any case, apparently passed to a younger branch of the family, (fn. 49) and was held in 1428 by PHILIP ENGLEFIELD, (fn. 50) who, according to the pedigrees, was John's uncle. He was Sheriff of Oxfordshire and Berkshire in 1430, (fn. 51) and died at Englefield in 1439. (fn. 52) ROBERT ENGLEFIELD, one of the esquires of Henry VI, succeeded him. Various settlements of the manor of Englefield appear to have been made at this time, (fn. 53) but on the death of Robert (fn. 54) it descended to his grandson SIR THOMAS ENGLEFIELD, his son John having predeceased him in 1464. (fn. 55) Sir Thomas sat as a knight of the shire for Berkshire in several of the Parliaments in the reign of Henry VII and was Speaker of the Commons in 1496. (fn. 56) He died in 1514 and was succeeded by his son, another THOMAS, (fn. 57) who was a justice of the Common Pleas. (fn. 58) The latter settled the manor of Englefield on his wife ELIZABETH, who survived him. (fn. 59) Their son and heir FRANCIS (fn. 60) attained to greater personal distinction than any previous member of the family. He served as sheriff of the county in 1547, (fn. 61) and was made a knight of the carpet at the coronation of Edward VI. (fn. 62) He became one of the chief officers of the household of Princess Mary, and was involved in the religious difficulties of the time, being forbidden to allow the celebration of mass in the princess's household. The order of the council was not obeyed, and he with two of his fellow officers were sent to the Tower in 1551, but their imprisonment was only of short duration. SIR FRANCIS, however, remained all his life a firm supporter of the old religion. On the accession of Queen Mary he was rewarded for his services, being made a privy councillor and master of the Court of Wards and Liveries. (fn. 63) Throughout the reign he sat in Parliament as one of the knights of the shire for Berkshire. His career came abruptly to a close on the accession of Elizabeth. Foreseeing the downfall of the old religion he fled from England in 1559 (fn. 64) and lived in exile for the remainder of his life. (fn. 65)…
  • At the close of the 13th century MARGERY DE WILITON held the assize of bread and ale at Englefield, (fn. 107) and PHILIP ENGLEFIELD, son of ROGER ENGLEFIELD, held certain unspecified regalities there in the 14th century. (fn. 108) The lords of the manor do not seem to have held the view of frankpledge until several centuries later. Presumably as long as the manor was held under the lords of Bradfield the latter held the view for Englefield, but after the lapse of the overlordship and the forfeiture of Englefield to the Crown in the 16th century Sir John Davis and his successors held the view of frankpledge in their manor of Englefield. (fn. 109)
