"...Royton Manor did indeed belong to an ances- tor: Robert Atwater (1479-1522). Upon his death, he passed it on to his son Robert (1500-1565) who is not in our line. In turn Robert passed it to his daughter Mary who married Robert Honywood. From there it passed to Robert [2nd] daughter Dorothy who married Henry Thompson, gent. Henry’s son Anthony, who died in 1682, passed it to his only daughter Dorothy (see above) who married Richard Crispe, gent. In turn they passed it to the Belchers, Fosters and Bests..."

• <“Markshall Estate”> In 1605, Robert Honywood of Kent purchased the property, recorded at this time as ‘Markshall’, and built a large Jacobean style Mansion House on the site of the Tudor house, which was subsequently named ‘Marks Hall’. The land continued to be recorded as ‘Markshall Park’ on maps and official records, in the parish of Markshall. The Honywoods stayed until 1897, when Thomas Phillips Price, an MP from Wales, purchased the land and house at auction.
