WINWICK MANOR, NORTHAMPTON

"Sir Thomas Andrew(es) of Charwelton acquired the Winwick estates upon marriage to Sir Thomas Malory's great-great-great-granddaughter Katharine Cave around 1540, and further augmented his holding by acquisition of the Pipewell Abbey lands, which had become available following Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries. The Andrewes family illustrate perfectly the 'rise of the gentry' -- rising through four generations from merchants to Midlands squires. The series of brasses and memorials in Charwelton church marks the profound change from mercator (merchant), through generosus (gentleman), armiger (bearing arms), to miles (knight). Sir Thomas, clearly a man of no little ego, served as Sheriff of Northamptonshire, built himself a fine monumental tomb in Charwelton after the death of his first wife (and before his own) and crowned his achievements with an impressive new house, now known as Winwick Manor, on the high ground overlooking his Winwick estates.......The oldest inhabited brick house in Northamptonshire (the honour of the oldest brick house, unlived in for over 300 years, goes to Dower House at Fawsley, built by Sir Thomas' cousin; a touch of family rivalry here?), Winwick Manor House...was certainly lived in at the time of Sir Thomas' death in 1564, and passed to his 22 year old son, Thomas Andrew.......The triumphal arch opening onto the original entrance court, a common feature in Northamptonshire, is described by Pevsner as 'a very fine piece of Elizabethan display' and by Timothy Mowry as 'the earliest and most overtly classical archway in the county'. The spandrels of the arch bear the moor's head -- complete with hoop earrings -- the Andrewes family crest."

THE VISITATION OF NORTHAMPTONSHIRE, 1564 -- "Andrew of Charwelton" _____________ The above is incorrect or incomplete.

Regarding Pipewell, Abbey:

In connexion with evidences of royal favour it is recorded that the king exercised the right of imposing pensioners on the abbey as in the case of houses of royal foundation and patronage. (fn. 14) In May, 1310, Edward II. sent John de Somery, his scullion, to the abbey to receive the necessaries of life in food and clothing for himself and a groom and horse. (fn. 15) Thomas Barber was sent in 1317 to receive maintenance for his lifetime in the convent, (fn. 16) and in 1330 William atte Hall was sent to receive such maintenance as William le Hunt enjoyed at the late king's request.

This want of management seems to have continued under Andrew de Royewell, who succeeded in 1298, (fn. 25) and was in other respects an able and vigorous administrator. He is said to have made new quire stalls for the monks. He had held the office of cellarer under abbot Thomas of Grafton and two successive Abbots, and it was through his energy when cellarer that so much was done to the granges in different places. He built a chamber and kitchen for the use of the monks at the grange of Bigging (Thurleston), removed the grange of Rokeby, which had been in the village, to another place, and built some cottages, planted part of Causton Grange by the sheepfold, and rebuilt the Northamptonshire grange of Braybrooke, erecting there a hall, chapel, chambers, and rear-dorter. When he entered on his office as cellarer, the brethren were in the habit of using wooden spoons, but Andrew provided fifty silver spoons, probably from some special bequest, and on each of them was stamped his name. A very human touch of weakness is recorded in connexion with this stamping. When John de Hillum succeeded as abbot he took offence at the name of Andrew on the spoons, and caused the name to be deleted and his own substituted. Richard of Hayham, on his promotion as abbot, took the wiser course of erasing this name and substituting the word 'Pipewell' 'which remains on the spoons unto this day,' adds the monastic chronicler. (fn. 26)

On 26 February, 1311, during the rule of Thomas of Thockerington, the church of the Blessed Mary of Pipewell was dedicated. The following year the cemetery, cloisters, and chapter-house were dedicated by a certain bishop from Ireland on 5 April, by licence of the bishop of Lincoln. At the consecration of the church there was a vast concourse of men and women, and among the magnates attending the ceremony were Thomas, earl of Lancaster, Baron William de Ros, and Baron Richard Basset. (fn. 27) I
