the noblest Cestrian Shore

Of our giv-at English bloods as careful here of yore As Cambria of her Brute's now is or could be then, For which our proverbs call her Cheshire Chief of men. And of our Counties place of Palatine doth hold, And thereto hath her high regalities enrolled ; Besides in many fields since conquering William came, Her people she hath proved to her eternal fame ; All children of her own the leader and the led, The mightiest men of bone in her full bosom bred.

PREFACE.

Some years ago it struck me as being curious that so little had been written about the Main- waring family, assuredly one of the most ancient in England. Accordingly, for some time past, I have gathered together scraps of information here and there, which, through the kindness of subscribers, I am now enabled to publish in book form. I must also acknow- ledge that I have taken many facts and the chief points of the pedigree from standard books of reference, such as the works of Sir Bernard Burke, Miss Strickland, Ormerod, Betham, and many others ; and I trust that, although there must be many faults and in- accuracies in this little book, yet, if I have been able to supply what I think has been a long- felt want among the members of the family, these may be overlooked and forgiven.

i o Preface.

I can only regret that my professional duties have not allowed me sufficient time to work out a more detailed and extensive history than I have done.

In conclusion, I must again thank those who have so kindly assisted me in publication, and also my cousin, Mr. Reginald W. Robinson, for revising the proofs, and acting as treasurer.

INTRODUCTION.

WHEN William of Normandy landed on English soil, there were among his companions in arms two Normans of the name of Warren. One of these was William de Warren, after- wards created the first Earl of Warren and Surrey ; and the other was Ranulphus de Mesnil Warm, from both of whom the present family of Mainwaring can trace their descent. Ranulphus de Mesnil Warin signifies in English Ranulphus of the Manor of Warin. Now, douhi less, these two companions in arms of William the Conqueror were brothers, as both their names signify that they came from some place in Normandy ol the name of Warren, although this spot cannot now be traced. This theory, it is believed, has never been suggested before ; but very possibly it was so, especially as the historian Ordericus Vitalis mentions that

14 Introduction.

Wiiliam de Warren is supposed to have had a .brother named Ralph, or Ranulphus. An objection can at first be raised that the two names are spelt differently ; but when you consider the changes that have come to pass in the spelling of names, as, for instance, the fact that the name of Mainwaring alone has been spelt, according- to Lower, in no less than 131 forms, surely this objection does not carry much weight.* Of course, at tins distance of time, points such as these can never be ascer- tained with any degree of certainty, but may be taken for granted, unless the contrary is proved.

As to who was the father of these two Warrens no record can be found, but if they were brothers, as is suggested, their common ancestor is believed to have come from Belleu- combrc, near St. Saens. It is proposed first to trace the line of descent from William de Warren, married to Gundred, who, we will

assume, was the youngest daughter of William the Conqueror, although much has been said and written to prove that she was the daughter of Matilda, the wife of William T., by a former husband. In spite of all this, however, there is much to be said in support of our assumption, and therefore we will begin with the Royal descent.

A SHORT HISTORY

THE MAINWARING FAMILY.

CHAPTER . I.

THE ROYAL DESCENT.

William of Normandy was bom at Falaise, m IO25, was crowned King of England on Christmas day, 1066, died 9th September, 1087, at Hermentrude, a suburb of Rouen, and was buried in St. Stephen's Church, at Caen. Tie married, in 1053, Maud, daughter of Bald- win V., Count of Flanders, who was fifth in descent from Ethelwida, daughter of Alfred the Great, and tenth in descent from Charlemagne, and she died 2nd November, 1083. Among

their children were Henry I. of England, and Gundred. Tlie^e were the ancestors of two separate lines of descent, which joined again in the fourteenth century, so we will begin with that of Henry I.

Henry ]., King of England, was born at Sclby, in Yorkshire, in 1070; died 1st Decem- ber, 1135, and was buried in Reading Abbey. He married, first, on nth November, Moo, Maud, daughter of Malcolm III. (Canmore), King of Scotland, by Margaret, his queen, sister and heiress of Edgar Atheling, heir to the Saxon kings of England.

The second wife of Henry I. was Adelicia of Louvain, married on the 2nd February, ri2i. By Maud he had a daughter, also named Maud, who was born in 1104, and died 10th Septem- ber, 1 167. This Maud (the Empress Maud, as she afterwards became) married, first, in 1114, Henry V., Emperor of German}', who died without issue on the 23rd May, 1125 ; and, secondly, on the 2nd April, 1127, Geoffrey Plantagenet, Ear! of Aftjou, who died on the 7th September, 1150. By this second husband,

the Empress Maud had a sou, afterwards Henry II. of England, who was born in 1 133, died 6th July, 1 1 89, and was buried at Fontevraud. Henry II. married, in 1 1 5 r , Eleanor, eldest daughter and co-heiress of William V., Duke of Aquitaine. She died 26th June, 1202, and was buried at Fontevraud. Henry II. and Eleanor had a son, John, afterwards King of England, who was born 24th December, 1166, died 19th October, 12 16, and was buried in Worcester Cathedral. John of England married twice : first, Isabel, daughter and heiress of William, Earl oi Gloucester, who was divorced from her on the ground of consanguinity, and, secondly, Isabella, daughter of Aymer Taillefer, Earl oi Angoulesme. She died in 1246, and was buried at Fontevraud, John and Isabella had a son, Henry, who also was afterwards King of Eng- land as Henry III. He was born 10th October, 1206, died 1 6th November, 1272, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. Henry III. of England married, on the 14th June, 1236, Eleanor, second daughter and co-heiress of Ray- mond Berenger, Count of Provence. After her

husband's death, Eleanor took the veil, and died a nun, at Ambresbury, in Wiltshire, on the 24th June, 1291. The second son of Henry III. and Eleanor was Edmund Plan- tagenet, afterwards Earl of Lancaster, who married, first, in 1269, Avelina, daughter and heiress of William de Eortibus, Earl of Albemarle ; and, second!)-, Blanche, Queen Dowager of Navarre, daughter of Robert, Count of Artois. Avelina died without issue, but by Blanche Edmund had children, his second son being Henry Plantagenet, who succeeded his father as Earl of Lancaster, and died in 1345. This Henry married Maud, daughter and heiress of Sir Patrick Chaworth, Knight, and by her had issue, his third daughter being Eleanor Plantagenet, after- wards Lady Eleanor Plantagenet, who died nth January, 1372, and was buried at Lewes. She married, first, John, Lord Beaumont, and, secondly, Richard Fitzalan, Earl of Arundel, who was born in 1306, died 24th January, 1375, and was buried at Lewes. By this second marriage the two lines of descent from Henry I.

and Gundred were united, so let us now trace that of Gundred.

Gundred, the supposed youngest daughter of William the Conqueror, died in 1085, and was buried at Lewes Priory. She married William <le Warren, first Earl of Warren and Surrey, who died on the 24th June, 1088, and was like- wise buried in Lewes Priory. They had a son, William, later the second Earl of Warren and Surrey, who died nth May, 11 38, and was buried in the Chapter House at Lewes. This second Earl married Elizabeth, the third daughter of Hugh, the great Earl of Verman- dois, and widow of Robert de Pcaumont, Earl of Leicester. She died [3th February, 1131. Of this marriage was born another William, who became the third Earl of Warren and Surrey, and was killed in a crusade by the Turks, 1 148. He married Aia, daughter of William Talvace, Earl of Ponthieu, who was the son of Robert, Earl of Belesme. The only child of William, the third earl, and Ala, was Isabella, who died 13th Jul)-, 1199, was buried at Lewes, and had two husbands ; the

first being William de Blois, the fourth Karl of Warren and Surrey, jure uxoris, who died without issue in 1 1 59, and was buried at Toulouse ; and the second being" Hameline Plantagenet, the fifth Earl of Warren and Surrey, also jure axon's, who was a natural son of Geoffrey Plantagenet, and died in 1201. By this second husband Isabella had issue William Plantagenet. the Earldom of Warren and Surrey thus passing into the family of Plantagenet, this William being the sixth earl. He died in June, 1239, and was buried in Lewes Church. This sixth carl married twice : first, Maud, daughter of William D'AIbini, Earl of Arundel, which Maud died without: issue on the 6th February, 12 15 ; secondly, Maud, eldest daughter of William Marshall, Earl of Pembroke, and widow of Hugh Bigod Earl of Norfolk. She died 31st March, 1236, and was buried in Tiritern Abbey. By his second wife the sixth carl had issue John Plantagenet, seventh Earl of Warren and Surrey, who died 27th September, 1304, at Kennington. The seventh earl married, in

77/ c Royal Descent.

1247, Alice, daughter of Hugh Le Brun, Earl of the Marshes of Aquitaine, and sister, on her mother's side, to Henry III. She died 9th February, 1290, and was buried at Lewes. The issue of this marriage were William Warren who married Joan, daughter of Robert de Vere, Earl of Oxford, and Alice. This William died in a tournament at Croydon, on the 1 5th December, 1286, and was buried at Lewes ; his widow dying in 1293, and being also buried at Lewes. They had a son, John Plantagenet, the last Earl of Warren and Surrey, who died without issue in 1347, and the estates then went to the Lady Alice, sister of the seventh earl, who married, in 1305, Edmund Fitzalan, twelfth Earl of Arundel, and thus the Earldom of Warren and Surrey became extinct. This Earl of Arundel was born on the 1st May, 1285, and was beheaded at Hereford on the 17th November, 1326. By his marriage with the Lady Alice he had a son, the Richard Fitzalan, Earl of Arundel, above re- ferred to as having married the Lady Eleanor Plantasrenet.

The Mainwaring Family

The two descents from Henry I. and Gundred being thus joined, the issue of the marriage of Lady Eleanor Plantagenet with the Earl oX Arundel was (amongst others) Mary Fitzalan, who died before her father. She married John, Lord Strange of Blackmere, and of this marriage was born Ankaret Le Strange, who married Sir Richard Talbot of Goodrich. Herefordshire, who was summoned to Parlia- ment as Lord Talbot, and died in 1396. Among their children were the great Earl of Shrews- bury and Mary Talbot, second daughter, who died 13th April, 1433, and was buried at Norton, and married Sir Thomas Greene, Knight, of Greene's Norton, Northamptonshire, who died 14th December, 1417, and was buried at Norton. They had a son Thomas, afterwards Sir Thomas Greene, Knight, who died in 1457, and was buried at Norton. He married Philippa, daughter of Robert, fourth Lord FerrerSj of Chartley, Staffordshire, by Elizabeth, daughter of Edward Baron de Spen- cer. Philippa Greene was buried at Norton. Of this marriage was born Thomas, also after-

wards Sir Thomas Greene, Knight, of Greene's Norton, who died Qlh September, 1462, and was buried at Norton. This Sir Thomas mar- ried Matilda, daughter of Sir John Throck- morton, by Eleanor, daughter and co-heiress of Sir Guy de la Spire, of Coughton, Warwickshire. Matilda Greene lies buried at Norton. The son of Sir Thomas and Matilda was another Thomas, also afterwards Sir Thomas Greene, Knight, of Greene's Norton, who married Jane, daughter of Sir John Fogg, Knight, of Repton, Kent, and died 9th November, 1506. Their daughter and co-heiress was Anne Greene, who married Sir Nicholas Vaux, who was knighted for his gallantry at the Battle of Stoke by Henry VII., and on 27th April, 1523, was created Baron Vaux of Harrowden. He died 14th May, 1525. Sir Nicholas and Anne Vaux had a son Thomas, afterwards second Lord Vaux of Harrowden, who married Elizabeth, daughter and heiress of Sir Thomas Gheney, Knight, ol Istlinburg, Northamptonshire, and died in 1562.

CHAPTER VI.

HISTORICAL SCRAPS.

The Mainwaring coat-of-arms, in Heraldic language, is " two bars, gules," the crest " out of a ducal coronet, or, an ass's head in a hempen halter, ppr," and the motto " Devant si je puis."

There are several stories as to the origin of the crest and motto. The most common is that Ranulphus de Mesnil Warin, at the Battle of Hastings, had his horse beneath him pierced by an arrow, whereupon he jumped upon an ass, exclaiming, " Devant si je puis." The legend, however, must be accepted aim grano salts.

We will now briefly enumerate scraps of history and some of the noble deeds accom- plished by the family, taking them, as far as possible, in chronological order.

Gundred, the supposed youngest daughter of

78 The Mainwaring Family.

William the Conqueror, although some authori- ties believe her to have been the daughter of Matilda, by another husband, and William, her husband, the first Earl of Warren and Surrey, were celebrated and charitable in their lives. William de Warren founded the Church and Monastery of St. Pancras at Lewes, in Sussex, as his charter sets forth, " for the health of his soul, and the soul of Gundred his wife, and for the soul of King William, who brought him into England, for the health also of Queen Maud, mother of his wife, and for the health of King William, her son, who made him Earl of Surrey."

Warren was one of the most ferocious of William's followers, but was sincerely attached to his wife. The remains of both were dis- covered on October 28th, iS45,by the workmen cutting for the Lewes and Brighton railroad through the grounds of St. Pancras Priory, in two leaden coffins, with simply Gundrada on the one and Wilhclmus on the other. They are now deposited in Sputhover Church, together with a tablet previously discovered, which was

Historical Scraps. 79

stolen when Thomas Cromwell demolished the Prior)', and was found worked into the tomb of one of the Shirleys at Isfield. This tablet pre- serves part of the mutilated monastic verses that, commemorated the virtues of Gundred, and these verses have been beautifully trans- lated into modern English rhymes by the learned historian of Lewes, as follows : —

'•' Gundred, illustrious branch of princely race, Brought into England's Church balsamic grace ; Pious as Mary, and as Martha kind, To generous deeds she gave her virtuous mind. Though the cold tomb her Martha's part receives, Her Mary's better part for ever lives. O, holy Pancras, keep, with gracious care, A mother who his made thy sons her heir ; On the sixth Calehd of June's fatal morn, The marble

William de Warren also founded the Abbey of Lewes, and built many noble castles, chief among which were Hedingham, in Essex, and Castle Acre, in Norfolk, which latter must have been the strongest fortress in the Eastern

Counties. The epitaph on his tomb is as follows : —

" Who seeks Ear] Warrenne's tomb may look around, And mark the buildings on this holy ground, For here with pious zeal his wealth he spent In rearing this his noblest monument. Here the poor brethren whom his bounty fed, With dirge and requiem laid his honored head ; Saint Pancras here his mouldering ashes guards, May the good Saint secure him rich rewards ; And grant him with the blest above to reign Who to Saint Pancras raised this stately fane."

Sir Raufe Mainwaring, Knight of Over Peover, who married Amicia, the daughter of Hugh Kyveliock, Earl of Chester, was Justice of Cheshire in the time of Richard I. His marriage was considered a very noble alliance, as indeed it was.

William Mainwaring, of Over Peover, who married Catherine Bclgrave and Clementia Cotton, departed out of England towards Guyen in 1393, and made his will in 1394. His seal, 17 Richard II., had the impression of his coat and crest, viz., in an escutcheon two

bars only and cornerways on the dexter angle, on a helmet an ass's head couped, inscribed about it S. Willielmi Maynwaringe. For at this time the house of Warmincham, formerly the elder branch, was extinct, and devolved to a daughter and heiress, and therefore he bore their arms as next heir male, and this coat-of- arms his descendants have ever since continued.

His half-brother John, who succeeded him, waited on the Prince Henry, afterwards King Henry V., and was made Sheriff of Cheshire on the )8th September, 1843, in the words of the writ, "Quamdiu nobis placuerit." He con- tinued sheriff for three years, the Earl of Chester calling him "Armigerum suum." This John, with Matthew Del Mere and Thomas Meyshawc, was appointed Judge of the gaol delivery at Chester in 1404, " hac vice nono de Aprilis."

Randle, the brother of John, as shown above, married Margery Buckley. He petitioned the king for enjoying his wife's dower in 1393, as he had married her without the Royal license.

1 1 is son William was the ancestor of the

The Mainwaring Family

Mainwarings of Ightfield, in Shropshire. Mr. Walker, in his " Sufferings of the Clergy," says : " A descendant of this branch (though a younger son), I take it, was Dr. Roger Manwaring, who was born at Stretton, in Shropshire, and edu- cated in the University of Oxford. Me was sometime Vicar of St. Giles'-in-the-Fields, and Chaplain to King Charles I. ; before whom preaching those sermons entitled ' Religion and Allegiance,' he was called in question for it by the Parliament, charged with endeavour- ing to destroy the King and Kingdom by his divinity, and censured, to be imprisoned, was fined ;£i,ooo, and ordered to make his submis- sion, and was disabled to have or enjoy any preferment or office. However, the King soon after pardoned him, and gave him the rich living of Stanford Rivers, in Essex, in 1653 made him Dean of Worcester, and two years after nomi- nated him to the Bishopric of St. David's. In 1640 his troubles were revived in Parliament, and though the old grudge lay still at the bottom of the prosecution, yet the new crimes of Popish innovation, conversing with Papists,

Historical Scraps. 8

and being sociable and jovial, were trumped up against him, upon which he was (as Lloyd, in his 'Memoirs,' p. 274, expresses it) apprehended suddenly, confined severely, fined heavily, plun- dered violently, persecuted from place to place continually, insomuch that for the last two years of his life not a week passed over his head with- out a messenger or an injury, which he desired God not to remember against his adversaries, and abjured all his friends to forget. Under these his troubles he had nothing left but a small temporal estate to support him, and died at Carmarthen, July 1 6th, 1653. He was of a pious life and conversation, and very charitable, as appears particularly by one of the three great designs which he had in pursuit, namely : the redeeming of captives, and though he laboured under a veiy severe character with the Puritans (and not without reason, if the accusation against him was true of straining the prerogative in the matter of raising money without the consent of Parliament), yet by the Royalists he was esteemed worthy of the great function which

he bore, being a person of great zeal for the Church of England."

This last-mentioned Randlewas also a courtier, styled "Armiger Regis" and "Sagittarius dc Corona," in 1399, and went into Ireland with his brother John, in the service of the King, in 1400. He was called Honkyn Mainwaring, or Hondekyn the Good. In 1390 he was made one of the Yeomen of the Crown during pleasure, and was accorded sixpence a day. In 1416 he was made Serjeant of the Peace, and in 1424 lands at Goostrey were settled on him by Randle de Roley. This Randle lived to a great age, and lies buried in a stone chapel on the south side of Over Peovcr Church with his wile, who erected two monuments for herself and her husband.

In 1460 the King, Henry VI., sent a letter to Sir John Mainwaring, Knight, son and heir of Randle, that he deliver to the Lord Stanley these persons following, then in the Castle of Chester, for some matters alleged against them in the late Parliament at Coventry, to wit, Thomas and John Nevill, sons of the Earl of

Historical Scraps. 8

Salisbury, Sir Thomas Harrington, James Harrington, Raufe Rokeby, Thomas Ashton, and Robert Everous, Esquires. Sir John Main- waring, Knight, great-grandson of the last- mentioned Sir John, was Sheriff of Flintshire in 1514. By his will, among other things, he gave to Charles Main waring, his bastard brother, yearly, £l 6s. 8d., for his life, &c, dated 4th March, 15 1 5. He lies buried with his wife in Over Peover Church, their monument being very quaint.

Philip Mainwaring, Esq., of Over Peover, son of Sir John, lies buried with his wife Anne in Over Peover Church, and to their memory is erected a very singular monument, with an epitaph, an exact copy of which is:

" Lyke as this marble now doeth hyde The bodies of thcisse twayne : So shall not thou on earth lyve longe, But turne to dust ngayne. Then learn to dye, and dye to lyve : As theissc two heare example gyve."

Sir Randle, son of Philip, was Sheriff of Cheshire in 1605.

86 The Mainwaring Family.

His son, Edmund Mainwaring, was an LL.D. and Chancellor of Chester in 1642.

Another son, John, living in 1634, was a D.D. Another, Sir Philip, was Secretary for Ireland to the Earl of Stafford, in 163S.

Sir Randle, son and heir of the last-mentioned Sir Randle, was Sheriff of Limerick, in Ireland, in 1605, Sheriff of Cheshire in 1619, and Mayor of Chester the same year.

Philip, his son and heir, was Captain of the Light Horse in Cheshire, and was Sheriff of Cheshire in 1639. There is a handsome monu- ment in Over Peover Church erected to him and his wife Pollen.

Sir Thomas Mainwaring, Bart., son and heir of Philip, was the first Baronet of the family, and was so created after the Restoration. He was Pligh Sheriff of Cheshire in 1657, and served with Sir George Booth (afterwards Lord Delamcr) as Knight of the Shire, in the Parlia- ment at Westminster, at the Restoration. He was also Deputy-Lieutenant of Cheshire many years. He is buried with his wife in Over

Historical Scraps. 87

Peover 'Church, but their tomb cannot now be traced.

Sir John Mainwaring, Bart., his successor, was for many years Knight of the Shire for Cheshire, and also Deputy-Lieutenant and Captain of the Light Morse. Me accompanied Henry, Lord Delamer (afterwards the Earl of Warrington), and many other noblemen at the Revolution.

Sir John and his wife are buried in a chapel at the north side of the chancel in Over Peover Church.

Sir Henry Mainwaring, Bart., was the nephew of the last-mentioned Sir John. He received the earlier part of his education under the celebrated Mr. Dongworth of Durham School, and from thence, in 1744, he was admitted as nobleman of Lincoln College, Oxford, and was by that University presented to an honorary degree of Master of Arts. In 1759 he went abroad, and made the tour of Italy, and en his return home served as Captain in the Regiment of Royal Cheshire Militia, commanded by the

88 The Mainwaring Family,

Right Honorable Lord Viscount Malpas. In May, 1764, he was promoted to the rank of Major in the same Regiment, then commanded by his intimate friend and companion of his travels in foreign parts, the Right Honorable George Harry Earl of Stamford. On the death of this Sir Henry Mainwaring without having married, the title became extinct, and the Over Peover estates passed to the Wetenhall family.

Dr. John Mainwaring, D.D., son of Edward Mainwaring, Esq., of Whit more, was Rector of Stoke-on-Trent in 1633. In the parish register is the following notice of his induction :

"Johannes Mainwaring, Alius natu minor Edovardi Mainwaring, de Whitmore Armigeri, Artium Magister, Socius Collegii Caio — Gun- villensis in Academio Cantabrigiensi,praesentatus est ad Rectoriam Ecclesiae parochialis de Stoke per Rogerum Brereton de novo Castro Armigero, inductus fuit per Alexander How, sacrac theo- logiae Baccalaureus a.d. 1633."

In the register of burials there is:

" 1692, May 14. Johannes Mainwaring, ST. P. cum exstitisset Rector Ecclesiae de

Stoke per spatium quinquaginta et nona Annorum expiravit die et anno supradictis."

Edward Main waring, Esq., of Whitmore, in Charles I.'s reign, took the side of the Parlia- ment and fortified Whitmore against the Royal troops. He was appointed, too, High Sheriff for the county b}' the Rebel Government in 1646.

His son Edward was appointed, in March, 1645, to demolish the Castle of Heleigh, but the loyalty of the family returned with the Restoration, and Charles II. made him, in 16G9, High Sheriff.

In 1745 Edward Main waring, Esq., did good service against the Scotch rebellion, and marched before his tenantry against the invaders. He was appointed High Sheriff for Staffordshire in 1768.

Rear-Admiral Rowland Mainwaring, of Whitmore, greatly distinguished himself in the French War. He served as a midshipman in the Majestic at the Battle of the Nile, and in the Defence at the siege of Copenhagen. One of his last commands was that of the Caledonia,

We will not dwell further upon the deeds of the Mainwarings, having just touched upon some of the chief of them ; but will con- clude with two memorials from Whitmore Church.

A marble monument is erected over the tomb of Edward Mainwaring, and /Mice his wife, formerly Alice de Boghey. By this marriage, it will be remembered, the Whitmore estates first passed into the Mainwaring family. On the monument there is, in very old English characters :

" Here lyelh the bodies of Edwarde Manwaringe, of Whitmore, in the Countie of Stafford, Esquire, ;i younger sonne of Sir John Manwaringe, of Pever and Badyley, in the Countie of Chester, Kt. : also his wyffe right heir o^ Whitmore, Bedulph, Andeslay, and Baggenall, wich Edwarde Manwaringe deceased the day of .... in the yere of y'Lord, Ano Mo.

In the parish register of Whitmore there is the following curious tribute to the memory of Sarah, formerly Stone, who married Edward Mainwaring, Esq., of Whitmore :

" Sarah Mainwaring, virtutis exemplum et ornamentum, sexus gloria et eclipsis, ex assidua pietate in Deum, profusa liberalitate in pauperes, spectata probitate in omnes, ab omnibus imi- tanda pariter et admiranda, Vidua Edvardi Mainwaring, Armigeri, maximo omnium luctu necnon et damno, sepulchro conditur, July, Anno Domini 164s."
