I am trying to find out what happened to John Huntley who owned Boxwell
Court,
Tetbury, Gloucestershire. this is all the information that I know:

John Huntley was a Captain and in powerful company as one of
them later signed King Charles death warrant.
John was wounded and captured at the Battle of Cirencester in 1643 & thrown
into
prison at Oxford. John had fought against the King. His Uncle, Mathew
Huntley, who had fought for the King came into possession of Boxwell
Court but how??? What happened to John Huntley?? Did he live, was
exiled and showed up in Boston, MA in 1647 three years later??

I would also Like to try and acquire the Manor roll of Boxwell Court it
might show when & why John lost Boxwell Court. He is not buried in the
adjoining chapel.
What happened to all those captured at Cirencester?? The one who signed
the death warrant
was one but was set free.

Boxwell Court

Boxwell Court is a country house near Leighterton in Gloucestershire. In its grounds there is a small church, and the house is thought to be the site of a former monastery, which was then given to the Huntley family following Henry the Eighth's dissolution of the monasteries. The House has continually been in the Huntley family since that time, it is believed that the family have lived on the site for 600 years. The estate is approximately 1,000 acres (4.0 km²) which although large in today's terms, is small compared to the size of the Huntley's former Gloucestershire estates which included Woodchester and Frocester. The estate is known for its Box wood which used to provide a very large income to the Huntleys.
The house has been frequented by royalty, Prince Rupert stayed in the house on several occasions; and his spurs and the bed in which he slept remain in the house. Charles II when fleeing from the Battle of Worcester stayed on the estate and, in gratitude to the family gave them his ring which remains in the family's possession.

OBIT: Rev. Richard Webster Huntley - Rector of Boxwell with Leighterton

The Gentleman's magazine, Volume 203

1857.] Obituary.—Rev. Richard Webster Huntley, M.A. 561

The Rev. Richard Webster
Huntley, M.A.

May 4. At Leighterton, Gloucestershire, after a short illness, aged G4, the Rev. Richard Webster Huntley, M.A., Rector of Boxwell with Leighterton, late Rural Dean, and Proctor in Convocation for the Archdeaconry of Bristol.

His paternal family can be traced in England from the time of the Conqueror, under whom his ancestors held grants in the parish of Huntley, Gloucestershire, and through his mother he was the direct representative of the celebrated Bishop Warburton. Mr. Huntley was born April 2, 1793; he matriculated at Oriel College, Oxford, a Gentleman-Commoner in 1811, and having taken his B.A. degree in 1815, he was elocted a Fellow of All Souls, and proceeding regularly to the degr. eof M.A., he filled the office of Proctor of the University in 1824-5. In 1829 he took tho small college living of Alberbury, in Shropshire, a vicarage which was tenable with his Fellowship. In July, 1830, he married Mary, eldest daughter of the late Richard Lyster, lsq., of Rowton Castle, then M P. for Shrewsbury; and on the death of his father, tho Rev. Richard Huntley, Oct. 16, lb31, he succeeded in the family estates and rectory of Boxwell-cumLoighterton. He resided at Alberbury till 1839, when he came to reside at Boxwellcourt, the residence of his ancestors.

In 1841, Mr. Huntley was unanimously chosen Proctor in Convocation for the Archdeaconry of Bristol, and was present at the next meeting in September. In 1843, a plan was proposed by tho government to suppress one of the Welsh bishoprics, by uniting Bangor and St. Asaph,—in order that a new see might be created for Manchester. The union of tho two sees of Gloucester and Bristol had forsome time been felt to be hurtful to the Church, and a large body of tho clergy, wishing to support Lord Powis in his opposition to the proposed Gent. Mao. Vol. CCIII.

union, requested Mr. Huntley to undertake the management of tho business. In the debate on this bill, the Duke of Wellington and the Bishop of London stated that the union of the sees of Gloucester and Bristol was advantageous to the Church—which statement created such a feeling in the dioceso, that 168 of tho clergy signed a momorial expressly stating that the union was not advantageous, but very hurtful to tho interests of the Church. In consequence of this memorial, Mr. Huntley carried on a lengthened correspondence with the Duke of Wellington, the Bishop of London, and many others: the happy result was, that the Wolsh bishopric was preserved, and Manchester erected to a see, without injury to other dioceses. For his untiring exertions in this cause, the Church will over owe a deep debt of gratitude to him.

At the beginning of this movement he had been appointed by the bishop, with the univei^sal approbation of the clergy, the Rural Dean for the deanery of Hankesbury, an office which he held many years, to the great satisfaction of all with whom he was brought in contact.

It was in the same year—in Nov. 1844— upon the recommendation of Bishop Monk, in his visitation charge, (suggested to his Lordship by a request from some of the clergy of the deanery several years before, that he would sanction their meeting together as a Kuri.decanal Synod,) that Mr. Huntloy presided at the first synodieal meeting.

In October, 1847, another grave question agitated the Church, and he was requested by many Churchmen to object to the confirmation, in Bow Church, of Dr. Hampden, Bishop-elect of Hereford. But Mr. Huntley, ever thinking as humbly of himself as he most highly did of Church ordinances and doctrines, did not consider himself of sufficient weight either for his position or his talents, to appear as an objector, standing by himself alone; it was therefore agreed that he should bo supported in the objection by the Rev. W. F. Powel, vicar of ( irencester, and the Rev. J. Jebb, rector of Pctorstow—the last, as well as hims.lf, holding preferment in the dioceso of Horoford ». On the 24th of March, 1848, Dr. Hampden was consecrated Bishop of Hereford.

The decision given on the Gorham case in 18i0 was a very sore grievance to Mr. Huntloy; and so deeply wore his feelings wounded, that ho tendered to the Bishop his resignation of the office of Rural Dean. He was induced by his Lordship to delay his resignation for six months, in the hope that his opinions might change in the interim; but at the end of that period, against the urgent wishes of the clergy, he adhered to his determination, and the Bishop most reluctantly accepted his resignation ; but he retained" the office of Proctor in Convocation, where he took au active part in the pro

ceedings for the revival of the legislative funct'ons of that assembly of the Church, as tho boat safeguard against encroachment, ore, and attacks upon her; and he was year by year comforted by seeing the opinion gaining ground, that synodical action was necessary for the well-being of the Church. At the last election, in April, 1857, a few weeks only before his daath, he resigned this office, considering that he had done his part in the work of revival.

His knowledge of family history, particularly the families in his own county, and local traditions and antiquities, was very extensive. He was also a good herald, carrying his studies far beyond the ordinary studies of amateur heralds. Few persons were possessed of more varied information on literary subjects: he had the art of imparting knowledge in a very fascinating manner.

For many years Mr. Huntley had lived in comparative retirement, not hiding from duty, but caring for his own and for his neighbours in the spirit of a true Christian, "zealous of good works" to the last; and to the last the delight of all who had the privilege of his society. The brilliant sparks of his conversation, united as it was with most genial kindliness of manner; his wit, ever playful and buoyant, never painfully satirical; his memory exact, and richly stored with anecdote, historical and personal ; his sentiments upon greater subjects always generous and high-toned; these points of character have seldom been seen in more agreeable combination. Seldom has a man left behind him more lively and regretful impressions; such as will not allow us to he satisfied without some attempt to record what we have lost.

"Hie saltern- accumulem donis et fungar inani Munere."

HUNTLEYs - probably of Gothic race

The Norman people and their existing descendants in the British dominions ...

Huntley, or Fitz-Baderon. William Fitz-Baderon held the barony of Monmouth, including 22 lordships, 1086 (Domesd.), and had, 1. Wyenoc, father of Gilbert, whose son Balderon held the barony 1165, from whom descended John de Monmouth, t. Henry IH. 2. Balderon, ancestor of the Huntleys. He, with his son John Trone, witnessed a charter of Wyenoc of Monmouth (Mon. Angl. i. 600). Balderon is mentioned as brother of Wyenoc (lb.). In the next generation Richard de Huntilande or Huntley held, 1165, with Balderon of Monmouth, a knight's fee from the See of Hereford (Lib. Niger). In the time of King John, Walter de Huntley held Hope Maloysel from John, Baron of Monmouth, and it was held of him by the Abbey of Gloucester (Testa", 63). Thomas de H., t. Henry IH., witnessed a charter of the same Baron (Mon. Angl. i. 601).

The ancestor of this house, William Fitz-Baderon or Baldran, appears to have been a scion of the lords or princes of Jarnac, in Angoumois and Saintonge, probably of Gothic race. In 973 Hugh, a son of this house, was Bishop of Angouleme (Bouquet, x. 248). Wardrade Loriches, Prince of Jarnac, with his wife Rixindis, founded the Abbey of Bassac, Saintonge, 1014 (Vigier de la Pile, Hist. Angoumois, ii. 19). He was succeeded by his nephew Baudran or Baldran, Prince of Jarnac, who had issue, 1. Peter (Gall. Christ, xiv. 151 instr.), ancestor of a powerful line of princes or lords of Jarnac, which became extinct; 2. William Fitz-Baldran, Baron of Monmouth 1086.

Baderon & Huntley in Hope Mansell - Gloucestershire

Collections towards the history and antiquities of the county of ..., Volume 2

 By John Duncumb

PARISH OF HOPE MANSELL.

HOPE MANSELL is bounded on the north by the parish of Westonunder-Penyard; on the west by Walford; on the south by Ruardean; on the east by the township of East Dean, in the County of Gloucester.

This parish is found variously written in ancient documents—as Hope Maloisel, Gloster. Abb. Reg. 1246—Hope Malersell—Maynshall Hope—Hope Meleshull—Hope Malcysell, Epis. Reg. 1457—and Hope Mansell.

The epithet of Hope, a Saxon word signifying a deep valley, accurately describes the position of this parish; and its latter designation is fancifully conjectured to be that of Mai Oisel: the Bird of ill omen. Its vicinity to the wooded Purlieus of the Forest of Dean, may account for the figurative addition.

When England was invaded by the Normans, this parish is supposed to have formed part of the desmesnes of Ralph Earl of Hereford, whose ancestor was displaced by the victors, and his estates bestowed on William FitzOsborn, a near relation of the King. He was succeeded in his Earldom by his youngest son Roger,* surnamed De Bretevil, on whose attainder in A.d. 1073, the honor of Monmouth, (to which Hope Maloysel was an appendage,) was given to Wihenoc or Wythenoc, a noble Norman, who founded a Priory of Benedictine Monks at Monmouth, and made it a cell to the Monastery of St. Florent, at Saumur, from whence he brought Monks to inhabit it. He

» Vol. I. p. 125.

gave them several advowsons with various lands and tithes, and died a Monk in the Monastery he had established.* He was succeeded by his nephew William Fitz-Baderon, whose ancestor was Lord of Monmouth and of this Manor at the time of the Domesday Survey—in which important Record it is thus noticed.

"William Fitz-Baderon holds Hope, Leuric, and Edeulf, held it as for two « manors- There are 4 hides of land taxable. Solomon holds these of William "F. B. In the lordship are two carucates, one villain, and one Borderer "with one carucate and a half. In the reign of King Edward it was worth "40 shillings, and it is of the same value now. The third part of this manor "belongs to the Church of St. Peter, at Gloucester. In the time of King "Edward the Sheriff certified to this statement."

1102. William I., who frequently resided at Gloucester, and celebrated his

Christmas there with great splendour, was a munificent benefactor to its abbey, in which he was lodged. His example was followed by those in attendance upon him, among whom William de Pomeria, a favorite Norman officer, who had obtained large possessions in Devonshire, gave to the monks of St. Peter at Gloucester his village of Bery (now Berry Pomeroy), which his brother Goselin afterwards regained by an exchange for the parish of Shelden, near Collumpton; in lieu of which, a portion of the manor of Hope Maloisel was given to the abbey, (Dug. Baron.} The Abbatial Records state that this arrangement was completed before 1104, by their celebrated abbot, Serlo, who had been chaplain to William, and who is described by the Monkish Historian, as a man "humble to the good, menacing and terrible to the proud :" though the names of the contracting parties are not preserved.

William Fitz-Baderon was living in 1119, and was succeeded by his son Baderon Fitz-William, who augmented the estates of the Priory. He was living in 1128, about which period he married Rohesia, daughter of Gilbert Strongbow, Earl of Pembroke, sister of Richard Strongbow, the Conqueror of Ireland, and was father of Gilbert, James, Walter de Huntley (whose descendants still exist), and Robert. Gilbert de Monmouth died about A.d. 1190, and was succeeded by his son John, who served as Sheriff for Herefordshire in 1231, and died in 1247, having, between the years 1230 and 1240, made further donations to the Priory. By his first wife Cecily, daughter of William Walerand, he left four daughters; and by his second, Agnes de Musgros, he had issue William, who died vita patris; John, who succeeded to the Estates; Richard de Wyesham; and Walter.

John de Monmouth, junior, paid £100 for his relief, and had livery of his lands in 32 Henry III., A.d. 1248. He augmented the revenues of the Priory by further grants of lands, &c.

In 1256, being heavily in debt to the Crown, in consideration of the payment of which by Prince Edward, he conveyed to him his Town and Lordship of Monmouth with the consent of the King, who confirmed it by patent, A.d.

* Wakeman MSS.

1257. This John, Lord of Monmouth, married Maud, daughter of David Earl of Huntington, by whom he had two daughters, Joan and Albreda.—(Claus. Roll, 4:lst Hen. III.) He died in 1274, leaving Katherine his second wife surviving, who had her dower assigned in the next year out of his lands in Herefordshire. Hope Mansel passed, with the Lordship of Monmouth, to Prince Edward, who, on succeeding to the throne, gave it to his brother Edmund Earl of Lancaster, whose second son Henry was Lord of Monmouth, before he became Earl of Lancaster, on the attainder and execution of his eldest brother Thomas in 1321, and did homage and had livery of Monmouth and its appendages, A.d. 1326. His son Henry de Grosmont was the first Duke of Lancaster, and left two daughters — Matilda, married William Duke of Bavaria, and died without issue, seised of Monmouth.—(Inq. post, m., 36 Edw. III.} Her sister and co-heiress Blanch succeeded to these Estates, and married John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, jure uxoris, father of Henry IV., when they merged in the Crown, and were afterwards sold to various purchasers, retaining the privileges appertaining to Duchy Land.*

The Abbey of Gloucester held some part of the Baderon property by the tenure of Grand Serjeantry. In villata de Hope continent' duae hidae quas Abbas de Glocestre tenet de Walteri de Hunteley et Walt' de Hunteley de dno Johanne de Munemue et tenet dictus abbas per serjantiam de honore de Monemue, (Test, de Nev.,) and their estates were increased in this parish, by donations, privileges, and purchases. In A.d. 1246, Roger the Abbot, and Convent of Grace Dieu, sold to the Abbey of Gloucester, in fee, for 15 marks of silver, 18 acres of land in Hope Maloysell, in the tenure of Gilbert Lepiatte; and 18 acres, in the tenure of Gilbert and Julian his son.—(Glouc. Abb. Reg. B., No. 1091, M.S. Prin.) About this period, Thomas Dunn gave to the Abbey all his lands in Hope Maleysell, undertaking, if his wife should survive him, that she should be endowed to an equivalent by his heir out of other lands.— (Ibid. No. 1092, M.S. Prin.)

7th Edward I.—The Abbot of St. P., in Gloucester, was to have his wood 1279. (i. e. the fallage) in Hope Maloysell, infra forestam le Dene, provided it was without injury to the King, or of his forest.—(Pat. 9th Edw. I.; Esch. 9t/i Edw. /., No. 57.)

The Abbot of Gloucester had leave to cut wood in Birchwood and Hope 1324. Maloysell, without demand or view of the Foresters.—(Claiis. Rot. 17th Edw. II., M. 21-2).

12th Edw. III.—The Abbot and Convent of Gloucester having had all 1339. the wood of Hope Maloysell heretofore (they said) in the Purlieu, begged their right to be granted (189).—(Petic in Parlmt., llth Edw. III.)

At what period, and whether by purchase or Royal grant, the Abbot acquired the Lordship of the entire Manor is unknown, but in the return of Lords of Parishes and Townships ordered by the Parliament of Lincoln, 9th Edw. II., for the purpose of raising military levies, the Abbot of Gloucester is stated to be Lord of Hope Maloisel.

i5«. This manor was annexed to the See of Gloucester at its erection, A.d.

1541, when, in a rental of this Bishoprick, it is thus estimated—

Hope Meleshull, Co. Heref. . . . £10. 13». 3d.

This manor with its appurtenances was granted, 32 Henry VIII., to George Baynham, Esq., of Westbury-on-Severn, for twenty-one years, at a yearly rent of £9. 15s. Qd.

1552. In 1552, Edward VI. granted by patent to Hooper, Bishop of Gloucester,

and to his successors for ever, for the maintenance of the said Bishoprick, the
Manors of Hope Maleshul, Dewchurch, and Kilpeck, late belonging to the
Monastery of St. Peter, in Gloucester; with the Parsonages and Churches of
Dewchurch, Kilpeck, Glasbury, Devynnock, Cowarne, and Ewias Harold.—
(Strype, Eccl. Mem. xiv. 35.)

1649. Jn 1649, Hope Mansel being seized by the Parliament, as part of the pos

sessions of the See of Gloucester, was purchased by Robert Thayer, esquire, of Cooper's Hill, in the parish of Brockworth, near Gloucester, an eminent antiquarian and a zealous Royalist, for £130. 16s. 3d. In 1652 the following were the principal persons holding lands in this parish :—

John Nourse, of Woston, esquire; Jeremie Hyett, gentleman; George Thayer, gentleman; John Keyse, of Weeton, the elder; John Keyse, the younger; John How, Richard Blast, Henry Mylls, William Gryndon, James Palmer, Myles Button, gentleman; John Streete, and Barbara Stratford, spinster.

At this date the customs of the manor were considered and set forth in a deed, attested by the Lord and the Copyholders.

The tenure is one of inheritance for one or more lives. Three years' chief rent, the usual fine for a renewal—the lord being also entitled to the best beast for a heriot, except from a tenement called Hallow, for which ten shillings only are demandable in lieu of a heriot; a widow is entitled to her free bench during her life, keeping herself unmarried, and not committing waste to the prejudice of the next heir, paying to the lord one penny for her admittance and her chief rent. The lord is entitled to a heriot on the decease of each widow, but no heriot is due for a forfeiture; and if a tenant commit treason, felony, or murder, then his estate falls to the next heir in blood of him that committeth the offence, and not to the lord.

Courts Baron are held, when the convenience of the suitors require them.

On the return of Charles II., this manor was restored to the Bishops of Gloucester, Mr. Thayer continuing as lessee until 1668, when a new Lease was granted to Mr. John Keyse, whose family had possessed lands in this parish in the 16th century. Mr. Keyse was succeeded, in 1692, by his eldest son Robert^ who dying s. p. in 1720, devised his property to his great-nephew Robert Keyse, a solicitor in Ross, whose only son John having predeceased him unmarried, he bequeathed the estates to John Holder, of Ross, attorneyat-law, who had married Mary, the only surviving child of Robert Keyse. Arms of Keyse, per chevron, gules and sable, 3 keys: 2 and 1 wards upwards. Mr. Holder having no family, left Hope Mansel, in 1801, to his nephew, John Holder, esquire, of Cubberly House, near Ross, who disposed of the manor to Thomas Nixon, esquire, of Bill Mill Lodge, in Weston, in 1805; and his Devisees sold their interest, in 1825, to Thomas Trusted, of Gatsford, in Brampton Abbots, gentleman, from whom it passed by purchase in a few months to John Partridge, esquire, of Bishop's Wood, in Walford, who disposed of it in 1840, to Thomas Holt, esquire, of Gloucester, the present Lord farmer. Arms of Holt — Gules, a chev. betw. 3 fleur de lis, arg. crest, a squirrel, ppr. cracking nuts. Motto: Perseverando. The parish, containing 1173 statute acres, of which about 500 acres are covered with wood, lies on old red sandstone, nearly surrounded by the mountain limestone, (which is raised in considerable quantities and prepared here for agricultural purposes), and abuts upon the coal measures of Dean Forest. The following plants have been found within its limits :— Dianthus Armiria (Deptford Pink), Rubus Idceus (Raspberry), Epilobium Angustifolium (Rose-bay, Willow Herb), Pyrola Minor (Lesser Winter Green), Veronica Buxbaumii (Buxbaum's Speedwell), Polypodium Dryopteris (Oaked Fern), Vacdnium Oxycoccus (the Cranberry).

Lands and woods in this parish were granted by license, from Edw. III. to Richard Talbot, to found the priory of Flanesford, within his desmesnes of Goodrich Castle, in 1346.

A private Act was obtained in 1807, for enclosing certain commonable and waste lands, once called the Abbot's Purlieu, and, since the Reformation, the Bishop's Purlieu, within this Manor and Parish.

The persons stated to be owners, or otherwise interested in these lands, were —

Trusted, John Addis, Mary Jones, Simon Woodhall, Eichard Addis, and George Martin.

The owners of estates exceeding 100 acres, 1854, were — Rev. John Herbert, M.A., Mr. George Jones, Mr. Thomas Bennett, Mr. Thomas Woodhall, and Thomas William Booker, Esq., M.P.

The population, in 1801, was returned as 92; in 1852 it was 189, at which period the inhabited houses were 36. The amount of poor-rates collected in 1852, was £68. 18s.; in 1837, it was £44. 4s. 6d. This parish is within the petty sessional division, polling-district, and poor-law union of Ross, from which town it is distant about five miles.

ECCLESIASTICAL ACCOUNT.

Hope Mansel is a rectory, valued in the king's books at £6. 5s., with glebe worth 13s. 4d. It paid nothing to the taxation of Pope Nicholas, but contributed forty shillings to that of Edw. I., in 1286,...

"A famous spouse of Christ and God's child dear

"In heart prepared for her Lord sleeps here.

"Her waking soul with Christ on high doth reign,

"The dust her body shall restore again.

"All evils which do hang on us she's past,

"From sorrows freed, death was her gain at last.

"O greedy death, thou dost but few such find

"Amongst thy guests in body or in mind.

"Pleasant she was to all, to Saints most sweet,

"Not less belov'd than known so as was meet.

"Her husband's glory, a sweet prudent wife,

"Is fled, alas! 'tis sorrow for our life.

"So worldly joys do perish, great and small,

"To place our joys above God help us all.

"Kind reader thou dost run without delay

"Unto the grave! think on thy dying day."

Walsingham - England's Nazareth

History of Walsingham

England’s Nazareth

Walsingham has been a place of pilgrimage since the Middle Ages — one of the four great shrines of medieval Christendom, ranking alongside Jerusalem, Rome and Santiago da Compostella.

The Vision

In 1061 the lady of the manor, Richeldis de Faverches, had a series of visions of the Virgin Mary, who showed her the house in Nazareth where the angel Gabriel made his revelation of the forthcoming birth of Jesus. Our Lady asked Richeldis to build a replica of the holy house here in Walsingham.
Founded at the time of the Crusades when it was impossible to visit the Holy Land, English Christians were able to visit ‘Nazareth’ in their own country. Walsingham became the premier shrine to Our Lady and around it grew a large monastery.

A medieval marvel

By 1153 the Augustinian Priory of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary was established next to the holy house. And later, around 1347, the Franciscan Friars, under the patronage of Elizabeth de Burgh, Countess of Clare, established a small friary in the village.

During medieval times, Walsingham was visited by thousands of pilgrims from all over Britain and Europe, including nearly all the kings and queens of England from Henry III (c1226), who really put it on the map with twelve visits. Royal visits continued right up to Henry VIII (1511), who came twice.

Packed with pilgrims

The entire medieval village was dominated by ecclesiastical buildings and fine medieval timber-framed jetted buildings — still visible today — that provided hostelries and shops serving the pilgrims who poured into the village. Walsingham’s highly unusual grid pattern of streets is a direct result of this, an early example of a planning system, for a village catering principally for visitors. Around 1252 a charter was granted to hold a weekly market and an annual fair.
By the fourteenth century, so many pilgrims were visiting the shrine that the priory was enlarged and the little wooden holy house was encased in a larger stone chapel. Only the vast East Window of the priory remains to give us some idea of its scale and magnificence.

The effect of the Reformation

Then came the Reformation in 1538. Walsingham’s principal trade came to an abrupt end. The priory and the friary were dissolved and all property handed over to the King’s Commissioners. The famous statue of Our Lady of Walsingham was taken to London to be publicly burnt. Nothing today remains of the original shrine but the site is marked on the lawn in the Abbey grounds.
Walsingham evolves Walsingham changed course. It became a flourishing market town and legal centre, with quarter sessions held in the Shirehall until 1861 and petty sessions until 1971. Originally a hostelry and part of the Augustian Priory, the Shirehall was adapted into a fine example of Georgian architecture. It is now a museum.
During the same period many of the older timber-framed houses were re-fronted with Georgian facades.

Model prison

In 1787 a John Howard ‘model’ prison was built for eight prisoners, replacing an existing Elizabethan House of Correction. The prison was enlarged in 1822 and five tread wheels were added in 1823. The prison was closed in 1861.

The railway arrives

In the late 1800s, a branch line of the GER railway was built to cater for Walsingham and Wells-next-the-Sea, at a cost of £70,000. It opened in December 1857 and remained until October 1964, falling victim to Beeching’s savage rail cuts.

Pilgrimage awakened

The pilgrimage revival began in the late 19th century, with the first modern pilgrimage taking place on 20th August 1897 to the Slipper Chapel, a mile outside the village in Houghton St Giles. This is now the Roman Catholic National Shrine of Our Lady.
In 1921 Fr Alfred Hope Patten was appointed vicar of Walsingham. He was determined to re-establish Walsingham as a shrine to Our Lady and set up a statue of her in the parish church of St Mary. By the early 1930s, Fr Patten had built a new shrine containing a modern Holy House, just outside the Priory walls.
Pilgrimages increased in popularity throughout the 20th century. Today Walsingham is one of the most significant spiritual places in the country, visited each year by around 350,000 pilgrims of all ages and backgrounds.
The wheel has come full circle.

In medieval times, Walsingham was one of the most important pilgrimage sites in the world to the Blessed Virgin Mary and a rival to even Rome.In the year 1061, Lady Richeldis, owner of Walsingham manor, had a vision in which she was taken by the Virgin Mary and shown the house in Nazareth where Gabriel had announced the news of the birth of Jesus. The Virgin Mary asked her to build a replica of the house in Walsingham. It was a simple wooden structure and some years later, a priory was built around the house. This became a place of pilgrimage - England's Nazareth - even drawing Kings, unfortunately including Henry VIII, who brought about its destruction in 1538. The priory was wrecked and the Walsingham Madonna was taken to London and burned. Walsingham remained in ruins for almost 300 years.

The Priory of Walsingham

A priory of Augustinian canons was established on the site in 1153, a few miles from the sea in the northern part of Norfolk and it grew in importance over the following centuries. Founded in the time of Edward the Confessor, the Chapel of Our Lady of Walsingham was confirmed to the Augustinian Canons a century later and enclosed within the Priory. From the first, the Shrine of Our Lady was a famous place of pilgrimage and the faithful came from all parts of England and the Continent until the destruction of the Priory by King Henry VIII in 1538. To this day the main road of the pilgrims through Newmarket, Brandon and Fakenham is still called the Palmers' (Pilgrims') Way.

Many were the gifts of lands, rents and churches to the canons of Walsingham and many were the miracles sought and claimed at the shrine. Several English kings visited the shrine, including Henry III (1231 or 1241), Edward I (1289 and 1296), Edward II in 1315, Edward III in 1361, Henry VI in 1455, Henry VII in 1487 and finally Henry VIII, who was later responsible for its destruction when the shrine and abbey perished in the Dissolution of the Monasteries. Erasmus, in fulfilment of a vow, made a pilgrimage from Cambridge in 1511 and left as his offering a set of Greek verses expressive of his piety. Thirteen years later he wrote his colloquy on pilgrimages, wherein the wealth and magnificence of Walsingham are set forth and some of the reputed miracles rationalised. Two of Henry VIII's wives Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn made pilgrimages to the shrine.

In 1537 while the last Prior, Richard Vowell, was paying obsequious respect to Thomas Cromwell, the Sub-Prior, Nicholas Milcham, was charged with conspiring to rebel against the suppression of the lesser monasteries and, on flimsy evidence, was convicted of high treason and hanged outside the Priory walls. In July 1538, Prior Vowell assented to the destruction of Walsingham Priory and assisted the king's commissioners in the removal of the figure of Our Lady and many of the gold and silver ornaments and in the general spoliation of the shrine. For his ready compliance the Prior received a pension of 100 pounds a year, a large sum in those days, while 15 of the canons received pensions varying from four to six pounds. With the shrine dismantled and the priory destroyed, the site was sold by order of Henry VIII to Thomas Sidney for 90 pounds and a private mansion was subsequently erected on the spot. Eleven people, including the Sub-Prior of the Abbey, were hanged, drawn and quartered. Gold and silver from the shrine was taken to London along with the statue of Mary and Jesus which was later burnt.

The fall of the monastery gave rise to the anonymous Elizabethan ballad, 'The Walsingham Lament', on what the Norfolk people felt at the loss of their glorious Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham. The ballad includes the lines:

Weep Weep O Walsingam,

Whose dayes are nights,

Blessings turned to blasphemies,

Holy deeds to despites
Sinne is where our Ladye sate,

Heaven turned is to helle;

Satan sitthe where our Lord did swaye,

Walsingham O farewell!
