The Winters were Roman Catholics since at least the lifetime of Sir John Winter [Cal. SP. Dom. 1637-8, 74, 1639, 427, Glos RO. Q/50 4, p.515] if not before and held 5 manors and other estates in the Bledisloe Hundred of Gloucestershire.

Sir William died on 21.2.1589 as the result of a wound received by a gun recoiling during the Battle against the Spanish Armada in 1588.
His Will (323 Leicester) reads:
"The Will of Admiral Sir William Winter, 2nd son of John Winter of Whitecross House, Lydney dated 1st February 1589. I desire to be buried in the chapel which I lately made in Lidney church. To my son William I bequeath half the goods in my house in London and 150 oz. of silver plate, also oxen, clothes and Milan corselet, 6 bows, 12 sheaves of arrows and crossbows.
.....
Nothing more is known of Jane. Elizabeth married Thomas Morgan of Machen, Monmouthshire and Eleanor married Sir George Huntley of Woodchester, Gloucestershire, 2nd Marquis. Her cousin Mary Winter of Dyrham married Anselm Huntley. ("Notes on Bristol Wills" in Council House at Bristol - Wardley 1886 p. 276).
........
The manor house in 1601 was "The Boyce". Humphrey Forster (b. 1554) and his wife Martha possessed the manor of Boyce, Dymock by descent and he became lord of the manor after Robert Devereaux, 2nd earl of Essex (who had held it since about 1582) was executed in 1601. It was then held by Giles Forster (b. 1588) described as a schoolmaster, who with one or more of his children, headed the military list of 1608 Dymock men.

Part of the manor of Boxwell, Gloucestershire belonged to the Huntley family and the other to St. Peter's Abbey, Gloucester. When Elizabeth I granted the abbot's half to Sir Walter Raleigh, he sold it to John Huntley. A descendant, Martin Huntley, was a captain in Prince Rupert's Horse and the Prince often visited him. In September 1651 after the battle of Worcester, Charles II escorted by Colonel Lake, was taken to Boxwell and a part of the garden is known as the King's Walk.
Frocester, Gloucester also belonged to St. Peter's Abbey, Gloucester and was subsequently in the possession of Sir George Huntley who rebuilt the court house in 1554 and received Elizabeth I there in 1574.
According to the Gloucestershire historian Nash, the family of Reade or Rede of Mitton, Bredon were of considerable note in Gloucestershire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire, claiming descent from William Rede of Gloucester. They acquired property in Gloucestershire through marriage with one of the heiresses of the Lords Beauchamp of Powick. However according to Harleian MSS 1545 the Reads of Mitton descended from this William's second marriage with the daughter of Brydges. The quartered arms of Reed impaling Brydges were in Mitton chapel and they did not inherit Beauchamp blood except through Greville.
The mother of Catherine (wife of Giles Reed of Mitton) was daughter and co-heiress of Robert Willoughby, Lord Brooke by Elizabeth, daughter and co-heiress of Richard, Lord Beauchamp.
Giles Reed of Mitton, son of William Reed and grandson of the aforesaid William by his second wife, was High Sheriff of the county in 29th Elizabeth (1587). He married Catherine, daughter of Sir Fulke Greville and his son John Reed of Mitton who married Jane, daughter and coheiress of Sir George Huntley of Frocester, knight. She died in 1630 and her daughter Eleanor afterwards married Richard Reed of Lugwardine, Hereford. [Grazebrook p.459].
The Reeds and the Winters were connected in other ways.
George Winter, Clerk of the Ships inquisition post mortem (1582) at Gloucestershire - William Reade present [Calendar of Patent Rolls Elizabeth I, Vol. 9 Nos. 1407, 1822].
Sir Richard Reade terminated Elizabeth Winter's lease of the manor of Redbourne, Hertfordshire in 1568 [Calendar of Patent Rolls, Elizabeth I, Vol 4 No. 1821]. She had held it for 21 years since 5.5.1559 at a rent of £15.6s.8d from 5.5.1559. [Calendar of Patent Rolls Elizabeth I, Vol. I No. 108}]. This manor was later sold to Nicholas Bacon, whose son Frances was friend of Thomas Winter of Huddington, the Gunpowder Plotter. Elizabeth Winter was probably sister of Sir William Winter’s daughter Eleanor who married Sir George Huntley (d. 23.9.1622), knight of Frocester.
Cardiff in the Tewkesbury Hundred of Walton, Gloucestershire was granted in 1553 to William Read, then to Giles (1608) and subsequently to John, Edward and Fulke Read (1611). Edward Read sold it to Sir Baptist Hicks in 1614. The manor of Beverston, 2-3 miles from Tetbury, was sold by the Poyntz to the Hicks family. Sir Baptist Hicks built Market House in Chipping Campden in 1624.
The church of St. Mary, Cheltenham, the rectory and the chapel of Charlton Kings were leased by Elizabeth I to Francis Bacon, Lord Verulam, to support two priests and two deacons to celebrate religious services there. The property came to Sir Baptist Hicks, who granted the presentation to Jesus College, Oxford on the condition that a Fellow of the College should always be nominated and remain unmarried.
