Richard Bampfield, Sheriff of Devon

Richard Bampfield (1526–1594) of Poltimore and Bampfylde House in Exeter, both in Devon, was Sheriff of Devon in 1576. He began construction of the Tudor era Poltimore House in 1550, and completed the building of Bampfylde House, Exeter, along with The Great House, Bristol one of the finest Elizabethan townhouses in the West Country, in 1590. He is the ancestor of the Bampfylde Baronets and Barons Poltimore.
Origins
He was the eldest son and heir of Sir Edward Bampfield (died 1528) of Poltimore by his wife Elizabeth Wadham, the widow of John Warre of Chipleigh (see Chipley Park, Somerset), second son of Sir Richard Warre of Hestercombe, and a daughter of Sir Nicholas Wadham (died 1542) of Merryfield, Ilton in Somerset and of Edge, Branscombe in Devon.[1] The Bampfield family had been seated at Poltimore since the 13th century.
Career
Bampfield's father died when he was two years of age, and the 18th-century genealogist Thomas Wotton related this tradition about his childhood:[2][a]

• ...he became a prey to some great person, who carried him into a distant country, and bred him up in the drudgery of the family, concealing from him his quality and estate, and at last made him his huntsman; but one of his tenants, (being his nurse's husband,) discovering where he was detained, made him acquainted with his fortune; the truth of which he convinced him of, by a remarkable mole which he had in his back, and brought him away privately to Brimpton (the seat of John Sydenham, Esq; who assisted him in his return to Poltimore, and soon after gave him his daughter in marriage.) In confirmation of which, he lieth at length with a hound at his feet, under a monument in Poltimore church...

However, the editor of the 1771 edition of Wotton's genealogy added "Having received no account from the family, concerning this particular, I do not presume to give it as authentic." [5]
Marriage and children
He married Elizabeth Sydenham (died 1599), daughter of Sir John Sydenham of Brympton d'Evercy, Somerset,[6] by his wife Ursula Brydges,[7] a daughter of Sir Giles Brydges (c. 1462 – 1511) of Coberley, Gloucestershire, and sister of John Brydges, 1st Baron Chandos (1492–1557). Her niece Elizabeth Sydenham was the wife of Admiral Sir Francis Drake (c. 1540 – 1596).[8] By his wife he had three sons and nine daughters as follows:
Sons

• Giles Bampfield, eldest son and heir apparent, who died childless during his father's lifetime on a voyage to Ireland.[1]
• Sir Amyas Bampfylde (1564–1626), second and eldest surviving son and heir, of Poltimore and North Molton, Devon. He was Member of Parliament for Devon in 1597, Sheriff of Devon from 1603 to 1604 and a Deputy Lieutenant in 1616.[9] In 1576 he married Elizabeth Clifton, daughter of Sir John Clifton of Barrington Court, Somerset. His monument and effigy survive in North Molton Church. He is the ancestor of the Bampfylde Baronets and Barons Poltimore.
• Richard Bampfield, third son.[1]

• Ursula Bampfield, third daughter, wife of Sir Thomas Fulford (1553–1610) of Great Fulford, Dunsford, Devon. Her effigy with that of her husband survive in Dunsford Church. They were the parents of Sir Francis Fulford.

She is depicted on her husband's surviving mural monument in Monkleigh Church, Devon, etched as a kneeling lady with four kneeling girls behind, on a slate tablet inscribed:
  • Henry Hurdinge of Longe Breedy in Couy. Dorset, Esqr was buried here the 28-day of Febr. 1627 who had by Gartrude Bampfyld his first wife 2 daughters. By Eliza Snowe his 2 wife, 2 sonns 2 daughters.

    • "Hence is brought home to bliss that God hath wrou(ght)"
• Anna Bampfield, seventh daughter, wife firstly of Christopher Morgan of Maperton, Berkshire, secondly a member of the Luttrell family.[1]
• Katherin Bampfield, eighth daughter, unmarried.[1]
• Margaret Bampfield, ninth daughter, wife of William Lacy of Hartrow, Somerset.[1]

It comprises two recumbent stone effigies, of Richard Bampfield and his wife, under a low canopy supported by arched openings and columns.[16] A view of the monument is obstructed by pews in front and by the balcony above forming the manorial pew of the Bampfield family. The 8 painted escutcheons on the cornice depict the arms of 5 of his 8 sons-in-law, each impaling Bampfield, and the 3 sons-in-law of his son and heir Sir Amias Bampfylde, each impaling Bampfield.

• Sir Amyas Bampfylde (or "Amias Bampfield" etc.[1]) (1560 – 9 February 1626) was an English Member of Parliament who sat in the House of Commons in 1597.
• Bampfylde was the son of Richard Bampfylde of Poltimore in Devon and Bampfylde House in Exeter by his wife Elizabeth Sydenham, daughter of Sir John Sydenham of Brympton d'Evercy, Somerset.[2]
• He matriculated at Exeter College, Oxford on 3 December 1575, aged 15. He studied law at the Middle Temple in 1576.[3] He succeeded to the manor of Poltimore on the death of his father in 1594. He was J.P. for Devon from 1596. In 1597, he was elected Member of Parliament for Devon. He was knighted at Windsor on 9 July 1603. He was High Sheriff of Devon from 1603 to 1604. In 1616 he was Deputy Lieutenant.[2]
• Bampfylde married Elizabeth Clifton, daughter of Sir John Clifton of Barrington Court, Somerset in 1576. The Bampfylde monument in South Molton Church shows the arms of Bampfylde impaling Clifton: Argent, semee of cinquefoils pierced a lion rampant gules. They had six sons and two daughters. In 1602 Bampfylde and Thomas Drake, brother and heir of Sir Francis Drake, made a double marriage settlement for his son John Bampfylde aged 14 and a daughter, aged 16, who were to marry Drake’s daughter and son with each parent settling £660 on the other’s daughter.[2]
• Bampfield died at the age of about 65 and stated in his will his wish to be "buried in South Molton church with his parents".[2][4]
• A fine stone monument to his memory exists against the south wall of the south aisle chapel ("Bampfylde Chapel") in North Molton Church. On the wall to its right is affixed a stone tablet inscribed with the following lines:
  • "Stand passenger gaze such was he
  • As thou tremble such shalt thou be
  • He dy'd to live so live to dye
  • Depart muse on eternity"
• Ameae Bamfylde equiti aurato patri suo charissimo ex antiqua Bamfydeorum (sic) de Poltimore familia patre Richardo Bamfyde (sic) armigero matre Elizabetha Clifton de Barrington per 45 annos conjugato ex qua 12 filios 5 filias suscepit prudenti sed pio animoso sed affabili provido sed hospitali et benigno de suis de patria bene merito ex hac miseriarum valle anno aetatis suae 67 ad immortalitatem commigranti et sui reliquias his in terris quas post diuturna litigia et graves expensas sui posteritati foeliciter recuperavit in spem resurrectionis requiescere volenti Johannes Bamfylde filius et haeres qui etiam ex Elizabeth Drake de Buckland 8 filios et 7 filias ante patris obitum habuit anno Christi 1626 regis Caroli 2 hoc monumentum pietatis ergo posuit quas terras mea cura meis non parva redemit hae mea jure sinu molliter ossa fovent.
• Translated literally into English thus:
• "To Amyas Bampfylde, knight bachelor, most dear to his father, from the ancient family of the Bampfyldes of Poltimore from Richard Bampfylde, esquire, his father, from Elizabeth Sydenham of Brympton his mother; with Elizabeth Clifton of Barrington having been married during 45 years from whom he received 12 sons, 5 daughters. Prudent but with a pious spirit but easily spoken to; forward-looking but hospitable and benign, well-merited from his country. From this vale of miseries he migrated towards immortality in the 67th year of his age and having wished the remains of him to rest in hope of resurrection in these lands which after long-lasting dispute and heavy expenses happily he regained for his posterity. John Bampfylde his son and heir, who also from Elizabeth Drake of Buckland had before the decease of his father 8 sons and 7 daughters, in the year of Christ 1626, 2nd. of King Charles, therefore of piety placed this monument that these bones might gently warm the lands he redeemed not with small care".
• There is a monument in Exeter Cathedral to his married daughter Dorothy Bampfield, daughter of Sir Amyas Bampfield, formerly wife of Edward Hancock (d.1603), MP, of Combe Martin, later wife of Sir John Doddridge (1555–1628), Justice of the King's Bench. The Latin inscription on a tablet within a strapwork surround is as follows: "Hic jacet d(omi)na Dorothea uxor Johannis Dioderidge militis unius justiciarioru(m) d(omi)ni regis as placita coram rege tenenda assignati et filia Amisii Bampfield militis quae obiit primo Martii Anno Dom(ini) 1614" ("Here lies Dorothy the wife of John Doderidge, knight, one of the Justices of the Lord King assigned at the Pleas held before the King, and daughter of Amisus (Latinised form) Bampfield, knight, who died on the first of March in the Year of Our Lord 1614")

This youthful heir also died young, but added much to the fortunes of the family by his marriage with Joan, daughter and heir of John de Hocesham, through which alliance his posterity acquired the adjacent manor of Huxham,1 which is still the property of Lord Poltimore. His widow, Joan, presented to Poltimore Rectory, as "relict of John Baunfeld," and by right of her dowry, 4th January, 1372-73. Her eldest son, Thomas "Bampfeld," presented to Poltimore 24th September, 1404, and to Huxham, as " true patron," 3rd February in the same year.2 He married Agnes, daughter and co-heir of John Faber of Bovey Tracy, and was the grandfather of John Bamfield of Poltimore, who by his wife Agnes, daughter and heir of John Pederton, by Cecilia, daughter and heir of John Turney, was the father of Sir William Bamfield, son and heir of Poltimore. This John and his wife rebuilt the Parish Church of Poltimore, as shown by an inscription on a gravestone which was, some years since, removed from the nave to the chancel, and which bears the following inscription : . . . .
• Their son, Sir William Bamfield,3 was sheriff of Devon in 1426, and died in 1474. The Manor of Huxham appears to have been settled upon his second son William Bamfield, *http://www.archive.org/stream/devonshirewillsc00wortiala#page/481/m...
• who may have acquired the Pinhoe property, mentioned in the mortgage above noted, by his second marriage with Margaret Kirkham, widow of John Cheyney, of Pinhoe ; he succeeded his elder brother Walter "Bamfield," at Poltimore, 1st Sept., 1478, and was the father, by his first wife Margaret St. Maur, of Sir Edward Bamfield of Poltimore, who married Elizabeth Wadham, and died in 1528. His son and heir, Richard Bamfeild, who was an only child and but two years of age at his father's death, was, presumably, the hero of a sensational story which has been handed down to us by John Prince, the author of the "Worthies of Devon," published in 1701, and which he tells us is "a most memorable passage of undoubted credit," and to the effect that "one of the heirs of the house, not many generations back," being ward to "some very great person in the east country," was taken away in his infancy, and brought up in ignorance of his real position and prospects. He was trained to be a servant, and, when discovered by one of his late father's tenantry, was employed as huntsman in his said guardian's establishment. The Poltimore farmer is then said to have abducted him, to have taken him before the proper authorities, and to have duly established the right of his young landlord to his inheritance.
• This Richard Bamfeild, at the age of fifty, became Sheriff of Devon in the eighteenth year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth. His mother, a widow, at the time of her second marriage, was a daughter of Nicholas Wadham, of Merrifield, co. Somerset, and his wife was a daughter of Sir John Sydenham of the same county ; by her he had a family of twelve children, viz., nine daughters and three sons. The eldest of the latter, Giles, predeceased him, having been drowned during his passage to Ireland, so he was succeeded in 1594 by his second son, Amias, then over thirty years of age, who was Sheriff of the county in 1603, and was knighted that same year at Windsor.* He married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir John Clifton, of Barrington, Somerset, and had ten children ; one of *http://www.archive.org/stream/devonshirewillsc00wortiala#page/482/m...
• his daughters married the nephew of the great Sir Francis Drake, who was created a baronet in 1622, and whose sister, Elizabeth, was the wife of his eldest son and successor, John Bamfeild, of Poltimore, who was born about 1590. The latter also had a large family, fifteen children ; one of the daughters, Dorothy, was the wife of Henry Worth, of Worth. The sixth son, Francis, was a Nonconformist minister, and died in Newgate Gaol in the spring of 1604 ; the eighth son, Thomas Bampfield, was Recorder of Exeter during the Usurpation, and member for Exeter in 1656. The third son, John Bamfield, was created a baronet 14th July, 1641, and through the deaths of his two elder brothers, Amias and Arthur, succeeded to Poltimore at his father's death, and married Gertrude, sister and co-heir of John Coplestone, of Warleigh. During the great rebellion this first baronet was active on the side of the Parliament, and Poltimore House was garrisoned by Fairfax in 1645 ; its owner died in 1650, aged forty, when he was succeeded by his son, Sir Coplestone Bampfield, the eldest of a family of nineteen, and who was as zealous for the Restoration of monarchy as his sire had been for its overthrow, and who was duly "pricked " Sheriff of Devon as soon as the king "came home again." He was, however, equally zealous in his promotion of the Revolution, being actuated, as evidently as his father had been, by perfectly conscientious motives, and on his death-bed he called his family around him, and impressed upon them the necessity of an invariable adherence to the "religion of the Established Church of England, and of allegiance to the right heirs of the Crown." He experienced a great domestic bereavement shortly before his demise, through a melancholy and fatal accident of which his eldest and promising son was the victim. This son, Colonel Hugh Bampfield, who commanded the county militia, was returning from a wedding, when his horse tripped whilst descending a hill near Plymouth, and the young rider's neck was broken. He left a widow, Mary, daughter of James Clifford, of Ware, who administered to the will of her father-in-law in the minority of her eldest son, Coplestone Warwick Bampfield, who succeeded as third baronet in 1692, and also, by devise, to the estates of his far away kinsman, Warwick Bampfield, of Hardington, . . . .

• The building of the current POLTIMORE HOUSE on this site started in the 1550s, long years after the first mention of the manor of Poltimore in the Domesday Survey of 1086.
• By the time Richard Bampfylde began building his Tudor mansion, the estate had been held by Bampfyldes for more than three centuries - after John Bampfylde was bequeathed it by a Canon of Exeter Cathedral in 1298.
• That first great house can still be seen at Poltimore today - the three-gabled north front, the fine Tudor staircase tower in the corner of the central courtyard. Attic windows and fragments of Tudor fireplaces are still visible - in some cases revealed as a result of its damaged condition today.
• When Richard Bampfylde died in 1594 his will describes the house and its fittings, and mentions 'the Parlor Chamber the Sollar Chamber the hall Chamber and the Chamber over the Kitchen.'
• Still there at Poltimore, though covered over with more recent changes, the locations of these key rooms of a Tudor house can still be identified.
• Successive generations of Bampfyldes built, rebuilt and added to the house. In 1646 the end of Civil War in the south west was negotiated at Poltimore, and the Treaty of Exeter was signed in the Great Hall at Poltimore - in the fine east-facing room re-modelled in about 1740 as the Saloon.
• As described in Jocelyn Hemming's A Devon House, the story of Poltimore (2005),
• 'For over six centuries the Bampfylde family lived at Poltimore, and every hundred years or so, successive generations pulled down and rebuilt or extended the mansion and modernised their estate.'
• The remarkable building history of the house closes once Augustus Bampfylde, the second Baron Poltimore completed the addition of the outer west wing in 1908, housing new comfortable rooms and the grand ballroom.
• But by 1921, following the death of the third Baron Poltimore in 1918, the house was surplus to the family's needs, and it was put up for auction.
• Failing to sell, it was taken over by a girls' school which renamed itself Poltimore College after its new home. And when Poltimore College finally closed in 1939, the boys of Dover College moved in, evacuated to the comparative safety of Devon from their front-line position in Kent.
• In 1945 it was eventually bought by two Exeter doctors who recognised the urgent need for new hospital bedspaces, and for a maternity hospital to cope with the post-war baby boom.
• In 1962 it became the property of the South West Regional Hospital Board, as part of the National Health Service, who, until 1976 when it was sold, and the estate yet further dismembered, leaving only 13 acres of grounds with the house today.
• From 1976 to 2000 this great building, sorely in need of care, repair and security, had none of that. Passing from owner to owner, with many fine elements of the house stolen, water coming through the leaky roof and an arson attack in the west wing, Poltimore House in 2000 was a sorry sight.
• The Poltimore House Trust was formed in May 2000, with support from East Devon District Council, and a remit to restore and return the house to the people of Devon. In 2003 Poltimore House featured on the Restoration programme, and many people understood for the first time what a predicament faced the Trust.
• By 2005 a new scaffold and massive protective roof had been erected, under which the house is safe and dry for the first time in near 30 years.
• And, in 2009, English Heritage, which has never lost interest in Poltimore, has awarded a grant of £500,000 to the Poltimore House Trust, to start the long process of repair.

Cary family
The Cary family (also Carey) is an English aristocratic family with a branch in Ireland. The earliest known ancestor of the family is Sir Adam de Kari who was living in 1198.[2] Sir John Cary (died 1395) purchased the Manor of Clovelly in the 14th century[3] and established the family's status as members of the landed gentry. Various branches of the family were ennobled in the late 16th and early 17th centuries as Baron Hunsdon and Viscount Falkland.
Origins
etc.
Robert Cary (died 1586) of Clovelly, 4th son of his father, by his 3rd wife. He was given Clovelly by his father.[20] He was the first Cary to be seated exclusively at Clovelly, the manors of Cary and Cockington having been inherited by his half-brothers. He was Member of Parliament for Barnstaple, Devon, in October 1553 and served as Sheriff of Devon in 1555–56. He served as Recorder of Barnstaple after 1560.[21] He was a magistrate and along with several other members of the Devonshire gentry then serving as magistrates he died of gaol fever at the Black Assize of Exeter 1586. He married Margaret Milliton, daughter of John Milliton and widow of John Giffard of Yeo in the parish of Alwington, North Devon. His large monument, with strapwork decoration, survives against the south wall of the chancel of All Saints Church, Clovelly. Along the full length of the cornice is inscribed in gilt capitals: Robertus Carius, Armiger, obiit An(no) Do(mini) 1586[22] ("Robert Cary, Esquire, died in the year of Our Lord 1586"). On the base of the north side are shown two relief sculpted heraldic escutcheons, showing Cary impaling Chequy argent and sable, a fess vairy argent and gules[23] (Fulkeram, for his father) and Cary impaling Sable, three swords pilewise points in base proper pomels and hilts or (Poulett, for his grandfather). On the base of the west side is a similar escutcheon showing his own arms of Cary (of four quarters, 1st: Cary; 2nd: Or, three piles in point azure (Bryan);[24] 3rd: Gules, a fess between three crescents argent (Holleway);[25] 4th: A chevron (unknown, possibly Hankford: Sable, a chevron barry nebuly argent and gules[26]%29 impaling Gules, a chevron or between three millets hauriant argent (Milliton[27])
George Cary (1543–1601), eldest son and heir of Robert Cary (died 1586), was Sheriff of Devon in 1587. He constructed at Clovelly a harbour wall, surviving today, described by Risdon as "a pile to resist the inrushing of the sea's violent breach, that ships and boats may with the more safety harbour there".[28] Clovelly's main export product was herring fish, which formerly appeared at certain times of the year in huge shoals, close off-shore in the shallow waters of the Bristol Channel, and such a harbour wall was a great benefit to the village fishermen, tenants of the Cary lords of the manor. He married three times:

• Firstly to Christiana Stretchley, daughter and heiress of William Stretchley of Ermington in Devon and widow of Sir Christopher Chudleigh (1528–1570)[29] of Ashton, by whom he had issue including:
  • William Cary (1576–1652) of Clovelly, JP, eldest son and heir.
• Secondly to Elizabeth Bampfield, eldest daughter of Richard Bampfield (1526–1594) of Poltimore, Devon, Sheriff of Devon in 1576;[30] without issue.
• Thirdly in 1586 to Catherine Russell (died 1632), of Sussex, by whom he had 3 sons and 3 daughters.

William Cary (1576–1652), son and heir of George Cary (1543-1601), was Justice of the Peace for Devon, MP for Mitchell, Cornwall, in 1604,[31] eldest son and heir by his father's first wife. He is sometimes said to be the model for Will Cary featured in Westward Ho!,[32] the 1855 novel by Charles Kingsley (1819–1875), who appears in the narrative concerning the Spanish Armada in 1588, although he would have been a boy aged just 12 at the time. However the "daring foreign exploits attributed to him are entirely fictional".[31] Kingsley spent much of his childhood at Clovelly as his father was Rev. Charles Kingsley, Curate of Clovelly 1826-1832 and Rector 1832-1836. Indeed the author's small brass monumental tablet is affixed to the wall of the church under the mural monument of Sir Robert Cary (1610–1675), eldest son of William Cary (1576–1652).[32]
He married three times:

nument of his munificence, till it was stolen. On his return to his native country he found it in anarchy and confusion; but his vigorous soul being actuated with principles of loyalty to his sovereign, though an exile, and of duty to the church, then under a cloud, he exerted himself with several other persons, for the restoration of both. His zeal at last rendered him suspected by those in power; so that he was obliged to conceal himself at Trill, one of the houses of his friend, John Drake, Esq. afterwards Sir John Drake, Knt. and Bart. by which means he escaped the hands of those messengers that were sent to apprehend him. However, at the general quarter sessions at Exeter, this gentleman, with several persons of rank, in the county of Devon, put themselves in arms, declaring for a free parliament; and agreed upon a remonstrance for that purpose, which was presented to the house by this gentleman's uncle, Thomas Bampfylde, Esq. then recorder of that city; which remonstrance became a precedent to many other towns and cities in England.
After this, when our most noble countryman, General Monk, was come into England, with his army, the county of Devon, together with the city of Exon, joined in a petition of right to his excellency, and it was agreed that it should be presented by the hands of Sir Coplestone Bampfylde, for which, what entertainment he met withal from the rump, you may take in my author own words.*

'Bampfylde1'
Families covered: Bampfield of Hardington, Bampfield (Bamfield or Bampfylde) of Poltimore
(1) Westcote spells the family name as "Bampfield" whilst Vivian uses 'Bamfield" or "Bamfeild" then "Bampfield" with "Bampfylde" being used for the first time with the 1st Lord. Wotton mostly uses "Baumfilde" then "Bampfylde". We use Bampfylde for the page title as that is what is used in BP1934 (Poltimore).
(2) BP1934 reports that the manor of Poltimore has been possessed by this family since the reign of Edward I (who r. 1272-1307) but, other than mentioning John (m. Eleanor Beauchamp), starts its pedigree with the Amias shown at the top of Bampfylde2.
(3) There has been some confusion with & between the early generations of this family. We show what is reported by Vivian but report also what is shown by the other Main Sources.
John Baunfeld or Baumfilde (a temp John who r. 1199-1216) mentioned by Vivian (named) & Wotton (unnamed)
m. Joan Hastings (dau of John Hastings)
Wotton inserts 2 extra generations here: an unnamed Baumfilde who married the de Hockisham heiress (presumably the Hoxham/Huxham heiress shown by Vivian/Westcote as some generations later) then John Baumfilde of Poltimore (temp Edward I) who m. Isabel, dau of John Faber (presumably the Faber connection shown by Vivian/Westcote as some generations later).

Wotton & Westcote also show a Johanna/Joan in the next generation but do not show her as having married. [Vivian also shows another Joane (dau of John) of 4 generations later as m. Hugh Gifford (see ## on Bampfylde2).] In his work on 'Giffard of Halsbury' (p400) Vivian identifies the wife of Hugh Giffard of St. Giles as "Joane da. of John Bamfeild of Poltimore, relict of Richard Pollard of Horwood". That Hugh must have been born c1530 and so his wife, who bore him (at least) 4 children, is shown as this Joan even though her father was called Edward.
