174 SOME ACCOUNT OF THE FAMILY OF LOWE. 
must have been solemnized prior to 1455, for there is a deed 
of partition, dated in that year, whereby certain lands of 
William Mylton are divided between John Massey and 
Margaret his wife, Ralph Browne and Elena his wife, and 
Lawrence Lowe and Alice his wife; the said Margaret, Elena, 
and Alice, being the three daughters and coheiresses of the 
said William Mylton. Lawrence Lowe was living in 1484, 
when a covenant was entered into on the feast day of St. 
Clement (November the 23rd), in that year, between Henry 
Kent, Vicar of Horsley, with the consent of Richard, Prior 
of Lenton, and Lawrence Lowe, of Denby, to have a priest to— 
say daily mass in the chapel of the Blessed Virgin, at Denby; 
but he was dead in 1491, when Alice, his second wife (who 
herself died the year following), is described as a widow. 
Humphrey Lowe, Esq,, of Denby, the eldest son of Lawrence 
Lowe, was living in 1516. He was married prior to 1462, to 
Margaret, daughter and heiress of John Linstone,* and by her 
was father of Clement Lowe, Esq., who married Isabella, daughter 
and co heiress of John Strelley, Esq., of Strelley, in the County 
of Nottingham (by Saunchia, daughter of Sir Richard Willoughby, 
of Wollaton, in the same county), and had an only daughter 
and heiress, Mary, who became the wife of William Sacheverell, — 
Esq., of Stanton-by-bridge (second son of Sir Henry Sacheverell, 
of Morley, Knight); and from this match the Sacheverells of 
Barton, in Nottinghamshire, were descended. The Denby 
estate, however, devolved upon Vincent Lowe, the second son 
of Humphrey Lowe, and continued with his descendants. 
but it is remarkable that his posterity should have quartered the arms of 
Rossell and a/so those of Mylton; and such an arrangement, though apparently 
quite incorrect, was officially recognised by St. George in the Visitation of 
1612. In his pedigree (vide Harl. MSS. 1093) Alice Mylton is given as the 
mother of Lawrence Lowe’s heir, whilst the match with the heiress of Rossell 
is altogether ignored. But the pedigree abounds in errors, not the least of 
which is that Anthony Lowe, of Alderwasley, the husband of Bridget Fogge, 
is stated to have been the second son of Vincent Lowe, of Denby, and the 
great-grandson of Lawrence Lowe. The remarkable coat of arms upon 
Anthony Lowe’s tomb in Wirksworth Church, already described, may possibly 
have originated this mistake. 
* There is a charter, dated in 1462, whereby Humphrey Lowe, and 
Margaret, his wife, united with Lawrence Lowe, his father, in granting certain 
lands in the meadows of Clifton to John Cokayne and Thomas his son.
