Dr. Willoughby was the third son of Sir Percival, of Woollaton, 

 who sat for Nottingham in the first Parliament of James I. 



Katharine Willoughby, of Parham, Duchess of Suffolk, with 



her second husband, Richard Bertie, had to fly the countr)' from 



Queen Mary's persecution, and wandering, almost as a 



mendicant, in the low countries, she gave birth to a son in the 



porch of the church of vSt. Willebrod, Wessel. That son 



became the famous Lord Willoughby, hero of Zutphen, and 



whose feats of arms were the subject of a once-popular ballad. 



There remains a part of the moated hall at Parham, now used 



as a farmhouse.
