52 BRADSHAW HALL AND THE BRADSHAWES. 



writer's suggestion that the Henry nf the entail deed of 1429 is the most 

 probable progenitor of the Wvndlev branch, as he would be, also, of the 

 Bradshawes of Alderwasley and Wirksworth, from whom it is stated sprang 

 the Bradshawes of Barton Blount. 



The earliest known mention of a member of the Bradshawe family in 

 connection with Wvndlev is of one Henrv Bradshawe, and is to be found 

 in a deed only two years later than that of the entail. It is possible, 

 though not probable, that he is also identical with Henry Bradshaw of 

 Alderwasley, 1483.* The charter! is dated at Wyndley, Oct. ist, 1431, 

 and is a re-grant of lands in Wyndley and Mugginton by Henry Brad- 

 shawe, Richard Bee, rector, and Thomas Bradshawe to Richard Prince 

 and Matilda, his wife. 



In 12 Henry VI. (1433), :t Robert and Edward Bradshawe, of Wyndley, 

 are returned in the list of gentry for the county of Derby. 



Nearlv fiftv vears later,§ Robert Bradshawe, of Wyndley, probably son 

 or grandson of Henrv, was a party to an indenture dated Ajjril ist, 1480, 

 concerning the Bradbourne Chantry at Hulland, near Ashbourne. 



In 1500,11 the presentation to the living of Osmaston was made by Thomas 

 Bradshaw, who, also, unless he were another! Thomas, together with 

 Robert Bradshaw, presented to the living of Crich in 1542. The presenta- 

 tion to Osmaston was undoubtedly made by Thomas Bradshaw, as the 

 heir of Robert Folger|| (or Foucher), who in 1357 had founded a chantry 

 within the Chapel of St. James at Osmaston. " He endowed it with 

 certain lands and tenements in Osmaston and Normanlon," and the 

 inquisition giving permission for the alienation states that the founder 

 retained other lands in Osmaston as well as in DufReld and in Colton, 

 a sub-manor of Normanton.' 



"John Bradshaw, Esq., who died in 1523," says Lyson,** was seised 

 of a moiety of the Manor of Wyndley and of the manor of Champeyne, 

 in Duffield, inherited by his family from the Fouchers, who had married 

 Ihe heiress of Champeyne. The Fouchers had a park here in 1330." 

 This John Bradshawe, of Wyndley, so often confused with John, the son 

 of Henrv Bradshawe, of Bradshaw, who died in his father's lifetime, 

 before 1521, §§ married Isabella,tt daughter of Thomas Kinnersley, of 

 Loxley, county Stafford. "The Visitation of i6iitt mentions a glass 

 window in Mugginton Church with the following inscription : ' Orate pro 

 anima Johis Bradshaw filiorumque suorum defunctorum ac etiam pro 

 bono statu Isabellre uxoris ejus,' and a coat of arms : Arg. between two 

 bendlets, as many martlets sable (Bradshawe) ; erm. on a bend gul. three 

 .bezants (Fulcher) impaling ; arg., a fesse vahc or and gul. between three 

 eagles displayed of the last (Kinnersley)."
