By the Rev. Canon J. #. Jackson, F8.A. 43 
there may have been for the elder sister Alice Pavely’s representatives 
I cannot say: but of Joan’s representatives we know that Brook 
House (which stood where Brook House Farm now stands) was 
theirs. Of that house we have some account. Leland visited it in 
his tour, in the reign of Henry VIII. He says, “ From Steple 
Ashton to Brook Haule by woody ground. There was of very 
auncient tyme an old Manor Place where Brook Haule now is, and 
part of it yet apperith. But the new building that is there is of 
the creating of the Lord Steward unto K. Hen. VII. [the first Lord 
Willoughby de Broke, I believe]. The windows be full of rudders 
(device). Peradventure it was his badge or token of the Admiral. 
There is a fayr Park but no great thing. In it be a great number 
of very fair and fine grand okes apt to sele houses.” John Aubrey, 
a hundred years after Leland, saw and describes it as “ a very great 
and stately old house. The Hall great and open with very old 
windows—but only one coat of Pavely was left.” In the parlour, 
chapel and canopy chamber, he found and copied twenty coats of 
arms. “The rudders everywhere.” ‘These have been drawn and 
published in the volume ealled “ Wiltshire Collections.” The ship’s 
rudder, so frequent as a device, does not, however, appear to have 
been as Leland “ peradventured ” peculiar to the Willoughby family, 
but rather to their predecessors the Cheyneys; for it is found in 
Edington Church on a little chantry chapel, of a date many years 
before the Willoughbys succeeded to Brook. Of the Cheney family 
of Brook little is left except the chantry just mentioned, which 
original property of Pavely became ultimately subdivided. Suppose it, when 
entire, to be represented by 20s.
