Sir Humphrey Stafford, jun., ‘‘of the Silver Hand,” was elder brother of 
John Stafford, Bishop of Bath and Wells, afterwards Archbishop of Canterbury, 
who died a.p, 1452. Their mother Emma, second wife of Sir Humphrey 
Stafford, sen., was buried in the neighbouring church of North Bradley, within a 
beautiful little Mortuary Chapel appurtenant to Southwick in that parish, a 
manor house which formerly belonged to the Staffords, and from them (probably 
by the marriage of Alice Stafford above mentioned) came to Cheney and thence 
to Willoughby. The inscription on the tomb of the Archbishop’s mother still 
remains, and it removes a difficulty in the Stafford pedigree which has been 
hitherto unsolved. See it stated in a note by Sir Harris Nicolas, Testamenta 
Vetusta, p. 166.

grandson being attainted A.p, 1485, his portion of the Westbury property was 
granted to Lord Willoughby de Broke who already possessed the share which 
had descended to him through the Cheney family from Joan the other coheiress 
of Paveley.
