Kingston House, Bradford. 273 
died 1670), and sister of Thomas Thynne, Esq., (Tom of Ten 
Thousand) who was murdered by Count Koningsmark in the streets 
of London, in February 1682. The monument to Mr. Thynne in 
Westminster Abbey was erected by Mr. John Hall his brother-in- 
law and executor. 
John Hall at his death in 1711 left one daughter Elizabeth,! who 
became the wife of Thomas Baynton Esq. of Chalfield, second son 
of Sir Edward Baynton of Bromham. The only child of Mr. and 
Mrs. Baynton was Rachel Baynton, who appears to have been un- 
married at the time of her grandfather John Hall’s death. By 
his will dated 10th September, 1708, he devised all his lands in 
Wilts, Somerset, and elsewhere, to Denzill Onslow, Esq., Edward 
Lisle, Esq., Francis Goddard, Esq., and Robert Eyre, Esq., trustees; 
upon trust after the marriage of Rachel daughter of Thomas 
Baynton, then of Bradford, Wilts, (the testator’s granddaughter), for 
the said Rachel Baynton during her life: after her death to her 
heirs male successively: remainder to Edward Seymour, son of 
Sir Edward Seymour, Bart., for his life: remainder to his heirs 
male: remainder to William Pearce grandson of the testator’s sister, 
Mrs. Coward. By a codicil dated February 1710, he preferred the 
said William Pearce and his heirs male, before Edward Seymour 
and his heirs male. 
Mr. Hall also by his will charged his farm called Paxcroft farm 
in Steeple Ashton, lately purchased from Matthew Burges, (now the 
property of Walter Long, Esq.), with a clear sum of £40 per 
annum, for the maintenance of four poor men in the almshouse he 
had lately erected in Bradford. 
Attached to the south side of the nave of Bradford church is a 
small chapel known by the name of ‘The Kingston Aisle,” which 
is kept in repair by the owner of Kingston House. What may be 
concealed under the seats or boarded floor of this chapel the writer 
cannot say, but he has not been able to discover in any visible part 
of Bradford church the slightest trace of monument, device, in- 
scription, or other memorial whatsoever to the Hall family. On a 
wooden screen which parted this chapel from the South Aisle there 
was a few years ago, the Coat of Hall.
