also left him Abbot's Court. l At the death of a descend- 

 ant, Thomas Tregonwell, Esq., this latter house was sold to

His eldest son, John, died at Milton, December, 1667, leaving 

 an only son, John, who was Sheriff of Dorset, 1670, and left a 

 chained Library to Milton Abbey Church as a thank-offering for 

 a miraculous escape from death in falling from the roof of the 

 church. 2 He married Jane, daughter of Sir Robert Fenn, Lord 

 Mayor of London, and, dying in 1680, left one son, John (who 

 died in his father's life-time, 1677, without issue) and three 

 daughters, one of whom, Mary, married, first, Francis Lutterell, 

 of Dunster Castle, Esq., and, second, Sir Jacob Bancks, a native 

 of Sweden, who came into England with his uncle, the Swedish 

 Ambassador, as Secretary to the Embassy in 1681. He served 

 in the Navy with distinction, and after his marriage with Mrs. 

 Lutterell became Member of Parliament for Minehead, Somerset. 



Sir Jacob Bancks was instrumental in having a monument 

 erected to Milton in Westminster Abbey ; he died at Wimbledon 

 in 1724. His wife, the last of the Tregon wells who lived at 

 Milton, predeceased him in 1703, and is buried at Milton Abbey.
