fame ; and he died (April 14th, 1557) a prisoner, arrested for 
rebellion, on his way to London, under Queen Mary. 1 But 
YVyshanger Manor did pass to him. As his children were not 
legitimate, his father’s properties (including Haresfield Park 
and Manor which Edward YI. gave him in 1551) passed to his 
niece, Frances, wife of Sir Henry Jerningham, Master of the 
Horse. Consequently some of the later Kingstons, the effigy of 
one of whom we see in Miserden Church (1614), built and lived at 
Hazel House. Wyshanger Manor became granted in 1558 to 
Lord William Howard and Sir H. Peckham. These alienated 
it to Christopher Bumstead, and he soon after (c. 1598) to 
John Browne, and the latter alienated it again to William 
Partridge and Margaret his wife, whose monument is still seen 
in the chancel of Miserden Church. There is a fine of a. 3 
Eliz., 1591 (Easter), between William Lambarde, Esq., with 
Robert Blacker, Esq., and Robert and William Partridge, by 
which the latter are acknowledged owners of Syde Manor and 
other lands in Miserden, Wyshanger, and Througham. In the 
following year, 1592, another fine acknowledged Henry (sen.) 
and Francis Jerningham as Lords of the Manors of Miserden, 
Painswick, Haresfield, Shepscombe, Edge, and the advowsons 
of Miserden and Haresfield. In 1605 (Mich.) Henry Partridge 
(gen.) held it, who leased it to the Rev. John Mortimer and Anne 
his wife (perhaps a Partridge). (Feet of Fines a. 2 James). 
Miserden itself w^as granted in fee-simple to Thomas Throck- 
morton and Edward Ramsay, Esqrs. (trustees) July 9th, 1613, 
for the benefit of their kinsman, Henry Jerningham, “ ancient 
tenant ” (kinsman of the Kingstons) then suffering from 
“ melancholia and rheumatism.” About 1619-20 Sir Henry 
Jerningham sold his interest in the Manor to Sir William Sandys 
of Fladbury and Brimsfield, near Pershore (Co. Wore.) in whose 
family it remained until the nineteenth century, and w-hose 
beautiful effigies of Derbyshire alabaster, a perfect masterpiece 
by Nicholas (or else Harris) Stone, of Westminster, adorn the 
South Chapel. 
1 As in 1558 Lord Wm. Howard was granted “ Wynshangre, manor of the Monastery of 
S. Peter’s ” (GIos.),it becomes likely that Queen Mary gave it to that Abbey on Kingston’s decease 
and did not grant it to the Jerninghams. Sir Wm. Peckham also had a grant of £46 10s. out of 
the same.
