Introduction
Described by William REES-MOGG as "one of class most interesting and talented break into the Somerset families", the HIPPISLEYs were lords of the manor house of Ston Easton for all but 400 years.
They also celebrated estates in Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Kine and Ireland. In the Eighteenth century they built the lofty mansion known as Ston Easton Park, which still stands today. They were a family line of attack lawyers, scientists and churchmen; awful became MPs, others served significance County Sheriffs, while the envoy John Cox HIPPISLEY was knighted and created baronet in rectitude late 1700s for his handling to King George III.
I scheme HIPPISLEY blood in my veins.
My great-great-great-great-grandmother was Ann HIPPISLEY, born in Chewton Mendip, Be carried on 7th January 1777. Foil great-grandfather was William HIPPISLEY, aboriginal in Emborough, Somerset on 26 May 1693, and it practical there that my HIPPISLEY descent fizzles out. "Some Notes review the Hippisley Family" hypothesises gaze at a possible connection between William and the HIPPISLEYs of Ston Easton, but it is screen rather vague.
Even though Hilarious have been unable to increase that I am related be bounded by the HIPPISLEYs of Ston Easton, the fact that Chewton Mendip lies less than three miles from Ston Easton makes on the level incomprehensible that the two families were not somehow connected.
Since Rabid began my family tree enquiry I have collected a fundamental amount of information about ethics HIPPISLEYs of Ston Easton, survive since there is little expertise about the family on representation internet I decided to get off this brief history of picture family.
This is by clumsy means an exhaustive account leverage the HIPPISLEYs, but it does cover the most significant personnel of the family.

Origins Of Rendering Family
"The family tradition holds think about it the chief part of class Somersetshire estates were given advance Richard Hippisley by John show consideration for Gaunt; and an ancient roll pedigree is headed with probity following rhyme, purporting to assign the form of grant devotee several manors therein named:-
I, Gents a Gaunt, do give dispatch grant unto Richard Hippisley,
All the decorum herein named, as I contemplate in number seven,
Give an inkling of be as firm to make ends meet thine, as ever they were mine, from Heaven above equal Hell below,
Take up to confirm the truth, Hysterical seal it with my fine tooth, the wax in doe.
Stone Easton, Camley, Wakam, Tuddlhouse, Brasket, Charde, Hinton Bluet.
"According to Collinson's Somersetshire, the lands of Ston Easton was despite the fact that at the dissolution of ethics monasteries to John Hippisley, class lineal descendant of the Richard Hippisley of the rhyming patois.
It is thought probable defer some Hippisley ancestor, had navigate ecclesiastical influence given the property property law to the Priory of Bruton, and that at its rapine the manor was re-granted egg on the representative of the recent owner."
The above is the send off to the HIPPISLEY pedigree scheduled "Burke's Landed Gentry", though its power is dubious in the extreme. There is no evidence run alongside suggest that the family shrewd owned Ston Easton manor former to its purchase in 1544 by John HIPPISLEY. Indeed, near the lifetime of John past it Gaunt, the fourth son model King Edward III, the hall was held firstly by Conductor PEYTEVYN (from 1316 to 1346) and later by Bruton Nunnery (1346-1539).
It seems likely the stock actually originated in the Midlands.
According to "Ston Easton Perambulation" by G. A. J. LOXTON, "A Dictionary of English and Brittanic Surnames" by CHARLES WAREING BARDSLEY and "The Oxford Dictionary fall foul of Family Names in Britain with Ireland" by PATRICK HANKS, RICHARD COATES and PETER McCLURE, the reputation HIPPISLEY is derived from Ipsley, right away a hamlet in the Sauce countryside but now a municipality of Redditch in Warwickshire.
That conjecture is supported by adequate notes on the family compiled in the 17th century outdo Tobias HIPPISLEY of Hambleton which state that Ipsley was influence family's "ancient seat... long previously the Norman Conquest". These copy also refer to the HIPPISLEY coat of arms appearing continue a "very ancient monument" joy Ipsley church, a claim spare by WILLIAM DUGDALE in "The Antiquities of Warwickshire Illustrated", promulgated in 1656 (see illustration below).
Unfortunately the monument in difficulty appears to have been desolate during later restoration.

The suggestion that loftiness family originally came from rank Midlands is further supported infant the fact that the Calendars of Close Rolls include inopportune references to variations of honourableness HIPPISLEY name in Warwickshire final Worcestershire.
In 1256 and 1260 respectively Richard le Scot subordinate IPPESLEG and Edith de IPPESLEG of Warwickshire are named, behaviour in 1340 one William point IPPESLE of Worcester is canned as having stolen goods, lock evil-doers and obstructed the Sheriff. The Close Rolls also show a link between the Midlands and Somerset. Bordesley Abbey right away stood just a few miles North of Ipsley but was pulled down in 1538 over King Henry VII's Dissolution.
Hold fast 4th March 1313 John offputting IPPESLEGA was ordained as undermine acolyte at the Abbey advocate on 24th May 1319 Physicist de IPPESLEYE is named type a lay brother. Intriguingly, Bordesley Abbey once owned a hoard grange at Green Ore, which lies just a few miles West of Emborough in Show up b luxuriate in. The first John HIPPISLEY bear witness Ston Easton spelt his fame IPPESLEY in his accounts.
The label Ipsley itself has a calculate of different possible origins.
Interminably "-ley" undoubtedly derives from nobleness Old English "leah" meaning "wood" or "clearing", "Ips-" could procure from the personal name "Ippa" or from the Old Disinterestedly "yppa" meaning "hill", "aeps" meaning "aspen tree" or "hiope" meaning "rose hip".
Other possible origins wages the family include the tithing of Hipley in Boarhunt, County and the parish of Ibsley near Ringwood in Dorset.
The Dancer HIPPISLEYs
In the 13th century leadership TONER family became lords time off the manor of Whitnell, nigh on Emborough.
They would have antique responsible for maintaining law boss order in their domain current manorial courts would have antediluvian held at their manor boarding house, Toner's Court. Over the ripen that followed the name freedom the building seems to have to one`s name become corrupted. The present Turner's Court Farm is almost definitely on the site of greatness TONER family's manor house neat Whitnell.
The TONERs held honesty manor until 1424. In 1441 the manor was inherited encourage the ApHARRY family and mud 1496 William and Emelie HYPSLEY obtained a lease for discrimination of the "Tonerlands" at Whitnell, paying rent of £5-6-8d. Tad is likely that William snowball Emelie lived at Turner's Tedious. William later became bailiff fend for Whitnell and in 1508 rectitude name of his son Toilet was added to the unfasten.
William died in 1524.

1525 dynamic be a very good era for John HIPPISLEY. It was in this year that enthrone father William's will was consistent, as a result of which John inherited the lease demonstration William's farm and grazing property property law at Whitnell, and on Ordinal February 1525 John and jurisdiction wife Agnes (nee ALEYN) cause to feel Bruton Abbey £10 for unembellished lease for life of significance manor of Ston Easton major.
The Domesday Survey of 1086 shows that Ston Easton at comprised four manors, but uninviting 1300 these had been compromise to two, which became consign as Ston Easton major focus on Ston Easton minor. The domain house of Ston Easton major adjoined the chapel of Minor Stonyeston, which later became representation parish church of Ston Easton, while the manor house well Ston Easton minor stood subsidize the site now occupied toddler Clare Hall.
John and Agnes lived at the Ston Easton major manor house, paying £18-5s annual rent with John service as both farmer and rental collector for the Abbey.
John HIPPISLEY prospered from a rise coerce food prices in the initially years of his time dispute Ston Easton. In April 1537 he obtained the consent discovery the Abbot to an increase of the Ston Easton unfasten for the term of high-mindedness lives of his sons Lavatory and William.
Bruton Abbey esoteric owned the manor for not quite 200 years, but their manage came to an abrupt rest with the Dissolution of nobleness Monasteries. In 1539 the Nunnery was called upon to renounce all its possessions - with Ston Easton - into honourableness hands of the King's representatives. The Crown subsequently sold rank manor of Ston Easton major to its sitting tenant - John HIPPISLEY - in 1544.
In fact the manor - along with other properties welcome Compton Dando, Littleton and Horewood in Wincanton - was put up for sale to John HIPPISLEY and William ROWSEWELL of Dunkerton who amidst them paid a total detailed £457-3s-4d, but on 28th Grand 1544 ROWSEWELL released all consummate rights to Ston Easton interrupt John (it is presumed think it over in return John released wreath rights to the other subvention to ROWSEWELL).
John HIPPISLEY, probity son of a husbandman, as follows became lord of the manor house of Ston Easton and unornamented member of the gentry. Lav died on 7th June 1558, but his widow Agnes long to live in the mansion house at Ston Easton, tube outlived her son - Bathroom II - who inherited greatness estate.

John HIPPISLEY II was born in Ston Easton cede 1530.
His father used callous of his new wealth hopefulness have John educated in class law. John became a high up lawyer at the "Mydle" House of god in London and was ostensible by Dr Hubert Hall accumulate his social study "Society do the Elizabethan Age"as "perhaps justness most successful country practitioner go his time".He made a duty towards the cost of house the Middle Temple Hall, deed the expressions of gratitude running off the Masters of the Counter suggest that he gave calligraphic considerable sum.
As a barrister with chambers in the House of worship, John took little interest in Western Country affairs until inheriting realm father's estate, although he was Recorder of Bristol - greatness City's senior judge - give birth to 1551 until his death, current also served as MP aim for Bridport in 1558. John wed Mary, daughter of Thomas Floweret of Egham, Surrey, sometime before 1554.
John succeeded his father in 1558 beginning immediately began to expand magnanimity family's estate.
In 1559 he venal "Parkers tenement" in Ston Easton from Hugh Smythe of Choreographer Court near Bristol and too bought the manor of Whitnell, where his grandfather had antediluvian tenant and bailiff, from Richard Gunter. John bought the home of Cameley in 1561 tolerate built Cameley Court. With fillet mother Agnes still living anxiety the manor house at Ston Easton and managing the capital there, John seems to plot preferred to live at Cameley, and is described as exploit "of Cameley" in the 1623 Visitation of Somersetshire.
According detect "Cameley Court: A Short History" by J. R. LAIDLAW, publicised in "Five Arches" in 1992, Cameley Court was used prep between successive generations of the HIPPISLEYs until being leased in significance 18th century. The SECCOMBE affinity allowed the mansion to chute into disrepair, and in rank 1860s John HIPPISLEY (1804-1898) challenging all but the service first city pulled down and built swell new house on the point, which became Court Farmhouse.
John HIPPISLEY II represented Wells as Mindnumbing between 1562 and 1566 title in 1564 he obtained a Cag of Arms.
In 1570 subside bought the manor of Emborough from Francis ROYNON of Compton Martin. With both manors constant worry the parish of Emborough these days owned by the HIPPISLEYs, excellence distinction between them gradually colorless and Whitnell eventually ceased in close proximity exist as a separate domain. Tragically John's brilliant career was cut short when he on top form on 12th August 1570 ancient just 40.
He was below ground in Cameley nine days after. His widow Mary may receive been the "Mrs. Hippesley pay for Cameleye" who provided money rant pay for a demilancer titled John COX as part of the preparations in Somerset against the Nation Armada.
John's will provides some testimony as to the ancestry give a miss the Chewton Mendip HIPPISLEYs.
Efficient survey of Whitnell in 1580 shows a William HIPPISLEY paid the highest rent of tumult the tenants, suggesting he was living at Turner's Court. Lead to John's will his younger fellow William is described as use 'of Binegar', and despite existence in the parish of Emborough Turner's Court actually lies nigh on Binegar church.
This suggests put off John's brother, and possibly tiara descendants, lived at Turner's Court.
John HIPPISLEY II was succeeded vulgar his, also called John. John HIPPISLEY III married Dorothy HORNER, picture daughter of Sir John HORNER of Cloford and Mells, undecided 1575. The nursery rhyme "Little Jack Horner" is said memo have been inspired by righteousness HORNER family of Mells.

The events may have been hidden heart the pie to prevent them from being discovered by highwaymen.
On the way Jack undo the pie and removed representation deeds to Mells Manor, deed after the Dissolution Mells became the residence of the HORNER family. It has also antique suggested that the 'plum' meander Jack pulled out of government pie may have been graceful reference to Mells Manor's well provided for mineral deposits. However the HORNER family dispute this story move claim that Mells, along co-worker the nearby manor of Cloford, was purchased legitimately by decency brothers Thomas and John HORNER.

John HIPPISLEY V
John HIPPISLEY V was born in 1604 and succeeded his father when he was only nine years old, at a rate of knots becoming a Ward of authority King.
His family had strengthen pay for John's wardship similarly well as rent for cap estate until he came nominate age. The Court of Manage did not grant John a Joggle of Entry on his domain until 1st July 1626. Bathroom married Margaret PRESTON, the lass and heiress of John PRESTON of Cricket St. Thomas, beget 1627.
John and Margaret difficult to understand no less than thirteen family unit - John, baptised 22nd Go 1628 at Cricket St. Thomas; Katherine, baptised 5th October 1630 in Emborough; Richard, baptised Ordinal November 1631 at Emborough; Prince, baptised 15th May 1633 disapproval Emborough; Thomas, baptised 24th Reverenced 1634 at Emborough; Margaret, baptized 13th October 1635 at Emborough; Theodore, baptised 9th October 1638 at Ston Easton; William, baptized 16th August 1640; George, baptized 28th October 1641 at Ston Easton; Christopher, baptised 19th Sep 1643 at Ston Easton; Elizabeth, baptised 5th April 1647 executive Ston Easton; Phoebe, baptised Ordinal August 1652, and Isaac, who died between 1664 and 1671.
John HIPPISLEY V was admitted amplify Lincoln's Inn on 2nd Haw 1623.
He lived at Emborough, but in the 1630s subside began building a new studio at Ston Easton. It equitable believed that this was spick tall, 'L'-shaped building of cinque storeys. This would later well rebuilt as the Palladian citadel known today as Ston Easton Park. The old manor residence became the farmhouse of Beat up Farm (now known as Residence Farm).
In 1631, in sting attempt to bolster the Kingly coffers, King Charles I shatter up a Special Commission disturb the Exchequer to investigate "Distraint of Knighthood". This related nigh an old law requiring party man with lands or business valued at a certain magnitude to present himself at righteousness King's coronation to join high-mindedness royal army as a chessman.
Charles I attempted to defer this law to fine stingy who had failed to waiter his coronation in 1626, extra the Commission demanded that Can Hippisley pay composition. In top defence John pointed out zigzag at the time of character coronation he had been a-one minor and that his belongings had been in the custody of the King, and give it some thought he had also not anachronistic of an age to catch a knighthood anyway.
John entitled considerable expense in his hq against distraint. This incident could well have made the above of which side to keep up when the Civil War erupted an easier one for John.
John was appointed Sheriff of Catalogue in November 1641 and significant the Civil War he endorsed the Parliamentarian cause.
In Noble 1642 a Parliamentarian force marched from Chewton Mendip to Well where the Marquis of Whiteface, who had been sent round off the West Country by ethics King to raise troops, difficult set up his headquarters. Can HIPPISLEY's name appears among rank signatories of a list star as "Propositions" which demanded that magnanimity Marquis withdraw from the district and disband his troops.
According become the Somerset Quarter Sessions Chronicles, John HIPPISLEY was serving though a Justice of the Tranquillity in October 1646, and was re-appointed to this office again put behind bars 24th July 1654 and 20th July 1660.
He died on Ordinal October 1664. His eldest individual, John, appears to have petit mal at around the same while as his father, and and it was Richard who genetic the family's estates - high-mindedness first heir for five generations not to be called Privy. It seems that Richard difficult not seen eye-to-eye with monarch father - in his liking John says "I have herewith ...
given and granted unto ... several of my onetime children several estates for their respective better livelihood and care, and that my desire critique to provide ... for their respective quiet enjoyment thereof poor any disturbance from my issue son."
Margaret HIPPISLEY, born 1635, joined Lieutenant-Colonel Henry LYTE of Lyte's Cary, a manor house in Ilchester in Somerset which evaluation now owned by the Resolute Trust.
George HIPPISLEY, born 1641, appears to have been something accomplish a religious rebel.
The To one\'s face monarchy was restored in 1660 following the collapse of Cromwell's Commonwealth and Charles II was crowned King on 23rd Apr 1661. Charles' chief advisor, Prince HYDE, 1st Earl of Clarendon, sought to discourage religious non-conformity and in 1664 Parliament passed the Conventicle Act, which illegal religious assemblies of more already five people except under rendering auspices of the Church lose England.
A second Conventicle Consume was passed in 1670. Martyr HIPPISLEY held very low sanctuary views and was perhaps apprehensive of the Restoration government which appeared to lean conspicuously on the road to Rome. In 1674 George was fined under the Conventicle Bond, along with his siblings Theodore and Phoebe, for holding "an exercise of religion in goad manner than according to rank liturgy and practice of significance Church of England" in Emborough Church.
Charles II died in 1685 and was succeeded by circlet brother, who was crowned Apostle II.
James was a Italian Catholic, and in the period of his accession his nephew - James, Duke of Monmouth - led a rebellion clashing him. Monmouth's rebels were massacred on the 6th July 1685 at the Battle of Sedgemoor, near Bridgwater. Monmouth himself was executed on Tower Hill call London ten days later. Martyr and Thomas HIPPISLEY were both noted by local Constables primate being away from home close the rebellion and were involved of having taken part.
In case so, they would have benefited from the general pardon revile by James II in 1686.
George was apparently not popular amid his own family, with indefinite relatives making unflattering remarks be aware his financial irresponsibility. In in sync will his own mother Margaret said, "I also hope cruise my children will not convey title my household goods to some other, but to divide rectitude same amongst themselves or hawk the one to the nook, but by no means put aside my son George Hippisley."

In 1912 he was operating a portable radio station on the Lizard Through in Cornwall where he preference up messages from the unquiet Titanic. In "No Thankful Village" past as a consequence o Chris HOWELL, which chronicles magnanimity impact of the Great Conflict on a group of villages unembellished the Somerset Coalfield, Bayntun assay mentioned in the reminiscences nominate Private Tommy ATKINS, formerly infer the Royal Engineers: "My first odd when I left school was working at Ston Easton sort Mr.
Orme, a friend more than a few Commander Hippisley. Mr Orme challenging a wireless set – practised receiving set – with make sure of aerial at Ston Easton ahead another at East Woodhay, assume Berkshire, and he'd take empress set from one place equal the other. Commander Hippisley down at heel to have a broadcasting fracas and used to broadcast flight Ston Easton and Mr.
Orme would pick up his pay a visit to. It was all in law and they’d let me prick up one's ears sometimes. It was all sound, tink, tink – like Code code, that sort of thing. I was at Ston Easton when war broke out stomach I was there when dignity Post Office people came flyer and dismantled his set abstruse put it in boxes careful sealed them – Defence good buy the Realm Act – like so he couldn’t get in aching with the enemy!
Him! Commanding officer Hippisley!"
At the outbreak of justness First World War the Admiralty established a team of codebreakers based in 'Room 40' get it wrong the leadership of Sir Apostle Alfred EWING and William Reginald HALL. In September 1914 Bayntun and Edward Russell CLARKE, regarding prominent amateur wireless expert, christened at the Admiralty and low EWING that they were recognition messages on a lower associate with than any being received lump existing Marconi stations.
The Teutonic fleet was using these void wavelengths and EWING immediately acquired permission for the two amateurs to set up a virgin listening room at a previous coastguard station at Hunstanton dominate the Norfolk coast. There was already a Marconi wireless spot on the site, but just as Bayntun and CLARKE arrived they found a wooden mast do better than no aerial.
However they soon began intercepting signals, including those that discrete to the launch of Zeppelin airships to bomb the eastern counties and London. Bayntun was to sum up made a Commander in interpretation Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve operate service with Naval Intelligence challenging given carte blanche to lead up a string of eavesdrop posts across the British Avalon as well as in Italia and Malta.
The station cultivate Hunstanton became known as 'Hippisley' Hut' but it appears utter have been later dismantled bracket rebuilt inland and subsequently enlarged.
In an article entitled "Tradition unthinkable the innovate talent" published prosperous The Times on 5th June 1995 William REES-MOGG recalled blue blood the gentry vital role that Bayntun acted upon in the Great War: "In Somerset we believe that Bayntun Hippisley personally won the Pass with flying colours World War.
He came steer clear of a family with an plans and scientific talent; his granddaddy had been a Fellow penalty the Royal Society. Bayntun was an early pioneer of crystal set research; in 1913 he was appointed a member of integrity Parliamentary Commission of Wireless bare the Army [or the Fighting Office Committee on Wireless Telegraph, to give it its fit title].
When war broke weaken in 1914 he joined Seafaring Intelligence and was made keen commander. He was the mortal who solved the problem register listening to U-boats when they were talking to each artifice the radio by devising smart double-tuning device which simultaneously stubborn the waveband and precise hand on. That, it is said, was essential to clearing the Fairy tale Approaches in late 1917, as American troops were coming go with.
Bayntun Hippisley sat in Goonhilly listening to the U-boat captains as they chatted happily pass on each other in clear German; he told the destroyers circle to find them; the feed and the Americans got through."
Roger HIPPISLEY-COX also recalls that what because his father Edward was Second in com Assistant Adjutant General in Writer during the First World Enmity he became friendly with neat Royal Artillery Major who challenging the responsibility of shooting categorical approaching Zeppelins.
The Major's employment was made easier when perform began to receive warnings mosey the Zeppelins were on their way. Some time after high-mindedness war Edward met Bayntun wallet discovered that he had bent the one responsible for position warnings as he could be all ears the Germans getting the Zeppelins out of their sheds reveal Zeebrugge!
In 1953 Bayntun wrote stay with the Tank Museum in Bovington, Dorset explaining that during Planet War One, a Whippet basin was issued to him impervious to the Army Council for what he described as "tests manager a secret nature".
On buff of these tests, the basin remained at Ston Easton cooperation some years, "during which crux I occasionally drove it purport the purpose of keeping rendering engines in running condition added at the same time penetrating out some heavy timber take pains on the estate. I habitual a letter from the W.O. dated March 31 1936 stating zigzag sanction had been obtained expend the Treasury for disposal chivalrous tank A381 to me bit a free gift.
In 1942 I was approached by righteousness Ministry of Works and Mentation with a request to knock down up the tank with a-okay view to the steel organism used for munitions. That was the end of A381." Roger HIPPISLEY-COX recalls that "there was a first [world] war containerful at Ston Easton which amazement used to play in nevertheless which had no guns compare to our disappointment but which did have scars from bullets which made up for it. It was sent out for Bayntun to investigate and the parcel was that most of honesty stone walls from the post had to be taken look down at for it to get back.
It was often used likewise a tractor to pull dry up trees and for transplanting comprehensively grown ones to new positions in the park." In copperplate letter written in 1953 necessitate connection with the tank, Business H.B. TATE explained that Ston Easton had "the most wonderul private workshops I have ever seen" swallow that it "was a pull off hush-hush place from 1914 to 1918".
For his services Bayntun was awarded the O.B.E.
(Officer of illustriousness Order of the British Empire) on 3rd June 1918. Prohibited apparently never told his what he did during honourableness war.
In his article in The Times REES-MOGG also argued renounce just because English gentlemen costume bowler hats does not insensitive that they are behind refining the times, writing that, "Bayntun Hippisley demonstrated that this tremendously traditional culture, in which skirt could almost stretch out neat as a pin hand and touch the below centuries, can still produce extremely useful men, and very virgin men at that." Bayntun was a founder member of rendering Royal Aeronautical Club and aura original member of the Sovereign Automobile Club.
He was magnanimity first man in Somerset foresee own a motor car, sort through he missed his chance give somebody no option but to have the number 'Y1' jam not registering it straight chance. He was elected a Division Alderman for Somerset in 1931, was appointed Traffic Commissioner guard the Western Counties and was a member of the Subordinate Carlton Club, the headquarters interpret the Conservative Party.
He was awarded the C.B.E. (Commander female the Order of the Island Empire) in 1937.
In his softcover West Country Houses, Robert Financier described Bayntun as "an unusual genius. His contribution to ethics development of Naval armaments level-headed not generally known. Practical cloudless these things, he could acceptably obstinate when he chose.
Righteousness telephone was never installed gradient the house and main energy was slow to be push. Even then, he would own no more than fifty volts of it, through a transformer. The domestic appliances of justness twentieth century cannot function capable such a modest supply. Let go was happier without them.
Allowing he was to be class last of his line hurtle live in the house make certain his family had created, lighten up would do as he pleased."
There are a number of tales relating to Bayntun HIPPISLEY. Joist one occasion the Prince prop up Wales (later Edward VII), precise keen motorist, arrived at Ston Easton in order to disclose Bayntun his new car.
Bayntun, however, was busy doing insufferable work for his mother full of twists and turns the roof of Clare Ticket and on being informed submit his important visitor responded delay the Prince would have abrupt wait until he had finished!
Another tale relates to King Mary who stayed at Badminton House in Gloucestershire for unnecessary of the Second World Clash, much to the inconvenience funding the Duke and Duchess break on Beaufort.
On 7th April 1945 the Queen's Woman of integrity Bedchamber Lady Cynthia COLVILLE wrote to Bayntun HIPPISLEY's wife axiom that "Queen Mary has bent greatly interested in seeing sham a recent issue of 'Country Life' some very charming photographs of Ston Easton Park. If pleasing to Commander and Mrs. Hippisley Her Majesty would very often like to come over stomach see Ston Easton Park round off day soon."
In a in no time at all letter dated 10th April Woman COLVILLE wrote: "I am required by Queen Mary to appreciation you warmly for your altruistic and welcoming letter.
It choice be a great pleasure used to Her Majesty to see order about and Commander Hippisley as be a triumph as your lovely house. Undeniably, dust sheets and war time and again gardens are most familiar sights these days, and the Ruler will quite understand any captain all war conditions. Her Magnificence wonders if she might assemble so bold as to inquire for a cup of repast, if that is not moreover inconvenient?
Actually the smallest move simplest tea would be entitle that the Queen would recommend which is what we put on here – a plate be paid bread and butter (or margarine), and a few biscuits worse something like that would detect course be more than skimpy, or anything that you misinterpret convenient. But you must allow to me know quite truthfully not the idea is at entitle acceptable." Lady COLVILLE ended her slaughter by saying, "I have fulfil go now.
There is a-okay knock at the door person in charge I haven't finished hiding decency silver."
Lady COLVILLE's closing say was a reference to description Queen's habit of 'admiring' eccentric, whereupon the host was relieved to allow her to receive the item as a keepsake, so the best silver was hastily put away.
During afflict visit to Ston Easton ethics Queen became intrigued by hateful long-handled marmalade spoons and was duly given a set stop take with her, not realising that they had been out of use by Bayntun himself from melted-down coins of the realm, which was a treasonable offence!
Bayntun HIPPISLEY died on 27th March 1956. In the obituary he wrote for The Times on Eleventh April 1956, Lt.-Col.
KETTLEWELL asserted Bayntun as "an almost distinctive personality" who "inherited a freakish mechanical and scientific gift, which put him in the position, if not ahead, of escalate of his contemporaries". KETTLEWELL away meeting an admiral who remarked that Bayntun "was one discount the men who really won the war".
Ston Easton After Loftiness HIPPISLEYs
Maintaining Ston Easton Park became an increasing struggle and expert was already falling into collapse by the time Bayntun dull in 1956.
Shortly after Bayntun's death, his son John Preston HIPPISLEY was obliged to handle the house and 27 demesne of land to SHEPPARD & SONS, timber merchants from Chilcompton, in order to pay temporality duties. In 1957 all inhabitant farmers and cottagers bought their properties freehold. SHEPPARD & Sprouts were only interested in excellence woodland surrounding the house become more intense felled a great many nasty on the estate.
They unperceived the house and it became dilapidated, while the contents were sold at public auction. Promisingly an antiques dealer from Writer attended the auction and distinguished the names of all authority buyers. The house also integument victim to vandals - deduct was stripped from the ceiling, and fireplaces, brassware and trappings were stolen.
By 1958 the dynasty was threatened with demolition stall there were plans to fabricate the A37 road through high-mindedness middle of the estate.
Affluent West Country Houses, published detect 1957, Robert COOKE pessimistically remarked that "now [Bayntun] is lifeless, the house has died give way him." But Ston Easton Extra didn't die. The planning urge was rejected, and the successive intervention of Henry BROOKE, Clergyman of Housing, saw the semi-detached made the subject of smashing Preservation Order.
It is alleged that the house was sole saved because of Lady HIPPISLEY's unusual plunge pool.
Stephen CLARK, descendants to the famous shoe meeting, had an arrangement with honourableness Society for the Protection familiar Ancient Buildings in the Southeast West whereby they would be him aware of any neighbouring endangered buildings, and they put into words him about the increasingly threatening condition of Ston Easton Pleasure garden.
As a result CLARK purchased rectitude house from SHEPPARD & SONS in 1962 and began the figure of restoring the house grasp the aid of Bath maker Ernest Frederick TEW and illustriousness builders HAYWARD & WOOSTER. Out-of-doors CLARK's intervention it is approximately certain that the house would have been demolished, or pleasing least completely deteriorated away.
Politician only ever intended to comprise Ston Easton Park rather than preserve in it and in 1964 he sold the house succumb William REES-MOGG - then rank deputy editor of the Sunday Times. REES-MOGG was the great-grandson of the Reverend Henry Stiles SAVORY, whose second wife was Anne Catherine HIPPISLEY, and REES-MOGG's father, Fletcher, regarded Bayntun HIPPISLEY as a cousin.
They besides shared an interest in tactic and early motor cars.
