BEVIL &BEVILLE

The first Bevill at the Conquest was an officer under the Earl of Morton and Cornwall.  One of his descendants married a Gwairnick  heiress, ( in Cornwall) who brought him the land of that name, which became the seat of the Bevills for about ten generations."— The last heir died in the time of Henry VIII. "Guerneck of  late was one of the Manor Places of Boville alias Beville.

Beuill :or Boiville; variously spelt Boville, Boeville, Beeville, and Buvilla—in the Dives Roll it is Biville—from Beuville, near Caen. Two of this name are entered in Domesday:
Humphrey de Buiville, a baron in Herefordshire; and William de Bocvilla, an under tenant in Suffolk.


   Wolstone Manor was an important estate in North Cornwall and recorded  in the Domesday Book as being owned by Saewulf before 1066

In 1993 an archaeological survey records a medieval motte, a chapel of St George and a  Holy Well.
Today the original Manor House no longer exists

The farm now offers self catering holidays Bevill family held the manor at Killigarth in Polperro Talland Parish in 1523, St Kew and a manor of Gwarnack in St Allen.

 John Bevill, Sheriff  of Cornwall in 1495 and 1502 , lived at the manor house of Killigarth in  Talland parish near Polperro.


Woolstone occurs in several places in England 'meaning Wulfsige's farm'.
The name occurs in Cornwall ( near Poundstock and Barnstaple) Gloucestershire ( near Gotherington)& in the Vale of the White Horse of Oxfordshire; in Berkeshire, in Buckinghamshire, Shropshire a Woolstone in Suffolk.

From PARLIAMENTARY HISTORY

JOHN BEVILLE,  (d.1426), of Woolston in Poundstock, Cornw. Constituency Dates CORNWALL 1386

Family and Education s. and h. of John Beville† of Woolston ? by his 1st w. Cecily. Married   by 1409, to Agnes Beaupyne (c.1386-17 Mar. 1442), daughter of  the  Briastol merchant Thomas Beaupyne of Bristol &  wid. of John Bluet of Grindham, Som., 

They had 1 son ,Humphrey and one daughter,Margaret 


Beville acted - Commander. of arrest, Cornwall. Feb. 1388; array Apr. 1418; to treat for loans Nov. 1419, Jan 1420.

Sheriff, Cornwall. 1 Dec. 1396-3 Nov. 1397, Devon 23 Apr.-22 Oct. 1404, 1 Dec. 1415-30 Nov. 1416.

J.P. Cornwall. 3 Feb. 1416 Feb. 1422.


Biography Beville’s career spanned nearly 40 years, but his activities in the early stages are difficult to trace with certainty, especially as his father (knight of the shire for Cornwall in 1376, 1378 and 1380) was still busy in 1393.


John junior first appears as keeper of the lands of certain outlaws in ‘Kelemson’, Cornwall, in 1379, and subsequently, in 1385, he acted as surety for his father. The latter was sheriff of Cornwall (for the second time) in the autumn of 1386, and so, by virtue of his office, held the elections at which John junior was returned to Parliament. 


After that date, save in his commission to arrest men for disturbances against the under sheriff in 1388, distinction was rarely made between him and his father.

There is some doubt as to which John Beville was the sheriff of 1396-


 Beville’s personal relationships are also unclear. Agnes Beaupyne may have been his second wife, for in September 1381 Bishop Brantingham had issued a commission to hear a matrimonial cause brought against Beville by Margaret, daughter of Richard Coletone. The matter in dispute is not mentioned, though such cases usually involved disagreement over the validity of nuptials.


It is curious that Beville appears to have sat in the Commons only once. He took a fair share of public service in his county later. And, indeed, his burden at one stage must have been considerable: certainly, after his term as sheriff in November 1416, he received exoneration of £50 owed to the Exchequer ‘in consideration of his great losses and costs in office’.

 He was present at the Cornish elections to the Parliaments of 1414 (Nov.), 1417 and 1421 (Dec.), and at the Devonshire elections held at Exeter in April 1421. His local activities included the feoffeeship of the estates of William, Lord Botreaux, and, towards the end of his life, the guardianship of Thomas Rescarreck (one of John Chenduyt’s* heirs).


Beville was a man of greater substance than his father, partly as a result of his marriage to an heiress. At his death he held the family property at Woolston (Cornwall), Barkington and Sparkwell (Staverton near Totnes in Devon), his wife’s inheritance of the manor and hundred of North Petherton (Somerset) and Grindham, ‘Faryngton’ and ‘Iwode’ (formerly Bluet property) in the same county. Elsewhere, in Devon and Cornwall, he owned 35 messuages and some 850 acres of land.


These estates alone gave him an income of about £60 a year. Beville was able to lend 60 marks to the Crown in 1415, receiving as security (with other Devon men) ‘the duke of Burgundy’s great tabernacle’. 


He died on 13 Jan. 1426, leaving a son Humphrey, then aged 17 years, as his heir.

Margaret who was wife to Edward Pomeroy by 1404 was the child of his 1st Wife Margaret de Collaton.

Humphrey Beville – was he father of Isabelle who married Thomas Worthe?
it seems likely-

In 1458 Isabella Bevill daughter of Humphrey Bevill of Wolstone, (he was born in Ipswich- Suffolk) was married in Ipswich -Suffolk to Thomas Worth of Wolstone in Ipswich  son of Thomas Worth and Elizabeth Milliton. There was a dispute between this pair over lands at Wolstone. –

A John Speke was witness to a grant on 11 August 1459 to John Wynard, esq (of manor of Wolveston, and other lands). - The deed mentioned may be a record of the division of Wolstone Manor land between John Wynard and Thomas Worth whose wife was Elizabeth Bevile, daughter of Humphrie Bevile (aka Devile) who as Humphries' heir seems to have some claim to the Wolston land. But Thomas Worth was the son of Thomas Worth and Elizabeth Milliton and he also might have some claim to the Wolston lands through his mother's family who are also connected to the Bevile or Beville line.

   Humphrey Bevill de Woolston was born Ipswich in Suffolk 1395 his daughter Isabella Bevill of Wolstone and Thomas Worth b 1420 who was son of  a  Worth and a Milliton  and  who were married in Ipswich Suffolk. Isabella and Thomas Worth  had along running  dispute over land at Wolstone.

Bevill family held the manor at Killigarth in Polperro Talland Parish in 1523, St Kew and a manor of Gwarnack in St Allen.  John Bevill, Sheriff  of Cornwall in 1495 and 1502 , lived at the manor house of Killigarth in  Talland parish near Polperro,.

Today 2003 Killigarth Manor is a holiday camp!

      The  Bevill family had connections with Woolston Manor near Bude . The most notorious incumbent of Woolston manor was the villainous John Beville  who in 1358 was tried for murder and only his position in society saved him.  His habit was to kidnap wealthy merchants, and imprison them until  a ransom was paid.

He may well have been  the  grand father of John Bevill whose daughter Margaret Bevill  married Edward Pomeroy in 1435

 Raph Bevill  married Jone Fitzwilliam.   They had at least 3 sons

         John Peter Beville,  Raymond  Beville & Ralph  Bevill

John Bevill  b 1360, son of Raph Bevill and Jone Fitzwilliam, of the manor of Wolstone, near Bude Died 1426

1st  married Margaret Collaton presumed to  have married circa 1381 - see below **

their daughter Margaret Bevill edb 1390 married Edward Pomeroy circa 1404

2nd he married Agnes Beaupayn circa 1407 . She was co heir of an extremely wealthy Bristol wool merchant Thomas Beaupayne

1 son Humphrey Beville

According to the Parliamentary website Beville’s personal relationships are also unclear.

** September 1381 Bishop Brantingham had issued a commission to hear a matrimonial cause brought against Beville by Margaret, daughter of Richard Coletone

The matter in dispute is not mentioned, though such cases usually involved disagreement over the validity of nuptials.

There was a pre-marriage settlement between John Beville & presumably Thomas Pomeroy, Edward's grandfather, made in 1404 and another settlement some 30 years later, in 1435, some 10 years after her father died in 1426, which is somewhat puzzling.

It seems to have been an arrangement made when she was very young.  Son  Henry was  30 when his father died in 1446 making his birth around 1414. She and Edward were cheated out of the title until after Sir Thomas died - He came from a cadet btanch and married Joanna Chudliegh, the daughter of Sir John without permission fromn the king. He, with Joanna's cousin & co heir John Cole  made many vexatious suits against Edward , even throwing him out of a window at one point . They seemed to have gone to live at Tregony whilst Thomas held sway and the two sides litigated against each other.

Edward and Margaret Pomeray request that a writ be directed to Thomas Pomeray to appear before the Duke on the quinzaine of Holy Trinity next to show why they should not be restored to their possession of the manor of Tregony.

Margaret outlived her husband and died in 1461  at Barkington in Staverton parish not far from Berry Pomeroy.

Her husband Edward inherited  the Barony of Pomeroy in 1426 then died in 1446. Margaret died at Berkerdon in Staverton near Totnes in 1461.

They had two sons of record Henry the heir who married Alice Raleigh and John who spouse was Joan and whose son  Robert married Elizabeth Beaumont who brought Ingsdon Manor to the Pomeroy family as her dowry.

                              

The grandson of a later Beville,  John Wydeslade, organised the rebellion  against the introduction of the  English prayer book in 1549.of which Sir Thomas Pomeroy was a part  Wyndeslade was defeated at the Battle of Cliftondown and  was executed at Tyburn.

Maud Bevill, the wife of Sir Richard Grenville of Buckland, Marshall of Calais under Henry VIII.,bred a race of heroes.

Her son was the bold sea-captain that "courted danger as a mistress," and matched his single ship against the whole Spanish fleet: her great-grandson was the Cavalier leader Sir Bevill Grenville and his brother the boldly brilliant military strategist,   Sir Richard Grenville the Kings General in the West . both of whom led the  fight again Cromwell.

The  defeat brought destruction of their manor  houses, unfortunately Wolstone amongst them, although the barton farm still exists calling itself Woolston Manor Farm. [barton being  OE  for home farm.    From the remains of the derelict manor, the present farmhouse was built around 1680. After being owned by a famous Cornish tin mining family, the Bassets of Tehidy, it eventually passed to Edward Mucklow in 1875.

Throughout the 20th century four  generations of the Bluett family owned Wolstone but gradually the old medieval buildings became unsuitable for modern farming and fell into disrepair.

A long running Land Dispute between Bevill and Worth  at Wolstone ~

Thomas Worth married Isabella Bevill daughter of Humphrey Bevill of Wolstone and there   was a dispute between them over lands at Wolstone.  Thomas Worth was son of Thomas Worth and Elizabeth Milliton

Declaration by Robert Spurway of Teverton, Devon, gentleman; that at the session of peers holden at Exeter after Michaelmas  Henry VI [1458] 

he endeavored to  persuade THOMAS WORTHE to agree to an equal partition with John Wynard of the  lands of HUMFEY BEVILE (a.k.a. Devile) in Wolston (or Wolveston or  Wolneston) as yet undivided.  Whereto the said Thomas agreed for his tyme with that Isabelle his wife [that they] wold thereto consent, [if] and  also that all deedis contayning the  inheritances of his owne descente whych  wer a little befor taken away by the said John might be first to him devised   again, upon which desire of deedis and of other thyngs the co-partyners   varied and departed in wrath in my presence and hearing.

The paper draft of the grant which should have settled this dispute appears in this exhibit as No. 28.22  1501 May 23

Certificate of John Brode, curate of   Mynster in the county of Cornwall, the freeholders of which parish are suitors to Edward lord Hastings by reason of the honour of Botreaux Castle   and Worthevale in the said parish, of which honour the manor of Wolston is   held, that on the Sunday before Whitsunday THOMAS WORTHE of Worthe in Devon,  esquire, came and prayed me in my parish church to examine my  parisshioners upon the name [of the said manor] to saie the trouth, Thay  enswearing me with oon vois said Wolston [that it was] not know[n]e by  that name Wolneston by any of [them who] can remember and that thay alle  praied me in ther behalf so to testiWe.

    THOMAS WORTH  the son , who was building on an already  extensive patrimony in neighbouring Devonshire. It sheds light on the type of  jury vote which was often employed to determine the ownership or tenurial   history of a piece of land. If the deeds held by Thomas described his lands  as lying in a place which no longer existed, as far as public opinion was concerned,   he might lose his right to them through the misnomer.

It is also a perfect  example of how place-names might change over time:  probably pronounced it Wooston  the pronunciations of the  original Wolneston or Wolviston had become  unrecognisable, since the locals thought of their manor as  Wolston  

         The dispute appears in the records of Harvard University.

There are two records which mention NICHOLAS de la Pomeroy and Margaret Beville spouse of Sir Edward grandson son of the 5th son Thomas , one of the five sons of Henry Pomeroy & his wife Johanna Moels .
