  Property	1542	Sandridgebury, Sandridge, Hertfordshire, England   [2]
  	Alban shared Sandridgebury with his brother William Thrale, after inheriting from brother Thomas Thrale. The Rowlatts, Ralph and his son, Sir Ralph, in their conflict with the Thrales, made the case, in Chancery that before the Dissolution of the Monastery of St. Albans the abbot had granted a forty-year lease of Sandridgebury, and of Napsbury to Robert Thrale the younger. When Sir Ralph Rowlatt inherited the properties in 1542, he was not able to find the abbot's part of the lease and therefore did not know what covenants Robert Thrale the younger had entered into regarding the farm, nor for certain the length of the lease. Sir Ralph asked the executor of Robert Thrale's will, the Reverend Henry Kyrke, to produce therefore their part of the lease. Then in further action Sir Ralph claimed that the Reverend Kyrke as executor, and trustee of Sandridgebury Farm until Robert's sons Thomas and Alban had reached the age of 21, had granted all his interests in the property to him. But Alice Fitz, the widow of Robert Thrale the elder, had entered Sandridgebury without any right and would not give it up. Alice in her turn replied that Robert Thrale the younger's widow Jane had died shortly after him, and that the Reverend Kyrke assigned the property to her, Alice, in trust for her grand-children. How the matter turned out is not really known, but the Thrales continued to live at Sandridgebury for a further four generations.
