Thrale history

ASTWICK, BEDFORDSHIRE, ENGLAND


 


Tree: UK Thrale family

Notes:

Held by Ralph Thrale (1564-c.1648) from at least 1605 (recorded as holding 180 acres here in 1630) and after his death, by his wife Elizabeth Grunwyn and then by nephew John Thrale.
Sir Nicholas Hare was at Astwick during the time of Henry VIII by whom he was imprisoned in the Tower of London for a time. Later he was Master of the Rolls under Queen Mary, and acted for the Crown in various prosecutions, one against Sir Nicholas Throckmorton for 'imagining the Queen's death'. He died in 1557 and the second son Robert became a noted antiquary, although often having to skirt around trouble as a suspected papist. Having no direct descendent, Astwick was conveyed by Trustee to Ralph Thrale, after whom the next owner was William Grunwyn, and Ralph Thrale as reported earlier had married Elizabeth Grunwyn. Grunwyn was sold to an ironmonger of Luton called Deyes, whose son sold it to Sir Henry Tulse, a Lord Mayor of London in 1684. At his death he was succeeded by his daughter Elizabeth, the wife of Sir Richard Onslow, created Lord Onslow in 1716 by George I, and yet again a family previously involved in Thrale affairs. From the Onslow family, the Manor passed into the hands of the Marlboroughs, Salmon, one of the County historians reported that Duchess Sarah was holding Astwick in 1721.
