was indeed fantastic. Robert Penn had two brothers John and Thomas. The former sold the Manors of Codicote and Sisseverne to his brother Thomas in 1625 who conveyed them about 1659 to George Poyner, citizen and merchant of London, who built a faire House in the Manor of Codicote with convenient stables and outhouses, and died about the year 1670. This house is undoubtedly the red-bricked Codicote Bury.28

The other sister of Richard Thrale Mary had married Onslow Teddar, member of a family which illustrates well the migration of people from time to time. In the sixteenth century quite a few Welsh families came to the Hatfield area due to the advent of the Welsh Tudors to the English throne, and these families also brought along their various retainers. The Onslows had come from Salop or Shropshire, and two Tidders (Tydder or Tudor) were in service to the family at Hatfield. Onslow, in his will, rewarded the Tydders with generous legacies of money and property in Hatfield, one of whom was Thomas Tydder. His two sons were Fulk who was to become Rector of Tewin, and Onslow Tydder.29

Besides having Mary Teddar and Sarah Penn as sisters, Richard Thrale - and it is really rather surprising how little is known of him - had another sister Elizabeth and another brother John who farmed Fairfolds. Obviously a bachelor, John left Fairfolds to John the eldest son of his brother Richard provided he paid his father regular sums of money. Another of Richard's sons, Thomas, also under twenty-one, is mentioned together with two sisters Martha and Sarah. It is thought by some that Thomas farmed Fairfolds for his elder brother who was following a merchant's career well away from Sandridge and that he was the father of the 'Lomax named' children baptised at Fairfolds, but one cannot be certain of this. John of Fairfolds also mentioned his cousins the Wrayes, his sister Sarah Penn, the Brockes and Everetts, and also Robert Thrale son of Thomas Thrale, deceased, late of Hammonds, who received the bay gelding. William Marston, one of the principal Burgesses of the Borough of St. Albans' was a joint overseer, and the two overseers were commissioned in 1671 to administer the goods and credits of the deceased during the minority of John Thrale, the nephew and executor.30 The aforementioned Robert Thrale of the Hammonds branch had married very late in life Alice Dixon in 1694, dying in 1696 'an ancient man'.31 His widow Alice died in 1704 leaving two cottages in Sandridge Street to her kinswoman Alice Lawrence.32 At this time allied families were the Cogdells, Peads, Dixons, Everetts, and Turners.
