MANNERS

Notes: Constable of Norham. He obtained a grant of land in Berrington, Northumberland, in 1329, and petitioned the King for Learmouth on account of his own and his father’s services in the Scottish wars in 1331. A curious letter of 1333 from the Bishop of Durham to the council, referring to his jurisdiction over Norham, mentions Manners as constable, and seems to mark an earlier date than 1345, which is usually assigned to his appointment. Manners was a rough border soldier. He was ordered to give up two hostages whom he illegally detained in 1333. In 1340 he was M.P. for Northumberland, and in 1341 he aided Lord Grey of Warke in stopping a raid of the Earl of Sutherland. In 1342 he was allowed to embattle Etal in Northumberland, and thus founded the influence of his family in that district. Etal Castle started out as a three-storey tower house, but its location near the border with Scotland made it vulnerable to attack. In 1341, the owner, Robert Manners, was granted a licence to fortify his home. He created a roughly square courtyard enclosed by curtain walls, with the tower house in one corner and a large gatehouse diagonally opposite and a tower at each of the other corners. The tower house was improved with the addition of another storey and crenellations. A Chapel dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary was founded at Etal in 1345 by Sir Robert Manners. This chapel was situated on the bank of the River Till some quarter-mile downstream of the village. He arranged the truce with David Bruce the same year, and when the Scots invaded England, in alliance with the French, in 1346, he took part in the battle of Neville’s Cross. He seems to have died in 1355, as in that year the custody of Etal was given to the Lethams, who were afterwards, in the interest of the heir, accused of wasting it. Sir Robert’s wives were Margaret and a certain Ada. The pedigree is differently stated, possibily because of the two seats of the family, but it is certain that his heir was John Manners, who was born in 1355. Possibly John was a grandson of Sir Robert.

Bridget MANNERS

Died: 24 Jul 1604

Buried: Bigby Church

Notes: went to court at the age of thirteen to be one of Queen Elizabeth's maids of honor. This was a good appointment, especially since at this age Bridget's only accomplishment was her ability to play the lute. Her mother was reluctant even to buy her the appropriate clothes; but the Bridget Hussey, Countess of Bedford, who had been the wife of the second Earl of Rutland, her grand father, and after whom lady Bridget was named, was so charmed with Bridget that she decided to sponsor the girl in spite of her deficient education. To make a long story short, although Bridget's family persisted in believing that she would disgrace them all, the Countess of Bedford's confidence in her proved justified; Bridget eventually became the Queen's carver, a post of high honor. Thus her patron protected her interests much more objectively and much more strongly than Bridget's own mother would have. Had the girl remained at home, she have remained ignorant, uneducated, and unmarriageable.

Roger MANNERS of Whitwell (Sir Knight)

Born: ABT 1575, Haddon Hall, Derbyshire, England

Acceded: 2 Jun 1615, Theobalds

Died: 17 Jul 1632 / 1650, Haddon Hall, Derbyshire, England

Notes: Unmarried. In the grant of Richard de Lovetot "of the mill of Manton, &c.," it is added, also, "the whole of Sloswick". This is another hamlet, far distant on the west side of the town, near Welbeck. The name of this place again suggests an early settlement from Daneland, the first residents having transferred to this place a designation from their native country. Nothing is known of the intermediate history of this place till the 27 of Queen Elizabeth, who, among other things, granted it to Roger Manners and his heirs. Roger resided at the Hall at Whitwell, and was buried in the north transept of that church, where his monument still remains, with a quaint, laudatory inscription. Sloswick afterwards became the property of the Dukes of Portland, and was exchanged by them for other property with the Duke of Norfolk. It thus became part of the Worksop Manor estate, with which it passed by purchase to the Duke of Newcastle. The photos of his tomb at Whitwell church were taken by Wayne Gascoigne, you can see his beautyfull page at www.whitwell.com.
