Notes
General:
Stained Glass in Somerset reads:
"DODINGTON HALL. The Great Hall. 1 Sable, three bugle horns
stringed argent, for Dodington, impaling Sable, a bend or between six
fountains, for Stourton. 2. Gules, crusilly fitchee a lion rampant argent,
for Warre, impaling a coat now lost and made up with fragments of
fifteenth-century glass. Date C. 1450.
Coloured drawings of this glass in the Braikenridge Collection in Taunton
castle show that it was originally in the church. They show also that the
Dodington and Stourton arms are parts of two different shields.
Room off the Great Hall. 1. Dodington. 2. Or, on a bend sable three pikes
argent, for Hewish. John, son and heir of John Dodington, is said to have
married Elizabeth, daughter of Oliver Hewish of Doniford, c. 1485. The
shields are of about this date. The Hewish family of Doniford more usually
shows Argent, on a bend sable three pikes of the field, but here the field
is stained yellow."
I do not recall that anything I have in my Huish material links directly to
the Dodington line and, predictably, there is nothing much in the pedigree I
have beyond the following in the SANHS pedigree:
"IX.OLIVER HEWISH, of Doniford, 30 Henry VI (1455). He married Johanna,
daughter and coheir of John Avenell, of Blackpoole, in the parish of
Southmolton, in the county of Devon.
NOTE: The pedigree of Huysh in the Visitation of Somerset, and that in Mr
Palmer's MS. in the Dowager Lady Acland's possession at Bath, state that
Oliver Huysh married Johanna, daughter and heir of Richards. This appears to
be an error arising from a family of Richards, of Somersetshire and Devon,
having borne the arms of Avenell. It is probable that they adopted them in
consequence of the marriage of their ancestor Edward Richards, with Eleanor,
one of the daughters and coheirs of John Avenell, of Loxbeare in Devon.
Edward Richards died, it appears, by inquisition, 10th Oct., 5 Henry VIII
(1514).
The statement in the text is in accordance with the old family pedigree
found at Sand, which calls her coheir of Avenell with her sisters, wives of
Weekes (of Wykes), and Holcombe: this is corroborated by the pedigrees of
Weekes of Wykes, and those of Holcombe, and by the following Inquisitions
post mortem.
Richard Wykes, of North Wykes, county of Devon, married Elizabeth, daughter
and coheir of John Avenell of Blackpoole. By inquisition taken after the
death of his son, William Wykes, who died last day of March, 14 Henry VIII
(1523), it appears that he held a third of Blackpoole, under the manor of
Warkley.
Roger Holcombe married Margaret, another coheir. By inquisition taken after
the death of Margaret Holcombe, who died 7th April, 15 Henry VII (1502), it
appears she held a third of Blackpoole of the Bourchiers, Lords of the
Manor of Warkley. Her son, Charles Holcombe died 2nd January, 19 Henry VIII
(1528), and also among other lands, held a third of Blackpoole.
No positive proof has been found that Johanna, wife of Oliver Huyshe,
inherited a third of Blackpoole, as one of the three coheiresses, but
Risdon, on Southmolton (p. 307, ed. 1811), says, "Blackpoole is a tything of
Molton, where Pollard, Gambon and Huish held lands; some are of opinion that
a manor divided between coheirs, each of them hath a manor." This shews
that the manor of Blackpoole was divided into three shares by the marriage
of coheiresses, and that one share continued in the name of Huish, after
those of Wykes and Holcombe were lost.
Oliver Hewish had issue (1) Oliver; (2) Elizabeth, wife of John Dodington of
Dodington: (3) Anne, wife of Alexander Vernie, son by the third wife of John
Vernie, of Fairfield, county of Somerset. "
(the Note continues but I've gone back to IX Oliver Hewish in order to give
the context. Doniford is but a few miles NW of Dodington)
