MAYNE families of BUCKINGHAMSHIRE: Wing, Creslow, Dinton, Hoggeston, Stewkley & Hartwell
INTRODUCTION
The material below is the story (in descendant pedigree format) of three Mayne families of Bucks:

Mayne of Wing, Creslow, Dinton & Hoggeston Mayne of Stewkley Mayne of Hartwell

From page: 3 From page: 47 From page: 62

It is organised for each family in turn into three main parts, with occasional articles, as follows:-

Descendant Pedigree with illustrated notes on each individual of the family. Index of individuals in the pedigree. Sources. List of the main research sources used (before web sources were available). (Articles about the family in general or particular characters in it are occasionally included)
These pedigrees have been researched and compiled as part of a one-name study of the MAYNE surname which was published by David Gore on CD in 2007 [ISBN: 9780953091218]. The following provided material or in other ways supported the study: John Mayne, Rosemary Farrell-Hutchings in England, Stella Little, Martha OGrady and Brian MacDonald in Ireland, Jillian Fisher, Dell Mayne and Robert Harden Scott in Australia, and Brian Mayne in Japan.

MAYNE of BUCKINGHAMSHIRE
13th & 14th CENTURIES During these years there were Mayne families established in the area south-west of Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire, England. They seem to have been freeholders living around Marsh, Kimble, Aylesbury and Stone. In the MSS at Hartwell House, adjacent to the village of Stone, there is mention of some of them [Reference: Delafield Family History (Society of Genealogists library, London)]. The examples below mostly relate to the Manor of Stone :Nov 1291. Thomas Mayn attached by a sickle for damage done in the meadow. 22 Feb 1329. Thomas Mayn charged with trespass in the lord's corn with 2 heifers. 1329. Thomas with wife Joan required to show his title deeds at a Hartwell court. 1340, 43, 44, 46. William Mayn fined for trespass at Stone. 1344, 45. Robert Mayn fined for trespass at Stone. 1352. John Mayn fined for trespass at Stone. 15th to 18th CENTURIES Late in the 15th century the Mayne name appears again near the village of Wing, about seven miles north-east of Aylesbury, in the persons of John and Christian Mayne of Ascott (originally Askett), a hamlet just east of Wing. [Reference: Harleian Society MSS 1563, Folio 153] This John Mayne of Ascott near Wing, who would have been born about 1480, was the progenitor of a large family which survived in Buckinghamshire at least into the middle of the 18 th century, as shown in detail here, and probably much later. In the County this family were centred on Wing, Creslow, Hoggeston on the north side of Aylesbury, and on Dinton to the south. Branches of it overlapped into Hertfordshire at Bovingdon and into Warwickshire at Elmdon. These Maynes were not only farmers but some were owners of property. The extent of their wealth, in contrast to the Mayne freeholders of two hundred years before, is reflected in some of the manor houses and land that at various times they leased or had an interest :Chesham, Bucks Chilton Creslow Cuddington Dinton Haddenham Hoggeston Horton Hughenden Ivinghoe Marsworth Mentmore, Bucks Stewkley Upper Winchendon Waddesdon Whitchurch Wing Bournehall, Herts Bovingdon, Herts Westbrook Hay, Herts Elmdon, Warwickshire

During this period Maynes appeared again in the 16 th century records of Stone and Hartwell, farming on land rented from the Hampden family. Another Mayne family lived around Winslow and the hamlets north-west of that village, settling in Stewkley, north-west of Wing, early in the 19th century. It seems probable that the Hartwell and the Winslow-Stewkley Maynes were all part of the same family of Wing, Creslow and Hoggeston, but we have been unable to link them. As a result the pedigrees of these two family lines are shown separately in two additional sections of this pedigree.

EARLY UNCONFIRMED HISTORICAL LINKS

We have been unable to discover the origin and antecedants of John Mayne of Wing. The late Mr Gurney of Aylesbury, whose Gurney family is related to the Maynes of Wing, Creslow and Hoggeston, made notes in the Bucks Archaeological Society edition of "The Visitation of Buckinghamshire 1634 (Mayne of Dinton)". His notes indicate that he thought that John Mayne of Wing had a BROTHER: 'Nicholas Mayne of Ascott'. Other sources give this John Mayne of Wing: A FATHER - 'John Mayne of Abingdon, Berkshire' who was "attainted for high treason 1490" and lived at some time in the "Parish of Shipton-under-Wychwood, Oxfordshire". Another BROTHER - 'Hugh Mayne of Abingdon, Berkshire' against whose name it is recorded that the family's good name was "restored in 1496" (i.e. presumably the Bill of Attainder against his father was rescinded in that year). It has not been possible to confirm the validity of these links which are therefore not included here. Page 3

Arms granted to Bennett Mayne 1604

(1) 1 John Mayne of Ascott, Wing, Bucks ---------------------------------------Birth: ca 1480

(1) = Generation number

This John Mayne of Ascott (originally 'Askett'), near Wing in the County of Buckinghamshire, England, was the earliest progenitor of the Maynes of Creslow, Hoggeston and Dinton, Buckinghamshire, of which we have certain knowledge. Reference: Harleian Society MSS 1563, Folio 153. Ascott or Askett House, in which John Mayne and Christian may have lived, was adjacent to the medieval hamlet of Lower Askett (south-east of the present village of Wing), where its original gardens and ornamental pond can still be seen. The old house was burned down during the Civil War and the current half-timbered Ascott House was built on a different site nearby in the 19 th century, incorporating a farmhouse built in 1606. This new house was bought by the Rothschild family in 1873, and in 1949 they gave it to the National Trust.

Spouse:

Christian King

Daughter of John King.

Children:

John (ca1500-?1558) William? Richard (-1598)

The Saxon church of All Saints, Wing, near Ascott. The apse is at this end. All Saints Church at Wing, in which John Mayne and his family worshipped, is of particular interest as it is one of only a few Saxon churches in Britain that have survived. The Saxon walls of the nave and chancel, and underneath them the Saxon crypt (7th century) and the polygonal apse above it (picture), provide a wonderful glimpse of England more than 1000 years ago before William the Conqueror arrived.

HOGGESTON lies half a mile east of the A413 Whitchurch-Winslow road. It is now no more than a hamlet with a little Norman church and an 18th century rectory, which stand inside ancient earthworks. Beyond the pale it has "a perfect Jacobean manor house" which is now a farm "with gables and graceful chimneys". It was probably the Maynes of Hoggeston who built it, and almost certain that in this old house, generations of their large families, many listed below, were brought up.

St Peter & St Paul, Hoggeston, where six generations of the Mayne family worshipped Hoggeston's Norman church of St Peter & St Paul is also referred to as "the Church of the Holy Cross" (possibly an earlier name: it has an old stone cross built into a wall). The 16th century bell turret, with a 14th century stone head built into a wall, has a modern shingled broach spire supported inside on massive chestnut timbers. The arcades are 13th and 14th century. Two of the doorways are 600 years old, and the newest porch is Tudor. There is Norman masonry in the Chancel wall and the font, which dates from 1400, will have had twenty generations of children christened in it - the Maynes of Hoggeston among them. Page 5

The interior of Hoggeston church, with its font which dates from 1400 Mayne Memorials. There are memorials inside the church to six generations of the family. On the south aisle stands the fine 1599 stone and marble altar tomb of Elizabeth Mayne, the first wife of John Mayne of Ascott's grandson Joseph. Other Mayne memorials which have been identified are:1608. A brass to Thomas Mayne, John's son, who died that year. 1659. Commemoration slab (badly worn) in the floor of the north aisle to Thomas Mayne, John's great great grandson. 1695. A slab in the floor of the south aisle to Elizabeth Mayne, wife of William (the brother of Thomas above). 1707/8. A slab in the north aisle to William Mayne, husband of Elizabeth (d.1695) above. 1717. Inscription to Edward Mayne 1676-1717, son of William (d.1707/8) above [Not found]. 1742/1747. A floor slab to William Mattes Mayne and his wife Mary who died five years after him. 1767. Floor slab to Philippa Mayne, sister of William Matt Mayne above.

Hoggeston Manor. "A perfect Jacobean manor house" which is now a farm "with gables and graceful chimneys". It was probably the Maynes of Hoggeston who built it, and it is certain that generations of their large families were brought up here.

(4) 1.1.1.6 Thomas Mayne of Wing ---------------------------------------Birth: 1576 Bapt: 1576, Hoggeston, Bucks In 1642 Thomas Mayne at Wing is recorded as contributing 10 shillings for the help of those suffering as a result of the Irish rebellion of 1641. Another Thomas of Wing, possibly his son, contributed 3 shillings. Page 7

(4) 1.1.1.7 John Mayne ---------------------------------------Birth: 1580 Bapt: 1580, Hoggeston, Bucks His elder brother John died in 1573, thus this (fourth) son was called after him - a frequent way of naming children of the time. (3) 1.1.2 Bennett (or Benedict) Mayne of Creslow, Bucks ---------------------------------------Death: 1609 Burial: 1609, Hoggeston, Bucks CRESLOW PASTURES. Bennett took over the lease of house and pastures of Creslow in 1596 for 21 years. Creslow was then a Crown property of 886 acres (47 acres of arable land and the rest grass) providing high quality food for the Royal household. It had been a 14th century manor which, until the dissolution of the monasteries, was owned by the Knights Hospitallers. It lies beside the A413 road to the north of Whitchurch, a couple of miles south of Hoggeston. The pastures were never split up or stripcultivated, but were kept mainly to raise beasts for the royal household from the time of the Tudors until the Civil War. One field alone was over 300 acres. In receiving the lease of Creslow from the Queen in 1596, Bennett Mayne thus became 'an Officer of Her Household'. In 1604 Bennett's son Joseph was granted the lease of the Manor (known as "Creslow Pastures") in reversion for a term of 30 years. Bennett died in 1609. In 1635, on expiry of Joseph Mayne's tenure, the pastures were granted to Cornelius Holland. Cornelius was an unscrupulous louse! His father had been imprisoned for debt leaving Cornelius as a poor boy at court. King Charles I helped him by giving him several "posts of honour" and, as a result, he became Member of Parliament for New Windsor in 1640. However in 1649 he was one of those that signed the King's death warrant, and the following year he bought the house and Closes of Creslow from trustees for the sale of the dead King's lands. On the restoration of the monarchy in 1660, Cornelius was attainted for high treason, fled the country and forfeited Creslow back to the Crown. The same year Edward Mayne, Bennett's grandson, asked to be restored to the tenancy of Creslow Pastures. He was rejected and instead the Pastures were granted to an Edward Backwell. [There is an unlikely alternative tale that Cornelius Holland returned and in 1662 was granted Creslow for a further 18 years!] Ref: "Victoria County History: Buckinghamshire (3) 1925" (Cottesloe Hundred - Creslow pp.335-338).

Photo next page. CRESLOW MANSION HOUSE c.1847 - East view. (West view: page 17) . The Manor House, once the home of the Keeper of the Royal Pastures, is of great antiquity. It is one of the oldest surviving domestic buildings in England. At its heart is a house of the early 14th century (circa 1330) with walls of squared limestone six feet thick. Of particular interest are the vaulted crypt, the remains of the roof of the Great Hall, the ancient octagonal tower and stair-turret, and the traceried/mullioned windows. Over the centuries, major alterations and rearrangements have occurred. In the first half of the 17th century (circa 1610 - in Joseph Mayne's time) the Great Hall was divided into two storeys, the main oak staircase inserted and an attic added to the tower, with other changes made to the interior of the house. The north end of the building including part of the Great Hall was pulled down in the 19th century to build the north-east drawing room. Below the dairy is a 14th century crypt, now used as a cellar about 12 feet square, built with stone, finely groined. It is supported by arches with groins at their intersections with elaborately carved flowers. [A chapel with some 12th century detail and two 13th century windows (and, it is said by Arthur Mee, a Norman doorway) used to stand on the north-west side of the house, but when it ceased to be used after Elizabeth's time it became a dovecot, a cow barn and store and is no more. See "St John the Evangelist, Whitchurch" below.] Ref: "Royal Commission on Historical Monuments - Bucks" (Creslow) 1911. Page 8

St JOHN THE EVANGELIST, WHITCHURCH. This church in the neighbouring village to Creslow took over its parishioners when the Creslow chapel closed in about 1558 after Queen Elizabeth came to the throne. Whitchurch registers therefore include Creslow from that time. However the record shows that Creslow parishioners denied "the right of the Vicar of Whitchurch to tithes etc." and, although Creslow inhabitants buried their dead at Whitchurch, exceptions were granted. In particular it seems that Bennett and other Creslow Maynes were allowed to be buried among their relations at Hoggeston - and presumably to worship there also. Ref: "History & Antiquities of the County Of Bucks" by G Lipscomb, 1847.

ARMS granted to "Bennet Mayne of Crestow" in June 1604: The field ermine on a plain bend sable, three dexter hands couped at the wrist, argent; the crest is a right hand couped proper between two wings ermine. Page 9

It is interesting that on the 1628 tomb of Simon(1) and Colubery Mayne at Dinton the Mayne side of the Arms are almost precisely those of Bennet Mayne (described above) - acknowledging that the Creslow and Dinton Maynes were one and the same family. The same shield with a different crest, carved circa 1773, appears on the Mayne vault at Dartrey, Co. Monaghan, Ireland, suggesting that the Bucks and Irish Maynes are linked - confirmed also by the inscription on the Mayne vault at Dartrey. See http://www.scribd.com/doc/75988391/ pages 77-78. Ref: Burke's "General Armoury" & Fairbairn's "Book of Crests" 1892. The Arms are also described in "Visitation of Buckinghamshire 1634" (Harleian Society Vol.58, page 90). (3) 1.1.2 Bennett (or Benedict) Mayne of Creslow, Bucks (continued from page 8) ---------------------------------------Spouse: Death: Burial: Marr: Children: Jane Sandford (or Statham) of Berkshire 1602 1602, Hoggeston, Bucks 1562, St Peter & St Paul, Hoggeston Joseph (1568->1635) John (1570->1626) William (ca1572->1615)

(4) 1.1.2.1a Joseph Mayne of Creslow, Bucks* ---------------------------------------Birth: 1568 Death: aft 1635, age: 67 Bapt: 1568, Hoggeston, Bucks (IGI) Occ: Keeper of Creslow Pastures 1604-35; Sergeant at Arms to Lord Treasurer Burleigh. Joseph took over the lease of Creslow Manor House and Pastures from his father Bennett in 1604 for a period of 30 years (Bennett died in 1609). Creslow Pastures were next leased in 1635 to the unscrupulous Cornelius Holland who, despite the favours granted to him by Charles I was among those who signed his death warrant in 1649.

The 14th century stone crypt. The roof is supported by arches with groins at their intersections with elaborately carved flowers.

Joseph Mayne is also noted as having been "Sergeant at Arms to Lord Treasurer Burleigh" although no detail of this appointment has been found. A Joseph Mayne (who had a son John) leased nearby Stewkley Manor 1608-19. It is presumed this was Joseph of Creslow. In 1619 Joseph leased Stewkley to a William Deane for 51 years. Fast forward to 1631 when William Deane, Joseph and his son John Mayne are all dead and John's widow Dorothy Mayne has a legal dispute over the tenure of Stewkley with William Deane's daughter Dorothy Deane and the executor (F. Whorwood) of her father's Will. The outcome is not known. [This does indicate that the Maynes of Stewkley (only 3 miles from Hoggeston), who were present there in the17th century, were part of the Hoggeston/Creslow family. It possibly follows that the Maynes who we know lived in Stewkley in the late 18th and throughout the 19th century were their descendants, although so far no confirming link has been found.] Page 10

(4) 1.1.2.1a Joseph Mayne of Creslow, Bucks* (continued from previous page) ---------------------------------------Spouse: Birth: Death: Burial: Elizabeth Blythe of Great Warley, Essex 1580, ?Great Warley, Essex 24 8 1599, age: 19 1599, Hoggeston, Bucks (Altar Tomb), age: 19

Elizabeth was the daughter of Francis Blythe of Great Warley, Essex. The first wife of Joseph Mayne of Creslow, she died aged only 19 in childbirth, the child stillborn, and was buried under an altar tomb of stone and marble in the south aisle of the church of St Peter & St Paul, Hoggeston. On the stone and marble tomb, which has on it the Arms of Mayne and Blythe and traces of colour, a sad little verse is inscribed :"A fayre and vertuous wife, Whome once the husband held most deere, Dead in the flower of her age, Doth lye entombed here."

Elizabeths tomb at the end of the south aisle.

Elizabeth Blythe was said to have had two sons in her short marriage. There appears also to have been a daughter Elizabeth. (Elizabeths name was at one time included among the children of Joseph Mayne's second wife. But without counting Elizabeth, she bore 7 children in no more than 13 years marriage - Ref: Warwickshire Antiquarian Magazine 1860 Part II).

The Hoggeston Registers have a record of "Ellan Mayne" marrying William Webb at Hoggeston in 1635. This may be the second marriage of the widow of Alexander Mayne who had died in 1626. Six years later in 1641, the Record shows the death at Hoggeston of "Helena Mayne" (widow). We are aware of no other Ellyn or similar name in these Maynes at that time and conclude that both the marriage and death records above apply to Alexander's widow, Ellyn Houlgat.

This Richard Mayne also appears as 'Robert' in some sources. He is mentioned in the Hertfordshire Subsidy Rolls of 1545, assessed as 16 shillings on his goods. In 1550 he and a John Haulsey acquired three messuages, lands and rent in Berkhamsted St Peter & Northchurch. That year Richard also acquired further lands for himself alone in the same area and at Great Gaddesden. Richard made his (verbal) Will 2 April 1598. Richards Bovingdon estate went to his eldest son, Henry Mayne 1547-1604/5, and thence to Henrys eldest son, James 1575-1624/5. Spouse: Elizabeth Bradshaw

Elizabeth Bradshaw was the daughter of William Bradshaw of Wendover and Alice (or Agnes), youngest daughter and co-heir of a lawyer, Thomas Gurney of Halton & East Marsh (died 1480). Elizabeth was also the sister of Henry Bradshaw of Halton. [Ref: Gurney's Notes]. Elizabeth is also referred to as the daughter of "widow Agnes Pym", so Alice (or Agnes) Bradshaw must have married and buried a second husband.

He was Sheriff of Buckinghamshire in 1614. Simon had made his Will in 1612 and probate was granted in 1617. In 1617, the year of his death, Simon(1)s family completed the purchase of land at Upper Winchendon from Sir Francis Goodwin. In 1623, Simon's widow, Colubery, was "engaged in a Chancery suit" (ie. a legal dispute in Chancery) with Sir Francis over this land. DINTON MANOR: Simon(1) purchased Dinton Manor, in 1604 from Francis Verney, and is said to have moved into Dinton Hall two years later (about the time that Simon's future wife Colubery Beke was widowed). However Gurney had a Deed showing that Simon was still "of Bovingdon" in 1608. Simon and his descendants owned and lived in Dinton Hall for about 123 years until this Simon(1)'s great grandson, Simon(4), sold it to John Vanhattem in 1727.

DINTON HALL (South front): Said to have been mostly built by Archbishop Warham in the 16th century, Dinton Hall now has few traces of work from that period. This large mansion has undergone so many alterations and additions that it exhibits many different phases of architecture in the one building. The solidly built walls of the west end (above left) are evidence of an ancient date, while the north front (below) with its gable ends, mullioned windows, and noble chimney shafts must date from about King James I. The stone corbelling in the cellar may even be 600 years old. Dinton Hall (North front) below:

An indication of the importance of the house and its occupants is the large round 16th century dovecot in the garden which once provided winter meat for the privileged (the dovecot is listed Grade II - yet is partly in ruins!). In the house there are various relics of the Civil War period including the sword given by Cromwell to his friend Simon(2) Mayne, and a heavy leather shoe worn by Simon(2)'s clerk, John Bigg, 'the Dinton Hermit'.

DINTON CHURCH: Alongside Dinton Hall is the 800 year old Norman church of St Peter & St Paul with its magnificently decorated south doorway. Here the Maynes are buried. There is a fine brass of Simon(1), in armour with top-boots and spurs, with his wife Colubery and their two children, Simon(2), aged about 16, and his sister, Colubery, which dates to 1628. In 1661, Simon(2)'s body was brought for burial at Dinton from the Tower of London where he had been imprisoned.

She was the daughter of Richard Lovelace of Hurley-on-Thames, Berkshire, the sister of the first Lord Richard Lovelace, and the widow of Richard Beke of Whiteknights in Berkshire who died in 1606 (Richard Beke's father, another Richard, had been Chief Equerry to Queen Elizabeth I). Sir Richard Lovelace, Colubery's brother, who was Knighted in 1599 for his service in the Dublin wars, was a strong Royalist: he brought 40 horses to King Charles I when he raised his standard at Nottingham in 1642 at the start of the Civil War. He would not have looked kindly upon his nephew, Simon(2) Mayne, who soon after was instrumental in the execution of the King. By her first husband Richard Beke, Colubery already had eight children (5 sons and 3 daughters). Her eldest son and heir Richard Beke, died before her, aged 31 in 1627. She had two children by Simon(1) Mayne. Page 27

In 1623, Colubery was engaged in a Chancery Suit (dispute) over land at Upper Winchendon that her husband had bought in 1617 from Sir Francis Goodwin. Colubery made a complicated Will 18 July 1628 in which she tried equably to look after her nine surviving children by her two marriages, and her four grandchildren. The Will was contested by her two youngest children, Simon(2) Mayne and Colubery Bulstrode, and by six of her seven surviving Beke children (Henry, Marmaduke, William, James, Elizabeth, Anne). On the other side were Sara Beke and her husband Alexander Croke, the Executors, who did not contest the Will. The application failed and probate was granted to the Executors, Sara and Alexander.

Dinton Hall where he hid in a secret room to escape arrest

Simon(2) was Member of Parliament for Aylesbury, Bucks, a friend of Cromwell and a regicide. He sat in judgement when the King was tried and was among those who signed his death warrant. When the monarchy (Charles II) was restored in 1660, he hid in a secret place at his home Dinton Hall, but was discovered and arrested. He went to the Tower of London where he became ill ("from gout with fever and convulsion fits") and died there in 1661. His estates were forfeited to the Crown. However his son succeeded in recovering Dinton [see Simon(3)]. In 1641, the year of his wife's death, Simon(2), his sister-in-law Anne Mayne of Elmdon, Warwickshire, and the Dinton servants are recorded as contributing 10, 1-6-8d and 1-13-0d respectively for the help of those suffering as a result of the Irish rebellion of that year. Dinton Hall still stands and among the relics of the Civil War period which are kept there is Cromwell's sword which he gave to his friend Simon(2) Mayne after one of the battles of the war probably in 1642 after Edgehill, although Naseby is mentioned.

A Sketch Pedigree of the Maynes of Dinton Hall

Four generations of Simon Maynes owned Dinton Hall and the manor estate. The family descend from the Maynes of Ascott in the parish of Wing, Bucks in the 15th century and in 1604 they purchased Dinton from Francis Verney and finally sold it 123 years later to John Vanhattem. The second Simon Mayne (whose uncle was a leading Royalist) was one of the conspirators who brought about the execution of the King for which he was imprisoned in the Tower of London, where he died, and his estates were forfeited to the Crown.

A bronze statue of John Hampden 1594-1643 by Henry Fehr. Nearby is The Kings Head, a late medieval coaching inn with a stable yard and gateway where Cromwell stayed on his visits to the town. The inn has been restored by the National Trust and is open as a restaurant (Tel: 01296-334590). The County Museum is in Church Street.

A large obelisk to the memory of John Hampden who was killed in a skirmish there on 18th June 1643. His early death was a grievous loss to the Parliamentary cause.

Hampden House (SP848024) Owned by Hampden Insurance, Tel: 01494-488888.

A medieval house several times remodelled over the years, the exterior is marred by 18th century crenellations and stucco. The renovation of this ancient building by the present owners has recently been completed. It was the home of John Hampden, Cromwells cousin and one of Pyms closest political allies in the Long Parliament, who the King attempted to arrest in 1642. Memorials to the Hampdens can be seen in the adjoining church of St Mary Magdalene.

Another memorial to John Hampden with an inscription commemorating his refusal to pay Ship Money in 1635 - By resisting the claim of the King in legal strife he upheld the right of the people under the law and became entitled to grateful remembrance. From here there is a nice view across Hampden Bottom.

Dinton Hall (SP766110) Privately owned.

This great red brick mansion, remodelled in the 16th century, was the home of the Maynes of Dinton for 123 years. Simon Mayne, the regicide, was born here in 1612 and died in the Tower of London in 1661. In the house there are various relics of that time including the sword given by Cromwell to his friend Simon Mayne, and a heavy leather shoe worn by Simons clerk, John Bigg, the Dinton Hermit. Alongside Dinton Hall is the 800 year old Norman church of St Peter & St Paul where the Maynes are buried. There is a fine brass of Simons father in armour with top-boots and spurs with his wife Colubery and their two children, Simon aged about 16 and his sister Colybery (Page 30).

John Bigg, the Dinton Hermit (Left) on an inn sign near Dinton Hall. Once he was Maynes clerk and fellow conspirator and, as the axe and skull on the sign indicates, he was at the end named as being King Charles executioner. After that Bigg suffered from PTSD and became an eccentric vagrant and beggar, dressing himself entirely in leather and living in a cave at Dinton. (Right) One of Biggs leather shoes and the needle he used to stitch his clothes, lies on a table at Dinton Hall beyond the sword and scabbard which Cromwell gave to Simon Mayne when he stayed with him after one of the battles of the Civil War

Waldridge Manor House (SP782073) Privately owned.

The present house incorporates what was the home of Sir Richard (Honest Dick) Ingoldsby, regicide and fellow conspirator of Simon Mayne of nearby Dinton. To save his life he avowed he was a monarchist when Charles II became King in 1660.

Hartwell: The Church of St Mary the Virgin (SP795125) & Dinton stocks
In the grounds of Hartwell House, now a hotel Link , is the roofless church of St Mary the Virgin which was the final resting place of the regicide, Sir Richard Ingoldsby of Waldridge Manor: Honest Dick died in 1685. The story of his conspirators, who all lived nearby, is at: Link . See also the Gallery at: Link . The stocks now on Dinton village green were the answer to minor crime in the 17th century.

MAYNE of Stewkley, Buckinghamshire.

In the 17th century the Mayne name was spread widely across Buckinghamshire as is shown in the list of those in the County who made "Contributions for Ireland in 1642" (Ref: Bucks Record Society Vol. 21). [Money was required to support those suffering from the Irish rebellion of 1641, and 16 Maynes in different parts of Buckinghamshire all paid up - the largest contribution being 10 and the smallest 4 pence! Among them a Christopher Maine, church warden of Stewkley gave 2 shillings.] On the Vale of Aylesbury one large family Mayne were already settled at Wing, Hoggeston and then from 1596 at Creslow (details are shown above pages 3-46). There are also 17th and 18th century records of another Mayne family group centred on Winslow and the hamlets to the north-west of that village Hillesden, Adstock, Preston Bissett. In about 1807 this family appear to have spread to Stewkley (near Hoggeston) on the other side of Winslow. However we have so far been unable to link this Winslow-Stewkley family (shown below) with the large Mayne group of Wing-Hoggeston close by and their descendants. [Records show that Joseph Mayne of Creslow held land in Stewkley between 1608-19, which in 1631 gave rise to a legal dispute, but no link between Joseph and the Winslow-Stewkley family has been established.] The descent of the Winslow-Stewkley Maynes, together with a branch of that family who settled in Ontario, Canada, is given below in the hope that some reader will be able to help over their origins. There are many more of them than are shown here: in the 1891 census 10 Mayne households were in Stewkley and 2 at Winslow nearby.

The book, "A Brief History of Stewkley" by Martha Kate Mayne & William Capp, was printed in 1955. In it Martha Kate (known as Kate, the granddaughter of William Mayne born 1810) describes some of the "plumbing" work they did. She makes it clear that plumbing in those days covered a wide range of water engineering far beyond the range of the modern "plumber". Extracts from Kate's book are quoted in this pedigree under her name, Martha Kate Mayne born about 1870, below. Apart from James, William & Martha had 8 other children, 4 boys & 4 girls.

There have been no subsequent additions to the original construction. In 1862, while William Mayne, James' elder son, was church warden (tablet), the church was "restored" without modern embellishment. It is said that at one time in its long life the church was known as St Mary's. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/938767 (6) 1.1.1.1.1.1 James Mayne of Stewkley ---------------------------------------Birth: 1787, Newport Pagnell, Bucks Death: 7 7 1855, Stewkley, Bucks, age: 68 Burial: Stewkley, Bucks (Memorial stone) Page 48

Known as 'Kate', she (with William Capp) wrote a book "A Brief History of Stewkley", which was printed in 1955. From the mid 18th century and before, our Mayne family in Stewkley have described themselves as "Plumbers & Glaziers". In her book she describes some of the "plumbing" work they did and makes it clear that plumbing in those days covered a wide range of water engineering far beyond the range of the modern "plumber". She referred to the "well-known family firm of Mayne, a very old Stewkley family, who for many years carried on the business of artesian well-sinking over a considerable area of the district.... Some of the wells were 200 feet deep and were at times sunk Page 49

through solid rock and flint. They built up an excellent reputation and were entrusted with some difficult jobs. This firm also made and fixed lead pumps to shallow walls, which became renowned for their service and durability. Later the firm developed modern methods of plumbing and sanitary engineering." Similarly, Kate Mayne described the business of the "Glaziers" of this family: "Leaded lights for windows was another speciality... There are some highly decorative examples to be seen in the district - for example at Nelson's Cottage, which was formerly one of their workshops."

Edwin's four younger brothers all emigrated to Canada. In 1902 when George joined the Army only Edwin and 11 year old Leonard of their generation were still living at Stewkley with their parents. Edwin's religion is shown as "Primitive Methodist". This religion arrived in Stewkley around the 1860s & was embraced by some members of the Mayne family, in particular Edwin Mayne and possibly his brothers before they left home. Edwin was nevertheless married in Stewkley parish church, his wife Leah often attended that church, and their daughter Sarah was married there. Page 52

He made a bad start and in 1904 suffered several short periods in military confinement culminating in receiving 28 days hard labour from a Court Martial (charge unknown). His subsequent service was unblemished. A month after his release he was posted to India where he served for 15 months (1904-06). He then served at home (UK) until he was sent for 14 months to France during World War I (Oct 1914-Dec 1915), where he received a shrapnel wound in the foot in May 1915. George's 1902 Attestation & Service papers (at PRO Kew, London) describe him:Farm labourer; Height 5 foot, 5 inches; Weight 124 pounds; Complexion fresh, eyes brown, hair dark brown; Marks scars over eyebrow & on top of head. George's first wife Alice Goodman, who he married in England in 1912, died in childbirth in Jan 1913. A year later he married Laura Cole in Toronto, Canada, where he had presumably joined his brothers. At that time Laura was living at 369 Wilton Avenue in Toronto. George settled in Canada after his discharge from the Army aged 31 in Jan 1916 and died there in 1966.

MAYNE of Hartwell, Buckinghamshire

(1) 1 Richard Mayne of Hartwell, Bucks ---------------------------------------Death: 1558 Burial: 14 8 1558, Hartwell, Bucks Mayne of Hartwell in 13th & 14th Centuries This Richard Mayne is the first known of this family of Hartwell, although records show that during the 13th and 14th centuries the name was present in the area around "Marsh, Kimble, Aylesbury and Stone" (that is immediately south and south-west of Aylesbury; Hartwell is adjacent to Stone). These earlier Maynes were well-established freeholders in the neighbourhood. Mentions in the Hartwell House MS include the following which mostly relate to Bracy's Manor of Stone :Nov 1291. Thomas Mayn attached by a sickle for damage done in the meadow. 22 Feb 1329. Thomas Mayn charged with trespass in the lord's corn with 2 heifers. 1329. Thomas with wife Joan required to show his title deeds at a Hartwell court. 1340, 43, 44, 46. William Mayn fined for trespass at Stone. 1344, 45. Robert Mayn fined for trespass at Stone. 1352. John Mayn fined for trespass at Stone.

Mayne of Hartwell 16th & 17th Centuries There are no more records of the Mayne name in Stone or Hartwell until the 16th century when Richard Mayne and Alice Hayles' large family appear (paying rental to Jerome Hampden for the Manor of Hartwell in the period 1533-38). It is the details of this branch of Mayne that are given here. Richard's property in Hartwell is described in rent documentation :"Rycharde Mayne holdith a howse with two closes". He also held 23 acres, 54 half acres, 2 lands, 29 yards, 1 rood, 2 plats of meadow, 5 leys, 2 headlands, 3 butts, and 1 foreshooter lying dispersedly in the following [ten]fields: Spearte field, Whaddonfield, .... etc. Richard Mayne's Will was made August 1558 and proved January 1558/9. In it he lists his children who were alive at that time: 5 sons and 5 daughters. It appears that there had been three other children - making a quiver-full of 13! References: Hartwell House MS. "Delafield Family History" Appx 73-74, pp. 829-831 (Society of Genealogists library, London).

Spouse: Death: Burial:

Alice Hayle 1584 2 8 1584, Hartwell, Bucks

Alice was the daughter of William Hayle. She is first mentioned in a Will as "Alice Mayne" in 1532. Other records show that after her husband's death she continued as a Copyholder of their Hartwell land, paying rent/tax to the landlord, Michael Hampden. Alice had no less than 13 children at Hartwell. Her Will was made 19 July 1584, and proved 17 October the same year. It included "a peck of malt to every poor householder in Hartwell", and "money to repair the highway". Bequests to her children and other beneficiaries indicate the rural life they led: "wood and farm gear", "my wearing apparel", "a quarter of barley", " a sheep each", "2 bus of wheat and a sheep" and "a cow".

Hartwell House

Hartwell House (South front) Hartwell House A great mansion house has stood at the centre of the Domesday manor of Hartwell for many centuries. The present house, attributed to Sir Thomas Lee, is early 17th century, and the late Elizabethan style can still be seen in the north front of the house today (below left). The Lee family, who remained as owners until 1938, enlarged the house in 1755, adding a Georgian south front and enlarging the east front into "a splendidly baroque synthesis". Hartwell House, for the six years following 1807, was let to Louis Bourbon (later Louis XVIII) and his brother (the future Charles X) and the French Court. The French tenure ended suddenly on the abdication of Napoleon.

Hartwell Parish Church. At the same time as the Lees were enlarging Hartwell House, a new parish church was built (1753-56) set in trees on a slight hill near the house. Expensively constructed in Gothic style and octagonal shape with an elaborately groined roof, the church has been a ruin since the roof collapsed after 1945 when the lead from it was stolen.
Hartwell House

Hartwells church of St Mary the Virgin, in sunshine on a rise beyond the House, was modeled on the Chapter House at York Minster. Built in 1756, the church is an architecturally important part of the Gothic Revival. (2) 1.3 William Mayne of Hartwell ---------------------------------------Burial: 11 10 1597, Hartwell, Bucks Occ: Yeoman William Mayne of Hartwell seems to have outlived his brothers and successfully farmed the family's Hartwell land, and refers to himself as a "yeoman". He remained a close friend of his landlord, Michael Hampden and the Hampden family (he appears to have named his children after them!). He seems to have done business on a large scale, and in his Will, proved 21 November 1597, he owed debts of 38 to the Hampdens and others, and was owed similar sums, one from a London Mercer.

With Alexander's death in 1643, it appears from the records that this family moved away.

LINKS BETWEEN FAMILY GROUPS IN THIS COLLECTION

There have been many unsuccessful attempts to discover links between the different family groups of MAYNE in this one-name study. Some examples :-

Ireland & Bucks. There is evidence in Ireland in the form of a 1773 memorial stone inscription at the Mayne vault at Dartrey that Robert Mayne (1679-1753) of the Sedborough family was born at Creslow, near Hoggeston in Buckinghamshire, thus linking the Bucks and Irish branches. Although there are details of the large Mayne family who were established at Hoggeston and from 1596 at Creslow, no record of this Roberts English origin has been found there.

Ireland & Scotland. Similarities have been identified between the Echlin and Erskine Mayne families. Both emigrated from Scotland to the same part of Ireland in the 18th century, but no common link has been discovered. Devon. In the 16th century, both the Marwood and Shirwell families were living in villages just three miles apart in rural north Devon, yet no connection between them has been established (the Shirwill family includes the Catholic priest, Saint Cuthbert Mayne).

Kent & Devon. There have been several persistent but vain attempts over the years to claim descent from the wealthy Kent Mayne(y)s of the Middle Ages who, it appears, died out as a result of their overreaching support of the King during the English Civil War. One 19th century claim came from a lawyer, John Thomas Mayne, of the Exeter family who went to the lengths of manufacturing a spurious pedigree, published by Burke, and accumulating portraits of other Mayne families to support it. Ireland, Bucks, Kent & Normandy. A large pedigree, produced about 1900 by another lawyer, John Dawson Mayne (1828-1917), was widely circulated in UK. It linked his Sedborough Irish family Mayne and the Buckinghamshire Maynes with the Mayne(y) family of Kent, and through them to the Mayennes of Normandy (France), back to the year 848 AD. Although much of his data on individuals proves accurate, no evidence could be found to confirm most of the links he had added between the different family groups in the course of the 29 generations of his pedigree. It remains un-validated as a bit of interesting wishful thinking!
