Text: Sir Edward Stanhope, 1538-1603, the elder, represented successively Notts. and Yorkshire in Parliament, where his seats were Edlington and Grimston. He was treasurer of Gray's Inn, recorder of Doncaster, and a member of the Council of the North. He was buried at Kirby Warffe in Yorkshire. He married, in 1578, Susan Coleshill, daughter of Thomas Coleshill, of Chigwell, in the Isle of Axholme, Lincolnshire, and had issue, four sons, and two daughters:
Sir Edward Stanhope of Grimston, 1578-1655, who married Margaret Constable, 1590-1662, daughter of Sir Henry Constable, 1555-15/12/1607, of Burton Constable, Sheriff of Yorkshire, and Margaret Dormer, 1570-1637, see later family connection. Sir Henry Constable was the son of Sir John Constable, 10/1/1526-25/5/1579, of Burton Constable, Holderness, and Kirkby Knowle, and Margaret Scrope, 1534-1572, daughter of John le Scrope, 1504-22/6/1549, Lord of Bolton. The Scropes had close family ties with the Percys and Nevilles. There were also strong ties between the family of Constable and the families of Hotham, Tempest, and Radcliffe. His marriage settlement, dated 2/6/1605, brought Sir Edward 'manors and all property' in Edlington, Stainton, and Maltbye; and rectories in Swinefleet and Readnesse.
Sir John Stanhope*, 1580-1627, of Mellwood in the Isle of Axholme, who married Mary Howley, 1585-1650; their daughters were Margaret Stanhope, who married Robert Dynely, see Harl. Soc., vol. xxxix, and Ursula Stanhope, obit. 17/5/1654. She married George Walker, obit. 15/9/1677; he died at Kilmore, N. Ireland, and is buried there. Their children, all born in England, were: Ann Walker. George Walker, Governor of Londonderry. He was the 'hero of the Siege of Londonderry.' 'About the tenth of April, information was received, by Rev. George Walker, that the Irish army were approaching Londonderry, and he immediately communicated this intelligence to Lundy. Mr. Walker was Rector of the parishes of Donoughmore and Erigal Keeroge, in the county of Tyrone, and, although at an advanced age, entered with true Christian zeal into the contest, and, girding on the sword, placed himself at the head of a regiment which he had raised.' [Edward Lutwyche Parker, History of Londonderry, p.15, 1851.] Godfrey Walker. Gervase Walker. Margaret Walker.
George Stanhope, 1582-1655, D.D, was chaplain to King James 1 and King Charles 1. We are told that he underwent 'grievous distresses' for his loyalty to King Charles, being deprived of his living of the rectory of Wheldrake. His son, the Rev. Thomas Stanhope, 1620-1680, was Rector of Hartshorne, Derbyshire, and chaplain to his kinsman, the Earl of Chesterfield. He married Barbara Allestrye, daughter of George Allestrye, Esquire. Their son was George Stanhope, 1660-1728, the renowned theologian, and Dean of Canterbury.
Thomas Stanhope, 1583-1600.
Lady Susan Stanhope, 1584-1643, who married Sir Percival Hart.
Frances Stanhope, 1585-1623, who married Patrick Maule, 29/5/1585-22/12/1661, Sheriff of Forfar, Earl of Panmure. [Joseph Hunter, John William Clay, Famillae Minoum Gentium, pp. 986-988, 1894.]
* In the reign of James I., High Melwood had become the property of Sir John Stanhope, of Stotfold, in the county of York. John Stanhope, the son of Sir John, and Darcy the grandson, seem to have resided principally at High Melwood, as they are both buried in Owston Church. John stanhope, the son of Darcy, also resided here, and was buried in Owston Church in the twenty ninth year of his age. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Mr. Robert Farmery of High Burnham, by whom he acquired that property.This Sir John Stanhope and his wife were buried in that part of the Church of Hooton Pagnel which is called the Stotfold Choir. Stotfold is a single house in the parish of Hooton, similar to High Melwood in the parish of Owston, a distinct lordship to itself, and one of the old gentle- hommeries of England. They left issue two daughters, Elizabeth and Isabella. Elizabeth married Mr. Richard Acklom, by which marriage High Melwood came into that family, and then into the family of Earl Spencer, who married the great-grandaughter of Mr. Acklom, and who sold High Melwood to the Rev. Thomas Skipworth, of Belton. The house was a large stone building, surrounded by a moat, pleasantly situated on the side of the hill, with a southwest aspect. Not a vestige of it remains. When the property came into the family of Acklom it was disparked, and converted into an arable farm.
