About Elizabeth Frowyk

  • John Somersham and his wife had two daughters, Margery who married Nicholas Laurence, and Alice married to John Swanborne. Robert Dykeswell and Agnes his wife, probably the relict of John Somersham, in 1377 conveyed a third of the manor of Windridge to Nicholas Laurence and Margery, and John Swanborne and Alice, and the heirs of Margery and Alice. (fn. 121) Margery afterwards married William Ashe, and in 1399 she and her husband conveyed their moiety of the manor to John Swanborne and Alice. (fn. 122) Margery eventually became heiress of her sister, and her only daughter 'Elizabeth married Thomas Frowick', in whose family the manor remained till their descendant, Henry Frowick, sold it in 1478 to Sir John Fortescue, (fn. 123) who seems to have forfeited it under Richard III, perhaps as a Lancastrian,for in 1484 the manor was granted by Richard III to Richard Decons for life.

  • Administrative history:
  • The manor of Sherlands in Aldenham was conveyed by Sir Robert Redeswell to John de Somersham, presumably a son of the John mentioned in the charter, in 1358[VCH Herts. ii. 155.] From Somersham it passed to his son-in-law William Asshe, and then to William's daughter 'Elizabeth who married Thomas Frowick'. It stayed in the Frowick family until the death in 1527 of Thomas's great-grandson Henry, whose daughter and heir Elizabeth was the wife of John Coningsby, son of Sir Humphrey. Sir Humphrey had been granted the reversion of the manors of Stottesdon (Salop.) and North Piddle (Worcs.) by William Marquess Berkeley.
