Isabella de Walwyn (de Hathaway)

• VCH-GLOUCESTER ENTRY FOR RUARDEAN:
• MANOR (Hathaways)
• William Hathaway, one of the lords of Ruardean in the early 14th century, had probably inherited part of William of Aumale's estate as a minor. Hathaway's estate, later called HATHAWAYS or HATHAWAYS COURT manor, was held from Alexander of Bicknor for a cash rent. It passed from William (d. c. 1317) to his son William and by 1355 to the latter's son Walter. 'Thomas Hathaway, the owner in 1366, held land in Ruardean from the Crown for a cash rent paid at St. Briavels castle and at his death in 1376 his heirs were his infant daughters Isabel, Sibyl, and Ellen'. 'His estates in Ruardean and St. Briavels were divided between them in 1382, when Isabel and her husband Thomas Walwyn received her share'. The Crown retained the other shares until Sibyl, who married Nicholas Hyde, and Ellen came of age. Thomas Walwyn, of Much Marcle (Herefs.), died in 1415 and was survived by Isabel and several sons, of whom Richard was his heir. In 1445 Ellen, the widow of William Walwyn, quitclaimed rents in Ruardean to John Hickox and his wife Isabel, and in 1450 Isabel quitclaimed land which she had inherited from her mother Sibyl Hyde to William Walwyn of Bickerton in Much Marcle. William held a manor court in 1454, when he was also described as of Ruardean, and at his death in 1471 Hathaways, held from Ruardean manor for 1d., passed to his daughter Alice, wife of Thomas Baynham (d. 1500). Alice, who later married Sir Walter Dennis (d. 1505 or 1506), died in 1518 and the estate passed to her son Sir Christopher Baynham (fl. 1534). His son George, who held it in 1541, was knighted in 1546 and died later that year leaving the manor for life to his wife Cecily, who later married Sir Charles Herbert. From Cecily, whose son Richard Baynham may have held the manor court in the 1550s, it passed in 1585 to another son Thomas Baynham, who was succeeded in 1611 by his daughter Joan and her husband John Vaughan of Kinnersley (Herefs.). John, a Roman Catholic, was outlawed and in 1612 the manors he held in Joan's right were confiscated. Joan recovered her estates but forfeited them, temporarily, on her conviction for recusancy in 1619. John died later that year and Joan, who continued to support the Roman Catholic cause and resided in Ruardean, in 1642.
