Dear Newsgroup ~
As indicated in my post yesterday, Sir Edward Greville (died 1528)
named his brother-in-law, Sir Edmund Tame, in his will dated 1528,
proved in 1529 (P.C.C., 11 Jankyn).
The items below are taken from various catalogues found in the online
A2A Catalogue (http://www.a2a.org.uk/search/index.asp). They concern
Sir Edmund Tame, of Fairford, Gloucestershire, son of a local merchant,
John Tame. There is a monumental brass in the Fairford church for Sir
Edmund Tame (died 1534) and his two wives.
Sir Edmund Tame, of Fairford, is evidently the same person who was Sir
Edward Greville's brother-in-law. A post in the newsgroup archives
shows that the manor of Ashley (in Charlton Kings) which was used to
guarantee the first transaction below to Edmund Tame, then esquire, of
Fairford, was subsequently mortgaged by Sir Edward Greville in 1520.
Greville's then wife, Anne, and their son and heir, John, served as
guarantors of mortgage repayment.
This means that Sir Edward Greville married his 2nd wife, Jane Ormond,
sometime between 1520 (when his first wife Anne was still living) and
1523-24 (when he held court at Medbourn, Leicestershire in right of his
second wife, Jane).
I also find that Sir Edmund Tame's daughter, Margaret, was married by
settlement dated 1528 to Sir Humphrey Stafford.

Re: Edward Greville's brother-in-law, Sir Edmund Tame
Hi Douglas,
I assume this is the Edward Greville of whom you speak.
(I didnt see any previous post of yours on TAME family... maybe it got lost
this end as often happens....Oh well!)
+++++++++
Sir Edward Greville Knighted 13/10/1513
Ashley Manor and interests at Charlton Kings (Cheltenham, GLS) were
surrendered to Edward (Sir) Greville #(D1224 No13) from John Westby (Edward
Tame actually owned them D1224 No 8 c1503) and Sir Edward was still in
possession in 1520 when he mortgaged them for £400. His wife Ann (nee
Denton) and Son & heir John (whose1st wife was Elianor/Alinore nee Verney)
also went guarantors of mortgage repayment (D1224 No15&16) Above Manor &
interests were transferred to Robert Grevill and his heirs in c1520. Will
made 21/6/1528 proved 1/10/1529 (U269 T246/2).
+++++++++
re Edwards 2nd wife you say existed:
Would you be able to advise me where I can find (online if possible) any
details telling of Edward Grevilles second wife, as this is my wife's family
line and I have nothing of a second wife after his first wife Dame Anne (nee
Denton), who I show died about one year (13/10/1529) after Sir Edward
Greville.
Any further information would be greatly appreciated.
+++++++++++
re Robert Greville mentioned above:
Upon Marriage to Margaret (nee Arle), he gained Arle Court. Eventually it
passed to his brother William (Judge of Common Pleas) Approx 1520, Sir
Edward Greville transferred the Charlton Kings and Ashley Manor properties
to Robert. Will dated 7/2/1548 and was proved before 25th March 1548 (GRO
1548/76) Buried inside of Parish church Charlton Kings although there was a
family vault at Cheltenham.(CK 1548/9) Surname also shown as "Grevyle" on

shows that the manor of Ashley (in Charlton Kings) which was used to

Dear Newsgroup ~
As indicated in my post yesterday, Sir Edward Greville (died 1528)
named his brother-in-law, Sir Edmund Tame, in his will dated 1528,
proved in 1529 (P.C.C., 11 Jankyn).
The items below are taken from various catalogues found in the online
A2A Catalogue (http://www.a2a.org.uk/search/index.asp). They concern
Sir Edmund Tame, of Fairford, Gloucestershire, son of a local merchant,
John Tame. There is a monumental brass in the Fairford church for Sir
Edmund Tame (died 1534) and his two wives.
Sir Edmund Tame, of Fairford, is evidently the same person who was Sir
Edward Greville's brother-in-law. A post in the newsgroup archives
shows that the manor of Ashley (in Charlton Kings) which was used to
guarantee the first transaction below to Edmund Tame, then esquire, of
Fairford, was subsequently mortgaged by Sir Edward Greville in 1520.
Greville's then wife, Anne, and their son and heir, John, served as
guarantors of mortgage repayment.
This means that Sir Edward Greville married his 2nd wife, Jane Ormond,
sometime between 1520 (when his first wife Anne was still living) and
1523-24 (when he held court at Medbourn, Leicestershire in right of his
second wife, Jane).
I also find that Sir Edmund Tame's daughter, Margaret, was married by
settlement dated 1528 to Sir Humphrey Stafford.

Re: Edward Greville's brother-in-law, Sir Edmund Tame
There appear to have been two Sir Edmunds:
from History of Fairford Manor at
http://www.fairford.org/TownCouncil/His ... story.html:
"Fairford Manor (really a parcel of land not a house) was Crown
property from early times. During the Norman Conquest, Fairford was
held by a Saxon noble, Britric. He refused to marry Matilda, Count
Baldwin's daughter. When she later married William of Normandy she
became the first Queen of England. She demanded all of Britric's land
and possessions.
The estate remained royal property for the next 600 years, unlike most
of the Coln Valley villages which passed to the church. In the 15th
century the manor was held by the Earls of Warwick. They built a manor
house which became the administrative centre where the old court was
held. In 1478 the Warwick lands, including Fairford, came to King
Edward IV.
In 1487, Henry VII leased the estate to John Tame, a wealthy wool and
cloth merchant of Cirencester. The old manor house had fallen into
disrepair, and he built a new house to the south of the church, and was
living in Fairford by the mid 1480's. During the 1490's he rebuilt the
church, which was re-consecrated in 1497 and dedicated to St. Mary the
Virgin. The chief glory of the church was the magnificent set of
stained glass windows illustrating the Christian faith.
When John Tame died in 1513, his son Edmund Tame, who had become rich
and influential, was associated with the court of Henry VIII, and was
knighted in 1516. Henry VIII visited Fairford in 1520, staying at the
Tame manor house from August 26th until September 2nd. During this
visit he appointed Edmund Tame "steward for life of the lordship of
Fairford and also knighted Sir Edmund's son, also Edmund. It is thought
that Henry VIII attended Mass in church on 28th August, and would have
seen the new windows in all their splendour.
Sir Edmund Tame the younger died in 1544, and the male line of the Tame
family died with him. The Tame manor house was neglected, but Fairford
estate still belonged to the Crown until sold by Queen Elizabeth. It
was bought by Robert Tracey, who fought on the side of the King in the
Civil War, and consequently had to pay a large fine to Cromwell, and
had to sell the Fairford lands to pay the fine.
The now dilapidated manor was bought by Andrew Barker in 1650. He
didn't repair the manor house, but in 1661 built a fine new house in
the Park, to the north of the church."
