Biography

Fulk Wodhull, Esq., born about 1458, was the son of John Wodhull, Esq., of Warkworth, Northamptonshire and Joan Etwell.[1]

He had lands in Warkworth, Northamptonshire; Odell, Hockliffe, and Langford, Bedfordshire; and Chetwode, Buckinghamshire, etc., and in right of his wife, Thanford, Northamptonshire. He was Sheriff of Northamptonshire in 1500/1.[1]

His father, John, died 12 September 1490 and Fulk, aged "32 years and more" was named his heir.[2]

Fulk married first about June 1475 to Anne Newenham, daughter and co-heiress of William Newenham and Margaret Lamporte.[1] They had three sons and three daughters:

  • Nicholas, Esq., son and heir, born about 1482, died 6 May 1531, married first to Mary Raleigh, and second to Elizabeth Parr[1]
  • Lawrence, Esq., of Thenford, Northamptonshire, married Elizabeth Hall[1]
  • Thomas[1]
  • Mary, married Edward Cope, Esq.[1]
  • Jane, wife of William Bellingham[1]
  • Isabel, wife of Richard Tresham[1]

Fulk married second to Elizabeth Webb, daughter of John Webb, Esq.[1]

Fulk Wodhull died in 1508/9.[1] His widow, Elizabeth, remarried to Robert Cheyne of Chesham Bois, Buckinghamshire. She was buried at Chesham Bois, Buckinghamshire: her memorial inscription gives her death date as 20 December 1516.[3] (Douglas Richardson gives her death date as before 17 May 1511[1] but her memorial inscription proves this wrong.)
