Stanes Chamberlayne Family Bible Birth Record

and baptised at Hatfield Peverel, Essex on 28 April,^[1]the second son and 6th child of Stanes I Chamberlayne and Thermuthes Smith. It was, according to the old calendar, a Friday. ^[2][3]

Marriage and Family

On 24 February 1780, Stanes married Mary, only child and heiress of William Brockett, Bencher of the Middle Temple, and of Spains Hall, Willingale Spain, at St Andrew's Church, Willingale, Essex. ^[8][9]He probably met Mary through his father's membership of the Middle Temple. Stanes senior had been admitted to the Middle Temple only two and a half years before Mary's father William, whose own father, also William Brockett, was a lawyer of the Middle Temple, so it is highly probable that they knew each other well. They lived at The Ryes, the beautiful Inigo Jones-designed ^[10]house inherited from his father, grandfather, and great grandfather, Jeffrey Stanes,^[11]but their first two children were born at Willingale Spain, where Mary had grown up. Her own mother was dead, of course, but there may have been other reasons why they chose to have her lying in at Spains Hall.

Ryes

The Chamberlaynes would have enjoyed dinner parties, balls and tea parties in country houses of Stansted, Ugley, Willingale and Hallingbury, with local gentry and minor nobility. According to Facts not Fables, relative to the family of the Chamberlaynes, in the county of Essex, all of Stanes and Mary's children lived at The Ryes together with them; (they must have needed sizable stabling for their horses and carriages, not to mention servant accommodation), ^[29]

However, not all was well at The Ryes.

The author of "Facts not Fables" asserts:

Mrs Chamberlayne died a few years before ( in 1819) whose memory I cherish. I will be to her virtues ever kind, to her faults a little blind; could she arise from her grave and know the conduct of her former pets, she would wish, without further delay, to return to her late abode. These legatees lived at Ryes with (the late) Mr C.; his eldest son, Stanes Brocket Chamberlayne also remained, he paying for his servant, horses &c., as he had done during his mother's life. At the death of his mother, his father gave into his possession some papers and books of account, saying he knew more about them than he himself, among which was one in the handwriting of his mother; these, with some letters relative to some trust-money, he kept in an escritoire in his own room, and, leaving Ryes on a tour into the north of England, he left the key with his brother (and godson) Henry, saying that if his father wished to look at any of the papers, he knew where to find them....These legatees banded together, apparently conspire to take all advantage of their brother in his absence. ... They persuade the old man to ask his son, Henry, to whom his brother had confided the key, to give him the book of accounts of his late mother. Henry... very readily gives up the book to his father, in the presence of most, if not all, the legatees; - the book to be kept in Mr C.'s possession? No, that would not answer their purpose; it might appear another day and destroy their villainous designs: horrible to relate; it is consigned to the flames. ... The book destroyed, Mr. C. makes a charge against his eldest son, and demands a sum of money for his board and lodging, for himself, servant and horses, to which he answered : that he had paid every thing, frequently at his mother's desire, by discharging bills, as he was accustomed to do in his mother's life time, which would appear in his mother's book, which he asked for, and to his inexpressible surprise, he was told it was burnt. Legal proceedings were threatened, but to avoid exposure in a Court of Justice, it was agreed to refer the dispute to Mr. Wingfield, a barrister-at-law, and now a master in Chancery, a friend of the family, whose determination was that Mr. C. could not take advantage of his own wrong, destroy evidence, and then make the claim. ^[29]

Life and Career

Stanes's father, Stanes senior died in 1782, resulting in Stanes junior becoming a wealthy landowner, and a year after his wife Mary died on 12th May 1819 ^[30]he was the vouchee in the recovery of Stoney Thorpe in 1820. ^{[31] [32]}

[33]

While his country residence was at The Ryes in Hatfield Broad Oak, Stanes also owned property in the Strand, London, which he rented to a Mr Moggeridge, and he rented his London residence, Welbeck House, Welbeck St, in Marylebone, from the Duke of Portland. As the French Revolution raged across the English Channel, Stanes lived a quiet life in Essex and London. In 1778 he was listed among those taxed by George III's government to raise money for British troops fighting in the American War of Independence. ^[34]

He was one of the Governors of Bridewell and Bethlem, (known as Bedlam) prison hospital in Moorfields, London, along with his father-in-law, William Brocket, and William Plumer MP, of Cavendish Square who may have been his mother's uncle.^[35][36]

Stanes Chamberlayne, William Brockett and William Plumer, Governors of Bridewell Royal Hospital

^[37][38]

From the 1570s Bridewell was governed jointly with Bethlem Hospital (which treated the insane) by a Court of Governors. Because appointment as a governor was socially prestigious, and gave elite men the right to nominate apprentices, a large number of governors were appointed (there were 270 in 1700). Needless to say, only a small proportion showed up for meetings of the Court, and over the course of the eighteenth century the Court's business was increasingly devolved to committees, and the court met less frequently. As recorded in its Minutes (MG), the Court's business included determining the fate of prisoners and apprentices, the appointment of officers, and administering the hospital's properties and finances. ^[39]

Bridewell hospital was established to provide a home and training for deserving children. Boys were referred by parishes, Christ's Hospital, and sessions, or they were nominated by the governors from the families of poor citizens. Unlike parish apprenticeships, those at Bridewell were considered highly desirable as their successful completion ensured both the freedom of the City of London and payment of a substantial charitable contribution (ten pounds, from the charity known as Lock's Gift) towards setting up as an independent master.

The boys were given a basic education (in 1675 a school master was appointed to teach them reading and writing), and, depending on the arts master to whom they were apprenticed, they were taught one of a number of trades, including weaving, shoemaking and glovemaking.

In the late seventeenth century, there were around 100 apprentices in the hospital, but reflecting the overall decline in apprenticeship in the eighteenth century, the numbers decreased over time: 132 in 1705, 74 in 1750, 26 in 1791. The concentration of such a large number of adolescents unsurprisingly led to numerous disciplinary problems, which were recorded in a separate Register. There were also complaints that the masters were negligent and dissolute.^[40]

On 10 December 1789, Stanes nominated 8 year old Barnaby Cooke, son of Susan Cooke, as an apprentice.^[41]

In 1790 he is recorded as living at Hatfield, The Ryes, near Bishop's Stortford, and a year later, he was recorded, along with his father-in-law William Brockett, on the list of Trustees responsible for the execution of the

Act for enlarging the term and powers of two acts, of the seventeenth year of his late Majesty, and the ninth year of His present Majesty, for repairing and widening the road leading from a place called Harlow Bush Common, in the parish of Harlow. ^[42]

THE CONDITION of the roads in (England) had been materially improved during the eighteenth century. The main arteries were sufficiently maintained to bring about the halving of the time taken on long journeys. This was largely due to the regulations imposed by Parliament. The law, however, had not been always consistent and the frequent variations in its demands on road-makers and road-users had led to a good deal of confusion. There were, of course, in addition to the demands of the national laws, the various local regulations imposed by special Acts. These were left untouched but an Act was passed in 1774 to consolidate the general law of highways and another to deal with the special responsibilities of highway trusts. Although these laws appear to have been badly drafted, the position was a little clearer. In the fifty years that had elapsed since 1774 some fresh laws had been passed and, equally important, circumstances had changed and defects had been discovered. In 1822 a fresh Act, consolidating and amending the law of highway trusts, was passed—an imperfect measure that had to be altered two years later.^[43]Stanes, (his name sometimes spelt Staines and even Staynes) was also on the committee responsible for the financial provision and upkeep of the roads in the Harlow area and met regularly with other Essex landowners to discuss road improvements, the regulation of weights permitted to be carried by carts on the roads, and the amount of finance required to execute the committee's decisions. ^[43]

He also owned farmland in Standon, Herts, a village west of Bishop's Stortford, ^[44]and the farm known as Chablock's; part of the demesne of the manor of French's also belonged to Stanes. ^[45]

Stansted Hall, Seat of Wm Heath Esq[46]

In 1791, the Universal British Directory stated that

The principle seats of noblemen and gentlemen in the vicinity of Bishop's Stortford, are those of Lord Mountstuart, at Hallingbury Place, distant 4 miles; '

Sir Peter Parker's, Bart., Bassingbourne Hall, 5 miles; Montague Burgoyne's, Esq. Mark Hall, 7 miles; Staines Chamberlayne's Esq. Hatfield, the Ryes, 6 miles; Samuel Lightenhouse's, (sic) Esq 5 miles; Robert Raynesford's Esq. Birchanger, 2 miles; William Heath's, Esq, Stanfield (sic) (Stansted) Hall, 4 miles; John Calvert's, Esq. Albury Hall, 5 miles; Jeremiah Miles, Esq. Pishobury, 5 miles; Robert Gosling's Esq. Hartfobury, (sic) 6 miles; Richard Vachell's, Esq. Threm Hall, 3 miles'; Ralph Winter's, Esq. one mile and a half; the last mentioned gentleman, being the nearest magistrate, attends here to hear complaints, determine small differences, and administer justice. Hadham Parva stands a little North of Bishop's Stortford, and is of chief note for having been the burial place of the Capels, Earls of Essex.^[47]

There must have been a good deal of social comings and goings between the Chamberlaynes and their gentry and noble neighbours. The family was no doubt shocked when John's godfather, The Hon. John Stuart, died at Bassingbourne Hall, a month after falling from his horse, on 2 January 1794.

To add yet another distinction to his career, Stanes became High Sheriff of Essex on 22 Feb 1793.^[48][49]

The Gentleman's Magazine 1793 [50]

In the Poll for Knights of the Shire for the County of Hertford on 1 June 1796, he voted for William Plumer Esq. ^[51]

Stanes and Mary's daughter Thermuthes died unmarried, aged 27, at Ryes, on 21 Nov 1811.^[17]The Chamberlaynes were still living in London, when in 1819, The Morning Post - Monday 7 June 1819, among the Fashionable Arrivals and Departures, noted the fact that Stanes Chamberlayne Esq had left Welbeck-street for Ryes, near Bishop Stortford.^[52]

He was an executor of the Will of Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson, 7th Bt. and Stanes was named as Thomas Stanes of the Ryes, Essex, Esq., although a qualifying codicil declares that this was an error, and that by Thomas Stanes Chamberlayne, Stanes Chamberlayne is meant. Perhaps Thomas Maryon Wilson, who was the godfather of Stanes' youngest son, Henry Thomas Chamberlayne, recorded in the Chamberlayne family Bible, was thinking of his godson.

In 1826 Stanes was involved in a Counterpart Lease concerning a

Messuage with coach-house, stable and other erections known as the Swan, with small messuage adjoining, on south side of village of Charlton,

between Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson and William Nottidge, Stanes Chamberlayne of Ryes, Essex and Revd. Richard Black of Hutton, near Brentwood, Essex, clerk, surviving trustees of will of Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson dec., and Susanna Noble of Charlton, widow. Retrieved from The National Archives (Here;) Accessed 11 Dec 2021.^[53]

On 23 March 1830 a Petition was brought before the House of Lords in the regard to the Will of Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson of Charlton House, in the County of Kent. ^[54]

Cary's New Itinerary 1828 [55]

In 1828, he was still living at the Ryes, recorded in the official distance calculation from Shoreditch Church, London.

He was a trustee of the Dunmow Charity School, along with his son Stanes Brocket, and a James Raymond of the Middle Temple, (d. 12 Nov 1835 ^[56] as reported in the Chelmsford Chronicle on 1 November 1833.^[57]

Death

Stanes died on 12 April 1834, aged 84, but the Gentleman's Magazine incorrectly stated that he was in his 89th year. ^[58]He was buried in the church of St Mary’s, Hatfield Broad Oak, Essex, near his wife, Mary, and they are commemorated by two wall plaques there.^[59]

Chamberlayne Memorials

In 1836, his sons William and Stanes Brocket were both JPs for Essex and his son Henry Thomas was JP for Warwickshire.^[60]

Will

Last Will and Testament of Stanes Chamberlayne Esq. of The Ryes, Hatfield Broad Oak, Essex

In the Name of God, Amen.

I, Stanes Chamberlayne of Ryes in the county of Essex, Esq., being of sound and disposing mind, memory and understanding, praised be Almighty God for the same, so make and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament in manner following.

That is to say, first it is my wish and desire to be buried in my family vault in the Parish Church of Hatfield Broad Oak in Essex, and that my remains may be carried to that church from Ryes, (in case I should die there) upon the shoulders of my own labourers and such other labourers belonging to the parish of Hatfield Broad Oak aforesaid as may be selected and fixed upon by my executors hereafter named but if I should die at a distance from Ryes, then it is my desire that my remains may be conveyed to the Church aforesaid in the most private, decent and least expensive manner as possible – it being my wish and request that my funeral may be conducted without pomp or show and that all unnecessary expense may be avoided.

I give and devise unto my oldest son, Stanes Brocket Chamberlayne all that my freehold field, called Small Gains or otherwise situate, lying and being in the parish of Little Hallingbury in the said county of Essex which I lately purchased of the governors of the Charter House to hold the same field, land and premises with them and every of their appurtenances unto and to the use of my said son Stanes Brocket Chamberlayne, his sons and assignes (sic) absolutely and for ever.

Also I give and bequeath unto my said son Stanes Brocket Chamberlayne all the fixtures of every description which may be in and about my dwellinghouse called Ryes at the time of my decease and also all the pictures in the said house and so much of the library which late belonged to Mr Brocket as may be in my said dwellinghouse at the time of my decease and also the china jars usually placed in my drawingroom, which lately belonged to the said Mr Brocket, for his own use and absolute disposal and as my Eldest son Stanes Brocket Chamberlayne will at the time of my decease, become entitled to the whole of the Real Estates which I now enjoy and as his income and fortune will considerably exceed that of my other children, I request that he will take upon himself the payment and discharge of the debts which may happen to be due and owing from and by me at the time of my decease and also of my funeral expenses and the charges of proving and anyways relating to the execution of this my will and I do hereby charge and make such parts of my personal Estate hereinbefore by me bequeathed unto him chargeable to and with the payment thereof and as to, for and remaining all my ready money Securities for money arrears of Rents, Debts and sums of money due and owing to me, Cattle, Corn, Grain, Hay, Live and dead, stock, household goods and furniture, plate, china, linen and all other my Goods, Chattels and personal Estate and Effects of what nature the same may consist of at the time of my decease, except what I have heretofore bequeathed to my said Eldest son, Stanes Brocket Chamberlayne, I give and bequeath the same and every part thereof unto and equally between my three sons, William, John and Henry and my three daughters, Sarah, Emma and Harriet for their own respective uses and benefit. And I do so hereby nominate and appoint my said four sons Stanes Brocket, William, John and Henry my executors and lastly I do hereby revoke and make void all wills by me at any time heretofore made and declare this only to be my Last Will and Testament.

In Witness whereof, I the said Stanes Chamberlayne the Testator have to this my last Will and Testament contained in two sheets of paper set my hand to the first sheet thereof and my hand and seal to this the last sheet therefore the twenty third day of April in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and twenty three. (23.04.1823) Stanes Chamberlayne, Esq.

Signed, sealed, published and declared by the said Stanes Chamberlayne, the Testator as and for his Last Will and Testament in the presence of us who at his request, in his presence and in the presence of each other have subscribed our names as witnesses to the same.

George Starkins, Rob.t Howard. W.S. Sims.

Proved at London the 30th June 1834 before the Worshipful John Daubeny Doctor of Laws and Surrogate by the Oaths of Stanes Brocket Brocket (formerly Stanes Brocket Chamberlayne Esquire) William Chamberlayne Esquire The Reverend John Chamberlayne, Clerk, and Henry Thomas / in the Will written Henry Chamberlayne Esquire the sons the Executors to whom admin (?) was granted having been first sworn duly to administer. (Transcribed from:^[61])

...By which it can be seen that Stanes had cut his eldest daughter, Maria, out of his Will, for reasons unknown. However, from the written testimony of the anonymous author of Facts not Fables, relative to the family of the Chamberlaynes, in the county of Essex it is clear that there was a terrible rift in the family between Stanes and his eldest daughter, and Stanes's eldest son, Stanes Brocket, and his younger siblings, William, John, Henry, and Emma, Sarah and Harriet. The author of Facts not Fables charged Stanes Junior's siblings with treachery, fraud, deception and hypocrisy, levelling the strongest recriminations against John, who as an Anglican rector, the author felt, ought to have known better, and against Henry Thomas, who had abused Stane's trust and helped to turn his father against him. It is possible that the writer was Stanes Brocket himself; 25 years before, he had written and published a defence of his name subsequent to his court martial and dismissal from the West Essex Militia for insulting a superior officer's reputation.^[29]

The Illustrated London News, in its 1843 article on Hatfield Broad Oak noted 'north-west of the church a solitary stack of chimnies (sic) to mark the site of Ryes, lately the residence of S. Chamberlayne, Esq.' ^[62]John Archer-Houblon had the house demolished between 1835 and 1838; perhaps only a stack of chimneys remained in 1843.^[63]

In 1844, his son, Stanes Brocket Chamberlayne, who on the terms of his grandfather, William Brockett's will, changed his name to Stanes Brocket Brocket, became High Sheriff of Essex.^[64]
