Biography

Birth and Parentage

Image courtesy of ancestryimages.com[1]

Stanes Chamberlayne, the son of Richard Chamberlayne of ^[2], Warwickshire, and Sarah Stanes, daughter of Jeffrey Stanes after whom he was named, was born in London on 1 March 1720 and baptised at St Brides, Fleet Street, London^[3] on 17 March 1720. ^[4]The following Family Search record, however, shows another Stanes, baptised in the same place, the previous year. Perhaps it is a clerical error, since the day is the same, or perhaps this record refers to a previously born son, who died. ^[5] Stanes's father Richard was a wealthy silk mercer of London and mercer to George I. Born at Princethorpe Manor in Warwickshire, on the Fosse Way, halfway between the towns of Rugby and Leamington Spa, Richard Chamberlayne had grown prosperous and had bought Wendon Lofts near Saffron Waldon, as well as acquiring Ryes when his father-in-law Jeffrey died. Stanes was 7 when George II became King on 11 June 1727, and his infant years were probably spent in London, Essex and Warwickshire.

Education

Site of The Ryes [6]

When Jeffery Staines died on 1 February 1731, leaving his house, The Ryes, a manor in Hatfield Regis, or King's Hatfield, (Hatfield Broad Oak), to his daughter Sarah Chamberlayne, the Chamberlaynes removed to Essex.^[7][8] Hatfield Broad Oak is mentioned in a somewhat desultory way in Daniel Defoe's 'A Tour Through the Whole Island of Great Britain' (1724):

From hence we cross'd the country to the great forest, called Epping Forest, reaching almost to London. The country on that side of Essex is called the Roodings, I suppose because there are no less than ten towns almost together, called by the name of Roding, and is famous for good land, good malt, and dirty roads; the latter indeed in the winter are scarce passable for horse or man. In the midst of this we see Chipping Onger, Hatfield Broad-Oak, Epping, and many forest-towns, fam'd, as I have said, for husbandry and good malt; but of no other note.^[9]

Morant's 1768 Map of Essex[10]

Hatfield Broad Oak's

parish embraces most of the 1000 +acres of Hatfield Forest... a rare example of a medieval royal hunting forest, its ancient woodlands being created around 1100 by Henry I.^[11]

The beautiful ^[12]manor of Ryes, or Hatfield Ryes, designed by Inigo Jones himself, ^[13]

occupied a rectangular moated site within which are still some brick boundary walls of the late 16th or the early 17th century. The house was probably rebuilt at that period.

Pishobury[14]

Ryes

It is said to have resembled Pishiobury Park in Sawbridgeworth and Hamels Park in Braughing (Herts.) but on a smaller scale. The picture (L) of Pishobury is given for comparison's sake.

Ryes Lane ^[7] north of Hatfield Heath and south of Stanstead Airport, is named after and runs past the site of the house, which had existed since before the Norman Conquest.^[7]

Ryes had 20 hearths in 1670. Jeffrey Stanes improved the house and grounds, and left instructions in his will for their maintenance. An avenue of trees which survives to the west of the site may date from his time. The house seems to have been demolished by John Archer Houblon between 1834 and 1838.^[7] Compare this to the eight hearths which were paid for at Princethorpe by William Chamberlayne, Stanes's great grandfather, who with his family, after the Civil War, was going through considerable financial straits. Chamberlayne men were sent to London into mercantile professions from that time onwards, and it was the accumulation of wealth and land which characterised the rise of the Chamberlayne fortunes in the Georgian age. The Chamberlayne men, like others of their social status, also went into the army, law or church.

Ryes was a 2.6 m ride from Barrington Hall, owned, but not inhabited, by Sir FitzWilliam Barrington, 10th Bt ^[15]to whom Stanes was distantly related (they were 7th cousins). ^[16]

Hall of Christ Church College[17]

In obedience to the terms of his grandfather Jeffrey Staines' Will, he matriculated at Christ Church College, Oxford on 23 June 1736 at the age of 16. ^[18][19]He probably took Classics; he was still at Oxford three years later when Staines Chamberlayne, Esq. Gent. Comm. of Chr. Ch. Oxon. appeared on the subscribers' list of J. Merrick's translation of Tryphiodorus' epic poem in 691 verses, a sequel to the Iliad; The destruction of Troy. (1739), with notes. ^[20]

He was admitted to the Bar of the Middle Temple on 12 July 1736. ^[21]

Marriage and Family

Stanes, still a landowner in Princethorpe at the time, ^[22]married on 22 August 1745, an heiress, a young lady who rejoiced in the conciliatory name of Thermuthes Smith, of Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire, Spinster, one of the two daughters ^[23]of Thomas Smith of West Kennet, Esq, and Hannah née Plomer. ^[24]

a messuage or tenement and brewhouse called the Thatch House in Hoddesdon and adjoining land; and land in Broxbourne, Hoddesdon, Great Amwell, Little Amwell and Stanstead Abbotts comprising the trust estate of the late Robert Plomer, deceased.^[23]

Tregelles records that Isaak Walton’s thatched house (described in the 1737 Vestry Book as Mr Plomer’s brewhouse) (Robert Plomer who died in 1740), was next to The Four Feathers, and next to the thatched house were 5 almshouses (domos elimosinaris according to the rolls) provided by Richard Rich in 1440. In 1737 it was proposed to rent a house in Jno Street for 7 years, and Mr Plomer was to have the use of the almshouses. In 1834 the Commission reported they were in good repair and occupied by 5 poor families, some of whom were also in receipt of poor relief.^[25]

Stanes Chamberlayne, 'of Princethorpe' and Miss Smith, of West Kennet, Wiltshire ^[22]were married at Saint Stephen Walbrook and Saint Benet Sherehog London.^[26] According to the Chamberlayne family Bible, Thermuthes was the daughter of William Plomer of Blakesware Manor, Hertfordshire.

Stanes and Thermuthes Marriage record in Chamberlayne Family Bible - Courtesy Ed. Chamberlayne

If the Plomer family, sometimes called Plumer, was connected to the Byde family, who in turn had married into the Villiers family, ^[27] a connection has not been proven. Thermuthes' mother Hannah could not have been William Plomer's daughter, as he was born in 1736 and Hannah was born before that, in 1694. The probable reason for this mistake is that John Chamberlayne, Thermuthes and Stanes' third grandson became rector of Eastwick in 1825, and his patroness was Jane Plumer, widow of William Plumer of Blakesware. The family probably assumed the connection, because of the proximity of Hoddesdon to Blakesware. (This is not the first time that Chamberlayne genealogical assumptions have been made, (as with many other families) since proven to have been incorrect.)

The London Magazine; or Gentleman's Monthly Intelligencer records that Stanes Chamberlayne Esq married Miss Smith with a 'fortune of £1000 a year &c'. ^[28] (This would have been approximately equivalent to £118,217.30 / $163.613,93 / €137.791,72 (1740->2017). ^[29]

Stanes Chamberlayne and Miss Smith [28]

A marriage settlement was made for the young couple on 21-22 August 1745, recorded in the Archive Catalogue of The Princethorpe Foundation.^[30] (See Reference Notes).

Apart from Stanes, they had four other children, including a daughter, Thermuthes, who married Francis Fauquier, second son of Francis Fauquier, (1703-1768) Lieutenant Governor of Virginia.

Life and Career

Memorial Sculpture of Stanes Chamberlayne

A year or two after George III came to the throne, in 1762, Stanes' name appears in the Warwick, Hertford and Wiltshire lists in the Act for Granting an Aid to His Majesty (George III) by a Land Tax, to be Raised in Great Britain, for the Service of the Year One Thousand Seven Hundred and Sixty Two ^[35]His name appears for Wiltshire because of land he had come into by right of his wife, on their marriage, and in Hertfordshire because of land which had come into the family through Thermuthes and her mother Hannah Plomer, from her uncle Robert Plomer.

In 1763 the Henry Scott, 3rd Duke of Buccleuch, who owned much of Stretton, had an estate map drawn up showing details of the village in that year. Stanes' name appears on the map showing that he owned a piece of land in the centre of the village now occupied by the village shop.^[36]Stanes probably had no idea that he and Henry Scott were distantly related. A plan of the parish of Kings Hatfield otherwise Hatfield Broadoak in the county of Essex. Drawn from the surveys of Jno. Mackoun taken in the year 1766 shows Stane's lands in Essex, comprising the manor of Ryes, and that of Lea Hall, to its south. ^[37]

In 1768, the Poll for the Knights of the Shire to Represent the County of Essex taken on Tuesday March 24th shows that Stanes voted for Tory MP Sir William Maynard 4th Bt, and Mr Jacob Houblon (who lost). ^[38]

In 1770, an indenture was drawn up in which Stanes, with the collaboration of other gentlemen in his area and acquaintance, including his son-in-law, Francis Fauquier undertook to maintain the roads, highways, bridges of Ladbroke^[39], Southam, and Ladbroke Parish Church. ^[40] In the record transcription, the Warwick County Record Office has written the date as 22 Sep 1637. This must be incorrect, as (a) there was no Stanes Chamberlayne of the Ryes living at that time, and (b) the indenture states that it was written up on 22nd September, in the tenth year of George III, who came to the throne in 1760. ^[41]

Stanes would have taken part in the usual country activities of his social circle, for his name (under that of Heneage Finch, 2nd Earl of Aylesford) appears in the Gamekeepers’ Deputations of the Occupational and Quarter Session Records, 27th July 1781, where he is called the Lord of the Manor of Stoney Thorpe, and his gamekeeper is named as George Cook, farmer, of the parish of Long Itchington.^[42]George Cook is buried in the churchyard of St James' Southam.

The Chamberlaynes' neighbours included the Houblons, the Maynards and Barringtons. Stanes' family may well have been invited to the christening of Jacob Houblon's eldest son, at Hallingbury Place on 9 September 1736, an event which was reported to have been more than unusually uproarious.

Most of the gentlemen within 15 or 20 miles of Mr Houblon's seat in Essex were present, and most of the common people within 4 or 5 miles, were made so welcome that they lay in heaps round his house dead drunk. There were three courses of upwards of 200 dishes each, and two tables, at which were 400 persons serv'd all at once, with all sorts of rarities and sweetmeats. Sir John Hynd Cotton and Sir Robert Abdy, Barts., were god- fathers, the latter being proxy for Dr Houblon, and the Child was nam'd Jacob. There was a grand Concert of Musick at Dinner, and a noble Ball at night, from which the Company did not break up till the next morning. There were 20 Knights and Baronets, and 150 gentlemen, and about as many ladies. All the stables were taken up some miles about.' ^[43]

In December 1771, a tragedy occurred at Stoney Thorpe, when two men, who may have been doing some work on the roof of the house, were killed when their ladder gave way and broke. 'Hitchman Wright, a Tyler, and Joseph Midgriffe, a Pauper' were buried on 17th and 27th December, respectively. As Joseph Midgriffe was buried later, perhaps he also died later than Wright, presumably from his injuries. Their burial record states

These last 2 men was hurt by the Breaking of a Ladder at Thorpe House.

Burial Record of Hitchman Wright and Joseph Midgriffe [44]

He was nominated for the position of High Sheriff of Essex in November 1777.

Ipswich Journal - Saturday 15 November 1777

IPSWICH, Nov. 15

Names of the gentlemen nominated for sheriffs, by the Lords of his Majesty's council, the Exchequer, on the morrow of St. Martin. Camb. and Hunt'. Christopher Porter, of Ely; John Johnson, of Leverington, Wm. Coe, of Elme, Esqrs. Staines Chamberlayne, of Hatfield Broadoak; Wm. Lushington, of Latton, Wm. Mills, of Willingale Doe, Esqrs. Hertfordshire^[45]but William Lushington of Latton was the successful candidate.

Death

Stanes died at Stoney Thorp, Long Itchington, Warwickshire on Wednesday, 26 June 1782. ^[46]He and his wife Thermuthes are buried in in the Chamberlayne vault in St Mary's Hatfield Broad Oak.
