Chapter VIII: Part 8

Hilton in Cleveland appears to have been the original seat of this ancient family; here it was resident in the twelfth century, and here it remained till the middle of the sixteenth, when Anthony Meynell, the immediate ancestor of the present family, removed by purchase to North Kilvington, which has since continued the residence of his descendants.

See Graves's History of Cleveland; and Burke's Landed Gentry.

ARMS.--_Azure, three bars gemelles and a chief or_. This is the ancient coat of Meysnill or Meynell of Dalby-on-the-Woulds in Leicestershire, and was borne by Trevor de Menyll in the reign of Henry III., and also by Sir Nicholas de Meynell in that of Edward II., with the exception of two instead of three bars gemelles. (Rolls of the dates.)

Present Representative, Thomas Meynell, Esq.

ANNE OF BURGH-WALLIS.

Of this family Mr. Hunter has remarked, that "it is a single instance of the male line being maintained in its ancient port and rank out of all the gentry of the Deanery of Doncaster, summoned to appear before the Heralds in 1584." The pedigree begins with Sir William de Anne, Constable of the Castle of Tickhill in the time of Edward II. He married the coheiress of Haringel, from whom came the manor of Frickley, sold in the latter part of the eighteenth century. Burgh-Wallis came from the heiress of Fenton in the reign of Elizabeth. Mr. Hunter observes, "The Annes, like too many other families, have not been careful of preserving their ancient evidences, and theirs was not one of the muniment rooms to which our diligent antiquary Dodsworth had access."

See Hunter's South Yorkshire, vol. ii. pp. 148, 485.

ARMS.--_Gules, three stag's heads cabossed argent attired or_.

Present Representative, George Anne, Esq.

LISTER OF GISBURN, BARON RIBBLESDALE 1797.

The pedigree is traced to the sixth of Edward II., when John de Lister was resident at Derby. He married the daughter and heiress of John de Bolton, Bowbearer of Bollond, and thus became connected with this county. The elder line was of Mydhope, or Middop, and afterwards, in the reign of Philip and Mary, of Thornton in Craven, and became extinct in 1667. The present family is sprung from Thomas, second son of Christopher Lister, who lived in the time of Edward IV. The Listers were of Gisburn early in the sixteenth century, the ancient seat of Arnoldsbiggin in that manor being their seat for many generations. Lyster, of Rowton, in Shropshire, is supposed to be a branch of this family, though there is no evidence of the fact; Rowton has been in possession of the Lysters since 1482.

See Whitaker's Craven, ed. 1812, pp. 38, 103; and Brydges's Collins, vol. viii. p. 584; and for Rowton, Blakeway's Sheriffs of Salop, p. 144.

ARMS.--_Ermine, on a fess sable three mullets or_. Lyster of Rowton bears the mullets _argent_.

Present Representative, Thomas Lister, 3rd Baron Ribblesdale.

LASCELLES OF HAREWOOD; EARL OF HAREWOOD 1812 BARON 1796.

A family of ancient standing in this county, descended from John de Lascelles, of Hinderskelfe, now called Castle Howard, in the wapentake of Bulmer, in the North riding, living in the ninth year of Edward II. For seven generations immediately following they were called "_Lascelles alias Jackson_." About the reign of Henry VI. they removed to Gawthorpe, also in the North riding, and afterwards to Stank and Northallerton; Harewood was purchased about 1721.

See Whitaker's Leeds, vol. i. p. 169; and Brydges's Collins, vol. viii. p. 508.

ARMS.--_Sable, a cross flory within a border or_. This coat, without the border, was borne by Monsieur Lascelles de Worthorpe, as appears by the Roll of the reign of Edward III. Monsieur Rafe de Lascelles bore at the same period, Argent, three chaplets of roses _vermaux,_ with a border engrailed sable.

Present Representative, Henry Thynne Lascelles, fourth Earl of Harewood.

WOMBWELL OF WOMBWELL, BARONET 1778.

There was a family who took the local name of Wombwell from that manor in the thirteenth century, but this cannot with certainty be connected with it. The pedigree therefore commences with Hugh Wombwell of Wombwell, son of Henry Lowell de Wombwell, living in the reign of Edward III. The elder branch of this family became extinct in the male line on the death of William Wombwell of Wombwell, Esq. in 1733. Part of the estate from whence the name is derived belongs to the present family, who represent a junior line, descended from George Wombwell, of Leeds, who died in 1682, by purchase of the coheirs.

See Hunter's South Yorkshire, vol. ii. p. 124.

ARMS.--_Gules, a bend between six unicorn's heads cooped argent_; and so borne in the sixth of Henry IV.

Present Representative, Sir George Orby Wombwell, 4th Baronet.

PALMES OF NABURN.

There appears no reason to doubt the antiquity of this family, said to be descended from Manfred Palmes, living in the reign of Stephen, and seated at Naburn since the year 1226, by a match with the heiress of Watterville.

See Burke's Landed Gentry.

ARMS.--_Gules, three fleurs-de-lis argent, a chief vaire_.

Present Representative, the Rev, William Lindsay Palmes.

ROUNDELL OF SCREVEN.

On the authority of Whitaker we learn that Screven has been in this family since the early part of the fifteenth century; the first recorded ancestor being John Roundell, of Screven, living in the third of Henry VI.

See Whitaker's Craven, ed. 1812, p. 76.

ARMS.--_Or, a fess gules between three olive-branches vert_.

Present Representative, the Rev. Danson Richardson Roundell.

"There is no subject more difficult to be dwelt on than that of honourable descent; none on which the world are greater sceptics, none more offensive to them; and yet there is no quality to which every one in his heart pays so great a respect."--SIR EGERTON BRYDGES'S Autobiography, p. 153.
