HatchmentsTwo hatchments for two successive owners of Lynford Hall, Mundford. Text from: www.breckslandscape.co.uk [1]: "The Lynford Hall estate passed to George Eyres in 1805 and then in 1827 to Sir Richard Sutton, 2nd Baronet (1798-1855), a passionate fox-hunter and Master of the Quorn Hunt, 1847 to 1856. Sutton married Mary Elizabeth Burton (1797-1842), elder daughter of Benjamin Burton, of Burton Hall, County Carlow, Ireland (a second cousin patrilineally of the 2nd Marquess Conyngham). In 1856, a year after Sutton's death, the 18th century house and grounds were sold to w:Stephens Lyne-Stephens (1801-1860). Mrs Lyne Stephens remained in the house following her husband’s death in 1860. The hall was restored, after damage by fire in 1928, by James Calder in the 1930s before being sold to the Forestry Commission. It returned to private ownership in the 1960s and has been run as a hotel since then. The Old Hall was originally built around 1500, and was used as a farmhouse until the 18th century. Following the change of ownership in 1717, a second hall was built between 1717 and 1720, the Old Hall continuing to be used as a farmhouse. Further alterations were made, including those by C.R. Cockrell in 1827, when Sir Richard Sutton bought the property. The various alterations made to the hall were concealed by an outer casing of white brick. The 18th century building was demolished in 1863. The current building was completed in 1862 on a site around 400m north of the 18th century house. HeraldrySir Richard Sutton, 2nd Baronet (1798-1855) of Lynford HallText from: Farrer, Edmund, Church Heraldry of Norfolk, Vol 2 (1889), p.157 [Farrer, Edmund, Church Heraldry of Norfolk, Vol 2 (1889)]:
Stephens Lyne-Stephens (1801-1860) of Lynford Hall
Lyne-Stephens familySee: Jenifer Roberts, Glass: The Strange History of the Lyne Stephens Fortune, 2003. w:Stephens Lyne-Stephens (1801-1860) of Lynford Hall (which he purchased in 1856, with 8,000 acres), was lord of the manor of East and West Hall in this parish (i.e. Mundford) (per Farrer). He was the only son of Charles Lyne (afterwards Lyne Stephens) of Pole Vellyn, Cornwall and Wilhelmina Augusta Tonkin, da. of William Tonkin of Lisbon. His Lyne ancestors had long been resident in Cornwall. In 1826 his father, whose occupation is unknown, took the additional name of Stephens in memory of his cousin, John James Stephens, a merchant at Lisbon, who had named him as the residuary legatee of his will, which was proved under £600,000 (Source: History of Parliament biog[2]). Cambridge University Heraldic & Genealogical Society[3]: "The Story of an Unusual Coat of Arms" What links one of the largest industrial fortunes of the eighteenth century – a fortune made in a glass factory in the wilds of northern Portugal – with the Lynford Estate in Norfolk and the building of a church in Cambridge at a cost (in to-day's values) of almost five million pounds? The Society's speaker on May 18th, 2006 will be Jenifer Roberts who is not the first person to have heard the legend of a vast family fortune which melted away down the centuries but, perhaps, is the first to have written a fascinating book about her researches. Her talk will follow the fortune through several generations of two families, Lyne and Stephens, who combined their names and coats of arms in 1828. It is a true story of rags to riches: how the illegitimate son of a servant girl became the richest industrialist in Europe; how, in the next generation, the son of a Cornish clergyman became the richest commoner in England and how, sixty years later, a French ballerina provided the funds of almost five million pounds (in to-day's values) to build the Catholic Church in Cambridge.
