Ash High House was erected by William Glover, Esq., a retainer of Thomas Howard, Earl of Suffolk, about the year 1600; and obtained its present appellation from the circumstance of its being four stories in height. In or about the year 1652, William Glover, Esq., his grandson, sold this estate to John Sheppard, Gent., a descendant of a family of considerable antiquity, originally seated at Mendlesham, in this county. The Gentleman's Magazine for 1830, at pages 398 and 510, contains biographical notices of this respectable family, from which account we derive the following particulars: The John Sheppard who purchased this estate, and removing hither made it his residence, was cldest son of John Sheppard, who lived at Mendlesham, in the reigns of James and Charles I., by Elizabeth his wife, daughter of John Lane, of this parish, Gent. Their second son, Edmund, continued at Mendlesham. John, only son of John Sheppard, of this parish, died unmarried in 1671, and devised this property to be sold by his kinsman, Edmund Sheppard, jun., who thereupon disposed of it to his father, Edmund Sheppard, of Rendlesham, Gent., who died in 1676; and this estate descended to the above-mentioned Edmund Sheppard, Esq., who, removing from Mendlesham, made this his future residence. He married Anne, only daughter of Sir John Coell, of Depden, Knt., one of the Masters in Chancery, during the reign of King Charles II.; by whom he had several children, all of whom, however, died unmarried, excepting John, who survived him. He died here in 1708, and was succeeded by his son, John Sheppard ; who, after his father's decease, made great additions to his seat here, and considerable improvements. He married the Right Hon. Anne, Countess of Leicester, relict of the Right Hon. Philip Sydney, fifth Earl of Leicester, and one of the daughters and coheiresses of Sir Robert Reeve (alias Wright), of Thwaite, in this county, Bart., by whom he had no issue. He married, secondly, Hannah Wilmot, by whom, likewise, he had no issue. Mr. Sheppard died in 1747, and it appears that he was succeeded in his estates by his kinsman, John Sheppard, a descendant from a branch of this family, who became early seated at Wetheringset, in this county, and a descendant of his is the present proprietor ; & A view of this house is given in the "Excursions in Suffolk."
