Signed and sealed at botton centre by John Duke, and signed at right by Thomas Bransby (apparently a later addition, per www.abebooks.co.uk); at left "sealed and .... in the presence of Simon ....., Sutton". Note: "The River Waveney is a river which forms the boundary between Suffolk and Norfolk, England, for much of its length within The Broads. There are several lakes on the south bank, the largest covering 100 acres (40 ha), which were once Weybread Gravel Pits, but are now used for fishing" (Wikipedia). A tributary joins it at Weybread Mill, originally the manorial grain mill. John Duke was lord of the manor of Worlingham in Suffolk. The monument of his first wife Parnell Rous (d.1637) survives in Worlingham Church. John Hobart was a landowner in East Anglia and at Blickling in Norfolk where Sir Henry Hobart was the deputy Swan-Master for east Norfolk and Suffolk in 1625. (Source: /www.abebooks.co.uk[2]) See: All Saints Church, Worlingham, Suffolk, monument to Parnell Rous (d.1637) (and to her daughter Anne Duke (d.1658)), a daughter of Sir Thomas Rous, of Henham Hall, Suffolk (by his wife Parnel Goodwin, a daughter of Sir John Goodwin of Upper Winchendon, Bucks), and a sister of Sir John Rous (1586-1652), of Henham Hall, MP for Dunwich (https://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1604-1629/member/rous-sir-john-i-1586-1652). She was the wife of John Duke of Worlingham. Same arms as Duke baronets of Behhall, Suffolk, created 1661, for Sir Edward Duke, 1st Baronet (c.1604-1671) of Benhall, MP, son of Ambrose Duke of Benhall and his wife Elizabeth Calthrop, daughter of Bartholemew Calthrop of Suffolk. From Alfred Suckling, 'Worlingham', in The History and Antiquities of the County of Suffolk: Volume 1 (Ipswich, 1846), pp. 103-111[3]: A branch of the ancient family of Duke was afterwards long possessed of this manor (Worlingham). Robert Duke was living here in the reign of Henry VIII. John Duke, Esq., married Parnel, daughter of Sir Thomas Rous, of Henham, soon after the year 1600; and in 1649, Thomas Duke, of Worlingham, Esq., was seized of the advowson and manor of Diss, in Norfolk. (fn. 5) It afterwards became the property of John Felton, Esq., son of Sir John Felton, of Playford;. |
