Part 2. The children of William Revell of Newbold ... - Rotherham Web

It is clear from a demise dated August 20 th 1428 that his wife Margery has died, as follows: 241
‘Demise by Richard Ryvell of Coventre, gentleman, and Joan, daughter and heiress of the said Richard and Margery his late
wife, to William Noote of Warrewyk, and Margaret his wife, for sixty years, of a tenement and garden in Warrewyk, in the street
of St. Nicholas the bishop, at the end of the bridge, extending to the water culled 'Avoue.' 20 August, 6 Henry VI’.
This must correspond to the property which Richard Ryvell acquired in 1411, see above.
In 1428 an inquisition relating to Long Buckby records ‘De Ricardo Ryvell pro tercia parte ud. f. ibidem, quondam Willelmi
Ryvell. Subs. ij.8. mj.rj.’, 242 which clearly refers to this individual, and it must be this property that he leases in 1431, as
follows: 243
‘A. 9852. Indenture made on the morrow of St. Vincent the Martyr, 9 Henry VI, being a demise by Richard Rewell, 'jentilman,'
of Buckeby, to John Underwode, Thomas Mone, John Robyn, William Tynche, William Blaby, and William Rote, of the same, of
all the lands, &c., adjacent to his manor in all the fields of Buckeby, with two crofts 'in the Westzardis,' reserving to himself a
hill called 'Rowelhylle,' with the 'frisses' below it (cum omnibus firsis sub predicta monte); also demise to them of his great barn
and 'long hous'; term, six years from Michaelmas; rent, 6½ marks, &c. Fragments of seals’.
It would appear that this is a continuation of his maternal grandfather William Revell’s practice of leasing out his manorial lands
to a consortium of his tenants, one of those named here (John Robyn ) appearing to be a descendent of William Robyn named in
1378.
A feoffment dated 1438 implies that he has married second an Agnes, as follows: 244
‘Feoffment by William Osbarne of Asscheby Ligger, 'gentilman,' and John Osbarne of Lilleburne to Richard Ryvell of Bukkeby,
esquire, and Agnes his wife and his heirs assigns of the manor of Bukkeby, with the land &c. in Bukkeby which they had by his
gift. Monday after the Finding of the Holy Cross, 16 Henry VI.’. Ashby St Ledgers is some four miles west and Lilbourne some
seven miles north of Long Buckby.
On April 18 th 1449 a ‘Richard Rybell’ plausibly this individual is recorded as making a grant, as follows: 245
(37) John Heton, Esquire, John Grene, Richard Rybell and William Pere, give, grant, and confirm to Thomas Wermyngton, of
Coventre, and Robert Wermyngton, of Haverbergh, a messuage in Haverbergh, which they lately held conjointly with Laurence
Kay, now deceased, by the gift and feoffment of the aforesaid Thomas Wermington and Robert Wermington, by a deed of feesimple
(per cartam simplicis feodi), to hold, etc., etc.
Witnesses : William Neell, John Laughton, John Person, John Stonton, Richard Stonton, and others.
Dated at Haverbergh, 27 Henry VI., * die Veneris proximo post festum Pasche’. ‘Haverbergh’ is probably Market Harborough.
In 1455 there is a record of a ‘Court of Richard Ryvell, esq., and Agnes his wife’ that mentions Buckby [Northamptonshire],
Broadwell and Leamington Hastings [Warwickshire]. 246 Broadwell and Leamington Hastings are some 12 and 14 miles west of
Long Buckby, respectively.
Agnes Revell is recorded in 1460 as widowed. Richard’s children are dealt with in Part 3, but see also Thomas Revell, below.
An obscure Thomas Ryvell of Edmuscote known also as Reynald and of Bukby ?–1388–1417–?
There is a reference in 1408 to a Thomas Ryvell of Edmescote as follows:
‘Confirmation by Richard son and heir of Joan, daughter of William Ryvell, of a grant by Richard Southard and John
Happesford, of Coventre, merchants, Thomas Ryvell of Edmescote, and John Everdon of Coventre, 'hosyer,' to William
