William Talbot (I) ¹⁶⁹³

  General Notes:

The Talbots of Broadmayne emerge in the 1623 Heralds' Visitation, and a little more information is available in John Hutchins's 'Dorset' and in an article by E. R. Sykes on Little Mayne in the Proceedings of the Dorset Natural History and Archaeological Society vol.59 (1937).

William Talbot is recorded in Alumni Oxoniensis as having been at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, in 1547. BA supd 1551. Inner Temple 1555. 'As of Broad Mayne, Dorset'. This suggests he was born about 1530. ¹⁶⁹³

  Events

• Land: Manor of Broadmayne, 1560, Broadmayne, Dorset, England. ¹⁶⁹³ In 1544, in the 35 year of the reign of Henry VIII, a James Talbot bought some land in Broadmayne from the West family. William would buy the manor and other lands from Lord Delaware about 1560.

Somerset and Dorset Notes and Queries vol.6: Mich. 2nd and 3rd years Elizabeth I: 'William Talbott v. William West, Lord Laware - manor of Mayne Martell and lands there and elsewhere. Vouchee: Leonard West.' I presume this is Talbot's purchase of the manor of Broadmayne.
