Gedurende Sir Richard se leeftyd was Koningin Elizabeth (r.1558-1603)
die koningin van Engeland. Wrywing met
die Spaanse matrose het die stryd met Spanje verhaas. Toe die Nederlanders in opstand teen die Spaanse
oorheersing kom, het Elizabeth hulle in
die geheim aangemoedig; Phillip II het Katolieke sameswerings teen haar
ondersteun. Hierdie Nie-verklaarde oorlog is voortgesit vir baie jare, tot en
met die landing van 'n Engelse leër in Nederland in 1585 en Mary se terregstelling
in 1587. Philip se Armada (die vloot wat
in 1588 gestuur is om Engeland aan te val) was 'n totale ramp. (Royal family
history) Die Spaanse Armada se taak was om Protestant
Engeland omver te werp. Dit was 'n
gevierde oorwinning vir Engeland en het meer van 'n held van Sir Francis Drake gemaak
as wat hy reeds was. Die oorlog met
Spanje het voortgegaan tot aan die einde van koningin Elizabeth se
regeringstyd.
Volgens William Getham se ‘The
Baronetage of England: Or The History of the English Baronets ..., Volume 1’
word die Boughton familie van Lawford, Warwickshire as volg beskryf. Thomas
Boughton, Esq, who married Margaret,
daughter and heiress of Edward Cave, Esq and by grant, 37 Henry VIII had
possession of Causton in the parish of Dunchurch. He was father of Edward Boughton, who through
the countenance of Robert, earl of Leicester bore a great sway in this county
and having got materials, by pulling down the White Friar’s
Church, in Coventry, raised here the most beautiful fabric that was then in all
these parts. He married Susannah, daughter
of Sir John Brocket, Knt. And died in
1589, leaving a daughter, Margaret, the wife of Thomas Trussell, of Billesley
Colvar, Esq and Henry his son and heir who by his first wife, Howard, daughter
of Edward Leigh of Rushall in Staffordshire, Esq had issue Edward, who died in
Oct. 1642 leaving a daughter, the wife first of Sir Richard Wortley of Wortley
in Yorkshire and secondly of William Cavendish first Earl of Devonshire. (London

Register of admissions to the Middle Temple. In very early days it seems that the method of
admitting members was somewhat varied.
Occasionally they were admitted by the authority of the Treasurer
alone; sometimes by that of the Reader
and even by individual Benchers, but on the 12th May, 1557, a stricter
sysem was introduced and it was ordered by Parliament “that no person shall be
admitted generally or specially, by the Treasurer, without the consent of the
whole Council of Masters of the Bench, except in time of reading when the
authority of admission is granted to the Reader and his Assistant” (https://archive.org/stream/middletemplereco01hopwuoft/middletemplereco01hopwuoft_djvu.txt)

Boughton (Edward Boughton van Cawston) made his will 30 June 1589, leaving his moveables and livestock at Cawston to his wife. In a codicil he stipulated that, after her death, the household goods at Cawston and the manor itself should pass to his eldest son Henry. Henry was also to have all his household stuff at the manor house of Withybrook—a manor purchased by Boughton—and the lease of some property at Willoughby, a few miles south of Rugby. Withybrook was placed in trust with various ‘loving friends’, including Sir John Harington, Humphrey Davenport, George Croke and John Croke the younger, for the benefit of his four unmarried daughters. His two younger sons and his brother Edward were each to have £10 a year. As executors, he appointed his son-in-law Richard Wortley, and Humphrey Davenport. Sir John Harington, the Crokes, and one Charles Hales were asked to be overseers. Any ambiguities in the will were to be clarified by Sir Thomas Lucy and Thomas Andrews of Charwelton, Northamptonshire. Boughton died 12 Sept. 1589, when his son Henry was about 22. The executors were involved in litigation started by Sir Christopher Blount, who claimed an annuity of £40 out of Wedgenock park, and asserted that Boughton had received all the rents as bailiff. Blount supported his claim with reference to Leicester’s debts to the Queen and others, but the executors replied that Boughton had had warrant from Leicester to ‘withstand’ Blount, while Wortley specifically mentioned seeing an acquittance of all rents and profits.

Die gemeente was in Tudor tye die basis van plaaslike regering. Die belangrikste persoon, wat as magistraat
aangestel was, was die Justice of the
Peace genoem. (Lambert, Tim: Daily life in Tudor England) In
1590 was Richard Wortley, Justice of the Peace
for West Riding (32 Q Elizabeth), ‘n posisie wat hy steeds in 1602 beklee
het. On
the 8th day of April, 44 Eliz. The subjoined assessments were agreed
upon at York by her Majesty’s council in the north, which consisted of the
following persons: - Sir William Mallory and Sir Thomas Fairfax, Knts.; Edward Stanhope and Charles Shales,
Esqs; Drs. Gibson and Bennett, and Mr
Secretary Ferne; some justices of the
peace were also present, viz, Sir George Saville, Sir Edward Yorke, and Sir
Thomas Lascelles, Knts; Marmaduke

Robert Kaye, John Alured, Thomas Talbot, Richard Aldburgh, Stephen Proctor,

Barnsley in Yorkshire from an early period. 1858). In die West Riding Sessions Rolls, 1597/8-1602: Prefaced by Certain
Proceedings in .. edited by John Lister, kom Richard Wortley se
naam verskeie keer voor.
In die somer van 1590, het die huurders van die manor of Monk Bretton in
Yorkshire, wat vir lang tyd betrokke was in 'n behuisingsgeskil met 'n
naburige verhuurder, Richard Wortley, ‘n petisie aan Burghley gestuur, waarin
hulle kla van Wortley se verbreking van spirit
of orders made in the Exchequer the previous year. Die huurders het 'n bevel teen Wortley gesoek
en die uitreiking van 'n opdrag aan Christopher Saxton en andere om 'n plan te maak ten opsigte van
die herehuis en die lande wat in die twis betrokke was. Burghley het die petisie vir Baron Sotherton
en die Remembrancer, Fanshawe, aangestuur met instruksie dat hulle met Wortley moes
praat. Hulle het die petisie met 'n nota
teruggestuur, wat sê dat Wortley London verlaat het, voordat hulle die petisie
ontvang het en dat hulle in sy afwesigheid huiwerig was om voort te gaan met 'n
bevel teen hom, maar dat hulle dit goedkeur - the making of a plan. (Hoyle, R.W. ed. : The estates of the English crown 1558-1640,
Cambridge, 1992. P.50)
Toe Richard vir Wharncliffe Chase uitgebrei en vir New Park daarbinne ingesluit het, het hy vurige teenstand
van die minor gentry en yeoman families van die naburige
Hallamshire, waarvan sommiges beamptes van die Earl of Shrewsbury by Sheffield Castle en die Manor Lodge was,
gekry. Die New Park wat ingesluit was by
die Grenoside end of Wharncliffe Chase
is in die 1590's geskep. Dit het die grond
van die dorp Stansfield ingesluit. (Newton, Richard: Wortley through the ages. The History of the Long Term Development of
the Landscape Surrounding Wortley Hall from the End of the Ice Age to the
Modern Period.)
In 1591, eleven people were charged with
hunting deer in the park and vandalising walls and fences. They are also said
to have hung the body of a deer from gallows and nailed it’s head to Wortley
Church door. (Andy
Hemmingway. (https://andyhemingway.wordpress.com/page/5/?app-download=windowsphone) Gilbert Dickenson en sy vrou het 'n kerkbank in die Ecclesfield Kerk gehad. Dié
man van Elizabeth Howsley moes ‘n klag van Richard Lord, Vicar of Ecclesfield
aanhoor. Hy was, saam met ander, betrokke
by die doodmaak van bokke in
Wharncliffe Chase en die afbreek van die paalheining in die park, sowel as die growwe
belediging van Sir Richard Wortley. (Habershon, Mathew Henry: Chapeltown researches, archaeological and
historical; including old-time memories of Thorncliff, its ironworks and
collieries and their antecedents.
Sheffield. 1893) The vicar of Ecclesfield told the Court of
Chancery in 1594 that a great part of the pale of Wortley Park had been broken
in pieces and pulled down in the night time and that on several occations the
wall of Wharncliffe Chase had been pulled down and overthroun and the deer removed. He had also heard that: “ there weare little powles or sticks put upp
in dyvers places within the Lordshipp of Wortley in the night season in forme
of gallows, and deeres fleshe hanged thereupon… (and) that there was a deares
head sett upp in the portche of the Chappell att Wortley and a slanderous Libel
fixed or sewed thereunto.” Yet the men
who committed these outrages were not punished.
They seem to have been retaliating against the wrongdoings of Sir
Richard Wortley and his circle and to have been confident of the protection of
the Earl of Shrewsbury. (Hey,
David: A history of the Peak District Moors)
In die tyd toe die New Park geskep is, het die Old
Park agteruitgegaan. Hierdie grond is opgedeel vir boerdery
doeleindes en die deer is verwyder. In die moderne tyd is die Old Park bekend as Wortley
Park en die grond word grootliks vir boerdery of weiding gebruik. (Newton, Richard: Wortley through the
ages. The History of the Long Term

Age to the Modern Period.)

The
rent for Peniston was £31. Smyth soon after, for £120, assigned the remainder
of his lease to Francis Wortley, of Wortley, esq., from whom it passed to his
son sir Richard Wortley, who had a renewal of the lease, first for a term, and
then for three lives, and was in possession in 37 Elizabeth, 1595. In that year
terminated a great suit, which had been carried on between sir Richard Wortley
and the owners of lands in the parish of Peniston, respecting the mode of
tithing. Sir Richard exhibited his bill in the Court of Exchequer, against John
Haigh, William Hinchhfl, Matthew Jessop, Ralph Jessop, Rainold Saunderson,
Thomas Beighton, and George Walker, supposing that they ought to pay their
tithe corn and hay, and other tithable things, in their proper kind. Wortley
had also a particular suit on the same ground to maintain with Francis Bosvile,
for tithe of Gunthwaite, in the Ecclesiastical Court at York, and the Court of
Common Pleas, at Westminster; and as late as 1639, the same question was moved
respecting tithe of Oxspring, between sir Francis Wortley, bart., and Godfrey
Bosvile, esq. (https://huddersfield.exposed/api/content/books/ocr/17984/)
Geleë op die Idlerivier, in die
noord-ooste van Nottinghamshire in die hundred of Bassetlaw, 32 myl vanaf
Nottingham, was East Retford ('n belangrike markdorp en administratiewe sentrum),
wie se voorstede uitstrek na die naburige gemeentes van West Retford,
Clarborough en Ordsall. Dit was 'n plek waar
county magistrates gereeld vergader
het en dit was ook die sentrum van die plaaslike deanery. East Retford het gespog
met 'n goeie tekstielbedryf, hoewel dit in hierdie tydperk afgeneem het, wat gelei het na ‘n bevolkingsafname van ongeveer 1150 in 1603 tot ongeveer 850 in
die laat 1620s. East Retford was een
keer in die Parlement in die vroeë veertiende eeu verteenwoordig, maar het nie weer
lede voor 1571 opgelewer nie. The franchise rested with the freemen, the
two bailiffs acted as returning officers and elections were held at the
Moothall. Returns were made in the name of the bailiffs and burgesses, and were
signed by the bailiffs. There is no evidence that the corporation tried to
promote any legislation in Parliament or that its Members were ever paid. Of the 11 Members elected in this period,
none were townsmen and only four – Cavendish, Holles, Stanhope and Thornhaugh –
were Nottinghamshire residents. Of these four, Stanhope lived in the south of
the county. As many Members came from the West Riding of Yorkshire (John Darcy,
the Wortleys and Sir Edward Osborne) as from Nottinghamshire, which was
probably attributable to East Retford’s location close to the Yorkshire border. (http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1604-1629/constituencies/east-retford)
Richard Wortley het twee manors,
Babworth en Bollom, beide binne 'n paar kilometer van East Retford af besit. When he
had settled the estate in 1597 these properties formed part of his wife’s
jointure. (The history of Parliament) In
Queen Elizabeths time Richard Worteley paid for his lands in Babworth,
sometimes William de Grindons, held by the service of half a knights fee 3s.
4d. (Robert Thoroton, 'Babworth,
Moreton, and Normanton', in Thoroton's History of Nottinghamshire: Volume 3,
Republished With Large Additions By John Throsby, ed. John Throsby (Nottingham,
1796), pp. 447-449)
The rectory of Babworth was 20l. when the prior of
Newstede was patron: 'Tis now 14l. 19s. 7d. value in the Kings books, and Sir
Edward Worteley the last patron. (Robert Thoroton, 'Moretons', in Thoroton's
History of Nottinghamshire: Volume 3, Republished With Large Additions By John
Throsby, ed. John Throsby (Nottingham, 1796), p. 450)
Verder het die gravin ekstensiewe eiendomme gekoop by Ordsall binne 'n
myl vanaf East Retford, wat sy op Wortley gevestig settled het. This is a good rectory, formerly under the
patronage of the Wortley family. (Robert
Thoroton, 'Ordeshall', in Thoroton's History of Nottinghamshire: Volume 3,
Republished With Large Additions By John Throsby, ed. John Throsby (Nottingham,
1796), pp. 451-45) The
last of the de Hency family was Sir John, who died in 1570. His daughter, Barbara, married George
Nevile, who probably sold the Ordsall property with the Advowson to Samuel
Bevercotes, and so he became possessed of the living. Na ‘n kort rukkie het dit in die besit van die
Wortley family in Yorkshire gekom. Thomas Cornwallis
married Anne, only daughter of Samuel Bevercotes, and he sold his Ordsall
property to Lady Wortley, who became Countess of Devonshire on her second
marriage. (http://www.nottshistory.org.uk/monographs/ordsall1940/ordsall10.htm)
Mr. Cornwallis shortly afterwards sold the Ordsall
estate to the Countess of Devonshire, who settled it on her eldest son, Sir
Edward Wortley. The patronage of the Church went with the Manor, and this
continued in the Wortley family for nearly three centuries. (http://www.nottshistory.org.uk/monographs/ordsall1940/ordsall21.htm)
So
the living came to her grandson, Sir Francis Wortley father of Anne, who was
patron in 1673. The rectory of Ordesall
was 24l. when Mr: Hersy was patron: 'Tis now 19l: 18s: 11d: ob. value in the
kings books, and Sir Francis Worteley the last patron. (Robert Thoroton, 'Ordeshall', in Thoroton's

the earl of Devonshire owned the advowson of East Retford parish church. (The

Julie 1597. Simon Charlesworth de Cartworth v. Ricardus Wortley, crown farmer of
the rectory of the parish church of Kirkburton, for prosecuting a plea against
him in the Court Christian for the subtraction of tithes. The plaintiff states that one “Ricardus
Litlewod nuper de Oldfield, in Henley (Ebor), on 1st Aug. 30 Eliz.
Was seized of one messuage, called “Le damme howse,” and of and in 20 acres of
land, in Cartworth, within the parish of Kirkeburton and on the same day
demised the same to the plaintiff for 21 years;
that the said Ricardus Litlewood, and all holding his estate in the
aforesaid tenements, from time immemorial, have been accustomed to pay to the rector
of the parish church of Kirkeburton 20d. annually for all the tythes arising on
the said tenements, and also have been accustomed until 20 Eliz. To pay to
vicar of the said church for the time being, at his request, 5d. yearly at
Easter, in lieu of all the tythes of hay on the said tenements, and also for 19
years last past, to pay to the sad rector 5d. in lieu of all the tythes of
hay; and that the said defendant,
notwithstanding such compositions and contrary to statute, prosecuted the said
plea for certain tythes which are set forth.
The defendant stated that the said rectory was granted to him by letters
patent, dated 22nd Dec. 32 Eliz.
The jury return a verdict, confirming the statement of the
plaintiff. Judgment incomplete. (House of Commons Papers, Volume 1 By Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons)
Tot op hierdie stadium,
het nie een van die Wortley voorgeslagte in die Parliament gedien nie. Richard Wortley took a prominent part in
the hotly contested county election of 1597 as teller for the Court candidates
against Sir John Savile. (The history of parliament

Die High Commission ingevolge die wet van 1 Eliz I. Die kommissarisse is deur koninklike letters patent aangestel, en was by mag
om geestelike en kerklike sake aan te hoor. Hul magte, veral die magte van
arrestasie en tronkstraf, was meer omvangryk as dié van die gewone kerklike
howe (the Consistory courts), en is
bitterlik betwis deur die voorstanders van die Common Law. Die reg van die Crown om Kommissies te stig om kerklike sake aan te
hoor is afgeskaf in 1641, en die High
Commission court is nie weer heringestel ná die Restoration nie. (Durham University Library Special

Die Nege-jarige Oorlog het in Ierland plaasgevind van 1594
tot 1603. Hierdie oorlog was tussen die
magte van Gaelic Ierse leiers Hugh
O'Neill van Tir Eoghain, Hugh Roe O'Donnell van Tir Chonaill en hulle
bondgenote, teen die Engelse heerskappy in Ierland. Die oorlog teen O'Neill en sy bondgenote was
die grootste stryd van Engeland in die Elizabethaanse era. Met die hoogtepunt van die konflik (1600-1601)
het meer as 18.000 soldate in die Engelse leër in Ierland geveg. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine_Years'_War_(Ireland))

Die herhalende uitbreek van die plague
(1558, 1565, 1587) met die gevolglike arbeidstekorte en die dood van baie lede
van die aristokrasie, het die invloed en winste van grondeienaars vinniger laat
afneem. Feodale erkenning was in munt
betaal teen 'n permanent vasgestelde bedrag. Daarom het hul waarde saam met die inkomste
van die feodale lords gedaal. (Newton, Richard: Wortley through the ages. The History of the Long Term Development of
the Landscape Surrounding Wortley Hall from the End of the Ice Age to the
Modern Period.)
In 1603 het Richard Wortley probeer om sy winste te verhoog deur tiendes
te eis in plaas van die gebruiklike klein kontant betaling. Hy het
egter die saak in die hof verloor. In 1603 George Blount of Moore Hall disputed
Wortley’s attempted increase in tithe payments and won his case. It maybe that
the character of More of More Hall in the tale is based on him. (Andy
Hemmingway. https://andyhemingway.wordpress.com/page/5/?app-download=windowsphone) 'n Gebeurtenis
waarna verwys word (deur die doodmaak van die draak) in die ballade, The Dragon of Wantley. (Newton, Richard: Wortley through the
ages. The History of the Long Term
Development of the Landscape Surrounding Wortley Hall from the End of the Ice
Age to the Modern Period.) According to Percy’s Reliques, the satirical ballad
‘The Dragon of Wantley’ celebrates the victory of the parishioners of Penistone
in the West Riding over Wortley in a lawsuit concerning a dispute about tithes,
with Wortley featuring as the dragon. However others have suggested that this
tale was an adaptation of an older legend. (The history of

suidelike transept (in 'n
kruis-vormige kerk - een van die twee dele wat die arms van die kruis vorm) vorm

sy begeerte om elders begrawe te word, deur sy eksekuteurs bewillig vir die graf en monument van Sir Reynald Bray, KG. (Windsor

Die eerste monument,
in die volgorde waarin hulle tentoon gestel word, is dié van dr Giles Thomson,
biskop van Gloucester. Langsaan, (Dr. Giles Thomson), is 'n monument ondersteun
deur twee kunstige marmer pilare en die geheel is omring met pragtige blare.
The tomb of Sir
Richard Wortley who died, in 1603, is supported by two marble pillars, encompassed
with foliage; an inscription in the
Latin language eulogises his character, declaring him to have been deservedly
esteemed by all ranks and classes. (The
Royal Windsor Guide, with a brief account of Eton. A new edition, revised
Windsor. 1834. P. 24) Op die graf is gegraveer:
In obitum RICHARD WORTLEY de WORTLEY
in commitatu Ebor
Equitis Aurati, qui obiit 25 Die Junii 1603
Die grafskrif is in
Latyn en in Engels vertaal:
Wortley, the grief and glory of his
age,
Of People, King, and Knights, the love
and grace,
Here lies entomb'd; his loss his
Country grieves,
His loss the Poor, to both his aid he
gave;
When will Truth, Piety, and the sacred
train
Of Virtues, find so good, so great a
Man?
One like him's found, but of the female
king,
Unlike in sex, his Wife's the same in
mind.

Jan, 13, 1603-4. Certificate
from Mr. Arthur Kay, clk, dean of Doncaster, and Edmund Cundie, curate of Wortley,
that administration of the goods of Sir Richard Wortley of Wortley, knt. Had
been granted to his relict, Elizabeth Wortley.
She also had the tuition of their children, Mary, Ann, Elizabeth,

In 1642, het die huis en grond van Harper Hill aan die gravin van
Devonshire, Sir Richard Wortley se weduwee behoort. ‘n Liefdadigheidsorganisasie
is gestig, wat bepaal dat die huurinkomste daarvan, gedeel word tussen twee
persone uit Wortley en twee persone uit Tankersley. Vandag staan dit bekend as die Tankersley and Wortley Poor's Estate. (Fifteen

St. Leonards Church Wortley
Onder 'n skikking wat afgedwing was op sy diep-in-die-skuld
ouer broer, Sir Francis Wortley het Sir Edward Wortley, saam met Sir Henry Croft,
sy ma opgevolg in beheer van die Wortley landgoed toe sy gesterf het in 1642,
as trustees vir sy royalist neef
Francis. (The history of parliament) It is remarkable that in the month immediately
succeeding the death of the countess a warrant was issued by the Marquis
Newcastle to Sir Francis Wortley, not only to disarm and disenable his brother,
Sir Edward Wortley, who had been put into possession of the estates of their
mother, for safety's sake, no doubt, and had espoused the side of parliament,
which was gaining the upper hand; but also to imprison him, if he found cause,
and he was himself to handle the lands and cause them to be tilled, manured,
and sown, according to the course of husbandry, so that they might the better 3'ield
profits and contribute assessments to the king's commissioners. This order does
not appear to have been executed, for it came from the weaker side. It was
dated 25th November, 1643. 'The estates became sequestered under the
commonwealth, and on the 4th April, 1646, Francis Wortley, the younger, took
the national covenant and compounded for the lands to which he was heir. (Gatty, Alfred, rev., D.D. vicar of Ecclesfield, and sub, dean of
York: Wortley & the Wortleys - a
lecture delivered before the Sheffield literary and philosophical society also
the Rotherham literary and scientific society, 1877, Sheffield) In 1648
information was given that Sir Edward Wortley, Bart, of Great St.
Bartholomew's, had in his hands a jewel worth "1,500, given by the Countess
of Devon to Sir Henry Griffith's lady, and for which Sir Henry had not
compounded.
