The Freres of Clare are the only family which seems likely to have been in any way connected with the other Suffolk Freres. If there was any connection, it must have been at an early date, for the wills of the Clare Freres go back as far as 1516, and these appear to be the same Freres who had lived at Mildenhall in the 14th and 15th centuries. No arms are recorded in connection with the Clare family; but the Fryers of Harlton, in Cambridgeshire, who were the descendants of a John Frere, of Balsham in Cambridgeshire (very near Clare), who died in 1510, seem to have recognised a relationship; for a John Fryer, M.D., of Harlton, whose will was proved 21st Nov. 1672 (Prin. Prob. Reg.), left a legacy to John Frere of Worth, brother of Edward Frere of Finningham and Wickham Skeith.

As early as the days of Henry VI , we are reminded by Sir John Fortescue " that knights, barons, and the greatest nobility of the Kingdom often " place their children in these Inns of Court, not so much to make the laws " their study, much less to live by their profession, having large patrimonies " of their own, but to form their manners." In the Registers of these Inns we consequently find information which elsewhere we seek in vain, relating to families and individuals in every portion of the realm; the fact, moreover, that this information is contained in a legal register, invests it with an authority superior to that of the treasured Heralds' Visitations, while it enjoys with them the advantage of dealing with the aristocratic classes. For, to quote from Feme's Glory of Generosity (London, 1586): — "Nobleness of blood, joyned with virtue, compteth the person as "most meet to the enterprizing of any publick service ; and for that cause it was, not " for nought, that our antient Governors in this land, did with a special foresight and "Wisdom, provide, that none should be admitted into the Houses of Court, being "Seminaries, sending forth men apt to the Government of Justice, except he were a "gentleman of blood."

Biography

Brandling’s great-grandfather, a Northumberland man, made his fortune as a merchant adventurer at Newcastle at the end of the fifteenth century. His eldest son, Sir Robert Brandling, represented the borough five times in Parliament; his business and lands in Jesmond and North Gosforth, Northumberland were inherited by his nephew William, who also acquired the manor of Felling, co. Durham, a mining area which yielded huge profits as the Tyneside coal trade boomed over the next generation. William died in 1575, when his son, the future MP, was only an infant; the family was therefore not involved in two key developments of the late Elizabethan period, the acquisition of the Grand Lease of Durham coalmines in 1583, and the foundation of the Newcastle Hostmen’s Company in 1600.  Several of Brandling’s Newcastle cousins shared his first name, but it was probably the future MP who became a freeman of Newcastle in 1600 and paid £10 to join the Hostmen in the following year. Though not a member of the cartels which took control of coal shipments from 1603, he clearly profited hugely from the trade, claiming to be worth £2,000 a year towards the end of his life. He invested heavily in land, paying £1,001 for the site of Newminster Priory, Northumberland in 1609, and later acquiring a larger property at Alnwick Abbey, Northumberland; he also bought up leases of Crown mines with the assistance of Sir William Smith of London, although the two men eventually fell out over the spoils of a particularly lucrative deal. Clearly a volatile individual, Brandling constantly picked quarrels with rivals, neighbours and even his own family. In 1610 Alderman William Jenison*, who had questioned Brandling’s title to the manor of North Gosforth, was so offended by Brandling’s ‘uncivil and unreasonable speeches’ at a legal hearing that he challenged him to a duel, a gesture which cost him a fine of 1,000 marks. In 1627 Brandling was arrested by his eldest son Sir Francis*, then sheriff of Northumberland, in a dispute over the portions he had provided for his younger children.  In August 1620 Brandling protested to the king about the activities of Sir Peter Riddell*, then mayor of Newcastle, and his brother Sir Thomas*. The grievances he cited included the levying of primage, a duty collected by the Newcastle Trinity House, and the corporation’s ban on the construction of coal wharves along the Tyne by private landowners, who were forbidden to ship coal by the Hostmen’s monopoly. Brandling also observed that the Riddells made a fortune from leasing Crown mines at rents which were only a fraction of their true worth, and suggested that this also applied to the mines comprised in the Grand Lease. These claims were true - many mine owners (including Brandling himself) benefited from such leases - but calling attention to this fact constituted extreme provocation; the corporation’s initial reaction to these complaints was to accuse Brandling of failure to repair his wharf at Felling.  Brandling widened his assault on the inner circle of the Hostmen’s Company following his return as Member for Morpeth at the general election of December 1620. Presumably the sponsor of a bill to overturn the Hostmen’s monopoly of the shipment of coal, which was rejected by the Commons at its first reading on 27 Feb. 1621, he returned to the attack on the afternoon of 26 Mar., the day before the Easter recess, moving ‘that the [Hostmen’s] patent for Newcastle coals may be brought in’. He criticized the duty of 12d. per chaldron the Hostmen had conceded to the Crown in return for their monopoly, but solicitor general Sir Robert Heath warned that the Crown would not tolerate an attack upon its revenues, while Christopher Brooke of York, noting that the Newcastle MPs had already left town, moved to postpone the investigation until the session resumed. In the face of such powerful opposition, it is hardly surprising that nothing more was heard of this complaint. After Easter, the Northumberland MPs lobbied hard to have Berwick exempted from the bill to bar the export of woolfells, but Brandling was conspicuously absent from this caucus; he was, however, named to the committee for the Durham enfranchisement bill (6 Mar.), and another to confirm the 1610 Act regulating moor-burning in the north (26 May). He left no trace upon the records of the autumn sitting.  The fuss Brandling caused in the Commons in 1621 apparently persuaded the Hostmen to cut a deal. He retired from business and by April 1622 his eldest son had joined one of the Hostmen’s cartels for the shipment of coal. A year later Sir Francis took control of the family estates. Despite his retirement, in 1629 Brandling was apparently chosen for a second term as sheriff of Northumberland; he refused and sought refuge across the border in Scotland, but eventually served in the following year. Before he took up this office he was arrested by the Privy Council for ‘insolent and scornful behaviour’ towards the Newcastle corporation in a dispute over his construction of a coal wharf on the banks of the Tyne. This matter had no sooner been resolved than fresh complaints were received from his neighbours at Alnwick; he was summoned before the Council again, notwithstanding his service as sheriff, but after two weeks the cause was referred to the Council in the North. The dispute was eventually tried before the Durham High Commission, which recorded a succession of outrages against local ministers and the diocesan authorities. On 14 May 1634 Brandling was fined £3,000 and ordered to be imprisoned at royal pleasure; he may still have been in gaol when he died only six weeks later, on 29 June. No will or administration has been found.

Biography

As a boy of 13 Bunny was at Basle with his family. His elder brother, a minister, was at one time chaplain to the 2nd Earl of Bedford. Bunny became a servant of George, 6th Earl of Shrewsbury, and it was no doubt as Shrewsbury’s deputy keeper of Pontefract park that he came to represent a duchy borough in Parliament. He is not mentioned in the journals of the House. On the grounds of age it is likely that he rather than his father was the coroner.  Bunny died on 2 May 1608. In his will made 1 May and proved 6 Oct. of that year, he expected to enjoy everlasting life and to be present at the resurrection of the just, in company with ‘all the holy angels and blessed saints’. Legacies went to his children and servants and provision was made for the poor of Normanton. He was succeeded by his son Francis, his eldest son having been killed in Ireland in 1599.

The Wakefield and Newland Bunnys occupied a good position among the neighbouring gentry;  their members married into the first local families and took rank with the best.  They do not appear ever to have been rich;  but they were possessed of a moderate competence. Unfortunately, however, through some causes, including perhaps want of good management, they sank in fortune and consequently in standing, so much so, that they had to sell their lands and live in a humble state.  I think that about 1565 the Bunny-hall estate was sold to Thomas Greenwood of Learings.  In 1694 Newland was sold to John Silvester. To the time of the last Bunny (but one) of Newland, the head of the family appeal's to have been a buyer of land in Normanton, and Warmfield, which adjoin the Newland estate, and he got money with his three wives — Theodosia Molyneux, Elizabeth Palmer, and Mary Bosvile — all ladies of good families; but he seems to have wasted his means rapidly and to have so diminished his estate, as to necessitate the mortgaging his property, and to compel his son and successor to sell Newland to John Silvester of the Tower of London, anchor smith, an Ecclesfield man, a great lender of money to persons hereabout.  In their prosperity members of the family matched with the families of Haselden, Gargrave, Hamerton, Topcliff, Restwould, Wortley, Ingpen of Galaker, Eaye of Woodsome, Cartwright, and others, beside those before named. The memory of the Wakefield and Newland branch has almost departed from the neighbourhood of those places.  Richard and Anne's eighth child was baptized 28th July, at Normanton; was married 12th Feb., 1609 to Mr. George Wortley, of Normanton, youngest son of Francis Wortley, Esq., of Wortley.  (https://archive.org/stream/yorkshirearchol00unkngoog/yorkshirearchol00unkngoog_djvu.txt)
