  • Notes 
    • SIR WILLIAM CALTHORPE was born 30 January 1410, King's Lynn, Norfolk, England, to John Calthorpe (1389-1421) and Lady Ann Wythe (1390-1440.) He married (1) Elizabeth Grey about 1429; (2) *Elizabeth Stapleton about 1463, Burnham Thorpe, Norfolk, England.

      William Calthorpe died 15 November 1494, King's Lynn, Norfolk, England, age 84. Buried at White Friars Church-Norwich, Norfolk, England.

      Whit Friars Church in Ruins:


      Sir William Calthorpe KB (30 January 1410 ? 15 November 1494) was an English knight and Lord of the Manors of Burnham Thorpe and Ludham in Norfolk. He is on record as High Sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk in 1442, 1458 and 1464 and 1476.

      Calthorpe is recorded on 28 June 1443, when he released one of his villeins, from serfdom and set him free from all future services. He became locum tenens and Commissary-General to the late most noble and potent William, Duke of Norfolk, Earl of Pembroke, and Lord Great Chamberlain of England, Ireland and Aquitaine, during the minority of the Duke's son and heir, Henry, Earl of Exeter.[clarification needed] In 1469, Sir William described himself as Sir William Calthorp of Ludham, a manor which he owned, as well as that of Burnham Thorpe. In 1479, he was Steward of the household of the Duke of Norfolk.

      Calthorpe was made a Knight of the Bath in the Tower of London, by King Edward IV, on the Coronation of his Queen, Elizabeth Wydville, Ascension Day, 26 May 1465.

      Calthorpe's first wife was Elizabeth (1406-1437), daughter of Reginald Grey, 3rd Baron Grey de Ruthyn (1362-1440), by whom Sir William had a son and two daughters. His second wife was Elizabeth (c. 1441-18 February 1505), eldest daughter and co-heir of Sir Miles Stapleton, of Ingham, Norfolk, by his spouse, Katherine de la Pole (c. 1416-1488)), who settled the manor of Hempstead, Norfolk, upon Elizabeth. Sir William was subsequently found to be lord of three parts of it in 1491; his second surviving son, Sir Francis, died possessed of it in 1544, and his son William next inherited it, and sold it about 1573.

      Calthorpe made Presentations to the Rectory of Beeston, Norfolk in 1460, 1481, 1492, and the Rectory of Hempstede in 1479 and 1485.

      In the church of St Martin at Palace, Norwich, is a tablet showing that in 1550 Lady Calthorp (Sir William's daughter-in-law) gave a silver cup and a velvet carpet to that church. It appears that the Calthorpes had their town house in this parish for many years, and Sir William Calthorp certainly lived there in 1492, and probably long before then, for it is recorded that in 1447 the Executors of Joan Lady Bardolph, sold the old seat of the Erpinghams, in St.Martin's at the Palace, to William Calthorp, Esq., and the receivership of the Erpingham manor was vested in Sir Philip Calthorp (d. 1535 - grandson of Sir William) and his wife Joan (n?e Blennerhasset), in 1487.

      In Sir William's will, he mentions that many of his ancestors were buried in North Creake Church, Norfolk. This Will is given in full in East Anglian Notes & Queries (vol.ii, p.210), as an interesting specimen of wills of that date. He mentions many of his family. He was buried within the Church of the White Friars, Norwich, beside his first wife.

      One of Sir William's daughters by his second marriage, Anne (d. bef. March 1558), married Sir Robert Drury, of Thurston, and Hawstead, Suffolk. Another of Sir William's daughters by his second marriage, Elizabeth Calthrope married Francis Hasilden on 31 May 1494. They had a daughter, Frances Hasilden who married Sir Robert Peyton, of Isleham in January 1516, becoming ancestors of the Peyton baronets. Sir Robert Peyton, of Isleham was the son of Sir Robert Peyton, of Wicken by Elizabeth Clere.

      Elizabeth Stapleton
      Elizabeth Stapleton was born around 1441 (said to be age 25 in 1466). She was the daughter of Sir Miles Stapleton of Ingham and his wife Katherine de la Pole.
      She married (1st), before 7 March 1463/4, Sir William Calthorpe. They had 3 sons and 2 daughters:
      ?Sir Francis
      ?John
      ?Edward
      ?Anne, wife of Robert Drury
      ?Elizabeth, wife of Francis Hasilden
      She married (2nd), after 1494, Sir John Fortescue (as his 2nd wife).
      She married (3rd), it says here, after 28 July 1500, Sir Edward Howard, as his 1st wife. Evidently she was pushing 60, and he was about 26 and the son of a Duke. Maybe there's hope for us all.
      She died 18 Feb 1504/5.
