Brockhampton Estate

In 2010, the National Trust undertook a major restoration of the house using traditional wattle and daub building methods.

[3] Thomas Barneby, who was killed at the battle of Towton in 1461, married Isabella Whitgreave of Bockleton, heiress of the Brockhampton estate.

One of his descendants was William Barneby, Sheriff of Worcester in 1605, who married Amphylis Lyttleton, a daughter of Sir John Lyttelton (1519–1590).

[4] Amphylis Barneby's niece Bridget Marrow was a gentlewoman at the court of Anne of Denmark from 1603, and became keeper of her jewels.

Lyttleton's reply was discouraging, saying that Amphylis's nephew Thomas Cornewall of Eastham and Burford had misinformed her.
