Francis Fitton

His own estates were at Wadborough in Worcestershire (a Latimer property which had belonged to Katherine Parr),[1] Binfield in Berkshire, and Heckfield, Hampshire, where he had a house called "Holleshotte".

[2] Fitton was a relation of hers and had been her steward, and in 1587 her son, Henry Percy, 9th Earl of Northumberland, attacked him with a rapier in her London townhouse.

[4] He leased his own manor of Nun Monkton in Yorkshire (another Latimer property) to the Earls's solicitor John Carvile.

[5] At the Union of Crowns in 1603, James VI and I and Anne of Denmark travelled to London, and aristocrats and gentry were keen to meet them on the way.

Fitton mentions a number of musical instruments, loaned and exchanged among family members, including sets of viols da gamba and recorders, a great gittern, and another pair of virginals.
