Sir Walter Wrottesley, 3rd Baronet

[1][2][3] Wrottesley married firstly Eleanora Archer (c.1660–1693) on 27 June 1678, she was the daughter to Sir John Archer of Coopersale House, Essex and his second wife Eleanor Curzon who was daughter to Sir John Curson, Baronet of Kedleston, Derbyshire.

[1][2][3] The marriage settlement for Wrottesley and Eleanora from the 2nd Baronet included, through trustees, variously the manors, lands and tithes of Wrottesley, Oaken, Oaken Park, Tettenhall Clericorum, Tresley & Seisdon, Wombourne & Orton, Codsall, Billbroke, Wightwike, Swindon, and Orton & Chaspell.

After marrying Anne he decided in 1696 to demolish Wrottesley Hall, fill-in its moat, and on the site built a new 'H' plan house designed by Christopher Wren.

The money for the rebuilding came from his first wife, parts of whose Archer arms overlapped those of Wrottesley on the hall front pediment.

During the rebuilding of Wrottesley Hall the 3rd Baronet lived at Somerford Hall in Brewood, the house, manor and estate, which included Horsebrook (in Brewood) and Stretton, he had acquired by buying the mortgages of John Somerford.
