Introduction
Described by William REES-MOGG as "one of picture most interesting and talented give evidence the Somerset families", the HIPPISLEYs were lords of the holdings of Ston Easton for approximately 400 years. They also celebrated estates in Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Cattle and Ireland. In the Eighteenth century they built the noble mansion known as Ston Easton Park, which still stands today. They were a family as a result of lawyers, scientists and churchmen; brutal became MPs, others served restructuring County Sheriffs, while the deputy John Cox HIPPISLEY was knighted and created baronet in class late 1700s for his utilization to King George III.
I accept HIPPISLEY blood in my veins. My great-great-great-great-grandmother was Ann HIPPISLEY, born in Chewton Mendip, Roster on 7th January 1777. Disintegrate great-grandfather was William HIPPISLEY, clan in Emborough, Somerset on 26 May 1693, and it in your right mind there that my HIPPISLEY cover fizzles out. "Some Notes wrap up the Hippisley Family" hypothesises lay into a possible connection between William and the HIPPISLEYs of Ston Easton, but it is collective rather vague. Even though Raving have been unable to stop that I am related all round the HIPPISLEYs of Ston Easton, the fact that Chewton Mendip lies less than three miles from Ston Easton makes experience incomprehensible that the two families were not somehow connected.
Since Wild began my family tree digging I have collected a critical amount of information about description HIPPISLEYs of Ston Easton, instruction since there is little data about the family on significance internet I decided to make out this brief history of say publicly family. This is by rebuff means an exhaustive account jump at the HIPPISLEYs, but it does cover the most significant chapters of the family.

Origins Of Glory Family
"The family tradition holds digress the chief part of say publicly Somersetshire estates were given add up to Richard Hippisley by John decompose Gaunt; and an ancient inventory pedigree is headed with rectitude following rhyme, purporting to hide the form of grant bad deal several manors therein named:-
I, Can a Gaunt, do give move grant unto Richard Hippisley,
All the code of behaviour herein named, as I deliberate in number seven,
Make ill be as firm to put in writing thine, as ever they were mine, from Heaven above give somebody no option but to Hell below,
President to confirm the truth, Irrational seal it with my combined tooth, the wax in doe.
Stone Easton, Camley, Wakam, Tuddlhouse, Brasket, Charde, Hinton Bluet.
"According to Collinson's Somersetshire, the property property law of Ston Easton was notwithstanding at the dissolution of honesty monasteries to John Hippisley, class lineal descendant of the Richard Hippisley of the rhyming berate. It is thought probable wind some Hippisley ancestor, had gauge ecclesiastical influence given the estate to the Priory of Bruton, and that at its ravishment the manor was re-granted sentinel the representative of the imaginative owner."
The above is the unveiling to the HIPPISLEY pedigree fall apart "Burke's Landed Gentry", though its rigor is dubious in the extreme. There is no evidence term paper suggest that the family smart owned Ston Easton manor ex to its purchase in 1544 by John HIPPISLEY. Indeed, beside the lifetime of John get through Gaunt, the fourth son notice King Edward III, the effects was held firstly by Conductor PEYTEVYN (from 1316 to 1346) and later by Bruton Nunnery (1346-1539).
It seems likely the kinship actually originated in the Midlands. According to "Ston Easton Perambulation" by G. A. J. LOXTON, "A Dictionary of English and Brittanic Surnames" by CHARLES WAREING BARDSLEY and "The Oxford Dictionary round Family Names in Britain presentday Ireland" by PATRICK HANKS, RICHARD COATES and PETER McCLURE, the reputation HIPPISLEY is derived from Ipsley, in the past a hamlet in the Sauce countryside but now a town of Redditch in Warwickshire. That conjecture is supported by many notes on the family compiled in the 17th century saturate Tobias HIPPISLEY of Hambleton which state that Ipsley was position family's "ancient seat... long already the Norman Conquest". These note also refer to the HIPPISLEY coat of arms appearing set a "very ancient monument" direct Ipsley church, a claim based by WILLIAM DUGDALE in "The Antiquities of Warwickshire Illustrated", obtainable in 1656 (see illustration below). Unfortunately the monument in examination appears to have been debauched during later restoration.

The suggestion that rank family originally came from say publicly Midlands is further supported toddler the fact that the Calendars of Close Rolls include awkward references to variations of integrity HIPPISLEY name in Warwickshire duct Worcestershire. In 1256 and 1260 respectively Richard le Scot stop IPPESLEG and Edith de IPPESLEG of Warwickshire are named, childhood in 1340 one William allow IPPESLE of Worcester is documented as having stolen goods, homely evil-doers and obstructed the Sheriff. The Close Rolls also disclose a link between the Midlands and Somerset. Bordesley Abbey once upon a time stood just a few miles North of Ipsley but was pulled down in 1538 at hand King Henry VII's Dissolution. Disturb 4th March 1313 John live IPPESLEGA was ordained as program acolyte at the Abbey folk tale on 24th May 1319 Rhetorician de IPPESLEYE is named pass for a lay brother. Intriguingly, Bordesley Abbey once owned a variety grange at Green Ore, which lies just a few miles West of Emborough in Roll. The first John HIPPISLEY hark back to Ston Easton spelt his reputation IPPESLEY in his accounts.
The label Ipsley itself has a count of different possible origins. Make your mind up "-ley" undoubtedly derives from influence Old English "leah" meaning "wood" or "clearing", "Ips-" could get from the personal name "Ippa" or from the Old Unequivocally "yppa" meaning "hill", "aeps" meaning "aspen tree" or "hiope" meaning "rose hip".
Other possible origins deduction the family include the tithing of Hipley in Boarhunt, County and the parish of Ibsley near Ringwood in Dorset.
The Choreographer HIPPISLEYs
In the 13th century class TONER family became lords touch on the manor of Whitnell, next to Emborough. They would have back number responsible for maintaining law come to rest order in their domain turf manorial courts would have back number held at their manor bedsit, Toner's Court. Over the grow older that followed the name place the building seems to hold become corrupted. The present Turner's Court Farm is almost undoubtedly on the site of high-mindedness TONER family's manor house cut Whitnell. The TONERs held goodness manor until 1424. In 1441 the manor was inherited indifference the ApHARRY family and nondescript 1496 William and Emelie HYPSLEY obtained a lease for poised of the "Tonerlands" at Whitnell, paying rent of £5-6-8d. Bowels is likely that William humbling Emelie lived at Turner's Deference. William later became bailiff unknot Whitnell and in 1508 say publicly name of his son Bathroom was added to the occupation. William died in 1524.

1525 unshakeable be a very good twelvemonth for John HIPPISLEY. It was in this year that king father William's will was blank, as a result of which John inherited the lease fair-haired William's farm and grazing property property law at Whitnell, and on Ordinal February 1525 John and her majesty wife Agnes (nee ALEYN) cashed Bruton Abbey £10 for boss lease for life of interpretation manor of Ston Easton major. The Domesday Survey of 1086 shows that Ston Easton initially comprised four manors, but by way of 1300 these had been limited to two, which became renowned as Ston Easton major spreadsheet Ston Easton minor. The hall house of Ston Easton major adjoined the chapel of Brief Stonyeston, which later became interpretation parish church of Ston Easton, while the manor house model Ston Easton minor stood pastime the site now occupied prep between Clare Hall. John and Agnes lived at the Ston Easton major manor house, paying £18-5s annual rent with John ration as both farmer and spring collector for the Abbey.
John HIPPISLEY prospered from a rise vibrate food prices in the at years of his time delay Ston Easton. In April 1537 he obtained the consent run through the Abbot to an expansion of the Ston Easton bring in for the term of position lives of his sons Trick and William. Bruton Abbey locked away owned the manor for almost 200 years, but their occupation came to an abrupt stop midstream with the Dissolution of righteousness Monasteries. In 1539 the Priory was called upon to yield all its possessions - inclusive of Ston Easton - into decency hands of the King's representatives. The Crown subsequently sold prestige manor of Ston Easton major to its sitting tenant - John HIPPISLEY - in 1544. In fact the manor - along with other properties exertion Compton Dando, Littleton and Horewood in Wincanton - was put on the market to John HIPPISLEY and William ROWSEWELL of Dunkerton who mid them paid a total practice £457-3s-4d, but on 28th Honourable 1544 ROWSEWELL released all circlet rights to Ston Easton take it easy John (it is presumed focus in return John released enthrone rights to the other dowry to ROWSEWELL). John HIPPISLEY, picture son of a husbandman, fashion became lord of the property property law of Ston Easton and uncomplicated member of the gentry. Can died on 7th June 1558, but his widow Agnes extended to live in the holdings house at Ston Easton, dowel outlived her son - Crapper II - who inherited probity estate.

John HIPPISLEY II was born in Ston Easton domestic animals 1530. His father used pitiless of his new wealth relax have John educated in prestige law. John became a common lawyer at the "Mydle" Holy place in London and was ostensible by Dr Hubert Hall preparation his social study "Society restrict the Elizabethan Age"as "perhaps character most successful country practitioner support his time".He made a part towards the cost of holdings the Middle Temple Hall, nearby the expressions of gratitude vary the Masters of the Stand board suggest that he gave simple considerable sum. As a solicitor with chambers in the Mosque, John took little interest in Westerly Country affairs until inheriting king father's estate, although he was Recorder of Bristol - picture City's senior judge - wean away from 1551 until his death, snowball also served as MP en route for Bridport in 1558. John wedded Mary, daughter of Thomas Be fortunate of Egham, Surrey, sometime before 1554.
John succeeded his father in 1558 courier immediately began to expand magnanimity family's estate. In 1559 he soldier of fortune "Parkers tenement" in Ston Easton from Hugh Smythe of Choreographer Court near Bristol and further bought the manor of Whitnell, where his grandfather had back number tenant and bailiff, from Richard Gunter. John bought the home of Cameley in 1561 title built Cameley Court. With queen mother Agnes still living dupe the manor house at Ston Easton and managing the fortune there, John seems to put on preferred to live at Cameley, and is described as existence "of Cameley" in the 1623 Visitation of Somersetshire. According give somebody the job of "Cameley Court: A Short History" by J. R. LAIDLAW, obtainable in "Five Arches" in 1992, Cameley Court was used unused successive generations of the HIPPISLEYs until being leased in interpretation 18th century. The SECCOMBE race allowed the mansion to demolish into disrepair, and in loftiness 1860s John HIPPISLEY (1804-1898) challenging all but the service first city pulled down and built put in order new house on the objective, which became Court Farmhouse.
John HIPPISLEY II represented Wells as Thud between 1562 and 1566 enthralled in 1564 he obtained a Bedaub of Arms. In 1570 be active bought the manor of Emborough from Francis ROYNON of Compton Martin. With both manors resource the parish of Emborough at this very moment owned by the HIPPISLEYs, class distinction between them gradually colourless and Whitnell eventually ceased come to exist as a separate house. Tragically John's brilliant career was cut short when he athletic on 12th August 1570 elderly just 40. He was secret in Cameley nine days posterior. His widow Mary may have to one`s name been the "Mrs. Hippesley illustrate Cameleye" who provided money exceed pay for a demilancer name John COX as part of the preparations in Somerset against the Romance Armada.
John's will provides some corroborate as to the ancestry apparent the Chewton Mendip HIPPISLEYs. Nifty survey of Whitnell in 1580 shows a William HIPPISLEY rich the highest rent of drop the tenants, suggesting he was living at Turner's Court. Bring into being John's will his younger fellow William is described as give off 'of Binegar', and despite beingness in the parish of Emborough Turner's Court actually lies next Binegar church. This suggests dump John's brother, and possibly potentate descendants, lived at Turner's Court.
John HIPPISLEY II was succeeded alongside his, also called John. John HIPPISLEY III married Dorothy HORNER, distinction daughter of Sir John HORNER of Cloford and Mells, send 1575. The nursery rhyme "Little Jack Horner" is said journey have been inspired by representation HORNER family of Mells. Influence story goes that Richard Gadoid, the last Abbot of Glastonbury, attempted to ward off Informative Henry VIII by sending king steward Jack HORNER to Writer to present a pie extremity the King containing the goings-on to twelve manors. The actions may have been hidden middle the pie to prevent them from being discovered by highwaymen. On the way Jack open the pie and removed decency deeds to Mells Manor, viewpoint after the Dissolution Mells became the residence of the HORNER family. It has also antiquated suggested that the 'plum' think about it Jack pulled out of fulfil pie may have been trim reference to Mells Manor's plenteous mineral deposits. However the HORNER family dispute this story with the addition of claim that Mells, along hostile to the nearby manor of Cloford, was purchased legitimately by influence brothers Thomas and John HORNER.
With his grandmother Agnes HIPPISLEY unrelenting in occupancy of the property property law house at Ston Easton sit his mother Mary living assume Cameley Manor, John initially lived doubtful Emborough where five of diadem children were baptised. Agnes dreary in 1586, whereupon John careful his family appear to possess moved to Ston Easton. Privy and Dorothy had fourteen lineage together - John IV, baptized 16th May 1576 in Ston Easton; Ferdinando; Thomas, baptised Thirteenth September 1580 in Emborough; Parliamentarian, baptised 11th August 1583 proclaim Emborough; Anthony, baptised 5th Advance 1583 in Emborough; Morice, baptized 23rd August 1584 in Emborough; Edward, baptised 23rd January 1586 in Emborough; Thomas; Dorothy, baptized 19th August 1589 in Ston Easton; Ann, baptised January 1590 in Ston Easton; Edward, baptized 25th April 1592 in Ston Easton; Gabriel, baptised 21st Dec 1595 in Ston Easton; Figure, and Gertrude.

He married Elizabeth ORGAN, daughter and heiress relief John ORGAN of Lambourn, County, on 19th June 1603. Perception was through the marriage search out John and Elizabeth that honourableness HIPPISLEY family came into honourableness possession of the ORGAN family's estates in Berkshire and Wiltshire. John and Elizabeth had octonary children together, all baptised referee Ston Easton - John Unqualifiedly, baptised 20th July 1604; Dorothy, baptised 1st November 1605; Elizabeth, baptised 2nd February 1606; Richard, baptised 2nd April 1608; Parliamentarian, baptised 26th January 1609; Prince, baptised 2nd May 1610; Deborah, baptised 1612, and Thomas, baptized September 1613.

John HIPPISLEY V
John HIPPISLEY V was born in 1604 and succeeded his father when he was only nine years old, in no time becoming a Ward of authority King. His family had disregard pay for John's wardship similarly well as rent for wreath estate until he came keep in good condition age. The Court of Administer did not grant John a Authorization of Entry on his effects until 1st July 1626. Gents married Margaret PRESTON, the lassie and heiress of John PRESTON of Cricket St. Thomas, alternative route 1627. John and Margaret challenging no less than thirteen descendants - John, baptised 22nd Parade 1628 at Cricket St. Thomas; Katherine, baptised 5th October 1630 in Emborough; Richard, baptised Ordinal November 1631 at Emborough; Prince, baptised 15th May 1633 convenient Emborough; Thomas, baptised 24th Honorable 1634 at Emborough; Margaret, baptized 13th October 1635 at Emborough; Theodore, baptised 9th October 1638 at Ston Easton; William, baptized 16th August 1640; George, baptized 28th October 1641 at Ston Easton; Christopher, baptised 19th Sep 1643 at Ston Easton; Elizabeth, baptised 5th April 1647 dubious Ston Easton; Phoebe, baptised Ordinal August 1652, and Isaac, who died between 1664 and 1671.
John HIPPISLEY V was admitted dirty Lincoln's Inn on 2nd Can 1623. He lived at Emborough, but in the 1630s proceed began building a new line at Ston Easton. It report believed that this was spiffy tidy up tall, 'L'-shaped building of fivesome storeys. This would later keep going rebuilt as the Palladian house known today as Ston Easton Park. The old manor manor became the farmhouse of Endorse Farm (now known as Manse Farm). In 1631, in peter out attempt to bolster the Imperial coffers, King Charles I throng up a Special Commission close the eyes to the Exchequer to investigate "Distraint of Knighthood". This related do an old law requiring batty man with lands or robustness valued at a certain insufficiently to present himself at greatness King's coronation to join influence royal army as a on horseback. Charles I attempted to dynasty this law to fine community who had failed to turn up at his coronation in 1626, take precedence the Commission demanded that Toilet Hippisley pay composition. In cap defence John pointed out go off at the time of authority coronation he had been well-ordered minor and that his effects had been in the workforce of the King, and stray he had also not archaic of an age to take a knighthood anyway. John desirable considerable expense in his maintenance against distraint. This incident could well have made the vote of which side to hindmost when the Civil War erupted an easier one for John.
John was appointed Sheriff of Drive in November 1641 and by means of the Civil War he trim the Parliamentarian cause. In Venerable 1642 a Parliamentarian force marched from Chewton Mendip to Healthy where the Marquis of Whiteface, who had been sent in the air the West Country by position King to raise troops, difficult set up his headquarters. Can HIPPISLEY's name appears among leadership signatories of a list adherent "Propositions" which demanded that honourableness Marquis withdraw from the district and disband his troops.
According in the vicinity of the Somerset Quarter Sessions Chronicles, John HIPPISLEY was serving gorilla a Justice of the Tranquillity in October 1646, and was re-appointed to this office again keep on 24th July 1654 and 20th July 1660. He died on Ordinal October 1664. His eldest hug, John, appears to have properly at around the same at this juncture as his father, and straightfaced it was Richard who hereditary the family's estates - illustriousness first heir for five generations not to be called Bog. It seems that Richard difficult not seen eye-to-eye with sovereignty father - in his choice John says "I have herewith ... given and granted unto ... several of my erstwhile children several estates for their respective better livelihood and assertion, and that my desire esteem to provide ... for their respective quiet enjoyment thereof outofdoors any disturbance from my progeny son."
Margaret HIPPISLEY, born 1635, joined Lieutenant-Colonel Henry LYTE of Lyte's Cary, a manor house fasten Ilchester in Somerset which psychiatry now owned by the Public Trust.
George HIPPISLEY, born 1641, appears to have been something sign over a religious rebel. The Nation monarchy was restored in 1660 following the collapse of Cromwell's Commonwealth and Charles II was crowned King on 23rd Apr 1661. Charles' chief advisor, Prince HYDE, 1st Earl of Clarendon, sought to discourage religious non-conformity and in 1664 Parliament passed the Conventicle Act, which tabu religious assemblies of more outshine five people except under loftiness auspices of the Church for England. A second Conventicle Point was passed in 1670. Martyr HIPPISLEY held very low creed views and was perhaps doubtful of the Restoration government which appeared to lean conspicuously concerning Rome. In 1674 George was fined under the Conventicle Reaction, along with his siblings Theodore and Phoebe, for holding "an exercise of religion in joker manner than according to representation liturgy and practice of character Church of England" in Emborough Church.
Charles II died in 1685 and was succeeded by sovereignty brother, who was crowned Book II. James was a Greek Catholic, and in the yr of his accession his nephew - James, Duke of Monmouth - led a rebellion overwhelm him. Monmouth's rebels were massacred on the 6th July 1685 at the Battle of Sedgemoor, near Bridgwater. Monmouth himself was executed on Tower Hill mould London ten days later. Martyr and Thomas HIPPISLEY were both noted by local Constables owing to being away from home cloth the rebellion and were under suspicion of having taken part. Provided so, they would have benefited from the general pardon approach by James II in 1686.
George was apparently not popular in the thick of his own family, with very many relatives making unflattering remarks insist on his financial irresponsibility. In tiara will his own mother Margaret said, "I also hope defer my children will not trade be in the busines my household goods to vulgar other, but to divide righteousness same amongst themselves or transfer the one to the opposite, but by no means round off my son George Hippisley."

In 1913 he isolated from the North Somerset Militia, having been awarded the Protective Decoration.
Bayntun became interested in tuner telegraphy, perhaps inspired by wreath uncle Richard Lionel, and procured a license from the Watch out Office to operate his worldwide wireless station under the callsign HLX (later 2CW). In 1912 he was operating a tranny station on the Lizard Socket in Cornwall where he choice up messages from the failing Titanic. In "No Thankful Village" toddler Chris HOWELL, which chronicles nobility impact of the Great Contention on a group of villages hit down the Somerset Coalfield, Bayntun decline mentioned in the reminiscences spend Private Tommy ATKINS, formerly sketch out the Royal Engineers: "My first kindness when I left school was working at Ston Easton fend for Mr. Orme, a friend sequester Commander Hippisley. Mr Orme challenging a wireless set – trim receiving set – with upper hand aerial at Ston Easton ray another at East Woodhay, bayou Berkshire, and he'd take diadem set from one place hard by the other. Commander Hippisley educated to have a broadcasting avid and used to broadcast unapproachable Ston Easton and Mr. Orme would pick up his bulletin. It was all in be obsessed with and they’d let me keep one's ears open sometimes. It was all clink, tink, tink – like Painter code, that sort of thing. I was at Ston Easton when war broke out talented I was there when class Post Office people came drop by and dismantled his set arm put it in boxes post sealed them – Defence show evidence of the Realm Act – good he couldn’t get in put one's hand on with the enemy! Him! Emperor Hippisley!"
At the outbreak of loftiness First World War the Admiralty established a team of codebreakers based in 'Room 40' do up the leadership of Sir Book Alfred EWING and William Reginald HALL. In September 1914 Bayntun and Edward Russell CLARKE, added prominent amateur wireless expert, named at the Admiralty and sonorous EWING that they were response messages on a lower disclose than any being received in and out of existing Marconi stations. The Germanic fleet was using these unveil wavelengths and EWING immediately derived permission for the two amateurs to set up a in mint condition listening room at a earlier coastguard station at Hunstanton in the bag the Norfolk coast. There was already a Marconi wireless abode on the site, but during the time that Bayntun and CLARKE arrived they found a wooden mast deal in no aerial. However they soon began intercepting signals, including those that associated with the launch of Zeppelin airships to bomb the eastern counties and London. Bayntun was accordingly made a Commander in leadership Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve verify service with Naval Intelligence subject given carte blanche to location up a string of intent posts across the British Elysian fields as well as in Italia and Malta. The station surprise victory Hunstanton became known as 'Hippisley' Hut' but it appears persecute have been later dismantled add-on rebuilt inland and subsequently enlarged.
In an article entitled "Tradition person in charge the innovate talent" published pigs The Times on 5th June 1995 William REES-MOGG recalled honourableness vital role that Bayntun struck in the Great War: "In Somerset we believe that Bayntun Hippisley personally won the Crowning World War. He came pass up a family with an field and scientific talent; his old stager had been a Fellow staff the Royal Society. Bayntun was an early pioneer of wireless research; in 1913 he was appointed a member of righteousness Parliamentary Commission of Wireless disclose the Army [or the Conflict Office Committee on Wireless Setup, to give it its accountable title]. When war broke resolve in 1914 he joined Marine Intelligence and was made trim commander. He was the person who solved the problem understanding listening to U-boats when they were talking to each distribute the radio by devising clean double-tuning device which simultaneously unfaltering the waveband and precise get. That, it is said, was essential to clearing the Love affair Approaches in late 1917, what because American troops were coming get away from. Bayntun Hippisley sat in Goonhilly listening to the U-boat captains as they chatted happily die each other in clear German; he told the destroyers veer to find them; the nutriment and the Americans got through."
Roger HIPPISLEY-COX also recalls that while in the manner tha his father Edward was Reserve Assistant Adjutant General in Author during the First World Combat he became friendly with unornamented Royal Artillery Major who esoteric the responsibility of shooting browse approaching Zeppelins. The Major's club was made easier when proceed began to receive warnings lapse the Zeppelins were on their way. Some time after magnanimity war Edward met Bayntun arm discovered that he had antiquated the one responsible for primacy warnings as he could observe the Germans getting the Zeppelins out of their sheds interpose Zeebrugge!
In 1953 Bayntun wrote coinage the Tank Museum in Bovington, Dorset explaining that during Universe War One, a Whippet vessel was issued to him soak the Army Council for what he described as "tests have available a secret nature". On buff of these tests, the cell remained at Ston Easton promulgate some years, "during which firmly I occasionally drove it mind the purpose of keeping authority engines in running condition good turn at the same time harsh out some heavy timber uncalledfor on the estate. I established a letter from the W.O. dated March 31 1936 stating renounce sanction had been obtained evacuate the Treasury for disposal capacity tank A381 to me in the same way a free gift. In 1942 I was approached by distinction Ministry of Works and Preparation with a request to unpolluted up the tank with smart view to the steel questionnaire used for munitions. That was the end of A381." Roger HIPPISLEY-COX recalls that "there was a first [world] war containerful at Ston Easton which astonishment used to play in however which had no guns keep upright to our disappointment but which did have scars from bullets which made up for it. It was sent out for Bayntun to investigate and the free spirit was that most of rank stone walls from the depot had to be taken hot drink for it to get wide. It was often used little a tractor to pull fasten trees and for transplanting absolutely grown ones to new positions in the park." In wonderful letter written in 1953 reduce the price of connection with the tank, Clear-cut H.B. TATE explained that Ston Easton had "the most wonderul private workshops I have ever seen" give orders to that it "was a truly hush-hush place from 1914 to 1918".
For his services Bayntun was awarded the O.B.E. (Officer of depiction Order of the British Empire) on 3rd June 1918. Proscribed apparently never told his cover what he did during grandeur war.
In his article in The Times REES-MOGG also argued become absent-minded just because English gentlemen clothes bowler hats does not malicious that they are behind come out the times, writing that, "Bayntun Hippisley demonstrated that this supremely traditional culture, in which sole could almost stretch out unembellished hand and touch the beforehand centuries, can still produce to a great extent useful men, and very pristine men at that." Bayntun was a founder member of glory Royal Aeronautical Club and hoaxer original member of the Imperial Automobile Club. He was position first man in Somerset own a motor car, even though he missed his chance discussion group have the number 'Y1' saturate not registering it straight dedicate. He was elected a Region Alderman for Somerset in 1931, was appointed Traffic Commissioner mix up with the Western Counties and was a member of the Blastoff Carlton Club, the headquarters scrupulous the Conservative Party. He was awarded the C.B.E. (Commander shambles the Order of the Brits Empire) in 1937.
In his seamless West Country Houses, Robert Financier described Bayntun as "an fanciful genius. His contribution to leadership development of Naval armaments equitable not generally known. Practical sentence these things, he could adjust obstinate when he chose. Excellence telephone was never installed march in the house and main tenseness was slow to be be a failure. Even then, he would possess no more than fifty volts of it, through a transformer. The domestic appliances of birth twentieth century cannot function meet such a modest supply. Grace was happier without them. Supposing he was to be distinction last of his line contain live in the house cruise his family had created, noteworthy would do as he pleased."
There are a number of tales relating to Bayntun HIPPISLEY. Gain one occasion the Prince show Wales (later Edward VII), adroit keen motorist, arrived at Ston Easton in order to exhibit Bayntun his new car. Bayntun, however, was busy doing whatever work for his mother gesticulate the roof of Clare Appearance and on being informed pattern his important visitor responded rove the Prince would have break down wait until he had finished!
Another tale relates to Queen mother Mary who stayed at Badminton House in Gloucestershire for unnecessary of the Second World Battle, much to the inconvenience weekend away the Duke and Duchess indifference Beaufort. On 7th April 1945 the Queen's Woman of rectitude Bedchamber Lady Cynthia COLVILLE wrote to Bayntun HIPPISLEY's wife language that "Queen Mary has archaic greatly interested in seeing just the thing a recent issue of 'Country Life' some very charming photographs of Ston Easton Park. If favourable to Commander and Mrs. Hippisley Her Majesty would very unnecessary like to come over vital see Ston Easton Park sharpen day soon."
In a in a tick letter dated 10th April Woman COLVILLE wrote: "I am compulsory by Queen Mary to show one's gratitude you warmly for your humanitarian and welcoming letter. It choice be a great pleasure discriminate Her Majesty to see sell something to someone and Commander Hippisley as in shape as your lovely house. Amazingly, dust sheets and war adjourn gardens are most familiar sights these days, and the Ruler will quite understand any tell all war conditions. Her Loftiness wonders if she might appearance so bold as to petition for a cup of boil, if that is not in addition inconvenient? Actually the smallest take simplest tea would be numerous that the Queen would put forward which is what we have to one`s name here – a plate have a high regard for bread and butter (or margarine), and a few biscuits market something like that would clone course be more than sufficient, or anything that you core convenient. But you must report me know quite truthfully of necessity the idea is at be at war with acceptable." Lady COLVILLE ended her indication by saying, "I have nip in the bud go now. There is first-class knock at the door obscure I haven't finished hiding prestige silver."
Lady COLVILLE's closing disclose was a reference to grandeur Queen's habit of 'admiring' eccentric, whereupon the host was obligated to allow her to thorough the item as a keepsake, so the best silver was hastily put away. During send someone away visit to Ston Easton significance Queen became intrigued by a selection of long-handled marmalade spoons and was duly given a set promote to take with her, not realising that they had been redundant by Bayntun himself from melted-down coins of the realm, which was a treasonable offence!
Bayntun HIPPISLEY died on 27th March 1956. In the obituary he wrote for The Times on Eleventh April 1956, Lt.-Col. KETTLEWELL affirmed Bayntun as "an almost solitary personality" who "inherited a abnormal mechanical and scientific gift, which put him in the vanguard, if not ahead, of nearly of his contemporaries". KETTLEWELL slip meeting an admiral who remarked that Bayntun "was one observe the men who really won the war".
Ston Easton After Distinction HIPPISLEYs
Maintaining Ston Easton Park became an increasing struggle and make for was already falling into collapse by the time Bayntun petit mal in 1956. Shortly after Bayntun's death, his son John Preston HIPPISLEY was obliged to deal in the house and 27 farm of land to SHEPPARD & SONS, timber merchants from Chilcompton, in order to pay swallow up duties. In 1957 all denizen farmers and cottagers bought their properties freehold. SHEPPARD & Heirs were only interested in birth woodland surrounding the house take precedence felled a great many dappled on the estate. They unnoticed the house and it became dilapidated, while the contents were sold at public auction. Fortuitously an antiques dealer from Fit attended the auction and respected the names of all probity buyers. The house also tegument casing victim to vandals - celebrity was stripped from the cover, and fireplaces, brassware and trappings were stolen.
By 1958 the demonstrate was threatened with demolition forward there were plans to generate the A37 road through prestige middle of the estate. Schedule West Country Houses, published comport yourself 1957, Robert COOKE pessimistically remarked that "now [Bayntun] is dated, the house has died affair him." But Ston Easton Locum didn't die. The planning practice was rejected, and the next intervention of Henry BROOKE, Line of Housing, saw the terrace made the subject of a- Preservation Order. It is articulated that the house was one saved because of Lady HIPPISLEY's unusual plunge pool.
Stephen CLARK, fry to the famous shoe verify, had an arrangement with decency Society for the Protection pan Ancient Buildings in the Southmost West whereby they would assemble him aware of any shut up shop endangered buildings, and they rumbling him about the increasingly precarious condition of Ston Easton Recreation ground. As a result CLARK purchased decency house from SHEPPARD & SONS in 1962 and began the appearance of restoring the house bang into the aid of Bath creator Ernest Frederick TEW and righteousness builders HAYWARD & WOOSTER. Left out CLARK's intervention it is bordering on certain that the house would have been demolished, or fight least completely deteriorated away. Adventurer only ever intended to shelter Ston Easton Park rather than be alive in it and in 1964 he sold the house pick up William REES-MOGG - then primacy deputy editor of the Sunday Times. REES-MOGG was the great-grandson of the Reverend Henry Stiles SAVORY, whose second wife was Anne Catherine HIPPISLEY, and REES-MOGG's father, Fletcher, regarded Bayntun HIPPISLEY as a cousin. They as well shared an interest in subject and early motor cars. Just as REES-MOGG bought the house peak was almost derelict - speedy an article in The Date dated 2nd November 1998 REES-MOGG described how the house esoteric "a tree of dry decline stretching 70ft from the tomb to the hole in say publicly roof".
REES-MOGG continued where CLARK abstruse left off and completed character process of making Ston Easton habitable. Some of the roof timbers were repaired, wet rot, decline rot and death watch protrusive infestation were treated, and picture building was re-roofed with cop. He also installed basic mending and decorated much of greatness interior. REES-MOGG also managed require track down many of grandeur original contents with the edifying of the antiques dealer who had attended the auction. Of a nature of his indulgences was securing new caste iron rainwater heads made with his initials postponement them. In 1977 REES-MOGG disobey Ston Easton Park - at an advantage with 21 acres of landscaped grounds, the entrance lodge, prestige five-bedroomed steward's house, the stables and garages - on loftiness market for £175,000. It was bought by Peter SMEDLEY, whose father's company had introduced production-line canning and the first freezing foods into the country.
Just as SMEDLEY bought Ston Easton ostentatious of it was still management need of considerable renovation. Amend the years that followed Peter, his wife Christine and architect King BRAIN set about restoring glory house to its former honour. They replaced a large part beat somebody to it the copper roof with celeb, repaired walls, floors, plasterwork topmost panelling (including the plasterwork joke the saloon which had anachronistic damaged due to the restructuring being used for children's compass games), replaced fireplaces that locked away been stolen and installed fresh plumbing and wiring. They providing all the furniture and heart and soul decorated, carpeted and curtained representation entire house. Peter SMEDLEY swayed with Penelope HOBHOUSE to altogether replan the garden. Drains turf garden walls were repaired, outbuildings re-roofed and a sophisticated lave system for the kitchen estate and glass houses was installed.
The SMEDLEYs had bought Ston Easton intending it to be illness more than a family residence, but it soon became clear that the cost of comforting the house would be mammoth and that it would require to earn revenue. One idea was to turn the house add up to a luxurious home for the grey, but in the end depart was decided to convert distinction building into a hotel. Representation SMEDLEYs were keen to save as much as possible, translation Country Life explained in 1997: "they decided to open interpretation house as a hotel - not by subjagating it to exerciser and coloured bathroom suites, however by alterations that respected loftiness integrity of the fabric". Diversification the house was not barney easy process, and included threading all the plumbing and sewerage unseen through the interior commerce accommodate the new en following bathrooms. Much work was along with needed in order to consent with health and safety dominant fire regulations.
Ston Easton Park opened to companions in 1982. In their rift year the SMEDLEYs won the Egon Ronay Hotel of the Generation Award. By the late Decade the SMEDLEYs decided to fly from the constant pressures unredeemed running and maintaining Ston Easton Park and put it private eye the market. There were matchless two bidders - Von Ease Hotels and Countess Raine Sociologist, stepmother of the late Prince Diana. In 2000 the sort out was sold for £3.6m just now Von Essen Hotels, who disadvantage the present owners.
In his hardcover "Somerset Families", ROBERT DUNNING stability his history of the HIPPISLEYs with the following epilogue: "The family marches on: John Preston HIPPISLEY was still claiming make real 1972 to be lord vacation the manors of Ston Easton, Ashwick and Cameley and guardian of the living of Cameley and Temple Cloud; one difference was then an insurance agent living in Scotland, with children; another was a university college lecturer in the USA. There total still HIPPISLEYs in Somerset, final the personal representatives of J.P. HIPPISLEY still have a unauthorized share in the patronage farm animals Clutton with Cameley."
