there's something not quite right about this article
At the moment, the article quotes the oft repeated idea that Feckenham Forest ends up in the hands of Thomas Coventry:
The manor land was given by the Crown to Lord Coventry in 1632. [1]
However, I can't find any reference that explains where this fact originates. There is a quote in Humrheys on p128 quoting Thomas Habingdon: "Feckenham Parke cominge by attainder to the Crown, Queen Elizabeth bestowed it on Sir Thomas Leighton, who married her neere Kynswoman Mistris Elizabeth Knolles in which family continuing towe descentes, it is devolved (by purchase) to the honourable house of the Lord Baron Coventree, Lord Keeper of the greate seale." [2]
However this sounds like an arrangement earlier than 1632. The grants made around 1629-32 are detailed in Sharp [3] and Large [4] and I have delineated the information here.
Sharp and Large name William Ashton (MP) and William Turnor as the major beneficiaries, rather than Coventry. Can anyone shed any light? Jim Killock (talk) 15:59, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
