• Notes

  dau Anne m Simon Montfort b1435 Sheriff of Warks + Leics also son Thomas (Plant Anc.) Soon after this, in 1435, it was acquired by the ruthless and ambitious Richard Verney, (1435-1490) with the assistance of his younger brother, John Verney, Dean of Lichfield, and the powerful Richard Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick. The Verney family had begun acquiring lands in the area of Compton Murdak and the surrounding villages in the 1430s before purchasing the estate. By about 1500 it was so closely associated with them that it began to be known as Compton Verney. According to William Dugdale they also built a manor-house there in about 1442. In 1656 Dugdale wrote in The Antiquities of Warwickshire: ?Richard Verney Esquire (afterward Knight)? built a great part of the House, as it now standeth, wherein, besides his own Armes with matches, he then set up?towards the upper end of the Hall, the Armes of King Henry the Sixth.? (William Dugdale, Antiquities of Warwickshire, London, 1656, p 435, new edition edited W. Thomas, 2 volumes, London, 1730, volume I, 565).
