John Scudamore (1486-1571) married Sibell Vaughan and had 4 boys, including William (1517-1560) who continued the Scudamore line. He later married Joan Rudhall. The Scudamores were an old and influential family in Herefordshire. They settled after the Norman Conquest in south west Herefordshire. One part of the family settled in Holme Lacy, and George appears to have been the first Scudamore to live there in 1419. The family became a powerful one both locally and nationally. John Scudamore, 1486 to 1571 was a Gentleman Usher under King Henry VIII, and was Sheriff of Herefordshire in 1524. He rebuilt Holme Lacy house in the 1540s. He was rewarded lands at the dissolution of the monasteries, including Abbey Dore. He married firstly, Sibell Vaughan, and they had four children. He secondly married Joan Rudhall. He is buried in the church and has a tomb with effigies of him and his first wife. His son William Scudamore, 1517 - 1560 married Ursula Parkington and they had a son John (1542 to 1623). Sir John Scudamore was Custos Rotulorum (keeper of court records) and High Sheriff of Herefordshire. He first married Eleanor Croft in 1563. Later Sir John was appointed Gentleman Usher to Queen Elizabeth I and standard-bearer to the Honourable Band of Gentlemen Pensioners. His second wife was Mary Shelton who was a member of the Queen's privy chamber; their son was Sir James Scudamore 1568 to 1619. He was the local MP and was considered a pattern of true chivalry. He was a Gentleman Usher at the court of Queen Elizabeth I and High Sheriff of Herefordshire. He was respected for his jousting, and when he died he left several fine suits of armour behind. He married firstly Mary Houghton, and secondly Mary Throckmorton by whom he had three sons, John who became first Viscount, James and Barnabas. His son John (1601-1671) was first Viscount Scudamore, and was elected Member of Parliament for Herefordshire and Justice of the Peace. He was responsible for the restoration of the church of Abbey Dore, one of the former Cistercian abbeys whose estates had come into his family at the Dissolution. He was imprisoned and lost a lot of money in the Civil War, and eventually lived out his life quietly studying, breeding horses and working on grafting apple orchards. He was responsible for the Redstreak apple used in cider making. He married Elizabeth Porter at the age of 14; they had three sons which all died at less than one year old. He also had a son James (1624-1668), who married Jane Bennett, having two sons and a daughter. James' and Jane's monuments are in Holme Lacy church. Their son John (1650-1697) became second Viscount. He was MP for Hereford and Deputy Lieutenant of Gloucestershire and High Steward of Hereford. He married Lady Frances Cecil, and they had three sons,the eldest dying young. James Scudamore became 3rd Viscount and lived from 1683 to 1716. He married Frances Digby and they had one daughter. He was the last Viscount, and the estate came to his heir and daughter Frances, who married Charles Fitzroy who assumed the name Scudamore. Their only daughter, also Frances, married Charles, 11th Duke of Norfolk. She died intestate in 1820 and after a lengthy case in the court of Chancery, the Holme Lacy estate passed to Sir Edwyn Francis Stanhope who took the name and arms of Scudamore. In 1909 the estate was sold to Robert Lucas-Tooth who had amassed a fortune in Australia and was created a baronet in 1906. Both his sons were killed in the first World War. |
