Summary

[edit]
Description

Worcester Cathedral, Monument supposedly of John de Beauchamp, 1st Baron Beauchamp "of Kidderminster" of Holt, Worcestershire. However it displays not the arms of Beauchamp of Holt (Gules, a fess between six billets or), but rather the arms of Beauchamp of Bletsoe (Bedfordshire); Powick, Worcestershire; Alcester, Warwickshire: Gules, a fess between six martlets or, a difference of the senior line of Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick, which are shown at centre. However the monument displays the arms of Pateshull (of Bletsoe): Argent a fesse sable between three crescents gules, suggesting the effigy is in fact of his relative w:Roger Beauchamp, 1st Baron Beauchamp of Bletsoe (c.1315-1380), husband of Sibyl Pateshull, heiress of Bletsoe. See: 'Parishes: Bletsoe', in A History of the County of Bedford: Volume 3, ed. William Page (London, 1912), pp. 40-43. http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/beds/vol3/pp40-43 . Possibly a modern restoration.

"Bletsoe Manor next passed to Simon de Patishull, son of Walter and Margery, who between 1247 and 1253 quitclaimed land in Bletsoe to John de Berdefeud and others. (fn. 9) His grandson, also Simon de Patishull, died in 1295, having previously enfeoffed Agnes de Patishull, probably his daughter, and her husband John de Pabenham of the manor for their lives. On the death of Agnes in 1313 Bletsoe passed to John son of Simon de Patishull, (fn. 10) who the same year secured recognition of his right to Bletsoe by fine. (fn. 11) He held the manor till his death in 1349, when he was succeeded by his son William, (fn. 12) who in 1359 left four sisters as co-heirs, of whom Sibyl wife of w:Roger Beauchamp, 1st Baron Beauchamp of Bletsoe (c.1315-1380) received Bletsoe Manor. (fn. 13). Roger de Beauchamp held the manor till his death in 1379–80, when his son Roger Beauchamp (fn. 14) succeeded to Bletsoe, being followed in 1406 by his son John. (fn. 15) This John died in 1412, leaving a son John, who was still under age at his death in 1420–1, when Bletsoe Manor and advowson passed to his sister and heir Margaret, then aged eleven. (fn. 16) She married as her first husband Sir Oliver St. John, and secondly John Beaufort Duke of Somerset, by whom she became mother of Lady Margaret Beaufort and grandmother of Henry VII. She died in 1482–3, when Bletsoe passed to John St. John, her son by her first husband. (fn. 17) He died in 1525 seised of Bletsoe Manor, which then became the property of John St. John, his son and heir".
