Een koning en twee koninginne regeer in Francis
Wortley se leeftyd, nl. Koning Edward VI (1547-1553), Koningin Mary I (1553-1558) en Koningin
Elizabeth I (1558-1603). Koning
Edward VI was slegs 9 jaar oud toe hy koning geword het en as gevolg daarvan
was hy bygestaan deur twee adviseurs.
Die eerste was sy oom, die Duke of
Somerset, wat Lord Protector
geraak het, vir die eerste twee en ‘n halwe jaar. Somerset is deur die Duke of Nothumberland vervang.
Beide van hulle wou groot veranderinge aanbring t.o.v. Engeland se
godsdiens. Wette wat bepaal het dat
kerke en dienste meer eenvoudig moes wees, is gemaak. The
common person could now understand what was being said as services - now called
Holy Communion - were in English. Priesters
hoef nie meer helder kleurige klere wat met die Katolieke kerk verband hou te
dra nie en onder Edward se regering is hulle toegelaat om te trou. Die koning was steeds die hoof van die
kerk. In Duitsland en Switserland het
godsdienstige groepe ook weggebreek in protes teen die rykdom en korrupsie van
die Katolieke kerk. Hulle het bekend
geraak as Protestante en Engeland het ‘n Protestantse land geword met die Church of England. Edward was nooit ‘n gesonde seun nie en sy
gesondheid het in 1553 ingegee. (The history learning site)
Mary I was koningin vanaf 1553 tot 1558. Met
haar kroning was sy baie gewild onder die mense van Engeland. Hierdie gewildheid het egter afgeneem a.g.v.
haar godsdienstige oortuigings en haar huwelik.
Mary het die godsdienstige veranderinge wat Edward aangebring het,
heeltemal terugverander. Sy was streng
Rooms Katoliek opgevoed en was met afgryse gevul deur haar halfbroer se
veranderinge. Die groot meerderheid van
die mense in Engeland het hierdie veranderinge reeds aanvaar.
(The history learning site – Mary
I) Koningin Elizabeth (1558-1603) was ‘n baie intelligente persoon. Sy kon Latyn, Frans en Duits praat. Queen
Elizabeth I had required everyone to follow the Church of England and it became
illegal for anyone to attend Catholic mass. Over the years, the laws against those
determined to support the old Catholic religion became more severe. Anyone not attending a regular Anglican
service was termed a recusant and subject to heavy fines and possible
imprisonment. (http://www.towneley.org.uk/downloads/TTv4_web.pdf)
As koningin van Engeland, het sy die land tot die
hoogtepunt van sy mag gelei. Haar regeringstyd word vir baie redes onthou, maar
twee van die hoofredes was 1) die inhegtenisneming (1568) en terregstelling
(1587) van Mary, Queen of Scots, (haar mededinger). Mary Queen of Scots se aankoms in Engeland
het 'n politieke krisis veroorsaak, en 'n rebellie van die feodale adel van die
Noorde het gevolg in 1569. 2) die Spaanse Armada van 1588. (The history

father, and after him Steward to the Earl of Shrewsbury. He considerably increased his large patrimony
by trafficking in abbey lands after the dissolution, as well as by his marriage
with Ellen, daughter and heir to Nicholas Wickersley, of Wickersley in
Yorkshire. (Lodge, Edmund ed.: Illustrations of British history, biography, and manners in the

Sir Francis Leake of Sutton in the county of Derby knight, progenitor of the

intermarried with Yorkshire families, if they held no land within the County, —
besides one or two from Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, and Norfolk. Including
these strangers, there are just 111 Pedigiees that do not occur in the

But while these Northern gentlemen (who probably were spending the winter in
York, either for gaiety, medical advice, or to prosecute some suit before the Lord
President and the Council of the North) eagerly embraced the opportunity of
recording their Arms and Pedigree, some of the leading houses in Yorkshire
disregarded the Herald's summons. It is singular that Hotham of Scorborough, Portington of Portington, Thwenge of
Helmsley, Waterton of Walton, Wombwell of Wombwell, and Wortley of Wortley
should not appear in these pages. (The visitation of Yorkshire in the years

In die geval waar die meeste grond in 'n bepaalde dorp of streek in
besit van een familie was, was die dorp dikwels in sy grootte beperk. Hierdie
dorpe word soms na verwys as close
villages in teenstelling met open villages, waar die grond in die
hande van verskillende mense was. Wentworth,
Wortley en Hooton Pagnell is goeie voorbeelde van closed villages. Al die
grond in die dorp van Wortley was in besit van die Wortleys. Dit het beteken
dat buitestanders nie in die dorp kon bou sonder hulle toestemming nie. Dit het die groei van die Wortley dorp geweldig
beperk. (Newton, Richard:

accounte." (Full text of the old halls, manors and families of Derbyshire) Shrewsbury during this period was making
earnest solicitation for some reward from Elizabeth for his constant service in
thes arduous employment. But when he
found that nothing was to be obtained either by letters or the mediation of
friends, he determined to vary the object of his request, and to ask leave to
wait in person on his sovereign. He had
now been ten years absent from the court.
There were demurs to his reasonable request, but at lenth the queen’s
leave was obtained; and for the custody of the queen of Schots Mr. Wortley of
Wortley was selected, who had married one of the daughters of the old servant
of the Shrewsbury family, Robert Swyft of Broomhall. (Hunter, Joseph: The History and Topography of the Parish of

op die pad wat na Leeds, Dewsbury, York en Doncaster lei, gebou. Die Chantry of St John the Baptist was op
Northgate, die pad na Leeds, Die chapel
of St Mary Magdalene was op Westgate waar dit die Ings Beck oppad na Dewsbury
kruis. St
Swithin Chantry Chapel, op die York pad, was naby Clarke Hall. In die 14de eeu was die Chantry Chapel of St Mary the Virgin gebou op die Middeleeuse brug
oor die Calderrivier op die pad na Doncaster en die Suide. Francis Wortley seems to have obtained a grant of these chantry lands,
for, at his death (25 Elizabeth 1583), the inquisition gives him five
messuages, five tofts, five gardens, three hundred acres of land, one hundred
acres of meadow, and "parcell of the chantry of St. Mary," at
Beighton, held of the Queen.

How long the Hunshelfs continued I have not
seen; nor any account of the course of descent which this manor took till it
appears in the inquisition of Francis Wortley, of Wortley, esq. in 1586.
Hunshelf lying immediately adjacent to their chase of Wharncliffe, must have
been a valuable addition to the domains of that family. It has accompanied the
other estates of the family in their descent to the right hon. the lord
Wharncliffe. In 1602 there was an agreement made between Richard Wortley, esq.
and the freeholders of Hunshelf, respecting their commons. This agreement had
been long in force, when Mr. Sydney Wortley, in 1687, sought to dissolve it. (https://huddersfield.exposed/api/content/books/ocr/17984/)
