Biography
Thomas Walwyn of Much Marcle (near Ledbury) was among the more important of the Herefordshire gentry of our period, largely due to his connexions with local magnates. Like his less prominent relation and contemporary, Thomas Walwyn I of Stoke Edith (whose career is sometimes difficult to disentangle from his own) he was descended from an ancient marcher family. His was a junior branch, whose principal manor of Hellions in Much Marcle had been obtained by his father’s marriage to Joan Hellion, but the Walwyns remained closely associated, and, indeed, Thomas II was responsible as sheriff for making the return to the Parliament of 1395 of his younger namesake. By 1382 (when first mentioned) he had added to his patrimony estates in Ruardean and St. Briavels, Gloucestershire, the inheritance of his wife, Isabel Hatheway.
...
Walwyn made his will on 12 Mar. 1415, and died on 19 or 20 May following. He requested burial in Much Marcle church, where he had founded a chantry for himself and his ancestors: 10,000 masses were to be said there for his soul ‘in all haste’. His manorial holdings at Dean and Chalford were to be sold for charitable purposes, with part of the proceeds devoted to ‘helpe pore nede men oute of pryson’.
Legacies also went to Marcle priory and Flaxley abbey, but the chief beneficiaries were the testator’s widow, Isabel, his eldest son, Richard, his younger sons, William and Malcolm, his daughters, Joan (wife of Hugh Folyot) and Christine, and his brother, William. An elaborate settlement was also made of his extensive lands. The principal estates at Marcle, Ledbury and Eastnor were to go to his widow for life, with remainder to his sons, although the heir was to have immediate possession of property at King’s Pyon, Aylton, Hyde, and Ruardean, Malcolm was to have the manors of ‘Thatley’ and ‘Farley’, and William the premises at Botterley (near Bromyard) and ‘La Fenne’. Longford, near Leominster, was to remain in the hands of feoffees for 20 years, for the fulfilment of the will. Walwyn’s executors included John Walwyn of Stoke Edith and the latter’s son, Thomas I, while the supervisors of the will were Master John Prophet and Joan, Lady Abergavenny. His widow lived on until 1430.
