Great Bolas Registers.
GREAT BOLAS is a parish and village situate on the river Tern, seven miles north from Wellington, in the hundred of South Bradford, rural deanery of Edgmond, archdeaconry of Salop, and diocese of Lichfield. It includes the township of Meeson, on the south-east. Its total area is about 1,897 acres, and its population in 1801 was 207; in 1831, 255; in 1841, 228; and in 1901, 255. It must not be confused with Little Bolas, which is a township of Hodnet, and lies due north, the river Tern forming the boundary between Great and Little Bolas. The river Mees also flows through the parish.
The Parish Register Abstract of 1831 contains this account of the Registers of Great Bolas:- "Bolas Magna R. Nos. I.-V., Registers, 1582-1650, 1653-1812. Nos. VI., VII., Marr., 1755-1812".
Shropshire Parish Documents, issued by the Salop County Council in 1903, has the following:-
"General Register, 1651-1679. Do. 1679-1722. Do. 1723-1755, then Baptisms and Burials only to 1805. Register of Baptisms and Burials, 1805-1812. " Banns and Marriages, 1755-1808. " Marriages, 1809-1812. Churchwardens' Account Book, 1699-1799. Overseers' Account Book, 1698-1769. Do. 1770-1817".
The earliest volume of the Registers is not mentioned in the County Council's list.
Volume I. consists of 14 leaves of parchment, 11 1/2 inches by 8 l/2 inches, and contains entries of Baptisms, Burials and Marriages from 1582 to 1650. The cover, and apparently the first two leaves of the Register, have been cut off. It is much faded and stained from damp, but is on the whole legible. From 1590 onwards the names of the Churchwardens are often entered at the beginning of each year, and occasionally the names of the Sidesmen and Surveyors of the Highways.
Volume II., which contains entries from 1653 to 1679, is a parchment book of 21 leaves, 11 by 5 inches, in a vellum cover, and is written on the right hand side only. On the left side after 1662, the names of the rector and churchwardens are given each year, and the inductions of the incumbents. Generally this volume is in good condition and well written, though in places the writing is faded and illegible. Until 1662, it is in the handwriting of Edward Bury; after 1662 in that of John Tourneour. Inside the cover are the names of Churchwardens 1656-1672, but some of these are decayed and faded, and the names sometimes differ from those given in the body of the Register. From the beginning of the volume until 1660, the words "borne", " sep.", "nat.", or "nupt.", are written in the margin against each entry. There is a note that the Bishop preached and confirmed at Hodnett on 13 June, 1665.
iv. GREAT BOLAS REGISTERS.
Volume III. contains 34 parchment leaves, 13 1/2 by 7 inches, bound in a brown leather cover, and extends from 1679 to 1722. It is in good condition, and is in the handwriting of John Tourneour, and of his son of the same name. It is written on one side of the leaf only from 1683 to 1694. Until 1706 burials in woollen are recorded. The Bishop's visitations and confirmations are also entered. The rector signs each year, and the churchwardens' names are given throughout the volume. Outside the cover is written "Bowlas Register", and inside are rates, fees payable on induction and at visitations, and a note as to Terriers.
Volume IV. consists of 39 vellum leaves, 13 1/2 by 6 1/2 inches, in a vellum cover. It extends from 1723 to 1805, but has no marriage entries after 1754. It is well written and in good condition. The rector generally signs each year, and the churchwardens' names are given to 1741. There are a few Latin entries, chiefly of the Tourneour family. Inside the cover is a note as to the demolition of the old church, and the opening of the new church in 1728, and entries of the delivery of Terriers and copy of the registers to Lichfield. At the end of the book is a memorandum as to the induction of Benjamin Wase in 1745.
Volume V. is a parchment book, 12 by 7 inches, in a vellum cover, and extends from 1805 to 1812, but only six leaves are written in.
Volume VI. contains marriages from 1755 to 1808, and one earlier in 1753. It consists of 14 paper leaves, 16 by 10 inches, stitched in a piece of parchment which serves as a cover. They are printed forms of marriage, three entries on a page.
Volume VII. is one of Lowndes's printed Marriage Registers, four entries on a page, but only nine entries are filled up. It is a paper book, 15 by 9 1/2 inches, in a brown leather cover, and the entries entered from 1809 to 1812.
The Registers are of considerable interest as a whole. During the Civil War and Commonwealth period we have Isaac Martin, rector from 1628, who was ejected by the Puritans for refusing the Covenant, and Edward Bury: who was appointed in 1653 in his place. At the Restoration Bury was turned out, and John Tourneour put in as rector. Bury retired to Eaton, in the parish of Stoke-upon-Tern, but was interred at Bolas 7 May, 1700, as was his widow, Mary Bury, on 30 January, 1703-4. The most important families named in the Registers are those of Tayleur (patrons of the living), Tourneour, Geary, Meeson, Jervoise, Wingfield, Eddowes, Taylor, &c.
The most interesting entries are, however, those relating to the family of Hoggins, on account of the romantic circumstances connected with the marriage of Henry Cecil, M.P., nephew and heir of the Earl of Exeter, to Sarah Hoggins of Bolas. From 1789 to 1794, Henry Cecil was living at Bolas, under the assumed name of John Jones. The incident has been immortalized by Tennyson's poem, The Lord of Burleigh.
The Hoggins family settled at Bolas about 1694, in which year John Hoggins of Bolas Heath married at Waters Upton, on Dec. 1st, Mary Anse11 of that parish. They had four children born to them, and then Mrs. Mary Hoggins died, in July, 1708. John Hoggins married a second wife, Margaret Adney, on 27 Dec., 1708, and in 1711 he served the office of Churchwarden.
His only surviving son, Thomas Hoggins, of Bolas, was baptized 18 February, 1701, was Churchwarden in 1734, and was buried 6 August, 1752. By his wife Sarah, who died in 1753, he had seven children.
GREAT BOLAS REGISTERS. v.
The eldest of these, Thomas Hoggins, who lived at the old Rectory House, Bolas, was baptized 7 Nov., 1730, and was twice married; first, on 25 March, 1755, to Sarah Eddowes (she died in May, 1760), and secondly, on 6 Nov., 1768, to Jane Bayley, the daughter of a clergyman. By his first marriage he had two daughters, and by the second marriage six sons and four daughters. The eldest surviving child by the second wife was Sarah Hoggins, who was baptized at Bolas on 28 June, 1773.
Towards the end of June, 1789, a stranger came to Mr. Hoggins's house, and begged shelter for the night. He gave the name of "John Jones". His stay lasted some weeks, for on July 18th, he witnessed the marriage of Francis Light and Sarah Massey, and when he went away, he soon returned to Bolas. The next year, on April 13th, he married by license Sarah Hoggins. In the marriage bond, which is dated 4 April, 1790, he described himself as John Jones of Bolas Magna, yeoman, over 21 years of age and a bachelor.
As a matter of fact he was already married at the time. As Henry Cecil, he had married at St. George's, Hanover Square, on 23 May, 1776, Miss Emma Vernon, of Hanbury, Worcestershire. She eloped, on 14 June, 1789, with the Rev. William Sneyd, curate of Hanbury. Mr. Cecil obtained from the Consistory Court a divorce a mensa et thoro on 2 March, 1791, and also procured an Act of Parliament dissolving his marriage with Emma Vernon and permitting him to re-marry, which received the Royal assent on 10 June, 1791.
On 3 Oct., 1791, Mr. Jones, - this time as "Henry Cecil, bachelor", - married Sarah Hoggins a second time, at the Church of St. Mildred, Bread Street, London.
Mr. Jones had bought some land at Bolas, and built on it a small house which he called Bolas Villa. For this his name occurs in the rate books from May, 1790, to May, 1797, first as "Mr. John Jones", and afterwards as "the Right Honble. the Earl of Exeter". In 1790 he is rated at 7s.; in 1794 at 6s. 4 1/2d. Here he lived with his young wife. There were two children of the marriage born at Bolas, viz., Sophia, who was baptized 27 February, 1792, and afterwards married the Right Hon. Henry Manvers Pierrepont, and Henry, who was baptized 3 January, and buried 29 May, 1793, in Bolas Church near the pulpit. These are both entered in the Register as the children of "John and Sarah Jones". After their second marriage at St. Mildred's Church, they were evidently still called Jones at Bolas, as on 1 April, 1793, "John Jones" and "Sarah Jones" were the witnesses to the marriage of Francis Arkinstall and Martha Rogers.
On 26 Dec., 1793, the 9th Earl of Exeter died, and Henry Cecil succeeded as 10th Earl, and in 1794 removed to Burghley. Sarah had two more children, - Brownlow, born 2 July, 1795, who succeeded in 1804 as 2nd Marquess of Exeter and K.G., and Thomas, born 1 January, 1797, a Colonel in the Army. The Countess Sarah did not long survive the birth of her youngest son, but died 18 January, 1797, and was buried on the 28th at St Martin's, Stamford. The Earl was created Marquess of Exeter in 1801, and lived till May, 1804. He was born at Brussels 14 March, 1754, and was M.P. for Stamford in 1774, in 1780, and from 1784 until 1790, and a Fellow of the Royal Society.
His first wife Emma Vernon seems to have married the Rev. William Sneyd on 13 Oct., 1791; and also a third husband, Mr. John Phillips of Winterdyne, Bewdley. She died 21 March, 1818, aged 63, and was buried "by her own desire" at the extreme north edge of Hanbury Churchyard, and not in the Vernon vault with her forefathers. In regret for her misdoings she chose this unworthy place for her sepulture. She had had a child by her first husband, Henry Cecil, who was baptized 12 June, and buried 11 July, 1777, at Hanbury.
Thomas Hoggins, the Countess's father, was Overseer of Bolas in 1785 and 1794, and was buried there 1 May, 1796. Administration to his estate was granted 27 May, 1796, to his daughter Sarah, Countess

of Exeter. His wife Jane predeceased him, and was buried 27 March, 1796.
Their other children were all preferred by the kindness of the Earl of Exeter. William became a Captain in the 92nd Regiment. John was settled on a farm at Micklewood, and left a numerous family. Thomas was also an officer in the Army. Whilst James was educated at Shrewsbury School and St. John's College, Cambridge, and became Vicar of Elham in Kent. One daughter married; the remaining children all died young.
When he left Bolas, Lord Exeter gave Bolas Villa to his godchild Creswell Tayleur (son of the Rev. Creswell Tayleur, curate), who was baptized on 23 Febr., 1795. It was for him that the house was enlarged, and its name was changed to Burghley Villa. On his death in 1819 it was sold, and became the residence of Mr. Thomas Taylor, whose daughter Mrs. R. Taylor Davies now owns it.
THE MANOR.
Bolas Magna is not named in the Domesday Survey; it was at that time a member of the manor of Isombridge, which was held by Ralph de Mortimer of Earl Roger de Montgomery. Either Earl Roger or his son Earl Hugh founded the Forestership of Shropshire, and endowed it with the manors of Isombridge and Bolas, and the office was still further augmented by King Henry I. The Chief Forester had a residence at Bolas, which became a place of great importance, and the caput of the manor, Isombridge becoming merely a member of Bolas. The hereditary Foresters of Shropshire are often called "Foresters of Bolas". The name Bolas (Boulwas or Bolewas) is probably derived from the Anglo-Saxon Bold, a house, and was a marsh or fen, - "the house in the marsh"; and from the proximity of the two rivers the land must often have been marshy. The first known lord of Bolas and Chief Forester of Shropshire was Ulger Venator, who occurs as witness to a charter of Earl Hugh (1094-98); he assisted Robert de Belesme in his rebellion in 1102, but soon surrendered Bridgnorth Castle to the King, and was pardoned, and he was still living in 1135. His son William fitz Ulger, the second Chief Forester died in 1182; he was succeeded by his son Robert fitz William, who gave a rent of 4s. in Boulewas to Lilleshall Abbey, and died in 1203. In the Testa de Nevill is an account of the King's Serjeanties in Shropshire, written about 1200. The record states that Robert, son of William, the King's Forester in Shropshire, holds in serjeantry in Bolewas half a carucate of land in demesne which is worth half a mark (per annum); and one carucate and an half there in villanage which renders 18s., and a mill which renders 10s.; and it is worth altogether 34s. 8d. He offers to the King 3 marks. It also gives particulars of his estates in Isombridge and Cotes, and of his under- tenants' holdings in Caynton, Calvington, Orleton, and Dorrington. Hugh fitz Robert was the fourth Chief Forester; he married at King John's request a niece of John le Strange, but renounced his fealty to the King, and his estates were forfeited; in 1217 they were restored to him by Henry III. He died in 1249, and the Inquisition taken after his death states that Bolas, with its mill, fishery, rents, and one carucate of demesneland, was worth £8 3s. 8 1/2d. per annum.
His son John fitz Hugh was 25 years of age in 1249. In 1272 he appears as a knight, and his estates at Bolas, Isombridge, and Brumfield (in Herefordshire) constituted a knight's fee. He died in 1284, and was succeeded by his son, Hugh fitz John, sixth hereditary Forester of Shropshire. The Tenure Roll of 1284 states that Hugh fitz John held Bowlas, with its members, viz., Meeson, Isombridge, Caynton, Calvington, Orleton, and half the vill of Sugden; that he held his free

court at Bowlas twice yearly, and adjudged cases of bloodshed and hue-and-cry, and had a gallows. He died in 1292. Sara, "Lady of Boulewas", presumably John fitz Hugh's widow, held Bolas in dower, and in 1284 married Brian de Brompton.
Roger fitz John, brother and heir of Hugh, succeeded. He died in 1302, seized of Boulewas, which was worth £5 3s. 9d. per annum. His son John fitz Roger, an infant of three at his father's death, became eighth hereditary Forester of Shropshire. In 1324 he was summoned to the Great Council at Westminster. In 1327 he was assessed 15d. to the Subsidy. An Inquisition was taken in 1349, when it was found that Boulwas was worth 100s. per annum; and that John proposed to settle it on himself and his wife Petronilla, and their heirs. He died without issue about 1370.
The manor of Bolas then passed to Sir John de Eylesford (or Eynesford) and his wife Isabella, who was presumably the sister of John fitz Roger. John de Eynesford died in 1396; Isabella survived him, and married Richard de la Mare, and died in 1421. Richard de la Mare held the manor until his death in 1436. The following year it was sold, by license from the Crown to Sir John Talbot, afterwards second Earl of Shrewsbury.
The manor remained in the possession of the Talbots until 1565, when George, sixth Earl of Shrewsbury, sold it to Thurstan Woodcocke, of Newport, and Thomas Kerdiffe (or Cardiff).
Thurstan Woodcock's moiety passed at his death in 1587 to his son Thomas Woodcock, who died seized of it in 1616, when it came to his son Thomas. This Thomas Woodcock and Elizabeth his wife, and their son Thomas and Mary his wife, in 1632, sold this moiety to Creswell Tayleur. (William Hill, cousin and heir of Humphrey Hill, seems to have had some interest in this moiety in 1601).
Thomas Cardiff's moiety descended to his son Roger Cardiff, who sold it in 1620 to John Tayleur (or Taylor), of Longdon-upon-Tern, who in 1632 settled it upon his son Creswell Tayleur on his marriage with Ann Steventon of Dothill.
The whole manor of Bolas thus became vested in Creswell Tayleur, and it continued in the Tayleur family for nearly 200 years, until the death of Mr. Creswell Tayleur in 1819, when his estates were divided among his four sisters. Rachael Anne, the eldest of these, married on May 2, 1804, the Rev. Edward Scott Dickenson, who in 1836 sold the site of the ancient manor-house and the demesne lands to Messrs. John and Thomas Taylor, the sons of Mr. Richard Taylor of Crudgington. The manor of Bolas is now presumably vested in their descendants. Mr. Thomas Taylor's property passed to his daughter, Mrs. R. Taylor Davies.
In olden times, Isombridge, Old Caynton, Calvington, Orleton, half Sugden, and Meeson were all members of the manor of Bolas. Meeson is now its only township. MEESON was held by a family who took its name from the place. William de Meston occurs in 1245, and the surname Meeson is frequent in the Registers. The township passed with Bolas, through its various changes, to the Tayleurs, who resided at Meeson Hall for several generations. In 1836 the Rev. Edward Scott Dickenson and his wife sold the subordinate manor of Meeson with its manor-house and demesnes to Mr. John Ogle of Longdon-upon-Tern (the only child of the Rev. Richard Ogle, Curate of Preston on the Weald Moors). Meeson contains about 630 acres. Its population in 1841 was 85.
viii. GREAT BOLAS REGISTERS.
Seven inhabitants of Bolas Magna were assessed to the Subsidy of 1327: - John fitz Roger 15d.; Richard Calueser' 6d.; Richard fil' Pyck' 6d.; Thomas de Meston 6d.; Roger Bercar 12d.; John Serjant 12d., and Richard Payn 12d. In the Muster Roll of 1538 Humfrey Baughe and John Sockett, billman, were of Bolas.
There was a chapel at Isombridge at least as early as the 13th century, built by some lord of the manor, of which the lords of Bolas were the patrons. It was still standing in 1535, but has long since disappeared.
The patronage of the rectory was vested in the hereditary Foresters of Bolas, who presented the rectors. Thus in 1322 John fitz Roger presented, and again in 1349 and 1353 as Sir John de Boulewas, knight. In 1377 and 1388 Sir John de Eyneford presented, and in 1414 Richard de la Mare and Isabel his wife. In 1454 John Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury presented; in 1463 and 1467, Elizabeth, Countess of Shrewsbury; and in 1497, 1503, 1515, 1527, and 1531, George, Earl of Shrewsbury. In 1662 and 1694 Creswell Tayleur presented. Browne Willis states that Mr. Kinaston was patron in 1727. The patronage afterwards passed to the Hills of Hawkestone; Sir Rowland Hill occurs as patron, and Viscount Hill in 1851. In 1877 General Turner was patron, and Miss Miller in 1886.
THE CHURCH.
The Church at Bolas is dedicated to St. John the Baptist. There was a church here at least as early as the 13th century, but, as the Rev. D.H.S. Cranage has pointed out, no part of the mediaeval building remains, except possibly two stones in the arch of the east window. The present church consists of chancel, nave and western tower, with two bells. The chancel is about forty years earlier in date than the nave. It is of stone, and is a mixture of Classic and of debased Gothic style. It was built in 1690, at the cost of Mr. John Tourneor, 32 years rector of Bolas, who died 18 January, 1693-94, as is clear from the Register, which states that he was buried under the Communion Table in "this Chancell which hee unconstrainedly and generously erected on his Sole Charges about 3 years before his Death". The nave was taken down in 1726-27; the Register states, - "The Old Church demolished on ye 10 April, 1727". The new nave and tower are built of brick, with stone quoins and dressings. The cost was £331, which was raised mostly by Briefs. The design was the work of John Willdigg, who is described as "one of the trustees and manager". The new church was opened on 23 June, 1728. There is a gallery at the west end, with some massive oak pews of pre-Reformation date. The squire's pew, below the pulpit, has a row of balusters round the top. The font dates from 1843. There is a brass in the chancel to John Tourneor, 1693; a mural tablet of Thomas Griffiths, 1745; and another to John Ogle, esq., 1840. In the tower are two bells, both quite plain.
The Church Goods Return of 3 Edward VI. gives this information about the bells and plate: - "Bollas, ij bellis of oone accorde and a sackryng bell, oone chaleys of sylver wythe a patten over gyld". In 1553 the Return is as follows: - "Boolas, 4 May, 7 Edward VI., John Penson, curate; Holyfer Becher, Fowke Anderson, Roger Broke, Wyllyam Scoton and John Lyle. Two small bells, a small chalice of silver." In 1740 and 1752 there were at "Bowlas Magna 2 Bells".
The Religious Census of 1676, states that there were at Bowlas Magna, in the Deanery of Newport, 120 conformists, no Papists, and 7 Nonconformists, all "inhabitants above the age of 16". The whole population would then be about 250. The seven Nonconformists were probably those who were attached to Edward Bury, the puritan Rector ejected in 1662.

1650. Edward Bury. Calamy says he was "of Oxford University", but his name is not in Alumni Oxonienses. He was born in Worcestershire, 1616, and educated at Coventry; was chaplain in a private family until appointed to Bolas. On March 7, 1653, he was chosen "publicque Register" of the parish. He signs each year until 1660 as "minister and Register", and in 1661 as Rector. He was "suspected of desiring the King's restoration", and his life was threatened. On March 26, 1662, he subscribed £1 to the Free and Voluntary Present to His Majesty. On the passing of the Act of Uniformity he left Bolas, but built a house in the neighbourhood where he ministered, when permitted. He died at Eaton in Stoke upon Tern parish, May 5, 1700, aged 84, and was buried May 7th at Bolas. His widow Mary Bury was interred 30 January, 1703-4. He was the author of eight small works.
