Excerpt from Mannington and the Walpoles, Earls of Orford Monastery. I need not trouble my readers with the names and the histories of the various Walpoles who have had great possessions in the county of Norfolk, and I will skip them all until we arrive at Edward, the heir and eldest son of Thomas Walpole. In the twenty-seventh year of Henry VIII., one messuage in Houghton was granted to Edward Walpole and Lucy his wife. This lady was daughter to Sir Terry Robsart, and (by the death of her brother, Sir John Robsart, and the cruel murder of his daughter Amy without issue) she became heiress to her great-grandfather, Sir John Robsart, knight-banneret and knight of the most noble Order of the Garter. He was famous for his surprising valour in several actions in France in the reigns of Henry IV., V., and VI. This daughter Amy became wife to Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, and at her death John Walpole succeeded to the Manor of Siderstone, in Norfolk; and the Walpole family.
