Francis 
Popham
, eldest son. sp Littlecote House A tudor manor house built around 1500 by the Darrell family. The south front was added in 1590 by Chief Justice Popham. The house is situated in the Kennet valley with an impressive oak panelled great hall, collection of armour from the civil war, and a large collection of other artifacts. The estate grounds cover 100 acres, in which a mosaic pavement from a Roman Villa was found in 1976. Miscellanea" in the 3rd series Vol vi No 9 1913 of the Proceedings at page 107-8, and was entitled "Notices of a house in St. Michael's Lane, Alnwick". The relevant part reads " On 28 June 1890, the late Mr. Robert Middlemas of Alnwick, solicitor, communicated to me some particulars obtained from muniments of title of a house in St Martin's Lane, Alnwick. The house, known as the Willows, was so named by the then proprietor from a walk called the Willow Walk which formerly went past the house - J.C. Hodgson. "This house formerly belonged to Dorothy Popham, of Hound Street in the County of Somerset, widow, relict and devisee in fee of the real estate named in the last Will & Testament of Frances Popham of Hound Street aforesaid. Mrs. Popham before her marriage was Dorothy Wallis, widow of Thomas Wallis of Lincoln's Inn Esqre., which said Thomas Wallis was the only son and heir of Catherine Wallis who was the only daughter of Henry Collingwood, late of Great Ryle in Northumberland, Esqre., and niece of George Collingwood, formerly called Governor Collingwood, formerly of Great Ryle aforesaid."" The remainder of the piece deals with the history of the house after its purchase on 30 Nov 1786, by an Alnwick merchant named Ralph Annett. The details have no further relevance to the Collingwood or Wallis families. The Proceedings item can be taken as virtually definitive confirmation of the linkage between Collingwoods of Great Ryle and Wallises of Lincolnshire. I say "virtually" since, although Hodgson accepted the solicitor's statement, and the NCH compilers used it as evidence when preparing the Great Ryle pedigree, and though the solicitor clearly must have written from professionally acquired knowledge of the facts, the events he describes nevertheless dated from nearly a century before. The report, though authoritative, must therefore have some slight tinge of the anecdotal. It reveals the marriage of Thomas s/o Newcomen Wallis to a Dorothy ? which we may be able to check out, as we may Dorothy's second marriage to Frances Popham. The text reads as though the house at Alnwick was part of Frances Popham's estate, but this is not certain - it could have been a Collingwood property which came to Thomas via his mother. Popham's will may be findable, probably a PCC one. There is a published index of these, a copy of which is in the Soc Gen Library, or the Guildhall Library if that is closer to you - and it won't cost you anything to go in there. Unfortunately, the report gives no date, but it must have been before 30 Nov 1786, when Annett bought it, and after 13Apr 1761, [John Sanders] This may be he: An Index of the Poll of the Freeholders of Wiltshire for electing a Knight of the Shire, in the Room of Edward Popham, Esq; Taken at Wilton on the 18th, 19th, 20th, and 21st of August, 1772 Henry Penruddocke Wyndham, Esquire, High Sherrif Candidates Ambrose Goddard, Esq Henry Herbert, Esq On Friday August 21, 1772, the Poll was adjourned from the Down, near Wilton, to the Market-Place, in Salisbury, and was finally closed that Day, at the Council-House, in the said City.
