Abstract :-

Note:-This will is an original with a probate note added to the bottom, not a probate copy. It appears to be written by Thomas Waze himself possibly on his death bed. It is very difficult to read and the writing gets very scrawly at the end. The format is not what one would expect from an attorney. At this point it is not possible to make a detailed abstract the major points are listed below.

Ilam Hall & Ilam

A model village one mile from Thorpe. The Gothic cross in the centre of the village was erected in memory of Mrs. Watts-Russell, who formerly lived at Ilam Hall which was presented to the National Trust in 1934 as a Youth Hostel by Sir Robert McDougall The Hall is still an imposing and stately structure though a substantial part of it was demolished when it became a youth hostel. The Church, which stands in the grounds of the Hall, is of Norman origin, but like the Hall was rebuilt during the 19th century Some Norman parts of it remain, and it contains a highly elaborate monument by Chantrey depicting the death-bed scene of David Pike Watts, surrounded by his only daughter and her children. Other memorials include the altar tomb of Robert Meverell (d. 1625) of Throwley Hall (the ruins of which are nearby), whose daughter married Thomas, Lord Cromwell. In the churchyard are the remains of pre Norman shafts and crosses. Also in the grounds of Ilam Hall is the ancient shrine of St. Bertram who is reputed to have lived as a hermit in these parts in Anglo-Saxon times and to have converted the district to Christianity.
