It is worthwhile to divert
onto Edward Pipe’s family. Edward
was “posted” away from the area as a customs and excise officer as his marriage
was not registered locally and the search had to go into Derbyshire to find his
family. I was later to discover that the family had roots in Derbyshire from
previous centuries, whether Edward knew this is unknown but he could have lived
at an ancestral Pipe property; as we are to learn that the Pipe family were
once extensive land-owners. Edward Pipe was the father of Sarah Hannah Louise Pipe who married Thomas Hallchurch. Sarah was the Mother
of Billy, Rex, Gwen St Clair and Lancelot Hallchurch and Grandmother of David,
Pamela, Gillian, Mary, Timothy and Richard Hallchurch. The Pipe family was very
prominent in Staffordshire in earlier years, according to the “History of Bilston” published in 1893 when the Pipes were
Lords of the Manor of Bilston at Pipe Hall. The head of the family is said to
have settled at Pype, and Pype Ridware in North Staffordshire soon after the
Norman conquest. The family has
certainly lived in the area since the time of Edward I as we will see.
It is apparent that the Pipe
family was “upper class” while the Hallchurch/Allchurch families were traders
and in earlier times, mainly uneducated.
This may explain why Thomas Hallchurch’s family at the beginning of the
20th Century, was well educated.
They were the first Hallchurchs/Allchurchs recorded as having attended
fee paying school and university and who were subsequently had successful
careers. There may have been a significant legacy left to Sarah Pipe by her
family, she was certainly well educated.
Edward Pipe married Margaret
Mary Smith in Leek Staffs Parish Church on 14 Sept 1841. Edward was “of Full Age” ie over 21 and
Margaret was aged 19. Edward was described as officer of excise of Marston
Montgomery in Derbyshire son of Robert
Pipe, Farmer. Margaret was daughter of John Smith farmer of Park Lane,
Enden. The witnesses were Thomas Heaton and Anne Smith (Margaret’s
mother?). The vicar was Thos Heathcote.
The 1851 census from Bagot
Street, Abbots Bromley lists the family:
Edward Pipe age
42 Customs officer born Austrey
Margaret (Smith) age 28 Wife born Alton
Margaret Mary age 8 born
Marston Derbyshire b 22 May 1842
Edward Smith age 6 born
Marston b 26 May 1844
Robert John age
4 born
Abbots Bromley b 20 Mar 1847
Charles William age
1 born Abbots
Bromley
Also Ann Booth age 14 servant.
Edward
is also listed in Whites Directory for 1851 as “revenue officer” at Abbots
Bromley.
The
family had at least two more children, Richard
was baptised at Haughton SE of Stafford on 1 Jan 1853, and Sarah Hannah Louise on 11 Aug 1865. She was probably the youngest
of the family. When Sarah was born the address was Flax-Oven, Penkridge.
Edward
pipe was named in the 1868 West Stafford Poll Book but did not vote, according
to the book compiled 24 Feb 1869 for election 21 Nov 1868. He is listed as
living in Penkridge Parish, but no address is given.
Edward
died on 26 February 1871 at Penkridge aged 62. His will left all to his wife
Margaret. Amount under £800. Edwards job as excise officer moved him round the
area hence the frequent changes of address.
At
the 1881 census Edward was deceased
and Hannah (age 15) lived with her
mother Margaret Mary and her brother Richard b 1853 at Penkridge Road. Margaret
was an Annuitant and Richard a Colliery Agent. They also had a 31-year-old
lodger, John C Carr, an Accountant.
Margaret’s birth was stated as Alton, Staffs, Richard’s birth as Haughton and
Sarah was born in Penkridge. Thomas Hallchurch b 1860 married Hannah Sarah Louisa Pipe at
Wolverhampton on 23 July 1887 at Wesleyan Chapel Thomas’s address was given as
Princess Street. This is probably the address of his building company and
Hannah (she was described as Hannah Sarah Louisa Pipe and not Sarah Hannah as
on her birth certificate. She also signed her name H. S. L.Pipe) as living at
Pipers Row, Wolverhampton.
Edward’s
eldest son Edward Smith Pipe is also
to be found in the 1881 census living at Brighton Street Stoke on Trent.
Edward Pipe head age 36 Grocers b
Marston Montgomery
Louisa wife age 36 b Penkridge
Mary L dau age 10 b Stafford
Edward R son age 8 b Hanley
Charles W son age 5 b Hanley
John P son age 2 b Hanley
Margaret Pipe died aged 76 in Wolverhampton on 19 May 1898. It is
interesting to note that Lawrence Wilkins, Vicar of St James Nottingham, conducted
the funeral service. The Pipe family had lands in Nottinghamshire and there
were a number of members of the family who went into the church. It is more
than likely that Lawrence Wilkins was a relative.
The
next task was to trace the Pipe family further.
We
know that Edward was baptised on 3 Apr 1809 at Austrey, Warwickshire. He was
son of Robert (junior) and Mary Pipe nee Robertson (Farmer, auctioneer and Innkeeper) of Canwell Gate,
Hints, Tamworth, Staffordshire. His father also Robert first lived at Austrey before taking over his fathers
interests at Canwell, Hints.
Whites
Directory (1834) describes Canwell as follows ”An extra patochial estate of 400 acres, 5 miles S.W. of Tamworth. Anciently
it had a small Benedictine Monastry. Seized by Cardinal Wolsey. The Manor now
belongs to LORD HENLOCK. CANWELL GATE was built by Sir Robert Lawley. Near the
Park is CANWELL GATE a public house occupied by THOMAS CAMMOCK.” (sic)
Robert
and Mary also had other children, William
(eldest?), Elizabeth, baptised 28
Sep 1794, Ann b 13 May 1801, Richard b 17 Feb 1803 and died 19 Mar, Catherine born 21 Dec 1812 and Anna Maria who was born? and died in
Dec 1811. They may have also had a son Robert,
as there were burials of a Robert on
23 Apr 1797 and 23 Apr 1800. The Bishops Transcripts for the period are in very
poor condition and very difficult to read.
Robert
(Junior) left a mammoth Will of seven pages of closely written text and, as was
the form in those days, no punctuation.. He was an Innkeeper, Farmer and
Auctioneer. He appointed his friends Josiah Kemp Brown of Hints, Staffordshire
farmer and John Riddell of Toxall, also in Staffordshire as executors. (Hints
is the village a mile from Canwell Gate and presumably the gate to Canwell
Hall) He had taken out life Assurance with Norwich Union worth £460. He was
also an executor himself. That of the
late George Angus and much of the Will instructs what is to happen to George
Angus’s money. It appears that he does not trust others involved in Mr Angus’s
estate. There is also mention of the estate of the late Mr William Robotham of
Austrey Warwickshire who died on about 13th July 1817 that “my wife Mary Pipe and my Children are
interested in..” . It talks of the property vested in Thomas Robotham of
Coleshill, butcher, Edward Robotham of Yoxall Mill, Miller and Samuel Grimley
of Austrey whom he does not trust. He is afraid that his wife and children may
be considerable sufferers by their improper conduct. His wife Mary and a Mr Tite appear to be beneficiaries of
the Robotham Will. The rest of his will involves his Inn and Farm. Canwell Gate
was then a public House near Canwell Hall on the outskirts of the village of
Hints. Sir Robert Lawly owns the farm and properties and he appealed to Sir
Robert to let his wife continue as the tenant and then his son William. None of
the other children are specifically mentioned except Ann. I presume that
William was the eldest. He then gives the alternative, if Sir Robert refuses,
with a sale of furniture, plate etc and the money going to his family. He even
makes provision if Mary marries again with the money going into trust with her
receiving the interest for ten years before receiving the balance. The measure
presumably is to stop someone marrying her for her money! Robert died in
1819.
The
inheritance, which was of interest for Mary Pipe, was an income from Tamworth
Turnpike. Robert obtained land of 14 acres from a bankrupt, probably Mr
Robotham.
We
know from White’s Directory of 1834 that the Pipe family had left the Inn by
that date.
Austrey
is about 5 miles N.E of Tamworth and Coleshill twenty miles south of Tamworth.
Yoxall is about 6 miles N of Lichfield.
The
next part of the Will bequeaths to his wife “ the Bed Bolster and Pillow Bedsteads and Hangings in the room I usually
sleep in, together with two pairs of sheets, three Blankets and Two Pillow
Cases to be selected by my dear wife and the coverlet belonging to the said Bed
and also the Coverlet that has my Wife’s Wedding Gown”. He also bequeaths a sum left blank. He left
to his son William £30 and daughter Ann £10.
There
is a burial at Canwell Gate for Mary
Pipe aged 76 widow of Robert Pipe
on 23 Sep 1814. This is the burial of Mary the mother of Robert. There is also the will of Robert Pipe senior registered at Lichfield for Canwell in May 1806.
There was also the burial of Mary Pipe
on 11 May 1808, this was probably a daughter of Robert junior..
There
is another twist to the Robert Pipe
junior will as Mr Hain Tite’s name
comes up again in the will of Frederick
Pipe dated 2 Oct 1868 and who died in 1870. He appoints “my dear wife Emma and my friend Hain Tite Ford of Burton upon Trent,
Bank Clerk as executors of my Will.” Going by the dates it is possible that
Frederick was a Grandson of Robert.
Robert
was son of another Robert Pipe senior married
to Esther Cash in Newcastle under
Lyne on 12 July 1784. Robert and Esther also lived at Hints next to Canwell Gate.
They had at least eight children. Four are recorded as baptised at Hints:
John 25 May 1785
James 18 Feb 1887
died 10 Nov 1838 aged 56
Michael 1
Nov 1789
Kitty 24 Jul
1791
Also
Isabella
Robert
Mary
Richard
Sarah
Isabella married
Joseph Mayo in 1797; she was dead by 1806 as Robert’s Will speaks of Joseph
Mayo widower, son in law. John
married in 1812 to Margaret and they
had a daughter, Caroline baptised at
St Peter’s Wolverhampton in 1810.
Robert’s
will gives an insight into the wealth of the family at the time. The executors were Esther (Robert’s wife)
and his brother James of Hopwas. And
was dated 19th March in the 45th
year of our Soverign George the Third, King of the United Kingdom of England
and Ireland in the year of our Lord 1805.
Richard moved to Shropshire where he lived at
Spurmel Hall as a farmer. Robert his father left him £10 in his
Will. Robert junior was at this time living in Austrey, Warwickshire. Robert
senior purchased the parcel of land from a bankrupt, named Pearson, and included “a dwelling house”. There was a condition that Robert junior paid £150 a year to
Robert senior’s executors. Robert also left his son Robert £160 in lieu of the
said land.
Robert
senior left his daughter Mary the sum of £100 secured upon the Tamworth
Turnpike and £20 secured upon the Ashby Turnpike “with all interest arising therefrom”.
He
also left his daughter Sarah Draymay living at Sutton
Coldfield £100, son James £150, daughter Kitty £150, Joseph Mayo, (husband of
late daughter Isabella) 1/-.
Finally
Robert bequeathed Benjamin Jacobs and Benjamin Jacobs junior the sum of 5
guineas for the purchase of mourning.
Robert
died on 21 Dec 1805 aged 62 and Esther on 28 Jan 1830 aged 87. Their grave is
at Tamworth “Robert Pipe died 21 Dec 1805
age 62, also wife Esther died 18 Jan 1830 age 87”.
Robert
had a brother who’s will is recorded at Lichfield. James Pipe of Hopwas in the Parish of Tamworth, Yeoman, bequeathed to
his wife Mary, a tenement of land situated at Hopwas; having paid her father
Thomas Marlor £200 owed to him by James.
James
also left his son James a messuage
and tenement of land. He also left James and his four daughters Elizabeth, Mary, Hannah and Catherine an equal share in the
household goods and furniture and implements in husbandry, books, and other
items on the death of his wife Mary. The executors were brother Thomas Pipe of Hopwas and farmer friend
James Wilcox of Tamworth.
There
is also a will of John Pipe of Tamworth
who died in 1798. He could be another brother. John lived at Fazely. His
property included a Malthouse at Croft Close, together with adjoining land,
garden and stables; plus also: “all and
singular tythes and tenths of corn grain hay wool lamb and all other tythes and
tenths whatsoever yearly or otherwise arising growing renewing or increasing
from in upon or out of my said messuage. “ The Will also mentions income from land owned by two friends Ralph
Dudley of Slately and Samuel Stratton of Hints, Yeomen.
The
beneficiaries were Joseph Pipe, Elizabeth, Richard, Thomas, and James.
John
also has messuage land tenements and real estates at Libertys of Bonehill and
Wilnecote.
Robert’s
birth in about 1743 is not recorded.
However in the will of Richard
Pipe of Hopwas, Tamworth 1779 lists his family, with legacies:
Daughter Mary Moss wife of Robert
Moss £20
Richard of Atherstone Warwickshire
£10
John £10
Robert
£10
Thomas £10
Fanny £10
Elizabeth £10
Wife Elizabeth inherits the remainder of the
estate.
This Robert is almost certainly Robert of
Canwell Gate as he was the only recorded Robert from the Tamworth area at the
time.
The
next step was to trace Richard’s
birth. We know that Humphry Pipe =
Grace Bott bore a son Richard born
in Tamworth,. The other family in Tamworth at the time was that of Samuel, brother of Humphry but no Richard is mentioned in Samuel’s will.
Other Pipe Families in the area.
There
was the Pipe family headed by Samuel living at Tamworth at the time with
siblings, namely:
Samuel baptised 17 Dec 1734 Tamworth
John 1746
Sarah Grace baptised 19 May 1752 Tamworth
Elizabeth baptised
1 Aug 1753 Tamworth
Humphrey baptised
19 Oct 1755 Tamworth
Thomas
Joseph
James died
19 Nov 1838
John
bore a son Thomas who also lived at Tamworth. Thomas’s son Charles Joshua married Jane
Leonard from Worcester. Charles’s son Charles
Edwin married Lucy Elgar from
Worcester, sister of Sir Edward Elgar,
in 1881. Charles Edwin was born in
Lichfield in 1853 his father, Charles Joshua died in 1861and Charles Edwin
endued the rough life of a “Charity Brat” at The London Orphan Asylum at
Clapton, On 2 January 1868 was sent to be apprenticed by his uncle, Edwin Leonard in Broad Street,
Worcester. Mr Leonard was “lame” and Charles Pipe spent most of the time
driving his employer in a pony carriage between the Board Street shop and Bath
Road house. Mr Leonard owned a “Provision Merchants Shop”. Charles Pipe earned
£8 per year until he was aged 20. Following the death of Mr Leonard on 24th
March 1873, Charles Pipe became a partner in the business in Broad Street,
known as Browne and Pipe. Charles Edwin Pipe died 1938 aged 85. He had
been a prominent member of the Glee Club, the Worcestershire Naturalists Club
and was keenly interested in the music festivals. He had also been Governor of
the Hop Market. His memoirs were serialised in the Worcester Barrow’s Journal
in 1972.
Samuel b 4 Jun
1716, was son of another Samuel who
married Jane Spateman. They first
lived at Walsall and later at Stafford (Tamworth may been in the registration
district of Stafford). Finally Samuel
became vicar of nearby Croxall on 1 Nov 1763 until his death in 1779. There are eight recorded sibling baptisms:
Mary 4
Jun 1713 Walsall
Jane 12 Nov 1714
Samuel 4 Jun 1716
Howard 26 Dec 1717
John 1 Nov 1720 Stafford
James 20 Nov 1721
Anne 20 Oct 1722
Elizabeth
15 Jul 1726
Samuel
was son of Samuel of Bilston who
died in 1706.
The
Pipe and Pype family are then described in “History of Bilston” published in
1841.
Back to the family line.
Humphrey
married Grace Bott on 23 Sep 1717.
There is a large marriage agreement drawn up before the marriage. The dowry was £800 with an agreement to pay
back £2000 but this not clear why.
Humphrey Pipe was educated at Oxford and with a BA and MA. Samuel had saved £223 1s 6d while at
Oxford for seven years probably from his father. Samuel kept a diary that still
exists at Statfold Hall. (Fosters Alumni
Oxonienses 1500-1886 quotes: Humphrey son of Samuel of Bilston. Pembroke College, matric 9/7/1700 aged 18.
B.A. from New Inn Hall 1704, MA from Pembroke 1712.)
From History, Gazetteer and Directory of
Staffordshire, William White, Sheffield, 1851 - Statfold
"Statfold is a
remarkably small parish and manor, three miles NE of Tamworth, containing only
five houses, 45 inhabitants, and 450 acres of land, all belonging to Stanley
Pipe Wolferstan, Esq, who resides in the Hall, a handsome brick manor, erected
in 1571, and having an observatory which commands an extensive prospect. The
Wolferstans obtained this manor in marriage with the heiress of the Stanleys,
in 1590. The two farms are occupied by the owner, and James Chiswell is the
farming bailiff." Church History - "The
church is a small neglected structure, containing some ancient monuments, but
it has no minister, the parish being too small for the maintenance of
one."
All Saints church, which
stood in the grounds of the Hall, was used as a mortuary chapel by the
Wolferstan family for many years. It was restored and refitted in 1906 for use
as a parish church. Location or existence of any
register is unknown
Humphrey
and Grace bore at least two
children, another Samuel born 7
August 1719 and Richard father of
Robert.. Samuel was to marry his mother’s niece, Dorothy.
Grace
was daughter of John Bott (1641-85)
and Elizabeth Wolferstan
(1637-1711). Elizabeth was daughter of Francis
Wolferstan (1612-76) who married Frances
Middlemore (1607-76) of Statfold Hall. (The current incumbents of the Hall
are now also Francis and Frances). Francis’s son Stanford (1651-1698) had a son
Stanford (1689-1772) who married Sarah Littleton (1691-1775). It was their
daughter Dorothy (1715-1754) that married Samuel Pipe (1719-1779) son of
Humphrey (1682-1725) and Grace Bott (died 1747).
Humphry’s
son Samuel was also at Oxford:
Samuel son of Humphrey of Birmingham, cleric, Pembroke College Matric 26/3/1736
aged 16, B.A. 1739, M.A 1742.
Samuel
son of Samuel father of Humphrey, who was to become vicar of
Croxall was also at Pembroke Matric
3/4/1767 and James also son of Samuel of Stafford gent. B 1722. Matric
Pembroke College 18/5/1739, B.A. 1742, M.A. 1745.
James Pipe stayed on at
Pembroke College as he was still there in 1759 as “Batchelor of Arts”. He made a will on 11th February
1749, but does not mention his position in the College.
He
appears to be unmarried and leaves his estate to John Clements Vicar of
Coleworth in the county of Stafford and to his daughters Elizabeth and Mary.
The sisters were left £500 while “All and
singular my Manor of Bradley in the said County of Stafford and also all my
freehold messuages Lands Tenements??? amounts and premises siluate? Lying and
being in the corous? Fields Libertis and Pratuits? Of Bilson and Bradley in the
said county of Stafford and also all my Suasiholds? And copyhold messuages
Lands tenements and accoutrements with the appurtenances in Bradley and Bilston
aforesaid to have and to hold the said manor freehold and copyhold messuages
lands tenements ….” He goes on to say that John Clements wife Mary shall
hold the Manor after the death of John.
James
had a sister Mary, and she was probably the wife of John Clements.
Humphrey
became under-master of Wolverhampton Free School was buried in the south
Chancel of Wolverhampton Collegiate Church in 1716, being a Deacon in Holy
Orders. Wolverhampton registers state:
“Humphry Pipe MA,
under-master of Wolverhampton Grammar School and youngest son of Samuel Pype
Esq of Bilston: buried August 23rd 1705 aged 43 years”. In Bilston Registers the entry reads “1705-6.
Tis said yt Mr Humphry Pipe has, by his last will and testament, left a
considerable sum of money to be laid out in charitable uses in Bilston, in
case his son Samuel die before he comes
of age. His sister Mrs Sarah Pipe has ;likewise by her last will left £40,
after her decease to be also laid out in some charitable uses at Bilston, if she
do not alter her will in this particular. Ideo Quare. Sarah died on 20
September 1732. A memorandum in the records states: It is also unanimously
agreed that from Michaelmas next (1754) the interest of Mrs Sarah Pipe’s legacy
shall be applied for the schooling of poor children, pursuant to the
recommendation of Mrs Pipe’s executors.” Signed Ed. Best, Minister, Rd
Careless, Chapelwarden and others.
Humphry’s son Samuel
married Dorothy Wolferstan on 23 Sep
1749. In 1776 Samuel assumed the
surname Pipe-Wolferstan by Sign Manual.
They had one recorded son Humphrey who carried on the surname Pipe-Wolferstan.
This family perpetuated to the present day. Major Egerton Pipe-Wolferstan who
was adjutant of the 4th Battalion the North Staffordshire Regiment
until he retired in 1902. There are a
number of the families still surviving in 1998 as Pipe-Wolferstan. They included Keith
F Pipe Wolferstan of 3 Fox Court, Stowmarket, IP14 1HQ (01449
672648).wolferstan@aol.com and a cousin Francis and wife Frances, still living
at Statfold Hall, near Tamworth.
Samuel Pipe MA became Rector of Walton on Trent and Vicar of Croxall
Derbyshire.
There are a number of recorded
Pipe events from Croxall:
Ann = Robert Earp 16 Jan 1826
Ann = William Coleman 12 Dec 1875
Catherine do of John & Ann Pipe 1811
Elizabeth do of John & Ann Pipe 27 Dec 1818
Hannah = James Markland 11 May 1869
John so Benjamin & Hannah Pipe 22 Jan 1832
Mary = John Camp 23 Nov 1812
A
volume by the name of “The Plantagent Roll of the Blood Royal”
a table of all livings descendants of Edward 3rd compiled by the
Marquis of Ruvigny in 1907” stated that there were an estimated 100,000
descendants of Edward 3rd living. There is a line from Dorothy
Wolferstan through the Littleton family to the Devereux/Essex family. The
Deveraux family are descended from Lady Isabella Plantagenet. There is also a
line via Humphry Pipe b 1682 who married Grace Bott on 22 Sep 1713. Grace was
daughter of John Bott and her mother was Elizabeth Wolferstan.
According
to a note in Ruvigny “Samuel Pipe Wolferstan was a distinguished
antiquity and associate of Stebbing Shaw the Staffordshire Historian. “
Humphry
baptised in 1682, son of Samuel Pipe and Howard Prince. Samuel married Howard
(sic) aged 22, daughter of Sir Richard
Prince of Shrewsbury, in 1664.
Samuel registered the family Coat of Arms. The family lived first in
Bilston and there are eight recorded baptisms at St Peter’s Church,
Wolverhampton plus two other children:

The
father of Samuel was Sir Walter. From about 1669 Samuel lived
in Bilston, and lived at Bilston signing the earliest preserved page of
Bilston’s Chapel Warden’s Accounts in 1669, holding the post several times and
dying in 1706. The death is recorded in Bilston Chapel records written by Rev
Richard Ames, Curate “Nov 2 1706 On ye
same day, about seven o’ye clock in ye morning, Samuel Pipe Esq, died of a
cholic, or such like acute illness, having reasonably hearty ye evening before
aged as I take it about 65 years. He left ten pounds to ye poor.”
Walter Pype was son of Samuel
of Bilston, who had another son Walter who died as a youth and buried in Wolverhampton and a
daughter Elizabeth who married Thomas Jevon of Sedgley.
Walter
was fined £12 in 1631 for not appearing to be knighted. However he must have
later withdrawn his objection, as there was a plaque in Wolverhampton Church to
the memory of Sir Walter Pipe.
This Samuel b 1559, was son of Sir Richard Pipe. Sir Richard was first married to Margaret Moseley daughter of Nicholas
Moseley of Bilston, when aged 25 and then to Elizabeth, daughter of Humphry
Luce of London on 24 May 1546 at St Lawrence Jewry. Finally he married Jane, widow of Henry Beecher who left a
Will dated 1588. Together they bore at
least seven children including:

their two sons William and Richard executors.
He leaves “ cousin
Boylson a ring and gown valued at £6 and to my mother one also and to her £20
in money. To my wife all the plate this day in my house. The rest to my

Hall and to the Hospital £5. 40s to the poor of this parish. This is to take
effect if that money which I have disbursed for Stafford’s cause may be
recovered, or but the half thereof.” Also in the will he says that “I hadd greate losse”
Sir Richard Pype went to London becoming a rich merchant. He was elected
Alderman of Bishopgate in 1570 and then Sheriff in 1572 when he represented the
City Council before Queen Elizabeth I. He became Lord Mayor of London in 1578. The History of Bilston relates:
“ Richard, after receiving an education worthy
of his position, displayed a strong inclination for commercial pursuits, and he
was accordingly placed with a wealthy London mercer, of high reputation, names
Wallingford. Here he displayed such excellent business qualifications, and at
the same time such superior literary tastes, that he became known to so of the
most prominent scholars and merchants of the time; associating with some of
Shakespeare’s contemporary dramatists; if not with Shakespeare himself,
although such prudence that it never injured his commercial reputation with the
grave and prejudiced City fathers. He was elected a councilor for his ward in
Bishopsgate, so well did he look after the welfare of the citizens that he was
in 1570 elected Alderman of the ward. His house became a resort of many of the
most eminent men I politics, literature and commerce, for he was skilful in
conversation, eminent in tact and judgement, gay and witty, grave and
venerable, wise and learned. He encouraged the arts, patronised literature,
helped the needy and fed the poor. In the year 1572, he was elected sheriff,
and had the honour of representing the City before Elizabeth, when business or
policy induced the City Council to appeal to the Queen. In 1578, he was raised
to the highest public dignity, and on several occasions showed his will and
power to benefit the citizens not only generally, but those of his ward
particularly. During his mayorality a dispute occurred respecting the
boundaries of Aldgate and Bishopsgate wards, Sir Rowland Heyward, alderman of
the former ward, claiming certain houses of considerable value as belonging to
his ward. The contention Sir Richard Pype resisted and challenged proof of Sir
Roland’s claim. The matter was argued on several occasions before the court of
Aldermen, with the result that Sir Richard Pype secured the disputed houses for
his own ward, by the admirable way in which he searched for proofs and placed
his facts before the court. A striking proof of the esteem with which he was
regarded in the literary world is afforded by the fact that Stephen Gosson
dedicated his book “A short apology for the School of Abuse, 1579, the Right
Honorable Sir Richard Pype, knight, Lord Maior of the Citie of London, and the
right worshipful his brethren continuance of health and maintenance of civil
government.”
On 14th
April 1578 Sir Richard Pype, Lord
Mayor of London, to Burghley, Requests licence to transport 500 quarters of
damaged wheat, belonging to the City of London. This is according to the
Harlean Manuscripts in the hand of Nicholas Charles who died in 1613.
Sir Richard died on 19 September 1587 and left a will dated 22 Jun
1587. He also had lands in Nottinghamshire and is described as Richard Pipe of
Mullingwell in the County of Nottingham, knight. He divided his estates “equally
into three partes” . “to Jane my wyfe
one equal parte according to the laudable custom of the city of London… I give my
children hereafternamed that is to saye Humfrye Pype Richard Pype, Samuell Pype
Margaret Chamberleyn and Suzan Smith and the third part of my fair goods

The
Drapers’ Company at Drapers’ Hall, Throgmorton Avenue, London have no record of
the cup ever having been received. Sir
Richard translated to the Drapers’ Company from the Leathersellers’ Company on
2nd October 1571. Such a move was necessary so that he could become
Lord Mayor in 1578 since the ruling at that time was that a Mayor had to be a
member of one of the Great Twelve Livery Companies. (Drapers are number three
and Leathersellers fifteen)
Sir
Richard was elected Master of the Drapers’ Company three times – in 1573, 1577
and 1581. He was followed by his son David, who was admitted by Patrimony on 10th
January 1581. David made free of the Company, one apprentice Henry Ince in
1591.

Sir Richard was son of Richard
and Margaret daughter of Wakelyn of Derbyshire. Richard died in 33rd year of Henry VII (1542) and was
buried in our Lady’s Chapel in Wolverhampton Church. He left a widow who was Alice daughter of Ralph Baron Ducie and
two sons, John his heir and Richard an infant. Alice was likely to
have been his second wife. Richard and
his brother John were sons of Thomas de Pype of Billestun, who died
the fifth year of Henry VII (1490). John
died without issue so Richard became
heir.
Thomas
was son of William son of Walter de Pype. Walter
was in turn heir of John de Pype.
The History of Bilston states “In the 20th
year of Richard II. Gwalter de Pype was witness to the will of John de
Byllestone in which John gave certain lands in Bilston to his children, John,
Margaret and Joan. In the 36th of Henry VI William Pype is described
in an old deed as son and heir of William Pype. This William and his brother
John were two of the landowners in Bilston who agreed in 1548 to surrender
certain land lying in the “Windmill Fields” in Bilston, and in the crofts
called Prison Croft, Pagebirch Croft, and Moxall Croft, to the use of Sir
Thomas de Edrington for the purpose of founding a chantry in Bilston chapel,
called Erdington’s Charity, to be held by the priestfor the time being on
condition he prayed for the repose of the souls of the founders. The deed is
still preserved in the muniments of the Wrottesley family and was exhibited in
the last Wolverhampton exhibition. (It
is believed that the document was destroyed during a fire at Wrottesley Hall
(now a Hotel)
John
Pype was a witness to a deed signed apud Darlaston dies Petrius ad Vincula 1339.
John became vicar of Bradley in
North Staffordshire. He married a daughter of Hugh Mollesley, by whom he had
several children among them Walter
their heir, and John. In 1415, John
Pype and a number of Bilston men at his instigation were presented in the
Hundred Court by Sir Hugh Burnell “for
that they had broken into his closes at Willenhall, trespassed upon his lands,
and committed damage to a grevious extent, in defiance of the law”. What
let to this riotous conduct and the verdict arrived at, is not recorded.
The
History of Bilston then reports:
In the early 15th Century Iron Pipe (sic) owned 15 tenements and
in 1458 a Chantry was founded. John
and William Pipe being two of the
founders who gave land lying in Windmill Field. In Elizabethan times Sir Richard Pype paid an Easter Tithe
of 13 ½ pence in lieu of hay! During the same period John Pipe paid an ancient
“quit rent” to the Lord of the Manor for pasture ground adjacent to Stow Heath.
The holder of Hume’s Tenement in 1699 was Samuel
Pipe, Esquire, who may have been the person given as a Bailiff within the
Constablewick of Bilston, in the Manor of Stowheath”, 1716. The original seat
of the Pype or Pipe family was at Pype, then Pipe Ridware, mentioned in the 20th
year of Richard II.
Thomas Pype father of Sir
Richard, was son of William Pype
who succeeded Walter Pype. Thomas married Alice Ducie daughter of Ralph, Baron Ducie.
Thomas’s son Richard Pype was a juror at inquisition
42nd year of Henry III reign (1262). Next was Robert Pype attorney to Bishop Alexander in 1286, succeeded by Randulph Pype in 1293, whose son Robert Pype de Bilston succeeded in
1342. This Robert had two sons John and Thomas. Thomas became Chantry Priest in Lichfield Cathedral, his
brother John succeeding to the estates, his heir was Walter and other son John was Vicar of Bradley, subsequently
Archdeacon of Coventry, dying in 1374. In the 36th year of Henry VI
(1468), William Pipe was the son and
heir of Walter Pipe the elder, he
and his brother John being the ones mentioned earlier who gave lands in
“Windmill Fields”, later given more in “Prison’s Croft”, “Pagebirch Croft” and
“Moxall Croft” to “Erdington’s Charity”.
Robert was
son of Randulph bore Sir Robert and Sir Thomas Pype.
Robert had two sons: John and Thomas who married Margaret Bassett and a daughter Margarett. Margaret married Sir William Vernon and produced at least
three sons, Henry, Richard and William plus daughters. The Will of Sir William Vernon dated 1468
still exists, leaving his Manor etc to his sons.
Despite
phone calls to all the Pipes in the local telephone directories, no living
members of the Bilston/Tamworth Pipe family have been found. However two
Pipe-Wolferstan families have been contacted. There is another ranch of the
Pipe family that come from East Anglia. Members of that branch say that they
are descended from the same roots but the connection is back in the 176th
century. The Pipe families currently living in Lichfield are descended from the
East Anglia family. There appear to be more Pipe families in USA and Canada,
than there is in England. Some day I will check to see where they came from.
There
area also a few Pype families in France and Belgium. There seems to be no
relationship between the Pipe/Pype families and the Piper name.
One record shows Margaret as daughter of
William Pype:
“Margaret PYPE
Father: William PYPE
Mother: SPERNORE
Family 1: William VERNON
This indicates a second marriage to Henry!

Scots 25 May 1298 (P.W.). Outlawed with Rog. And Thos de P. for the unlawful
assemblies, but pardoned 16 Apr. 1326 (.R.).
The
life of Sir Thomas is quite well
documented.
Thomas
de Pype held Bradley Manor, Bilston in the year of Edward II,
& marched with him against the Scots in the previous year. The History of
Bilston states “ Thomas Pype according to the Assixe Rolls for the 17th
of Edward II (133) was on Wednesday December 7th of that year before
John de Stonore and other of the King’s Justices and the Jurors of the various
hundreds in the County of Stafford held at Tamworth, when certain present were
made to the effect that Sir Tomas Pype, Knight, and Philip Lutteleye, who had
lately acted within the said Counry as the principal Taxers and Collectors had
within the last ten years taken great sums of money from various villes under
cover of their office and appropiated the same for their own use. They appeared
before the court and pleaded guilty; but prayed that the Justices would mulet them
in a fine for their transgressions. Thomas de Pype got off with a fine of £40.
The fact that Thomas had just returned from serving the King against the Scots
was probably taken into account.
Thomas
sat as a juror on an Inquisition held in the Michaelmas Term in the 44th
year of Henry III (1262) at which Margaret de Bromwyche sued John Wygot for the
imprisoning her against the King’s peace.
The entry in the Harleian
Society 1930 – Knights of Edward I reads:

Apr. 1326 (C.R.).
Sir Thomas’s father was Randulph
de Pype son of Roger de Pype. Randulph
who died in 1342, left as his heir Robert,
brother of Thomas.
Thomas
had a brother Robert. He, with William
de Stafford and William de Wrottesley by letter Patent, dated from St Edmund’s,
on 10th March 1300 was appointed a justice for the County of
Stafford for the due observance of the Articles of the Great Charter and
Statute of Winchester. This Robert
had a son Thomas Pype who in 1318
served under John de Somery, Baron of Dudley. (See also the Allchurch family
and their connections with the Dudley family at this time.)
Roger,
father of Randulph was chosen by
Alexander, Bishop of Lichfield, as his attorney to appear on his behalf in a
charge that he, the Bishop, had without warrant, made a saltatorium or deer leap, against the boundary of Cannock Forrest
in the year 1286whereby the King’s deer had frequently escaped or had been
driven by the Bishop’s men into the Bishop’s land and could not return, wherein
ye Chief Forester claimed restitution.
Roger
was son of Sir Robert who died in 1293. In 1286, Sir Robert was appointed as
attorney to Bishop Alexander of Lichfield. He married Maud Thamethorpe.
Sir Roberts
father was another Ranulph, who was son of another Robert de Pype. born c 1190.
The History of Bilston states “[The Pypes] a knightly race of Norman extraction
and of military celevrity; once the associates of Kings and nobles who’s
connections with Bilston dates back in an unbroken line to the twelfth century.
… The head of the family is said to have originally settled at Pype. Pype
Ridware, in the north of the county, soon after the Conquest, on lands bestowed
upon them by the Conqueror, for military services. Shaw, in his History of
Staffordshire, tells us: “that the Pipes
of Bilston were an offshoot of the Redware Pypes abd came here [to Bilston]
when the family divided. Whether that be an actual fact or not little matters;
but it is certain that a regular succession of Pypes have resided here since
the time of Edward I., as documentary evidence amply proves. But it is almost a
matter of certainty that the date of their settlement here was many years
earlier. One member of the family fought under the King’s banner against the
Scots under Sir William Wallace, and in the reign of Edward II.; for according to the Normanorum Villorum Roll for Staffordshire of the 9th
year of that King’s reign (1281) Thomas de Pype was Lord of the Manor of
Bradley in Bilston. “
Another
member of the Pipe family also researching the family believe that the original
family name in Norman times was La Feber
and that the first Robert’s father was Richard
La Feber.
Pipe Hall
The Pipe Hall of today is a sad
ending to a great estate. It is now by the side of a railway bridge facing St
Leonard’s Church. The Hall was built before the church as earlier Pipe
baptisms, marriages and burials were held in Wolverhampton. The Hall was built in Hall Street that took
its name from the Hall.
The existing Hall is a
replacement from the 18th century. The original Pype Hall was built
as a half timbered building from possibly Norman times and at least from the 12th
Century. It is reported to have been built of great strength at a time when the
country was in conflict between the Saxons and Normans. Documents exist
connecting the family with Bilston from the time of Edward I.
The History of Bilston reads:
“Sir Richard Pype heads the list as principal landowner. He built a
splendid mansion near the present Pipe Hall, and here he spent most of his
time, when he could release himslf from the cares and anxieties of his business
and public duties in the City. (other records suggest that he rarely
returned to Bilston as he also had lands in Nottinghamshire).”
James
b 1721 son of Samuel lived at Pype
Hall, Bilston when not in Oxford, but did not have any children. He sold the
Hall in 1748 to Captain Barber of Summerfield. Barber’s heir then sold the Hall
to James Wilkinson, the famous iron-master.
It later became a private school then a pub and nightclub.
