- n the reign of King Henry VII., Christopher, the son of Reginald Harman, of Tunstall, in tin's county, Esq., was owner of Naunton Hall; and in 1552, John Harman, Esq., by deed of bargain and sale, conveyed the said manor, with Caketon's, to James Spencer, his brother-in-law, and his heirs; who made Naunton Hall his seat. He died in 1567, seized of this entire estate.
It continued in the house of Spencer, until the death of Edward Spencer, Esq., about 1734; when Anne,1 his daughter and co-heiress, inherited the same. She married, 1st., James, fifth Duke of Hamilton, and secondly, the Hon. Richard Savage Nassau, second son of Frederick, third Earl of Rochford.
It descended to Lord Archabald Hamilton, the late Duke of Hamilton, by whom it was sold: it was afterwards purchased by Sir George Wombwell, Bart., and by him sold to the late Peter Isaac Thellusson, Esq., afterwards created Baron Rendlesham. The estate is now vested in his representative, Lord Rendlesham; who is the principal proprietor in this parish.
