A Parish of Historical Significance: The Blount Legacy

Owning these records doesn't just connect you to your own family; it places you in the heart of English history. Addington Manor was the seat of the influential Blount family, and your ancestors may well have been their tenants, servants, or neighbours.

Most notably, the manor was home to Sir John Blount. His daughter, the captivating Elizabeth Blount, was a lady-in-waiting at the court of King Henry VIII and became one of his most famous mistresses. Their relationship produced the king's only acknowledged illegitimate son, Henry FitzRoy, Duke of Richmond and Somerset.

By searching these registers, you may discover ancestors who lived during this tumultuous Tudor period, whose lives were intertwined with one of the most dramatic stories of the English monarchy.
