TURNOUR FAMILY; HALLINGBURY AND PARNDON ESTATES
Scope and Content:
These documents relate to the Hallingbury and Parndon estates of the Turnour family and were purchased by Alan Keen from the late Earl Winterton in 1942
The Turnour family appears to have come originally from Haverhill (Suff.) and to have settled in Great and Lt. Parndon in the second half of the 16th century; the manor of Lt. Parndon in the second half of the 16th century; the manor of Lt. Parndon was purchased by Arthur Turnour, serjeant-at-law in the early 17th century and the manors of Great Hallingbury, Walbury and Monkbury in Great and Lt. Hallingbury by his son, Sir Edward Turnour, from Tho., Lord Morley and Mounteagle, in 1665. Sir Edward Turnour (1617- 76) was an eminent lawyer and was Speaker of the House of Commons,1661-72, Solicitor-General, 1670 and Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, 1672. His second wife was Mary, daughter and heiress of Henry Ewer of S. Mimms (Middx.), who brought him lands in that county. His son, Sir Edward Turnour (1643-1721) was M.P. for Orford (Suff.) throughout the reign of Anne; he was a Deputy Lieutenant and J.P.for Essex and commanded a troop of horse in the Militia, which accounts for the interesting group of Lieutenancy papers in this collection (D/DKw O1). Charles Turnour, son of Sir Edw. II, died without male heirs and the estate passed to his niece, Sarah Gee; her son, Edward Turnour Garth (d.1738) was created the first Earl Winterton in the peerage of Ireland in 1766, and died in 1788.
The Hallingbury estate was sold in 1729 after being vested in trustees under a private Act of Parliament for the payment of debts to which they were subject under the will of Sir Edw. Turnour, to the trustees of Jacob Houblon
