(139) Andrewes (later Uthwatt) of Lathbury and Great Linford

Andrews of Lathbury, baronets
The first Sir William Andrewes (1565-1625), kt., who was a younger son of the Andrewes family of Libury in Hertfordshire, was able to buy an estate at Lathbury (Bucks) in 1593, establish himself as a country gentleman, and later build a new house at Lathbury which survived until about 1801, although no drawing of it is known.  His son, Sir William Andrewes (c.1590-1657), kt. married into the Temples of Stowe but seems to have had a hot temper; he fell out with one of his brothers in law and was accused of assaulting him in Lincolns Inn Fields in 1634. Despite this, Sir William seems not to have taken a particularly active part in the Civil War: his house was used first as stabling for the Royalist party but after Newport Pagnell was captured and garrisoned by the Parliamentarians, the house was used to hold Royalist prisoners captive. There is no record of the estate being sequestrated, so Sir William was presumably Parliamentarian in sympathies.

Sir Henry Andrewes (1624-96), was created a baronet in 1661, but had no surviving male issue, and the Lathbury estate passed on his death to his nephew, Henry Andrewes (1667-1744), who was trained as a barrister.  He left only daughters, the eldest of whom, Elizabeth Uthwatt (1700-64), inherited the estate but transferred it in 1753 to her son, Henry Uthwatt (1728-57). Henry also inherited the Great Linford estate from his uncle in 1754, but the two estates did not remain together and passed by different descents.  Henry unfortunately died without children before he was thirty, and Great Linford was held by his widow until 1800; Lathbury reverted to his mother, and passed on her death to her niece, Jane Symes (d. 1799). She divided the estate between a cousin, Margaret Dallway, and a friend, Mansel Dawkins Mansel, who obtained the major portion including the house, which he rebuilt in 1801. The estate was sold after he committed suicide in 1822.

The will of Henry Uthwatt (1728-57) provided for the descent of Great Linford after the expiry of his wife's life interest, and in 1800 it passed to his third cousin, the Rev. Henry Uthwatt Andrewes (1755-1812), on condition that he and future descendants took the name Uthwatt, which he did in 1803.  The Rev. Henry Uthwatt Uthwatt, as he became, had six sons.  The eldest, Henry Andrewes Uthwatt (1787-1855), established a bank in partnership with his father but never married, so on his death the estate passed to his brother, Rev. William Andrewes Uthwatt (1793-1879), who was minister of a number of local churches including Stowe, where he was also chaplain to the Duke of Buckingham.  He married the daughter of the vicar of Maids Moreton (Bucks), and through her acquired the manor of Maids Moreton, which passed to his only daughter, Mary Henrietta Turner Hutton Andrewes Andrewes (d. 1916).  Great Linford was entailed on male descendants, however, and passed to his next surviving brother, Augustus Thomas Andrewes Uthwatt (1798-1885).

For reasons which remain entirely obscure, Augustus had lived a double life for over half a century. After training and working as a solicitor in Barnet for some years, in 1835 he apparently 'dropped out' and assiduously cultivated obscurity; he moved to Cornwall, and later the Liverpool area. How he supported himself at this time is not clear although it is apparent he was not in easy circumstances.  In Cornwall he formed a relationship with a young orphan gentlewoman, a Miss Manning, by whom he had five children. To his children, theirs was apparently a normal marriage and family, although the family dynamics would seem from later press reports to have been quite odd. Augustus had limited contact with his siblings, but to them he represented himself as a bachelor, and in his dealings with the estate he behaved pretty consistently as though his heir under the entail was his next brother, Edolf Andrewes Uthwatt (1805-82) and when he died, the latter's son, William Francis Edolph Andrewes Uthwatt (1870-1921).  When he died in 1885, therefore, it was  surprise to all parties to discover that he had a large family, and an elder son who expected to inherit the Great Linford estate. A legal case resulted, in which the judge concluded that on the balance of probabilities, Augustus and Miss Manning had not been married, and therefore his children were illegitimate and not eligible to inherit.  The case has some parallels with the mystery of the disappearing baronetcy which I wrote up last year, but on this occasion the motivation that led Augustus to enmesh himself in layers of duplicity over many decades is quite obscure.

Great Linford passed to William Francis Edolph Andrewes Uthwatt (1870-1921), who married into the Bouveries of Delapré Abbey. His son, Maj. William Rupert Edolph Andrewes Uthwatt-Bouverie (1899-1954) subsequently inherited and sold both the Great Linford and Delapré estates.  The Maids Moreton estate passed from Miss Mary Andrewes (d. 1916) to her cousin, Thomas Andrewes Uthwatt (1846-1927), and his son, Eusebius Andrewes Andrewes (1875-1954) appears to have sold it. 


Lathbury Place, later Lathbury Park, Buckinghamshire


Lathbury Park: the new house built in 1801 for Mansel Dawkins Mansel.

Nothing is known of the house which is reputed to have been built in the early 17th century by the first Sir William Andrewes, and which was known as Lathbury Place. The present house is a plain stone building built on the same site in 1801 for Mansel Dawkins Mansel (d. 1822).  It has a five bay front with arched windows on the ground floor; the Doric porch in the centre is a mid 19th century addition. In the 1920s the house was used as a school preparing boys for entry to Sandhurst, and it is reported later to have been used as an agricultural college (in the 1930s) and a maternity home (in the 1940s). It is now once more in private occupation.

Descent: sold 1592 to Sir William Andrews, kt. (1565-1625); to son, Sir William Andrews, kt. (c.1590-1657), who settled the estate in 1650 on his son, Sir Henry Andrews, 1st bt. (1624-96); to nephew, Henry Andrews (1667-1744); to daughter, Elizabeth Andrews (1700-64), wife of Richard Uthwatt (d. 1749) of Rickmansworth (Herts), who settled the estate in 1753 on her son, Henry Uthwatt (d. 1757), but it reverted to her on her death; to niece, Jane Symes (c.1733-99), who bequeathed the estate  to her cousin Margaret Dallwey and her friend, Mansel Dawkins Mansel (d. 1822), who built a new house; to his sons who sold c.1824 to Richard John Tibbits of Barton Segrave (Northants); to daughter, Mary Isabella Tibbits (d. 1904), wife of Samuel Hood (later Hood-Tibbits) (1808-46), 3rd Viscount Hood; to son, Francis Wheler Hood (1838-1907), 4th Viscount Hood, who sold c.1905 to William Trevor (fl. 1925)...


Great Linford Manor, Buckinghamshire

Great Linford is one of the many villages swallowed up by the creation from the 1960s onwards of the new city of Milton Keynes, but the setting of the manor house, church, school and almshouses in a loop of the Grand Union Canal has been preserved by the planners. Much of the ensemble is due to Sir William Pritchard (c.1632-1705), who bought the estate in 1683, demolished the medieval manor house and what was left of the medieval village, and built a grand new square double-pile house in 1688-89 to the designs of the mason/ contractor, George Kempe, and joiner, William Adderbury, as well as the school and almshouses.

In about 1728-30, Thomas Uthwatt (d. 1754) refronted the house in ashlar and probably added the attic storey and the lower kitchen wing to the north.  The doorcase appears to be 17th century but has been re-used, and at one time incorporated a cartouche with the Uthwatt arms. Inside, the panelling and chimneypieces seem also to date from the 1720s or 1730s.  Uthwatt also built two large symmetrical pedimented stable pavilions either side of the approach drive but facing back towards the house; the intent seems not to form a single Palladian composition with the house but to frame the approach in the view from the house.

Rather later, apparently in the 1740s, a south wing was built to match the north wing and provide a fashionable 'Great Room' for entertaining.  It is austerely plain outside, but has Rococo decoration within, some of it renewed when the house was restored and converted into an arts centre in 1978-81 by Donald Insall & Partners.  It has since become a recording studio.

Descent: Crown granted 1560 to John Thompson (d. 1597); to son, Robert Thompson (d. 1633), a lunatic, whose son, Sir John Thompson, kt. managed the estate and sold it 1640 to Sir Richard Napier (d. 1676), kt.; to son, Thomas Napier, who sold 1678 to Sir William Pritchard (c.1632-1705), kt.; to nephew, Richard Uthwatt (d. 1719); to son, Thomas Uthwatt (d. 1754); to nephew, Henry Uthwatt (d. 1757); to widow, Frances Uthwatt (d. 1800) and then to his cousin, Rev. Henry Uthwatt Andrewes (later Uthwatt) (1755-1812); to son, Henry Andrewes Uthwatt (1787-1855); to brother, Rev. William Andrewes Uthwatt (1793-1879); to brother, Augustus Thomas Andrewes Uthwatt (1798-1885); to nephew, William Francis Edolph Andrewes Uthwatt (d. 1921); to son, William Rupert Edolph Andrewes Uthwatt (later Uthwatt-Bouverie) (1899-1954), who sold the estate.
