Arthur Champernowne

Sir Arthur Champernowne (c.1524〔(A. D. K. Hawkyard, 1982, "Champernon (Chamberlain, Chamborne), Sir Arthur (by 1524-78), of Modbury And Dartington, Devon" ), in S. T. Bindoff (ed.), ''The History Of Parliament: The House Of Commons 1509–1558''. Available from: ''History of Parliament Online''. (Access: 29 August 2014).〕 – 29 March 1578) was an English politician, high sheriff and soldier who lived at Dartington Hall in Devon, England.
Champernowne belonged to a large Anglo-Norman family that originated from Cambernon, in Normandy. Following the Norman Conquest of the 11th century, members of the family acquired estates in Devon. Their surname was originally spelt Champernon, and Sir Arthur Champernowne has sometimes been referred to by that spelling; he was also known by at least two other surnames: Chamborne and Chamberlain.〔 (These variations may reflect, at least in part, a state of flux in English during the 16th century, including variations in the spelling and usage of surnames by individuals.)
Other members of the Champernowne family were prominent in (royal) court, political and military circles during the 16th century: Arthur Champernowne's aunt Lady Kat Ashley (or Astley; née Champernowne) was governess to Queen Elizabeth I, and Sir Walter Raleigh and Sir Humphrey Gilbert were his nephews.
Sir Arthur Champernowne is sometimes confused with relatives also christened Arthur, including Arthur Champernowne (also Champernon; born c. 1560), an emissary of Elizabeth I.
==Biography==
Champernowne was the second son of Sir Philip Champernowne of Modbury, Devon. When England was alerted to a possible invasion, he served in the English army at the Siege of Boulougne.
In 1549, Champernowne helped subdue a rebellion that sought to have the Latin ''Bible'' restored to a position of authority over the English-language version. The rebellion began in Cornwall, where the Cornish language was still widely spoken and English was regarded as a foreign language. He was knighted on 10 November 1549 for his part in crushing the western rebellion.〔DNB〕

Champernowne was an ardent protestant. He flirted with the conspiracy of cousin, Sir Peter Carew to support the claim of Lady Jane Grey, but wisely settled for accepting Mary Tudor. Champernowne was installed as Member of Parliament for Barnstaple in 1552 (replacing the elected MP, Sir James Wilford, who had died).
He spent early 1554, in the Tower, but was released on recognizance of a fine of £1000, and allowed to return to Devon. Although excluded from office by the Marian regime, he was chosen a local JP in 1555. They elected him in turn for Plympton Erle in 1555, Plymouth in 1559 and Totnes in 1563.
In 1546 Sir Arthur married Mary Norreys, widow of Sir George Carew, whose father Sir Henry Norris had been implicated in the fall of Anne Boleyn and was beheaded. In 1554 he exchanged with Thomas Aylworth, Lord of Dartington, the mansion house at Polsoe, Exeter for the Dartington estate, which contained the medieval Dartington Hall. By 1560 the construction of a new Elizabethan front on the foundation of the older buildings was underway and this continued for several years. His descendants continued to live in Dartington Hall until it became partly derelict and was sold in 1925.
