Brice family
The Brices are an historic English family from Somerset, traceable to the late 13th century, and maternal cousins to the Spencers, the Every baronets, and the Worthingtons of Worthington Hall.〔St. George, Henry. (The Visitation of the County of Somerset in the year 1623 ). London, 1876〕 They were significant landowners in Somerset, particularly in Chard and Kingstone Allowenshay, and as Lords of the manor of Dinnington.〔''A History of the County of Somerset, Volume 4'' “(Dinnington )” pp147-151. Victoria County History, London (1978)〕 The family seat was Dinnington Manor House (now ''Frog Farm''),〔British Listed Buildings. “(Frog Farmhouse, Dinnington” )〕 and multiple Brice monuments and tombs survive in the Dinninton parish church of St. Nicholas.〔British Listed Buildings. (Church of St Nicholas, Dinnington ). 1958〕
==History==
The Brices can be found in Somerset as early as 1260, with a Henry Brice mentioned in the deeds for Glastonbury. John Brice fought and died at the Battle of Crecy in 1346, and his son William fought at the Battle of Poitiers ten years later. By 1322 the Brices had established themselves as major landowners in Dinnington, and remained active and prominent in the West Country for centuries after.〔Danyell, Thomas. (The Brice Families of area around Shepton Mallet )〕 Though a string of aristocratic marriages in the 16th century helped secure the family's social position, their decline in fortune came as a result of siding with the royalist cause against Oliver Cromwell during the English Civil War, for which they received severe fines during the interregnum.〔Somerset County Council. (Letter from County Archivist ). 27 July 1988〕
