William Wadham (died 1452)
William Wadham (died 1452) of Edge in the parish of Branscombe in Devon and of Merryfield in the parish of Ilton, near Ilminster, Somerset, was Sheriff of Devon in 1442〔Rogers, p.156, regnal date 20 Henry VI; Given by Pole in his list ''The Sheriffs of Devon since the Conquest'' as ''William Woodham''〕 and was a member of the Devonshire gentry who is mainly remembered for his monumental brass and chest tomb monument in St Mary's Church, Ilminster, Somerset.
==Origins==
He was the eldest son and heir of Sir John II Wadham (died 1412) (son), Justice of the Common Pleas (1389–1398) (said by Pole, apparently in error, to have been Justice of the King's Bench), MP for Exeter in 1399 and for Devon in 1401.〔()〕 Sir John II Wadham was one of Prince's ''Worthies of Devon''.〔Prince, John, (1643–1723) The Worthies of Devon, 1810 edition, biography of Wadham, Sir John, Knight, pp.748–752〕 his mother was Joan Wrothesley, his father's first of two wives.
His father had acquired much land in Devon, Somerset, Dorset and Gloucestershire, which were valued at £82 per annum in an incomplete survey of 1412 and valued at about £115 in his inquisition post mortem in 1412. His Devon landholdings included the manors of Silverton and half the manor of Harberton (both purchased, in 1386 and 1390 respectively, from Cecily Turberville, sister and heiress of John de Beauchamp, 3rd Baron Beauchamp of Hatch) (1329–1361)) and Lustleigh and he acquired over 300 acres of land in Branscombe and elsewhere. His landholdings in Somerset were even more extensive than those in Devon and mostly consisted of properties forfeited by Sir John Cary (died 1395), Chief Baron of the Exchequer. These lands included Hardington Mandeville, a moiety of Chilton Cantelo, and premises in Trent (now in Dorset) he purchased jointly with Hankford in 1389. These large landholdings in Somerset appear to have moved his principal interest away from Devon and the manor of Edge, and towards the end of his life he made his principal residence at Merryfield, Ilton, near Ilminster, Somerset, which he had purchased from Cecily Turberville.〔HoP biography〕 At Merryfield he built a substantial fortified manor house, demolished after 1618, of which only the rectangular moat survives today in the middle of agricultural land south of RAF Merryfield aerodrome.〔(Merryfield House, The Gatehouse record )〕
His sister Margery Wadham was the wife of John Stourton, 1st Baron Stourton (1400-1462) of Stourton in Wiltshire.〔http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1386-1421/member/stourton-john-ii-1400-62〕
