Damaris Woolley, Somerset

Every so often you come up with a marvellous name in your family tree, and my  10 x G Grandmother Damaris Woolley certainly meets that criteria.
Damaris was born 10 Nov 1669 in Barrington Somerset, England. Barrington is now a conservation village with thatched and cob buildings aplenty.

Wikipedia has the following to say about Barrington Court.

"The manor was inherited in 1514 by Henry Daubeney, created Earl of Bridgewater for his services to Henry VIII. He spent much of his time in France and little time in Somerset.[7] He may have begun the new house, but he went bankrupt and was involved in the disgrace of Catherine Howard, Henry VIII's fifth wife"

It was used for a location (as St James Palace) in the drama Wolfe Hall recently.

In Damaris' year of birth, William of Orange and the deposed King James II's daughter Mary took the throne, and the Bill of Rights enshrining that a Catholic could never again ascend the British throne was read, which is still law to this day.

Damaris passed away in 1728 in Little Horwood, Buckinghamshire, England. The manor of which had passed into the hands of  George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham in the mid 16th century after the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
