Claverham Court: Collinson says that the Capels held Claverham after the Rodneys, buthe does not mention the Viells. In 1635 Arthur Capell of Little Hadham, Herts, Esq., is mentionedin a “lease of a mansion house in the Manor of Claverham”. A deed of partition of the Manor isdated 1654 and in 1696 a deed refers to “mansion house and lands at Claverham.”(12)In 1729 Samuel Willmott “of Claverham Court” helped to make the Durban inventory(see p.11 of “Yatton Yesterday No. 2”).There is an Abstract of Title (1874) of the Rev. George Turner Seymour and his Trustees to anestate called Claverham Court containing A.184: R.O: P.35. He lived at Tyntesfield, Wraxall,and at the tithe commutation (1841) was “impropriator of the tithes accruing from chapelrylands”. He received £48 in lieu of these tithes. His father, George Penrose Seymour of Belmont,Wraxall, who married Louisa Cam of Claverham House, and died about 1827, owned the Courtpreviously.George, the son, married Marianne, daughter of the famous John Billingsley of AshwickGrove, who left her “a considerable fortune”. George was still alive in 1874, having moved toDevonshire.
