The Church of St Peter Vincula
In the Chancel a very stately Monument of the Blounts; the one of Sir Richard Blount, the other of Sir Michael, Son of the said Richard; both successively Lieutenants of the Tower. Sir Richard Dyed, 11. Aug. 1564. And Dame Mary, Wife of Sir Michael Blount, one of the Coheirs of Thomas Moor of Bissiter, Deceased Dec. 23. 1592. Who lies here also interred.
Sir Michael was buried in St. Peter's church in the Tower, with a handsome monument adjoining that of his father, and exactly resembling it. The time of his death is not mentioned on it, but it says that Dame Mary, his wife, died the 23d of December, 1592. They had five sons and six daughters, Richard, Thomas, Charles, Henry, Robert, Catherine, Mary, Anne, Elizabeth, Frances, and a second Elizabeth ; of whom only Richard, Thomas, Charles, Catherine, and Frances, survived them
After the dissolution of Bicester Priory in 1536 the site of the monastery and its demesne lands in Bicester and Wretchwick were granted to Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, at fee farm. (fn. 157) In 1537 the duke granted the site of the monastery to Roger Moore and his wife Agnes and sold him nearly 400 acres of demesne for £505. (fn. 158) A number of royal grants followed, including in 1539 that of the reversion of five estates in Wretchwick held on leases from the former prior. (fn. 159) Roger Moore died in 1551 (fn. 160) and his only son, Thomas, who came of age in 1558 or 1559, succeeded to the manor; he was killed in Ireland in 1574. (fn. 161) Roger Moore's widow Agnes married as her second husband Sir Edward Saunders, Lord Chief Baron, who died in 1576. (fn. 162) Agnes was dead by 1583 and the estates which she had held jointly with Roger were divided between her daughters Mary wife of Sir Michael Blount of Mapledurham and Elizabeth wife of Gabriel Fowler of Tilsworth (Beds.). Gabriel Fowler had died in 1582, (fn. 163) and in 1583 Elizabeth conveyed her moiety of what was called the manor of Bicester to Sir John Brockett, (fn. 164) whom she married. In 1589 Sir John conveyed it to Sir Michael Blount and his wife Mary. (fn. 165) Mary died in 1592, and when Livia Ellen Moore, the widow of Thomas Moore, died in 1597 part of her property reverted to Mary's son Sir Richard Blount. (fn. 166) Thus when Sir Richard succeeded his father in 1610 he was in possession of nearly all the original Moore estate, and in 1621 he settled his Bicester lands on his son Sir Charles and his wife Dorothy Clerk. (fn. 167
