Dear John and Louise
According to Margaret's memorial inscription in Noseley church, her second
husband was certainly John Blaket.
"Hic jacet domina Margareta uxor Johannis Blaket, quondam uxor Rogeri
Heroni, militis, filia Radulphi Hastyngs que obit an. 1406 cujus anime
propitiet' D's. Amen"
[John Harwood Hill, The History of Market Harborough, (Leicester, 1875),
p.180]
Cheers
Rosie

The early history of the other part of the advowson is obscure. In about 1220 it was the property of Walter Martival, (Footnote 68) and, as the Martivals' property in Hallaton was granted in part at least by the Crevequer family, (Footnote 69) it seems likely that the church may have been founded by a member of that family late in the 11th or early in the 12th century, and one half granted to Leeds and the other half to the Martivals. This half descended to Isabel de Saddington, who inherited the property of her maternal uncle Roger Martival, Bishop of Salisbury. (Footnote 70) She brought the advowson of this half of the rectory to her husband Ralph Hastings, and in 1369 they conveyed it for 100 marks to the warden of Noseley College and William Gower. (Footnote 71) In 1387 Gower received formal licence from the king to grant his half of the advowson to the college. Provision was made for the two halves of the rectory to be united once more, (Footnote 72) but this was not done and they remained separate until 1728. (Footnote 73) In 1401 Gower received a grant of half the advowson from Richard Byllem, clerk, (Footnote 74) perhaps one of the chaplains, presumably a grant for one turn. In 1410 two exwardens of the college, Laurence Blakesley and John Aimore, granted half the advowson, again probably for one turn, to John Blaket, the husband of Margaret Hastings, the daughter of Ralph and Isabel Hastings. In this grant the advowson is referred to as having been lately granted to the college by William Gower. (Footnote 75) Noseley College seems to have disposed of one half of the advowson before the death of Thomas Nevill of Holt in 1503. He devised the advowson, which he said he had purchased, to one of his younger sons, Thomas. The terms of his inquisition post mortem imply that he owned the whole advowson, but this does not seem to be correct, (Footnote 76) although the college's possession of the advowson is not mentioned in the chantry certificate of 1546. (Footnote 77) In 1535 one half of the rectory paid a pension to the college. (Footnote 78) It seems clear, however, that the advowson of half the rectory was retained by the college and passed to the Crown at its dissolution. It probably formed part of the royal grant to Richard Branthwayte and Roger Bromley in 1588, and, becoming known as the north mediety, passed to John Dent, and then to the Street family and Benjamin Bewicke and his descendants. (Footnote 79)
