Sixth
Generation
The following account of John Jolliffe Tufnell, written by his grandson, Brigadier-General L. C. G. Tufnell, is both characteristic and interesting:
"John Jolliffe Tufnell was a great horseman, and was well known in the hunting fields as a first-rate rider to hounds. When a young man at Oxford he was in a position to indulge in his favourite pursuits, one of which was a four-in-hand, and this he drove on tour in France on one occasion. In his stables he kept a large proportion of greys, which he had a special liking for, whilst on the home farms a very fine class of piebald was usually to be seen. The writer well recollects the last of these old grey hunters, which, after Mr. Tufnell's death, was driven by his sister, Miss Harriet Tufnell, of Wallops, in her carriage. It had been brought to the front door when it suddenly fell dead between the shafts.
A pack of harriers were kept at Fitz John's farm for about fifty years, and hunted nearly all that time by Tom Pool, who had the farm rent free for the keep of his house and the hounds. He would never wear a green coat, but said that he would rather buy himself a pink one, though Mr. Tufnell offered to supply the green. Old Sir John Tyrrell of Boreham House used to say of him that he was the only man he knew who reduced jumping to a certainty, and he never saw him down. These hounds were started for the soldiers when there were barracks at Chelmsford. An oil painting of Tom Pool on his hunter now rests behind a fixed glass frame in the study at Langleys.
"Mr. John Jolliffe Tufnell figures in the well-known sporting prints of the 'Essex Hunt,' a set of which hangs at Langleys. Mr. Conyers, the master, is depicted on his grey negotiating a fence, whilst Mr. Tufnell is amongst a group of three others taking a front place.
"The writer, when a boy, well recollects accompanying Mrs. J. J. Tufnell to a garden party at Highlands (then the property of the Priors) in an open carriage, drawn by four grey horses, with postillions dressed in blue jackets, white breeches, and top boots.
"Mr. Tufnell, as a thorough lover of the chase, encouraged his younger folk to follow suit, and the ponies he invariably kept were constantly placed at the disposal of his sons and grandsons. His two sons, Edward and George, were both very fine horsemen and regular followers of hounds with the Essex and East Essex packs.
"He was not often to be seen with a shot gun. The times in which he lived were those when stubbles were long, affording good cover for birds, and shooting over dogs was the order of the day. The more modern practice of driving birds he disapproved of, and any knowledge of such practices by the younger generation was not openly voiced nor recorded.
"Tobacco smoking was never permitted within the house on any account. On one occasion, however, one of his sons and a grandson, who were playing billiards in the billiard-room after evening dinner, partook of the fragrant cigarette, but with closed doors. Mr. Tufnell, who invariably read prayers to his household both morning and evening, entered the dining-room later, when some of the pernicious fumes met him. He refused to read prayers, and ordered the servants out of the room and his family to bed, while the two culprits came in for what he considered their just deserts.
"He was a man with a strong will and liked having his own way. Two years prior to his death he was seriously ill for several weeks, so much so that his death was hourly expected. However, one day, when one of his nurses was returning to his room, she found him walking out of it in his nightdress. She remonstrated with him, but his reply was, 'If I am to die I'll die, but I am going downstairs' and he went, though he had been in his bed for a long while. From that hour he took a new lease of life, and his end did not come till two years afterwards."

General Notes: On 19 Nov. 1827 his wife Elizabeth eloped with the Rev. Humphrey St. Aubyn, one of the many bastards of the Whig dilettante Sir John St. Aubyn, whom she had met during a visit to her mother that summer. While he was reconnoitring the Chelmsford area to plan the elopement, St. Aubyn disguised himself as a Jewish pedlar. The couple were run to ground in London at Jannay's Hotel, Leicester Fields, masquerading as Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, but they later fled to France. On 22 Feb. 1828 Tyrell's crim. con. action in common pleas ended in an award of £1,500 damages, which St. Aubyn, who had to resign his Cornish living, could not pay. Tyrell obtained a definitive sentence of divorce in the London consistory court and had it ratified in 1829 by an unopposed parliamentary bill, which received royal assent on 14 May. Two weeks later his father observed to a county friend that Tyrell was well out of the marriage 'without any attempt to impugn his character' and 'must be very unlucky indeed if ever he meets with such another woman'.
Elizabeth married Sir John Tyssen Tyrell 2nd Bart, son of Sir John Tyrell Bart and Dame Sarah Tyssen, on 19 May 1819. The marriage ended in divorce in 1829. John was born on 21 Dec 1795 and died on 19 Sep 1877, aged 81.

Biography
Tyrell belonged to a junior branch of an old Essex family, whose members included Walter Tirel (fl. 1100), the reputed accidental killer of William Rufus, and Sir Thomas Tyrell (d. 1502), the supposed murderer of the princes in the Tower. The baronetcy conferred on John Tyrell (?1637-73) of East Horndon in 1666 became extinct on the death in 1766 of his great-grandson Sir John, the 5th baronet. This Member was descended from Thomas Tyrell of Buttsbury, a younger brother of the father of the first baronet, John Tyrell (1597-1676) of East Horndon, who was knighted in 1628 and sat for Maldon, 1661-76. Thomas's great-grandson John Tyrell (?1714-86), of Hatfield Peverill and Wakering, was sheriff of Essex, 1770-1. He had acquired the Boreham estate through his first and childless marriage to Sarah, the daughter and heiress of John Higham. With his second wife Anne Master of East Haddingfield he had a son John, the father of this Member. John Tyrell was a stalwart of the Essex Blue or Tory party, received a baronetcy from the Portland ministry in 1809 and served as sheriff, 1827-8. His elder son John Tyssen Tyrell, whose brother Charles (1803-58) entered the church and took the additional name of Jenner in 1828, chaired the anniversary dinner of the Maldon Pitt Club, 18 June 1821. After his marriage in 1819 to a nineteen-year-old Yorkshire woman, a ward in chancery, who brought him £45,00, he lived at Pitt's Place, near Coggeshall; but on the death of his mother in 1825 he and his family of females moved in with his father at Boreham. On 19 Nov. 1827 his wife Elizabeth eloped with the Rev. Humphrey St. Aubyn, one of the many bastards of the Whig dilettante Sir John St. Aubyn, whom she had met during a visit to her mother that summer. While he was reconnoitring the Chelmsford area to plan the elopement, St. Aubyn disguised himself as a Jewish pedlar. The couple were run to ground in London at Jannay's Hotel, Leicester Fields, masquerading as Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, but they later fled to France. On 22 Feb. 1828 Tyrell's crim. con. action in common pleas ended in an award of £1,500 damages, which St. Aubyn, who had to resign his Cornish living, could not pay. Tyrell obtained a definitive sentence of divorce in the London consistory court and had it ratified in 1829 by an unopposed parliamentary bill, which received royal assent on 14 May. Two weeks later his father observed to a county friend that Tyrell was well out of the marriage 'without any attempt to impugn his character' and 'must be very unlucky indeed if ever he meets with such another woman'.
Tyrell started belatedly for Essex at the general election of 1830, seeking to replace the retiring Blue Member. At the nomination he declared his support for the existing constitution in church and state; said that free trade theories could not safely be applied to agriculture; described himself as 'the advocate of economy and retrenchment', who would support repeal of at least half the malt tax; claimed to be 'totally unconnected with any party', and endorsed the 'gradual' abolition of slavery. During a prolonged and bitter contest forced by the independent William Long-Wellesley, who was attacking the Whig-Tory compromise which had divided the county for two generations, Tyrell professed his support for the disfranchisement of corrupt boroughs and the introduction of poor laws to Ireland. He was returned at the head of the poll, with the Whig sitting Member Western in second place. His inclusion by the Wellington ministry in a list of their 'friends' was subsequently queried; and for the Whig opposition Henry Brougham reckoned that he was unlikely 'to vote with government'. Tyrell presented and endorsed an anti-slavery petition from Langham, 5 Nov., and brought up several more from the county in the following five weeks. He was in the majority which brought down the administration on the civil list, 15 Nov. On 23 Dec. 1830 he was in the minority of four for the motion of Quintin Dick, Member for Maldon, for the printing of a petition for repeal of the oath of abjuration. On the Grey ministry's budget, 11 Feb. 1831, he criticized their failure to reduce the malt duty and said that the proposed tax on stock transfers would be 'a very great clog to the monied interest' and 'a blow ... at the national faith'. He rebuked Hume and Whittle Harvey, Member for Colchester and Long-Wellesley's principal supporter, for making remarks hostile to the Church of England, 16 Feb., when he tried unsuccessfully to persuade the chancellor of the exchequer to implement reduction of the candle duty immediately rather than in October. On 7 Mar. he opposed the Grey ministry's reform bill as 'sweeping, oppressive, tyrannical and ... revolutionary', argued that 'what the majority of my constituents mean by a parliamentary reform is a reform of ... taxation' and attacked Harvey for advocating 'republican' government at a recent Essex meeting. When charged by Barrett-Lennard, Whig Member for Maldon, with having paid lip service to reform during his election campaign, 9 Mar., he replied that it was 'a question of degree'. He pleaded by letter his duties as a member of the Petersfield election committee as the reason for his absence from the county reform meeting, 19 Mar., when he was denounced as a turncoat by Long-Wellesley, who claimed to have:
met him in the coffee room of the House ... the evening before last, deep in a rump steak, and a bottle of port deep in him, and he pressed him to attend this meeting, and [said] that if he should be taken into custody for absence from his committee, he would pay his fees, but ... [Tyrell] declined, alleging that he could not leave the committee.
After deploring the 'precipitancy' with which the reform bill was being pressed through, 22 Mar., he voted against its second reading. He welcomed the advance of £50,000 for Irish relief, 30 Mar., but urged ministers to introduce a modified poor law, which would 'at once strike at the root of the evil'. He contended that the Essex reform petition did not represent respectable majority opinion and upbraided Harvey for attacking the church, 13 Apr. They clashed angrily on this, 15 Apr. Tyrell voted for Gascoyne's wrecking amendment to the reform bill, 19 Apr. 1831, and next day presented four Essex petitions for the abolition of slavery. He stood again for the county, with Western and Long-Wellesley, at the ensuing general election, claiming to favour the enfranchisement of 'great commercial places', the extinction of corrupt boroughs and a modest extension of the franchise, but insisting that the reform bill would unbalance the constitution and damage the agricultural interest. At the nomination he accused ministers of preferring 'a paltry political triumph to the passing of a measure which would have satisfied all the various interests of this county' and boasted that he had 'proved himself a more sincere friend to retrenchment and economy than the Whigs who, when they came into office, adopted a Tory civil list'. During the contest he was credited with the observation that:
he was no advocate for the boroughmongers, but if there was in future to be no other channel for getting into the ... Commons than by the popular voice, he thought that a certain number of boroughs should be reserved to be sold publicly by auction - the money to be applied to the exigencies of the state - so as to afford a number of independent Members the means of getting into Parliament, where they might express their unbiased opinions free from the trammels of mobs and democrats.
Tyrell, who apparently received assistance from the Tory opposition's election fund, was soundly beaten into third place by Long-Wellesley.
He succeeded his aged father, whose personalty was sworn under £16,000, in August 1832. At the general election four months later he topped the poll for the Northern division of Essex, where he sat as a Conservative and Protectionist for 25 years. His leader Sir Robert Peel privately regarded him as a 'blockhead', and the whip Fremantle considered him 'insignificant and stupid'; but he had the last laugh by helping to vote Peel out of office after corn law repeal in 1846. He died at the Royal York Hotel, Brighton in September 1877. The baronetcy died with him, while Boreham passed to his grandson, John Lionel Tufnell, the son of his eldest daughter Eliza Isabella.

General Notes: The Rev. John Humphrey St. Aubyn was born in 1790, the natural son of Sir John St. Aubyn (1758–1839) of St. Michael's Mount, Cornwall. His baronet father was a lover of science and the arts. St. Aubyn attended Winchester and Jesus College, Cambridge, earning a B.A. in 1814. Ordained into the Church of England, he served as vicar of Crowan, Cornwall. In 1827, he met Elizabeth Anne, Lady Tyrrell, the wife of Sir John Tyssen Tyrrell, Bt. Together the two eloped to London. Her husband sued St. Aubyn for "criminal conversation" and St. Aubyn was fined £1500. After the divorce, St. Aubyn married Elizabeth and they lived on the continent where the couple had two children. In the 1830s, St. Aubyn wrote two novels under the pseudonym "Lionel Bouverie." He died in 1857 in Fortainebleau.

General Notes: Wolverton was elected to Parliament for Shaftesbury as a Liberal in 1857, a seat he would hold until he succeeded his father in 1873 and entered the House of Lords. In 1868 he was appointed Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury in William Gladstone's first administration, a post he held until 1873, when he was also admitted to the Privy Council. The Liberals lost office in 1874, but when Gladstone returned to power in 1880 Wolverton was appointed Paymaster General. He retained this office until Gladstone resigned in June 1885 and the Conservatives came to power under Lord Salisbury.
The same year the Liberal Party split over the issue of Irish Home Rule. Wolverton supported Gladstone and was rewarded when he was made Postmaster General in February 1886, when Gladstone became Prime Minister for a third time. However, the government fell in July the same year.
In 1876 he bought the manorial estate at Iwerne Minster in Dorset from the Bower family, to which he made many changes and improvements, including the building of a large mansion designed by Alfred Waterhouse. Much of the farmland was turned over to parkland, and he pursued his passion for hunting, maintaining, till 1879, a pack of bloodhounds.
Lord Wolverton married Georgiana Maria Tufnell, daughter of Reverend George Tufnell, in 1848. They had no children. He died suddenly in November 1887, aged 63, and was succeeded in the barony by his nephew, Henry Glyn.
They lived at Warren House in Coombe, Kingston upon Thames. The small country house, now a Grade II listed conference centre, was built in the 1860s for Hugh Hammersley, and then extended 1884-6 by the architect George Devey.

General Notes: Arthur Henry Anson was born in 1817 at Sudbury in Derbyshire. He made his career in the church, into which he followed his father, Frederick Anson via the university of Oxford. The elder Anson rose to become Dean of Chester.
For almost a century, the living of Potter Hanworth had been held in plurality by three successive generations of the Curtois family, all of whom lived at Branston, though a younger member of the family often acted as curate of Potter Hanworth. The last Curtois to hold the livings died on 8th January 1847, and Arthur Anson was instituted to the rectory on 4th May 1847.
In addition to his aristocratic background and family involvement in the church, Arthur Anson had not only considerable wealth, but also connections to royalty. His brother Frederick became a fellow of All Souls Oxford and Canon of Windsor, and followed the older Anson as Rector of Sudbury. His brother George became private secretary to the Prince Consort, making occasional unofficial diplomatic missions on the latters' behalf. As a young, wealthy and energetic man and finding a parish with a poor housing stock, a dilapidated church, no school, no rectory, and no good farmhouses on the glebe lands, Arthur set about dragging the village, kicking and screaming if need be, into the Nineteenth century, along the way providing the missing amenities.
Between 1847 and 1859, Arthur Anson caused to be built in Potter Hanworth:
Further projects for better cottages were in train but never built at the Rev Ansons' early death on November 24th 1859. He was buried just to the east of the North Porch of the Church on the 30th November 1859. His tombstone is still there but his body was re-buried in Croxall in Derbyshire on the 29th of March 1899 in accordance with directions left in his widow's Will.
In 1851, Arthur Anson had married Augusta Theresa Tufnell, and brought his bride back to the new rectory. The former Miss Tufnell was herself very well-connected, her father being both an M.P. and a Privy Councillor, and she had relations by marriage who were ministers in the church. Together they had five children, Anne 1852 , Hugh 1853, Lucy 1855, Alice 1857 and Arthur (born posthumously) 1860.
