- SIR WILLIAM MALLORY of Studley and Hutton, heir to his brother Christopher. During the Rising of the North in 1569 he took the side of the Crown, giving news and advice to the Earl of Sussex. In the following year he was appointed High Steward of Ripon, an office which he seems to have held during the rest of his life. (Calendar of State Papers, Elizth.) In 1585 Sir William was M.P. for Yorkshire. He was High Sheriff of the county in 1592, and was exceedingly zealous in the repression of Popery. (Troubles of our Catholic Forefathers, 3rd series, pp. 46, 69, 83, 92). In 1575 the Commissioners at York for Ecclesiastical Causes requested him and Mr. Ralph Tunstall “to pull downe the gilden tabernacle at Rippon, breaste lowe, and the same to be employed to the repairing of the chauncell.” In Nov. 1577, he, with Mr. Wandesford and Mr. Lister, was directed to see that the churchwardens of Ripon did their duty. The Reformation had made scant progress in the Ripon district, and Sir William was very keen in advancing it. He was an exceedingly active and able person. He married Ursula daughter of George Gale, esq., of York, master of the Mint there, and sometime Lord Mayor of that city. By will, dated 1556, George Gale gave to his daughter and her husband the 20l. which he had lent to Chr. Mallory, Sir William’s brother. In the following year Dame Mary Gale bequeathed to her daughter Mallory her ”flowre of golde wythe the stone in yt, and wythe a lytle chyne of golde.” (York Registry). The issue from this marriage was a very numerous one.
1. John Mallory, the eldest son.
2. William. This is, I believe, Sir William Mallory of Bishop Auckland, knt., whose effects Philip Mallory of Norton, clerk, administered to on 26th Oct. 1643. (Durham Registry). He was a captain in the army, and was knighted by Charles I. on Feb. 1st, 1642-3. At the time of his decease he was clerk of the County Courts at Durham under Bishop Morton.
Christopher, who was buried in Ripon Minster on July 2nd, 1598. He came to an untimely end. According to a letter from Queen Elizabeth, preserved among the Johnstone MSS. at Campsall, it appears that young Mallory had been in attendance upon his father in Ireland, and that, as he was returning home, he was murdered, whilst riding on the highway, by Michael Cubbedge, servant to Sir Edward York, and a person of the name of Johnson, who were indicted. (Catalogue of Hist. MSS., vi., 450).
George, who was married at Ripon, Oct. 19th, 1603, to Frances Dawson. He lived at Hollin Close, and was interred in the minster on July 7th, 1615.
8 June, 1615. George Mallorie of Holling close, nere Rippon, esquier. To be buried in the collegiate church of Rippon, neere the place on the south side where my ancestors have bene usually buried. To Frances my wife my right in the mannor of Raynton, and my tythes of Raynton, Ascenby, alias Azenbie, and Newby, in as ample manner as Sr William Mallorie, knt., my late father had them; nevertheless my will is that if my loving nephie William Mallorie esq., shall secure to the said Frances or her exrs the sum of 78l. 2s. 4d. yearly, he shall have them. I give 6l. 13s. 4d. to be lent from yeare to yeare for ever to some twoe poore tradesmen of Rippon on securitie, and after as my wief during her liefe, with the consent of the deane of the prebendarie residensarie together with the consent of the overseers for the poore shall lyke of. The residue to my wiefe, in token of my unfeyned love to her. She exr and my trustie and well-beloved brother John Ledgeard, esquire, supervisor. Witnesses: William Mallorie, George Dawson, Chr. Lyndall, Thos. Smith. Pr. 5 Oct., 1615, adm. to ex. (Reg. Test. Ebor., xxxiii., 675).
June 2nd, 1629. Adm. of Frances Mallorie, alias Dawson, of Warsell, to George Dawson of Warsell, gent. ‘Fraunces Mallorie vid’, gen’, of Warsell, bur.–1629.’ (Ripon).
Thomas Mallory, B.D., of Cambridge, was instituted on 27th June, 1599, to the important living of Romaldkirk in the North Riding of Yorkshire. He also held the livings of Mobberley and Davenham in Cheshire; was instituted Archdeacon of Richmond, Nov. 6th, 1603; and, on the 25th of July, 1607, was presented to the Deanery of Chester. By Elizabeth his wife, daughter of Richard Vaughan, bishop of Chester, he had a numerous family, and some of his descendants may still be traced in Cheshire. He died at Chester, April 3rd, 1644, and was interred in the choir of his cathedral, where he sleeps without a memorial.
Robert Mallory, about whom we know nothing save the information which is contained in the following letter (Lansdown MS., 77), which shews that all Sir William’s care could not prevent one, at least, of his children from deserting his faith.
My verye good L., as I haive always founde your honorable favors towards me, whiche makes me boulde att this tyme, to imparte onto your Lop. a cause that greves me very muche; wch is this, my good Lo., one of my sonnes called Roberte Mallorye, whome I did seeke to plaice in Lincolne’s Inne, whear he haythe contenewede a studente, since Mychelmasse last was tow years.

- Sir William Mallorie, Knt., occurs as the Archbishop of York’s High Steward for the Liberty of Ripon in 1598. He died in 1602. “Dominus Will’mus Mallorie de Hutton-hall, miles, sepultus fuit 22d die March ij. 1602.” Ripon Par. Reg.
The family of Mallory became possessed of Hutton Conyers by the marriage of Sir Christopher Mallory with Joan, the daughter and heiress of Robert Conyers, of that place. Sir Christopher had issue Sir William Mallory, of Hutton, who, by Katherine, daughter and co-heiress of Ralph Nunwick, of Nunwick, had William Mallory, who, by Joan, daughter of Sir William Plumpton, of Plumpton, near Knaresborough, had William Mallory, who married Dionisia Tempest, of Studley. After the family had acquired Studley, it does not appear that they abandoned the manor house of Hutton as a place of residence, but frequented it occasionally until the end of the sixteenth century; about which time the present building, now used as a farm house, seems to have been erected. A picturesque gable on the north side, and a richly ornamented ceiling bearing the lion of the Mallory’s arms, in a neglected apartment, in the southeast wing, remain of this date. Large portions of the rest of the building have been altered in subsequent repairs, and seem to confirm the tradition that the house was set upon in the civil wars, by a troop of parliamentarians, in the absence of the owner, Sir John Mallory, who, from his zeal in the royal cause, must have been particularly obnoxious to them. Several cannon balls and some weapons of war have also been found in the fields around. There are also some remains of a rampart of earth, running at right angles, on the north and west sides of the garden, which may have formed part of the agger of most of the original structure. The mansion is shaded by a goodly row of sycamores, which give it a pleasing air of solemnity, and seem still to assert its claims to a rank above that of an ordinary farm hold.–Walbran’s Lords of Studley.
