- William Mallory had, by the heiress of Tempest, seven sons- John, William, Thomas, Christopher, George, Richard, and Henry.....
Of these children I have been able to gather the following notices. On Jan. 15th, 1485-6, there is a licence for Chr. Mallory and Isabel Malthouse, of Ripon, to be married in the chapel of the Blessed Virgin there, without asking of banns. (Test. Ebor. iii. 350).

- WILLIAM MALLORY, ESQ., who thus became lord of Studley, jure uxoris, was the representative of an ancient well-allied family. They became possessed of Hutton Conyers, Yorkshire by the marriage of Sir Christopher Mallory (son of Thomas and a daughter of Lord Zouch) with Joan, daughter and heiress of Robert Conyers, of that place, whose ancestor, Robert Conyers β the representative of the elder branch of Conyers, of Sackburn β possessed it in 1246, as appears by his grant of land there to the church of St. Peter, at York, in that year.
Sir Christopher Mallory had issue Sir William, of Hutton, who by his wife Katherine, daughter and co-heiress of Ralph Nunwick, of Nunwick, had William Mallory, who by his marriage with Joan, daughter of Sir William Plumpton, of Plumpton, near Knaresborough, had William Mallory, before mentioned, who married Dionisia Tempest, of Studley.
After the family had acquired Studley, it does not appear that they abandoned the manor house at Hutton, 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 richly ornamented ceiling (the lion of the Mallory arms is displayed in the compartments) 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 indeed have been particularly obnoxious to them. Several cannon balls and some weapons of war have 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 have may have formed part of the agger of the moat to the original structure. The mansion is shaded by a goodly show of great sycamores, which give it a pleasing air of solemnity, and seem still to assert its claim to a rank above that of an ordinary farm house.
On Oct. 25, 1458, Archbishop Booth granted an oratory for three years to William Mallory, esq., Dionisia, his wife, and their children (Reg. 204 a) which privilege was renewed to them for the same period on Nov. 17, 1467 (Reg. 57 a.) This was the beginning of the Chapel of the Blessed Virgin at Studley.
The will of Mr. Mallory is preserved at York.
