Ingatestone Hall. The seat of the Petre family.
Baron Petre, of Writtle in the County of Essex, is a title in the
Peerage of England. It was created in
1603 for
Sir John Petre. He represented
Essex in parliament and served as
Lord Lieutenant of Essex. Lord Petre was the son of
Sir William Petre, Secretary of State to
Henry VIII,
Mary I,
Edward VI and
Elizabeth I. Sir William acquired
Ingatestone Hall and the surrounding manor from Henry for the full market value after it had been surrendered to the King by
Barking Abbey during the
Suppression of the Monasteries.
The Petre family have been staunchly loyal to
Roman Catholicism. It was the first Baron who publicly acknowledged his Catholicism. At least twelve members of the family have been
Jesuits. The family has also produced two bishops, Francis
(1692-1775) and Benjamin (1672-1758). These two were
coadjutor bishops of, respectively, Bishop Dicconson and
Bishop Challoner.
The first Baron was succeeded by his son, the second Baron. He sat as a
Member of Parliament for Essex. His grandson, the fourth Baron, was one of the accused in the Titus Oates plot and died in the
Tower of London in
1684. His younger brother, the sixth Baron, was Lord Lieutenant of Essex. His great-grandson, the ninth Baron, who succeeded his father the year of his birth, married Anne Howard, daughter of Philip Howard, younger brother of
Edward Howard, 9th Duke of Norfolk. On her uncle's death in
1777 Anne became co-heiress to the baronies of
Howard,
Furnivall,
Strange of Blackmere,
Talbot,
Braose of Gower,
Dacre of Gillesland,
Greystock, Ferrers of Wemme, Giffard of Brimsfield and Verdon.
Their great-great-grandson, the fourteenth Baron, married Etheldreda, daughter of
William Robinson Clark. In
1913 (five years after the death of Lord Petre) the abeyance of the ancient barony of Furnivall was terminated by the King in favour of their daughter Mary Frances Katherine Petre, who became the nineteenth Baroness Furnivall (see the
Baron Furnivall for more information). Petre was succeeded by his younger brother, the fifteenth Baron. As of
2007 the title is held by the latter's great-grandson, who succeeded his father in
1989. Lord Petre is Lord Lieutenant of Essex since
2002.
Another member of the Petre family was
Father Sir Edward Petre, 3rd Baronet, the unpopular
chaplain and advisor to
James II. James made him
Clerk of the Closet and asked the
Pope to make him a bishop and later a
Cardinal but was refused both requests.
The family seats are
Ingatestone Hall,
Ingatestone,
Essex, and Writtle Park,
Essex.
The family surname and the title of the barony is pronounced "Peter".
