CAVE OF STRETTON, BARONET 1641.
[Illustration] A family of great antiquity, which can be traced to
the Conquest; originally of South and North Cave in Yorkshire. In
the fifteenth century they removed into Northamptonshire and
Leicestershire, and were long of Stanford, in the former county. The
elder line of the Caves becoming extinct in 1810, the Baronetcy
devolved on a younger branch, descended in the female line from the
Brownes of Stretton, and from hence their connection with
Derbyshire.
See Nichols's History of Leicestershire, vol. iv. part i. 350, for a
curious account of this family, and for their monuments in Stanford
Church, (the earliest of which is that for John Cave, who died in
1471;) Pedigree at p. 371; Wotton's Baronetage, ii. 164; Lysons,
xviii.
ARMS.--_Azure, fretty argent_. This coat was borne by "Monsire de
Cave;" see the Roll of Arms of the reign of Edward III.
Present Representative, Sir Mylles Cave-Browne-Cave, 11th
Baronet.
COLVILE OF LULLINGTON.
[Illustration] This is an ancient Suffolk and Cambridgeshire family,
and can be traced to the time of Henry I. The Colviles, Barons of
Culross, in Scotland, are descended from a younger brother of the
second progenitor of the family.
The manor of Newton-Colvile, acquired by the marriage of Sir Roger
Colvile of Carleton Colvile in Suffolk, called "_The Rapacious
Knight_," with the heiress of De Marisco, and held under the Bishop
of Ely, continued in the Colviles from a period extending nearly
from the Conquest to the year 1792, when it was sold, and the
representative of this family, Sir Charles Colvile, settled in
Derbyshire in consequence of his marriage with Miss Bonnel of
Duffield. The head of the family was on the Royalist side in the
reign of Charles I., and one of the intended Knights of the Royal
Oak.
See Lysons's Cambridgeshire, 242; Blomefield's Norfolk; and Watson's
History of Wisbeach.
ARMS.--_Azure, a lion rampant or, a label of five points gules_.
This coat, with the lion argent, was borne by Sir Geoffry de
Colville in the reign of Edward II., and without the label by Monsr.
John Colvyle in that of Richard II. (Rolls of Arms of the dates.)
Sir Roger de Colvile bore the present coat with a label of three
points only, in 1240; as appears by his seal to a deed of that date.
Present Representative, Charles R. Colvile, Esq. M.P. for South
Derbyshire.
