Great Staughton and its people by Anthony Withers, Chapter 9

2000 Years of English History.


This book is about the remarkable people from this modest Huntingdonshire village who, over thepast two millennia of England’s history, exercised power and influence both locally and on the national stage. The book gives a detailed biography of each of these characters, setting their lives in the wider context of English history from the time of the Romans to the present day.


An introduction to Chapter 9


For nearly four centuries the Waweton/Wauton/Walton family were lords of the manor of Great Staughton but they also exercised power in the highest courts in the land, although not without some violent clashes with authority. This chapter tells the story of the origins of the family and their influence locally and nationally.
