For Edward Ferrers (1524X7-1564) see also the ODNB:
Edward Ferrers (I524x7—I564), was the only son of Henry Ferrers (d. 1526) and Katherine, the daughter and coheir of Sir John Hampden of Hampden, Buckinghamshire. Edward's grandfather Edward Ferrers (d. 1535) had acquired the manor of Baddesley Clinton, Warwickshire, through marriage to Constance (d. 1551), younger daughter and coheir of Nicholas Brome, and established it as the family seat. Edward succeeded to his grandfather's estate as a child and his wardship was acquired by Elizabeth, the widow of Sir Thomas Englefield and daughter of Sir Robert Throckmorton; he had probably come of age by 1545. The royal marriage of Katherine Parr, a kinswoman to the Throckmortons, led Edward Ferrers into court circles, and he attended the funerals of both Edward VI and Mary as a gentleman pensioner. In 1548 he married Bridget (d. 1582), the daughter of William Windsor, second Baron Windsor; they had six sons and three daughters. Ferrers represented Warwick in Mary's first parliament, but otherwise played little part in public aflairs. The last years of his life were dogged by financial troubles, and by the time of his death his estates were in the control of his brother-in-law Edward, third Baron Windsor.

Edward Ferrers and Bridget Windsor had 6 sons and 3 daughters.

His failure to play any further part in national or Iocal affairs may find its explanation in the financial troubles which by 1561 had forced Ferrers to mortgage his lands. Two years later he and the mortgagees gave his brother-in-law Edward, 3rd Lord Windsor the management of all his property in Warwickshire, five other counties and London for a period of 12 years, and it was at Windsor's own house at Tardebigge in Worcestershire that Ferrers died on 10 or 11 Aug. 1564: he appears to have made no will.

[Edward Ferrers-Ferris (b.1524-27-d.1564) mentioned below as 1548 grantee from Sir John Hampden was the son of Henry Ferrers (d.1526) and Katherine Hampden. Edward's grandfather was Edward Ferrers (d.1535) who had acquired Baddesley-Clinton through marriage to Constance Brome). His son Henry Ferrers 1549-1633. I believe, was the antiquary.)]

MANOR.
Godric held FISHERTON in the time of King Edward, and by 1086 it had passed to Hugh of Avranches, Earl of Chester. Under Hugh it was then held by Hamon de Masci. (fn. 135) Both tenant-in-demesne and overlord appear to have forfeited their interests in it in consequence of their revolt against Henry II in 1173.
...
In 1548 Sir John Hampden conveyed the manor to Edward Ferrers or Ferris. (fn. 164) In 1589 Henry, Edward's son, sold it to John Quarles, citizen and draper of London, (fn. 165) who in 1608 sold it to Judith, relict of another John Quarles of London, the vendor's brother. (fn. 166) In 1627 Judith sold it to George Lowe, of London. In 1639 Lowe entailed it on his son George with remainders to his nephews John and Richard Lowe in fee.

There was a mill, worth 10s., in 1086. (fn. 234) A mill is next mentioned in 1273 when Maud, relict of Robert Walrand, claimed her dower in it against Alan Plogenet. It was then worth 30d. (fn. 235) This can hardly be the same mill as that of which Henry son of Aucher died seised in 1303, for his was annexed to Fisherton manor and was valued at £4. (fn. 236) It is no doubt this second building, described as two mills, that in 1589 was conveyed with the manor by Henry Ferrers to John Quarles. (fn. 237) It seems to have descended with the manor until 1653 when the mills, then called three grist mills, with adjacent lands, were conveyed by Richard Lowe to Matthew Raymond.
...
CHURCHES.
The rectory of Fisherton is first mentioned in 1319, when Aucher son of Henry presented to it. (fn. 293) The survival, however, of a Norman font, (fn. 294) if nothing else, raises the presumption that the church (St. Clement's) (fn. 295) was established long before. From 1319 the advowson appears to have descended with the lordship of the manor until 1650. (fn. 296) The lords, however, did not always exercise their rights in person. Stephen Popham's feoffees presented in 1444, 1446, 1453, and 1456. In 1490 Sir Roger Tocotes presented by grant of Margaret Hampden, in 1548 Thomas Hughes, executor of Dr. John Hughes, by grant of Sir John Hampden, and in 1575 Hugh Powell by grant of Edward Ferrers. In 1520, for unspecified reasons, the bishop was presenting. (fn. 297)
