FERRERS, MARMION-EDWARD, Esq. of Baddesley Clinton, co. Warwick, b. 13 Oct. 1813; inherited the estates and representation of this the only remaining Male branch of the once potent name of Ferrers, upon the demise of his father, 10 Aug. 1830.
Lineage.
This ancient Family, than which few can claim a higher or more illustrious descent, derives from Walchelin, a Norman, whose son, HENRY FERRERs, assumed the name from Ferriers, a small town of Gastinois, in France, otherwise called Ferrieres, from the iron mines with which that country abounded, and in allusion to the circumstance, he bore for his arms “six horses' shoes,” either from the similitude of his cognomen to the French Ferrier, or because the seigneurie produced iron, so essential to the soldier and cavalier in those rude times, when war was esteemed the chief business of life, and the adroit management of the steed, even amongst the nobility, the first of accomplishments. Henry de Ferrers came into England with the CONQUEROR, and obtained a grant of Tutbury Castle, co. Stafford. By Bertha, his wife, he had a son
and heir,
ROBERT DE FERRERs, who having contributed, at the head of the Derbyshire men, to King STEPHEN's victory over DAVID of Scotland, at Northallerton, was created by that monarch EARL of DERBY. He was grandfather of, WILLIAM DE FERRERs, III. Earl of Derby, living 12 HEN. II., who m. Margaret, dau, and heir of William Peverell, Lord of Nottingham, and had issue...

After the death of Henry Ferrers, the fortunes of the Ferrers family fluctuated through periods of heavy taxation such as during the Civil War and in the early eighteenth century, followed by attempts by some generations to maintain and improve the property in better times. The last Ferrers in the direct male line, Marmion Edward Ferrers (1813-1884), was so poor that Lady Chatterton, the aunt of his wife Rebecca, and her husband, Edward Heneage Deering, had to come and live with him to share the expense. These two were only married because of a misunderstanding. It is said that Deering came to Lady Chatterly to ask permission to pay address to her niece, but she thought it was a proposal to her, and accepted. Deering, although she was old enough to be his mother, was too chivalrous to set the story straight!
The estate passed down through Marmion Edward Ferrer's nephew through several relatives, and it was Mr. Thomas Ferrers-Walker who eventually sold the house to the Government, after which it became part of the National Trust. The Ferrers Archive is kept at the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust in Stratford-upon-Avon.

Prior to the Reformation the Catholics of Baddesley Clinton worshipped in the medieval parish church of St Michael, close to Baddesley Clinton House, which had been owned since 1517 by the Ferrers Family. The Ferrers remained loyal to the Catholic Faith and Mass was offered in their domestic chapel. The quiet but dogged resistance of the Ferrers and other local magnates helps to explain the survival of Catholicism in this part of the Forest of Arden. Henry Ferrers (1549-1633) was imprisoned, probably by force of fines under the recusancy laws, in 1599, and it is known that for a time ‘Sir William, the priest at Badsley’ was resident in the house.
The 1860s found the small chapel falling into decay. The few parishioners were so poor that little could be done. However, in 1857 Agnes Mary Clifford, daughter of the Hon. Charles Clifford (brother of Hugh Charles, 7th baron Clifford of Chudleigh, co. Devon), had been professed in the Poor Clare Community and brought a considerable dowry. Thanks to this, and the generosity of her parents (who are buried before the sanctuary of the present church), new conventual buildings were erected, together with a new church, presbytery and a school (closed in 1990). The old chapel, standing on the site of the present Sisters’ choir, was demolished, and a church, designed by Benjamin Bucknall of Swansea, was built by J. Hall of Warwick. It was dedicated to St Francis of Assisi and opened on his feast day, 4th October, 1870. It was consecrated on 5th September 1894. The connection with the Ferrers family remained strong throughout these years. Marmion Edward Ferrers (1813-1884) gave or leased the land on which the convent was built, and his wife, Rebecca Dulcibella Orpen, adorned the sanctuary with paintings and executed the Stations of the Cross in the body of the church. Members of the family were buried by the side of the church.
In 1963 a side-chapel was added to enable the Sisters to see Mass being celebrated (hitherto they had attended in their choir and only heard Mass being offered) and the sanctuary was altered in 1970. The cemetery is still in use.
