From an entry in the Liber Benefactorum, (fol. 116), we learn that J o h n Ferrers, esquire, of S. Albans, had been Seneschal to Henry de Beauchamp, Duke of Warwick, (grandson of Thomas de Beauchamp), who died in 1445.
* This John Ferrers married a daughter of Adrian Brekespere, of Langley, and possessed land in the parish of S. Peter, S. Albans. In 1455 he was appointed by Abbot John Wheathampstead his attorney in a certain law suit. (Regist. I. 207). As Seneschal he doubtless managed the manor of Flamstead for the Duke. We find other members of the family residing in S. Albans or the neighbourhood up to the middle of the sixteenth century.
In 1475, Ralph Ferrers, Doctor of Laws, was appointed Warden of the Hospital of S. Julian, S. Albans—(Regist. II . 120). In 1493, Thomas Ferrers, esquire, was Bailiff of the town of S. Albans: he married a daughter of William Westby, Hundreder of the Liberty, a person of considerable importance. (Lib. Ben. fol. 79).
Another John Ferrers, esquire, was Bailiff of the Liberty some time between 1494 and 1505 : he was admitted to the Fraternity of the Monastery at the petition of John Benestede, Prior of Tynemouth , brother of his wife Katherine, (fol. 117). In 1549 the manor of Flamstead, (which had come to the crown), was granted by Edward VI. to George Ferrers, of Markyate, son of Thomas Ferrers of S. Albans. He was buried in this church, 11th January, 1578. His son, Julius Ferrers, who succeeded to the manor, was also buried here, (30 Dec. 1596).—[see Cussans, vol. II , Hund. of Hertford, p. 143]. The name of Thomas de Beauchamp's Steward, is not to be found in the S. Alban's documents, but it is by no means improbable that he was a Ferrers, obtaining the appointment through the influence of the Countess of Warwick, (Margaret de Ferrers), his kins-woman. Possibly he may be the person who gave the glass in S. Peter's church.
