The following is a post to SGM, 3 Jun 2011, by John Watson (Note: The nearly non-
existent village of Brompton lies 2-3 miles north of Northallerton, Yorks. At one time it 
had a Manor of West Brompton and an East (or Est) Brompton. Hornby is within 5 miles 
of it.)

Hi all, 

On Chris Philips' excellent website, new abstracts of fines for Yorkshire have recently 
been added. One fine from 1378, concerning the 
manor of Patrick Brompton seems to overturn the accepted pedigree of the family of 
St. Quintin of Hornby, Yorkshire, ancestors of the 
Conyers of Hornby.

County: Yorkshire. 
Place: Westminster. 
Date: Two weeks from Easter, 1 Richard [II] [2 May 1378]. 
Parties: John, son of Thomas de Sc'o Quyntino of Horneby, knight, and Elizabeth, his 
wife, querents, and Thomas de Sc'o Quyntino of Horneby, knight, and Margaret, his 
wife, deforciants.
Property: The manor of Estbrompton'.
Action: Plea of covenant.
Agreement: Thomas and Margaret have granted to John and Elizabeth the manor and 
have rendered it to them in the same court, to hold to John and Elizabeth and the 
heirs of the body of John, of Thomas and Margaret and the heirs of Thomas for ever, 
rendering yearly a rose at the Nativity of St John the Baptist for all service, and doing 
to the chief lords all other services. In default of such heirs, the manor shall revert to 
Thomas and Margaret and the heirs of Thomas, quit of the other heirs of John, to hold 
of the chief lords for ever.
Warranty: Warranty. 
For this: John and Elizabeth have given them 100 marks of silver. 
Feet of Fines: CP 25/1/277/140, number 7.

VCH North Riding states: Thomas de Hornby was the chief tenant here in 1316 and 
Robert de Hornby in 1327. Four years later mills and 
tenements in Hornby were settled on Robert and his wife Christina and their issue, 
with contingent remainder to Thomas St. Quintin and his heirs. In 1332 Christina, 
widow of Robert, and Thomas St. Quintin were holding jointly. At her death the manor 
came into the sole possession of the family of St. Quintin, a younger branch of the St. 
Quintins of Harpham. Thomas was succeeded by his nephew William, who had a son 
and heir John. Anthony son of John died at the end of the 14th century, and left a 
daughter and heir Margaret, whose wardship and marriage belonged to Richard Lord 
Scrope. He married Margaret St. Quintin to John Conyers, 'a servant of his own,' who 
became the ancestor of the Conyers of Hornby. 
'Parishes: Hornby', A History of the County of York North Riding: Volume 1 (1914), pp. 
313-320

There is no sign in the 1378 fine of William, nephew of Sir Thomas de St. Quintin or 
his son John, or his grandson Anthony, all of whom do not seem to appear in any 
contemporary records. Instead, the pedigree of the St. Quintin of Hornby family would 
appear to be:

Sir Thomas de St. Quintin = Margaret de Hornby
I 
John de St. Quintin = Elizabeth (de Swinhoe?)
I 
Margaret de St. Quintin = John Conyers

Regards,

John

The following shows that Thomas built a tower at Hornby, expanded into a large castle 
by the Conyers:

Hornby Castle, Yorkshire was a fourteenth and fifteenth-century courtyard castle on 
edge of Wensleydale between Bedale and Leyburn. It was largely rebuilt in the 
fifteenth century by William Conyers, 1st Baron Conyers after the Conyers family had 
inherited it, but retained the fourteenth-century St. Quintins tower (demolished in 
1927) named after the medieval family which had originally owned the building.
