The Melbury estate has been owned by sixteen generations of the Strangways family, since 1500 when Henry Strangway bought the estate from the Brounings family. In their time the Brounings had probably built a manor house, and had rebuilt the church of St Mary near Melbury Turbeville. Henry Strangway died in 1504 and the estate passed to Sir Giles Strangway (d.1547), an official at the court of Henry VIII. He rebuilt the manor house in the 1530s, and most likely created a formal garden with two hexagonal-shaped banqueting houses (one of which survives). He also created a deer park, as recorded by John Leland in his ‘Itinerary’ of 1534-43 following his visit to Melbury in c1540, and the small settlement of Melbury Turberville was cleared in the process. Lodge Farm, situated in the south-west part of the original deer park may have been built as the Deer Keeper’s Lodge.

The Tudorplace.com link includes no primary or secondary sources. It is itself and unsourced tertiary family tree without any value as a WikiTree source. While it may provide hints... we shouldn't list it as a source for this profile, or defer to any info on that page.

The URL provided also doesn't lead to this particular family group, but rather a century earlier:

This link strictly contradicts the linked parents. Therefore our bio (which is copy-and-pasted from Rootsweb) also contradicts the linked parents.

What's up with that?

This link is both busted and irrelevant:

Please remove it from the sources. It's not a source. It's a GED.
