**APLEY HOUSE**\\
The lordship of Apley, came into the
possession of the family of Whitmore in the reign of
Queen Elizabeth, by purchase from Sir Thomas Lucy, the
celebrated prosecutor of Shakespeare. William Whitmore,
d 1648), an alderman of London, erected a mansion
house on the property, which is about four and a half
miles north of Bridgton. His eldest son,
William, succeeded him at Apley and was knighted by
James I in 1620. His heir, Thomas, was created Baronet
by Charles I in 1641. \\
In 1645, Apley House was taken by the Parliamentarians, 
under Sir John Price, and Sir William and Sir
Thomas, along with a number of others, were taken
prisoner and held for a considerable length of time. Sir
Thomas Was created a Knight of the Bath at the
coronation of Charles II.
