in the Timperley family; and so continued until King Charles the Second's reign,
if not later.
The hall and manor of Hintlesham, was purchased of the Timperleys, by Richard
Powis, Esq., M.P. for Orford, in 1734; he sold it to Sir Richard Lloyd, one of

This family descended from Thomas Timperley, of Bowden, in Cheshire, Esq.; whose

and inherited this estate in her right. They had issue, John, who married, and
left an only daughter and heiress, Elizabeth, wife of Firmin Rookwood, of
Weston, in Norfolk.

his uncle, gave by will, in 1609, the lordships of Colkirk and Gately, in
Norfolk, to his brother, Thomas Hare, for life; and then to this Nicholas
Timperley, Esq., his nephew; whose son, Sir Thomas, inherited the same.
