  • Text: The family of Powtrell were ancient owners of Hinton St. George, of whom were John and George Powtrell, in the time of Richard I. and King John. Whether the former possessed this estate or not, is not certain; but the latter enjoyed it, and in the time of Henry III. devised it to an only daughter and heir, married to John Giffard, who sometime resided here; but died without issue male, and the lands descended by Alice his daughter and heir to Sir Philip Deneband, of Pescayth in Monmouthshire, knt. Which Sir Philip was father of William Deneband, who 29 Hen. III. gave to his younger brother Hamon a moiety of this manor, which was held of Roger le Bigod Earl of Norfolk and marshal of England. After many successions of this family of Deneband, the manor of Hinton came, by the marriage of Elizabeth daughter and heir of John Deneband with Sir William Paulett, knt. into that ancient family, who were afterwards ennobled with the barony.

    The Paulets, or (as they are now written) Pouletts, had their name from the village of Paulet near Bridgwater, The first that assumed this name was Hercules, Lord of Tournon in Picardy, who came into England with Jeffery Plantagenet Earl of Anjou, third son of Henry II. His son and heir. Sir William de Paulet, had his residence at Leigh-Paulet in Devonshire; and dying in 1242, was succeeded by Sir William of the same place, who died in 1281, leaving issue Sir William Paulet, who died in 1314, and was succeeded by Sir Walter Paulet, who had his dwelling chiefly at Road in this county. This Sir Walter died in 1322, and was succeeded by Sir William Paulet, who was also of Road; and after him came Sir John Paulet, knight, who was of Goathurst in this county. Which Sir John married Elizabeth, daughter and heir of Sir Thomas Reigni, or Reyney, of Rowd in Wiltshite, and Sheerston in this county; the arms of which family, viz. a pair of wings conjoined in lure, were used by his successor Sir John Paulet, 15 Ric. II. This Sir John Paulet, son of Sir John, was one of those who engaged in the expedition under Thomas Plantagenet, Earl of Buckingham, in aid of the Duke of Britanny against the French; and having married Elizabeth, daughter and coheir of Sir John Creedy [1], of Creedy in the county of Devon, had issue two sons. Sir Thomas Paulet, knt. and William Paulet, progenitor of the Pouletts, Dukes of Bolton. Which Sir Thomas Paulet married Margaret, daughter and heir of Henry Boniton [2], and was father of Sir William Paulet, who married the heiress of Deneband. This Sir William left issue one son Sir Amias Paulet, and four daughters.
