He was High Sheriff of Yorkshire 29th and 3.3rd Henry VIII., and was Steward of the Honor of Pontefiaet and of the Manor of Wakefield. At the time of his death he was the owner of SO manors in the county of York. By his marriage with Elizabeth, daughter and co-heiress of Thomas Soothill of Soothill, Esquire, he greatly increased his estate, the Manor of Soothill Upper being part of the property so acquired by him. Edward Savell, whose baptism is here recorded, was the eldest son of this marriage and his father's heir. He was of weak intellect, and died in the year 1604 without issue, having been twice married. Sir Henry Savile had an illegitimate son, Robert, who was the first of the Saviles of Howley Hall, a not verv reputable family, who became extinct in 1671, when How'ley and the accompanjing estates passed to the Earls of Cardigan. Sir Henry Savile took an active part in the suppression of the Pilgrimage of Grace ; and the Constable of Dewsbury and his fellow officials having attempted to assess the people of that place for the purpose of equipping two sol- diers on behalf of the Commons or rebels, Sir Henry Savile, on All Hallows Day, 1536, caused the Constable and his assistants to be brought before him in Dewsbury Church, threatened them, and made them pay the money back under pain of being hanged as traitors. | ||||||
