BORDESLEY, (Warwickshire) originally a member of Aston, and the estate of the ancient family of the Paganets; from whom it
descended to the Someries, Barons of Dudley, who had a court-leet here, to which the adjoining hamlets paid rents and
service. It afterwards came, by marriage, to Sir Hugh Burnel; and from his family to the Lady Abergavenny, who gave it to
her son, by her last husband, James, E. of Ormond, who being attainted in the R.of Edw. IV. it fell to that K. He gave it
to Sir Thomas Erdington; but Sir Thomas Ormond by fine recovered the inheritance of it, and left it to his heiress Ann,
married to Sir James St. Leger, whose grandson sold it, in the R. of Q. Eliz. to Ed. Arden, Esq; of Park-Hall, whose
posterity enjoyed it in 1640.
