"Richard Burgh, of Windygates, 1543" is listed in the "Pedigree of Brough of Windyyates" that appears in the book "A History of the Ancient Parish of Leek, in Staffordshire: Including Horton, Cheddleton, and Ipstones", by John Sleigh, 1883, London, England, page 119 (FHL Film # 47699; and 1988 RBFO book, p.67).
On 7 February 2015, Ann Brough Hind of England stated the following to the Brough Family Organization (BFO) in her 2014 research report entitled "A 15th Century Royal Grant of Lands in Staffordshire, Derbyshire & Elsewhere": "Early C16th [16th Century] Court Case records name many young Hotheads from The Leekfryth, including the Brough Houses. Even quotations survive. A Richard Burgh of Wyndygates, armed with a bow and arrows, when advised by Authority to leave and escape trouble 'say'd he could not now go as he was a lyttul busyed'."
"Richard Burgh of Wyndyates" is listed as "living 1547, of age, living 1569" in the RBFO Bethell Reports, page 53.
The Will of Robert Burgh was dated 13 May 1547 and probated on 14 May 1548 (see FHL Film # 95303). Inventory of the will was made on 18 July 1547--meaning that Robert Burgh was deceased by then. The will of Robert Burgh is also mentioned and detailed by David Bethell in his Bethell's Research Reports to the RBFO, page 52-53, 55-56.
A transcription of the Will of "Robert Burgh" is listed in the Research Binders of Ann Brough Hind (Vol.2, p.5), and reads as follows: "In the name of God Amen The 13 day of May in the year of our Lord God 1547 And in the first year of the reign of our Sovereign Lord Edward the sixth by the grace of God of England France and Ireland King Defender of the Faith and in Earth supreme head of the Church of England and also of Ireland; I Robert Burgh of the Parish of Leek sick in body perfect & whole in remembrance make my will in manner and form following.

In the book "A List of Families in the Archdeaconry of Stafford, 1532-3" (FHL book # 942.46, B4sc, Ser.4, V.8), page 30, Robert Burgh's family is listed as: "Robert Burghe, Joan, uxor eius, Joan, Ellen, Elizabeth, Thomas, William, Edward, Joan, Richard." Catharine Ann Brough Hind also refers to this information in her Hind Research Reports, pp.226 and 232, and quotes the will of Robert Burgh, dated 13 May 1547, which lists the names of four of Robert's sons: Edmund, Thomas, William, and Richard Burgh.
On 6 May 2014, the following document--dated 1537--was provided to the BFO by David Bethell of Strines, Leekfrith, Staffordshire, which mentions "Robert Brough" and states the following:
[1537] case in Star Chamber: Earl of Derby v. Brough and others (Reference: StarCh1 84-85: SCP Henry VIII xii f.204.):
"To the Kyng our soveraygne lord. Humbly shewyth Edward, Erle of Derby, that where he is laufully possessed of the offecez of lewetenant kepyng and mayster of the gaume of your forest of Macclysfeeld in your cowntye of Chester, by your gracyouse lettres patentez unto hym thereof made, dyvers evyll disposed persons and common hunters and dystrewrs of your gaume theyr, that ys to say, one Robert Brough of Leyke, co. Stafford, yoman, Wylliam Brough, husbandman, Edmond Brough, husbandman, Henry Brereton and one John Bullok, with dyvers others to the nombre of 20 persons, in the sayd forest ryotoussly assembled the 17th Septembre in the 28th yere [1537] of your raygne, with swerdes and bucklers, bowez and arowez and grey howndes, and theyr hunted and kylled oon deyr called a greyt stagge, contrary to your peas and to dyvers good statutes in such case provyded; for which offence they be lawfully endyted before the Justyces of your seyd cownty; but notwithstandyng they do contynually goo abowte to dystrew your Grace’s gaume in the seyd forest contrary to theyr fayth and alegyaunces. May it therefore pleas your highnes [etc. etc.]."On 12 May 2014, Ann Brough Hind of England stated the following about the information contained in the above 1537 document:
"Robert [Brough was] Robert the Seneschal / Forester (an Office not an axeman) of Ye Chappellhouse, ...[and] Henry Brereton [was] a neighbour, kinsman and very big man of the military; ...Robert [Brough] and Henry Brereton were themselves already in high places. Reflect too that they were kinsmen by descent of Lord Brough of Gainsborough. This is likely to be how they survived the wrath of the Earl of Derby. ...Also, the 1537 date was in keeping with the desecration of the Abbey of Dieulcres which had forests stretching across the Cheshire border. Of interest! 'One deer called a greyt stagge' is an Emperor Stag...head of the herd and Great not just in body height, size and strength...he would have had c twelve antlers...a real trophy. Sounds to me [that] the men of the Fryth were getting him before the "New Cummed" men risen swiftly behind Sir Thomas Cromwell..the desecrator or Abbeys nabbed him for themselves (i.e. New Cummed - newly rise. Also called 'Mushroom sprung'...meaning they were out of sight yesterday, but today they make a big show! The Abbeys were closed on the King's orders and many Brough fought in defence of the Monks and their Good works to the Poor who turned to them in their needs; but Gainsborough himself was provably a close ally of the King during and after the Pilgrimage of Grace, [and] he (and his kin?) escaped arrest or worse."On 7 February 2015, Ann Brough Hind of England stated the following about "Robert Brough" in her 2014 research report to the Brough Family Organization entitled "A 15th Century Royal Grant of Lands in Staffordshire, Derbyshire & Elsewhere":
This Grant [dated 1477] is of particular interest to the Burgh or Brough families of the North Staffordshire Leekfryth, a stiff walk from Shene and a horse ride to Hartington on the North West Derbyshire border. Both these … and some other land in southern Derbyshire; in Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire detailed within it, appear amongst bequests and inventories of three early C16th Burgh/Brough brothers. Sons of Robert Brough of Ye Chappelhowse, Dieulacres. Edmund at Brownsword; William of The Roche Grange who had "land at Shene with a barn on it"; and Thomas of Rushton ,whose will revealed "My stithie at Hartington and Houses in Leicester" … Leicestershire and Nottingham.
Robert Brough of Ye Chappell House, Dieulacres died [in 1547], naming four sons and grandchildren on their properties on the Fryth. [Note: The Will of Robert Burgh, dated 13 May 1547, lists the names of four of Robert's sons: Edmund, Thomas, William, and Richard Burgh.] He left no property in Derbyshire or elsewhere, so seemingly the brothers would have inherited from a Grandfather or Uncle of a generation or two before them. I scoured Brough pedigrees emanating from Gainsborough but found no tradition of Roberts. Edwards predominated in every generation, as at Brownsword especially; although Robert too is also continuous across North Staffordshire, and from the C13th to the C17th Broughs of Whitchurch, as is Ralph.
Robert of Ye Chappelhowse named John Brough "late of Middlehulme" in 1536 without detail of kinship. Later Broughs, their widows "of Middlehulme"; and Robert Broughs of Whitchurch are writ in the 16th & 17th century documents of Brownsword, Roche Grange & Windyates as debtors or creditors; suggestive of some connection … perhaps of trading or of bonds held between them.
Robert Brough of Ye Chappelhowse leaves in the care of his sons a silver heart, a silver cross and the keys to the Chapel Yard. He made sizeable loans to Monks and an Abbott, made homeless by the ruthless destruction of the Abbey by Thomas Cromwell's thugs. Did his holding the keys and silver and close friendship to the Monks mean that he was the last of their Seneschals as well as their Forester?
A Seneschal was a landowning man sufficiently prosperous to leave his own affairs in the hands of others when he was required to represent the Abbott in the outside world; i.e. in Court disputes over land or other worldly matters. As Forester he never wielded and axe. His role was oversight of the wellbeing of every living thing within it and the acres around it. Every tree and leaf growing out of the ground and all birds or animals living within. He oversaw the legal and pursued the illegal hunting of dear, wild boar and game birds. He regulated the entitlements of cottagers and other tenants to the kindling and larger firewood; and the grazing of their cattle and seasonal feasts of Beech mast by their boar within it and its surrounds.
Following the destruction of the Abbey, the people of the Fryth needed a new church, nearer than All Saint's in Leek in which to worship. St Matthew's (or as in an early painting in Stafford C.R.O., St Mary's ?) was built under the auspices of Robert Brough with his sons and other able residents as guardians with responsibility for the building; the life of the Church and meat and provisions to maintain a priest. Robert Brough entrusted the safety of the silver heart to … Rudyard; and we may consider what it may have represented.
...The connections between the Burgh/Brough sons of Robert the Forrester of Dieulacres and the Burghs of Gainsborough and their widespread family cconnections enlightens one's surprise at the unexpected niceties and luxuries named amongst their bequests and inventories listing rings, purses of gold coin, velvet capes and jackets; linen ruff collars and silver buttons … belonging to our forebears in the wild moors and lower grazing lands which once was Oak Forest … a Fryth."Robert Burgh" is mentioned in the book "The History of the County of Stafford, Volume VII: Leek and the Moorlands" (Volume VII of "The Victoria History of the Counties of England" series, 1996), as follows:
Page 134: "In 1340 a chaplain was celebrating daily at the altar of St. Mary in Leek church [of St. Edward of Leek];.... The chapel of St. Mary was mentioned as a burial place in wills of 1545, and the statue of Our Lady mentnioned in 1543, presumably stood there. In 1547 Robert Burgh of Leekfrith left 20d. to Our Lady's service at Leek."
Page 197: "The earl of Chester's forest of Leek was recorded c.1170. It was again mentioned when Earl Ranulph included in his charter to the burgesses of Leek, some time between 1207 and 1215, the right to collect timber and firewood in the forst. The extend of the forest is unknown but it included Leekfrith, and when the earl gave Dieulacres abbey land on Gun and at Wetwood c.1230, he reserved the right to hunt there himself with sparrowhawks. His foresters, however, were not to enter the abbey's land, where hunting was supervised by foresters of the abbey. About the same time Henry, the son of William the forester and perhaps a forester himself, bound himself to serve the abbey for life. The abbey's foresters were again recorded in 1271-2 and 1429, and its former servants in 1538 included Robert Hurgh, described as forester of the forest of Leek."
Page 199: "In 1547 Robert Burgh, probably the former forester of Dieulacres abbey's forest in Leek, left a rent of 13s. 4d. to God's service at Meerbrook. There seems to have been a dought whether the chapel would survive: Robert's son Edmund was to have the rent if the service stopped. The chapel still existed in 1553; chapel goods recorded that year included a silver chalice with a paten, and there was a bell."
Robert does not mention Joan in his will of 13 May 1547, possibly because she is deceased at the time he made his will.
"Edmund Burgh" is listed in the RBFO Research Reports of David Bethell of Staffordshire, England (dated 1 May 1978, p.52-53), as follows: "Brough wills proved at Lichfield...show that there were several, presumably interrelated, strands of the family in the parish [of Leek, Staffordshire] from at least 1500.

Research Note: On January 2002, Catharine Ann Brough Hind wrote the following comment to the RBFO: "To the 1532 Bede Roll: Parts of the fabric of it are decayed; famly names missing alongside lists of Christian names. How fortunate we are that so many Broughs still shew. I ponder how it is that in a family so resolute in its use of patronyms we have no such habit for Reginald and only one grandchild named Reyne...who is however not on [the family group record of Thomas Burgh, born 1480, died 1550]. Is this because he (or she) is not named in Thomas's...will [of] 1550?"
