{D} William clothworker of London bought Rye House in 1559 died 1576. William left nothing to his sons who he described as tipplers and wastrels. He left his estates to his nephew Hugh (b1540) of Pace House

Lancashire Record Office: Kenyon of Peel [DDKE/acc. 7840 HMC/1 - 399]

[not in Lancashire Record Office; DNB entry for“Doctor” Frankland: Frankland, Thomas (1632/3-1690), impostor and antiquary, was born in Lancashire; his parents' names are not known. He matriculated from BrasenoseCollege, Oxford, in June 1649, aged sixteen, and graduated BA in February 1653. He was elected a fellow of Brasenose in 1654 and proceeded MA in 1655. The next year he was incorporated MA at Cambridge, but remained at Brasenose, where he was junior bursar in 1657–8, and in the university was elected senior proctor in 1662 when the sequence of office between colleges broken during the interregnum was restored. He proceeded BD the following year after initially having three graces, preliminary to receiving his degree, refused, and apparently finally being granted it only because he had taken holy orders. He turned his studies to medicine and went on to hold further college posts—senior bursar in 1664–5 and vice-principal in 1667–8. But on 8 March 1668 he resigned his fellowship and shortly afterwards, having renounced holy orders, he went to London to practise medicine. He married and settled in the parish of St Vedast, Foster Lane, where he buried his first wife, Mary, on 19 April 1670. Nine months later, on 31 January 1671, he married Ruth Burcher in the TempleChurch: four of their children were baptized—and two buried—in St Vedast between January 1672 and August 1676.

In London, Frankland claimed to be an MD of Oxford and Cambridge by turns when challenged by graduates of either university. Frankland applied for membership of the College of Physicians, and in December 1671 was admitted as a candidate on the strength of a certificate of his doctorate which he himself had written and sealed. His professional conduct passed scrutiny well enough for him to be elected a fellow of the college on 29 July 1675, and beyond that to become junior censor. The attainment of office proved fatal to Frankland's ambitions. Anthony Wood described him as ‘a proud, haughty man, scornfull and undervaluing’, and his manner towards his juniors in the profession proved so oppressive that a group of them instigated an inquiry in Oxford into the authenticity of his degree (Life and Times, 2.393). Frankland's riposte that he was a graduate of Cambridge was in turn exposed as a technicality, his doctorate there having been granted ad eundem on the strength either of his forged certificate or of mere assertion. Even so his fall from grace was not resounding. The authorities in Oxford merely reported in November 1677 that there was no record of his doctorate, and took no further action; his membership of the college was suspended, but he was not formally expelled until the summer of 1682, by which time he had found other expedients. In the meantime he had been accused of accepting bribes to protect other empirics from the attentions of the college, a delict in which he may not have acted alone. Wood believed that the delay in his ejection was a matter of college politics, which is likely enough. It also reflects some of the perplexities and anomalies in the practice of medicine which persisted for more than another century.

Before his expulsion Frankland had turned to history, and compiled and published The Annals of King James I and King Charles I, which appeared anonymously in 1681. It was a work of substantial industry, and as it consists largely of parliamentary reports and public documents might be regarded as looking forward to the archival publications of the eighteenth century. He seems also to have compiled The honours of the lords spiritual asserted, and their privileges to vote in capital cases in parliament maintained by reason and precedent (1679). Ten years later he received £800 of secret service money, which was a perilous resource for one of his habits, whether or not he had, as Wood reported, also forged a will. By one route or another he came at last to the Fleet prison, and died there in 1690. He was buried in the old vault of the church of St Vedast, Foster Lane, on 14 April, where the clerk who compiled the parish register, at least, continued to recognize him as ‘Doctor in Physicke’ (Littledale, 2.236).

London.--"According as you desired, I give you the accompt, touching the Doctor's reception of Elisha Chew. Yesterday, Dr. Frankland went with myselfe and Mr. William Cayton alongt with the boy to Dr. Cromleholme, who readyly gave the child, and us, a very free and welcome entertaynement; and to be short, he gave us, order to remember his love to the boy's mother, and to lett her know from him that he received her boy as his owne, and that he will (by God's blessing) give him learning and send him to Oxford, and that he doubted not of friends to gett him preferment there. He called upp his wife, and said 'sweetheart you must take this child as myne and yours,' which shee denyed not, but asked her husband who he was like; he would have her judgment first, whereupon she sayd the boy was very like a brother of hers, and he concurred with her in the matter. He was very glad the boy was past the measles and small pockes. After we had drunk a glass or two of ayle about, he layd his hand on the boye's head and blessed him saying 'the Lord God Almighty bless thee, and not only give the wisdom and learning, but his grace alsoe.' Upon which, other company comeinge to him, wee tooke our leave and departed; and to-morrow morning, I am to goe, with the boy, to him, and carry with him, his cloathes. And this is all, save that Mr. Edward Bradhill writt to Dr. Franckland, that one of Mr. Cromleholme's name, was likewise coming upp, by which, Dr. Frankland had thought of some fowle play in the case, and found a little fault with me, that I did not come to him sooner; which I had done, had not his friends desired me to keepe him aweeke and buy him cloathes. But all is well. So is your sonn, Sir Edmond that will be; and he thanks you for your remembrance of him, but I find he expected something more from you, to have told him of a fitt wife for him, and one that needed not much wooing, and yett shee might bee young, beatiful, and rich." Seal of arms.
