Cowbridge History Society Archive 2020 Extract from the Verity Family Outline Record VERITY FAMILY Previously of Rooley Hall, Bowling, Yorkshire and Ash Hall, Glamorganshire Arms: Azure a chevron argent between two crescents in chief d’or and a sun in base of the last. Crest: A crescent as in the arms. Motto: Sans Varier’ Verity (deVerite) is a family from Picardy and Flanders, Lords of Bailleul and Quatreveaux. In 1239 Roger deVerite is recorded as the son of a knight, 1376 Jean de Verite as equerry to King Charles V, 1388 Raoul de Verite, as a reward for services to the Order of St John of Jerusalem especially at Epire, was awarded an estate near Bruges. Members of the deVerite family were in the Norman service of the Henry V. In 1422 Jean de Verite knight was given, at Rouen, the manors confiscated from Richard and William Reviers. There are documents showing the de Verite service to Charles VIII and Louis XII. In 1548 François deVerite, Lord of Bailleul, was invested as a nobleman in the household of the Duke of Guise and took part in a mission of Henry II to England; in 1578 his son Francois acted on behalf of Philippe II in Artois. Documents of 1641 record Jean deVerites’ service to Louis XIII, his daughter Marie married Baron Stanislau Walerand de Hauteclocque, (the deHauteclocque family hold many of the deVerite family records).

Family tradition in England is of Jahan deVerite being taken prisoner at the 1342 naval Battle of l’Ecluse and settling in England (note: Richard de Verite subsidy of Northmerdon 1275 and 1296 Rolls of Worcester). Records show that by the late1500’s a branch of the family was established at Sowerby in Yorkshire. The Verity family were for several generations at Rooley Hall, Bowling, Yorkshire and moved to Glamorganshire in the 1780’s and by the late 1790’s they were settled at Ash Hall, Welsh St Donat’s, Glamorganshire, (previously the property of Sir Thomas and his son Richard Aubrey).

He formed part of Lord Granville’s suite in Paris and also lived in St Petersburg and Rome (see: Marrington Collection, Shropshire Archives; Re Richard Verity and Lord Dover; Royal Society, correspondence from Florence 1840 with Sir John Lubbock (see: Burke’s PB.

Richard was offered a baronetcy, which he later regretted declining as in 1831 he wished to marry but it was a condition that he should first be a baronet, Lady Granville petitioned Lord Grey, (see: Leverson Gower, Letters of Harriet Countess Granville and the’ Three Howard Sisters’, Letters ed. Lady Leaconfield). Close friend of 6th Duke and Duchess of Manchester, this possibly accounts for his acquisition in 1825 of the Dillingham Estate at Dean near Kimbolton (see: Dean Estate and Verity-Dalton Records, Bedfordshire Archives) in 1842 he added a gallery to what is now Dean House to hold his collection of old master paintings including pictures by Van Dyke, the Vallombrosa Raphael, Madonna del Cardellino (given by the Verity family in the 1995 to Downside Abbey) and a St Catherine after Bronzino.
