The Bund (later Willis-Bund, later MacCarthy-Willis-Bund) family of Wick Episcopi owned estates in Worcestershire since the fifteenth century; from this armigerous landed gentry family came (and allied to which through marriage were) several individuals of note in the fields of law, local government and literature.

History

According to the 1925 edition of Burke's Landed Gentry, the earliest mention of the family in current registries is dated 18 January 1559, this being the marriage of Edward Frenche and Jane Bund. At that time the family held the property at Wick that they were still recorded as holding in the twentieth century.[1] The Bund family were however known to have been landowners in the area since at least 1457.[2]

Alongside their property at Wick Episcopi, the Bund family held land at Upper Wick, Laughern Grove (later 'Bunde Grove'; previously part of the manor of Laughern Dabitot, so named for its possession by Sheriff of Worcestershire Urse d'Abetot and his brother Robert Despenser [fl. 1086], Norman allies of William the Conqueror who came from a family resident at St Jean d'Abbetot, Normandy, they having claimed the property of Cyneweard of Laughern, the former Sheriff of Worcester),[3] Boughton (also 'Boulton'; originally part of Wick Episcopi, but only acquired by the Bund family in 1778),[4] White Ladies Aston, south-east of Worcester,[5] and at Fladbury (including a manor house at which the regicide Oliver Cromwell stayed in 1651, on his way to the Battle of Worcester, the final battle of the English Civil War).[6] They also owned farms at Offenham and Sedgeberrow.[7][8] The Bund family is mainly memorialised at the church of St John Baptist in Bedwardine.[4]

The eighth head of the family was Colonel Thomas Henry Bund (1774-1852), of the Worcester Militia and formerly the 13th Light Dragoons, son of Thomas Bund, High Sheriff of Worcestershire in 1784, by his wife Susanna, daughter of Benjamin Johnson, mayor of Worcester and High Sheriff of Worcestershire in 1763;[9] his issue (by his wife Ann, daughter of Rev. Pynson Wilmot, vicar of Halesowen, which family were co-heirs to the Barony of Dudley, and from which the Barons Wilmot, later created Earls of Rochester, also descended)[10][11] failed in the male line on the death of Rev. Thomas Henry Benjamin Bund (1812-1846), M.A., formerly of the Inner Temple and the Oxford Circuit.[12] The heir became Rev. Thomas H. B. Bund's sister Ann Susanna Kent Bund, second wife of the colonial judge John Walpole Willis, he becoming head of the family in jure uxoris. Their son, John, a lawyer and historian, adopted the additional name of Bund in 1864 by Royal Licence; when his male issue died without having children of their own, the position of head of the family fell to his daughter Margaret's son (by her husband John Henry Milward, of the Redditch needle-manufacturing family) Rev. Henry Harding Milward (1896-1950), of Brook Park, Saltash, Cornwall, perpetual curate of Tideford, Cornwall, who adopted the names of Willis-Bund in 1930; on his death without issue, his first cousin (son of his mother's younger sister, Mary, by her husband John Leader MacCarthy, of Goldington, Bedford, civil engineer) Francis Leader MacCarthy (later Chaplain, Dean and Fellow of Balliol College, Oxford) succeeded him, taking the additional names of Willis-Bund the same year.[1]

A descent from Henry III (and, thus, from William the Conqueror) by his wife Eleanor of Provence- via Thomas de Mowbray, 1st Duke of Norfolk, the Berkeley family, and the Wylde family- stemming from the 1695 marriage of Thomas Bund (the fifth head of the family) and Susannah, daughter of Rev. John Vernon, rector of Martley, Worcestershire[1] was presented in The Genealogical Magazine (vol. 2, 1899, p. 257).

Wick Episcopi was subsequently owned by the historian and peace campaigner E. P. Thompson, until his death in 1993; the house "was routinely alive with long- and short-term guests; it was a place for tutorials and seminars, and meetings of all sorts".[13][14]
