caption_attribution_description: English: Rudder heraldic badge, chantry chapel monument in Edington Priory Church, Wiltshire, to Sir Ralph Cheyne (c.1337-1400) (alias Cheney), of Brooke, in the parish of Westbury in Wiltshire, thrice a Member of Parliament for Wiltshire and Deputy Justiciar of Ireland in 1373 and Lord Chancellor of Ireland 1383-4. He was Deputy Warden of the Cinque Ports. Cheney's heraldic badge was a rudder, apparently first adopted by his ancestors the Paveley family of Brook. John Aubrey stated concerning his visit to Brook Hall: "Mr Wadman would persuade me that this rudder belonged to the Paveleys who had this place here".[1] Use of the Rudder badge descended to Cheney and then to Robert Willoughby, 1st Baron Willoughby de Broke. Camden stated of Cheney's descendant: "Lord Willoughby, by report Admiral, used the helme of a ship for the seal to his ring". Aubrey asserted that it had been used by "Lord Willoughby de Broke" in the reign of King Edward IIIs. However "there was no such baron until Hen. VII. and no Willoughby, Admiral, appears in Rapin's List".[2] The device of a Rudder in stained glass windows was recorded by John Leland (1503-1552) when he visited Brook. It survives today in Edington Church, and Aubrey noted the presence in a chapel south of the chancel in Westbury Church "in one window some rudders of ships or".[3] Also present in church of "Seend".[4]
context_page_description: Brook in the parish of Heywood, near Westbury in Wiltshire, England, is an historic estate. It was the seat of Robert Willoughby, 1st Baron Willoughby de Broke, KG, an important supporter of King Henry VII, whose title unusually incorporates the name of his seat, in order to differentiate him from his ancestors Barons Willoughby of Eresby, seated at Eresby Manor near Spilsby in Lincolnshire. A medieval wing survives of the mansion house known as Brook Hall, a Grade I listed building situated near the Biss Brook.
context_section_description: The earliest recorded holder is the Paveley family, which held it in the reign of King Henry I (1100–1135). Rogers gives the descent of Brook as follows:
  Reginald de Paveley, lord of the manor of Westbury
  Walter I de Paveley
  Walter II lord of the manor of Westbury in 1255.
  Reginald de Paveley (died 1279)
  Walter de Paveley (died 1323), of Hilperton, Wiltshire, Sheriff of Wiltshire, 1297.  He married (2nd) Alice _____.
  Reginald de Paveley, Knt. (born about 1293, died 1347), of Westbury and Brook (in Westbury), Wiltshire, Sheriff of Wiltshire, 1335–6, younger son.  He married (2nd) by license dated 22 June 1333 Alice Wallis (died 1346), widow of John de Saint John, Knt. (died 1329), 1st Lord Saint John of Lageham. His relative appears to have been Sir Walter Paveley  (1319–1375) Knight of the Garter, of Kent,  a Knight Founder of the Order of the Garter and the son of Sir Walter Paveley (died 1327) of Kent,  by his wife and Maud Burghersh (1304 – c. 1366), daughter and heiress of Sir Stephen Burghersh (died 1310), the elder son of Robert Burghersh (died 1306).
  John de Paveley, who married Agnes de la Mare, but died without male progeny. His two daughters and co-heiresses were as follows:
  Joan de Paveley (1353-d.pre-1400), heiress of Brook, who married Sir Ralph Cheyne (c. 1337 – 1400);
  Alice de Paveley, who married Sir John St Loe (died 1366), MP. St Loe survived his wife and on 20 Nov 1368 (sic), a moiety of the profits of the fair of Westbury (previously granted in  1297 to Walter de Pavilly by King Edward I) was delivered to him to hold by Courtesy of England. He died without male progeny leaving several daughters as co-heiresses, between whom and the Cheneys there were arguments concerning the distribution of the Paveley estates. Cheyne had married Joan Paveley in 1368, after the Paveley estates had been divided between Joan and her sister Alice, and he deemed Joan's share to have been inadequate. He thus obtained the making of a second partition which was more favourable to his wife and by which he gained moieties of the hundred of Westbury and the manor of Brooke, a half-share of the profits of the view of frankpledge and the market and fair at Westbury, the hamlets of Ditteridge and Hawkeridge and £6 of yearly rent from the manor of Westbury.
