    From - The History of an Essex Village - Cricksea in the Hundred of Dengie by Rev.Donald A. Rooke B.A.

    Sir Cranmer Herrys was knighted by Charles I a Greenwich on the 21st June 1629. He succeeded to the Cricksea estate on his father's death in 1631. His name was included in a list of malignants, who had failed to contribute towards the public charge of the kingdom. It was presented to the House of Commons on 15th May 1643. On 17th September, 1660, he and other Essex gentry petitioned General Monk, in an address, indicating that they had adhered to Charles II, and had suffered imprisonment or sequestration during the Commonwealth. He married Martha Holford, who predeceased him, and had two daughters, Martha and Mary. He was buried at Woodham Mortimer on the 21st, his funeral expences amounting to 44.17s.6d. After his death James and Mary Herrys, his other daughter, successfully petitioned in the Court of Arches for a fresh grant of Letters of Administration to the two daughters jointly. Apparently he had lived at his house at Woodham Mortimer, with Charles Mildmay and his daughter Ann, and had given up housekeeping on his own account. Thus it is not surprising that the various parties concerned resorted to litigation in the Court of Chancery in 1675. Whatever the result, the Cricksea estate appears to have passed to the Mildmay family, in whose possession it remained until 1901.
