Sir Walter Stonor (died 1551) was the son of Thomas Stoner of
North Stoke, Oxfordshire and Sybilla, the daughter of Sir David Brecknock. He was a
Knight of the Body and appointed
Lieutenant of the Tower of London on 29 September 1546. He had at least three probable brothers, John, Edmund and Robert. He was
knighted by
Thomas Howard , then
Earl of Surrey , after the
Battle of Flodden in 1513. He died in 1551 with no male heir.
Marriage and issue
Stonor first married Anne, the daughter of John Foliot of
Worcestershire and Eleanor Moore, and had his first son and a daughter by her:
John Stoner died without issue.
Elizabeth Stonor (born c. 1500) married firstly, Sir
William Compton , secondly Walter Walshe and finally, before 1540, Sir
Philip Hoby .
[9]
Second, he married
Elizabeth by 1533, the daughter of
Geoffrey Chamber of Stanmore,
Middlesex . After her husband's death, she married successively, Reginald Conyers (d. 1560),
Edward Griffin (d. 1569) and
Oliver St John, 1st Baron St John of Bletso .
He corresponded with his daughter, Elizabeth, for several decades after her marriages to Sir William Compton, Sir Walter Walshe and Sir Philip Hoby, and unusually for the period these letters have survived, giving an indication of their relationship over the years.
