William More of Loseley and early Elizabethan anti-Catholicism

DENNIS FLYNN

Sir William More of Loseley gained access to the Elizabethan court through his adroit use of Tudor political structures and especially through his administration of Elizabethan policy directed against Catholicism in Surrey. Associated with Sir Thomas Cawarden in the reigns of Henry VIII, Edward VI, and Mary I, More's personal fortune was greatly augmented by his acquisition of expropriated church land and by his eventual inheritance of Cawarden's property in Blackfriars. More then built Loseley House, which became the nexus and symbol of the family's influence and activities on the national political scene. The wedding of his daughter Elizabeth at Blackfriars was the ceremonial beginning of the family's entry into the ambit of the court. It was followed within two years by the first of several visits by the queen on progress to the newly completed Loseley, an event that inaugurated the period of More's most active support of anti-Catholic policy. He took key roles in Surrey supporting the government's suppression of the 1569-70 Rising in the North and was subsequently instrumental in dealing with the remnants of Catholic political and social eminence in the county. Examples are More's activities in the cases of Thomas Copley of Gatton and Henry Wriothesley, 2nd Earl of Southampton.
