NEW DATA FRENSHAM MANOR BEALE---
My first visited to Frensham Manor Beale in Frensham, Surrey, England was 6/14/02.
I visited there because research indicated that Quaker George Beale had owned
part of Frensham Manor Beale ca 1700, and had also bought 3,000 acres of land
in Bucks County, PA (see details George Beale findings as of Feb 13, 2003 in
Scenario 3- ENGLAND TO PENNSYLVANIA, under P--VARIOUS SCENARIOS).

NEW FINDINGS---
My researcher in England discovered Frensham Manor Beale was owned by Robert
Beale (1541-1601) of
Mary Queen of Scots fame (see "New find 12/1/12"). Research indicates
the Manor House shown above possibly may have been built by Robert Beale ca
1570. (pd17, pd18, 10)
The manor of Frensham Beale was a possession of the le Bel, Bele or Beale family, originally held of the manor of Farnham, and covering a large area from Binsted, Hants, to Elstead and Thursley (VCH Vol II, p.609). It was held by the Beale family until the end of the 16th century. (16)
First Manor owner was Knight Templar James
le Bel
Frensham Beale was first bought by James le Bel in 1241. (27)
James Le Bel de Fermesham (during time of Henry III 1207-1272) left a wax seal--see
my 10/14/12 find.

My grandfather and great-grandfather Beale in their Beale family research thought they were descended from Robert Beale (1561-1601). Grandmother made a needlepoint showing Beale family coat of arms that included Templar crosses.
