[Illustration] A family of great antiquity, descended from Henry de
Boneberi, in the time of Stephen, a younger brother of the House of
St. Pierre in Normandy. William de Boneberi, son of Henry, was Lord
of Boneberi in the reign of Richard I. But the direct ancestor was
David brother of Henry, whose great-grandson Alexander de Bunbury
was living in the fifteenth of Henry III. Stanney, still the
inheritance, but not the residence, of the Bunburys, came from the
heiress of the same name in the seventeenth of Edward III.
