Adopted his sister's son, Sir William Newport, who assumed the name of Hatton, to succeed him.

He was it is said - a private gentleman of the Inns of Court - a graceful dancer - just and discreet - humble - wise.

It is also said he died of a broken heart in consequence of his royal mistress having demanded the payment of an old debt.....

In 1583 Hatton built Holdenby Palace, the largest house in Elizabethan England, with 123 huge glass windows specifically to honour his beloved Elizabeth.

After the reformation, Elizabeth forced the bishops of Ely to rent some of their land to Sir Christopher. The palace grounds and thoroughfare ( Ely Place) were duly granted to Sir Christopher. The annual rent for the gatehouse was a red rose and ten stacks of hay plus Ł10 for the grounds including an orchard. The name of the garden there was changed to Hatton Garden and is now London's centre of the jewellery trade.

Illigitimate daughter - Elizabeth

Sir Christopher Hatton was the principle sponsor of Sir Francis Drak'e first voyage around the world.
The ship's originally called " The Pelican" and re-named the "Golden Hind" before returning to Plymouth from the voyage.
The Ship's name stems from the Old English word meaning female Deer and the emblem was featured
on the Hatton Family Coat of Arms

Corfe Castle - Sir Christopher Hatton

Corfe Castle was a royal castle from the time of William I until it was sold by Queen Elizabeth I to Sir Christopher Hatton, later Lord Chancellor, for Ł4,761. 18s. 7 1/2d.

A sixteenth century account of Corfe Castle describes it as: A very fayre castell with a gatehouse, with fayre rooms etc., inclosed with a great stone wall, with ground containing about six acres for gardens and walks. Today only the ruins of the castle survive and the splendour of the rooms can only be glimpsed from written descriptions of earlier centuries. Corfe Castle is a magnificent ruin being a building of great quality and distinction which stands out among its rubble of masonry. Expenditure on the castle especially during the reigns of John and Henry III show what importance was attached to it and it must always have been in the forefront of architectural style.

Sir Christopher's steward, Ralph Treswell prepared detailed plans of the castle in 1586. The Castle successfully withstood the siege of 1643 but was captured by treachery after a second siege in 1646, and was then 'slighted' and deliberately demolished by the Parliamentary forces. During Corfe's long history it has seen within its walls; assassination, being a burial place of a martyr King, prisoners, a stronghold for the military, a residence. The Castle has undergone many alterations and it is thought the Tudor evidence in the form of re-modelled windows and doors in the Keep are attributed to Sir Christopher Hatton. Corfe Castle is now owned by The National Trust and their booklet gives quite a comprehensive history of it.

On the death of Sir Christopher Hatton in 1592 the castle and estate passed to his nephew and heir Sir William Hatton, who gave the castle to his wife, the Lady Elizabeth Cecil, who later became the 2nd wife of the Lord Chief Justice Coke, who in turn sold the estate in 1635 to the Lord Chief Justice, Sir John Bankes.

In March 1646 a vote was passed by the Commons for its demolition and this task was undertaken by Captain Hughes of Lulworth.
