All estates including Wilton estate were forfeit to the crown following the attainder and execution of Sir John and Lady Bulmer on 25 May 1537 , for high treason under the 1534 Act of Supremacy , arising out of their part in the Pilgrimage of Grace , in protest against King Henry VIII 's break with the Roman Catholic Church . The manor was later restored to their nephew , Sir Ralph de Bulmer ( d. 1558 ) by King Edward VI in 1547
