According to http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=18212

William Cantrell and William Dix were both granted lands in Sussex that had been stripped from Thomas Howard, 4th Duke Of Norfolk (new creation) in 1572.

Perhaps this Cantrell is the son of R2nd's Cantrell.

Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk was beheaded in 1572 for conspiring to overthrow Queen Elizabeth I and replace her with Mary Queen of Scots (thereby restoring Catholicism as the official religion on England).

Howard appointed William Cantrell as trustee of his properties in an attempt to protect them from the Queen -- whom he obviously feared might seize them after his act of treason.
