One of the Marshal manors, it was one of those which passed directly to John (II) de Segrave on Brotherton's death in 1338: below, BCM/D/7/1/1 [GC 2929]. It was settled on Richard III by William de Berkeley in 1484 and was recovered from Henry VII by Maurice Lord Berkeley by Act of Parliament in 1503. Maurice sold it in the following year to Westminster Abbey as part of the endowment for Henry VII's chantry, and it was then valued at 100 marks a year. [B. Harvey, Westminster Abbey and its Estates in the Middle Ages (Oxford, 1977), 201-2, 426.]
