The manor of EGGINGTON first appears in 1518, in the possession of William Man. The family of Man had for long been associated with Eggington and the John Man who was trustee in a settlement of 1393 was doubtless the ancestor of William. It is difficult to trace the connexion between the various members of the family who held the manor during the 16th and 17th centuries, as they did not enter their pedigree in the Herald's Visitations and the documents relating to Eggington during this period are few. A John Man who was lord of the manor died in 1657, and it was probably his son John who married Mary Elkin widow in 1675 and alienated Eggington before 1710 to John Gardner. By 1722 it was in the possession of Susannah Calfe, whose family was still holding in 1741. It was afterwards held for a short time by Sarah Huxley, but by 1787 John Bond was lord of the manor, which he alienated in 1790 to Thomas Goodwin, and at the beginning of the 19th century the manorial rights were vested in George Goodwin.
