The nucleus of LANTHONY MANOR is to be found in the 3⅓ virgates of land which Nigel de Albini owned in Arlesey at the time of the Domesday Survey, and which were held of him by a certain Erfast. The next mention is to be found in a charter of King John to the prior of Lanthony in Gloucestershire, which confirms the gift of Nigel son of Hordfast (the Erfast of the survey) made with the permission of his overlords Henry de Albini and Robert his son. This manor remained with the priory till the Dissolution, when it passed to the crown. A valuation taken in the reign of Philip and Mary assesses it at 38s. 4½d. By 1559 it had been granted to Thomas Henneage to whom Arlesey Bury (q.v.) belonged, and in this manor it becomes henceforward merged.
