Previous Lords:
In 1087 Pirot held land in Streatley, of which one hide and one-third (the marriage portion of his wife) belonged to the fee of Nigel de Albini. This holding, which became part of the barony of Cainhoe, and was situated in the hamlet of Sharpenhoe, reappears later, though it never attained the status of a manor. Testa de Nevill states that John Fitz Hugh held a fee here of this barony, and in 1264 William de Albini died seised of a fee in Sharpenhoe. In 1302 William de Norton and Isabella his wife held of this barony in Sharpenhoe, and in 1346 their land had passed into the hands of Peter de St. Croix. No further mention, however, has been found subsequent to the fourteenth century.
