Previous Lords:
The tenants in demesne were the family of Barry. In 1224 the custody of the son and heir of Ralph Barry was granted to the bishop. Ralph Barry was in possession about 1280, and in 1284 John Barry was sued by the bishop for his services. In 1314 Thomas Barry settled land here on himself for life with remainder to his son John. John in 1320 granted a messuage and a mill with 2 carucates of land in Bockhampton to Henry Tyes and Margaret his wife for life, with reversion to Henry son of Warin de Lisle, nephew of Henry Tyes. Henry Tyes, knight, who was presumably identical with Henry de Lisle, died in possession in 1361, his heir being Warin son and heir of his brother Gerard de Lisle. Warin was lord of Kingston Lisle (q.v.), and West Bockhampton followed for some time the descent of that manor, appearing as the manor of 'Berres' in 1557 among the possessions of William Hyde of Dench worth. In 1568 his grandson William Hyde and Katherine his wife conveyed it to Thomas Blagrove, whose daughters and co-heirs Joan and Elizabeth married Thomas Grove and Roger Garrard. William Grove, son of Thomas and Joan, conveyed his moiety to Richard and John Organ for the use of their sister Joan wife of Thomas Stephens. Joan's son and heir Thomas, a lunatic, who died in 1631, was succeeded by his cousin George Hippisley, who was in possession in 1690. John son of George with Mary his wife, Hugh Brice and Margaret his wife, and Baldwin Malet, clerk, and Katherine his wife conveyed this moiety to Matthew Wymondsold in 1721. Sarah Wymondsold, widow, was among the landowners of Bockhampton in 1778, when the manorial rights were already extinct.
