QUARRELSTEAD (Quarelstet, xv cent.; Quarrelles alias Qurrelsted, xvi–xvii cent.). The demesnes of Roger Quarel, deceased, in Appleton, are mentioned in February 1400–1. In 1432 Stephen Frenshe and John Feriby granted to William Ludlow and other feoffees 'the manor of Appleton called Quarelstede,' which they had by grant of Sir Thomas Wykham of Oxfordshire, kt., and William his son. In 1437 the other feoffees released their right to William Ludlow, and his family apparently remained in possession until 1576 when the manor was conveyed by John Ludlow to Nicholas Melton of Nately Scures, Hampshire; he settled the remainder after his own death on Francis Little of Abingdon, who married his daughter Anne (and had a son and heir Francis) on condition that his son-in-law portioned the other children. Nicholas died in 1616, and Francis proceeded to sell the estate to Richard Whitwick, clerk, disguising the fact that it was encumbered. This led to a lawsuit, after which no mention of the manor has been found. The name has now disappeared.
