In 948 King Edred granted STANMORE to his thane Wulfric, who seems to have forfeited these lands, as they were restored to him with other lands by King Edgar in 960. At his death he left them to the abbey of Abingdon. As no further mention of these lands as a separate manor can be found, and as there is no notice of them in the Domesday Survey, doubtless the abbey attached them to their adjoining manor of Beedon. In 1559 Henry Earl of Rutland and Henry Stoner, when conveying the manor of Beedon to Anne and Thomas Reade, conveyed also messuages, lands and rents in Beedon, Stanmore and Peasemore. There are similar allusions in some of the later records of Beedon Manor already referred to. Stanmore appears, however, to have been considered a distinct vill, as separate awards were made in 1854 for inclosing the commons of Beedon and Stanmore, although they adjoined and had no obvious boundary.
