At the time of the Domesday Survey Hugh de Beauchamp held BROMHAM MANOR extended at 6 hides of land. This property, which was valued at £7 and included a mill worth 20s., had previously been held by Alsi, a man of Edith. As in the overlordship of Astwick Manor (q.v.) the Beauchamps retained Bromham until the death of John de Beauchamp at Evesham in 1265, leaving his three sisters, Maud, Ela and Beatrice, as co-heirs. Amicia their mother, widow of William de Beauchamp, retained the manor until her death in 1278, when it was divided into three parts.
