Previous Lords:
The third and last subdivision of the Beauchamp fee in this parish, later known as BROMHAM MANOR, passed to Beatrice Beauchamp wife of Thomas Fitz Otho, who died in 1274, when she married William de Monchensey. This property passed to Maud wife of John de Botetourt and daughter of Beatrice Beauchamp by her first marriage, and subsequently to the Latimers and Nevills of Raby, as in the case of the Astwick overlordship (q.v.), with which descent it coincides until the year 1500, when Sir Richard Nevill conveyed it to the Archbishop of Canterbury and other trustees. Sir Richard Nevill was succeeded by his son Sir John Nevill, Lord Latimer, who died in 1544, when his son John acquired Bromham Manor. He left four daughters as co-heirs in 1577, of whom Lucy wife of William Cornwallis received Bromham. In 1589 she and her husband alienated Bromham Manor to William Boteler, who held it at his death in 1602, and whose son Thomas in 1612 conveyed it in trust to John Digby and others. Here all further trace of this manor is lost, but it is possible that it became absorbed in the manor which the Botelers owned in Biddenham (q.v.), the adjoining parish, which subsequently became merged in the Bromham estate.
