Trinity College, whose connexion with this parish will be found described under the advowson, appear to own a manor here, of which, however, no mention has been found till 1550, when Sir Michael Fisher died seised of lands in Felmersham held of Trinity College, Cambridge, as of their manor of Felmersham. It does not appear in the original grant of Edward III to King's Hall, Cambridge, in 1342, or in the confirmation of Henry VIII in 1543 to Trinity College. Lysons mentions it as a manor, however, and what is still more conclusive, the parish award of 1766 mentions Daniel Berry as a copyholder of the manor held by Trinity College in this parish.
