Previous Lords:
At the date of the Testa de Nevill John de Elsefeld held this fee, and his son Reginald a fourth part of it, and in 1264 his successor, Gilbert de Elsefeld, forfeited it 'by reason of his trespasses at the time of the war in the realm.' In 1288–9 Alan the son of Gilbert was holding tenements in East Ilsley granted to him by John de St. Helen's, and in 1316 another Gilbert de Elsefeld held the 'vill' of East Ilsley. This is presumably the property which he transferred in 1361 to Almeric de St. Amand, and which is then called Northbury. Almeric de St. Amand was lord of the manor of East Ilsley, and from this date the two manors were apparently united under the name of East Ilsley. Only one record of them as separate estates has been found, a conveyance of 1433, in which they are called the manors of Northbury and Overbury.
