Previous Lords:
The second manor was held in the reign of the Confessor by Godwin and Urlewin and at the time of the Domesday Survey by Gilbert de Bretville. As in Gilbert's other manors the overlordship seems to have passed to the king, who in 1232 handed it over to Herbert son of Roger and others, from whom it seems to have passed to the Earls of Devon and eventually to the Earls of Salisbury, and, like the manor of Wille in the parish of Hampstead Norris (q.v.), it became forfeit to the king in 1400, on the death of John de Montagu Earl of Salisbury. This overlordship was restored with the title and other estates to his son Thomas on 10 April 1409 and he died seised of it on 3 November 1428. The later descent of the overlordship is well known, and it passed to the Crown on the death and subsequent attainder in 1499 of the Earl of Warwick.
