This lordship is held by Chelbert, a servant of Queen Edith, King Edward the Confessor's wife. We do not think of servants being wealthy land owners, but like Carlton many servants of the ruling classes were gifted lordships and became lords in their own right. The Lordship of Carlton is also listed in the Testa de Nevill, which is not as well known as the Domesday Book but is also a record of all land holdings throughout England in the 12th century.
