Previous Lords:
The family of Ardens, who held property in Roxton in the early 13th century, give their name to the manor of ARDENS. In 1231 Roger de Hillingdon was summoned to answer Eustacia wife of Thomas de Ardens for a breach of an agreement as to 6 virgates of land in 'Ructona.' In 1347 Thomas de Ardens, kt., who owned Roxton Manor, was outlawed for felony. A property reappears in the 16th century which is called Arderns Manor, a third of which was transferred in 1543 by Nicholas Bradshawe to Thomas Child. Another third was transferred to him by Ralf Heydon in 1546, whilst in 1548 he acquired the remaining third by fine from the same persons. Robert Child died holding tenements in Roxton in 1639–40, but no further trace of the manor has been found.
