No mention of the so-called manor of ASPLEY or ASPLEY BURY has been found before 1503, in which year Ralph Lane conveyed one-third of this manor to Thomas Montague and Mary his wife for life, with reversion to himself. He died in possession of this manor in 1541, and was succeeded by his son Robert, who was holding in 1556, in which year he transferred a messuage and land forming part of the manor to Laurence Eton. Between this date and 1612, though no record has been found of the transfer, Aspley Bury passed into the possession of Richard Franklin, whose son John, knighted during his father's lifetime, succeeded him in 1612. His sister Elizabeth married Sir Christopher Musgrave, and received Aspley Bury as her marriage portion. The manor was held in 1757 by their son Joseph, whose nephew George held the property till his death in 1861. His son, George Musgrave, was succeeded by a son Edgar, whose son Horace Edgar Musgrave at present owns the property.
