Certain lands here were held in the 10th century by Wulfric, who was deprived of them for some offence, but they were restored to him by King Edgar in 960. There were two manors in CHADDLEWORTH at the time of the Domesday Survey, and of these the most important had been held of Countess Gytha and her son Gurth as two manors by two freemen. It passed afterwards to Oda of Winchester, who gave it to Robert, the steward of Hugh de Port. At the time of the Domesday Survey it was held by the abbey of Winchester, but by what right the men of the shire did not know. It seems afterwards to have passed with the majority of Oda's lands to Rogerd' lvry, and was included in the honour of St. Valery. It is probable that when Bernard de St. Valery founded the abbey of Lieu Dieu in France he granted to the monks there his lands in Chaddleworth, for the abbot of that monastery was holding land here in 1220–1. Later in the 13th century Robert de Chaddleworth held 5 hides here of the abbey for a rent of 10 marks yearly, and in 1247 John, the abbot, with the convent of Lieu Dieu, sold all their rent and right in Chaddleworth to the Abbot and convent of Netley in Hampshire.
