Previous Lords:
The COLLEGE OF SHOTTESBROOK and its site and the manorial estate belonging to it, which fell into the king's hands at the dissolution of chantries in 1547, were granted in 1548 to Thomas and Edward Weldon, and the latter died seised of them in 1551, and was followed by his son Thomas, who died in 1590 seised of the mansion-house and site of the college. William, his heir, who was then eight years old, was dealing with the property by fine in 1603 and 1620. In 1667 George Weldon, the third son and ultimate heir of William Weldon, conveyed the manor of the college to Richard Powle, lord of Shottesbrook, and the descent of the college estate is from this date identical with that of the manor.
