The manor was held in the 13th century of the Earl Richard by Bartholomew de Pechy or Peche, who seems to have purchased it in 1246–7 of Geoffrey son of John. Bartholomew was followed by his son Herbert, whose widow Lucy Peche and Bartholomew the heir of Herbert Peche had free warren here in 1275–6, and in 1349 John son of this Sir Bartholomew Peche conveyed the manor to Thomas de Coleshill and others, apparently in trust, on the marriage of his son John with Lady Isabel Mounbocher, daughter of Sir Richard de Wilygby. In 1352–3 John Peche, jun., sold the manor to Hugh Berwyk, who in 1372–3 purchased the adjoining manor of Frilsham (q.v.), after which the history of the two manors is the same until the 19th century. Robert Hayward, who had purchased the manors in 1800, died 21 March 1820, and by his will dated 21 August 1818 he left this manor to his distant cousins William and John Aldworth of Frilford, Berks., in equal shares as tenants in common. William and John were the sons of William and Elizabeth Aldworth and the grandsons of Robert Aldworth and Elizabeth sister of Thomas Hayward, who was grandfather of the Robert who purchased the property. The manor was sold in 1876 by William Aldworth to George Palmer of Marlston in Bucklebury, the father of the Right Hon. George William Palmer, its present possessor.
