In the 13th century the manor was held of Ralf de Camoys the elder by John de la Husee, from whose family it received its distinguishing name. He seems to have been succeeded by Piers de la Husee who married Agatha daughter and co-heir of William Banister of Finchampstead. No mention of Padworth occurs in the inquisition taken on the death of Piers, but probably this was because it was not held in chief of the king, for the manor afterwards passed with Finchampstead (q.v.) to the families of Colle and Perkyns, and has since followed the descent of Ufton Court (q.v. in Ufton). Mr. James Herbert Benyon of Englefield is the owner at the present day.
