The nuns of Kington in Wiltshire held part of a fee in Brimpton in the 14th and 15th centuries. They may have held by grant of Adam de Brinton, who, with other members of his family, and with the Mortimers, made several grants to this house. Possibly it was this land which was held as the manor of KINGS BRIMPTON by Sir Peter Bessels at his death in 1426 and afterwards by his widow, and in the 16th century by Sir Francis Englefield, when, doubtless, it was amalgamated with the main manor.
