Previous Lords:
In the 13th century John de Cormailles (successor of a Thomas Cormailles who was holding land in Hodcutt in 1201 and Philip de Berwick each held half a fee in Hodcutt, but in 1272 Walter de la Poyle was holding the manor, which at that time owed suit to Bradfield Court (held by the Somerys) every three weeks. He is again returned as tenant in 1290 and his widow Alice in 1322. From this date there is no further trace of the manor until 1491, when Elizabeth de St. Amand died seised of it. It then seems to have followed the descent of the manor of East Ilsley (q.v.) and to have come with that manor into the possession of Thomas Crompton and his co-grantees. They apparently conveyed it to Thomas Lighe, who sold it in 1595 to Hugh Keate. He died seised of the manor of Great Hodcutt (see above) and of the messuage called Little Hodcutt. The two manors then descend together.
