John de Carmino, who gave his name to this manor, succeeding James de Kancia, probably the son of Thomas, was in possession in 1316, and was followed by his wife Joan, who was lady of Carminos in 1346 and 1350. In 1360–1 Ralph son and heir of Walter de Carmino, and probably the grandson of Joan, granted his manor to Ralph Restwold, who a few years later alienated it to Richard de Craunfeld. Before 1428 it had passed to Henry Godfrey, then lord of the manor of Northill, whose granddaughter Elizabeth with her husband, Randall Borough, sold the reversion to Thomas Chibnall, and he to John Poley in 1556. The latter died in 1558 and was succeeded by his son Francis, who died ten years later, leaving as heir an infant daughter Alice, who married Robert Reade. In 1588 Robert and Alice alienated their manor to George Mordaunt and Cecilia his wife. The Mordaunts retained the manor for nearly 100 years, George Mordaunt, the grandson of George and Cecilia, owning it in 1657, but it passed from them when it was conveyed to William Atkins and others in 1685–6. The later history of Lower Caldecote Manor is obscure, but Lysons states in 1813 that it had been more than a century in the family of John Harvey, its proprietor at that date. Since then its descent has been the same as Northill Manor, Mr. John Edmund Audley Harvey being its present owner.
