At the time of the Domesday Survey Hugh de Beauchamp owned a manor in Gravenhurst, which was held under him by William Froissart. The overlordship apparently passed from the Beauchamps to the crown, of whom the manor was held in 1346 and 1428, but from 1562 to 1623 the manor of LOWER or NETHER GRAVENHURST was said to be held of the earl of Bath as of his manor of Hardwick.
