The manor of MARSTON or MANGEHOO in this parish appears in the 16th century in the family of Dyve, who held it as of the manor of Marston Moretaine. John Dyve died seised of it in 1537–8, and the family continued to hold until Lewis Dyve transferred it to Robert Odell in 1553 in exchange for Bromham Manor, and five years later Thomas Odell was in possession. By 1569, however, it had been transferred to Henry Edward, who still held it in 1588. In 1613 he died, and his son Henry inherited it. There were at this time in the manor three closes besides one which was called Ashelden Close and had an area of 20 acres. The former three closes were held of Thomas Grigge as of his manor of Shelton in Marston Moretaine, and were worth 20s. per annum. Ashelden Close, which was composed of three smaller closes, was parcel of the manor of Shelton, and held of the king as of his manor of East Greenwich, with a value of 3s. 4d. per annum. By the middle of the 17th century Mangehoo had become divided amongst six co-heirs, of whom Thomas Dier or Devotion held one share, John Pryor another and Thomas Bird another. In 1657 Alice Rogers was seised of another of such parts. Two years later, however, she had acquired the inheritance of Thomas Bird, and although she had not become possessed of the property of all the other four co-heirs, yet in this year, 1659, she made good her claim to the whole manor of Mangehoo. Nothing further can be found relating to the history of this manor after 1782, in which year John Pemberton suffered a recovery of it.
