In 1287 the Knights Templars owned MILLBROOK MANOR, in which they claimed view of frankpledge twice yearly by charter of Henry III. It was at this date assessed at 3 carucates. On the suppression of the Templars by Pope Clement V this property, like most of the estates of the Templars, passed to the Knights Hospitallers. In 1337 it was said to comprise 2 carucates of land, 20 acres of meadow and 10 acres of woodland. At the Dissolution it became the property of the Crown, who already owned land in Millbrook, and was granted almost immediately to Sir Richard Longe, who acquired at the same time most of the Hospitallers' lands, including Clifton Manor, in this county. Like that manor, his lands in Millbrook are included in his marriage settlement on Margaret Kitson in 1541. During his tenure also John Clark and others were accused by him of entering into and depasturing his lands called Nethertemple; but no further mention has been found of this property.
