The manor of NETHER SHELTON in this parish was held in 1562 by Sir Thomas Cheyney. He was succeeded in that year by Henry his son and heir, who suffered a recovery of it in 1563. In that year the manor was conveyed to William Clarke, who in 1565 conveyed it to William Bourne. John Bourne alienated the manor in 1595 to John Mathers, who still held it in 1605. By 1608 it was the property of Thomas Barbor alias Grigge, who still continued to hold it in 1622. Within the next fifty years the Griggs had left the county, and by 1743 William Pryor had become seised of the manor. In this year he conveyed it to Robert Crichton for £560. In 1792 it was the property of John Foster, who still held it in 1811.
