The first mention of the property that afterwards became known as the manor of OVERDEAN alias OVERDEAN and NETHERDEAN occurs in 1086 when Godfrey held 2 hides and half a virgate in Dean from Bishop Remigius of Lincoln. This land was assessed at 40s. and had in the days of the Confessor been held by Godric, a thegn of the king. The Bishops of Lincoln were the overlords of this manor until the end of the 13th century. No mention later than 1284, however, occurs of them with reference to Dean, and as by 1302–3 the property was held of Lord Segrave it must be presumed that between these two dates the overlordship was transferred. The Segrave family continued to hold the overlordship until about 1428.
