The manor of NUNHIDE (Mymhide, Nonnehide, xvi cent.) was probably represented at the time of the Domesday Survey by the estate of Theodoric the goldsmith, which had been previously held of King Edward by Edward. In the time of Henry II Roger de Whitchurch gave 1 hide of land in Sulham to Goring Priory, in whose possession it remained until the Dissolution. It was then granted by Henry VIII to Richard Andrews and Leonard Chamberlayne, who obtained licence to alienate it to Thomas, Robert and Bartholomew Burgoyne, from whom it subsequently passed to Richard Bartlett. In 1586 Richard the nephew and heir of Richard Bartlett obtained licence to alienate it to Humphrey Forster. Sir Humphrey Forster died seised of the estate in 1602, leaving as his heir his son William, who leased the estate for their lives to Thomas, Margaret and John Wilder, members of a family which had been settled in the neighbourhood as early as 1548, and had already rented the manor of Nunhide for two generations at least. In 1632 Thomas Wilder and his son John bought the estate, which has remained in the family ever since. The present owner is the Rev. Henry Charles Wilder, rector of Sulham. ¶There was a small estate in Sulham assessed at 1 hide, which was held of King Edward the Confessor by Baldwin. In 1086 it was held of Miles Crispin by a certain William, the mesne tenant of another estate of 1 hide in Pangbourne, with which it is possible that it became incorporated. The whole may have formed part of the manor later known as Hyde Hall, situated in Purley, Sulham, Pangbourne and Whitchurch. This estate followed the descent of the large manor until the death of the last Nicholas Carew, when it passed to his sister Elizabeth the wife of Walter Twynho. A water-mill worth half a mark is mentioned in an inquisition of 1322; it was an appurtenance of the manor of Sulham and was held in that year by John de Somery.
