In 968 King Edgar granted to the abbey of Abingdon certain lands at OARE, which seem to have been included by successive abbots in their manor of Chieveley until the Dissolution in 1538. In 1545 the manor was granted to Edward Basshe of London and Thomasia his wife, who sold it to the king in the following year. It was leased by Edward VI in 1551 to Sir Thomas Parry, whose son Sir Thomas received a grant in tail in 1561 and, with Dorothy his wife, conveyed it in 1601 to William Homes and Edmund Cooke. The history of the manor becomes obscure for more than a century. In 1721 Charles Dibley and Joan his wife, with William Boote, junior, and William Boycott, conveyed the manor to Thomas Parsons and Charles Mallett, and in 1725 John Smith devised it to Richard Smith, who on 17 August 1733 sold it to Felix Calvert of Albury Hall, Herts. At his death in 1737 it passed to his son Felix Calvert, M.P. for Windsor, who possessed it in 1740. He married in 1723 Mary daughter of Felix Calvert of Nine Elms, and died in 1755, when the manor passed to his son John Calvert, M.P. for Wendover in 1754, who conveyed the manor to trustees in 1757 on his marriage with Elizabeth daughter of Sir Edward Hulse, bart. In 1771 John Calvert sold this estate to Fysh Coppinger, who under the name of Fysh Burgh sold it on 16 November 1787 to William Brummell. At William Brummell's death his will seems to have been disputed, but it was settled on 14 July 1796 in favour of Sir John Macpherson and others, his executors, who had on 11 November 1795 sold the estate to William Mount of Wasing (q.v.). From him it has descended to Mr. William Arthur Mount, M.P., its present possessor.
