Previous Lords:
The Domesday tenant of Walter the Heming was named Hugh, and had followed Levenot, a thegn who held this land in the days of Edward the Confessor. By the 13th century the land had passed to a family called Maunsell. Sampson Maunsell held half a fee in Turvey some time previous to 1278–9, at which date his son William Maunsell owned 1 hide there, of which 2 virgates were in demesne and 2 virgates held by tenants. In 1302–3 William Maunsell held one-fourth of a fee in Turvey, and in 1346 William Maunsell, probably a son, rendered feudal service. By 1428 this fee is declared to have passed to Robert Mordaunt, and thus became absorbed in the larger manor, no further mention having been found of it.
