Previous Lords:
The manor of BASSETS formed about one-third of the whole parish of Milton Ernest. The first mention of this property occurs in 1086, when William Basset held 2 hides less 1 virgate from Hugh de Beauchamp. It was then valued at 30s. The overlordship of this manor followed the same descent as the Steingrave-Patishull portion of the barony of Bedford (q.v.).
