Previous Lords:
A fourth property in Bromham was known as BOWELS MANOR. It may possibly have originated in the 2 hides which Hugh held of the Countess Judith at Domesday, but no further trace has been found of her overlordship—subsequently known as the honour of Huntingdon—in this parish. The Passelowes were early holders of the manor. William Passelowe and Joan his wife held a messuage and 6 carucates of land in Bromham in 1280–1. William Passelowe and Nicholas Fermband were holding onefourth of a fee in Bromham in 1302 and in 1316. In 1326 William Passelowe conveyed a messuage, lands and rent to Richard de Ruthyn, and by 1346 this property had passed to Ralph Butler. It follows the same descent as Higham Gobion for upwards of two centuries, until in 1551 John Butler alienated Bowels Manor to Robert Odell, who two years later transferred it to Lewis Dyve. It thus became attached to the larger estate which the Dyves held in Bromham, with which its history is henceforward identical.
