Four properties are mentioned in the Domesday Survey, none of which had attained to the status of a manor. What later became known as CARLTON or PABENHAMS MANOR is to be found in 1086 in the estate held by the Bishop of Bayeux. It consisted of 1 hide 1 virgate, which were held of the bishop by Herbert son of Ivo, who in his turn had two sokemen holding of him, an exceptional case at Domesday of an undertenant himself having undertenants. The Bishop of Bayeux was the Conqueror's half-brother, and when he died in 1097 his land in Carlton, which he held in a personal, not an official, capacity, appears to have reverted to the Crown, and henceforth is to be found held of the king in chief. In 1492 and 1525 it was said to be held of the king as of his honour of Dover.
