There are two manors of CHILTON mentioned in the Domesday Survey, one of which was held by Wenric under Edward the Confessor and granted by William the Conqueror to Walter Fitz Other. The descendants of Fitz Other, who assumed the name of Windsor on becoming wardens of Windsor Castle, retained the overlordship for nearly five centuries as parcel of the manor of Stanwell in Middlesex, which they held of the king in chief. In 1542 Henry VIII compelled them to surrender Stanwell to him in exchange for certain abbey lands, and the overlordship then passed to the Crown, and is mentioned as late as 1601.
