Previous Lords:
At the time of the Domesday Survey EVERSHOLT MANOR, which was 7½ hides in extent and formerly held by Turgis, a thegn, belonged to Hugh de Beauchamp, whose fief was subsequently known as the barony of Bedford. The owners of the barony continued as overlords until the middle of the 13th century, when William de Beauchamp renounced all claim to feudal service due from Eversholt Manor, which had been granted by the tenant in fee, to Woburn Abbey. A similar ceding of rights was made in 1313 by Elizabeth daughter of Baldwin de Wake and Ela his wife, a co-heir of the Beauchamps, who quitclaimed to the monks of Woburn any services due from them for lands held of her in fee in Eversholt.
