An estate in Goldington held by the Pippard family may have originated in the 2 hides which Roger son of Teodric held of Hugh de Beauchamp in 1086, and which Ralph Tallebosc had formerly exchanged for Ware. The overlordship of this fee remained vested in the Beauchamps, and in the division of the honour of Bedford was held of that part which became the right of the Paynels and Picots. (fn. 117) The names of Adam Pippard and Walter his son occur among the donors to Newnham Priory in the 13th century, and in 1284 Robert Pippard held this fee. (fn. 119) John Pippard, in possession in 1302, appears to have been the last of this family to own the property, for in 1346 it was held by Henry Flamville and Roger Goldington in two parts. By 1428 these two parts were in the possession of the Abbot of Warden and Hugh Haselden, and doubtless became absorbed in the estates they held respectively in Goldington.
