Previous Lords:
Three hides in Hendred were granted by Edgar to Abingdon Abbey and were held till the middle of the 13th century by the St. Helen family. This holding probably came into the possession of John Southbury of Wantage, who granted two messuages, a mill, and about 200 acres here in 1397 to Roger Walden, Archbishop of Canterbury, and John his brother. They conveyed it two years later to the king, who granted it at once to the Abbot and convent of Westminster. The land which was granted to Poughley Priory by Geoffrey de Turberville was given to the abbey at Westminster after the Dissolution and subsequently became the property of the dean and chapter.
