Previous Lords:
There was a second manor at Padworth assessed at 2½ hides, which was held of William de Ow by Gozelin at the time of the Domesday Survey, and had been held by Ælfstan of King Edward. The overlordship afterwards belonged to the Earls Marshal, and apparently passed by the marriage of Isabel daughter and heir of William Marshal with Gilbert de Clare to the Earls of Gloucester. After the death of the last Gilbert de Clare in 1314 Padworth formed part of the portion of Margaret wife of Hugh Audley, one of his sisters and co-heirs. Her daughter and heir, another Margaret, married Ralf Earl of Stafford, and the overlordship continued in the possession of their descendants at least as late as 1460, when the last mention of it occurs.
