LOVEDAYS, or DENCHWORTH LOVEDAYS, probably represents the half of the Stafford fee which about 1250 was held by Hervey de Wilbrighton. William Waldyn de Wilbrighton, probably a son of Hervey, must have been in possession of this fee in 1305, when he claimed the advowson. He disputed the possession of a messuage and 7 virgates of land in South Denchworth with Maud widow of William de Earley in 1307. It seems probable that his land came into the hands of Sir John de Charlton, who in 1310 granted his holding here to Richard de la Rivere. John son of William de la Rivere, who is mentioned in connexion with a smaller estate in Denchworth in 1321, probably acquired this also; in 1327 he appointed Robert his brother his attorney to give seisin of all his lands in South Denchworth to John son of John Loveday. John Loveday's daughter and heir Elizabeth married John Shelford, and with her husband granted the manor to John atte Hyde in 1382. It was thereby attached to the Hyde estates and subsequently followed the same descent as the manor generally called the manor of South Denchworth.
