Previous Lords:
About the year 1255 Osbert and Joan Turpin, mentioned above, gave to the nunnery of Godstow a moiety of all their holding at North Moreton, including half a messuage called 'Parc,' with 6d. yearly rent from Richard Turpin and his heirs, the gift being confirmed by William the son of John (perhaps the heir) and by Henry Basset, renewed afterwards by the widow Joan, then of Blewbury, and confirmed by Miles Basset on payment of 8 marks, to be held by payment of one pair of gloves or 1d. at Michaelmas. The Court Rolls mention the tenure of the abbess frequently from 1356 to 1537. After the Dissolution part of the estate was annexed to the honour of Ewelme and was held of the king by Henry Slade at his death in 1620 and by John his son in 1636.
