Previous Lords:
Three manors are mentioned in Pavenham in the Survey of 1086, of which one, PAVENHAM MANOR, was held by Turstin, the Chamberlain of the king, in chief. It was assessed at 2½ hides, and had been previously held by Alsi, a man of Alli. This manor, in common with Turstin's other properties in Campton and Hinwick (q.v.), later became part of the barony of Bedford, and is first mentioned as so held about 1240. On the subdivision of this barony in 1265 amongst the co-heirs of John, the last feudal baron, the overlordship of Pavenham Manor passed, as in the case of Astwick (q.v.), to Maud de Beauchamp wife of Roger Moubray, and so to the Latimers and Nevills. The latest reference that has been found to the overlordship occurs in 1614, when Pavenham Manor is described as held of Lord Latimer.
