Previous Lords:
From the 13th to the 16th century a family of the name of Goldstone held land in Stagsden of the barony of Bedford. In 1286 Geoffrey Goldstone was called to warrant his mother's dower in Stagsden, and twenty years later Peter Goldstone held half a virgate of land here for one-fortieth of a fee. John Goldstone held this fee in 1346, and this family was still settled in the parish nearly 100 years later, for in 1439 Richard Goldstone of Stagsden 'gentilman' received a free pardon for breach of the peace. The last mention found of them is in 1528, when John Goldstone died seised of lands and tenements in Stagsden, leaving a son Thomas Goldstone as heir.
