Previous Lords:
At the time of the Domesday Survey this manor was held as tenant in fee by Osbert, and by the beginning of the 13th century had passed to Roger de Welton. William son of Roger de Welton obtained a grant of free warren here in 1257, and was followed by his son Roger. To the latter is probably due the alienation which took place shortly after this date to the Cantlowes. Millicent de Montalt, co-heir of George de Cantlowe, who died in 1273, was holding the manor in 1276, and, from the date of its acquisition by Millicent, Totternhoe Manor shares the history of her manor in Eaton Bray (q.v.), and together with that manor was owned by William Beckford in 1801, but the greater part of the parish is now in the possession of Earl Brownlow, who is also lord of the manor.
