There was another manor in Woolhampton, not entered in Domesday Book, which was held in the 13th century by William Revel of Robert Achard by service of half a knight's fee. It seems to have passed to Ellis de St. Albans, rector of Wethersfield, before 1331, in which year it was valued at £20. It was then said to be held of the Abbot of Reading, but this was perhaps a mistake, as the overlordship, if this estate be the same, would have descended in the Achards and Delamares, the heirs of the last Robert Achard of Aldermaston. The half fee of Ellis de St. Albans was held in 1428 by John Delamare, who possibly belonged to a younger branch of the Delamares of Aldermaston. After this date its history becomes obscure, but it possibly reverted to the elder branch of Delamare at John's death, and descending to Sir Humphrey Forster became amalgamated with his lands in Woolhampton.
