Dates: Established in the nineteenth century; recorded as lord of Acton Manor by 1899.

Biography

The Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England was the statutory body responsible for the management and redistribution of certain Church of England estates. In the Acton evidence it appears as the institutional lord of the manor, not as a private individual.

Notes / Sources

The exact statutory or conveyancing route by which the Acton manorial lordship passed from the Bishop of London remains unidentified.
