About the Manor
The Lordship of Brookhampton is in the Kington Hundred of Warwickshire, about half a mile west of Kineton.
The Close Rolls of King Henry III record that Ralph was lord of the manor in 1231. The following year his nephew Henry de Trublevill succeeded to the lordship. By 1235 it is recorded in the Book of Fees at the Public Records Office that the lordship had reverted to King Henry III.
In 1477 Richard Dalby died, lord of the manor, leaving a son Robert, who succeeded him. The Dalby family continued to hold this lordship until 1677 when Ambrose Holbeck acquired the manor. From him the lordship came to Lord Willoughby de Broke, who’s descendants have continued to hold the lordship until the present day.
