Ownership / Holder Account
The reputed manor of WINKLES (Wenckles, Wenkeles, xiv cent.; Wyncles, xvi cent.) was, like Foxleys, a collection of various holdings acquired in the 14th century by one owner, John Brocas. One of these had been granted by Henry III to Simon Hartaud in 1253, and passed from his descendant Nicholas Hartaud to John Brocas about 1337; the rest were chiefly purprestures taken into cultivation towards the end of the 13th century and arrented to various holders by Geoffrey de Pycheford and his successors, wardens of Bray. The estate followed the descent of the Brocas manor of Clewer (q.v.).
