Relationship paths: No published path recorded. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOLDER 2 one Turold of Aston Transfer: Recorded possession Holding arrangement: sole Narrative / explanation: The subsequent history of the property is obscure, but there is evidence which seems to support a suggestion that the manor of Winterbourne and the manor of Aston Tirrold were for some time after the Conquest in the hands of one Turold of Aston, apparently the son of Geoffrey, who perhaps married the heiress of lands at Sulham and Bolney. Relationship paths: No published path recorded. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOLDER 3 | 1219 Nicholas from his uncle Nicholas de Sedham Transfer: Inheritance Holding arrangement: sole Narrative / explanation: Nicholas's widow, Agnes, had taken as her second husband William de Bowen or Boveney, and in 1219 they were claiming a third part of certain lands in Fawley held of Reginald de Whitchurch and Alice his wife by Simon de Lewknor, which it is said had been inherited by Nicholas from his uncle Nicholas de Sedham, in whom, perhaps, we may recognize Nicholas of Winterbourne who quitclaimed half a fee here to the Bishop of Salisbury. Relationship paths: No published path recorded. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOLDER 4 | 1219 the Bishop of Salisbury Transfer: Conveyance Holding arrangement: sole Narrative / explanation: Nicholas's widow, Agnes, had taken as her second husband William de Bowen or Boveney, and in 1219 they were claiming a third part of certain lands in Fawley held of Reginald de Whitchurch and Alice his wife by Simon de Lewknor, which it is said had been inherited by Nicholas from his uncle Nicholas de Sedham, in whom, perhaps, we may recognize Nicholas of Winterbourne who quitclaimed half a fee here to the Bishop of Salisbury. Relationship paths: No published path recorded. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOLDER 5 | 1242 Robert Transfer: Grant Holding arrangement: sole Narrative / explanation: About 1242 Reginald and his wife granted their share to Robert, and this probably became part of the estate which was afterwards known as the manor of Winterbourne Danvers (vide infra).

Relationship paths: No published path recorded. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOLDER 7 Gilbert son of John de Ellesfield Transfer: Passed Holding arrangement: sole Narrative / explanation: These lands passed to Gilbert son of John de Ellesfield, who was holding lands at Bolney in 1313 and a knight's fee here in 1315.
