Previous holder: King Edward the Confessor's tenant Osward is recorded for one of the Domesday estates; the precise identity and continuity of the two Domesday holdings are not fully resolved. Holding arrangement: sole Shared holding: Royal serjeanty holding Narrative / explanation: Domesday Book records two estates at Edintone/Addington. One was held of the king by Tezelin, the king's cook, and was assessed at eight hides before reduction in the recorded assessment. Later medieval and antiquarian accounts describe the holding as attached to the service of presenting a dish of pottage at a coronation. Because Domesday records two Addington estates, this entry should not be read as proving that Tezelin held every later component of the manor.

Previous holder: Earlier royal and serjeanty holding; intervening transfers are not securely established in the sources consulted. Holding arrangement: sole Shared holding: Aguilon family Narrative / explanation: In 1278 Robert de Aguilon received royal licence to embattle his house at Addington and was granted free warren in his manor there. The date of his death is given as 1286 in the antiquarian material. The sources do not establish whether his interest represented an uninterrupted descent from the Domesday serjeanty holding or a separate component of the later manor.

Previous holder: Robert de Aguilon Holding arrangement: sole Shared holding: Bardolf family Narrative / explanation: Several historical accounts explicitly connect the Addington manor with Isabella, daughter and heir of Robert de Aguilon, and her husband Hugh Bardolf. The marriage explains the entry of the manor into the Bardolf family, but the exact legal date and form of the conveyance are not supplied by the sources consulted.

Previous holder: Hugh Bardolf and Isabella de Aguilon Holding arrangement: sole Shared holding: Bardolf family Narrative / explanation: The manor remained associated with the Bardolf family after the Aguilon inheritance. The evidence is sufficient to record continued Bardolf lordship, but not to create a precise conveyance to the Leighs. One source reports that William Bardolf had licence in 1379 to alienate Bardolf's Court; this may relate to a component or associated holding and is not treated here as a transfer of the whole Addington manor. Source citation: Surrey Archaeological Collections, 'Surrey Etymologies', citing Manning, History of Surrey; the account identifies the Bardolfs as lords of Addington and reports the 1379 alienation licence.

The immediate transfer from the Bardolf interest is not documented in the sources consulted. Previous holder: Bardolf family; precise transfer unknown Holding arrangement: sole Shared holding: Leigh family Narrative / explanation: A Surrey History Centre report states that John atte Legh acquired the manor of Addington in 1447. Other antiquarian summaries give slightly earlier dates, including 1424 or 1434, so 1447 is recorded as the date supplied by the archival-history report rather than treating the conflicting earlier dates as exact. The documentary bridge from the Bardolfs to John atte Legh remains unresolved. Source citation: Surrey Archaeological Society, Surrey History report on the Leigh-Bennett archive, stating that John atte Legh acquired the manor of Addington in 1447.

Previous holder: Henry VIII and the Crown, following the dissolution of the Knights Hospitaller and associated religious houses Holding arrangement: sole Shared holding: Leigh family Narrative / explanation: A deed abstract preserved in the Leigh family material records an exchange dated 25 June in the 36th year of Henry VIII, corresponding to 1544. Nicholas Leigh received the manor of Addington otherwise called Temple, formerly belonging to the Priory of St John of Jerusalem, together with the parsonage and church of Addington and other lands. This was an additional Addington estate, consolidating Nicholas Leigh's position as holder of the Addington property.

Previous holder: Nicholas Leigh Holding arrangement: sole Shared holding: Leigh family Narrative / explanation: The Leigh family history records Nicholas Leigh's death in 1565 and identifies John Leigh as the succeeding holder, with John dying in 1576. The exact instrument of succession is not given in the source consulted, so this is recorded as a documented family descent rather than a separately sourced conveyance deed.

Previous holder: John Leigh Holding arrangement: sole Shared holding: Leigh family Narrative / explanation: The Addington history identifies Sir Oliph Leigh as the eldest-son successor of John Leigh and records that the manor descended through him. Sir Oliph Leigh died in 1611. The source does not provide a separate transfer deed for the succession. Source citation: Manning, The History and Antiquities of Surrey, account of the manors of Addington; corroborated by the Surrey coats-of-arms record identifying the Leighs of Addington Place and the memorial evidence at Addington church.

Previous holder: Sir Oliph Leigh Holding arrangement: sole Shared holding: Leigh family Narrative / explanation: The manor remained with the Leigh family for approximately three centuries. The family archive includes a 1660 deed describing a bargain and sale of the manor of Addington by Sir Thomas Leigh to Anthony Rolfe, probably as part of a marriage settlement, followed by a recovery and deed to bar entail. These instruments appear to be settlement devices within the Leigh family rather than an enduring loss of lordship, since contemporary and later sources continue to identify the Leighs as lords of Addington. Sir John Leigh died without surviving issue in November 1737. Source citation: Surrey Archaeological Collections, 'Notices of the Family of Leigh of Addington', listing the 1660 bargain and sale, recovery and entail documents; Manning, The History and Antiquities of Surrey, for the Leigh descent and Sir John Leigh's death.

Previous holder: Sir John Leigh Holding arrangement: joint Share / interest: The sources describe the estates as divided between the two female heirs; the precise fractional shares in Addington are not stated here. Shared holding: Leigh-Bennett and Spencer heirs Narrative / explanation: After Sir John Leigh's death, his will in favour of relations of his second wife was set aside. The cited history states that a House of Lords decree in 1744 awarded the estates to Mrs Bennett and Mrs Spencer, daughters of Sir John Leigh's uncle Wolley Leigh. The 1767 Act of Parliament enabled division of the estates, and Addington was assigned to Mrs Spencer in January 1768. Because the sources describe the legal settlement rather than a simple private sale, this is recorded as a joint or divided succession followed by assignment. Source citation: Manning, The History and Antiquities of Surrey, account of the manors of Addington, describing the 1744 decree, the 1767 Act and the January 1768 assignment.

Previous holder: Ann Spencer and Wolley Leigh Spencer Holding arrangement: sole Shared holding: Trecothick family Narrative / explanation: The 1768 sale is explicitly described in the Surrey history as a conveyance of the manor of Addington together with the mansion, rectory, advowson and associated farms. The purchase price is reported in different secondary accounts as either £3,500 or £38,500; the price discrepancy does not affect the identification of the purchaser. Barlow Trecothick commissioned the eighteenth-century mansion later known as Addington Palace.

Previous holder: Barlow Trecothick Holding arrangement: sole Shared holding: Trecothick family Narrative / explanation: Barlow Trecothick's will left his estates to his nephew James Ivers on condition that he assumed the Trecothick name and arms. James Ivers Trecothick therefore succeeded to Addington after Barlow's death in 1775. He completed the new mansion and commissioned Capability Brown for landscape work. The sources document his ownership of the Addington estate and manor-house complex, although the exact probate or conveyance instrument has not been consulted.

Previous holder: James Ivers Trecothick and the Trecothick estate Holding arrangement: trust Shared holding: Archiepiscopal estate Narrative / explanation: In 1807 the Church of England purchased the Addington site and estate for the use of the Archbishops of Canterbury. Contemporary and later sources describe the transaction as including the manor, mansion, rectory and advowson, and the house thereafter became known as Addington Palace. The purchase was made with trust funds associated with the see. Later sources record the 1898 sale of the house and land to Frederick Alexander English, but the material consulted does not establish whether every manorial right or the whole legal manor passed in that later sale; therefore no separate post-1807 manorial conveyance is asserted.
