Previous holder: Unknown pre-Conquest ecclesiastical endowment Holding arrangement: sole Share / interest: The source treats Albrightlee as part of the estate of St Alkmund rather than identifying a separate fractional share. Shared holding: St Alkmund collegiate estate Narrative / explanation: This is the earliest secure institutional holding. Domesday evidence identifies Albrightlee as belonging to the church of St Alkmund, and the Victoria County History states that the collegiate estate was transferred to Lilleshall Abbey about 1145. Source citation: Victoria County History, Shrewsbury, vol. 2, chapter 4.1.3, St Alkmund, pp. 2-3; Domesday Book evidence for Albrightlee and St Alkmund. Source URL: https://vchshropshire.org/_Shrewsbury_2/4_1_3_St%20Alkmund.pdf Other parties: Canons of St Alkmund, Shrewsbury Historical person profile: https://manorialregistry.com/?mhr_person=canons-of-st-alkmund-shrewsbury-27059 Person dates: Institutional body active before the Norman Conquest; collegiate estate transferred c.1145 Relationship paths: No published path recorded. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOLDER 2 | c.1145 - 1273 Lilleshall Abbey, Augustinian Abbey of Lilleshall Person: https://manorialregistry.com/?mhr_person=lilleshall-abbey-27061 Transfer: The estate of St Alkmund, including Albrightlee, was transferred to Lilleshall Abbey about 1145. Albrightlee was later recovered from the Burnell family in 1273 after a protracted legal dispute. Previous holder: Canons of St Alkmund, Shrewsbury Holding arrangement: sole Share / interest: Not separately quantified; Albrightlee formed part of the abbey's landed estate and grange system. Shared holding: Lilleshall Abbey estate Narrative / explanation: The abbey's interest was interrupted or challenged by the Burnell family. The available summaries describe the 1273 event as recovery by Lilleshall Abbey, so the Burnell family is not treated as a securely established long-term owner of the manor. Source citation: Victoria County History, Shrewsbury, vol. 2, chapter 4.1.3, St Alkmund; Robert W. Eyton, Antiquities of Shropshire, and the Lilleshall evidence summarized in the Shropshire historical sources.

Previous holder: Burnell family, whose claim or occupation was displaced Holding arrangement: sole Share / interest: Not separately quantified. Shared holding: Lilleshall Abbey estate Narrative / explanation: The 1273 recovery is the clearest medieval restoration of the abbey's title. The abbey's possession continued until the suppression of Lilleshall in 1538-1539. No separate medieval tenant or mesne lord is entered because the sources do not establish one as holder of the manor itself.

The precise post-Dissolution conveyances between 1538-1539 and 1548 are not established. Previous holder: Unknown post-Dissolution holder; the Crown's intermediate title is not separately documented here for Albrightlee Holding arrangement: sole Share / interest: Not separately quantified. Shared holding: Barker Haughmond estate Narrative / explanation: This is the first securely documented post-Dissolution link between Albrightlee and the Barker family's Haughmond estate. The source directly names Albrightlee among the properties transferred by Sir Rowland Hill, but does not prove that every intermediate transaction affecting the separate Albrightlee parcel followed the title of Haughmond Abbey itself.

Previous holder: John Barker Holding arrangement: sole Share / interest: Not separately quantified. Shared holding: Barker Haughmond estate Narrative / explanation: The Barker descent is documented for the Haughmond estate and Albrightlee is expressly included in the estate's property list and later described as the Barker family's nearby house. This supports the Albrightlee link, while not implying that the farmhouse itself was continuously the family's principal residence.

Previous holder: Rowland Barker Holding arrangement: sole Share / interest: Not separately quantified.

Previous holder: John Barker Holding arrangement: sole Share / interest: Not separately quantified.

Previous holder: John Barker Holding arrangement: joint Share / interest: Joint holding; the sources do not state the precise shares of the Albrightlee component. Shared holding: Barker-Kynaston-Coke estate Narrative / explanation: The source documents a joint succession and subsequent partition of the wider estate.

Albrightlee North and Albrightlee South were included in the 1919 estate sale. Previous holder: Canon George William Pigot, later Corbet Holding arrangement: sole Share / interest: Not separately quantified. Shared holding: Sundorne estate Narrative / explanation: Hugh Dryden Corbet was the last securely documented historical holder of the Sundorne estate before the 1919 sale. The sale material identifies Albrightlee North and Albrightlee South as estate properties, but the names of the subsequent purchasers were not found. The reported sale therefore marks the end of the securely reconstructed descent rather than a proven conveyance to an identified buyer.
