Other medieval freeholds included Haw and Querns farms and various monastic properties. In the 17th century Goring Priory and Elvendon manors were absorbed into a large Hardwick estate based in neighbouring Whitchurch, and in the early 18th Henry Allnutt (d. 1725) gave Goring manor as an endowment for his new Goring Heath almshouse. Gatehampton manor, having belonged to the mostly resident Whistler family for almost 200 years, became attached c.1850 to an estate focused on Basildon Park (Berks.), until the latter was dispersed in 1929−30 and Gatehampton manor itself was broken up in 1943. The Hardwick estate, which in 1909 included 1,505 a. in Goring,3 was broken up in 1912, and landownership has since remained fragmented. Significant but more short-lived holdings were amassed by John Nicholls from the 1780s, by the Gardiners of Whitchurch from 1819, and by Thomas Fraser c.1820, the first two accumulations including the rectory farm and tithes.

    VCH Oxfordshire • Texts in Progress • Mongewell (Feb. 2019) • © VCH Oxfordshire • Landownership • p. 1 VCH Oxfordshire Texts in Progress MONGEWELL Landownership A 10-hide estate probably covering the whole of the later parish was created before the late 10th century, having most likely been separated from a larger Anglo-Saxon estate focused on North Stoke.1 By the 13th century the manor formed part of the honor of Wallingford, which escheated to the Crown in 1300, and in 1540 was reconfigured as the honor of Ewelme. Mongewell tithingmen attended the honor’s frankpledge courts from the Middle Ages until the 19th century.2 The manor’s medieval overlords subinfeudated it to minor local gentry who mostly resided, and similar families followed in the post-medieval period. Amongst later owners Shute Barrington (lord 1770–1826, and latterly bishop of Durham) created the landscaped Mongewell Park.3 In the 19th century the manor still covered more than three quarters of the parish, stretching from the Thames to the Chiltern ridge, and to the woodlands beyond: only on the dip slope bordering Stoke Row were neighbouring landowners a significant presence.4 The estate was broken up in 1918, and from 1953–97 the manor house and grounds were occupied by Carmel College.5 Mongewell Manor Descent to 1493 Between 966 and 975 the royal consort Ælfgifu (sometime wife of King Eadwig) willed Mongewell to Ælfweard, Æthelweard, and Ælfwaru ‘in common for their lifetime’, with reversion to the Old Minster at Winchester.6 Æthelweard was probably Ælfgifu’s brother, and may have been the ealdorman and chronicler who died c.998, while Ælfwaru was her sister.7 By 1066 the manor was held from the king by William FitzOsbern (d.

    BOLNEY AND LASHBROOK Beyond Domesday ……. To recap - at the time of the Domesday recording Shiplake was two medieval manors, Bolney and Lashbrook (with a smaller estate at Crowsley) Tenant in Chief of Lashbrook was Walter Giffard and he had made Hugh of Bolbec Lord of the Manor. Tenant in Chief of Bolney was Earl William and lord of the manor was Gilbert de Bretteville. Lashbrook 12 hides (approx 1440 acres) Bolney 8 hides (960 acres) 9 Ploughlands 7 Ploughlands 13 households 16 households. Bolney’s medieval manor house was probably (like its successor Shiplake Court/College) immediately next to Shiplake Church, and Lashbrook’s closer to the river at Lashbrook Farm. However, some parts of Bolney were contained in what is now Harpsden (The southern boundary with Shiplake followed the edge of High Wood before cutting across fields and following short stretches of field and woodland boundaries to the Thames) and there was a substantial manor house Bolney Court, also with a church, near the river. Bolney Manor (after doomsday) 1103 Son of Walter Giffard, also Walter, 2nd Earl of Buckingham, and Lord of Caversham took over when his father died. When, on his death he died without issue in 1164 The Langetot family – Ralph, then Emma and her husband Geoffrey Fitzwilliam owned the manor until in 1185 their daughter Muriel took control. She lived in Shiplake, probably at or near the site of the Shiplake Court (now Shiplake College). In 1209 Muriel’s two sons by her first husband, Alan de Dunstanville, were landowners. Firstly, Alan de Dunstanville and then when he died, his brother, Geoffrey.
