Horringford Manor
Horringford Manor is a manor house on the Isle of Wight, situated in the parish of Arreton. History It is classed by Mr. Moody as a manor identical with the Domesday entry of Ovingefort, then held by Godric the king's thegn. The difficulty of accepting this identification lies in the presence of the letter "r" and the fact of the existence of a small holding by Blackwater called Huffingford, in the 13th century written Hovyngford. Godric also held Huncheford, which had a mill, and this double tenure of holdings with very similar names may account for the somewhat puzzling entries in the Testa de Nevill, the Feudal Aids and the later fee roll among the Worsley MSS. Distinct holdings they certainly were, Horringford (Horyngforde) being held under Yaverland Manor, Huffingford (Hovyngforde) partly under Gatcombe and partly under John de Lisle—probably, like Rookley, of the manor of Appleford. The first instance of its present spelling occurs in an exchange of land lying to the w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
