William Parr, brother of the 6th wife of Henry VIII, owned the manor until his death in 1570. It then went to the Crown and was granted to Lord Burghley. Through the Cecil family it was owned by the Earls of Ailesbury in the 18thC until 1886 when it was bought by the Arton family. VCH, Vol I, p 384-38 | |
