MANORS
¶Carshalton was held in the time of King Edward the Confessor by five freemen as five manors. In 1086 it was held as one manor by Geoffrey de Mandeville, (fn. 26) who gave 6 hides from it as the marriage portion of his daughter, wife of Geoffrey son of Eustace Count of Boulogne. (fn. 27) These at the time of the Domesday Survey were held of Geoffrey Fitz Eustace by a certain Wesman. The greater part of this estate formed the manor of CARSHALTON, of which the overlordship descended to the Mandevilles Earlsof Essex and the Bohuns Earls of Hereford and Essex. Eleanor daughter and co-heir of Humphrey de Bohun married Thomas of Woodstock, son of Edward III. (fn. 28) Their son Humphrey died without issue in 1399, after which the overlordship seems to have lapsed to the Crown. |
