• Background Information. 1052
The first tenant in demesne of the manor of Titchmarsh recorded was Ascelin de Sidenham, [Egerton MS. (B.M.), 2733, f. 155] who in 1224 had a law suit with the Abbot of Peterborough as to suit of court due from his tenants to the courts of the Hundred of Navisford. [Curia Regis R. 85, m. 2.] He was succeeded by William de Sidenham, who had died before 1233. [Cal. Pat. 1231-34, p. 354; Anct. D. D. 286] William's heir was a minor, and the wardship of his fees in Titchmarsh was granted by Sewal, son of Henry, to Sir John de Plesseys, [Anct. Deeds, D. 286] who married William's widow and held there in 1243. [Egerton MS. (B.M.), 2733, f. 141; Bk. of Fees, ii, 937] Maud de Sidenham is said to have been William's daughter and heir and to have married John Lovel of Minster Lovel, but contemporary evidence of this does not appear. John Lovel was undoubtedly the tenant of the manor in 1268, [Hunter, Rot. Select. (Rec. Com.), 197] and died seised of it in 1287. [Chan. Inq. p.m. Edw. I, file 47, no. 2] His son Sir John Lovel was summoned to Parliament as Lord Lovel of Titchmarsh in 1299 and his descendants [Cal. Pat. 1292-1301, pp. 44, 45; 1301-7, p. 145; 1396-99, p. 541.] held the manor until the forfeiture of the lands of Francis, Lord Lovel, in 1485. [Chan. Inq. p.m. Edw. II, file 20, no. 14; file 37, no. 3; Edw. III, file 84, no. 15; Hen. V, file 8, no. 30; Hen. VI, file 158, no. 1; Cal. Anct. D., A. 4790]
