• Background Information. ¹⁴⁰⁴
Herbert de Shortecombe died seised of 2 marks rent in Lollingdon at some date prior to 1240, when his nephew and heir Robert de Shortecombe, then a minor, remitted that rent to Bartholomew Peche in exchange for the reversion of land in Sparsholt [Assize R. 37, m. 17 d]. Bartholomew's son and heir Herbert Peche died about 1272 holding the manor of Lollingdon of Robert de Shortecombe in free socage by 1d. yearly [Cal. Inq. p.m. (Hen. III), 285]. The Shortecombe mesne lordship appears to have lapsed very shortly after the death of Herbert Peche, whose son and heir [Ibid] held Lollingdon of the king in chief as one-tenth of a knight's fee [Ibid. 1-19 Edw. I, 293] He died seised about 1283 [Ibid,] leaving his son, another Bartholomew, a boy of three and a half, as his heir. In 1327 [De Banco R. 270, m. 7] Joan, the widow of Bartholomew Peche, impleaded John Peche concerning an agreement made between them as to the manor of Lollingdon. The younger Bartholomew was knighted and his son John is mentioned in 1349, when the manor of Lollingdon was held for life by Elizabeth Edward, by a certain Joan and by William son of Joan [Feet of F. Berks. 23 Edw. III, no. 50].
