• Background Information: Source.
In 1167 Thomas de Mainsbridge owned land in Mainsbridge, and in 1217 the rent paid to the king for the same by John de Mainsbridge was granted to William Briwiere. John died in 1244 without issue, when his lands were divided between his sister Agnes Peverel and Juliana daughter of his sister Clementia. Agnes Peverel was holding lands in Chilworth as early as 1230, when a dispute concerning the boundary between her estate and that of the abbot of Hyde in North Stoneham was settled by a perambulation. She still held the same, for half a knight's fee, in 1270, and her son Thomas, who died in 1306, left Chilworth to his grandson and heir, William Peverel. William's property in Chilworth is described in the inquisition taken at his death in 1337 as a manor, which descended to his son Henry. He died in 1363, and two years later Chilworth Manor was sold by his son to Thomas Tyrel, knt., of Essex [Close, 38 Edw. III, m. 32 and 28].
Agnes married Sir William de Peverell Knight, son of Sir Hugh de Peverell Knight and Unknown. (Sir William de Peverell Knight was born about 1170 in Ermington, Plympton St. Mary, Devonshire, England.)
