Research Notes:

Mentmore was held by Earl Hugh of Chester in 1086, and by Robert from him. This enormous manor, assessed at 18 hides, was held by Eadgifu the Fair before the Conquest. The tenancy-in-chief was in the hands of Osbert Martel before 1167, and passed to Adulf de Braci before 1170. Adulf's daughter Mascelin married William de Cauntelow, who held the manor in the 13th century, and at this time it was said to be a member of the manor of Eaton Bray... ¹
