Champernons; from them to the Ld. Willoughby of Brook; then to the Pawlets Marquisses of Winchester; by a daughter of

some of them represented it in Pt. to which members were first sent for this place in the 27th of Q. Eliz. it being the
last T. in this Co. that was called on. for such choice. The present Ld. of this manor is Henry Rolle, lately created
Baron Stevenstone.
