  Henry de Ferrers From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "The Domesday Book records over 200 manors given to Henry de Ferrers" Henry de Ferrers (died by 1100), magnate and administrator, was a Norman who after the 1066 Norman conquest was awarded extensive lands in England. Origins He was the eldest son of Walkeline de Ferrers and in about 1040 inherited his father's lands centred on the village of Ferrières-Saint-Hilaire. Career In England he progressively acquired landholdings, which he had to manage. As one of the leading magnates, he also served King William I of England and his successor William II in administrative capacities and is said to have been castellan of Stafford Castle. In about 1080, he and his wife founded Tutbury Priory and in 1086 he was one of the royal commissioners in charge of the Domesday survey,[1] which records his 210 manors. He died between September 1093 and September 1100 and was buried in Tutbury Priory. West front of the former priory, now St Mary's church, Tutbury Landholdings His first three tranches of land came to him from dispossessed English holders. First, in about 1066 or 1067, he was granted the lands of Goderic, the former sheriff of Berkshire, in Berkshire and Wiltshire. Then, by about the end of 1068, he obtained lands in Buckinghamshire, Essex and Northamptonshire, as well as more in Berkshire, that had belonged to Bondi the Staller. Finally, after the 1071 revolt, he was awarded the lands of Siward Barn in Derbyshire, Gloucestershire, Nottinghamshire and Warwickshire as well as further lands in Berkshire and Essex. Also after the revolt, he became holder of the Wapentake of Appletree centred on Tutbury Castle, which had been in the hands of Hugh d'Avranches and stretched across Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Staffordshire. Among his under-tenants were members of families believed to have come from villages near his original home at Ferrières-Saint-Hilaire, such as the Curzons from Notre-Dame-de-Courson, the Baskervilles from Saint-Martin-de-Boscherville and the Levetts from Jonquerets-de-Livet. Family With his wife Bertha he had four known children: William, probably the eldest, who inherited the estates in Normandy and was a supporter of Duke Robert Curthose.[1] Enguenulph, keeper of Duffield Castle,[6][7] who did not long outlive his father. Robert, who inherited the estates in England and was made Earl of Derby. Amice, who married Nigel d'Aubigny, the probable brother of William d'Aubigny. Lechlade is mentioned in the Doomsday book. William the Conqueror gifted the manor of Lechlade to Henry de Ferrers, one of the noblemen who came across from France with him in 1066. In 1205, Isabella de Ferrers founded the St. John the Baptist nunnery near the river. The nunnery was later upgraded to a priory and the monks built a bridge across the Thames – St John’s Bridge. Monks were some of the few people who had the necessary skills to build a bridge and their labour was free. In 1210 King John granted a market charter to the town. There was a thriving wool trade and the river and roads were important means of transportation. On several occasions, the priory was given the right to collect tolls from the bridge to pay for repairs. However, by 1472, the priory was dissolved due to lack of funds and to provide building materials for the new parish church. The building of St. Lawrence Church started in about 1472 and was completed in 1476. Catherine of Aragon took over the manor of Lechlade in 1501 and she supervised some additional work on the church after a roof fire in 1510. It was at this time that the spire was added. William the Conqueror's standard bearer, Henry de Ferrers was awarded the Midland counties around Chartley for his good work, and Aelgar the Saxon learned much of the disadvantages of being on the losing side. In 1090, Henry de Ferrers built a wooden Norman-style keep at Chartley, neatly placed between Stafford and Tutbury castles to keep a beady eye on any revolting peasants. Henry was created Earl of Chester.
