Roger de St. Lo was then owner. He parted with a small portion in 
“ Rueleid,” viz., a manse, a virgate of land, and pannage for swine 
in Wittenham Wood,” to one Walter Brutun of Henton Charterhouse 
whose son, John Brutun, settled it on his daughter Katharine upon 
her marriage with Roger Hamund, of Shockerwick, near Bath. 
Thomas Hamund his son was owner in 1306. About the year 1427 
it was purchased, under the name of ‘‘ Hamund’s lands,” by Walter 
Lord Hungerford, K.G., of Farley Castle. 
The manor and advowson passed out of the St. Lo family to 
George Cantilupe, Baron of Bergavenny, who, dying 1272 without

and Road, there was also land called ‘‘ Wolverton’s Wygnam.” 
These grounds are so named in 1562 in an old rent roll of the 
Hungerford family, as copyholds of the manor of Rowley alias 
Wittenham, granted by George Lord Zouche, St. Maur, and Can- 
tilupe. At Tellisford there were admissions by the steward of the 
same manor so late as 1704. This explains why Rowley manor is 
sometimes described as “in the counties of Somerset and Wilts.” 
Rowley remained in the St. Maur family from 1299 to 1410, 
when it came back to the Zouches, by the marriage of Alice St. 
Maur, an heiress, with Sir William Zouche, afterwards fifth Baron 
Zouche of Harringworth.
