by which John licld the manor of William, who, how- 

 ever, reserved 2j virgatcs of land in demesne.'-' In 

 1218 another agreement was made between Simon de 

 Hal and Arnold de Buketon, the heirs of John dc 

 Buketon and Richard de Hanred." Before 1278 it 

 had passed to William de Lisle.^* In 1284 the tenant 

 was Roger de Lisle,'-' who obtained certain land which 

 William de Hanrcd held when it escheated to the 

 king in 1295.^ John de Lisle made a settlement of 

 the manor in 1334 on himself for life with remainder 

 to his grandson John, son of 

 his daughter Amice and her 

 husband Simon de Lanshull,'" 

 but before 1368 it had passed 

 to Richard Cloun,'- who was 

 still the tenant in 1402.^ It 

 passed before 1446 to Henry 

 Garstang,** probably in right 

 of his wife Elizabeth, who 

 afterwards married Peter 

 Humphrey,^ probably a mem- 

 ber of a family long settled at 

 Barton." The Humphreys 

 held Barton Hanred manor till 

 the middle of the 17th century. 

 They also obtained Barton 



Segrave manor (q.v.),and from this time no distinction 

 seems to have been made between the two manors, 

 which were later known as the manor of Barton Sea- 

 grave or Hanred. Elizabeth's son John" was suc- 

 ceeded in direct succession by William,^ Richard,^ 

 William,^" Richard,** and Nathaniel Humphrey.''- 

 Nathaniel left two daughters, Anne, the wife of Ed- 

 ward Tudor, and Elizabeth, the wife of Thomas 

 Brudenell.''* The manor apparently got into the hands 

 of trustees or mortgagees at this time.''* Sir John 

 Robinson, Lord Mayor of London, and Anne his wife 

 were dealing with it in 1659,*^ and others a little 

 later.** John Bridges states that his father John Bridges 

 bought the manor about 1665 from Mr. Humphrey, 

 Brien Cockayne (Lord Cullen), Lord Mayor of Lon- 

 don, and others,*' and the historian of Northampton- 

 shire was born there in 1666.** John Bridges died in 

 1725. He had been successively appointed Solicitor 

 of the Customs in 1695, Commissioner of the Customs 

 in 171 1, and Cashier of Excise in 1715.*' He was a 

 Fellow of the Royal Society*" and had devoted both his 

 time and money to collecting material for a history of 

 Northamptonshire. His collections were left to his 



brother William, but owing to various misfortunes 

 they were not published till I79l,and then appeared 

 in a form which does not do justice to the great amount 

 of research and mass of accurate information which 

 he had collected. The manors of Barton seem to have 

 been sold and came into the possession of Richard 

 Tibbits before 1 793.*' He was succeeded by Richard 

 John Tibbits, whose daughter and heir, M.irv Isabella, 

 in 1837 married Samuel, tliird 

 Viscount Hood. She died in 

 1904 and was succeeded by her 

 son Francis, fourth Viscount 

 Hood, who died in 1907 and 

 was succeeded by his son 

 Grosvenor Arthur Alexander, 

 fifth Viscount Hood, the 

 present owner.*^ 



At some period in the 13th 

 century part of Barton was 

 granted to Nicholas de Segrave 

 the elder,*' possibly when the 

 manor was in the king's hands 

 after William de Hanred's felony.** It was known as 

 the castle and manor of Barton Segrave, and contained 

 some 12 virgates of land, as well as meadow, pasture, 

 and 20 acres of wood, besides rents.** Nicholas granted 

 it to his younger son Nicholas de Segrave, who died 

 seised in 1322, when it passed to his daughter and heir 

 Maud, the wife of Edmund de Bohun.*' It afterwards 

 reverted to the elder branch of the Segraves*' from

whom it passed to the Mowbrays** and was in the pos- 

 session of John, Duke of Norfolk, in I469.*» Before 

 1331, a manor had been granted to Simon de Drayton 

 and his wife Margaret,*" but in 1 336 they and their son 

 John and his wife Christina quitclaimed it to John,"
