| History | Caldwell belonged to the Abbey of Burton, having been given it by William II as an additional endowment (although it may have possibly belonged to it at the time of the Norman Conquest). Their tenants included members of the Abel family (14th and 15th centuries), the Hollands (from 1428) and the Collingwoods (before Dissolution). After the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the manor of Caldwell was granted by Henry VIII to Sir William Paget. In 1564 his son, Sir Henry Paget, alienated it to Peter Collingwood. On his death in 1587, it passed to his two nieces, Helen (who married John Stone) and Margery. It would seem that John and Helen Stone and Walter and Margery Bickles alienated the manor to Thomas Sanders, son of Alice, wife of Peter Collingwood. In 1653 Thomas’s eldest son, Collingwood Sanders died seised of the manor. By the marriage of Elizabeth, daughter of Samuel Sanders, to John Mortimer, it passed to the Mortimer family. Hans Winthorpe Mortimer, son of Clifford Mortimer (Secretary of the Royal Society, died 1752), sold the manor to Henry Evans. It remained with the Evans family until sold by trustees of the late Miss R. Evans to Sir Henry Des Voeux, whose nephew Charles Milligan inherited it in 1875. The last reference to the lord of the manor was George Dunbar Milligan in 1908. |
