| History | Descent of manor
At the time of the Domesday survey in 1086, Stapenhill belonged to the Abbey of Burton, although there was another manor there belonging to Nigel de Stafford. The Burton Abbey manor remained as such until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 1530s. It was briefly with the collegiate church founded on the site of the dissolved abbey, but when that it was itself dissolved, the manor was granted by King Henry VIII in 1545 to his advisor, Sir William Paget. The manor remained with the Pagets, later Marquesses of Anglesey. In 1895 the Marquess of Anglesey was still said to be lord of the manor. |
