| History | At the time of the Domesday survey in 1086 Egginton was held by Geoffrey de Alselin. It remained with the Alselins until the marriage of a daughter of Ralph de Alselin (who possessed it in 1166) to Thomas Bardolf. A William Bardolf was in possession of it in 1242-1243, and Hugh Bardolf in 1346. The manor has a complicated descent among the under-tenants, staring with Azelin in 1086, moving on to Geremund, Ralph Fitzgermund, William Fitzralph, and Robert, Bishop of Worcester, after whose death in 1195, the manor seems to have been divided into moieties. One moiety descended through William de Grendon, among others, to Robert Walkelin, then to his two daughters, one of whom married Sir John Chandos (died 1370), the other, marrying Sir William Stafford. This moiety descended to the Poles towards the end of the 14th century and remained with the Poles for several centuries. In 1817 it belonged to Edward Sacheverell Chandos Pole. Another moiety was split into several shares for the five daughters of William de Stafford, but was subsequently re-united in the Lathbury family in the 15th century (Bulmer claims that this was a subordinate manor originally known as Heathhouses, later Hargate). It then passed to the Leigh family at the beginning of the 16th century. On the death of Sir Henry Leigh in 1622, it passed through the marriage of his daughter, Anne, to Simon Every (created a baronet in 1641). In 1788 Sir Henry Every and Sacheveal Pole were recorded in the enclosure award as lords of the manor. In trade directories dated 1848- 1932 the lordship is recorded as being with members of the Every family.
