History	At the time of the Domesday survey in 1086, Tibshelf was part of the King’s own lands and held by William Peverel. In the reign of King John it was held by the Heriz family. In the late 14th century it passed by marriage to Roger Belers, and a Belers heiress conveyed it to Robert de Swyllinton, who died possessed of it in 1429. It is supposed to have been the subject of a law-suit between Lord Cromwell and the Pierrepont family, who seem to have won the suit, as Sir William Pierrepont died possessed of it in 1513. The manor was, however, part of the estates granted by King Edward VI in 1552 for the endowment of the new foundation of St Thomas’s Hospital in London. In 1895 the manorial rights still belonged to St Thomas’s Hospital.
