Manor of Addington, Surrey:

Before the Domesday Survey Addington is unrecorded. In 1086 Tezelin the Cook held 
of the king 1 hide, in the time of King Edward assessed at 8 hides and then held by 
Godric. There was a wood worth twenty hogs and it was valued at 100s. In the 12th 
century Bartholomew de Chesney held part of Addington by the service of a dish, of 
whose gift is not known. Richard I granted it to Peter son of the Mayor of London (i.e. 
of Henry Fitz Aylwyn, the first mayor) with Isabella the heiress of Bartholomew de 
Chesney. Afterwards King John granted the manor to Ralph Parmentier, who married 
Joan the younger daughter of Peter. This Ralph was a merchant tailor and citizen of 
London. Peter's elder daughter Margaret, who married Ralph de Clere, apparently was 
childless. On the death of Ralph Parmentier the manor came back into the king's 
hands and was granted to William Aguillon, Joan's second husband. From him this 
moiety was called AGUILLONDS, AGLANDS and so on in various corruptions. He, too, 
held the manor by serjeanty of making a hotchpotch in a yellow dish in the king's 
kitchen on the day of his coronation, himself or by deputy. The dish was called Girunt, 
or if sage were added Maupigernoun. In 1219 William Aguillon and Joan conveyed to 
Henry Bataille half a virgate of land in Addington. They had a son Robert, who was a 
devoted Royalist in the civil wars of the reign of Henry III. In 1248 he obtained a grant 
of free warren in his demesne lands of Addington and in 1270 licence to embattle his 
house there. Robert, who died in February 1285–6, left a daughter Isabella, who 
married Hugh Bardolf. The manor remained in this family for some generations and was 
called Bardolf's. In 1303 Hugh Bardolf died, and in 1318 Isabella enfeoffed James de 
Moun, by whom it was conveyed to herself for life with remainder to her son Thomas 
Bardolf and his heirs. The manor devolved on John Bardolf in 1328 and on John's son 
William in 1363. He in 1379 granted the manor to William de Walcott for life, with 
reversion to his son William. Thomas, the eldest son and heir of William, whom he 
succeeded in 1385, joined the Earl of Northumberland in his rebellion and died of 
wounds received at the battle of Bramham Moor in 1405, leaving two daughters, who 
divided the properties. Joan the wife of Sir William Phelip Lord Bardolf retained the 
Norfolk estates of Wormegay. Ann, the other co-heiress, married Sir William Clifford. 
Whether the manor of Addington descended to Thomas Bardolf or, under the above 
settlement, to his brother William does not appear.

In 1446 William Uvedale was granted leave to alienate the manor to Sir William 
Bokeland, Richard Walsh, Robert White and John Woodward, trustees for John Leigh. 
His descendant Nicholas son of John Leigh (who died in 1509), on attaining his 
majority in 1516 received licence to enter in the manor of Addington or Bardolff or 
Auguillondys. He built the mansion-house called Addington Place and died in 1581. 
His heir was his grandson Oliph Leigh. Sir Oliph Leigh's claim to present his dish at the 
coronation of James I was left unanswered. [Victoria County History, A History of the 
County of Surrey: Volume 4, H.E. Malden (editor), 1912, Pages 164-168]

NOTE: I have James Leigh, ancestor of the John Leigh mentioned in the latter part of 
the above article, holding Addington before 1369. My sources for it are not great, and 
possibly the acquisition of Addington did not occur until one or two (or even more) 
generations later in the Leigh family.
