Manor of Frampton, Gloucestershire:

Before the Conquest Frampton was held by Ernesi, and in 1086 Drew son of Pons held 
it of the king; Roger de Lacy also held 1 hide there unjustly. Frampton later passed to 
Drew's nephew, Walter son of Richard son of Pons; Walter, who assumed the surname 
Clifford, made the grant mentioned above of the mill at Frampton c. 1180, and his son 
Walter confirmed Frampton to his younger brother Richard de Clifford in 1200, to hold 
it of Walter. Richard held the manor of FRAMPTON at his death in or before 1213, 
when Walter made fine for the custody of the land and heirs of his brother Richard. 
Another Richard de Clifford, son and heir of Richard, was in possession by 1236 and 
possibly ten years earlier. He was succeeded by Hugh de Clifford, to whom in 1249 
Walter de Clifford confirmed Frampton manor. The overlordship of Walter's successors 
as lords of Cliffordcastle was recorded up to the late 15th century.

Hugh de Clifford, who received the grant of a market and fair at Frampton in 1254, is 
said to have been succeeded in that year by his son John, who in turn died in 1299. A 
John de Clifford was lord of Frampton in 1276 and 1288, but he seems to have been 
succeeded by his son Richard by 1294. John de Clifford had already demised the 
manor to Peter Flory for his life, and in 1296 Richard de Clifford granted a further term. 
By 1303 a life interest in the reversion of the manor, of which ? belonged to John's 
widow Margery as dower, had been conveyed to Robert FitzPain and his wife Isabel, 
and in that year, to provide maintenance for himself and his wife Sarah, education for 
his son, and portions for his daughters, Richard de Clifford conveyed all his interest in 
the manor to Thomas of Berkeley. In 1305 Thomas conveyed the manor to Robert and 
Isabel for a yearly rent of 22 marks. The rent continued to be paid in the mid 17th 
century.

Robert FitzPain died in or before 1315, and his widow Isabel held the manor in 1316 
and 1320. Their son and heir Robert had a high assessment for tax in Frampton in 
1327, and in 1338 settled the manor on John Chideock and his wife Isabel, apparently 
the younger Robert's daughter. Robert was dead perhaps by 1340, when John 
Chideock paid a rent owed by the lord of the manor, and certainly by 1355, when his 
widow Ela quitclaimed her right in Frampton manor to John and Isabel. Their son John 
was lord of the manor in 1366 during his father's lifetime, for in 1370 the elder John 
quitclaimed the manor to his son John. The son died in 1415, leaving as his heir an 
infant son John, but his widow Eleanor held the manor at her death in 1433, and 
Eleanor's second husband, Ralph Bush, held the manor for his life in 1437 when John 
Chideock and his wife Catherine settled the reversion on their daughter and coheir 
apparent, Catherine wife of William Stafford. William and Catherine were in possession 
in 1440; William was dead by 1450, and his widow died in 1479 holding the manor, 
having married secondly John Arundell and thirdly Roger Lewknor, and leaving as her 
heir her son Thomas Arundell.
