Manor of South Stoke, Sussex:

King Edgar in 975 granted to his kinsman Osweard land at Stoke which from the 
description of bounds seems likely to represent the later South Stoke and Offham 
manors. Wulfnoth, a free man, held four hides at SOUTH STOKE in 1066, and Ernald 
held the same of earl Roger in 1086. The manor was later generally held of the rape 
when not resumed into the earl's demesne. At the division of the d'Aubigny inheritance 
it was assigned in 1244 to the share of Roger de Somery and his wife.

Since Robert de Caux was dealing with South Stoke in the early 13th century, 
members of the same family mentioned locally in the 12th may also have held it: 
Robert (fl. 1139-40), Hugh, who held three fees of Arundel rape in 1166, and Godfrey 
(fl. 1180). Robert (fl. 1205) in 1207 accepted Hugh de Nevill as mesne tenant 
between himself and the earl of Arundel, the agreement being ratified by the next earl 
in 1222. Hugh seems in fact to have displaced Robert, since in 1227 he was licensed 
to lease the manor for ten years to the bishop of Chichester. He died c. 1234. His 
widow Beatrice de Fay had the manor as dower and was still alive in 1241; in 1242-3, 
however, three fees in South Stoke and Warningcamp were held by John de Nevill. 
John (d. 1246) was succeeded by his son Hugh (d. 1269), whose brother and heir 
John (d. c. 1282) was succeeded by his son, another Hugh, during whose minority 
Albin de Bevery had the keeping. The second Hugh came of age in 1298, settled the 
manor on his son, also Hugh, in 1323-4, and had died by 1336. It is not clear whether 
Master Thomas de Nevill, who held land in the parish in 1341-2, was lord of South 
Stoke, but in 1357-8 Sir John de Nevill sold the manor to Richard FitzAlan, earl of 
Arundel.
