Turville was held by Nigel d’Aubigny, and from him by Roger on 1086. Before the Conquest it was held by Thorbert, a man of Earl Aelfgar. It was assessed at 5 hides with woodland for 100 pigs. By 1226 the tenants were the Marstons. In that year Isabella de Turville, widow of Niel de Marston, sued Ralph son of John de Marston for her dower in Turville. Subsequently the manor passed to Eustace, son of John de Morteyn of Marston, through the gift of his mother Constance, and this family retained the manor at least until the early 15thc. The church was given by Niel de Marston to St Albans Abbey.
