The manor was held by Leofwin in 1066. Syde was awarded to William fitzOsbern, cousin of William the Conqueror, who in turn awarded it to Ansfrid, Abbot of Cormeilles. In 1086 the under tenant was Turstin. A priest is also recorded in Domesday. The overlordship of the manor later passed with the honor of Cormeilles, descending after the early 13th century with Elkstone manor, and came into the possession of the Lords of Berkeley in the early 14thc.
