Tedstone Delamere is not noted by name in the Domesday Survey, but is presumed to have been held by the Delameres under the Earls of Gloucester, similar to Hanley William (Worcs) which was held by Robert Delamenre of the Earl in 1166 and by Thomas Delamere in 1210-12. Like Hanley too, Tedstone passed from the Del;ameres to the Pleseys family towards the end of the 13thc.
