Great Glen was held by Lovet from Hugh de Grandmesnil in 1086, the manor assessed at 17 carucates and 2 bovates of ploughland with a mill and 30 acres of meadow. The overlordship passed from Hugh's son Ivo to tye Earls of Leicester in the reign of Henry I, and from them to their heirs, the Earls of Winchester. This takes us to 1264, and the death of Roger de Quency, the then Earl, when the manor passed to his daughter and her husband, Alan la Zouch, who was already holding Glen as the under-tenant.
The church was granted to Alcester Abbey (Warwickshire) by Ralph the Butler in 1140, and that house retained the patronage until the 15thc.
