The manor, including a church, was held by Henry of Ferrers personally in 1086, and had been held by Bondi in 1066. It was assessed at 8 hides and also contained 20 acres of meadow and 12 arpents of vineyard (approximately 7.5 acres).
In the reign of King Stephen Henry de Ferrers' grandson Robert, Earl of Derby, granted the manor to the Knights Templar who established a preceptory there, but the overlordhip remained with the Ferrers family until 1266, when it passed to the king.
The church of All Saints is not connected to the preceptory, but is the successor of the Domesday church. Its advowson followed the descent of the manor.
