St Mary's Church
St Mary's Church, the parish church built in the 14th century, is now a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.[3] It was declared redundant on 1 March 1993, and was vested in the Trust on 10 August 1998.[4]
Manor
During the reign of King Richard I (1189-1199) the manor was held by John Damarell[5] (Latinized to de Albamara), whose male descendants held it for many generations. It then passed to the Trenchard family and thence to Tremain[6] (alias Tremayn) of Collacombe.[7]
Historic estates
Within the parish are situated various historic estates including:
- Norreys,[8] a seat of the le Norreys family until the reign of King Edward III (1327-1377),[9] when the heiress married Sir John Fortescue (fl.1422) of Shepham,[10] Captain of the captured Castle of Meaux, 25 miles (40 kilometres) north-east of Paris, following the Siege of Meaux during the Hundred Years' War.
- Boterford.[11]
