Walter de Gant gave land in Hagworthingham to Bardney Abbey. The Abbot
of Bardney (“Placito de Warranto,” p. 409), claimed the right to have a
gallows in Hagworthingham, as well as in Edlington and other places.
Other owners were Laurence de Dikeby, who died 1270, Robert de Altomonte,
1274, William de Saxill, in 1280. Gilbert de Hagworthingham is named in
an Assize Roll (No. 478, John A.D. 1202), Walter de Hagworthingham and
his son Philip, are named in an Assize Roll, 5 Ed. III. 1331. In the
14th century the Cupledyke family had land in Hagworthingham, _viz._,
Roger de Cupledyke, who died 1324, and Alexander who died, 1335. In the
15 century, Thomas Blunt held a manor here, of the Duchy of Lancaster,
dying in 1468. {76} The great family of Welles, also connected with the
Dymokes, acquired lands here, which were forfeited after the battle of
Loose-coat field, when Sir Robert Welles was attainted and executed at
Doncaster, for espousing the Lancastrian cause, 1470. In the next
century the old county family of the Hansards held a manor here, by
Knight’s service, of the Honour of Bolingbroke. Sir William Hansard died
1520, leaving as his heir his granddaughter Elizabeth. Robert Marbury,
in 1545 died, seized of a third part of a manor in this parish, which he
left to his son William. Humphrey Littlebury, of East Kirkby, died Nov.
3rd, 1558, seized of a manor here, which was connected with the superior
manor of Herby (probably Hareby, and equivalent to the Honour of
Bolingbroke), which he held of the Queen (Elizabeth) by fealty. He also
held another manor here, of the Queen’s manor of Greenwich, which had
belonged to Bardney Abbey; the gift, as stated above, of Walter de Gaunt.
