        Epsom and Ewell History:
        ... the manor of FITZNELLS .... ... Richard was imbecile from his birth, but held the estate in demesne as of fee until 10 June 1438, on which day John Iwardby (alias Everby) took possession and was succeeded by his son John, who affirmed that his father held the manor of the gift of Robert Leversegge. In 1542 it was held by Dame Joan St. John, who was daughter and heir of Sir John Iwardby, and her son John sold it (1562) to Edmund Horde, in whose family it remained for more than a century, Thomas Horde settling it on his son William in tail male in ...http://www.epsomandewellhistoryexplorer.org.uk/Manors.html


        In response to your Iwardby query, you may wish to consult the book, Fitznells Cartulary, edited by C.A.F. Meekings and Philip Shearman, published in 1968 as Surrey Record Society, Vol. 26. On pages cx-cxxiv of that book is a good account of the Iwardby family.

        According to Meekings and Shearman, Sir John Iwardby, of Fitznells, Surrey (died 1525), married (1st) Katherine Neville (died prior to 1476); (2nd) before 1485 Sanche Carewe, daughter and co-heiress of> Nicholas Carew, of Carshalton, Surrey; and (3rd) Jane, daughter of John Agmondesham, of Leatherhead. Sir John Iwardby was the father of one son, John, by his 1st marriage, who died in infancy; and, by his 2nd marriage, he had one daughter, Jane (wife of John St. John and Nicholas Saunder). Jane Iwardby inherited her father's manor at Fitznells.

        Very interesting. We have a conflict between the descent in the Fitznells Cartulary and the descent recorded in the window of Mapledurham church, Oxon. Perhaps the trouble is that there were so
        many John Iwardbys? I have numbered the from 1 to 4 for later discussion:
