        In 1086 FARLEY CHAMBERLAYNE was held .... before 1354, in which year Thomas Missenden, described as the king's groom, obtained a grant of free warren in Farley Chamberlayne. (fn. 17) He died about 1369, and his wife Isabel soon afterwards married Sir John Golafre, (fn. 18) who presented to the church of Farley Chamberlayne in 1378. (fn. 19) In 1394 Sir Edmund Missenden, son of Thomas and Isabel, died seised of the manor, leaving as his heir his son Bernard, who was under age, (fn. 20) and the next year the king granted the custody of the manor with the marriage of the heir to Sir Bernard Brocas, senior, and to Juliana widow of Sir Edmund. (fn. 21) Sir Bernard Brocas died in 1396, (fn. 22) and Juliana married as her second husband Sir Thomas Shelley, who held the manor in her right until he was beheaded for high treason in 1400. (fn. 23) ... (fn. 24) In 1406 Bernard son and heir of Edmund Missenden came of age, (fn. 25) but apparently did not succeed at once to the manor of Farley Chamberlayne, as in 1428 John Boys was stated to be holding half a knight's fee in Farley Chamberlayne which Nicholas de Ocle formerly held. (fn. 26)

        Katherine Missenden, daughter and heir of Bernard, married John Iwardby son of John Iwardby of Mapledurham, (fn. 27) and was followed by her son Nicholas Iwardby, who was confirmed in the lands of his maternal ancestor Thomas Missenden in 1449/50 and died in 1462. (fn. 28) His son and heir John Iwardby granted the manor in 1475 to Roger Gery, sub-dean of the college of Wallingford (co. Berks.), (fn. 29) who in 1482 regranted it to his son John Iwardby, junior, in tail. (fn. 30) On the death of the latter in 1525 his daughter Joan St. John, widow of John St. John, inherited the manor, (fn. 31) and made a settlement of it in 1544 on herself for life with remainder to her son John St. John and his wife Elizabeth in tail male. (fn. 32) The manor thus passed into the hands of the St. John family, with whom it remained for three centuries...

        In 1567 John St. John dealt with the manor by recovery. (fn. 33) He was followed by his second son (fn. 34) William St. John, who continued to hold the manor until his death in 1609, (fn. 35) when it passed to his son Henry. (fn. 36) Henry died in 1621, leaving a son and heir John, (fn. 37) who came of age in 1624, but died three years later. (fn. 38) His only son, born after his death, lived only one day, dying on 25 February 1628, and the manor consequently passed to his brother Oliver St. John. (fn. 39) From that date Farley Chamberlayne followed the descent of the manor of King's Somborne (q.v.) until 1830, when it was purchased of the St. John - Mildmay family by Mr. Thomas Woodham. (fn. 40)
