| Notes |
- Farley Chamberlayne Manor:
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.

William St John became a Member of Parliament and there is a fine memorial to him in the carved Altar Tomb at the end of the South Wall. It is said that he may have taken part in the lighting of the Armada Beacon that was situated on top of Farley Mount to warn of the impending Spanish Fleet of 1588.
