The Manor of Alderton 3rd edition The Mortimer family mainly held land in the Welsh Marches and their history is intimately tied up with that area and the centuries long period when England was absorbing Wales, not without serious and effective resistance from the Welsh. Alderton can never have been a major part of their concerns, but they held for a long time. They had land in the area in the mid thirteenth century and beyond: Ralph de Mortemer held Tockenham, Bradfield, Surrendell and Alderton in knights fee in 1242-3 12 . The Mortimores were involved with affairs that affected the entire kingdom, and this entanglement with the great and the notso-good resulted in the “ignominious end of the first Earl of March in 1330” 13 although the family held on to its Wiltshire estates until later. The Poyntz’s had much more local connections and it seems possible that they held the Manor until late in the fourteenth century. The family was mainly located in the west and south of Gloucestershire and the north of Wiltshire right from the Conquest. Written records for the village do not start before the thirteenth century - one of the earliest is dated 1249, a report of the Wiltshire Eyre (Court) - William Pache was found drowned in a marl pit in Kyngeswet. The first finder comes and is not suspected. Judgement : misadventure. The townships of Aldrinton' Lukinton' Sopeworth and Kyngeswod did not come fully to the inquest etc so they are in mercy 14 that is Alderton was fined for not sending the correct number of people to the Eyre. Court records are some of the earliest that survive, and provide information on people living in the area. 12 Victoria County History for Wiltshire (henceforth VCH Wiltshire ) ii pp111-112 13 McKisack M (1959) The Fourteenth Century 1307 – 1399 The Oxford History of England, OUP p255 14 Meekings CAF (ed) (1961) Crown Pleas of the Wiltshire Eyre 1249 WANHS Record Branch Vol XI no 195 13
