The Manor of Alderton 3 rd edition<br />

In an indenture dated April 1480 Alderton Manor was let to Richard<br />

Popham <strong>and</strong> his wife Elizabeth for their lives, the remainder [of the<br />

Manor] to Thom Gore”, (William’s brother) 89 .<br />

Giles’ <strong>and</strong> Elizabeth’s children are known, as well as <strong>some</strong> dates -<br />

Giles was the last of the Gores to have as their arms the simple or three<br />

bulls heads cabossed, After this they quartered other arms with theirs.<br />

This may be because they started marrying with armigerous families!<br />

Thomas I was the eldest son, <strong>and</strong> heir to the estate. He had a brother<br />

Richard <strong>and</strong> three sisters, Margery, Alice <strong>and</strong> Warborough. The latter<br />

married Robert Nicholas of Roundway. 90 ^<br />

89 Gore, T (1666) Syntagma Genealogicum or A genealogical treatise of the<br />

family of the Gores of Aldrington or Aldertonp107<br />

The Overseers rented the Manor to the Pophams but it reverted to Thomas<br />

Gore eventually (The name given in Gore’s book is actually William here, but that<br />

just doesn’t fit with any of the Gores of the time, it is taken to be a mistake,<br />

although presumably the Antiquarian was copying from the original documents?).<br />

It was arranged so that, in the event of Thomas’ death the Manor would go to<br />

his brother Richard or Richard’s heirs.<br />

90 Gore only mentions Thomas <strong>and</strong> Margery, the others are from Jackson.<br />

Jackson made a pencil annotation of Gore's manuscript to mention Richard, but<br />

the other two daughters only appear in Jackson Mss<br />
