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 />
