 Cicely BlanchminsterBORN_SHORT ± 1304 of Binhamy Castle, Stratton, Cornwall, England Married 1329 Binhamy Castle, Stratton, Cornwall, England (at most 39 years married) to:  Thomas de Neville, son of Jollan de Neville and Margaret Fytting.BORN_SHORT ± 1300 Rolleston, Nottingham, England, DIED_SHORT before 1368 also...Thomas Nevill of Barkham Sir. Thomas de Neville, Knight (They were not related to the famous Nevilles of Bisham, Billingbear & elsewhere). Their ancestor, William Neville, was the valet to St. Thomas Cantilupe, the Bishop of Hereford [and Chancellor of England], who sold him the manor in 1279. I have traced the history of the descent of the manor in the Victoria County History of Berkshire. The most notable of its owners were Sir Thomas Neville whose daughter Agnes (sometimes styled Anne de Neville) brought by marriage the manor to Gilbert Bullock of Arborfield, whose family held it until the end of the sixteenth century. We may scent a little romance in this marriage. Gilbert's father, Robert Bullock, had been trustee for the Crown of certain land in Barkham supposed to belong to John Mautravers, and forfeited by him to the king on account of his treason. To this land Agnes made a successful claim, on the ground that she had been wrongfully dispossessed of it by Mautravers, and Robert Bullock was authorized to make it over to her in 1335. Then finding Mistress Agnes a considerable heiress he arranged a marriage between her and his son Gilbert. The Bullocks sold the manor with that of Arborfield to Edward Standen in whose family it remained for some time. At the end of the eighteenth century the manor was purchased by Lady Gower and was held by the Hon. Admiral Leveson Gower and his descendants, until it was bought by Mr. John Walter whose grandson is now the lord of the manor, although the manor house has been purchased by Mr. A. N. Garland.
