Manor Profile
Titchfield, Hampshire· Titchfield Hundred· 1086 – 1550
Also known as: Meone
At the time of the Domesday survey, Meon belonged to the bishop of Winchester. It had previously been held by a certain Toui, who rented one half from the king and held the other by grant from the earl of Hereford. On Toui's death, the whole appears to have been granted by the king to the bishop (VCH Hampshire Vol. 3, pp. 220-233).
No further mention of Meon is found until 1510, when Thomas Uvedale granted to Henry Uvedale, his heir, lands and rent in Meon. The property then follows the history of Bromwich until 1550, when Thomas Wriothesley, Earl of Southampton, died seised of the same, then for the first time called the manor of Meon (VCH Hampshire Vol. 3, pp. 220-233).
After this date there is no further reference to the so-called manor, which probably became merged in that of Bromwich (VCH Hampshire Vol. 3, pp. 220-233).
