Manor Profile
Boxgrove, West Sussex· Box and Stockbridge Hundred· 1349 – 1780
Also known as: Oldebery, Eldebery
Thomas atte More held land at Oldbury in 1349, dying in 1374 holding of Sir Luke de Poynings. By 1517 Humphrey Hiberden held. John and Thomas Hiberden sold manors of Oldbury and Seabeach to Richard Sackville in 1540.
Sackville made leases, and the manors passed to Lord Clinton, who granted them to Edward VI. A 1608 survey shows the manor under lease to John Holney (from 1551, for 60 years), described as "a ruinous house and 60 acres of arable and pasture."
Sir William Morley of Halnaker was in tenure in 1650. William Cawley of Chichester purchased in the Parliamentary sale. At the Restoration the manor reverted to the Crown. During most of the 18th century it was leased to the Dukes of Leeds.
