Plantagenet Thames Ditton

From Dittopedia

There were at least two manors in medieval Thames Ditton:

  • the Manor of Weston, which belonged to the Abbey of Barking, Essex, for centuries, and
  • the Manor of Immeworth (or Imworth), which belonged to Ralph de Imworth in the reign of Henry III. [2]

According to the Chancery Rolls of 1212, King John was entertained at a residence of some size in Ditton belonging to Geoffrey Fitz Pierre, the Chief Justice, during a royal journey from Chertsey to London. [2]
