Ralphe de Imworth

From Dittopedia

Ralph de Imworth (died 1223) owned the Manor of Immeworth during the reign of Henry III. In 1229, another Ralph de Imworth (presumably his son) embarked on a lawsuit against a Molesey man concering a fishpond. Several years later, he obtained exemption from tallage -- i.e. the toll payable to an overlord -- for both himself and his manorial tenants. The second Ralph was succeeded by Reginald de Imworth. The manor of Imworth was eventually sold by the widow of Sir John Hill to Dudley Carleton, who was created Baron Carleton of Imber Court in 1626. ^[2]

28 July. St. Paul's. Surrey. Order to the sheriff of Surrey to take into the king’s hand without delay the land formerly of Ralph of Imworth in Imworth, with the hundred of Elmbridge, which land and hundred the king committed to Robert de Barville for as long as it pleases the king, in order to sustain him in the king’s service, and the sheriff is to keep it safely so that nothing is removed until the king orders otherwise. Witness H. etc. ^[3]
