MANOR of ROXTON (Rokesden)

In 1086 Roxton Manor was held by twelve socmen. The first tenants found holding this 
property after the Survey are the Bowels; in 1219 Henry de Bowels was accused by 
Aubrey Espec of taking homage and relief in her free tenement in Roxton. In 1227 
John de Bowels brought a suit against Nicholas de Themes here, and in 1235 one of 
the same name is found benefiting the monks of Pipewell by a grant in this parish. 
John de Bowels held the property in 1246-7, and in the latter part of the 13th century 
he was proved to hold one and a half knights' fees in Roxton. By 1302 these knights' 
fees had passed to Alexander Bosun, and the descent follows that of Bosoms in 
Stagsden from then till 1423, after which it follows that of Bosoms in Wootton until 
1447, when Margaret the wife of William Bosun died seised of the manor. It then 
passed to Robert Olney, husband of her younger daughter Goditha. The next mention 
of Roxton Manor is in 1518, when Robert Throckmorton died seised of it, being 
succeeded by his son George. The latter held ittill 1541, in which year he transferred 
it to the Crown in exchange for other manors.
