The location of the Deorham is Hinton Hill near to Dyrham in South Gloucestershire.
The Manor of Dyrham was a former manorial estate in the parish of Dyrham in South Gloucestershire, England.
He was English by birth, and may have been a relative of the Roger de Cantock who held the manor of Dyrham, Gloucestershire in 1347; the family had earlier connections with Bristol.
The first of the Denys family to have resided at Dyrham rather than at the Denys ancestral manor of Siston, appears to have been Sir William Denys(1470–1533), son of Sir Walter Denys(d.1505), who is depicted on the Denys monumental brass in the Church of Olveston, which manor was also held by the family, and Agnes Danvers.
