3 unusual facts about Manor of Dyrham


Manor of Dyrham

The Manor of Dyrham was a former manorial estate in the parish of Dyrham in South Gloucestershire, England.

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.

In 1308 by letters patent Russell was appointed 1 of 3 justiciaries for the Channel Islands to make enquiry into encroachments to the royal revenues.
