'Shangton', in A History of the County of Leicestershire: Volume 5, Gartree Hundred, (London, 1964) pp. 293-297. British History Online https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/leics/vol5/pp293-297 [accessed 24 March 2024]

In 1360 Robert, son of Robert de Wileby, granted to Thomas Drakelowe and Elizabeth his wife all his lands in Shangton and Hardwick for the life of their son Thomas, who had probably married an Alice Willoughby, perhaps Robert's daughter. In 1366 Thomas Drakelowe is referred to as lord of Shangton. The manor passed, again apparently through a woman, to Thomas and Eleanor Chaumbre, who received the manor by a complicated series of transactions in 1428. Thomas Chaumbre was still lord of the manor in 1444 when he manumitted a villein, but by 1452 the manor had probably passed to Sir William Vaux of Harrowden (Northants.). Vaux forfeited the estate with his other possessions in 1461, and in 1464 it was granted to Ralph Hastings. After 1485 it was restored to Nicholas, 1st Baron Vaux, who died in 1523, seised of the manor which was still then held of the manor of Stonton Wyville. In 1557 Nicholas's grandson sold the manors of Shangton and Hardwick to John and Dorothy Wyrley.
