PIRTON

Pirigtun (viii cent.); Pyritune (x cent.); Peritune (xi cent.); Periton (xiii cent.); Pyryton, Puriton (xv cent.); Pyrton, Pyerton (xvii cent.).

This parish lies between the roads from Tewkesbury and Pershore to Worcester. Branch roads connecting these two pass through Pirton. The ground slopes from north to south, the highest point being 194 ft. at the extreme north, and the lowest about 90 ft. on the southern boundary. The village is a mile south-west of Wadborough station on the Bristol and Birmingham branch of the Midland railway.

The church stands on the top of a hill with the village to the north of it. The rectory is some distance to the west and to the south of it is Pirton Court, formerly the home of the Folliotts, and known as Folliotts Court, now the residence of Viscount Deerhurst ...

... Richard Beauchamp Earl of Warwick had granted the manor, claimed it, apparently successfully, against Richard's co-heirs (fn. 41) and granted it in 1482 to the Abbot and convent of Tewkesbury, (fn. 42) presumably in performance of the will of the Earl of Warwick.

It was held under the monastery by lessees, and on 20 July 1535 the abbot leased it to Francis Folliott and John his son, and the heirs male of Francis. (fn. 43) At the Dissolution the monastery was receiving £6 12s. 4d. rents of assize from free and customary tenants, and £5 6s. 8d. farm of the demesne land. (fn. 44) In July 1545 the reversion of the manor leased as above, with the rent of £13 6s. and one pound of cummin reserved on that lease, and the advowson of the rectory were granted in fee to James Gunter and William Lewes, (fn. 45) who immediately sold them to John Folliott, (fn. 46) owner of the manor of Pirton Court, with which Pirton Power has since descended. (fn. 47)
