In the twelfthc entury Robert deB ellomonte, third Earl of Leiaester (seep . 31) married the heiresst o the estate. This in common with all his other property wae confisc:T.ted at the barons rising in 1175, when the Lordship seems to have been granted by the King to the Abbey of Leicester and it does not Frppear to have been reconveyed to him at the time of his pardon in 1177. Possibly he did not claim it as it was held by the abbey in whlch he was so deeply interested. In 1552 it was granted by Edward VI to Sir Thomas Farnham,whose heiress -Katheri- nmea rrieci Sir Thcmas Beawnont, thus the estate reverted after three hundred ana eighty years toI ts former ownersa nd. it continued in the familyu ntil the death of Sir George Beaurnont in 1737
