From 'Parishes: Upton', in A History of the County of Huntingdon: Volume 3, ed. William Page, Granville Proby and S Inskip Ladds (London, 1936), pp. 113-116 http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/hunts/vol3/pp113-116 [accessed 27 December 2015]. 

The undertenant in 1086 was Fulk [de Beville, Bainvilla], and his descendant Richard de Beville [Beyville], who held a knight's fee in Upton, (fn. 7) died before 1238 leaving three daughters and co-heirs— namely, Alice the wife of David de Malpas otherwise the Bastard, Cecily the wife of Robert de Sibthorpe, and Margery the wife of Geoffrey de Raund. (fn. 8).

The most important pourparty in Upton, which included the advowson of the church, was that of the third daughter, Margery de Beville, who married Geoffrey de Rand or Raund. Geoffrey presented to the church in 1252, (fn. 17) but shortly afterwards his interest had passed to Sir Guy Gobaud of Newball in Stainton (Lincs), who succeeded his father, John Gobaud, in 1258 (fn. 18) and presented to the church of Upton in 1273. John, son of Sir Guy Gobaud, married Margaret, who after his death married Edmund de Colville of Castle Bytham (Lincs) and in 1310 presented to the church as Margaret de Colville widow of John Gobaud. (fn. 19) Guy (d. 1314), son of John Gobaud and Margaret, married Alice daughter of Roger de Colville and sister of Edmund, and they had two sons and a daughter: John, who died childless; Guy, whose son Guy also died childless; and Mabel, who married William Lampert or Lampet.
