  • MERRIDGE, held in 1066 by Alwig Banneson, was in 1086 held of Alfred d'Epaignes by Ranulph, probably Ranulph of Stringston. (fn. 70) The overlordship descended with Nether Stowey, and Merridge was held of that honor until the early 17th century. (fn. 71) From Ranulph Merridge probably descended with Stringston to a branch of the Fichet family in the 12th century and later to the Furneaux family. It continued to be held with Stringston and in 142 p was assigned with Perry in Wembdon and Shurton in Stogursey to Robert Greyndour (d. 1443) and his wife Joan. (fn. 72) Joan, who married secondly Sir John Barre, died in 1485, (fn. 73) but by that date Merridge seems to have passed to the Stawells, coheirs of the Furneaux family. (fn. 74) In 1508 Robert Stawell, son of Edward and grandson of Robert (d. 1506), died leaving the manor to his son John, then a minor. (fn. 75) John was succeeded in 1541 (fn. 76) by his grandson (Sir) John. The manor descended with Durston (fn. 77) until 1653 when it was sold to Richard Bovet after forfeiture. (fn. 78) The Stawell family recovered the manor after the Restoration and it continued to descend with Durston until the death of John, Lord Stawell, in 1692. (fn. 79) In 1702 the trustees for the sale of Stawell's estates conveyed the manor to Francis Bennet, who dismembered it. (fn. 80) Bennet left the remnant of the manor, after the death of his wife, to William, Lord Stawell, and his male heirs. William was in possession by 1733 (fn. 81) and was succeeded in 1742 by his brother Edward, Lord Stawell (d. 1755). Edward left Merridge in trust for his daughter Mary, wife of Henry Bilson Legge and later Baroness Stawell. Mary (d. 1780) was succeeded by her son Henry, Lord Stawell, who in 1789 sold the lordship to William Hawker of Poundisford in Pitminster. (fn. 82) In 1790 Hawker agreed to sell it to Sir James Esdaile and others, (fn. 83) probably in trust for Edward Jeffries (d. c. 1812), and Edward's grandson, Edward Jeffries Esdaile. (fn. 84) E. J. Esdaile died in 1867 leaving a son, also Edward Jeffries Esdaile (d. 1881), (fn. 85) whose successor Charles E. J. Esdaile was succeeded c. 1923 (fn. 86) by his son William. The lands were divided and sold in 1924. Lordship and sporting rights were retained by the Esdaile family but the lordship was not recorded later. (fn. 87)
