Sir James Berners was in possession of the manor of Iseldon Berners by 1386, but forfeited the manor on his impeachment in 1388. [Cal. Inq. Misc. v, p. 15; Cal. Pat. 1385-9, 548] The manor, then consisting of a ruined messuage, 243 a., rents, and works, [Cal. Inq. Misc. v, pp. 15-16] was granted in 1389 to John Innocent and John Nottingham, the king's clerks, for ten years, paying 20 marks a year. [Cal. Fine R. 1383-91, 283] In 1391, however, it was found that the wardship of James's son and heir Richard should go to the bishop, reserving to the Crown the fee simple when the entail should end.[Cal. Pat. 1388-92, 443; Cal. Close, 1389-92, 405-7] In 1405-6 the manor, said to be held in chief, was settled on Richard Berners (d. 1412) and his wife Isabel.
Richard's widow Philippa (d. 1421) and her husband Sir Thomas Lewknor held a third of the manor as her dower, while the bishop held the rest as guardian of Margery, Richard's daughter and heir. In 1421 the whole estate passed to Margery, by then wife of John Ferriby, and it was confirmed that it was not held of the king. [Cal. Close, 1419-22, 2, 24]
In 1428 the 1/2 knight's fee was held by John Ferriby, [Feud. Aids, iii.] and Margery and John conveyed the manor to feoffees in 1435. After Ferriby died without issue in 1441, Margery married Sir John Bourchier, Lord Berners (d. 1474), and the manor was settled on their heirs. At Margery's death in 1475 it passed to her grandson John Bourchier, Lord Berners (d. 1533) [Complete Peerage, ii. 153].
