    HINTON ST. GEORGE

    ...

    Robert de Barnevill had certainly ceased to hold Hinton by 1241, and he may have been only a life tenant. A possible heir, Ralph de Barnevill, was a Marshal tenant at Hilmarton (Wilts.) in the same year. (fn. 78) But already by 1233 the king committed to Theobald de Engleskevill during pleasure the land in Hinton of Philip Denebaud, an adherent of the rebellious Richard Marshal, earl of Pembroke, a grant soon afterwards cancelled in favour of Nicholas of St. Brides. (fn. 79) Custody of Robert de Barnevill's land was still being disputed in 1242–3. (fn. 80)

    Philip Denebaud, who also possessed property at Portskewet (Mon.), near Chepstow, and who is said to have married Alice, daughter and heir of John Gifford, evidently recovered the estate. He gave half to his eldest son William on William's marriage, and later half to his third son Hamon. (fn. 81) William died before his father and was succeeded by his son Philip, a minor, (fn. 82) who apparently remained in occupation until at least 1303. (fn. 83) Meanwhile Hamon had died while returning from the Holy Land c. 1282, leaving his son William as his heir. (fn. 84) William Denebaud, probably the same man, occurs in 1303 as grantee of lands by Philip Denebaud, (fn. 85) and by 1307 he was evidently the principal occupier in Hinton. (fn. 86)

    William was still alive in 1317, (fn. 87) but by 1346 was succeeded by Thomas, and Thomas on his death in 1362 by his son John, a minor. (fn. 88) John came of age in 1371 but died in 1390 leaving another John as his heir. (fn. 89) In the dispute which arose concerning the tenure lasting until 1398 John's holding was described as half the manor, though this was evidently an error for half a fee. (fn. 90)

    ¶John died in 1429 leaving a daughter, Elizabeth, then or shortly afterwards married to William Poulett or Paulet. (fn. 91) Thus began the connexion with that family which lasted for nearly five centuries and a half. William died in 1488, apparently very old. (fn. 92) His widow survived until 1497, though their son, Sir Amias, had been in actual possession since 1487. (fn. 93) Amias, soldier and public servant, (fn. 94) seems to have retired to Chaffcombe before his death in 1538, when he was succeeded by his eldest son Sir Hugh (d. 1573), (fn. 95) also a soldier and governor of Jersey. (fn. 96) His son, Sir Amias (d. 1588), best known as keeper of Mary, Queen of Scots, succeeded him, and was himself succeeded by his second son Sir Anthony (d. 1600). Anthony's son John was raised to the peerage in 1627 as Baron Poulett, and was fined for his support of the Royalist cause. (fn. 97) After his death in 1649 the manor descended with the barony, which became an earldom in 1706, until 1973 when the 8th and last Earl Poulett died childless and the earldom was extinguished. By the time of his death the earl had sold most of his property in Hinton, but retained the lordship of the manor. (fn. 98)

    Margaret married first Warin de Noneton and then Philip de Cauntelo, (fn. 44) the latter being in possession by 1267. (fn. 45) By 1286 this half had descended to Margaret's son Baudry de Noneton (d. c. 1310) (fn. 46) who left a daughter and heir Margery, wife of Robert de Pudele. (fn. 47) By 1314 it had passed to Ralph of Stocklinch, who still held it in 1327, (fn. 48) and by 1344 to Roger of Stocklinch. (fn. 49) In 1390 John Denebaud, son of Thomas (d. 1362), (fn. 50) died holding this estate, evidently in right of his grandmother Joan Stocklinch, wife of William Denebaud. (fn. 51) John's son, also John, who was involved in two armed conflicts over lands in Chaffcombe, one with the lord of the other estate, (fn. 52) died in 1429. (fn. 53) His widow Florence was in possession in 1431, (fn. 54) and ownership then passed to their daughter Elizabeth (d. 1497), wife of William Poulett (d. 1488). (fn. 55) Sir Amias Poulett, son of Elizabeth, who died at Chaffcombe in 1538, was succeeded in turn by his son Sir Hugh (d. 1573) and grandson Sir Amias (d. 1588). (fn. 56) The property passed from the last to his son Anthony (d. 1600), whose son John purchased the other half of the manor in 1613. (fn. 57)
