Per Wikipedia w:Scrivelsby:

The manor of Scrivelsby is listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as "Scrivelesbi"[2] and was held in-chief from the king. It then comprised 89 households, 16 villagers, 11 smallholders and 30 freemen, with 8.5 ploughlands, a meadow of 5 acres (0.020 km2), woodland of 100 acres (0.40 km2), a mill and a church. In 1086 the manor was transferred to Robert "the Bursar",[3] also known as Robert "Despencer",[4] but shortly after was granted by the king to Robert Marmion, lord of Fountenay in Normandy, to be held by grand serjeanty on condition that he should perform the duty of King's Champion.[4] The Marmions had historically been Champions to the Dukes of Normandy and King Henry I wanted to re-establish that relationship for his English crown. The Marmion family, whose chief seat in England was Tamworth Castle, then in Warwickshire,[5] died out in the male line in 1291, on the death of Philip Marmion, 5th feudal baron of Tamworth, who left four daughters and co-heiresses.[6][4] His fourth daughter Joan Marmion (d.1341),[7] whose quarter share of her paternal inheritance included the manor of Scrivelsby, married Sir Thomas de Ludlow,[4] by whom she had a son John de Ludlow, who died without issue, and a daughter[4] or great granddaughter[8] Margaret de Ludlow, who married Sir John Dymoke, who thereby inherited the manor of Scrivelsby and the feudal duty of acting as King's Champion.[4] The Dymoke family survives today, still possessed of the manor of Scrivelsby and living at Scrivelsby Court, the (nominal) lord of the manor in 2018 being Francis John Fane Marmion Dymoke (born 1955), 34th lord of the manor of Scrivelsby and 8th of Tetford.

Text from: Lodge, Samuel, Scrivelsby, the home of the champions, With some account of the Marmion and Dymoke families, 1893, p.56[3], pp.58-9:

There is a fine table monument in Scrivelsbv Church to this Sir Robert Dvmoke, which according to Banks and others was once at Haltham, containing the following inscription on a well-cut brass :" Here liethe the Body of Sir Robert Demoke of Screvelsbv knightjbaronet who departed owt of this present Ivfe the XV dav of April in ye yere of our lord god MDXLV. upon whose sowle almighte god have m'ci Amen. " It is startling to see the title of Baronet given to a man who died in 1545, whereas it is well-known that Baronets were first appointed bv James I., shortlv after his accession in 1603. The word, of course, should be Banneret, and we know that Sir Robert Dymoke was appointed a knight Banneret, soon after attaining his majoritv. It was this Sir Robert whose rebus appears on the Lion gateway, at the entrance of Scrivelsbv Park. With regard to this table monument, it has alwavs been supposed that, as Sir Robert was buried at Haltham, his monument was originallv placed in Haltham Church : but there is no trustworthv information to be obtained on the subject. The burial took place before the days of registers, and although the Haltham Registers go back to 1561, no help is to be obtained from that quarter. Assuming that the burial took place at Haltham, which is bv no means unlikely, there are two possible explanations to account for the existence of the monument in Scrivelsbv Church. Scrivelsby being the caput baroniae would be the natural place for such a memorial, and as it is probable, from the curious blunder on the inscription, that the tomb in question was erected

several years after Sir Robert's death, it is not at all unlikely that Scrivelsby Church was considered the fitting place for its reception, although the interment had taken place at Haltham. Another plausible conjecture is that not only did the burial take place at Haltham, but that the monument also was placed there. But as Scrivelsby is the centre of a cluster of villages, all of them at one time belonging to the Champions, and as it was usual for the second son of the family to take Holy Orders and to hold the family livings — sometimes three or four at a time — it is not uncharitable to suppose thot a clerical member of the family, finding himself at the same time Rector of Haltham and Scrivelsby, quietly removed from the former village a handsome monument which he thought more suitable for the central church of the parish in which the familv dwelt. After all, it is quite as likely that a mistake has been made with regard to Haltham, by some old writer, and that the mistake has been so often copied by later generations as to have acquired an air of truthfulness. And if Sir Robert died and was buried at Scrivelsby there would have been nothing to cause a flutter in the breast of the curious antiquarian.* Amidst so much uncertainty it is well to have one piece of solid ground to stand upon, and the present Rector has secured this stable footing. He found the monument at Scrivelsby, and, without being too curious as to how it got there, he means to keep it, until otherwise directed bv competent authority. Here it is : here it shall remain.
