Text from VCH: ('Parishes : Wolverton', in A History of the County of Buckingham: Volume 4, ed. William Page (London, 1927), pp. 505-509. British History Online http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/bucks/vol4/pp505-509)

  • The village of Old Wolverton, now in its turn standing just off the most important highway, has a wharf on the canal at its north end. To the west is the church of Holy Trinity adjoining the site of the manor-house. The castle here of the mount and bailey type was built probably by the lords of the manor, possibly Meinfelin or Hamon, in the 12th century. Its site is to the north-east of the church. (fn. 7) It was probably never defended by masonry walls, and there is no documentary evidence as to its history. A capital messuage, with a court and garden, existed here in 1248, (fn. 8) and continues to be mentioned during the 14th century. (fn. 9) Two ruinous dove-houses were attached to it in 1349. (fn. 10) The Longville family evidently rebuilt the manorhouse when they came into possession, for Leland states that they lived here and 'buildid fairly.' (fn. 11) A fresh reconstruction is said to have taken place in 1586. (fn. 12) The house was described as a 'fine seat' in 1720, (fn. 13) but a few years later it was pulled down by order of the Radcliffe trustees

  • Sir Michael Longville, 4th son, who married Susan Grey (d.1620) (whose recumbent alabaster effigy[1] survives in Blunham Church, Bedfordshire, daughter of Charles Grey, 7th Earl of Kent, 10th Baron Grey of Ruthin (1545-1623) by his wife Susan Cotton), sister and heiress in her issue of Henry Grey, 8th Earl of Kent, 11th Baron Grey of Ruthin (1583-1639).
