Biography
Richard was born c1175.
Bromsden manor or farm lay in the parish's south-west corner, its lands partly in Rotherfield Greys. Bromsden was probably the hide of land held from the king's soke of Bensington in 1086 by a royal servant called William. It was apparently acquired before 1236 by the lords of Bix Brand, who still held it in 1279, the Stonors also had lands there by 1224\endash 5, when Richard of Bromsden, in a dispute over half a yardland, claimed that Richard Stonor (d. 1225) was his lord. In 1314 John Stonor (d. 1354) acquired free warren over demesne lands in Bromsden as well as in Bix Gibwyn and Bix Brand, and the estate was certainly in Stonor hands by 1334, when (as on some later occasions) it was called a 'manor'. [1]
Earlier landlords sometimes lived at Bix but the Stonor's settled in nearby Stoner probably causing the Bix Churches (Bix Brand and Bix Gibwyn) go out of use. Shown are the remains of Bix Brand Church abandoned in 1875.
He passed away about 1225.
Research Notes
The Oxfordshire branch of the Stonor family, owners of Stonor from at least the early 13th century to the present day, first appears clearly with Richard 'de Stanora'. Throughout the century this name recurs: there appear to be three generations. In 1241 a Richard Stonor established his right to land in the neighbouring parish of Bix, where the family's main Oxfordshire property then lay. In 1279 Richard Stonor was one of the jurors sworn for Pyrton hundred and was returned as a free tenant in Pyrton, where he held 1 virgate under Pyrton manor for a rent of 8s. and 4 quarters of oats, a holding which was later administered with the manor. In 1282 the same or another Richard Stonor was returned as one of the six co-parceners of ? and 1/10-knight's fees within Pyrton manor. These fractions, however, probably represented Stonor's Pishill lands as well as his Assendon lands, for part of Pishill was in Pyrton manor and the records relating to it are often imprecise.This Richard Stonor, perhaps the third, had married shortly before 1280 Margaret, the daughter of Sir John de Harnhull, and was still living in 1297. He had been succeeded by 1315 by his son Sir John Stonor, the Chief Justice [2]
The earliest register extant in the Diocesan registry at Lincoln is that of Bishop Grossteste in whos second year, 1237, Isabella Countess of Oxford lady of the manor of Bix Gibwyn presented Thomas de Belesham to that living. From 1315 the patronage of Bix Gibwyn was with the Stonors[3]
