More information : The ruins of a regligious house at East Shamblord were used to construct East Cowes Castle (SZ59NW1)(1.)
In 1271-2 Jordan De Kingston granted a mssuage and 43 acres of land in Wippingham to the Abbot of Beaulieu. This estate, together with land subsequently acquired, seems to have been that later known as the Grange of East Shamlord. At the Dissolution the estate must have been granted to John Vaughan and Richard Putte as they sold it in 1565: the last known reference to it was in 1611 when Richard James held the lease. The name is still preserved in a field known as "Shamblers" between the Naval College Works and the cemetery (2).
Not mentioned (3.4)
I do not believe that there was a religous house at East Shamblord. I am in possession of Accounts which show that materials from Quarr Abbey (SZ59SE4)were used to build East Cowes Castle (5)
No further information. Perambulation of Little Shamblers Copse, part of which is now a rubbish dump, revealed nothing of archaeological significance. (6)
On consulting Dugdale, I find that there was a Grange of Beaulieu at East Shamblord (7) |
