Tortington history
Before the Norman Conquest of 1066 the farmland of Tortington was tilled by an Anglo-Saxon freeman called Leofwine. By 1290 the church was recorded as a vicarage, the incumbents from this date onwards, with only a few exceptions, being described as vicars. In 1380 the nearby Augustine Priory acquired the benefice and the right to appoint clergy to the parish.
The parish
Tortington, south-east England, is around the same size as it was between 1901 and 1931. The ancient parish of St. Mary Magdalene, Tortington was united with St. Nicholas’s, Arundel and St. Leonard’s, South Stoke in 1929.
The Manor of Tortington
Tortington was part of the reward from William the Conqueror to Earl Roger de Montgomery for loyal service. However, Earl Roger’s son Robert de Bellême later became embroiled in a dispute with Henry I who stripped him of his title and lands. Henry ennobled William d’Aubigny as 1st Earl of Arundel and gave Robert’s Sussex lands, including the manor of Tortington. Edward I revived the earldom and its title so began a family association with town and title.
