The first record of West Drayton is from 939 when Æthelstan, King of the English, gave it to the Dean and Chapter of Cathedral church of St Pauls . In the 1086 Domesday Book, the Parish had 17 landowners which indicated a population of less than 100 . In 1461 a separate smaller manor was first recorded, lying between Swan road and Colham Garden Manor .
The Paget Era
From 1525 St Paul’s began leasing West Drayton Manor to tenants . From 1537 the lessee of the manor was William Paget who held high office of state in the court of Henry VIII . On 1 April 1546, the Dean and Chapter of St . Paul’s released the Manor to the Crown and two weeks later Henry granted the now knighted Sir William . Paget was made a peer of the realm as Lord Paget of Beaudesert by Edward VI .
