Manor of 1068

Acklam was referred to as “Aclun” in the 1086 Domesday Book. A precursor to a civil parish, the ‘manor’ was eleven gold-taxed ploughlands. This manor’s area had previously been owned by Earl Siward with the area passed to Hugh Earl of Chester in 1086.

Overlords (1068 to 1488)

In the Manor area, Robert Malet had a ploughland and the king also had 3 ploughlands. When Malet’s son died in a pub, the White Ship, around 1120 meant all lands went to the king. Acklam passed down the Darcy line until Sir Richard Strangways, son of Lucy and John’s great-great-granddaughter Elizabeth, overlorded until his death in 1488.

Lords (1086 to 1460/1)

Hugh son of Norman, Norman, Earl Hugh’s tenant in 1086, was thought to be succeeded by Alvered, or Alfred, in about 1120. Roger, son of Alvered’s grandson, William de Acklam had two daughters. Joan was sole heir after her sister’s death: Joan married Ingram de Boynton.

Land holder (1460/1 to 1637)

In 1460-1 Thomas son of Thomas, also heir of William, died as lord of Acklam. From his son Henry, who was dead in 1495, the manor came in direct line to Henry’s grandson Matthew. To the west of the current Acklam area, the then village of Stainsby was deserted by 1757.
