Semley history

In AD 955 King Eadwig granted land to Wilton Abbey, and Semley was probably part of that estate. In the 1530s under the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the Abbey had to surrender its lands to the Crown, including the manor of Semley. In 1541 Henry VIII granted Semley to Sir Edward Bayntun and his wife Lady Isabel as part of his policy of re-allocated monastic land to his nobles. The Wardour estate has held land at Semley ever since.

Later landowners

Between 1806 and 1820 the 9th and 10th Barons Wardour sold 882 acres (357 ha) of Semley Manor to John Benett of the Pythouse (Pyt House) estate. By 1839 Benett’s estate at Semley amounted to 1,064 acres (431 ha) by 1839. In 1847 Richard Grosvenor, 2nd Marquess of Westminster bought Westwood Farm from Benett. This estate descended by the Marquess’s daughter Octavia to her husband Sir Michael Shaw-Stewart.
