Agnes NEVILL

(Abt 1316 - )

The sale of the manor of Barkham by Philip and Henry le Botiller to John Mautravers in 1330 had been disputed by Agnes de Nevill, through legal proceedings (called an assize of novel disseisin) commenced before the forfeiture of John Mautravers' property, and Agnes recovered title to the manor and a carucate of land (corresponding to one hide, say 120 acres, consistent with the 1331 valuation) under a judgment in 1334. Agnes de Nevill is reputed to have married Gilbert Bullock, son of Robert Bullock, lord of Arborfield,and so the manor of Barkham passed into the younger line of the Bullock family (since Gilbert Bullock was not Robert Bullock's eldest son (another Robert)).
In 1343 Gilbert Bullock presented John de Insula as new rector to Barkham church. The wooden effigy in the church porch of a recumbent lady in a long, loose dress and linen head-dress is reputed to be an effigy of Agnes
de Nevill. The lordship of Barkham was to remain in the Bullock family until 1589.
