Parish of Hodgeston

This benefice was originally a free chapel, and in 1380 the patronage belonged to the heir of John Fleming, Baron de la Roche. In 1487 the right of presentation was vested in Henry Malenfant and Thomas Sturmyn, the lords of the manor of Ogeston [Hodgeston], being patrons for that turn. In 1594 one moiety of the patronage was owned by the Earl of Essex, who bought it from Wogan, and the other moiety belonged to John ap Res and the de Longueville family, the right of presentation being appendant to the manor of Hodgeston.--Owen's Pem.
