ARLEY, During the 14th century a branch of the Shropshire family of Corbet appears as tenants of the manor; they were related to the Odingsels by the marriage of Emma, widow of John de Odingsels (died 1336), to William Corbet, and of Amice, daughter of Sir Roger Corbet, to John's son, another John, before 1335. Sir Roger in 1328 settled property in Arley on himself and his wife Amice, with contingent reversion in tail to William, son of Thomas, Camville, or to Roger or Peter, sons of Roger Corbet of Caus. In 1381 Sir Roger Corbet of Leigh died, holding a third part of the manor of Sir John Rochford. ^[2]

"Sir Roger of Legh and his wife Amice built a south aisle to the church at Sibbesdon, and their arms are, I believe, seen in the east window: Or, two ravens in pale proper, within a border engrailed gules; impaling argent, on a cross gules five mullets or. Roger, son of Roger Corbet of Legh, did homage for his lands in Sibbesden, 1368, in the Shire Hall of Leicester. Thomas Corbet, his son, was lord of Sibbesden before 1405, and was buried at Sibbesden about 1424, leaving a son Thomas to succeed him both in Leicestershire and in Shropshire. I have carefully copied the information from Nicholls' " Leicestershire " because it gives the true descent from Sir Roger and Amice, which is not easily obtained elsewhere; and some other details".
