Date Early deeds referring to North Reston and the Chamberlayne Family from Domesday to 1525
1066 North Reston was held by Alsi (son of Godram) and appears in the Domesday Book in 1086 in the ownership of William of Percy. At this time, there were 26 households, with 4 villagers, 18 freemen and 4 smallholders.

Its land and resources comprised of 4 ploughlands; 2 lord's plough teams and 4 men's plough teams, as well as 30 acres of meadow land, 100 acres of woodland, 2 mills, valued at 5 shillings, and 1 church. The village brought an annual value to the Tenant-in-chief of 2 pounds in 1066; an amount which had not changed in 1086. The Tenant-in-chief in 1086 was William of Percy, to whom, in 1066, Alsi (son of Godram) and in 1086 Osbern the priest, immediate lords over the peasants after the Conquest, paid tax.[2][3]

(Alan de Percy held in chief the lord king xviiij bovates of land in Riston and Carleton, but we do not kill for that service. And he gave them to Osbert the sheriff by the service of 12 knights; the heirs of the said Osbert hold them.)

Hugh quitclaimed to Robert and his heirs forever all right which he had in the same half of the knight’s fee. And, moreover, Robert, granted to Hugh that whatsoever he or his heirs hereafter shall acquire of the inheritance which was of Osbert the Sheriff, ancestor of the said Robert and Hugh, they shall divide between them, so that Robert and his heirs shall have a moiety thereof quietly, and Hugh and his heirs shall have the other moiety and shall hold it of Robert and his heirs by the service which pertains to that moiety.”[9]

1288 An assize came to recognise what patron in the time of peace presented the last parson, who is dead, to the church of North Riston, which is vacant, and the advowson of which Richard le Chaumberleyn claims against the prior of Thorkesey. And he says one William, his ancestor, in the time of king John (27 May 1199 -19 October 1216) presented one Alfred, his clerk, who was admitted, by whose death the church is vacant. The prior says the church is not vacant, but rather is full and provided for by the same prior and his convent of their own advowson of the gift and feoffment of one Stephen Chamberleyn, son of Herbert Chamberleyn, and he proffers Stephen’s charter, which testifies that the same Stephen gave, &c., to God, and the church of St. Leonard of Thorkesey, and the canons there serving God, and their successors, the said church of North Riston, with all appurtenances, in pure and perpetual alms. Richard says the church is vacant. The bishop is to inform the justices whether this is so. The bishop states that the church is full, and provided for by the said prior and convent, and was from the time of Blessed Hugh formerly bishop. Therefore it is considered that the said prior go without a day, and Richard takes nothing.

See report of Associated Archit. Societies xxvi., 72, for the Chamberleyn family.

Just before, on the same roll, we find (m 17) Richard le Chaumberleyn saying that the church of North Reston is vacant, and the advowson belongs to him, which Henry le Chaumberleyn deforced him of. Who Richard was does not appear, nor a Henry alive in 1288. Henry le Chamberleyn was dead in 1255-6, leaving John his son and heir. In 1316 the jurors found that Philip de Lindesey held on the day he adhered to the Scots, the enemies of the king, the manor of Wykingby and lands in Merston for the term of his life after the death of Beatrice, formerly his wife, of the inheritance of John, son and heir of Robert le Chaumberleyn, deceased, who is under age and in the custody of the king.
