In the reign of King Henry I., Sir Robert de Saukville (or Sackville), ancestor of the Earls of Dorset and Middlesex, held this lordship of the honor of Eye; but in the 9th of King Edw. I., William de Claydon held the same.

It was purchased, with the Glemham estate, by Dudley North, Esq.; and in 1764, it belonged to his son, Dudley North, Esq., and has since passed with the Little Glemham property.

The advowson was in Butley Priory, by the gift of Ralph Glanville, the founder. The impropriation was granted, in the 19th of Queen Elizabeth, to Edward Grimston, and has since belonged to the North and Long families.
