Owners

Iridge was a tithing of Henhurst Hundred from 1248 (776 years ago) (1248) onwards, and first appears as a manor in 1539 (485 years ago) (1539) when Martin Brabon was in possession of it, the Brabon family having been in residence since at least 1327 (697 years ago) (1327).

The manor changed hands by marriage and conveyance a number of times during the 17th century, before ending up in the hands of William Peckham at the beginning of the 18th century.
