Titherley family
As far as I can gather the lords of this manor were, after the Dissolution: Viscount de Lisle, then Walpole, then Lord Clinton (note Clinton Arms pub opposite church). Have found no source which supports Titherley family as lords of this manor. Thus have removed the following text here pending clarification: "The Lord of the Manor of Frithelstock is Robert Titherley of Titherley in Hampshire whose family can be traced back to the earliest Frithelstock parish records dated circa 1530. The Titherleys held land in the manor of Frithelstock and had commercial interests in the area for several hundred years, two Titherleys having been Mayors of Torrington in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.". Have found following re the parish: ''North Devon Record Office 3788A/PO127  1721. Contents: Joseph Downing apprenticed to John Titherly, yeoman.'' Yeoman appears below status of lord of manor, which would surley be "gent" or "Esq"? (Lobsterthermidor (talk) 15:42, 6 June 2013 (UTC))
