User:Gavin Wilson/Ralphe de Imworth

Ralph de Imworth (?-1223) owned the Manor of Immeworth during the reign of Henry III. In 1229, another Ralph de Imworth (presumably his son) embarked on a lawsuit against a Molesey man concering a fishpond. Several years later, he obtained exemption from tallage -- i.e. the toll payable to an overlord -- for both himself and his manorial tenants. The second Ralph was succeeded by Reginald de Imworth.

The manor of Imworth was eventually sold by the widow of Sir John Hill to Dudley Carleton, who was created Baron Carleton of Imber Court in 1626.
