Granted to Sir Edward Denny and Margaret Edgecumbe 1583-1584.
Sir Edward Denny died 1600.
His widow Margaret lived at Rectory Manor House for decades.
During the 1641 Rebellion in Ireland,
Margaret's grandson
Sir Edward Denny
sent his wife and children to live with his grandmother
(the children's great-grandmother) in England at Bishop's Stortford
for safety.
Margaret Edgecumbe died 1648.
Denny family portraits and papers and other material
were kept safe by Margaret Edgecumbe
and later English Dennys at Bishop's Stortford
during the 17th century troubles and destruction in Ireland.
Later, some of the pictures (or copies of them) were given to the Irish Dennys.
The house survives.
Now called
"Church Manor House".
