Dec 18, 2023 · Henry III granted his half-sister the manor of Rothley in Leicestershire, England, and the manor of Condover in Shropshire, England. However, in 1228 these manors were confiscated.

Chadwell and Wycomb were a joint township assessed (like Keyham) at 4 carucates in the Domesday Survey and lay surrounded by non-soke territory. They lay at the eastern extremity of the Rothley soke territory. The townships which lay closest to Chadwell and Wycomb to the north and west were Goadby Marwood and Scalford.
In return, the King granted his own Manor & Soke of Rothley to the Templars. As the Order had done in other places, the Templars established a Preceptory at Rothley to control their interests as Lords of the Manor.
The Lordship of the Manor of Rothley, previously held by the preceptory, was from 1565 until 1845 in the hands of the Babington family. The Babingtons chose not to demolish the preceptory's chapel, and it was incorporated, along with some fragments of the preceptory's domestic buildings, into the house they built on the site.
