Baskeruile :

-

Their tenure of Eardisley Castle "commenced at least as early as the thirteenth century. In 1251 Humphrey de Bohun and Aleanore his wife, by a fine granted the manor of 'Irdesle' to Walter de Baskerville , but there is good reason to believe that his ancestors had been settled in that place—certainly in the county—at a much earlier date. They claim, indeed, to have acquired possession of the manor of Eardisley by the marriage of

>>> Sir Ralph Baskerville <<< with

>>> Sibyl <<<, heiress of

>>> Adam de Port <<< and of his wife, who was a daughter of

>>> De Braose <<<, and a grand-daughter of

>>> Milo, Earl of Hereford <<<. With greater certainty we may state that

>>>Ralph de Baskerville <<< held lands under

>>> Adam de Port <<< de veteri feoffamento, i.e. by inheritance from the reign of Henry I. , and that on the murder of

>>> Ralph Baskerville <<< in Northamptonshire about the year 1194, his son

>>> Thomas <<< succeeded him at Pickthorn, the Shropshire estate , and another son,

>>> Roger <<<, at Eardisley in Herefordshire.—

-

>>>”Walter de Baskerville <<<, grandson of this

>>> Roger <<<, had licence from the Bishop of Hereford in 1272 'to hold divine service in an oratory built within the walls of the castle' , and we may assume from this that Eardisley had then become the chief residence of the family, as it continued to be for the four succeeding centuries.

"During that long period the house of Baskerville produced a series of knights, whom to mention by name would exceed our limits. They won their spurs not by wealth or by waiting upon the Court, but by active service at home and abroad, and on the grave of each might be inscribed the quaint old epitaph:—

-

'Eques Auratus well may he he said

Whose coyne, not warlike courage, such hath made;

To Baskerville, we Miles do afford

As knighted on the field by his flesht sword.'
