Note

This was the first Court at which it was recorded that “The Ladies” had replaced “The Lord” of the Manor:-

The Ladies of the Manor would have been Anne Elizabeth Amyas and Frances Amyas; their first lease of the Manor of Deopham of the Dean & Chapter of Canterbury is dated December 9^th 1814. There are therefore eleven Courts after the sisters had taken over the Manor whilst there continued to be references to “The Lord of the Manor”. Presumably the Rev. Bence Bence had continued to run things during this period.
