Research note · 7 August 2026

The working succession was extended through the Tyberton branch, while the absence of a post-1944 conveyance was made explicit.

The published account formerly ended while the manor was still in Lee-Warner hands in the early nineteenth century. Evidence assembled from Hasted, Ireland, Bateman, census material, and archival catalogues now supports a longer working reconstruction through the Reverend Daniel Henry Lee Warner, Robert Henry Lee-Warner, and Major Chandos Brydges Lee-Warner.

What changed

  • The Tyberton Court branch was distinguished from the senior Walsingham Abbey line.
  • Catalogued leases of Donjon Farm were identified among the Tyberton muniments.
  • Robert Henry and Chandos were added as presumptive, not documented, holders.
  • Chandos’s death in 1944 was identified as the present end of the plausible historical chain.

What did not change

No instrument has been found carrying the genuine lordship from the Lee-Warner estate to Manorial Title Register Limited or any identified intermediate holder. The longer reconstruction therefore sharpens the modern evidentiary problem; it does not solve it.

Consequence for the site

The succession now distinguishes direct evidence, supported inference, and the open post-1944 question. Future evidence may alter any presumptive entry.
