Harry Stoke Early Records
Harry Stoke took its name from Harris de Filton who once owned it. There were 3 manors in the parish of Stoke Gifford. The Giffards and Berkeleys held Stoke and Walls. Harry Stoke was a separate manor held by Aldred in Saxon times, Theobald in Norman times and the Blount and De Filton families in mediaeval times. The Berkeleys bought it in the l6th century.

Administrative history:
Moieties of the manors of Filton and Harry Stoke were inherited by Margery,
first wife of Sir Thomas FitzNichol, and the FitzNichols leased the moieties in
1379-80 to Edmund Blount and his wife Margaret (for the lives of Thomas and
Margery) at 16 marks a year. [CCR 1419-22, 158-9; CIPM xv, no. 303.]

'Stoke Gifford tithes'
William Cary, Rector of Winterbourne, v. John Berkeley and others, claiming
that a moiety of the tithes of Harry Stoke hamlet belong to Winterbourne
'where the inhabitants of Harry Stoke have buried their dead' because Stoke
Gifford churchyard was not consecrated until 1718. Berkeley argued that the
tithes were not an endowment, but paid only for the burial facility, and
have therefore ceased since the consecration of Stoke Gifford which is now
used instead
Includes extract of endowment of vicarage of Stoke Gifford from the Bishop
of Worcester's register (1294), and 19th cent. translation; extract from
same of the composition of tithes between the rector of Winterbourne and the

Administrative history:
MANOR OF FILTON
According to Atkyns, Sir Thomas FitzNichols and Edward Blount were both seized
of this manor, probably as co-heirs, temp. Ric.II. Thomas Mallet died seized of
it in 22 Eliz.
It appears from Deed No.1. that Filton was sold after Mallet's death to George
Moreton, who on 1 October 1580 mortgaged the manors of Stoke Harris and Filton
and in 1584 conveyed them, together with the advowson of Filton, to Roger
Revell. Richard Revell sold the manor of Filton and the advowson to John Younge
for £950 in 1609.
