Full Description
{1}No evidence has been found for the manor house of the Over Manor, although from 1284 it contained a chapel. In that year the prior had agreed that when the lord of Daventry and his wife were present ‘in the mansion house taken by the lord out of his park at Daventry, then they might have mass and all other religious offices celebrated in a chapel within the said mansion house’. The chapel was not to have a bell tower, and masses were not permitted on the major feasts nor on the dedication of the church of Daventry, unless the lord or his wife were compelled by illness to stay at home. They were to maintain the chaplain at their own expense.
