The head of the family which held the manor of Stoke for centuries under the Earls of Gloucester, and gave its name to the place, seems to have been Roger D'Abernon, who held in West Molesey of Richard in 1086. (fn. 15) The association of the name of the family with Stoke indicates an early and long connexion, but the first who can certainly be said to have been there was Ingelram D'Abernon in 1189, (fn. 16) when he lent his house there to William Marshal and the daughter of the Earl of Pembroke for their honeymoon. (fn. 17) In 1205 there were four brothers living, Ingelram, Walter, William, and Richard. Ingelram, son of Walter, died in 1235, without children, his heir being his kinsman Jordan. (fn. 18) Jordan ceded his claims to his uncle Gilbert, (fn. 19) which looks as if Ingelram and Jordan were grandsons, not sons, of two of the four brothers mentioned above. Gilbert was father to John, (fn. 20) who is commemorated by the larger brass in the church.
