History
Teddington Manor was originally part of Staines, but was independent by the 13th century. It was owned by Westminster Abbey who also owned Staines. In 1536 the Abbey swapped the manor with king Henry VIII for land at Berkshire; and Teddington was added to the honour of Hampton Court.
Both the Abbey and the Crown leased the manor out; it was taken by various families. The estate was sold in 1861 and all the copyhold land was enfranchised by 1874, after which the manor ceased to exist. The manor house had been pulled down by 1913.
