Biographical history
The Sherborn family have been associated with East Bedfont in Middlesex for over 600 years. This association has taken many forms but most recently was the ownership of Fawns Manor, East Bedfont. The history of the family has been briefly recorded by the last of this long line of Sherborns, Derek Sherborn (see ACC/3259/SF1/025).
The Manor of Fawnes or Fawns was held from the Manor of East Bedfont. The manor is first mentioned as a manor in 1531, although reference to lands in this area held by the Fawne family date to the reign of Edward I. The manor was conveyed to the Crown in 1542 and from that date was held in chief. The manor had various owners, including Anthony Walker between 1583 and 1590, his son Thomas Walker up to 1618; Felix Wilson and his family until 1654; Thomas Darling and family until 1668. Records are then scarce until 1739, when Thomas Manning had the manor. By 1792 it was owned by Aubrey, Baron Vere. By 1911 it was the property of William Sherborn.
The Manor of Pates was also held of the Manor of East Bedfont, and was named after owner John Pate who held it in 1403. The manor was sold to Christ's Hospital in 1623, and they still owned it in 1911.

Gifted in August 1993.
Records of the Sherborn family of East Bedfont. The main part of the collection consists of family, estate and parish documents. Most refer to land and events in East Bedfont and the surrounding parishes. There are some fine estate plans (most notably the 1694 plan of Pates Manor, ref ACC/3259/SE2/001) and complementary records concerning enclosure and tithe apportionment. Family correspondence includes the letter book of William Sherborn 1846-1870 (ref ACC/3259/SF3/001) and letters signed by Sir Edward Sherburne, royalist and poet 1684-1687 (ref ACC/3259/SF3/003-005). In addition, there are many references to incidents in local history which will bear interesting comparison with records already deposited in the archive. The artificial collections consist partly of title deeds and partly of correspondence, which includes communication news concerning industrial developments in the West Riding of Yorkshire, 1806-1822 (ref ACC/3259/AX/042-046).
