Lordship of Hasley
The Lordship of Hasley is a feudal barony historically associated with the parish of Thornton in Buckinghamshire, England which has existed for 1,150 years. From 1956 to 2023, the Lordship remained dormant and the title deed was held in trust.[1]
Current Status
Thornton College currently occupies the old manor traditionally associated with the Hasley Lordship.[2] The Hasley Manor Trust provides an annual grant of £20,000, presided over by the current Lord of Hasley. Col. Henry William Harris, the 18th Lord of Hasley, established the grant. In the absence of a presiding Lord, an administrative board oversees the grant program.[1]
History
Historian and former governor A.H.J. Baines published research in 1954 indicating that the Lordship of Hasley may have been incorrectly attributed to the area of Thornton.[3] Baines cites a certificate from the Cambridge archive, dated 1659, which highlights a dispute between Radclive and Hasley that Queen Anne addressed by expressing her support for the Lord of Hasley's claim.
