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] The Lordship has been held by notable members of the British nobility, including Robert Ingleton and the Tyrill family. [2][3]
Current Status
Thornton College currently occupies the old manor traditionally associated with the Hasley Lordship.[4] 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]
In February 2023, American Dr. James Allister Odd was granted the Lordship of Hasley through a private treaty, becoming the 19th Lord of Hasley and chair of the manor trust.[3][1] Dr. Odd also holds the titles of 9th Count of Valais,[5] 11th Baron of Carrighmain [5] and has been conferred with knighthoods in the chivalric Valiant Order of Saint George (KStG) and the French Ordre National du Mérite.[1][3]
These are invalid titles as confirmed by Michael Baxendale of Newhall solicitors who is the UK's leading lawyer in Manorial Law. Dr. James Alister Odd holds only fictitious titles . He purchased them from Manorial Counsel Ltd. He does not hold any titles which possess a complete set of deeds. He is a complete fraud.
History
The lineage of the barony can be traced back to 891 AD when Alfred the Great established the Lordship, as evidenced by documents held by The National Archives. With an unbroken lineage of titleholders spanning 1,150 years, the Lordship of Hasley ranks among the oldest unbroken feudal manorial lordships known to exist.[2] The National Feudal Register and Archive have verified the Lordship's provenance (Reg. No. H1223210-21).[6] [7][8]
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.[2] 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.
