Administrative / biographical background:

Rents of £9 16s. 2d. from Thorpe Satchville and neighbouring Twyford are first recorded in Stephen de Segrave's inquisition post mortem of 1325, and seem to have been acquired by Stephen and his father John. Both vills were mentioned in the 1343-4 settlement and thereafter as part of that settlement in the inquisitions of 1353 and 1399. Thorpe Satchville is not later mentioned separately in the muniments but by 1484 Twyford occurs as one of the manors representing all the Leicestershire holdings in the grant by William Berkeley to Richard III.
