Lordship of the Manor - The Lordship of Frampton and the Wapentake of Kirton resides here. In the Domesday Survey of 1086, it is recorded that Count Alan was lord of the manor. In 1183 Maurice de Creun held the title lord of the manor and Alexander became his steward. By 1258 Roger, son of Gilbert de Croft had become lord of the manor and was holding courts there. The lordship of this manor had previously belonged to the family of Lord Willoughby de Broke, for generations. The site of the ancient Manor House (known as Stone Hall) may still be seen immediately to the south of the churchyard and is opposite the Manor House.
