| Mapperton was entered in
the Domesday Book as Malperetone. It was then the property of William
de Moion, Sheriff of Somerset, who earned 70 shillings from arable land
for four ploughs, twenty acres of meadow and pasture, woodlands and a
mill.
From then on Mapperton belonged to only four families linked by descent in the female line - the Bretts, Morgans, Brodrepps and Comptons - until it was bought in 1919 by Mrs Ethel Labouchere. Since her death in 1955 it has been the home of the Montagu family who formerly had a house at Hooke. |
