John, Count de Tankerville, of Tankerville Castle in Normandy who accompanied Duke William (aka "William the Conqueror") on his Conquest of England only to return after the battle of Hastings to his hereditary estates. He left a son (John) in England who became chamberlain to Henry I (son of William the Conqueror), and whose son, Richard assumed the surname of Chamberlain from his office. [1] The principal line of the descendants were the Chamberlaynes of Sherborne in Oxfordshire. The hamlet of Stoney Thorpe in Warwickshire was home to a branch of the family. "The family of Chamberlayne, formerly of Princethorpe, in the county, has been seated here for many centuries; Henry Thomas Chamberlayne, Esq., is the present owner." [2]
