  Duns Tew, Oxfordshire-British History Online:
  
  Emma, another daughter of Hugh of Tew, married Richard (d. 1287 x 1291) son of Roger of Lyons. Thomas of Lyons held the share by 1299; he was still alive in 1321 but in 1340 his son Thomas sold the estate to Sir John Lyons of Warkworth (Northants.), of the senior line of the family. In 1348 Sir John settled it on his wife and son John. (fn. 49) John apparently died without issue after 1383 and was succeeded by his nephew Sir John Chetwode (d. 1412), whose son Sir Thomas died childless between 1446 and 1456 and was succeeded by his sister Elizabeth (d. 1475), wife of Sir Thomas Woodhill. Their descendant Agnes, only daughter of Anthony Woodhill (d. 1542), married Richard Chetwode of Chetwode (Bucks.). Their son Richard sold the estate in 1598 to Thomas Read (d. 1604), son of the Thomas mentioned above. (fn. 51) The Reads' chief landed interest lay in Berkshire, and Thomas's son Sir Thomas settled the Duns Tew estate in 1639 on his second son John. John's grandson Sir John Read (d. 1711) left four sisters as heirs; it was agreed in 1719 that Duns Tew should go to the eldest, Dorothea, wife of Robert fifth son of Sir Robert Dashwood of Northbrook.

   Note: Manors and Other Estates. Four of the nine estates described in 1086 as lying in Tew can be ascribed to Duns Tew. (fn. 39) The two largest were held by Eurwin, of Robert d'Oilly (7 hides) and Robert of Stafford (3½ hides). By 1166 the d'Oilly land, too, may have been held of the barony of Stafford (assuming Robert de Stafford was a Baron, a hereditary title awarded by the British Crown, his descendant or descendant’s wife) Eurwin's successors holding their land as 2 knights' fees, one direct from the Stafford barony, the other from Stafford through Henry d'Oilly as mesne lord. The Stafford overlordship is last mentioned in 1242. The d'Oilly lordship descended with their other estates to the de Plessis family. Duns Tew was held of Hugh de Plessis at his death in 1363, but by 1526 it was said merely to be held 'of the heirs of Hugh de Plessis'. Eurwin's successor as demesne tenant of both DUNS TEW estates was a family called of Tew, of which an account is given elsewhere. Duns Tew was the centre of their landed interest until 1284 when Hugh of Tew was succeeded by three daughters between whom the manor was partitioned. One daughter, Maud, married Hugh of Hinton, and in 1316 William of Hinton was said to be one of the lords of Duns Tew. (fn. 43) In 1323 John son of John of Hinton sold the share to Robert Arden of Drayton (d. 1331). (fn. 44) Robert's son Giles (d. 1376) was predeceased by his son, also Giles, and his estates passed to the younger Giles's daughters Margaret and Joan; Duns Tew was taken by Margaret. She later married Lewis Greville, and the manor remained in the possession of the Greville family until 1521, when Edward Greville sold it to John Audlett. (fn. 45) On his death in 1536 Audlett was succeeded by Thomas Read (d. 1556), probably his wife's relative. (fn. 46) Emma, another daughter of Hugh of Tew, married Richard (d. 1287 x 1291) son of Roger of Lyons. (fn. 47) Thomas of Lyons held the share by 1299; he was still alive in 1321 but in 1340 his son Thomas sold the estate to Sir John Lyons of Warkworth (Northants.), of the senior line of the family. (fn. 48) In 1348 Sir John settled it on his wife and son John. (fn. 49) John apparently died without issue after 1383 and was succeeded by his nephew Sir John Chetwode (d. 1412), whose son Sir Thomas died childless between 1446 and 1456 and was succeeded by his sister Elizabeth (d. 1475), wife of Sir Thomas Woodhill. (fn. 50) Their descendant Agnes, only daughter of Anthony Woodhill (d. 1542), married Richard Chetwode of Chetwode (Bucks.). Their son Richard sold the estate in 1598 to Thomas Read (d. 1604), son of the Thomas mentioned above. (fn. 51) The Reads' chief landed interest lay in Berkshire, and Thomas's son Sir Thomas settled the Duns Tew estate in 1639 on his second son John. (fn. 52) John's grandson Sir John Read (d. 1711) left four sisters as heirs; it was agreed in 1719 that Duns Tew should go to the eldest, Dorothea, wife of Robert fifth son of Sir Robert Dashwood of Northbrook. (fn. 53) Hugh of Tew's third daughter, William, married Ralph of Sutton, son of Ralph of Astrop. By 1321 their third share of the manor was in the hands of Walter Bicester, who sold it soon after, probably to Hugh Raves, grandfather of Hugh Raves, the owner in 1350. (fn. 54) George Raves (d. by 1560), taxed at Duns Tew in 1524 and 1544, and implicated in the Oxfordshire rising of 1549, was presumably the owner of the third share at that time. (fn. 55) He was succeeded by his son Richard (d. 1596) and Richard's son George (d. 1613), whose son William died in 1631, leaving five sisters as heirs. (fn. 56) The landed estate of the Raves third of the manor comprised 6 yardlands, and it is likely that the family held only the demesne land of the Sutton inheritance; the descent of the remainder is set out below. The 6 yardlands had been attached to two houses, Farm House (4 yardlands) and Over House (2 yardlands), to facilitate the provision of dower. The Farm House estate was divided between Anne and Jane Raves, the Over House estate passing to a third sister Elizabeth. (fn. 57) Elizabeth's 2 yardlands were probably those bought in 1676 by Sir John Read. (fn. 58) The Farm House estate was reunited in 1659 when Anne's husband Richard Burrows of Arlescote (Warws.) bought Jane's share. In 1666 he settled all 4 yardlands on his son Raves, who settled them in 1698 on his son John. (fn. 59) In 1716 John gave 1 yardland to his sister Joan, who sold it in 1729 to Henry Bennett, a Deddington mercer. Bennett settled it in 1745 on his daughter Sarah and her husband William Taylor of Radford. William and his son John sold it in 1779 to John Preedy (d. 1800) of Duns Tew, from whose executors it was purchased in 1814 by Sir Henry Dashwood. (fn. 60) John Burrows sold a further 1¾ yardlands in 1729 to Robert Dashwood, and in 1736 his daughter and heir Sarah sold the remaining 1¼ yardlands with the third of the manor to Dorothea Dashwood. (fn. 61) The manor was therefore reunited in the ownership of the Dashwood family which retained the lordship until the estate was broken up in 1948. (fn. 62)
