  === Life Sketch ===
  The Shelford/Caxton Line
  
  Hardwin’s son Richard de Scalers (c.1070-1140) was Lord of the Manor of Shelford, which included Caxton. Their manor house was on the western bank of the River Cam. The present house on the site looks 18th century. Several estates held land in Shelford as witnessed by a number of surviving moats and earthworks.
  
  Despite Richard’s adopted title, the major seat of this branch of the family was at Caxton. In fact, Hugh and Richard were both born in Caxton, so presumably Hardwin had moved there before about 1070. All of Richard’s descendants were also born there. The manor house at Shelford was probably not much used by the family; it may have been occupied by a bailiff for the estate. The reason for locating at Caxton may well have been that the Roman Road Ermine Street passes through the village, connecting the estate with the other de Scalers domains to the south at Whaddon and Reed, and with London.
  
  Richard's son Stephen (c.1102-1168) married Gillian and was succeeded by their son William (c.1122-1199), who married Sybil. They in turn were succeeded by their son William (c.1148-1222) and his son Richard (c.1172-1231), who married Alice. Richard was the last male bearer of the Scalers name in this line. His heiress was his daughter Lucy de Scalers (c.1205-1256).
  
  Linked with the Shelford/Caxton line by a cadet branch of which there are no further details was John de Scalers (c.1223-1312) of Caxton. He was Sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire intermittently between 1246 and 1264.
