Gerneber was a Saxon noble who probably assisted in the restoration of
The Saxon Line over The Danish Line in 1042, because in the time of
King Edward the confessor he held eleven manors in the district and
had possessions valued at eleven pounds. He and his tenants must have
strongly resisted the Norman Conquerors, because in 1086 we find his
properties under the French Overlord Iibert de Laci, who allowed
Gerneber to keep 4 manors and possessions valued at little more than
one pound. His household and tenant families probably only numbering
between 30 and 50. Almost a century passes before we find any further
written historical details. Although Gamel (or Gamal), who was
reputedly one of his sons (b. Circa 1050AD), is mentioned in the
Domesday Book as a land holder in the Calder Valley.
