2 The advowson of the church of Honiley was given to Richard Pecche by William Arderne. Sir John Pecche of Hampton-in-Ardene gave it in 1318 to his son Nicholas, and it descended with the manor. Dr Thomas in his edition of Dugdale (1730) inserted a long extract from an alleged court roll of 18 Henry VIII. According to this the church was founded by Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester. It also asserted that Honiley was an exempt peculiar. There is no supporting evidence for any peculiar jurisdiction here, or of any connection of Earl Simon with the manor.

Description  
period Medieval 1066 AD to 1539 AD (the 11th century AD to the 16th century AD)

The medieval period comes after the Saxon period and before the post medieval period.

The Medieval period begins in 1066 AD.
This was the year that the Normans, led by William the Conqueror (1066 – 1087), invaded England and defeated Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings in East Sussex.
The Medieval period includes the first half of the Tudor period (1485 – 1603 AD), when the Tudor family reigned in England and eventually in Scotland too.

The end of the Medieval period is marked by Henry VIII’s (1509 – 1547) order for the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the years running up to 1539 AD. The whole of this period is sometimes called the Middle Ages.
