Standon had been established as a Market Village by the Lord of the Manor, Gilbert de Clare in the 12th century, he having obtained a monopoly from the King to hold a market in the area. This accounts for the present wide layout of our High Street which gives the village a lot of its charm. This proved a most profitable venture for him, and it thrived for many years, since all other markets in the area were suppressed if they were considered to compete, and eventually the merchants formed themselves into a Borough in its own right. So Standon was quite a well known and prosperous place in the time of Henry VIII, and the Lordship of the Manor had in fact reverted to the crown some years previously, so that it formed part of the jointure of Catherine of Aragon. When she fell from grace, it passed to Jane Seymour, and the man who was Steward of her affairs was….. Ralph Sadler. On the death of Sir William Coffyn who was the actual Steward of the Manor of Standon, probably of the plague, in 1538, Ralph got himself appointed Steward in his place, and probably took up residence in the village (this is the subject of some research at present). In 1539 he was granted the Manor of Standon, the Borough of Standon and some other Manors in the area by the King in return for services rendered. This probably included some land confiscated from the Knights of St John at the dissolution of the monasteries. A tremendous amount of land was distributed to favourites of the King, making them extremely wealthy men. In 1543 Ralph started building the Lordship and the rest as they say is History3
