Biography
Lord William Perkins was the first of his family to arrive in Berkshire where he became Lord of the Ufton Robert manor. In his early years William was a bailiff to Prince Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester. When William married his wife Margaret in 1424, he made an agreement with John and Elizabeth Colney. This agreement gave William and his wife the property of Ufton Manor in return for an 8 marks of silver per year to Elizabeth Colney after Williams death. This agreement seems to show that William was somehow related to Elizabeth Colney and many scholars have speculated that Elizabeth and Margaret were sisters. In 1427, and several years after, William Perkins served as Escheator for the counties of Berkshire and Oxfordshire. In 1435 the Union between the parishes of Ufton Robert and Ufton Nervet was Williams most successful achievement. This union created the modern day village of Ufton and allowed his children to govern as Lords of a united Village.
