History
"Stowe", an ancient Anglo-Saxon word for a 'place'
Stowe's toponym probably refers to an ancient holy place of great significance in Anglo-Saxon times.[2] The manor of Stowe predates the Norman conquest of England.[3] The Domesday Book of 1086 assessed the manor at five hides.[3] It listed William the Conqueror's half-brother Odo, Bishop of Bayeux as the manor's feudal overlord and the Norman brothers-in-arms Robert D'Oyly and Roger d'Ivry as his tenants.[3] D'Oyly founded Oxford Castle and he and d'Ivry founded a college of secular canons there.[3] Not long after 1086 the manor of Stowe was transferred to the college's endowment, confirmed by a charter of Henry I in 1130.[3]
