Savills adds: "In 909 he granted the manor to the Bishop of Winchester. It was mentioned again in the Domesday Book and again in the Norman Distribution.
"Later it reverted to the Crown, and in 1309 Edward II granted the manor to his son-in-law, Ralph Monthermer.
"For nearly 250 years it was in the hands of owners who were either connected by blood or marriage to the Sovereign."

Archaeological dig in pub garden hailed 'huge success' as Roman remains found
An archaeological dig was opened to the public in the garden of the Rose & Crown pub in St Albans, which is being redeveloped, between Friday and Monday An archaeologist has praised a publicly accessible archaeological dig as a "huge success." The Rose & Crown pub in St Albans, currently undergoing redevelopment, opened its excavation site to the public from Friday to Monday. Volunteers from St Albans Museums unearthed medieval and Roman pottery during the dig, which visitors could examine closely on-site. The news comes after sinkhole in York opened up revealing the site of a former Roman legionary fortress. Archaeologist Tom Lucas remarked: "It's just given people a chance to see it happening and to understand the planning process and then the excavation process- it's the museum's mission to share this with everybody, I think it's been a huge success." Lucas highlighted that some of the Roman artefacts found, including pottery, tesserae, and painted wall plaster, were previously undiscovered in that area of the city, reports the Express. A handling table was set up at the dig for visitors to view materials freshly excavated. Children had the opportunity to learn about washing unearthed pottery fragments. The four-day event attracted approximately 2,400 visitors. This excavation was a collaborative effort involving drp archaeology, Minerva Archaeology Ltd, Verulamium Museum, with additional input from Place Services and Historic England. Minerva Archaeology is set to pen a detailed report on their recent discoveries. This will play a crucial role in the upcoming planning deliberations. Mr Lucas shared his insights: "Planning archaeology is not usually seen in this way, it's not hidden, it's just usually on construction sites. People don't really see it going on, but it's happening all around us all the time because it's enshrined in our planning policy. So it's good that it's been seen and everybody enjoyed it."

And another local wrote: "This must be stinky with this heat. Not really a good impression of the town in the busy tourist season." Several members also said that the "grey sludge" appeared to go "all the way down the burn to the Spey", adding that it was "disgusting".

"Scottish Water found a choke in one of the sewage chambers which had been created by fats, oils and greases. "Scottish Water have been in attendance multiple times last week and over the weekend to clear the choke." The spokesperson added that when they contacted Scottish Water on Sunday, "they confirmed there was a clean up operation in progress and they would continue to provide updates". They continued: "Scottish Water are investigating to try and identify the location of where the fats, oils and grease had been put into the sewage network." The Dell of Spey was built in 1997. Water is pumped through it from a natural feed known as the Butcher's Burn. In 2019, it stopped being operational and fell into disrepair, before being restored in 2023, funded through Highland Council's revenue budget.
