 The manor of Hale does not appear in the Domesday Book of 1086.However, there was a hide of land in nearby Charford held of the King by Alwi son of Torber.Alwi was also holding West Tytherley at the time of the Domesday Book, and since Richard de Cardenvill, at the beginning of the 13th century, was holding Hale and West Tytherley of the King it is possible that this Charford estate was Hale.
