Harry Stoke Early Records
Ros Broomhead writes that Harry Stoke took its name from Harris de Filton who once owned it however there is no record of a Harris de Filton in the National Archive. There were 3 manors in the parish of Stoke Gifford. The Giffards and Berkeleys held Stoke and Walls. Harry Stoke was a separate manor held by Aldred in Saxon times, Theobald in Norman times and the Blount and De Filton families in mediaeval times. The Berkeleys bought it in the l6th century.

claiming that a moiety of the tithes of Harry Stoke hamlet belong to

only for the burial facility, and have therefore ceased since the
consecration of Stoke Gifford which is now used instead

Administrative history:
MANOR OF FILTON
According to Atkyns, Sir Thomas FitzNichols and Edward Blount were
both seized of this manor, probably as co-heirs, temp. Ric.II. Thomas
Mallet died seized of it in 22 Eliz.
It appears from Deed No.1. that Filton was sold after Mallet's death
to George Moreton, who on 1 October 1580 mortgaged the manors of
Stoke Harris and Filton and in 1584 conveyed them, together with the
advowson of Filton, to Roger Revell. Richard Revell sold the manor of
Filton and the advowson to John Younge for £950 in 1609
