 Raymond Edwin Bowlby's Origin of the Bowlby Surname
Gautier Giffard accepted this as his chief honor, and established his family in Longueville, apparently leaving his subfeudary honor of Bolebec to his brother Hugue, since Hugue de Bolebec joined Walter Giffard, Counte de Longueville, in the donation of the church of Bolebec to the abbey of Berney in 1061.
Walter de Bolebec, second son of Hugh de Bolebec, succeeded his brother, Hugh, in the barony and died before 1185, leaving a daughter, Isabel, and possibly a second daughter, Constance.
Isabel de Bolebec, daughter of Walter, was nine years old at the death of her father, and became the ward of Alberic de Vere, Earl of Oxford, who paid the King 500 marks in 1191 in order that his son might marry her.

If this solution is correct, the allegation that John Giffard and Margaret were close cousins was perhaps the result of the mistaken belief in some quarters that Margaret's mother was a daughter of Hugh Giffard, rather than his step daughter.

 Stonehouse: Manors and other estates | British History Online
About 1135 Ellis Giffard had an estate in Stonehouse manor presumably as the under-tenant of Walter de Clare, (Footnote 86) and the Giffards of Brimpsfield (Footnote 87) probably held Stonehouse from the de Clares during the 12th century and early 13th.

 HISTORY-CHURCH
The font which now stands in the south aisle near the porch is of Purbeck Marble; it has a square panelled basin and a large circular stem surrounded by four small pillars, and a square pedestal ; it dates from about 1200 when it almost certainly replaced a Saxon font.
The pulpit, the front of the priests stalls and the pews in the centre of the nave are of carved oak dating from the third quarter of the 17th century commonly known as Jacobean, the carving being done by "Walter" of Maiden Bradley, who also carved the pews in the Church at Mere.
There are none of the original windows left - the large single light window in the Chancel was once filled with painted glass, brought here from Bulstrode Park in Bucks in 1890; it depicted the conversion of St Paul and was removed in1959 owing to its precarious state of repair.
