The site upon which Yattendon castle stood was originally occupied by a moated manor house. This house was held by Sir Richard Merbrook by the late fourteenth century. His daughter, Alice, married Sir John Norreys of Ockwells (d. 1 September 1466), a Knight of the Shire for Berkshire, and keeper of the wardrobe for King Henry VI. The castle was then in the ownership of the Norreys family for over 200 years. Sir John bought many neighbouring estates and received a Royal licence to crenellate the manor house on 20 January 1448 and to empark some 600 acres. John and Alice's son, Sir William Norreys (1433–4 January 1507) later inherited the castle. He was among the army King Henry VII brought from Brittany in 1485 and was present at the Battle of Bosworth.
