Early Origins of the Methan familyThe surname Methan was first found in the East Riding of Yorkshire at Metham, a township, in the parish and union of Howden, wapentake of Howdenshire. "The township comprises 920 acres, of which two-thirds are arable. Metham Hall was built by Sir George Metham, whose family were long seated here." 1 At the time of the Domesday census, in 1086, Metham was occupied by Ilbert de Lacy, a Norman noble. Simon Mepeham (or Meopham or Mepham) who died in 1333, was Archbishop of Canterbury from 1328 to 1333. Some of the family were later found at Marr in the West Riding of Yorkshire. "It was once the residence of the family of Metham, of whose spacious and handsome mansion considerable remains existed some years since." 1 Early History of the Methan familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Methan research.
