These lands were afterwards united with those of Robert Doyley to form the honour of Wallingford, to which Dorney remained attached at least as late as 1540.
Holding under Miles Crispin in 1086 was Ralf, who with Roger was also tenant of Crispin in Little Marlow. Dorney descended with his portion of Little Marlow called Danvers Manor (q.v.) until somewhere near the late 13th century.
