The manor of duryard was first recorded in 1146. Its postmedieval extent equates with st davids parish but it may be of pre-conquest origin. The bulk of the manor was divided into c.50 tenements and leased out. In 1690 sir thomas jefford (or gifford) leased 55 acres and built great duryard house near cowley bridge (ea).

The manor is first recorded in 1146. Although the 12th century boundaries of the manor are unknown its post medieval extent appears coterminous with St. David's parish. Comparison with the recorded bounds of two known Anglo Saxon estates to the north (Creedy Lands and Stoke Canon) make it likely that Duryard is also of pre-conquest origin.
