TURVILE

From which of the ten Seigniories of Tourville in the Duchy of Normandy the English Turviles came, cannot now be ascertained. Certain it is that William de Tourville accompanied Duke William to Hastings, and that soon after the conquest, the Tourvilles became extensive proprietors in the counties of Warwick and Leicester, giving in the latter their name to the manor of Normanton Turvile. The present representative is GEORGE FORTESCUE TURVILE, Esq., of Husband's Bosworth, co. Leicester.
