The Bartlett family, by tradition, is said to have been founded by one Adam Barttelot who was esquire to Guido de Brionne (or de Bryan). That lord came from the Liseux district of Normandy to England with William the Conqueror.

When the Conqueror divided the lands that he conquered he gave Sussex to Earl Roger de Montgomerie. Tradition states that Adam Barttelot settled in Stopham and received lands there from his companion in arms, Earl Roger de Montgomerie. The Earl also gave the town of Stopham, in the Rape of Arundel and the Rotherbridge Hundred, to one Ralph. This was before surnames came into prominence. This Ralph took the name of that place as his surname and was seen living in Stopham in 1248 and was either the father of or identical with Sir Ralph de Stopham, who died in Stopham in 1271/2.
One descendant of this Adam Barttelot, John Barttelot, obtained a third of the manor of Stopham through his marriage with Joan de Stopham at the close of the Fourteenth Century. The manor was reunited in 1555 when William Barttelot purchased the remaining two-thirds. Thus they became the Lords of Stopham.
