FERRERS of Bere Ferrers and Newton Ferrers, Devon.
Ferrieres: Manche, arr. Mortain, cant. Le Tilleul.
In 1086 Bere Ferrers (Birland) and Newton Ferrers (Niwetona) were both held by Reginald de Valletorte of Robert count of Mortain. At a later date both were held by Ferrers of Valletorte as of the barony of Trematon. The earliest recorded existence of this family in Devon was Ralf de Ferrers in 1168. Ferrieres is 12 kil. S of Mortain and 26 kil. N of Vautorte (dept. and arr. Mayenne, cant. Ernee). [Origins of some Anglo-Norman Families]

Reginald also held Fardell Manor, Cornwood, Devonshire, England at the time of the Domesday (1086). This also ended up eventually with the Ferrers.
