The estates of Wihtgar Ælfricsson were valued at £284 in 1066, and were concentrated comprised the four great demesne manors of Clare, Hundon and Desning, in the hundred of Risbridge in south-west Suffolk, and Thaxted in Dunmow Hundred in the adjoining area of north-west Essex. These four manors, valued at £165 in 1066, made up the core of the Anglo-Norman honor of Clare under Richard Fitz Gilbert. Wihtgar's father established a collegiate church at Clare with seven prebends under the rule of a priest named Leodmer. The church was placed under the lordship of Wihtgar, with Abbot Leofstan of Bury St Edmunds assuming spiritual responsibility. Wihtgar may have occupied a tower within the abbey at Bury St Edmunds.
