In the early 12th century Bernard de Baskerville, on becoming a monk at Gloucester Abbey, endowed it with a hide in Combe Baskerville. The grant was confirmed by later members of the Baskerville family, by King Stephen and Henry II, and by Archbishop Theobald; but by 1535 the abbey had apparently lost the land. Similarly 1½ hide granted to the Knights Templar by Henry Husee has not been traced at a later date. Bruern Abbey had acquired a tenement in Westcote by the 16th century when it was leased to Thomas Smith. It was granted to Edmund Powell in 1544.

The land in 'Iccumbe' held in 1086 by Roger de Lacy has been ascribed to Westcote, but it is more likely that it was the part of Icomb parish that lay in Gloucestershire.

BERNARD de Baskerville . The Historia sancti Petri Gloucestriæ records the donation of "unam hidam terræ in Cumba" made "tempore Hamelini abbatis" [abbot from 1148 to 1171] made by "Bernardus de Baskevyle", confirmed by "Walterus [et] Robertus de Baskevyle"[376]. "Walterus de Baskerevilla" confirmed the donation of land "in Cumba" made to Gloucester St Peter by "Hugardus [presumably an error for Bernardus] de Baskerevilla patruus meus" in 1157, by undated charter[377].

…, n 1109, Robert de Baskerville, on his return from the Holy Land, granted lands to Gloucester Abbey . Either he, or another of the same name, held five knight's fees in 1165 of Hugh de Laci in Herefordshire; and Radulph de Baskerville one fee under Adam de Port in the same county. Combe continued theirs for at least 200 years; and they were frequent benefactors to St. Peter's Abbey, where one of them, >>> Bernard de Baskerville <<<, assumed the habit of a monk.
