Corbett of Imber Court, Surrey: Handbook to The Environs of London. First published 1876.Thames Ditton, Surrey: Imber or Ember Court, by the Mole, which flows through the grounds, about a mile east of the village, is a large plain mansion, the old brick front having been covered with stucco, and wings added in the last century. The manor of Imber was empaled as part of the Chase of Hampton Court by Henry VIII., "in the latter days of the king, when he waxed heavy with sickness, age and corpulency, and might not travel so readily abroad, but was constrained to seek his game and pleasure ready at hand." Shortly after the death of the king the inhabitants of Thames Ditton and adjoining parishes petitioned the Council of State for relief, and, an inquisition having been made, the enclosed lands were ordered to be dechased and the deer removed to Windsor and elsewhere. Charles I granted the manor of Imber to Sir Dudley Carleton, Viscount Dorchester. After several transfers it became the property of the Bridges, and was carried by the marriage of Ann Bridges in 1720 to Arthur Onslow, afterwards celebrated as Speaker of the House of Commons, who made Imber Court his principal residence. His son, Lord Cranley, sold the manor (of Thames Ditton) in 1784 to George Porter, sq. Imber Court was for awhile the residence of Sir Francis Burdett. It is now the seat of C.J. Corbet, Esq.
This last was Charles Joseph Corbett, who was born at Mareham le Fen, Lincolnshire. He was the father of 6 children including Sir Julian Stafford Corbett, the naval historian. This Corbett family originally came from Avenbury, Herefordshire.

Corbet of Shawbury, SAL: Shawbury the village and its people' by Evelyn Lea. "For many centuries Shawbury had very close connections with the family of Corbets. The following is a brief resume of such: The Corbet or de Corbeau family had come over with William the Conqueror. They were granted lands on the Shropshire border and eventually, over the centuries, came to own much of Shropshire. A son from Caus, their original Norman home, married a Saxon heiress of Moreton Turet. Thereafter the name being Moreton Corbet.
Shawbury. Stanton, High Hatton, part of Edgebolton, Little Wytheford, Shawbury Heath and of course all the hamlets to the north of Moreton Corbet were part of the estate.
A certain Richard Corbet lived at Poynton in the 1500's, whilst Sir Andrew moved to Shawbury Park. Sir Andrew's eldest son Robert lived at Sowbatch. He was a diplomat. Because of his travelling he also had a residence in Buckinghamshire. He inherited the estate on his father's death, and he was responsible for the Italian type architecture of the Castle.
However, he and brother Richard died quite young so the estate went to his younger brother Vincent, who was granted a knighthood in 1612/ His son, Sir Andrew, conceived the idea of moving the family seat from Shawbury Park to a more spacious one at Acton Reynold. The previous home there had fallen into disrepair.
The names Vincent and Andrew seemed to be the dominant ones as landowners until in 1915 Sir Gerald Vincent (Corbet) inherited the estate. He once again moved the family residence. This time it was to Preston Brockhurst Manor. As there was no heir, great changes took place after his death."
Shawbury, Salop
From John Maxwell Corbett: In Battlefield Church some 3 or 4 miles out of Shrewsbury on the A49 Whitchurch Road, is an impressive monument to Sir John Corbet who died in the 19th century. It states that he could trace his line of direct descent through 21 generations from le Corbet who accompanied the Conqueror. Battlefield Church was built to commemorate the fallen of the Battle of Shrewsbury 1403. It therefore seems to have no parish as such, or at least there is no visible village, the church standing in open fields some distance from the road from which it is visible. Because of this it was in very poor structural condition when I saw it with one of the tower pinnacles lying where it had fallen through the nave roof.
