Lordship is a small, waterfront neighborhood in Stratford, Connecticut Stratford , Connecticut . The neighborhood extends onto a peninsula on Long Island Sound and is bounded from the rest of Stratford by Sikorsky Memorial Airport to the north and Short Beach to the north east. Lordship is accessible by only two roads, both parts of Connecticut Route 113 Route 113 . Lordship is home to the Stratford Point Light . History The first inhabitants of Lordship were the Golden Hill Paugussett Indian Nation Paugussetts who had a large village at Fresh Pond and smaller encampments at Stratford Point and at Indian Well areas in Lordship . Indian Well was a fresh water pond where the old trolley line crossed Duck Neck Creek just north of the rotary near the firehouse. When the first settlers arrived in 1639, they found that Indians were using this area to plant corn, so there was little clearing necessary. Originally Lordship, called Great Neck, was a Common Field worked and owned by settlers who returned home to the safety of the palisade fort at Academy Hill at night. Richard Mills was the first to build a farmhouse in Great Neck in the western end near present day Second Avenue. He sold his estate to Joseph Hawley Captain in 1650 and moved. It is in connection with his name that the term Lordship is first found, as applied to a meadow on what is still known as the Lordship farm.

In the early Middle Ages, it was part of the Prince Bishopric of Li ge , which was confirmed in 910. In practice, the area was ruled by the local Berthout family, against the will of the Prince Bishops of Li ge.

They established here the highest jurisdictional court of the Seventeen Provinces, called the Great Council of Mechelen .
