HUXLOE HUNDRED 



WOODFORD 



known as TIIORLET'S MANOR. They had both 

 died by 1289, when Roger Bozoun did lionuige for the 

 lands of his wife Alice, daughter and heir of Richard and 

 Alice Trailly.'" In 1298 John Spigurncl did homage 

 for these lands, presumably in right of his wife Alice, 

 the widow of Bozoun.** In 1322, however, her son 

 John Bozoun succeeded to the manor.*' Thomas 

 Bozoun, probably his brother, was the tenant in 

 1348*' and died seised in 1361, leaving his son Henry 

 a minor, whose wardsiiip was granted to Sir Richard 

 la Zouche, knt., and Richard de Tissington, one of 

 the king's clerks.** Henry died before 1393, his 

 heir being his sister Alice, the wife of Walter Ilger.** 

 Before 1443, the manor had passed, presumably by 

 marriage, to the Thorlcy family, as at that time it was 

 apparently held by Isabel Thorley.''* She was suc- 

 ceeded before 1453 by John Thorley,'* who died in or 

 before 1508 when his son William did homage.*^ 

 William died in 1515 leaving a son and heir named 

 Richard.'^ By sale or inheritance it came into the 

 possession of Anthony Muscott and his wife Eleanor, 

 the daughter and heir of William Burton.** Anthony 

 died before 1605, when William Muscott and his 

 wife and Eleanor Muscott, widow, sold Thorley's 

 manor to Thomas Abbott.** In 1652, John Abbott 

 sold it to Oliver St. John, the lord of Woodford 

 manor (q.v.).** 



Joan, the younger daughter of Joan Maufe, married 

 Geoffrey Trailly, who did homage in 1275.*^ They 

 were succeeded in 1292 by their son William,*" 

 whose heir William was holding in 1315.*^ In 1 3 16, 

 the tenant of this fourth part of the manor was 

 Alice Trailly, presumably the widow or daughter of 

 William,**' but in the same year his brother Henry 

 did homage for tenements in Woodford.''^ In 1322, 

 when Henry did homage to the new abbot, Adam de 

 Boothby, for a quarter fee, he was said to be the 

 brother and heir of William Trailly.'- In 1332, he 

 settled the fourth part of the manor on himself and 

 his wife .Aubrey for their lives with remainder to 

 William, son of Miles de la Hay, and his wife, Emma, 

 possibly Henry's daughter.*^ In 1348, John de Walde- 

 grave was holding one share of the Maufe inheritance, 

 but only in right of his wife, while William de la 

 Hay held land in Woodford by charter.** It passed 

 to John de la Hay, who died in or before 1365, leaving 

 his heir a minor.** The latter was probably Hugh de 

 la Hay, whose daughter a"^,' heir married William 

 Rockingham.** The latter did homage in 1415,*' but 



there were possibly other daughters, as the property 

 was subdivided at this time.*" Rokingiiam's share 

 seems to have passed before 1437 to William Farn- 

 ham.** Another William Farnham, probably his 

 grandson, succeeded in 1507 or 1508,'" and it 

 seems possible that it was this land which Robert 

 Barley sold in 1 562 to Simon Mallory as a fourth of 

 a fourth of the manor of Woodford." If so it was 

 presumably afterwards held with the main manor 

 of Woodford (q.v.). 



Another part of the de la Hay share of Woodford 

 was known as LEN'TON'S MANOR. It may pro- 

 bably be identified with the tenements, consisting of 

 a messuage and a carucate of land which passed before 

 1332 from Bartholomew de Datchingham to John 

 Lenton.'* In 1428, Lenton's Manor was held by 

 Roger J^enton,'^ and he still 

 seems to have been the tenant 

 in 1455.'* Thomas, probably 

 his grandson, died seised in 

 1505 and was succeeded by 

 his son John.'* Robert suc- 

 ceeded his father John in 1558 

 and John, son of Robert, was 

 followed by his son Simon 

 Lenton, who was holding in 

 1616. His heir was his sister 

 Anne, wife of Sir Miles Fleet- 

 wood, and either her daughter 

 Anne or she in her widowhood 

 may have married John Shaw, who, with Anne his 

 wife, was holding the manor in 1641." It was sold 

 in 1657 by Simon Shaw and Anne Shaw, widow, 

 to Oliver St. John, lord of the chief manor of Wood- 

 ford (q.v.)." 



A third share of Hugh de la Hay's lands came into 

 the possession of a family named Holt," and its sub- 

 sequent history presumably followed that of their 

 other holding in Woodford, called Trailly Place 

 (q.v.). 



In 1622, when Simon Mallory sold his manors in 

 Woodford to Sir Rowland St. John, a manor called 

 CLEMENTS MANOR was included in the sale,'» 

 but it does not seem possible to trace its previous 

 history. In 1 369, however, John Clement of Woodford 

 and his wife Beatrice granted seven acres and one 

 rood of land of her inheritance to Richard de Tissing- 

 ton, clerk, but this is apparently the only mention of 

 the family.""
