In 12 Ric. II., 1388, in the deed of the partition of the lands of Alan de 

 Heton — that great accumulator of land — Hethpole occurs.* In 1 Hen. IV., 

 1399, Sir Henry de Heton still held lands in Hethepole. f In 13 Hen. TV. 

 (1410) Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Sir Alan de Heton, (who had three 

 daughters,) held the third part of the vill of Hethepole as of the barony of 

 Muschamp.J She appears to have died 2 Hen. VI., 1423, possessed ofjthe 

 third part of Hethepole. || What became of her share has not been traced. 



IV. Heron. 



William Heron of Hadiston, the inquest on whose death was 25 Edw. I., 

 1258, acquired Ford, Crookham and Kimmerston, by right of his wife, 

 Mary, daughter of Odinell de Ford, senior ; and these manors before her 

 death he conveyed to his son Gilbert. His wife, Mary, claimed a third 

 part of Ford, Crookham, Kimmerston and Hethpol, 28 Edw. I., 1300.§ 

 Her father, Odinell de Ford, held one fourth of Hethpol of the barony of 

 Muschampe. 



On the 14th Edward HI., 1341, besides the grant to William Heron, son 

 of Roger to castellate his mansion of Ford, he had free warren among other 

 places in his manors of Ford, Crookham, Kimmerston, Hethpol, efcclf A 

 deed, 31 Edward III., (1356-7) shows that Thomas and Robert Herons in 

 the Court at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, recovered their seizin in a plea against 

 Thomas Sampson and others of 6 bovates of land, and four score acres of 

 meadow, with pertinents in Heathpole.** By an inquisition on the death 

 of William Heron, by virtue of a mandate dated 6 Feb., 6 Hen. VI., 1427, 

 held at Alnwick, 18th June, he was seized in his demesne as of a fief of 

 two parts of the fourth part of the manor of Heghpole ; this, as well as 

 Hedderslaw and Bollesdon, being held of the heirs of Philip Darcv, Knight. 

 John Heron, 10 years old, was his nearest heir. ft In 18 Henry VI., 1439 

 Henry, Earl of Northumberland, and others were appointed to have the 

 custody of his land, during the minority of his son. He died seized of two 

 parts of the fourth part of the manor of Heghpol, then waste, amounting 

 to 60 acres of land and four score acres of pasture, valued at 6s. 8d. by 

 the year.JJ
