Under King Edward the Confessor Ravan, a man of Ulmar of Eaton, held and could assign to whom he wished the land which Pirot owned in Beeston in 1086. This, together with that which he held of Eudo in Northill (see above), was doubtless comprised in the four fees which his descendant Ralph possessed in 1166 of the fief which had been Eudo's. From the Pirots a third manor in Beeston and Northill derived its first name PEROTS, later known as BEESTON-CALDECOTE alias TRUMPINGTONS. This manor formed part of the barony of Eaton, but between the years 1369 and 1379 passed to the lords of Groby, after which the overlordship followed the same descent as that of Moggerhanger Manor (q.v.), though in the case of Beeston-Caldecote one later reference has been found in 1510 to the overlordship of Thomas Marquess of Dorset. An interesting survival occurred at the inclosure of the parishes of Northill and Sandy in 1780, when an allotment of land was allowed for Dam Acre or Dame Margaret's Holme, which was still held by copy of court roll of the manor of Sandy, the name recalling the tenure of this manor by Margaret Trumpington in the 15th century.
