A second manor in Sutton, that of ENDERBIES, appears in the fifteenth century, and appears to have originated in a grant by the crown to the Enderbys after Sutton manor fell to the duchy of Lancaster. The first mention of it occurs in 1488, when Sir Richard Enderby died seised of a messuage and 24 acres of land in Sutton, held of the king as of the manor of Sutton, parcel of the duchy of Lancaster. It appears to have continued to belong to the Enderbys until in 1529 an exchange was effected between Francis Pygott (who had married Eleanor Enderby) and John Burgoyne, the former giving Enderbies manor (here first so called) in exchange for lands in Edworth, Stratton, Holme, and Astwick. John Burgoyne left the manor to his son Thomas in 1541, who acquired Sutton manor (q.v.) in 1544, and these two manors have since followed the same descent. The smaller manor did not immediately lose its separate identity, and as late as 1731 it is still distinguished by name from the more important manor.
