A second manor in Sandy, known after the Dissolution as HASELLS MANOR, belonged to the priory of Chicksands. In 1291 the prior of Chicksands owned the grange of 'Heyseles,' worth £115s., and in 1316 the priory of Chicksands rendered feudal service for lands in Sandy. The temporalities of Chicksands Priory in Sandy were worth £6 in 1537, when they lapsed to the crown on the dissolution of the priory. In 1542 Henry VIII granted Hasells manor to Francis Pygott, who in the same year alienated it to Robert Burgoyne, and in 1635 John Burgoyne, probably a grandson, transferred it to William Britain. In 1712 Baron Britain, grandson of the above John, sold the manor to Heylock Kingsley, whose daughter and heiress married William Pym in 1748, and their direct descendant Francis Pym is at the present day lord of Hasells manor.
