The next under-tenant of whom mention has been found was Gueres de Palences, who by an early return held a quarter of a fee from the abbey in Sandford, Chilton and Leverton (in Chilton Foliat). In the Testa de Nevill Alice de Sandford is given as holding one fee in Chilton and Pibworth from the abbot which Thomas de Sandford had previously held. From the Sandfords the holding passed to the Paynels and was held in the first half of the 14th century by John Paynel. The manor of Bayworth, which was also held by John Paynel, was granted by him in 1324 to his uncle Hugh Paynel, parson of Chilton, who gave it to the abbey of Abingdon. In 1359 Henry de la Poyle died seised of a carucate of land in Chilton held of the Abbot of Abingdon as of his manor of Bayworth. Thomas de la Poyle, son and heir of Henry, held lands and tenements in Chilton, and his successor John de la Poyle was holding rents of assize and a court baron there at his death in 1423. John's heir was his grandson Robert, who died without issue in 1446 when the title passed to the descendants of Margery de la Poyle, daughter of John and Mabel de la Poyle and apparently sister of the first-mentioned Henry. Margery had married John Gainsford of Crowhurst (co. Surr.). In 1478–9 the Chilton property was settled on John Gainsford, jun., gentleman, son of John Gainsford, esq., late of Crowhurst, and Catherine his wife, and Elizabeth Martyn, daughter of John and Catherine Martyn. Before the middle of the 16th century the estate is found under the name of the manor of GAINSFORDS in the hands of John Latton (see below under Symeons). It then followed the descent of the manor of Symeons until 1601, and was sold in that year by William Latton to James Hyde and John Stampe. At this date a lease of forty-one years formerly held by John Broker had been transferred to John North, but nothing further is known of its history.
