The second manor was held in alod of King Edward the Confessor by Edmund, and at the time of the Domesday Survey by Roger de Lacy. He was banished in 1092, when his lands were forfeited and given by the king to his brother Hugh de Lacy. The history of this manor is obscure until the 13th century, when the Abbess of Romsey had a holding in East Enborne, which may perhaps have been the same estate. The land was held of her by Nicholas Pigun, and in 1256 the king confirmed a grant of the rents here made by Constance Abbess of Romsey to John son of Walter of Romsey until he should be provided with a benefice of the value of £30 per annum. Later the abbess appears to have enfeoffed Thomas de Abberbury of Donnington, who granted the lands for life to James de Crawley and Agnes his wife. Thomas died in 1307, leaving as his heir his brother Walter, who seems to have released his right in it either to the Crawleys or to Walter Wodelok. Wodelok died seised of it in 1342, and since there seems to be no further mention of it as a separate manor, and land in East Enborne appears after this date among the appurtenances of West Enborne Manor, it presumably became a part of that estate.
