Previous Lords:
A family called Maryon, resident in Cople in the 16th century, appear to have given their name to a property later known as MARYONS or MALENS MANOR, which in 1545 was stated to be held of Lord Braye as of the barony of Bedford. It appears to have originated in the messuage called Horwodys which Thomas Maryon held in Cople about the middle of the 15th century. On his death his widow Isabel enfeoffed William Bole and George Gostwick, on condition that they should re-enfeoff her and her heirs. When required to do so they refused, and between 1463 and 1470 she brought an action in Chancery against them. This property was owned by Godfrey Hatley at his death in 1545. It is stated to have belonged previously to Matthew Stepynge; William Hatley, son and heir of Godfrey, was then six years of age. No further trace has been found of this property.
