Previous Lords:
At the time of the Survey William Spec held EYWORTH MANOR, then extended at 9 hides, of the king in chief, and it continued to be thus held until 1343, when Edward le Despenser is described as holding it of the abbot of Warden. In 1428 the manor was held of the same overlordship, in 1451 the jurors were unable to discover of whom it was held, and finally by the attainder of Richard Carleton for treason in 1486 it returned definitely to the crown.
