Previous Lords:
There were two tenants of Nigel de Albini at Domesday: Chetel, who owned 1⅓ hides formerly belonging to Golderon, a man of Levenet, and Bernard, who held 1 hide ½ virgate, including a mill worth 13s. 4d. This dual tenancy of the barony of Cainhoe appears to have continued until the 14th century, when the share of Bernard (recognizable by the presence of the mill) disappears. By 1260 John de Grey had acquired Bernard's property in Carlton, for in that year he conceded the right of Ralph Perot to lands in Carlton (including a water-mill), for which the latter had paid a yearly rent of 5½ marks for fourteen years. In 1278–9 Ralph Perot held 1 carucate of land, including a mill in Carlton. He was apparently still a tenant of the Greys, for in 1302–3 Reginald de Grey was holding of Cainhoe barony together with Henry la Leigh, and as the latter was holding alone in 1316, and no further mention has been made of the de Grey interest, there must have been about this date some transference to the La Leighs.
