In 1086 Glen was the tenant of Alured, in Wymington Manor, whose history during the next hundred years is not ascertainable. It appears in 1215 as late the property of Peter de Surive, and was then made the subject of a temporary grant to the Archbishop of Dublin. In 1224 the king granted this same estate to Robert de la Briwere 'in our service at Dover,' and this grant was confirmed in 1231. In 1234 Robert de Briwere received a grant of six oaks from the royal forest of Salcey to aid in building a house for himself at Wymington. His son William de Briwere succeeded his father whilst still under age, and his wardship was conferred on Ralph de St. Sampson, whose daughter Joan he eventually married. In 1257 William Briwere alienated 2 carucates of land and two messuages in Wymington to Isabella Cardun, the wife of William le Mercer, who still held the manor in 1276. She died in 1284, leaving as heir her son John de Exmouth. The property at this time included a messuage, a dove-cote, 120 acres of arable land, three 'nativi,' whose services were worth 9s. each, two cottars, and 16s. 1d. rent of free tenants. John de Exmouth held in Wymington in 1328, and died in 1347 seised of this property, which he was stated to hold at this time by the service of finding 'one Hobelar in the king's war within the realm of England at his own cost for forty days at 6d. a day.' He left as heir a son John, whose daughter Clementia died under age in 1361, when her heir was declared to be Richard son of William Harcourt. Immediately after her death Richard Harcourt alienated her lands without licence to John Curteys, to whom belonged Wymington Manor, in which this property subsequently becomes merged.
