The Prior and convent of Caldwell also held land here, which appears to have included a hermitage and grange, for in 1271 Simon of Langenhoe when about to milk a cow belonging to the prior at his hermitage and grange in Milton Ernest received a 'mau del flaunke' from which he died immediately. In 1279 half a virgate of arable land and 6 rods of pasture, being part of this property, was held by the prior of John Erneys for three masses for the souls of John's ancestors. The sum total of their land and rents in Milton Ernest and the neighbouring parish of Clapham in 1291 amounted to £2 2s. 6d., while in 1342 it was assessed at the same amount. At the Dissolution their property in Milton and Thurleigh was valued at £1 17s. 10d. per annum. This land formed part of the grant made by Henry VIII to Henry Audely and John Maynard.
