The priory of Chicksands founded by Pain de Beauchamp owned land in Little Staughton in the 13th century. Possibly it formed part of the original endowment of the priory, but the first mention of it occurs in a charter of confirmation of William de Beauchamp, grandson of Pain. In 1244 the master of the Knights Templars granted the Prior of Chicksands common of pasture in Little Staughton for 518 sheep, 6 oxen and 8 pigs. At the time of the Dissolution the rents of the priory's land in the parish were valued at £1 0s. 2d. per annum. The further history of this land has not been traced.
