The remaining hide of the five held of Nigel de Albini in 1086 was held by the Abbot of Thorney in the latter half of the 13th century, and in 1291 his lands in Husborne Crawley were valued in rent at £2. The abbey retained this land in Husborne Crawley during the next century, and in 1343 their property was further increased by a grant of a toft and 9½ acres in Bolnhurst and Husborne Crawley from John de Jakesle. At the Dissolution the value had decreased to £1 11s. 10½d. In 1541 the manor of Bolnhurst and the lands in Husborne Crawley, both part of the possessions of the late abbey, were granted to Sir John St. John, who obtained licence to settle this property on his son Oliver on his marriage with Agnes daughter of Sir Michael Fisher. From this date the Husborne Crawley property descended with Bolnhurst Manor, the lords of which claimed free warren extending into Husborne Crawley at the end of the 18th century.
