Previous Lords:
The land held in the early 13th century by Peter Malherbe was granted in 1233 to Hugh de Corneville to hold during the king's pleasure. Its subsequent history cannot be traced with any continuity. In 1316, however, it was in the hands of Andrew de Hautot, and it seems probable that it must be identified with the manor of ANDREW'S COURT in West Hanney, which begins to be mentioned in the next century. In 1408 Henry Archdekne granted it to William Massy and his heirs. Thirty-five years later it was in the possession of Peter Fettiplace, who died in 1443, leaving a nephew and heir John. In 1511 it was conveyed by John Fettiplace of Buckland and his mother Amice to John Yate. For several generations it followed the descent of the Lyford estate of the Yates, and it was finally conveyed by John Yate and others in 1670 to George Eyston and John Weedon. It could not be identified at the beginning of the 19th century.
