The Holcotes, on the other hand, had an estate in Harwell called the manor of BROUNCE, or BRENNES, in 1484. In that year Richard Holcote and his wife Margaret, John Holcote and his wife Joan, and John Erley and his wife Christian sold the 'manor of Brounes' to Thomas and William Danvers and the heirs of Thomas. This may have been the messuage in 'le Welstreet' which with certain lands had belonged to Sir Geoffrey de Chelleth, clerk, and was released by his heir in 1358 to Richard 'Brounz' of Harwell and Alice le Bonde, and to the heirs of Richard.
