Previous Lords:
A second manor called BULLOCKS in Cookham, sometimes described as in Bray, probably comprised the land in Cookham sold in 1493 by Thomas and Richard Bullock to Sir William Norreys. He bequeathed it in 1507 to his son William with remainder in moieties to two other sons Lionel and Richard. Sir Lionel Norreys died seised of it in 1536, and it afterwards passed to the Norreys family of Fyfield, John Norreys settling it in 1548 on his son William, who succeeded him in 1577. Sir John Norreys, son of William, settled the manor in 1606 on himself for life with remainder to his sister-in-law Elizabeth and her husband Thomas Lord Erskine in tail. Its descent has not been further traced.
