There are Court Rolls of Carlton Manor preserved at the Record Office. The courts were held by Thomas Lucy between the years 1512 and 1517. At a court held in June 1516 William Michell was summoned for lodging a certain strange woman in his house to the injury of his neighbours, and was warned to remove her on pain of 20s. Some twelve months later, in July 1517, however, he pleaded that the house wherein he kept her was outside the fee of the lord of the manor, and therefore he refused to answer to his jurisdiction. This manor included a park. In 1278 a wooded close of 20 acres formed part of its extent, and in 1312 John de Pabenham received a licence to inclose and impark his woods at Carlton, which were within the limits of the king's forest. Carlton Park is mentioned in extents of the manor bearing dates 1321–2, 1409 and 1420, and in 1495 Edmund Lucy sold to John Fisher and John Taylor a wood called 'Pakenham Parke in the lordship of Carlton, with fre incurse and owtecurse for the fallinge carrynge and remeadynge of the same wode.'
