Previous Lords:
The land in EASTON was not included in the demesne of the abbey, but half a hide was held in 1190 by Wilfrid, a free tenant, for 3s., while the same tenant held another half hide for 2s. and performed certain services. After the dissolution of the monastery the manor of Easton was granted, as we have seen, to Sir Thomas Parry, and subsequently followed the descent of Welford. Certain lands in Easton, however, were sold in 1545 to Robert Browne, goldsmith of London, but were probably among the lands purchased by Thomas Parry of Edward Yate and Jane his wife in 1580. Since then all the lands here appear to have passed with the manor of Welford.
