The manor of MAVORN or GLINTELLS originated in land in Bolnhurst that early belonged to the priory of Canons Ashby. The monks' property in Bolnhurst and Thurleigh was in 1291 worth £2 2s. 6d., whilst at the Dissolution their rents in Bolnhurst were estimated at £2 18s. 8d. Their tenant at this later date was John Franklin, whose house, together with woods called Shortewood and Glintells, were in 1545 granted to George Acworth and Edward Butler, whilst four years later a further grant of the priory's lands in Bolnhurst and Thurleigh to Edmund Clarke and others included 'a messuage called Maverns in the tenure of John Franklin.' Despite these grants the property remained in the hands of the Franklin family, whose representative John Liell Franklin holds at the present day.
