The second half of Joce de Dinan's land, subsequently known as GRANDISONS, did not come into the possession of Hawise de Dinan and her husband Fulk Fitz Warin till 1190, when Fulk paid £100 for his wife's share. He was dead in 1198 and Hawise was dead in 1220, her son Fulk being her heir. A daughter of this Fulk or of his successor married John Tregoz, and had her father's land in Lambourn as her dower, the Fitz Warins retaining an overlordship. John Tregoz had a manor in Lambourn in 1272, and in 1284 claimed part of the hundred in right of his wife Mabel. In 1285 he and Mabel granted their land here to their daughter Sibyl and her husband William de Grandison and their heirs. William de Grandison was the tenant in 1316 and died about 1335, leaving a son and heir Peter. The manor was settled by Peter de Grandison on his nephew Thomas, who had seisin on his uncle's death in 1358. Thomas granted it to John Pecche, who in 1369 conveyed his interest to Sir Nicholas de Tamworth and others apparently for sale to John de Estbury senior and John de Estbury junior. The grant was subsequently declared invalid on account of the settlement on Sibyl de Grandison, and on the death of Thomas in 1375 the representatives of his aunts, Mabel, Agnes and Katharine, became his heirs. Mabel had four daughters and co-heirs, Alice who married Thomas Wake of Blisworth (Northants.), Katharine who married Robert de Todenham, Sibyl who in 1382 was represented by her grandson Roger Beauchamp, and Maud whose son and heir was Thomas de Fauconberg. Agnes de Grandison had married a Northwode. Roger de Northwode, her great-grandson, had her interest in 1382. Katharine de Grandison was the wife of William de Montagu Earl of Salisbury, and her heir was her son William. Most of these shares came ultimately into the possession of the Essex family. Thomas Wake of Blisworth conveyed his twelfth to Thomas Marchaunt and Thomas his son in 1411. Thomas Marchaunt was one of the tenants in 1428, and his share appears to have passed with the manor of East Bockhampton (q.v.) to the family of Garrard. Edward Garrard died in possession of one twelfth of the manor in 1530, his heir being a grandson Henry. In 1575 Henry Garrard conveyed this estate to Thomas Essex, and it subsequently followed the descent of Plukenets Manor.
