Previous Lords:
A second estate in this parish at the Survey was LITTLE ODELL MANOR. It was assessed at 4½ hides and one-third of a virgate, and belonged at this time to Count Eustace, the successor of Alwold, a thegn who had held under the Confessor. The overlordship of this manor, like other of Count Eustace's property, became attached to the honour of Boulogne, and follows the same descent as that of Stevington. In 1278 Baldwin Wake was overlord of this manor. The Wakes continued to exercise paramountcy until c. 1441, at which date it was held of the Earl of Huntingdon.
