Walter Giffard possessed 5 hides at the time of the Survey, which constituted a second MILLO MANOR. This manor reappears later as the knight's fee which Walter Marshal earl of Pembroke held in Millo. On the death of Walter without male heirs this fee passed to his sister Maud, and through her, as in the case of a moiety of the Edworth overlordship (q.v.) to the earls of Norfolk. Ralph de Langetot held this manor of Walter Giffard at the Survey, but no further trace of tenants has been found until the fifteenth century, when the family of Enderby are found holding. In 1474 Maud Bothe, widow of John Enderby, died seised of a messuage and land in Millo held of this overlordship. The inquisition held at the death of her grandson John Enderby in 1509 states that he died seised of the manor of Millo held in a similar way. Francis Pygott, who married his daughter Eleanor Enderby, transferred the manor in 1544 to John Poley, who held it till his death in 1559, when he left a son Francis as heir. One further mention of this manor has been found in 1591, when Michael Fynderne and Alice his wife alienated it by fine to George Smith, after which all further trace of it is lost.
