The descent of that moiety of Pavenham Manor which passed to Katherine Pabenham, and later became known as CHENEYS MANOR, now remains to be traced. Katherine married Thomas de Aylesbury, and on his death William Cheyne, by whom she had a son Laurence Cheyne. His grandson Sir Thomas Cheyne some time previous to his death in 1513–14 arranged a marriage between his daughter and sole heir Elizabeth (aged at the time of the inquisition nine and more) and Thomas son and heir of Sir Nicholas Vaux, who can have been little more than four years of age. This marriage was eventually consummated, and Pavenham or Cheneys Manor, as it is called to distinguish it from the various other manors in the parish, became the property of the Vauxes of Harrowden, whose history has been traced under Carlton (q.v.) until in 1649 Edward Vaux Lord Harrowden alienated it to John Alston, whose family had previously acquired Pavenham Manor (q.v.), with which its descent is henceforward identical. The last mention that has been found of it individually occurs in 1687, but it has since become completely re-absorbed.
