Previous Lords:
A third manor, that of POTTON BURDETTS, derived its name from a family called Burdett, who held in Potton during the thirteenth century. It was split off from the main manor of Potton in 1237, and the overlordship passed to Ada, youngest sister of the earl of Huntingdon. She married Henry Hastings, whose direct descendant John Hastings (1347-96) became earl of Pembroke. The last reference found to this overlordship is in 1507, when Potton Burdetts manor is stated to be held of the honour of Huntingdon.
