A second manor in this parish is that of POTTON MUCH MANURED. This sub-manor was split off from the main manor of Potton on the death of the earl of Huntingdon without male heirs in 1237. The overlordship of this part went to Margaret, the elder sister of the earl of Huntingdon. Her daughter, Devorgilla, married John de Balliol, and through the marriage of her daughter Ada the overlordship passed to the Clavering family, who held it as of the honour of Huntingdon. The descent of the under-lords of this manor can be traced from 'the heirs of Nicholas Quatremars' who in the thirteenth century held half a fee in Potton of this honour. By 1284 it had passed to Fulk of Bath and Joan his wife, who at that date held a rent of £14 16s. in Potton. Their daughter Joan married John d'Eyville, who held the manor in 1306. He transferred the manor to Walter Langton, bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, before 1316, at which date Walter was rendering feudal service for it. From 1316 until 1564 this manor follows the same descent as Everton manor (q.v.). In the latter year Clement Tanfield alienated Potton Much Manured manor to John Burgoyne, and it thus became united with the principal manor of Potton (q.v.), and has since followed the same descent.
