The moiety of James Newmarch's fee in Upton assigned to his younger daughter Hawise de Moels was called the manor of UPTON MOELS. Her descendants held it till the latter part of the 15th century. John de Moels died about 1337, leaving two daughters and heirs, and Upton Moels was assigned in 1347 to Isabel, the younger daughter, and her husband William Botreaux. Her son William Lord Botreaux granted it to John Hone for his life. Hone died seised in 1407–8, when the reversion of the manor belonged to Lord Botreaux, the grandson of the grantor. It passed on his death in 1462 to his daughter Margaret widow of Robert second Lord Hungerford. Four years later, however, she, together with her grandson Thomas Hungerford and his wife, sold it to William Kerver, John Asshe and others to be held by Asshe and his heirs. At some date previous to 1484 Kerver and Asshe granted it to Anne the wife of Geoffrey Kidwelly, and from this time the descent followed that of Nottingham's Fee (q.v.). There are no separate manorial rights, and the estate has lost its identity. There are, however, 112 acres of land at the extreme east of Upton parish which belong to Nottingham's Fee, and possibly they may be the land formerly known as the manor of Upton Moels.
