The descent of the messuage held by the family of de Bereford can be traced from the late 13th century till 1428. When first mentioned Henry de Bereford held it as half a fee and one-fifteenth part of a fee. By 1275–6 it was the property of Humphrey de Bereford, and at the latter's death, within the next twenty years, it descended to his son Henry, who held it in 1302–3 as half a knight's fee. Another Humphrey held it in 1316 and another Henry thirty years later. The property was subsequently alienated to John Newman, who was proved to hold it in 1428.
