Records of property owned by the crown in Barton are found from the thirteenth century, and from this grants of small pieces of land were made which were bestowed, as a reward for services, upon various officials and servants for definite periods. In 1264 Thomas Fauconer received a grant from the king of 1 toft containing 3 acres and of 1 acre for the term of his life. John Broun, an under clerk of the kitchen of King Henry VI, and Bartholomew Willesdon held land in Barton from the king at a yearly rent of 7s. 6d., which in 1461 was bestowed upon William Pole, yeoman of the chamber, and after his death in 1476 upon Thomas Master, to hold for his life. In 1531 these lands were granted to Robert Pole, one of the appositores ciborum of the king's chamber, and having reverted to the crown before 1536, by reason of Robert Pole's death, they were granted out again in that year to John Hyde, engrosser of the Great Roll of the Exchequer, to hold for forty years. In 1628 Edward Ditchfield and others were granted a fee-farm rent issuing out of Barton manor, of the value of £68 7s. 9½d., forming part of the revenues of Ramsey Abbey. This rent, by some unknown means, had become in 1745 the property of Sarah Burroughs, spinster, who married Sir Thomas Salusbury of Offley, and dying in 1804 left the feefarm rent to her husband's cousin, the Rev. Lynch Burroughs or Lynch Salusbury, who sold it in 1808 to the lord of the manor, Edward Willes, for £1,350.
