Previous Lords:
A second manor in Wrestlingworth is that known also as HEREFORD'S MANOR, whose lords held it partly of the manor of Cockayne Hatley and partly of the manor of Sutton. The first mention that occurs of the Cockayne Hatley overlordship, the earlier of the two, is in 1310 when Alexander de Crokedayke held a messuage, land and rent in Wrestlingworth of the lord of Hatley. After 1341 when the Latimer overlordship appears, the portion of land held of Cockayne Hatley began to be differentiated by the name Shellelond, and in 1499 when the last mention occurs it is called Shelley manor. The first trace of the Latimer overlordship is to be found in 1328 when Maud de Botetourt (of whose previous holding in Wrestlingworth nothing has been found recorded), gave to William le Latimer and Elizabeth his wife part of a knight's fee in this parish. The lords of Wrestlingworth are subsequently found holdmanent grant of Wrestlingworth manor was made to ing as of William le Latimer's manor of Sutton, the last mention occurring in 1499 when Hereford's manor was held as of the duchy of Lancaster, into which Sutton manor (q.v.) had fallen.
