Previous Lords:
A Ralph Pirot later than the one mentioned above owned Pirot's Manor in 1284–6, when it formed the corresponding quarter-fee to that held by Thomas of Kancia in Northill (see Carminos), but by 1300 it had passed into the possession of Giles de Trumpington (hence one of the later names of the manor), who also acquired the half-fee in Beeston which at some time during the previous century had been owned by Thomas son of Bernard. From this time the manor followed the same descent as that of Moggerhanger (q.v.), passing from the Trumpingtons to the Enderbys and Lucys until the death of Lady Eleanor Lucy in 1510. It then reverted to Eleanor Enderby (Lady Lucy's daughter by her former husband), who afterwards married Francis Pigot, on whom it was settled in 1539. Their son Thomas Pigot conveyed the manor of Beeston-Caldecote to Henry Everard in 1555, in the possession of whose family it appears to have remained during the 17th century, but by 1741 it had passed to the same owners as the manor of Beeston, Thorncote and Hatch, and follows the same descent (see above).
