A small property, known as SEXTON'S MANOR, appears in this parish in the 16th century. It appears to have been originally part of Wilden Manor, and to have been leased by Sir Thomas Lucy in 1566 to William Wagstaffe for the term of 1,000 years. George Wagstaffe, who held this property at his death in 1601, was son of William Wagstaffe. The family continued to hold this property down to the 19th century. Lysons mentions their manor, and their name, as owning land in the parish, occurs in the Inclosure Act of 1811.
