| − | The Manor House was evidently in the hands of Thomas Smythe and his wife Margaret, when in 1562, for 280 pounds they sold it to Francis Cotton. Seven years later, in 1569, Francis Cotton and his wife Alice convey it to Brian Cave much improved.

By 1590 when there is a recovery by John Gobart, the manorlands have been much reduced, in fact it would appear perhaps that they have been divided in two albeit unequal portions. A few years later in 1593/4 John Gobart and his wife Lucy Smyth convey their interest to Erasmus Smyth and his son Roger Smyth for a total of 1600 pounds. In 1597, a pre-nuptial conveyence from Erasmus Smyth to his son Roger Smyth his bride Jane Heron and their issue. | + | The Manor House was evidently in the hands of [[Thomas Smythe]] and his wife Margaret, when in 1562, for 280 pounds they sold it to [[Francis Cotton]].
