Research Notes
According to authors Sheaham and Ratcliff, the manor of Clifton, which became the manor of Wake, first were in the possession of Halenod de Bidun, which passed into the possession of son John de Bidun who died about 1186. John died without heirs, so his possessions were divided between his five sisters. The Inquisition dated about 1255 of John Bidun show his sisters as: Amicia, Amabilia, Sarah, Ermingard and Maud.[1] Authors Sheaham and Ratcliff, show Isabel instead of Sarah, and that Isabel married Baldwin Wake, who was in possession of the Clifton lands. Then line of descent went: Hugh Wake, Barony of Lydell in Cumberland died 1242 = Baldwin Wake born abt 1238, died 1281. = John Wake died 1300 = two sons: John and Thomas, John died young, so Thomas became heir, died in 1349, died without heir. So Manor of Clifton was inherited by Hugh Wake, the grandson of Hugh Wake of Blisworth in Northamptonshire, who was the younger son of the last Baldwin. Hugh Wake, six years after receiving the Wake/Clifton Manor signed it over in 1355, by Deed, bearing date at Clifton, Wed., Feast of St. Mary Magdalene, 29 Edward III, to Robert Mordaunt of Turvey and Joan his wife. The reason was that Robert was the son of Rose Wake Mordaunt the sister of Hugh Wake. [2][3]
