Property

Mochettes

"Henry Cheyney, however, inherited its fee simple in right of his wife, who was probably George Muschet's daughter. (fn. 25) The manor was settled in 1377 on Henry's son Sir William Cheyney (d. 1399), whose widow Catherine held the manor in 1419. (fn. 26) It had passed by 1428 to Sir William Cheyney's son Lawrence (d. 1461). (fn. 27) In 1480 Lawrence's son and heir Sir John (d. 1489) granted Mochettes manor to his eldest son Sir Thomas, (fn. 28) who died in 1514. His daughter and heir Elizabeth brought the manor by her marriage to Thomas Vaux (b. 1509), later 2nd Lord Vaux of Harrowden. (fn. 29) Thomas and Elizabeth both died in 1556, and the manor passed to their son and heir William. (fn. 30) On his death in 1595, it descended to his grandson Edward, Lord Vaux, who sold it in 1619 to Thomas Willys (d. 1626). (fn. 31) The manor thereafter formed part of the Fen Ditton estate."^[4]

Manor of Hokes

"B. 241. John Edward', brother and heir of Thomas Gloucester', having demised to Ralph, Lord Sudeley, John, Lord Beauchamp, Richard Neuton, knight, John Fray and others, and to Robert Cooke the manors of Baas, Perers, Geddynges, Langtons, Foxton', Marions and Halles, with their appurtenances in Brokesborne, Hoddesdon, Cheshunt, Amwell, Wurmeley, and elsewhere co. Hertford, and also the manor of Hokes co. Essex, which had descended to him upon the death of his said brother, and the same having been subsequently demised at his request by the said Robert Cooke to William Say, Andrew Oughgard, John Say, Laurence Cheyne, Philip Boteler, John Cheyne, and William Port, he thereupon granted a release of his right to the said manors, &c., to the last named parties. 28 August, 26 Henry VI. [1447]"^[5]

IV. granted it to George Newport, Esq. Son and Heir of William Newport, Esq. and Hugh Clayton, who by their Deed dated the 6th of November, in the same Year, conveyed them to Sir John Say, Sir John Cheiny, and Sir John Heningham, Knights ; William Allington of Botesham, John Ansley, William Allington Son of John Allington, John Battesford, Ralph Baud, Thomas Leventhorp, Henry Langley of Rickling in Essex ; Henry Lollingsworth, in the County of Cambridge, Esq.
