Property

Manor of Hooks and Pinnacles

"In 1449 William Say, clerk, John Say and Lawrence Cheyne his [father]-in-law were listed as tenants of a group of manors including Hooks. Sir John Say died in 1478 holding Hooks and Pinnacles of the Abbot of Waltham. He was succeeded by his son Sir William. In 1515 Robert Turbervyl, at the request of Sir William Say, granted this manor to Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk, steward of Waltham Forest during the minority of John de Vere, Earl of Oxford. Dorothy, daughter and heir of Sir William Say, brought this manor to her husband William, Lord Mountjoy. Their only daughter Gertrude married Henry Courtenay, Marquess of Exeter, in 1519, and the manor subsequently came into Exeter's possession. In 1539 he was attainted and this manor was forfeit to the Crown."^[3]
