Augustine Burton died in 1614 seised of the Hall and other tenements, formerly in the possession of Thomas Swaffield. (fn. 70) By his will, dated 8 March 1614, he left it to his nephew, Sir Thomas Burton, son of his eldest brother John. (fn. 71) Andrew Burton seems to have had the estate in 1689 (fn. 72) and William Burton in 1694. (fn. 73)

¶The Priory of St. Mary of Brooke held lands in Braunston, which were known as the manor of BRAUNSTON or BROOKE manor. In the nth century, the canons held a bovate of land at a yearly rent of 12d. of Reginald son of Robert de Braunston, lord of Braunston. (fn. 74) Reginald, who, as already stated, was living in 1202, (fn. 75) granted this rent to the sacrist of the priory on condition that the canons maintained certain lamps and candles at specified services. (fn. 76) They probably received other grants of land in Braunston, and in 1316 the Prior of Kenilworth, to which house Brooke was subordinate, appears as one of the lords of Braunston. (fn. 77) After the dissolution of the Priory of Brooke in 1534, (fn. 78) their property in Braunston was granted in 1536 to Anthony Cope to hold in chief of the king. (fn. 79) He sold it in 1544, under the name of the manor of Braunston, to John Burton. (fn. 80) The same property was given by Burton in 1545 to his son and heir William Burton, at the time of the latter's marriage to Alice, daughter of Richard Peck. (fn. 81) Although at the time of John's death in 1553 it was only described as a messuage, with lands and tenements, (fn. 82) it seems clear that it was identical with the manor, which William and Alice settled in 1575. (fn. 83) In 1581 William Burton and his eldest son John and his wife Anne gave the manor to Bartin, William's second son. (fn. 84) Bartin obtained a new crown grant of the manor in 1610, to be held with the rights and liberties which the Priory of Brooke or Abbey of Kenilworth had held. (fn. 85) He died seised of the manor in 1612 and left the manor to his brother Augustine for two and a half years until his son and heir Andrew was of age. (fn. 86) Andrew settled the manor in 1623 on his marriage with Anne, daughter of William Fairmedow and grandchild of Cornelius Fische of London. (fn. 87) In 1633 Andrew and his wife Anne alienated it to Richard Warde and his wife Bridget, Dabridgecourt Warde and Kenelm Fawkener, (fn. 88) who sold it in 1636 to Edward, Viscount Campden.
