The manor of EXTONS (Heyston, xiii cent.; Hexston, xiv cent.) was held of the manor of Upper Arley. (fn. 64) It originated in land held by a family named Hexton or Hekstane, probably as early as the 12th century. Hubert de Burgh, who became lord of Arley in 1227, granted to Robert son of Robert de Gloucester all the land in Arley which Robert had held of Thomas de Burgh, and which had formerly been held by Osbert de Hexton. (fn. 65) Robert gave this land to Dametta de Hexton (fn. 66) for life, with remainder to Avelina de Hexton. Dametta seems to have died about 1292, when Avelina successfully sued Henry de Hexton for a messuage and lands. (fn. 67) Roger son of Henry de Hexton received a grant of land in Arley from William de Gerrus in 1295. (fn. 68) It was probably this Roger who in 1312–13 obtained from Henry son of Henry de Hexton, his brother, a recognition of his right to land in Arley. (fn. 69) His widow Idonea was holding the estate in 1327, (fn. 70) but it had passed by 1332–3 to Henry de Hexton, probably son of Roger. (fn. 71) Before 1383 the Hextons had added to their estate at Arley a tenement called Silvestres, formerly belonging to John Gunny, (fn. 72) and at that date John de Hexton granted to his son William the reversion of a tenement which John atte Brok and his wife Maud then held. (fn. 73) William was succeeded by a son John, (fn. 74) who settled his land in 1406. (fn. 75) Isabel his wife appears to have survived him and granted the estate to trustees, who gave it in 1439 to John Hexton and his wife Agnes daughter of John Horewode. (fn. 76) John Hexton was dealing with land at Arley in 1449, (fn. 77) and in 1482 his son Thomas, a merchant and burgess of Bristol, leased 'Hextons Place' to Thomas Holowey of Alveley, co. Salop, and Joan his wife, at a yearly rent of £5. (fn. 78) https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/worcs/vol3/pp5-10
