RICHARD, SON OF ROGER, b abt. 1140 MD Margaret Son Sir Herlwin, Knight of Polebrook A History of the County of Huntington shows a Herlwin de Grendon owning land in Polesworth of Thurring in early twelth century with sons Ralph to John to Ralph and two sisters one perhaps marrying William Caryll.

And Robert Grendon, (1 October 1207 – 16 November 1272), ( 11 Henry III Polebrook: The holders of this fee under the Marmions were the Grendons. Herlwin de Grendon held ½ knight's fee of the Marmion Fee in Polebrook in the middle of the 13th century. (fn. 48) He was succeeded by Ralph de Grendon, who paid scutage for ½ fee in 1253, (fn. 49) and was living in 1262 to 1272. (fn. 50) His son John was living 1270 to 1315. (fn. 51) Ralph son of John de Grendon did homage to the abbot of Peterborough in 1318, (fn. 52) and was apparently succeeded by two sisters. (fn. 53) From these sisters it passed to William de Carlton, (fn. 54) possibly a husband or son of one of them, who was holding in 1346. (fn. 55) William Carlyll was described as of Polebrook in 1361 (fn. 56) and 1367, (fn. 57) and he and his wife Margaret were dealing with land there in 1397. (fn. 58) Possibly it was his son, William Carlyll, who did homage to the abbot for lands in Polebrook in 1401, (fn. 59) and was in possession of lands there, held by knight service, in 1428. (fn. 60) William Carlyll of Polebrook son of William Carlyll conveyed lands in Polebrook to William son of William Armston. (fn. 61) The descent of this holding after this date is uncertain, it seems to have been acquired by the overlords the abbots of Peterborough, and came to the Crown at the Dissolution of that monastery in 1539. It was granted together with the holdings of Robert le Fleming, Thomas Smert, the Porthors and the Grendons as the manor of Polebrook late of Peterborough monastery in 1542 to the Dean and Chapter of Peterborough, (fn. 62) but was afterwards resumed and leased to Sir Edward Montagu. (fn. 63) Another grant was made in 1548 to Sir William Sharington, (fn. 64) who within a few days obtained licence to alienate the property to Sir Edward Montagu. (fn. 65) From that time until 1910 Polebrook manor has followed the descent of Barnwell St. Andrew (q.v.), but was not sold with that manor in 1913 and still belongs to the Duke of Buccleuch.

Bartholomew de Gresebroke, a younger son, left the paternal estates in Yorkshire and settled at Shenston, County Staffordshire. He acquired from Robert de Grendon about 1204 and before 1214 the old manor house of the De Brays, afterwards called Gresbrok Hall, and an estate in Shenston. A new manor house had been built about 1190-5. Shenston had been held by the De Brays since before 1127, and Bartholomew was infeuded subject to the same service to the chief lords, which explains the unusual tenure which was disclosed in January 1297 when the heriot was declared by which Gresebrok Hall and the estates were held; viz. "a horse with saddle and bridle, aketon and lorica, and other arms appurtenant" on the death of each tenant. At this point in history, the aketon, (also acton, auqueton, hacketon, etc.) appears to have been a heavily padded garment worn under the lorica, which was leather or iron breastplate.
