The manor was formerly held by John de Wauton, father of the said Robert, of the king in chief by homage and service of keeping a hawk (austurcum) of the king’s and rendering 6s. 8d. yearly by the hands of the sheriff. The said John died about twenty-two years ago and after his death Gilbert de Wauton, his son and heir, brother of Robert, entered the manor, as of age, on 25 June, 16 Edward III, by process of court. From that day he held two parts of the manor for life, and from the same day the third part was taken into the king’s hand by William de Felton, escheator, because Joan, late the wife of the said John, sued her dower out of the king’s hand, and this third part is for this reason still in the king’s hand. Gilbert died on 20 September, 22 Edward III, and after his death the two parts were in the hand of William Darays and John Darays for a term of years by the grant of the said Gilbert during his lifetime, and they were in possession for four years after his death. After these four years Joan, late the wife of John de Wauton, had possession of the two parts, by what title the jury know not, and received the issues until 10 October, 31 Edward III, on which day William de Nessefeld, escheator, took the two parts into the king’s hand because the heir of the said Gilbert had not sued his right.

Joan de Wauton, daughter of John and sister of Gilbert and Robert, whom Thomas de Bredon, now deceased, married, aged 24 years and more, is their heir.

	Chilterne Fag and Chilterne Dummere. The manor held in fee tail, as below, of the heir of John de Sancto Claro, knight, as of the manor of Cheselburgh, by knight’s service. John de Sancto Claro, knight, held the manor of Cheselburgh of the king in chief by knight’s service, which manor on his death, by reason of the minority of John his son and heir, came into the hand of the king, who granted the custody of the manor and wardship of the heir, with knights’ fees and advowsons thereto belonging, to Philippa his consort. John Fag and Katherine his wife held the manor of Chilterne Fag and Chilterne Dummere jointly in fee tail to them and the heirs of their body (sic) by grant of Sir John de Norton, chaplain, and Peter le Rous of Preston by charter dated 16 Edward II, and the said John and Katherine died during the minority of John, son and heir of John de Sancto Claro, and the manor was therefore on account of the minority of Marmaduke Fag, son and heir of John and Katherine Vag, taken into the king’s hand and delivered to the aforesaid Philippa. She granted the custody of the manor and the wardship and marriage of Marmaduke to Mabel fitz Waryn, who married him to Alice, her kinswoman, and gave the said Marmaduke and Alice a quitclaim of all her right in the manor. Marmaduke, while still a minor, granted the manor to Sir Benet Grey, chaplain, and John Botour in 29 Edward III, and they re-granted it to Marmaduke and Alice for their lives, with remainder to John son of Marmaduke and his heirs. This John died before Marmaduke, and after his death the latter granted the manor to Sir William Wodeford and Sir Benet Gray, chaplains, and Robert de la Forde, and afterwards died in parts beyond the sea in the king’s service on the feast of the Invention of the Holy Cross last. After his death the said Sir William and others granted the manor to Alice for her life, with remainder to Thomas son of Marmaduke. Marmaduke did not have seisin by process of law before his death, because he never proved his age. The knights’ fees and advowsons belonging to the manor of Cheselburgh are still in the king’s hand because John, son of John de Sancto Claro, has not sued his right thereto. Thomas, son of the aforesaid Marmaduke and Alice, aged 2 years and more, is heir of the blood of the said Marmaduke.
