The Close
Rolls, 20 February 1361, 35 Edward III: Feb 20, Westminster. To William de Nessefeld
escheator in Yorkshire. Order to deliver to Joan who was wife of Thomas de
Holand earl of Kent the manors of Cotyngham, Witherton, Buttercrambe, Kirkeby Moresheved (with lands in Farndale, Gillyngmore,
Brauncedale and Fademore),
Cropton (with tenements in Middleton and Haretoft),
Aton and Hemelyngton, with the members, lands etc
thereto pertaining, taklen into the king’s hand by
the death of the earl, together with the issues from the date of his death; as
it is found by inquisition, taken by the escheator, that Thomas at his death
held no lands in that county in chief in his demesne as of fee, but held the
premises of right of his said wife, and that the manors of Cotyngham,
Witherton, Buttercrambe and
Cropton, one messuage and 14 bovates of land in the manor of Aton are held in
chief, and the residue of that manor and the manor of Hemelyngton
of others than the king; and the king has at another time taken the homage of
the earl for the lands of Joan’s heritage by reason of issue between them
begotten.
