Yockleton, Shelve and Wentnor, the manors, with one quarter of the forest of Caus, of the king in chief by knight service, annual value £30 and no more because they lie in the borders of the county which are raided by Welsh rebels, devastated and partly burnt from day to day. Joan wife of John Barras, esquire , once the wife of Robert de Harley , held a rent of £60 for life with Robert her husband taken in equal parts from these three manors and the quarter of the forest by a fine of 1334 [8 Edward III , recte 38 Edward III , 1364: CP 25(1) 195/16, no. 43] between Fulk son of Robert Corbet of Moreton Corbet and Robert and Joan Harley. After the death of Robert her husband, Joan Harley disclaimed £20 of this rent on condition of receiving £40 yearly for life from Fulk son of Robert Corbet , then the tenant of these manors. After the death of Fulk, owing to the insufficiency of the revenues she freely released £10 to John Mouche , then tenant of the manors, and so received £30 yearly for life. Joan and John Barras, now her husband, held this until the death of John Mouche .

Wattlesborough, the manor, of the earl of Stafford , a minor in the king’s ward, of the castle of Caus by knight service, annual value £10 at present and no more because it lies on the bounds of the March and the tenants have withdrawn from fear of the malice and damage of the Welsh rebels.
