She held two parts of the manor of Wrestlingworth, and 1 messuage and 140 a. there called ‘Shewelond’ in her demesne as of fee.

She also held for life the third part of the same manor by the name of a third part of Hereford’s manor in Wrestlingworth, and 3 messuages and 33 1/2 a. there called ‘Herefordesdower’ by the grant of Robert Wareyne and John Ferthyng, clerk . By their charter dated at Wrestlingworth on 1 Oct. 1402 Robert Wareyne and John Ferthyng granted to John Asplion and Katherine his wife, Richard Clifford, clerk , and Ralph Bateman , and their heirs and assigns, this third part of Hereford’s manor in Wrestlingworth with all the lands belonging to it called ‘Herefordesdower’, which were formerly of William Brittevyle and which Eleanor held for life by their grant, on condition that if after the death of Eleanor the next heir of Oliver de Raghton , deceased, or anyone in his name should pay 40 marks to John Asplion and Katherine in St. Paul’s church, London, then they, John and Katherine, and Richard Clifford and Ralph Bateman would enfeoff the heir of Oliver in the third part to him and the heirs of his body. Failing such heirs it should descend to the right heirs of Eleanor. If John, Katherine and the others refused to enfeoff the heir of Oliver after the delivery of the 40 marks, then Robert Wareyne and John Ferthyng and their heirs might re-enter the third part and hold it to themselves and their heirs, the charter notwithstanding. Eleanor in virtue of this, but not otherwise, attorned to John and Katherine Asplion, Richard Clifford and Ralph Bateman .

The two parts of the manor are held with the third part of the king of the manor of Sutton, parcel of the duchy of Lancaster, by a rent of 8s.; annual value,

two parts 100s.,
the third part 40s.
