In 1395–6 long before his death and before the general pardon granted in the parliament of 1397, he granted the manors of Henham, Roydon, Dunmow and Ashdon to John de Cobbeham, knight , Thomas Remys and other persons now deceased, to hold to them and their heirs and assigns. The tenants attorned to them; and afterwards they regranted them to Joan his wife, her heirs by him and his right heirs as above [no.273].

Also long before he died he granted the manors of Burnham and Woodham Walter, with lands, meadows, pasture and rents in Ulting, parcel of the manor of Woodham Walter, to John Basset , John Tannere, parson of Great Tey , Alexander Warderobe , Hubert parson of Diss , Henry de Teye , John Wiche , Simon Cisterne, parson of Burnham , and Ralph parson of Peldon and their heirs and assigns, by royal licence. They held, the tenants attorned to them, and they regranted them to Joan his wife and her heirs by him [CPR 1405–8 , p.461].

Walter the father of Walter held the manors of Lexden, Creeksea and Caidge in his demesne as of fee and enfeoffed Walter Fitwalter, senior , his uncle, Alexander de Walden, knight , and John Stowe . They held them, the tenants attorned to them, and they regranted them to Simon archbishop of Canterbury , Walter the father, Thomas Percy, knight , Robert de Swynbourne, knight , and others now deceased, and Clement Spice ; and by a fine of 1377 [CP 25(1)/289/52, no.9] they granted them to Walter and the heirs male of his body, with remainder to the right heirs of his father.

Walter the father by his charter enrolled in chancery in 1379 [CCR 1377–81 , p.220] granted to Thomas Percy, knight , Robert Swynbourne , John parson of Great Tey and others now deceased, and Clement Spice the manor and advowson of Great Tey, with 1 messuage, 140 a. arable, 12 a. wood and a meadow called Uphall with rents in Great Tey for the term of their lives. The tenants attorned to them. Long before his death, before he crossed the sea in the company of Blanche, the king’s daughter, by his deed he granted them all his rights there and the advowson. So at his death he did not hold the manors of Lexden, Creeksea, Caidge and Great Tey, nor the advowson nor the reversion after the death of Clement Spice , which now belong to his heir by right of inheritance.

Clement Spice granted his estate in Lexden and Great Tey except the advowson to Henry Dunmowe and Nicholas Clerke, vicar of White Notley , and they afterwards granted their estate to Joan countess of Hereford, Essex and Northampton , William Marny, knight , Clement Spice and others.

Long before his death Walter granted by charter all the tenement called ‘Parkerestenement’ in Woodham Walter to John Tannere for life, and for this Tannere has a charter of pardon from the king [CPR 1405–8 , p.226]. He also granted by deed all his part of the lordship of Maldon with rents, view of frankpledge, profits of court and all other profits to Henry de Teye for life, and this was confirmed by the general pardon of Richard II .

Walter the father of Walter long before his death by his letters patent dated 1375 granted to Richard Drynge , who is still alive, the office of parker of the park of Lexden for life with the keeping of the warren, with fees of 3d. daily, a robe of Walter’s livery or 13s.4d. yearly, pasture for 6 cows, 12 pigs, 12 sheep and 4 heifers with their offspring for one year in the park, and hay for his horse.
