It is held of the king in chief as half a knight’s fee; annual value of the two parts £6 6s.8d.

Robert Archer , sometime rector of Gayhurst , by his charter dated at Stoke Goldington on 19 Nov. 1364 granted the manor of Stoke Goldington to John and Maud Nowers and the heirs of their bodies, the heirs of his body and his right heirs. Maud died without heirs by John. He married Alice and they had issue Amery, Grace, Agnes and Joan. Joan married Robert Nevyll .

At his death Amery held two parts of the manor of Stoke Goldington of the king of the honour of Peverel as a quarter of a knight’s fee, annual value £6.
Owing to the death of John Nowers and the minority of his heir the manors came into the king’s hands and so remain.

Amery died on 20 Dec. 1407 . Grace, Agnes and Joan, wife of Robert Nevyll , are his heirs, aged 19, 16 and 15 years and more.
