Holdings

Geoffrey Langley, knight , held the manor of Siddington and had two sons, Walter and Geoffrey. Walter inherited the manor and had a son John by his first wife, and another son Robert by another wife. By a fine of 1324–5 [CP 25(1)/76/54, no.325] he acknowledged the right of Robert de Farndon, clerk , to this manor by the name of the manor of North Siddington and to 1 messuage, 2 carucates and 4s. rent in Tarlton and Rodmarton, and Farndon regranted them to John and Ela his wife for their lives with remainder to Geoffrey de Langeley , Mary his wife and the right heirs of Geoffrey. He had a son Geoffrey whose daughter Joan was married to John de Cherlton, knight . After the death of Mary, John and Joan succeeded to the premises. Joan was abducted by John Trillowe during her husband’s life, but was reconciled with him and died pregnant by him and without issue. After her death John Trillowe occupied the manor, claiming to hold by the law of England.

Geoffrey brother of Walter had a son Edmund who married Joan and had issue Geoffrey and Joan. Joan died and Edmund married Elizabeth daughter of Justice William de Bereford and had a son John, father of the present John Langley . Geoffrey and Mary, Geoffrey their son and Joan all died without issue. Therefore the manor should descend to John Langley as heir of Geoffrey son of John, namely son of John, son of Edmund, son of Geoffrey, brother of Walter, father of John, father of Geoffrey son of John. After the death of Joan daughter of Geoffrey this John entered the manor, but for fear of death did not dare continue the estate which he claimed. Afterwards John Worthe entered the manor and claimed it as heir of Geoffrey son of John on behalf of his mother Beatrice, and in it he enfeoffed William Beauchamp , John Lovell , John Devereux and Lewis Clifford , knights, Henry Norton, esquire , Hugh Leversegge and Stephen le Leene , clerks. The tenants attorned to them. John Worthe died without issue and the feoffees granted the manor to Blanche, as the widow of John de Worthe, knight , for life with remainder to John Langeley . Blanche in her widowhood and all the tenants attorned to John Langeley . Before 1396–7 she released her rights in the manor to John. He entered it and she had no further estate in it.

The manor of Siddington is held of the king of the fee of Lacy by the service of half a knight’s fee, annual value £14 40d.

She died on 21 July last . Her next heir is unknown.
