On 8 Feb. 1395 Lewis de Clyfford , Richard Stury and Thomas Latymer , knights, Richard Dudley , John Warwyk and William Lane, chaplain , by their deed shown to the jurors, granted the manor and advowson of Paulerspury, which John Paveley, knight , had granted to them, to Joan his widow to hold to herself for her life and to her executors for 1 year more, without impeachment of waste and with remainder to themselves. This reversion they granted to Isabel, then wife of John Paveley junior, knight , and now the wife of John Seynt Johan , to hold to her and her heirs and assigns. Joan attorned to Isabel.

Afterwards on 12 July 1403 Joan by her deed, also shown to the jurors, granted all her estate in the manor except an interior court in the house called the gatehouse with the house, and excepting the advowson and the herbage, fishery and hunting in the new park and a meadow called ‘le Newmedwe’ and a garden next the graveyard of the manor with free ingress and egress to and from all these, to John Seynt Johan , Isabel his wife, Oliver their son, Thomas Wodevile , John Wylkotes , William Poulet and John Bovere for the life of Joan on certain conditions contained in the deed, provided always that immediately after the death of Joan John Seynt Johan and Isabel and their heirs and assigns could enter the manor as of ancient right without any payments or claims whatsoever from Joan on account of her occupation of the manor, excepting always that her executors should have free ingress and egress and reasonable time for administration without impediment by John Seynt Johan and Isabel or anyone acting in their name.
