The other 1/2 township of Kenton, formerly held by Ralph de Neweham who granted it to his niece Iseult, were held of Henry at the time of the release for 1/20 knight's fee, suit of court at Newham three times a year and by service of 5s. at Whitsun and Martinmas. That 1/2 is also now held of the king as an escheat by reason of Henry's forfeiture. Annual value of the manor, lordship and township 42s. and no more because the land is barren and unproductive.
