He held in his demesne as of fee of Henry IV of his Crown by knight service 2 messuages, 2 bovates and 2 a. meadow in [Willin]gton for 1/20 knight's fee. Annual values: the messuages 10s. at 5s. each; the bovates 10s. at 5s. each; the meadow 6d.
He died on 12 Sept. 1409, when the land descended to his son Thomas, then aged 7 years or more. Thomas died on 14 Feb. last, when the land descended to his sister and heir Margaret Staunton , aged 16 years on 17 Nov. last.
Robert Fraunceyse, knight , occupied the lands and took the profits from John's death until 4 Nov. 1413, pretending that John had held them by knight service of his manor of Foremark and that their keeping fell to him because of Thomas's minority. By virtue of letters patent [5 Nov. 1413: CFR 1413-22, p. 40] Robert Fraunceyse and Thomas Charleton occupied the lands and took the profits from 4 Nov. 1413 until 30 Nov. 1420, when Robert died. Since then Thomas and Robert's wife Isabel, with Thomas's consent, have occupied the lands and taken the profits. [Cf. the inquisition on John in CIPM XX, no. 137, where Willington is identified.]
