He held the following in demesne as of fee of ‪ Henry V as of the manor of Almeley in socage. The manor of Almeley is in the king’s hands because of the forfeiture of John Oldecastell, knight .
Almeley Wooton, a messuage with ruinous buildings, 80 a. arable, 4 a. meadow, and 4 a. pasture, annual value 8s.
These lands and tenements did not come to the hands of ‪ Henry V because of the minority of Thomas, nor are they still in the king’s hands for this reason. Rather, Thomas was an idiot from birth for which reason and by an inquisition taken ex officio by John Russell, escheator , they were seized into the king’s hands and are still there.

He died on 7 July 1425. Margaret wife of Walter Graunt and Agnes wife of John Snowe are his sisters and next heirs. They are aged, respectively, 40 and more, and 30 and more.
