Richard Fiton, kt., the grantee was living in
1283, but died before 1288, having probably survived
his only son William, whose widow Margaret then
held the third part of the manor in dower. She
afterwards married Alexander Hurel. In or before
1288 a partition of the manor was made between
the three daughters and co-heirs of Richard Fiton
and their respective husbands, namely, William de
Hesketh and Matilda, Edmund de Leye and Amabel,
Roger Nowell and Elizabeth.’
—
In 1289 Hesketh became possessed of two-thirds
of the manor, having acquired from Edmund de Leye
and Amabel their portion of the Fiton inheritance.”
In 1310 for £23 he purchased from John son of Ed-
mund Fiton the lordship of the manor, including his
own service of 20s. per annum and other ros. due
yearly from Adam son of Roger Nowell.’
