Boxworth (Manors) 2
In 1279 Nicholas de Segrave, then lord of Fen Stanton, was lord over 6 yardlands at Boxworth. Probably by Nicholas's gift, Sir Simon of Stanton was lord over another 40 acres. A hide at Boxworth held by two other sokemen, in 1066 under Eddeva, in 1086 of Count Alan, lord of Richmond, depended later on the Richmond manor at Swavesey. Independent freeholders occupied c. 60 acres of that fee in the 1220s and 1279. The reversion of a larger holding, styled a carucate or 3/4; hide, was secured, following an assize of mort d'ancestor against William of Knapwell in 1234, by John of Shelford, who entailed half of it on John FitzJohn in 1247. When Shelford's son William was hanged in 1255 for parricide, Alan la Zouche, lord of Swavesey, claimed the forfeited land in 1257 as part of his lordship. Through marriage to Margery la Zouche it probably passed to Robert FitzRoger, lord of Warkworth (Northumb.), who by 1279 had granted it in tail to Sir Amaury de Lucy (d. s.p. 1284), and in 1285 regranted it to a retainer. Robert's son John of Clavering alienated the reversion of most of his inheritance shortly after his father's death in 1310.
