WALDSHEF'S MANOR

 

WALDSHEF'S MANOR took its name from a family who appear in 1279 as tenants both in Grimbaud's and Littlebury's manors. (fn. 64) Robert Waldshef, however, married Joan, apparently the widow of one of the Littleburys, and they also held as her dower a third part of John de Littlebury's half fee. (fn. 65) In 1289, Roger de Littlebury granted this land to them to hold in fee as the sixth part of a knight's fee, and it was presumably by this grant that they obtained whatever manorial rights were attached to their land. (fn. 66) The word manor, however, is not used till 1574. (fn. 67) John Waldshef succeeded before 1300 (fn. 68) and was living in 1332. (fn. 69) He is said to have died in 1334 and was succeeded by his son Robert, (fn. 70) who was in seisin in 1340. (fn. 71) Robert's son John (fn. 72) succeeded him, probably about 1353, and died in 1378, when his heir was his son Robert, who died in 1421. (fn. 73) In 1497, a John Waldshef and his wife Joan sold their holding at Diddington to William Taylard, (fn. 74) Thomas Burton and others and the heirs of Burton, but possession of the manor was evidently obtained by Taylard, since with Grimbald's and Littlebury manors (q.v.) it was inherited by his descendants. (fn. 75)

John de Littlebury held view of frankpledge in 1279. (fn. 76) This privilege was not, however, claimed by the Grimbalds in their manor, although the tenants of the Honour of Huntingdon usually held the view in their manors. (fn. 77) It is noted, however, that William Grimbald owed suit of court every month to the court of John Hastings at Barton, (fn. 78) and in 1285 the Prior of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem claimed to hold view of frankpledge for various tenants in Toseland Hundred, one of whom was a tenant at Diddington. (fn. 79) In 1616 Sir Thomas Brudenell, afterwards Lord Brudenell, obtained a grant of free warren in the manor of Diddington. (fn. 80)

Whereas the king, pitying the estate of Robert de Waldeshef, clerk, who is smitten with leprosy and deprived of sight by that infirmity, sent him to the warden and brethren of the lepers' hospital of St. Margaret, Huntingdon, requesting them to admit him to dwell amongst them until his death as a brother of the hospital, and to administer to him necessaries in food and clothing and other things as a brother of the hospital, and they have written back to the king that the portion of each brother of the hospital is so slender that it is barely sufficient for their own maintenance, and that Robert is married, and that his wife suffers from the same infirmity; the king, wishing to provide Robert with his maintenance, orders the prior to go to the hospital in person, and to survey its state, and if he find that Robert can be maintained out of its goods in addition to the maintenance of the warden and brethren without oppression of the hospital, he is to cause the warden and brethren to administer to Robert his necessaries in food, clothing, and other things as one of the brethren for life, and if the means of the hospital are insufficient for this purpose, he is to certify the king by his letters without delay.
