Text From Source: As was frequently the case with regard to the property of absentee landlords, Keyston seems to have been developed, probably in the 13th century, by conveying away large freeholds. It appears from an action in 1286 that William Wold or William, son of Maurice de Wold Weston (Old Weston), gave to Ralph Waldeschef of Chesterton and Beatrice, his wife, lands in Keyston which Ralph afterwards leased to Roger de Lylleford and Alice, his wife. Beatrice in her widowhood later, as Roger asserted, quitclaimed to him all her right in the vill and fields of Keyston which included the lands given by William de Wold. Beatrice, however, denied that the quitclaim was sealed by her. (fn. 38)

Roffe (Stamford: Paul Watkins, 1994) THE VERDICT OF THOSE OF GREATER STANDING OF THE TOWN OF STAMFORD IN KESTEVEN IN THE THIRD YEAR OF THE REIGN OF KING EDWARD m.1 An inquiry made of twelve jurors of the town of Stamford, to wit of those men of greater standing within the said town, before lords William de St Omer and Warin de Chaucumbe, justices of the lord king therein duly commissioned, the jurors being Isaac Lucas, John son of Walter le Fleming, Alan de Corby, Hugh son of Henry de Tickencote, William Bylkes, Hugh son of Walter de Tickencote, Henry de Thorpe, William le Noreys, Henry Brond, Thomas Pite, Walter Norman and Reginald Dyer, who reply upon their oaths to the following articles herein appended: ... 21. Again who by the power of their office have maliciously harassed anyone [and have thereby extorted lands, rents or any other contributions, and from what time]. They say that Hugh Bunting, bailiff of John earl of Warenne, took half a mark from Thomas Pite because he stood pledge for Ralph Waldechef's appearance in the earl's court on a certain appointed day. Ralph appeared on that day and Hugh the bailiff told him that the court was not sitting that day. Whereupon Ralph returned to his lodgings. Afterwards Hugh maliciously accosted Thomas Pite as Ralph's pledge, saying that Ralph had not attended the court as he ought to have done and on that account unlawfully extorted the aforesaid half a mark from the said Thomas. ... http://www.roffe.co.uk/stamford.htm
