She held the manor of Hart with Hartlepool of the king in chief by homage and fealty, jointly enfeoffed with Roger her late husband, to them and the heirs of Roger. The manor comprises 204 a. arable in demesne, 24 a. foreshore and 33 a. meadow in demesne with orchards, which are all let this year to various tenants at will paying together £10 at Whitsun and Martinmas; and several pasture let this year for 13s.4d. payable at the same terms.
The annual value of the vill of Hartlepool is £10. She also held the port there which includes the waters of Tees to the south of the town and northwards along the coast to Blackhall. It is customary to take from ships mooring within these bounds, with boats laden or unladen 8d., and without boats 4d. She took 6s. weekly from the market at Hartlepool on Tuesdays and Fridays, and from each shop in the market place for stallage 1/4d., and for each packhorse stand 1/2d. She had a fair twice yearly at St. Lawrence and the Invention of the Holy Cross, taking from each shop and from each packhorse stand 1/2d. which usually amounted to £10 yearly for 12 years past; but now it is worth nothing because destroyed by
Ralph
Lumley
and his tenants and servants,
Robert
Browne
,
William

Stable
,
John
Denton
,
William
Ward
and others, during her lifetime, and by

, under age in the king’s ward, holds free of the same manor the vill of Stranton by homage, fealty, and 1 pair of gilt spurs or 12d., 1 lb. pepper and 1d. at Martinmas;
Ralph
Baron Greystoke, knight
, holds similarly the vill of Brierton by homage, fealty and 15d. rent at Martinmas;
William
Fulthorp, knight
, holds 4 husbandlands in Morleston by homage, fealty and 12d. rent, and 3 husbandlands in Throston by homage, fealty and 1d. at Martinmas;
Gerard
Heron
holds 1 carucate in North Hart by homage, fealty and no other service;
Richard
de
