Cossall, the manor, held of the king in chief of the honour of Peverel as 1/20 knight’s fee.

He died on 13 November 1431. Hugh Skevyngton is his brother and next heir, and aged 21 years and more.

Richard Byngham, lately escheator , to whom the king granted custody of the manor by letters patent dated on 23 May 1433 [CFR 1430–37, p. 149], occupied the manor from 13 November and took the issues by virtue of his office as well as by the letters patent: he is thus answerable to the king. The letters patent were shown to the jurors.
