The Manor House was evidently in the hands of [[Thomas Smythe]] and his wife Margaret, when in 1562, for 280 pounds they sold it to [[Francis Cotton]]. Seven years later, in 1569, Francis Cotton and his wife Alice convey it to [[Brian Cave]] much improved. Brian Cave and his wife Bridget Skipwith[http://books.google.com/books?vid=0HrP2TKGW9XneD_m&id=oGMBAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA80&lpg=PA80&dq=%22Brian+Cave%22], of Ingarsby, feoff the Manor to [[William Brocas]] in 1573. By 1590 when there is a recovery by [[John Gobart]], the manorlands have been much reduced, in fact it would appear perhaps that they have been divided in two albeit unequal portions.  A few years later in 1593/4 John Gobart and his wife [[Lucy Smyth]] convey their interest to [[Erasmus Smyth]] and his son [[Roger Smyth]] for a total of 1600 pounds. In 1597, a pre-nuptial conveyence from Erasmus Smyth to his son Roger Smyth his bride [[Jane Heron]] and their issue.
