MANORS
An estate of 1 hide and 1 virgate in Little Colne, part of Stansted in Halstead, was held by Godwin in 1066 and by Walter of Caen of Robert Malet in 1086. The Malet over- lordship and the connexion with Halstead ceased on Robert's forfeiture c. 1100, although Richard earl of Cornwall (d. 1272) claimed, unsuccess- fully, that the manor was part of the Malet barony of Eye. (fn. 22) Walter of Caen was succeeded by his son Robert and by Robert's son William de Cheney. On William's death in 1174 over- lordship of his lands was given to his eldest daughter Margery (d. 1231), who married first Hugh de Cressy and then Robert son of Roger of Clavering. (fn. 23) In 1248 the Colne estate was held of her grandson Hugh de Cressy, but in 1302 it was held of Robert son of Roger of Clavering (d. 1310), and in 1323 of his son John of Clavering. (fn. 24) In 1367 it was said, probably in error, to be held of Thomas la Zouche, and in 1401 of William la Zouche, the last recorded overlord.
