Dault Manor

In the write up of Broughton Manor in Professor Chibnells book “Beyond Sherington” he tells us

“Another subtenant William Dault conveyed to Robert de Braybrook around 1200 his Manor House, Mill & Mill Pond which was to the east of Chicheley Brook just south of North Crawley. Tenants had to grind their corn there.

Baldwin Filliol at his Manor Farm who had to cross a ford gave permission to both Dault & Braybrook to raise the level of his Mill & Fish Pond to enable the Mill to operate and grind corn.

Daults Manor House and holding tallies with that of Franklins Farm, named after Richard Franklin who was in possession in 1557. This is the present sight of Crawley Grange. See the separate page of “The Grange Estate”
