Manor of Totteridge

Possibly Laurence de Brok was the tenant who sold the manor to the Bishop of Ely.

Before this a lease of the manor had been granted by the Bishop of Ely to John Brockett, who sold it some time later to Richard Peacock for £1,100.

[1] In 1579–80 Elizabeth granted the court leet and view of frankpledge and the profits of the manor to John Moore for twenty-one years, and in 1590 she granted the manor to John Cage, to hold for one-twentieth of a knight's fee, of the honour of Hampton Court.

Rechard had fourteen children, and, surviving her husband and all her sons, sold Totteridge in that year to Sir Francis Pemberton and Isaac Foxcroft.

This John, who was a scientist and collector of antiquities, assumed the surname of Lee, and was holding the manor in 1821, Upon his death without children in 1866 Totteridge was inherited by his brother the Rev.

About 1580, the office of keeper of the pheasants and partridges was surrendered by Augustine Sparks and was granted to John Pratt, with a fee of 4d, a day and £1 6s.

The rights of the Bishops of Ely in Hatfield probably extended to Totteridge as a member of that manor.
