Connection between Stanton, Brompton, Boxworth & Freville fa

From the Calendar of Patent Rolls, 1349, Membrane 28:

October 12, Westminster:

Licence, for 50s which AGATHA late the wife of JOHN DE STANTON of Dry
Drayton will pay to the king, for the alientation in mortmain by her of
a message and 50 acres of land in Dry Drayton to a chaplain to
celebrate divine service daily in Dry Drayton church, as she shall
ordain, for her good estate and the good estate of GEORGE DE BROMPTON
and MARGARET his wife, HENRY DE BOKESWORTH [BOXWORTH] and MAUD his
wife, and JOHN DE FREVILL and ELLEN his wife, for their souls when they
are dead, and for the souls of the said John, sometime her husband, and
his ancestors. And the 50s have been paid in the hanaper. Cambridge.

Any ideas who these were? John Freville and Ellen nee Lucy are known
- they owned Little Shelford & Caxton. Where Agatha, Margaret, Maud
and Ellen sisters?

VCH Cambridgeshire sub Boxworth shows that the manor of Overhall at
Boxworth was held by Henry de Boxworth (d after 1365) and his wife Maud
(ff 1382); he had inherited from his father, William de Boxworth (ff
1327) and left it to his son William (dsp) and daughter Alice, wife of
William Lovett of Buckinghamshire. The de Boxworths had held it since
at least 1200, and the Lovetts held until 1479. This manor was held
under the Frevilles of Little Shelford, heirs of the de Scalers family;
after the Lovetts sold it, it was acquired by the Huttons of Dry
Drayton: Thomas Hutton married Anne Freville.

VCH Cambridgeshire sub Dry Drayton refers to Chambres manor at Dry
Drayton, part of which was owned by Henry son of Simon de Chambres in
1349 [indeed, VCH says it was from this part that Agnes de Stanton gave
her 50 acres to the church, the manor apparently having been divided in
about 1312). By 1339 the remainder of the manor was held by George de
Brompton who died in 1361 leaving his sister Alice as his heir.

VCH as above also notes that the tenancy-in-chief of Dry Drayton
belonged to the Frevilles but "sbout 1350 it was probably held of the
Frevilles by... Henry of Boxworth as mesne lord under them"

So, George de Brompton, Henry de Bokesworth and John Freville were all
feudal superiors at Dry Drayton in c1349 - perhaps it is this that
explains their linkage in Agnes de Stanton's chantry bequest, rather
than any family ties?
