Adrian,

I'd suggest that it is highly likely as Nuneaton is common to both
Edward Belknap and the remainder heir 'John Brown'.


A History of the County of Warwick: Volume 4: Hemlingford Hundred
(1947), pp. 165-73.
The borough of Nuneaton.
The manor of STOCKINGFORD may be identified with the messuages, mill,
and land there granted in 1280 by Hugh de Lilleburne to his son Hugh.
(fn. 75) In 1336 Roger Jabet granted the manor to William Jabet and
Maud, with reversion to their son William and his wife Ellen. (fn. 76)
The latter in 1365 bought the reversion of lands here from John Wale and
Edith his wife after the death of Elia widow of Nicholas de Lilleburne,
whose heir Edith was. (fn. 77) Hugh Jabet, mentioned as of Stockingford
in 1373, (fn. 78) may be identical with Hugh Lilleburne, called son and
heir of William Jabet, (fn. 79) who was lord of Stockingford between
1400 and 1413. (fn. 80) At the latter date the manor was held of him for
the life of Hugh by John son of Thomas Boteler of Exhall, and the
reversion was granted by Hugh Lilleburne to trustees who conveyed it to
the Priory of Arbury. (fn. 81) This was probably in connexion with the
foundation of a chantry in Arbury Priory Church in 1417 by Hugh
Lilleburne for his own soul and those of his parents, William and Ellen.
(fn. 82) In 1424 this John Boteler, and a certain Roger Levyng, made
over their respective rights in the manor to the priory, (fn. 83) and in
1469 Henry son and heir of John Boteler released his claims. (fn. 84) In
1535 Arbury Priory possessed lands and tenements in Stockingford valued
at £13 16s. 1d., and rents worth £1 3s. 4d., together with lands worth
£5 6s. 8d. in Nuneaton; (fn. 85) while the Priory of Nuneaton held lands
here valued at £9 1s. 6d. (fn. 86) After the Dissolution the Arbury
lands were granted to Sir Edward Wootton, John Danett, and Anthony
Cooke. (fn. 87) In 1544 Mary Danett, widow (of Gerard Danett), mortgaged
her purparty to George Medley, (fn. 88) to the use of Sir Edward
Wootton, who was her nephew. (fn. 89) One-third was granted by Thomas
Wootton son of Sir Edward, to Richard Cooke in 1577, (fn. 90) and in
1584 (fn. 91) his son Anthony Cooke granted the whole manor to Edmund
Parker. (fn. 92) The former possessions of Nuneaton Priory meanwhile
followed the descent of Nuneaton Manor (q.v.) and came into the hands of
Sir Henry Willoughby, who had also acquired the Parkers' manorial rights
by 1631. (fn. 93) He seems to have bestowed the manor on his daughter
Anne, (fn. 94) and she and her husband Sir Thomas Aston held it in 1639,
(fn. 95) since which time Stockingford has been united to Nuneaton.

87 L. and P. Hen. VIII, xiii (2), 1182 (18 n.). The fee farm rents
from them were assigned to Charles, Duke of Suffolk: ibid. These three
persons were coheirs of Sir Edward Belknap.

Happy Easter
