Boston's title was extended by the Crown to a life interest 5 May 1398, shortly after the forfeiture of the earl's estates.^' These were restored in October 1400 to Thomas son of the late earl/* and he gave Berwick to his messenger (nunc'ms) John RygoU for life/' The latter was still living in July 1416.^ The earl had died 13 October 1415, leaving as heirs three sisters. About the year 1439 Berwick was in the possession of Sir John Fray, chief baron of the Exchequer, who acquired a considerable estate in the county by purchase and probably bought this manor also.''' It was afterwards held by Anne wife of Richard Southwell, who in 1475 joined with her husband in a conveyance to Henry and Robert Colet and others and to the hcin of Henry,"- who was afterwards Lord Mayor of London. Sir Henry's son and heir John Colet, the famous Dean of St. Paul's,'^ gave the manor in trust to the Mercers' Company for his chantry of Our Lady Patroness of Boys near his school in St. Paul's Churchyard.''^' The manor was evidently acquired by William Gery of Barkway and Bushmead after the suppression of Colet's chantry. Gery conveyed it in 1552 to William Plattfote of Beccic?,*'' who evidently alienated to William Hilling- ton, since in 1553 the latter sold to Thomas Hanchett of Albury, a rent of ^^8 being reserved to the school.*^ Hanchett sold in 1555 to George Hadley and his wife ^ Early in the year 1584 George.
