THE MANORS OF MOOR AND NEWNHAM
These were the principal manors.  at different times over the centuries they were held either in demense ( a Home Farm for the Priory)  or leased to free tenants.

In 1215 the leases on the Manors of Moor and Newnham were extended for another 16 years.
In 1240 the Manors of Moor (Mora)  and Newnham were back in demense. Each included 3 caucutes of land and a court with a chapel.

Relationships with the prior were not always harmonious
In 1241 the prior made peace with the parson and freemen of Newnham concerning the assart of Cornwood.



A STORY FROM THE MANOR OF KNIGHTON
This manor was subinfeudated or sold to the Knighton family

The Knighton family
Kettleburn de Knighton held the Manor in the reign of Henry 11.  It would seem that he had 3 sons
His son Thomas received half a hide (60 acres) and this was passed to his son Hugh.
Hugh gave it to the Priory in 1208.  This gift was confirmed by Miracula his mother.
His son Osbert received half a virgate (30 acres) and this passed to his son Ralph
Ralph gave it to the Priory between 1195 and 1205 (retaining a life interest which expired on his death in 1220)
His son Richard unsuccessfully claimed part of the manor in 1220 -1

In 1229 the prior made an agreement with Christine de Knighton (who was possibly the widow of High de Knighton) that she should givve up all claim in the manor in exchange for a yearly portion of three €crannocks€ of wheat during her lifetime.

By an undated charter William, Prior of Worcester, confirmed to Adam Parmentarius of Knighton all the land which he had bought of Hugh de Knighton, paying yearly to the prior and convent 7s at four terms.

The manor appears subsequently to have been annexed to Newnham whose descent it follows.
