• Background Information. 141
Ralph Paynel, sheriff of Yorkshire in 1088 and refounder of Holy Trinity Priory, York, was a tenant in chief at the Domesday survey in the counties of York, Lincoln, Northampton, Gloucester, Devon and Somerset, holding nearly the whole estate of Merlesuen, who had been sheriff of co. Lincoln in 1066. Ralph Paynel was probably the son of William Paynel, who appears to have possessed Les Moutiers-Hubert in Normandy, and to have been given lands in the Côtentin by King Willian I in marriage as a tenancy of the Abbot of Le Mont St. Michel. To this gift was possibly added Hambye, where William's son Ralph Paynel by his first wife and his descendants, the Paynels of Hambye, held a tenancy in chief which continued in the male line until the 15th century.

On the death in 1230 of Maurice de Gant, grandson of Robert de Gant and Alice Paynel, Irnham and East Quantockshead and the remainder of his Paynel inheritance passed to his distant cousin Andrew Luterel, who was descended from Ralph Paynel the Domesday tenant by his second wife Maud, presumed to be a daughter and coheir of Richard de Surdeval. Andrew Luterel had previously inherited the estates held by Ralph Paynel in right of his second wife, which included Hooton Pagnell and other lands in West Ride Yorks. These, which had been held by William Paynel of Hooton, grandson of Ralph by his second wife, passed to Geoffrey Luterel, Andrew's father, by marriage with Frethesant, daughter and eventually sole heir of William Paynel. Irnham, East Quantockshead and Hooton Pagnell thus descended in the Luterel family.
