On his death in 1315, Sir Hugh Wake was succeeded by his son Thomas, who was granted free warren in Blisworth on 22 February 1330. In the same year, he defended his right to view of frankpledge in the manor. He married Elizabeth daughter and heir of Hugh Cransley, and was succeeded about 1346 by his son Sir Thomas Wake, the husband of Alice sister and co-heir of William de Pateshull. He was living in September 1379, but probably died soon after, leaving Blisworth to his wife for her lifetime.
