Cowesby Manor - The tenancy in demesne in the 12th century belonged to Osmund, a member of a younger branch of the family of Stutevill and the first Stutevill of Gressenhall, Norfolk, who is generally supposed to have been a younger brother of Robert de Stutevill and grandson of the earlier Robert. He died before 1199 in possession of Cowesby. His widow Isabel, who married William de Huntingfield, successfully claimed dower in his Yorkshire lands against William de Stutevill, Osmund's son and heir. William de Stutevill died in 1259, and was succeeded by a son and heir Robert, whose nephew and heir Jordan Foliot succeeded him before 1275 and held the vill in 1284-5. Jordan Foliot died in 1299. His son and heir Richard, then aged fifteen, seems to have died young, and to have been succeeded by another Richard, his son, who never attained his majority. The manor was in the hands of Sir Amphorus de Vere until Richard died in or about 1325, when his heirs were his two sisters Margery and Margaret, of twelve and eleven years of age respectively. The wardship of the co-heirs was purchased by Isabel de Hastings and Ralph de Camoys. Isabel married Margery to her son Hugh and Margaret was married to John Camoys son of Ralph.
