Up to this date the manor appears to have been thickly wooded, (fn. 62), but Robert is responsible for the cutting down of much timber. (fn. 63) A moiety of his property was inherited by each of his two daughters, Anne who married Henry Frowick, and Elizabeth the wife of James Stracheley. (fn. 64) Henry and Anne Frowick held their share in 1495, (fn. 65) and in 1507 sued John More and Joan his wife for rent at their court of North Mimms. (fn. 66) They had a son Thomas who died without issue, and two daughters, Isabel who married Thomas Bedlowe and Elizabeth the wife of John Coningsby. (fn. 67) Anne's share of the manor came to John Coningsby and Elizabeth, (fn. 68) and in 1529–30 James Stracheley and Elizabeth conveyed their half of the manor to John Coningsby, (fn. 69) who thus became possessed of the whole manor. Elizabeth Coningsby survived her husband and afterwards married William Dodds, (fn. 70) and the manor was settled upon them for their lives in 1557 by Henry (later Sir Henry) Coningsby, son of John Coningsby and Elizabeth, with reversion to Henry.
