Certain lands in Losley [Loxley, of Robin Hood fame] were sold with the manor of Walton Mauduit by the Earl of Warwick to Simon de Wauton, Bishop of Norwich (1258-66). The bishop conveyed them to John de Wauton, who was probably his great-nephew. Subsequently John de Wauton received from Walter Giffard, Archbishop of York (1266-79), a grant of the two Walton manors and all his land in Loxley; this was possibly the carucate and 100s. in rents which Henry le Foun and Isabel his wife quitclaimed to the archbishop in 1278. The archbishop was perhaps acting as trustee for John de Wauton whose daughter and heir Maud, was in 1279 a ward of Godfrey Giffard, Bishop of Worcester, Walter's younger brother.

....

This Mr. Simon, who bought property in Walton Deyville, became Bishop of Norwich in 1258 and died in 1265. His successor Sir John de Wauton died in or shortly before 1277, leaving a widow Isabel, who married Henry le Foun, and a young daughter Maud.

....

Mr. Simon was elderly when he became bishop and may well have been married when young. John de Wauton died in 1277, and his widow Isabel married Henry le Foun. John's heir, his daughter Maud, was a child, and in 1278 Henry and Isabel conveyed the manors of Walton and other lands to Walter Giffard, Archbishop of York

John de Wauton died in 1277 (fn. 62) and his widow Isabel married Henry le Foun. (fn. 63) John's heir, his daughter Maud, was a child, and in 1278 Henry and Isabel conveyed the manors of Walton and other lands to Walter Giffard, Archbishop of York. (fn. 64) On the death of Walter in the following year these estates passed to his brother Godfrey Giffard, Bishop of Worcester, who in 1281 conveyed them to Robert Burnel, Bishop of Bath and Wells, for life, with remainder to Maud, whom he undertook to marry to one of the elder sons of either his brother Hugh Burnel or of Sir Robert de Escales. (fn. 65)

NOTE: there is no evidence that he is a father to Isolde who married John Le Strange VI of Knockin, his son. (There was confusion about the wives of the various John Le Stranges in this period until the 20th century.)

That the father of John de Wauton was Simon can be seen in the Fine Rolls of 1277, after he died. That record names his executors as Eustace de Hacche and Philip de Arcy.[1] It has been proposed by Dugdale that this Simon was a son of a Simon who was a nephew of this Simon. He also agreed with the theory that the bishop's family may have been named after this area where they later bought the lordship.[2]

Also note evidence that one Simon was son of Gervase, and had a brother Thomas who helped in the affairs of John and his heiress Maud/Mathilda:

Enrolment of grant by Thomas son of Gervase de Wauton to Sir Robert Burnel, bishop of Bath and Wells, of the homage and entire service of Matilda, daughter and heiress of John de Wauton, and of her heirs for all the lands that she holds of Thomas in Wauton Deyvyll, Wauton Maudut, Welleburn, Lockesle, Bradele, and Totebache, and elsewhere in the realm. For this grant the bishop gave him 10 marks.[3]

Concerning the parentage of Maud, many sources including older versions of the Complete Peerage made an amalgam of several people. But as explained in more recent sources such as L' Estrange Ewen, Richardson and The Victoria History of Warwickshire (under Wellesbourne), Maud de Walton (or de Wauton) was daughter of John de Wauton, son of Simon de Wauton, who bought the manor from the D'Eiville family when Roger d'Eiville had money trouble.

As explained in the VCH account, Maud was still a minor in 1277, and Walter Giffard, Archbishop of York was assigned by her parents over their manor, with the intention that Maud would inherit them. In 1281 he conveyed them to Robert Burnel, Bishop of Bath and Wells. He "undertook to marry to one of the elder sons of either his brother Hugh Burnel or of Sir Robert de Escales. As already mentioned, however, Maud married first Sir John de Strattelinges and secondly John Lestrange of Knockin, and thirdly Thomas Hastang."

A mill in Buckland is recorded in the Domesday Survey, when its value was stated to be 6/. 40 It was probably identical with the mill in Hartswood, parcel of the manor of Buckland, of which later record is found (vide infra). In 1268 John de Wauton and his heirs received a grant of free warren in his demesne lands in Buckland and elsewhere. 41 Guy Ferre re- ceived a grant of free warren in his demesne lands of Buckland in 1291," nearly two years before the formal grant of the manor was made him by John de Wauton. In 1350 a complaint was made by the Earl of Arundel that his free chases and warrens at Buckland had been entered by trespassers who hunted and took away the deer, hares, rabbits, pheasants, and part- ridges. 4 * In 1390 it was found that the manor was charged with a payment of 2</. yearly, then due to Richard Chamberlayn, who was custodian of the warren there. 44

HJRTSfPOOD, lying in the ecclesiastical parish of Sidlow Bridge, originally formed part of the manor of Buckland. The name occurs early in the 1 3th century, when John de Wauton, lord of the manor of Buckland, granted to Robert de Harts- wood, for his homage and service, a field called Rudene lying between the mill of ' Herteswode' and a field called Pegesull. 45 There is no further mention of this mill, which apparently fell into dis- use. In 1379 Jhn de Arundel, lord of Buckland,, received licence to inclose his wood of ' Herteswode,' and to impark 360 acres of land adjacent thereto.
