By c. 1150 the main Weston estate, later COLVILLES manor, had been subinfeudated to the Stutvilles. From Osmund de Stutville (fl. 1166) (fn. 56) it had descended by 1172 to Roger de Stutville, (fn. 57) possibly the sheriff of Northumberland 1170–85 who died c. 1190, (fn. 58) and from Roger to Anselm de Stutville (fl. 1194–6). (fn. 59) Anselm was dead by 1198, (fn. 60) leaving as heirs his five sisters. When his lands were divided (fn. 61) Weston was assigned to Beatrice, married by 1200 to William de Colville, (fn. 62) lord of Castle Bytham (Lincs.). William died in 1230, leaving as heir his son by Beatrice, Roger de Colville, (fn. 63) who held the manor c. 1236 (fn. 64) and probably died c. 1252 when it was included in his widow Beatrice's dower. (fn. 65) She still occupied it when in 1265, her son Walter being in rebellion, the reversion was granted to Warin of Bassingbourn. (fn. 66) Walter was pardoned in 1267 (fn. 67) and held the Weston manor at his death in 1277. His son and heir Roger (fn. 68) died in 1288, leaving a new-born son Edmund (fn. 69) who came of age in 1309 and died in 1316. Edmund's son Robert, then aged 11, (fn. 70) held the manor until he died, having just survived his son Walter (d. 1367), early in 1368. His heir, Walter's son Robert, (fn. 71) died aged 5 in 1369, and the Colville inheritance passed to the descendants of Edmund's sisters Elizabeth and Alice. Weston Colville was assigned to Alice's son Sir John Gernon, who died in 1384, having settled it for life upon his widow Joan, (fn. 72) with reversion to his daughter Joan Botetourt's daughter Joan. Joan the granddaughter, who married Sir Robert Swinburne, (fn. 73) retained Weston in her own right after Robert's death in 1391. (fn. 74) She died, having survived all her sons, in 1433, and Weston passed to her daughter Margery Berners's daughter Catherine, wife of Sir Thomas Fynderne, (fn. 75) who later inherited the other Weston manors called Moynes and Leverers. (fn. 76)

---The church of ST. MARY (fn. 303) was built mainly of field stones. Its stone dressings were largely replaced by grey brick in the 1820s. It consists of a chancel with north vestry, nave with south porch, and west tower. The nave, whose three south windows retained Decorated tracery in 1746, (fn. 304) was built in the early 14th century, as were the chancel arch and surviving original fragments of the chancel, where windows once contained the arms of Warenne, Colville, and Ufford.
