The first men known to have held the manor were surnamed of Abenhall. (fn. 69) William, a woodward in 1216 and 1237, (fn. 70) was presumably the lord of Abenhall, and his son Ralph (fl. 1255) (fn. 71) had evidently acquired a moiety of Mitcheldean manor by the 1240s, when he was paying 30s. rent to the Crown. (fn. 72) The same or another Ralph, keeper of the bailiwick in the 1260s, (fn. 73) was succeeded in Abenhall manor at his death c. 1301 by his son John. (fn. 74) In 1317 John's brother and heir Ralph granted the manor, described as a messuage and two ploughlands, to another brother Reynold. (fn. 75) Reynold (d. c. 1341) was succeeded by his son Ralph, (fn. 76) and Ralph died c. 1347 leaving an infant daughter Margaret as his heir. (fn. 77) Margaret and her husband Lawrence Greyndour obtained seisin of Ralph's lands in 1358 (fn. 78) and her second husband Robert of Huntley retained them after her death in 1357. Her son and heir John Greyndour
