This was confirmed by Walter his brother and heir, who added a further piece of land to endow a light during masses for the faithful at Cockersand. Thomas de Norcross gave an acre in Norcross near Restinglaw, and his brother, William de Carleton, added half an oxgang in the same part of the township. This gift was confirmed by Walter son and heir of Sir William, and was occupied about 1270 by Henry de Haydock for a rent of 12d. In 1271 the canons made an exchange with Walter de Carleton, giving eleven 'falls' on the Hull (north of Walter's house) for eleven on the Smithy flat. The half oxgang in Norcross was in 1322 held by Richard Boteler of Marton by a rent of 12d. For the rentals 1451 to 1537 see Chartul. iii, 1266–7. The Cockersand lands were in 1560 granted by the Crown to Giles Parker, &c., to be held of the manor of East Greenwich in socage.
