  Property
  Manor of Higham Gobion
  "The manor was of considerable value at the date of the Survey, for it was assessed at 8 hides, and was worth £8. It had been held in the time of Edward the Confessor by five sokemen, who could assign and sell their land to whom they wished. By 1158 the manor had passed to Richard Gobion, (fn. 4) whose family gave their name to the place, and held the manor until 1300. In 1231 Katherine, widow of Richard Gobion, successfully claimed her third of 3 carucates in Higham as the dower settled on her by him and his father Richard. (fn. 5) Her opponent Hugh Gobion, grandson of Richard, was holding shortly afterwards two knights' fees in Higham, Streatley, Faldo, and Sharpenhoe; (fn. 6) he died in 1275, (fn. 7) and was succeeded by his son Richard, who in 1279 was accused by his mother Maud of failing to carry out an agreement made between them in 1277, whereby Maud had handed over one-third of the manor, which she held as dower, in return for £10 of silver paid annually during her life. (fn. 8) The dispute was amicably settled in the same year, and Maud was granted right of distraining if Richard should fail to pay the rent. (fn. 9) In 1284–6 the holding amounted to one and one-fifth part of a knight's fee. (fn. 10) Richard died in 1300, (fn. 11) leaving two daughters, the elder of whom, Hawise, married Ralph Butler, (fn. 12) to whom she brought the manor as her inheritance, after the death of her mother Margaret, in 1311. (fn. 13)"[1]
