Amy married John Carnell and received the manor of Nether Grendon, which some years later had passed into the possession of Sir Thomas Browne Fleet, who was governor of the castle of York.

Some years later, it was owned by John Mortimer. Mortimer’s daughter Agnes married Baldwin Willoughby, and possession of the estate passed to her son John. It remained in the Willoughby family until 1641 when the young Philip Willoughby sold it to Spencer Compton, second Earl of Northampton, together with a watermill called Keep Mill and a windmill.
