 this manor to extend thither. He lived about 1196, and

Sir Gilbert de Ho, alias de Schelfangels, was his son and heir.

John de Ho, son of Sir Gilbert, augmented it more, having divers lands granted him by Alexander Abbot of Sibton; after him

Henry de Ho occurs in a deed without date, and Osbert de Ho, alias Shelfangls.

In 1218, Guido or Eudo de Ho, alias de Shelfangre, was lord, who the same year had a grant of free-warren to his manor; he is sometimes in evidences called Eudo Fitz-Osbert, from his father; he granted his moiety of the advowson, in 1227, to

Ralf, son of Reginald, and his heirs, who left it to his son William, whose son John, in 1256, sold it to

John del Ho; and then it was joined again.

In 1275 he was Sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk, and paid the third penny of the county to the Earl of Norfolk. He held much land here of Bury abbey, and many rents and services, to the value of 112 acres. To this Sir John succeeded

Eudo in 1276, in whose time it was first called Hoe's manor; he claimed streys and had it allowed in 1220. Walter de Shelfangre, one of this family, was Sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk, and was fined for extortion; but whether he was ever lord or no I cannot say.

In 1280, Roger de Ho had it, who left it the same year to

John de Ho; he granted a messuage, lands, and commonage in Shelfhanger, to Walter of Shelfhanger, uncle to John de Shotbroke, who became Walter's heir in 1286, in which year this John de Ho is said to hold it of the honour of Richmond, and had strey allowed him. In 1302 it belonged to another

Roger de Ho, who in 1307, upon marrying Agnes, (sirnamed Norwich probably, for William de Norwico, clerk, was deforciant in the fine,) settled it on them and their heirs. How it continued till 1345 I know not certainly, though it seems to be in a family sirnamed

De la Pole of Brisingham; for in 1331, this advowson was settled by Henry de la Pole of Brisingham, and Margaret his wife, on themselves and their heirs, which Margaret might be heiress to Roger and Agnes de Ho; and it is probable that De la Pole's daughter might marry Boseville: however, thus far I am certain, that in this year

Robert de Bosewill, or Bosville, had the manor which was lately Roger de Hoe's. In 1362,

Adam Boseville was lord, and so to 1375; in 1423,

Thomas Torrell, Esq. had it, from whom it went, in 1455, to

Henry Noon, from which time it hath passed, joined with Vice de Lieu's manor, as it is at this day. [1736.]

The Manor of Vice de Lou
Which was the part held by Modephefe, had its name from the lords thereof; Humfridus Vise de Lou, or Wolf's Face, (for such is the signification of the name,) lived in the time of the Conqueror, and held lands in Berkshire, as Domesday informs us, whose descendant,
