By indenture dated 15 June 35 Hen. VIII (confirmed by Act of Pari. 35 Hen. VIII, no. 24), the King's Majesty .awarded to the Dacres, West Harlsey and i 7 other manors: to the King, for full recompense of his rever- sions, the castle and manor of Whorlton, an annuity of ^^20 out of the Exchequer, ^c: to Sir William and Joan Maleverer, the manor of Eckington : to Robert Roos, Upsall and 1 9 other manors, in satisfaction of the great costs he had sustained in the suit of the premises. Robert Roos sold Ingmanthorpe, ^c, to Thomas Edgar, of Bermondsey, Surrey, and the rest of his property was soon dissipated. At least, Thoroton {Notts, vol. iii, p. 209) relates that Bridget Roos, by her own misfortunes and the wicked unthriftiness of her son, Gilbert Roos, was reduced to so great poverty that she gleaned corn among other poor people in Laxton field.
