Sir Galfredus de Say held it [the manor of
Bocstede] in 1352, and it continued in his family for thirty years, when
John de Say died seized of this manor in his minority, leaving it to
Elizabeth, his sister and heiress. It continued in the de Say family down to 1397 when
Sir J. de Clynton [who had married
Idonea de Say] held the manor.
William Heron [who had married
Elizabeth de Say] was his successor (1403), but the de Clyntons again held it (1432).
Then it passed to the Lewknors, by whom it was sold in 1523 to the Walleys.
William Heron, Lord Say, by his testament bearing date Oct. 30, 1404 (6th Henry IV), appointed Sir Robert Pebelow, Parson of Westbourne, Sir Piers, Vicar of Bourne, feoffees of the Brewose his lands, which fell to
Elizabeth Lady Say, his wife, by inheritance, should deliver all those lands unto her next heir, on the Brewose his side, charging them as they could answer at the day of doom, to compleat an hospital which was begun at
the church of Buckstead, of six or four poor men at least; and a chantry priest to govern them, the priest to have for his support ten marks, and every poor man five marks per annum.
