The following from VCH-Essex:

In 1248 the manor and the advowson of the rectory were sub-infeudated for 100 marks 
to John de Lessington, to hold of Robert and Beatrice and the heirs of the latter, 
doing service of 2 knights' fees at the court of the Honor of Rayleigh. An inspeximus 
of the accompanying charter gives the consideration as 1,000 marks and the object to 
acquit Robert and Beatrice of what they owed to the king as executors of the will of 
Hubert de Burgh and of their debts to the Jews for themselves and for Walter de 
Evermue their ancestor. In 1250 John de Lessington had licence to keep inclosed, 
with a hedge and ditch, the close which he had made in the wood of his manor of 
Theydon, but so that the deer could have ingress and egress. He died in 1257 holding 
the manor, which contained 3 carucates of land, of Robert de Briwes for the service 
of 2 knights' fees. His heir was his brother, Henry de Lessington, Bishop of Lincoln. 
The bishop died in 1258, being succeeded by his two nephews William, son of Roland 
de Sutton, and Richard de Markham. They divided this inheritance (which lay in 
several counties) between them in 1259, Theydon Mount falling to Sutton's share.

William de Sutton was succeeded by his son Robert, who was a supporter of Simon de 
Montfort and forfeited his property to the king after the battle of Evesham....

The manor must, however, have been restored to Robert de Sutton, possibly as a 
result of the Ban of Kenilworth, for on his death in 1274 he was found to hold in 
Theydon Mount a messuage, 200 acres of arable, 21 acres of meadow, 51 acres of 
pasture, a windmill, foreign wood, and £4 5s. 6½d. rent of assize, &c., of the Honor of 
Rayleigh by service of suit at the court of the honor, a gilt spur or 6d. yearly, and 
scutage for 2 knights. His heir was his son Richard, aged 8.

Robert de Briwes, the former mesne lord, died in 1276, leaving his son John as his 
heir. No further references have been found to their lordship, the tenants in demesne 
thenceforth always holding immediately of the Honor of Rayleigh.

In 1282 a commission of oyer and terminer was issued touching the persons who felled 
and carried away trees in the wood of 'Theydon Lessington' late of Robert de Sutton 
the younger, while in the hands of Oliver de Sutton, Bishop of Lincoln, who had 
custody of the land and heir. In 1303 Richard de Sutton was returned as holding ½ fee 
of the king of the Honor of Rayleigh. In 1308 he had licence to grant the manor of 
Theydon Mount in fee to his son John de Sutton and Margaret his wife.

In 1322 John de Sutton leased the manor for twelve years to Henry de Malyns and in 
the following year released to him all his right in the property. Malyns must have died 
soon after, for in 1324 John de Sutton released his right in the manor to Edmund de 
Malyns, Henry's son and heir. In 1326 Edmund was pardoned for acquiring in fee this 
property which was held in chief of the Honor of Rayleigh and entering upon it without 
licence. In 1346 he held ½ knight's fee in Theydon Mount.

Sir John de Sutton of Dudley (Worc.), son of the above John and Margaret de Sutton, 
disputed de Malyns' title to the manor, claiming that it descended to him after the 
death of his parents. In 1348 and again in 1350 the matter was heard before the court 
of Common Pleas, but Malyns evidently won his case.
