Through the centuries the village was known as Manatona, Manetun, Maneton and Maynton. In 1086 the parish was one of the outlying ‘berewicks’ of Hambleton which belonged to the King. Henry I gave half the manor to Abbey of Cluny but this reverted back to the crown in 1414 when Henry V seized lands belonging to alien priories. The Kings esquire a William Porter was given custody of the manor in 1415 he then sold it on for a great sum to Ralph, Lord Cromwell. During the 16th century the manor was held by the Duke of Suffolk and then through descendants to the Sidney family, then the Dales and various other families. “If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first at churchmicro@gmail.com so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication. There is also a Church Micro Stats & Information page found via the Bookmark list”
