VCH Leicester identifies Walter de Langton as the successor to Ralph Peverel,
living 1279, whose lands he had by a grant from Richard de Pydyngton,
regarding property at Thorpe Langton in the parish of Church Langton [Ref:
Douglas Richardson SGM 1/29/2019-125940]
Easter term 1371: identified in a lawsuit as "son and heir of Simon
Peverel" [Ref: Douglas Richardson SGM 1/29/2019-125940]
there is plenty of evidence to show that Walter de Langton was brother of
Robert Peverel whose son was his heir, not the least being Langton's IPM in
1322 - "Edmund, son of Robert Peverel his brother, aged 14, is his next heir"
and "His nephew a son of Robert Peverel... is his next heir" [CIPM VI no.
330].
Walter's IPM also records that he held the manor of Ashley,
Northamptonshire, which he had acquired from John de Hotoft of Gunthorp which
was held of John de Beaufou for service of 1/2 a knight's fee. He had acquired
this property before 1306 when he was granted free warren over his land there
by King Edward I. The inquisition also records that he held 3 acres in Kirk
Langeton, Leicestershire, of Thomas Latimer, Lord of Wardon. While this was in
the next county to Northamptonshire, in reality Kirk Langton, East Langton and
Thorpe Langton are situated only about 6 miles from Ashley. The bishop also
held lands in Thorpe Langton and Langton which were included in his grant of
free warren in 1306. Part of Thorpe Langton was held in chief by the Bassets
of Weldon and was tenanted by members of the Peverel family. "Ralph Peverel in
1279 held 3 1/2 virgates in demesne and 2 virgates in villeinage, all of which
he held of Thomas de Langton, who held of Richard Burdet, who held of Robert
de Tateshall, who held of Ralph Basset. [From: 'Church Langton', A History of
the County of Leicestershire: Volume 5: Gartree Hundred (1964), pp. 193-213].
Walter Langton's interest in Ashley is likely to have predated his own
acquisition, as indicated by details from a law suit during the 1329/1330 Eyre
of Northamptonshire [Sutherland, Donald W. (ed., 1983). The Eyre of
Northamptonshire, 3-4 Edward III, A.D. 1329-1330 (Selden Soc., v. 97)
p.454-261], in which the Abbot of Pipewell sued Ralph Basset of Weldon and his
wife Joan for hindering his presentation of a parson to the church of Ashley,
Northamptonshire. In setting out the history of the advowson, the abbot
outlined the descent and involvement of the Peverel/ Langton family.
In the time of Richard I, the advowson was in the hands of a certain
Richard Dauntz , whose right descended to his daughter and heir, Agnes, and
from Agnes to Peter Peverel as her son and heir. When the church became vacant
there was a dispute between the abbot of Pipewell and Peter over the next
presentation to the church so they decided to take turns, with Peter taking
the first turn. He appointed Master Richard de Langton, his cleric. The right
of presentation descended to Peter's daughter and heir, Agnes, who appointed
William Peverel. Afterwards it passed to her son and heir Ralph, who died
without issue, so that it passed to his kinsman and heir Richard de
Piddington, from whom bishop Walter Langton bought the advowson and made
several presentations during his lifetime. [Ref: Rosie Bevan SGM

heir was his nephew, Edmund PEVEREL [Ref: CP V p76(f)]
