and a strategically located croft (house) with
a common wall was built on the north side of the
chruch for the Horton home. It was owned by the
Hortons for the next 400 years It was known by
"le Prest Croft" This was Gobion's payment for
Hugh being bailiff for the outlying Mosley
holdings. The Inquisition of 1279 taken in
the 7th year of Edward the 1st reigh says that
Richard 111 Gobion was the Lord of the manor.

paid rent to use the Lord's land) and three
virgates held in free tenure. One being
Philip de Redesdale, one being Hugh de Horton
and one being his father Henry de Horton.
