Escrick, Yorkshire East Riding:

In 1086 there were two estates at Escrick, each of 4 carucates, one of which 
comprised 'Chetelstorp'. Both were soke of the manor of Clifton (Yorks. N.R.) and 
belonged to Count Alan of Brittany; before the Conquest they had belonged to Morcar. 
About 1100 Count Stephen gave 'Chetelstorp' and 2 carucates in Escrick to St. Mary's 
abbey, York, and the other 2 carucates also passed to the abbey. The first 6 
carucates were granted by St. Mary's to Picot de Lascelles between 1145 and 1161, 
and the other 2 to Roger de Lascelles between 1197 and 1219. The Lascelles family, 
which had previously been the abbey's tenant at Escrick, thenceforth held the estate 
as part of the honor of Richmond and the liberty of St. Mary's. 

After the death of Roger de Lascelles c. 1300 the manor of ESCRICK was held in 
dower by his widow Isabel as the inheritance of his four daughters, Joan de 
Colewenne or Curwenne, Avice le Constable, Maud Tilliol, and Tiffany, widow of Ralph 
FitzRanulph. Isabel died in 1323. Tiffany's son Ralph, sometimes known as Ralph de 
Lascelles, was then heir to her share. Joan had granted the reversion of her part to 
Simon Ward and he to Roger Dammory, a rebel, and so it was seized by the Crown in 
1323. After Isabel's death the manor was divided between the Crown, Avice, Maud, 
and Ralph. It was probably the last three shares which were consolidated in the hands 
of Ralph de Lascelles. He apparently had them by 1344, and in 1362 he was 
described as lord of three-quarters of Escrick. The Lascelles family retained the estate 
until the death of Roger Lascelles, whose daughter and heir Margaret (d. 1499) 
married James Pickering. Margaret's grandson Christopher Pickering was succeeded in 
the early 16th century by his daughter Anne, who married Sir Henry Knyvett. The 
Knyvetts thenceforth held the manor and in 1607 Sir Thomas Knyvett (d. 1622) was 
created Baron Knyvett of Escrick. He was succeeded by his brother Sir Henry 
Knyvett, whose daughter and coheir Catherine married as her second husband 
Thomas Howard, earl of Suffolk, in or before 1583. Their son Edward was created 
Baron Howard of Escrick in 1628. It was he who sold Escrick in 1668 to Sir Henry 
Thompson.
