Possible owners include Warin de Bassingbourn, sheriff of Northants in 1267, who died in 1269; his son, Edmund, of Blyborough, Lincolnshire, who is recorded as active in 1282-1289; and Edmund's probable son, another Warin, who was recorded as serving in the Falkirk campaign of 1298 and was still alive in 1317.
