Another manor, later called MOCHETTES, originated with 1 knight's fee held by William Muschet from the bishop of Ely in 1166. (fn. 18) The land lay mainly in Fen Ditton with parcels in Horningsea. (fn. 19) It was held c. 1210 by another William Muschet (d. 1228). (fn. 20) On his death there was a dispute between Richard Muschet and William's son and heir Henry, tenant in 1251. (fn. 21) His son William held the fee in 1269 and 1279. In 1302 it was held by John Muschet (fl. 1316). (fn. 22) The manor presumably passed to his son, the merchant William Muschet (fl. 1336 √ó 1362). (fn. 23) In 1372 his son George conveyed the manor, possibly by way of mortgage, to John Queenborough, who was in possession in 1392. (fn. 24) Henry Cheyney, however, inherited its fee simple in right of his wife, who was probably George Muschet's daughter. (fn. 25) The manor was settled in 1377 on Henry's son Sir William Cheyney (d. 1399), whose widow Catherine held the manor in 1419. (fn. 26) It had passed by 1428 to Sir William Cheyney's son Lawrence (d. 1461). (fn. 27) In 1480 Lawrence's son and heir Sir John (d. 1489) granted Mochettes manor to his eldest son Sir Thomas, (fn. 28) who died in 1514. His daughter and heir Elizabeth brought the manor by her marriage to Thomas Vaux (b. 1509), later 2nd Lord Vaux of Harrowden. (fn. 29) Thomas and Elizabeth both died in 1556, and the manor passed to their son and heir William. (fn. 30) On his death in 1595, it descended to his grandson Edward, Lord Vaux, who sold it in 1619 to Thomas Willys (d. 1626). (fn. 31) The manor thereafter formed part of the Fen Ditton estate.
