- This is the last mention of the Hacket family in connexion with the manor, which may perhaps have lapsed to the overlords soon after this time, for John Talbot was said to be holding it in 1346, (fn. 72) and no mention is made of any sub-tenant. His daughter Elizabeth wife of Sir Warin Archdekne held a fee at Crowle at the time of her death in 1407–8, (fn. 73) and again no sub-tenant is mentioned, and her son-in-law Sir Walter Lucy held it in 1428. (fn. 74) In 1431, however, an eighth of a knight's fee at Crowle Hackett was held by John Froxmere of Droitwich, (fn. 75) and it was evidently from him or his descendants that the manor took the name Froxmere Court, by which it was subsequently known.
From this time until 1575 documents relating to this manor are wanting, but it probably passed from John Froxmere, who died without issue, to his brother Thomas, (fn. 76) who left daughters as his co-heirs. This manor passed to the eldest daughter Anne wife of Edward Cockett of Ampton. (fn. 77) Her eldest son Anthony died in her lifetime, and on her death a disagreement arose between her grandson and heir, Arthur son of Anthony, and his uncle, her younger son Thomas, as to the division of her estate, and the dispute was not settled until 1580. (fn. 78) Each seems to have claimed half the manor of Crowle, for in 1575 Arthur sold half to William Banaster, (fn. 79) and in October 1579 Thomas Cockett sold his moiety to Arthur, (fn. 80) of whom it was purchased in November of the same year by William Penrice alias Glover of Crowle. (fn. 81) Banaster's moiety was purchased in 1584 by Richard Gardener, (fn. 82) who sold it in 1587 to William Penrice. (fn. 83)
