History of Yorkshire North Riding;

Gilbert de Ayton Lord in 1334, produced a charter of Henry 1 granting to Reginald Belet,Gilberts predecessor in title ,for 110s annually,11 carcucates ,1 oxgang of land in Ayton and Preston and 13 oxganges in Ebberston,with soc.and sac,tol,and team,infangentheof and all customs; these lands he said,had become the manors of Hutton and Ayton. This Belet was identical with Reginald Bushell who married Asliza or Alice niece of William Percy founder of Whitby Abbey ,and of Serlo the prior,and granted to the Abbey the church of Hutton.this grant,with that of half a carucate of land and Westcroft,was long afterward confirmed by Alan his son in the pressence of King Stephen.

Alan son of Alan again confirmed these grants. An Alan son of William Bushell confirmed the grants of Reginald and Alan his son .

In 1179-81 Alan and Richard Bushell were engaged in a suit against William de Ayton.

1211 Alan was succeeded by William his son ,who was living in 1230.

Ralph Bushell made grant here about 1270-80,but in 1276 Alan Bushell was said to have had a gallows here for sixteen years.

Ralph Bushell ,an outlaw in 1284,held a messuage and 9 oxgangs of land, but the manor seems to have escheated to the Vescys.

Lady Agnes de Vescy held its 11 carcucates in 1285,Gilbert De Ayton,heir of Vescys entailed the manor in 1327

The King's grant of land in the socages of Falsgrave and Pickering to Reginald Belket may possibly bear some relation to Belets marriage to a Lady of the house of Percy,dated 21 sep 1114

Arms; Argent a chevron between three water bougetts sable.
