No 1292, c1293. Margery, widow of Hugh de Baskerville to Baldwin de Baskerville. RELEASE of a tenement in and outside the vill of Northwood which the said Hugh enfeoffed to the said Baldwin. Witnesses: lord Alan de Glazeley, lord Ralph de Arras, Knights, Geoffrey de Overton, Guy de Glazeley, Adam de Bold, Robert de Ditton, Richard de Hollicote, John de Glazeley, Walter de Norton.
!Note: in the below, “Land of Emma Paen” is labeled over Northwood in a map of the area. This is extremely misleading, as Emma Paen was only given as the person renting out a handfull of small, one or two acre tracts, not the owner of huge amounts of land. She was a widow to a William of Northwood and had a son Robert of Northwood. Paen is a Welsh first name, which appears as ap Paen and verch Paen for patrynomic last names. In this case, that has been given sometimes as a Normanized FtizPaen. I can find no evidence other than these deeds for and Emma Fitz Paen’s birth or marriage, so it is hard to tell where she comes from, but she is actually a minor player in these land deeds of Northwood. Her transaction were in the period from 1265 to 1275, and her son’s appear in 1290. on “Medieval Northwood”, there was a comment that, “In 1259 there was a William de Northwood who married Emma, daughter of Paen de Northwood. Presumably after William’s death, Emma seems to have reverted to her father’s name and this was passed onto her son, Robert Paen.”

Tracing the other tenants is not always easy as surnames were not well established in the 13th Century. Perhaps unsurprisingly, a significant number of individuals called “de Northwood” held land in Northwood; it is difficult to know if they were related or whether the apparent surname simply meant that they were from Northwood. Several families can be identified. There was Richard, son of Thomas, Matilda his wife and Alice his daughter. Additionally there was another Richard, sometimes called Richard Warner with his daughters Agnes and Emma. John, son of Nicholas de Northwood is probably from a third family. Two widows, Petroville and Margery were also of Northwood. A Northwood family was still resident in the township in the 16th Century. In 1259 there was a William de Northwood who married Emma, daughter of Paen de Northwood. Presumably after William’s death, Emma seems to have reverted to her father’s name and this was passed onto her son, Robert Paen.
