The Domesday Survey records only one holding in Beyton; 40 acres held by
a free man of Eadgifu the Rich before the Conquest and by Hugh de Montfort in
1086. In 1413 John Duyk, chaplain with Robert Ennok and John Frankelayn
received the manor of Beyton and the advowson of the church in fee from John
Rous the elder, and in the following year they in turn granted the same
properties to John Rous the Younger - one of those confusing transactions that
are so common in feudal England. These transfers are recorded in the Edington
Cartulary.
Benefice of Rougham , Beyton with Hessett and
Rushbrooke.
