In the west was another manor, that of Lyllestone, a name still preserved in the corruption, "Lisson" Grove. In 1338 it was in the hands of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem. Sir William de Clyf held it from the knights. In 1512 the then Lord Prior granted a parcel of land out of the manor to John and Johan Blennerhasset on a fifty years' lease.
