• Background Information. ¹⁵¹
Walter de Calverley, second son of John, was born about 1295 and he was "of age" in or before 1318. In about 1318 is when his father settled property in Calverley on Walter and his wife Joan. In 1318, William de Greenfield granted to Walter de Calverley certain property in Pudsey acquired by Greenfield from Hugh de Woodhall, and appointed John de Pudsey to give sesin to Walter and Joan his wife. Watler appointed an attorney to receive seisin of his property. The seal to this deed is one of the earliest examples of Calverley arms. On an undated charter from about 1320, Hugh de Woodhall released all his interest, and he wrote a letter to his tenant, Richard de Morley, instructing him to do homage and render all future services to Walter. Walter granted a lease of part of this land in 1318, and his father was his witness. He bought two small properties in Pudsey about the same time.
