After passing through the hands of two other families, it came into the possession of the Hiltons. Abraham Hilton (died 1718) was Lord of the Manor of Hilton.

170201	165067	D/Bo/A 469-633	53193	S	Court Leet and Court Baron		The manor is first mentioned as being the lordship of Meldred, a grandson of Uchtred, Earl of Northumberland. His successor, Robert Fitz-Meldred married Isabel, sister and heiress of Henry de Neville (died 1227) and his son, Geoffrey. assumed the Neville surname. The manor remained in the possession of the Nevilles until the Northern Rising of 1569, after which it was seized by the Crown and was vested there until 1613 when it was granted (with the lordship of Barnard Castle) by James I to the Earl of Somerset. It quickly reverted to the Crown, however, when Somerset was attainted and the manor was settled on trustees for the maintenance of Charles, Prince of Wales (later Charles I). Sir Henry Vane the elder subsequently purchased the lordship and it has descended from him in a direct line through the Dukes of Cleveland to the Barons Barnard (Vane family).

170209	165067	D/Bo/A 727-800	53251	S	Case Papers		The manor of Cotherstone was originally the property of the Huddleston family of Millom Castle (Cumberland). In 1741, however, it was purchased by George Bowes from William Huddleston and it has remained a manor of the Strathmore (Bowes) family from that date. The history of the manor is marked by a series of disputes between the lord and the customary tenants concerning the steward’s fees in the manor court. The tenants claimed that they were only bound to pay 1s. for admission to a copyhold tenement and 3s.4d. for a copy of the admission, except in the case of a new tenant where the charge for an admission was increased to 1s.4d. Litigation concerning the dispute continued intermittently for a period of almost 300 years until the matter was resolved in favour of the tenants by a judgment in the Court of Appeal in 1898. The records deposited in the Museum relate almost exclusively to various legal actions, the majority in the Court of Chancery, and the few court rolls which survive were produced as exhibitions in the Chancery case of 1653 (D/Bo/D 801). The three deeds D/Bo/A 797-799 and the later transcripts and translations were found in a contemporary leather-covered box where they had been kept because of their importance in determining manorial custom. This arrangement has been maintained.
