"The manor of Poynings in Sussex passed to Eleanor de Poynings (d.1484), daughter and heiress of Richard de Poynings, and wife of Henry Percy, 3rd Earl of Northumberland (1421-1461). Subsequently the lordship of Poynings became merged in the Earldom of Northumberland. His son Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland (d.1489) bequeathed the manor and lordship of Poynings to his youngest son Josceline Percy "to the intent that the said Gosslyne shall be of loving and lowly disposition towards the said Henry his [eldest] brother and give him his allegiance". In 1514, however, the manor was conveyed by Henry Percy, 5th Earl of Northumberland (1478-1527)and his wife Katherine Spencer to trustees, and in 1523 the same earl leased it to George Gyfford for 21 years".
