Hunter mentions a grant by Roger Eberston, sacrist of the Chapel of St. Mary at York, of "all his mansion at Hooton Paynel" to Thomas de Bolton, Vicar of Hooton Pagnell, on the morrow of St. Matthew the Apostle, 1411; the grant was confirmed by Henry, Archbishop of York, on 14th Jan.1411. The oldest portion of Hooton Pagnell Hall is attributable to the Luterel family. It is a room with an oriel overlooking the fourteenth century archway on the N.W. side of the building.
