In A 3 Edward VI he purchased the Manor of Plumford from Thomas Colepeper, who had bought it of Anthony Aucher, to whom the king granted it two years previously (see Harleian Charters, 76 I,1).  And in A 8 Elizabeth he acquired the adjoining Manor of Paynter's from Sir Thomas Cheyney, to whose father, Sir Henry Cheyney, Henry VIII granted it upon the dissolution of monasteries.  Furthermore, in A 10 Elizabeth, he bought from Thomas Wood, of Ospringe, the Manor of Lorinden alias Cade's in that parish.
