The following is quoted from a History of the County of Buckinghamshire: Volume 4.
"One fee in Hanslope, reduced to half a fee before 1346, was known as TOTHALL MANOR. It remained subordinate to Hanslope Manor, paying 43d. in 1608 in lieu of suit of court, which had been commuted for a money payment before 1359. The family of Tothall were tenants in Tothall in the early 13th century. Robert de Tothall was holding later, and is perhaps the Robert de Tothall, son of Ralph, who was holding Tothall in 1276 and 1279. He was succeeded before 1287 by his son Ralph. Ralph's widow Maud was holding dower in lands which Sir Robert de Tothall, his successor, settled in reversion on Simon Barry (Barre), his wife Joan and their son Robert in 1316 and 1317. This manor may have been included in Joan's lands in Buckinghamshire, which passed on her death in 1337 to her son Robert Barry, who was holding it before 1346. He went out of his mind about this time, and the custody of his lands was granted to Henry Ewenny and his wife Alice, Robert's sister. The waste with which they were charged in 1363 was proved in respect of Tothall Manor in 1366. It was then intrusted to the next heir Robert Barry or de Tothall, on condition that he committed no waste and made suitable provision for his father and the latter's wife and children. In 1385 Joan widow of Robert Barry secured a third of Tothall Manor in dower from Alice Barry, who appears to have brought the whole estate in marriage to William Brampton before 1402. She was holding in 1407, and William Brampton, probably her son, in 1466. There is a break in the descent of the manor, but about 1540 it was settled on William Stone, his wife Alice and their heirs, subject to an annuity to John Rogers and his wife Isabel, and with contingent remainder to them. William Stone died seised of Tothall Manor in 1558, and his son and heir William, attaining his majority in 1568, conveyed this manor in the same year to Robert Lee. He transferred it in 1571 to Roger Andrew, who in 1574 conveyed it to Richard Troughton. He settled Tothall Manor on his son Alexander and his wife Mary on their marriage about 1598. They conveyed it in 1610 to Sir William Romney and his heirs. In 1615 Joseph Romney and others conveyed it to William Atkinson, who transferred it to Richard Lane and his heirs in 1632. He made a settlement of Tothall Manor in 1646 evidently in favour of his son William and his wife Elizabeth daughter of Sir Thomas Tyrell, kt., of Castle Thorpe, and was buried at Hanslope in 1650. Edward son of William Lane entered into possession of this manor in 1685 on attaining his majority. His daughter and co-heir Mary married Baldwin son of Sir Baldwin Wake, bart., and her share of Tothall Manor had passed to their son Sir Charles Wake-Jones, bart., before 1748. He was succeeded in 1755 by his cousin Sir William Wake of Riddlesworth Hall, Norfolk. His son William Wake agreed in 1763 to bar the entail in Tothall Manor under the will of Sir Charles Wake-Jones, and made a settlement concerning it in 1765. He succeeded his father in the baronetcy in this year, and was one of the landowners in Hanslope in 1778. His elder son William Wake succeeded in 1785, but Tothall Manor was bought by the younger son, the Rev. Richard William Wake, who settled it on the occasion of his marriage in 1798. At the request of himself and his wife it was sold to Edward Watts of Hanslope Park in 1802. This property, known as Tathall End, has remained part of the family estates."
