Notes:
14th century
Richard Thrale of Westhyd, Luyton, granted to William Goffe in 1355 a croft 'vinis, sepibus et fossatis' - with vines, hedges and ditches - at Westhyd, and was witnessed by William and Robert Thrale. Four years later William and Richard Thrale were connected with a grant of land at Hydefeld. Then in 1361, the ties of allied families showed themselves when William Thrale of West Hyde granted land to Ralph ate Hay and his wife Agnes, with the witnesses of Richard and Robert Thrale. It was about the years 1385 and 1390 Nicholas atte Haye of Stopsley was extending his estate in West Hyde. His mother was Agnes Thrale and in 1390 Nicholas confirmed lands in West Hyde to his mother.
15th century
In 1425, there was a grant by Thomas Eyresham of West Hyde, to William Anable of rent due for a messuage once held by the late John Thrall in Thrallesend, Westhyde, Luton, lying near Wellcroft. William Anable quite likely gave his name to 'Annables', a manor close to Thrales End, and an undated memorandum tells of certain nefarious activities of Richard Thrale recording that John Balard of Kynnysborn Wodesyde acknowledges to the lord of Annables that whereas Richard Smythe of the Soke of Luton held of the lord thirty acres of customary land and Richard Thrall of the same desired to buy one acre, the latter made John Balard his 'chapman' to arrange the matter and promised him 'a peyre of hosyn'. The business was done but John Balard 'desyned and defrauded of his hosyn and for anger thereof acknowledges all to the lord, at whose court the homage gave back the one acre to the lord. Richard Smith had fixed a rent for the acre of a "halfpenny and a pennyworth of peper to be payed to Langleys". This memorandum is endorsed: "md. that this writtying and books may be looked upon".
It was on the 12th May of 1474 that a licence was issued of tremendous influence. Thomas Rotherham (Archbishop of York from 1474 - 1499) obtained from his King, Edward IV, a licence for himself, his brother John Rotherham, John Lammer, Vicar of Luton, John Thrale (senior) of Thrales End, West Hyde, and others, to form a guild in connection with Luton Church and when the guild should be established to found a chantry in the Church with two Chaplains. The origins and aims were brotherly love, charity and social intercourse.
John Thrale, junior, witnessed a grant of land in Grave Granys (1471) and later in 1477 of lands in Westhyde. Richard Thrale possessed land adjacent to Sare Croft in West Hyde in 1482.
