In 1500 Miles Harcourt son of 'Christopher and Joan released all his claim in West Dean to Sir John Huddleston, his mother's second husband. (fn. 76) This was no doubt a quitclaim to Sir John for life', for this moiety of the manor remained in the Harcourt family until 1578–9, when it was sold by Walter Harcourt and his son Robert to Henry Giffard.
