" Easton Hall is a handsome modern building, erected by William Wright, Esq. on the site of the ancient manor-house; it is about a mile and a half eastward from the church, upon an eminence, not far distant from Borley church, to which parish this estate was formerly reckoned to belong.
The lands lie in Borley, Belchamp Otton, and Belchamp Walter, and are supposed to be what in Domesday-book are entered as among the encroachments on the king's demesnes : before the Conquest, these lands belonged to Grima and Godeva, two freemen, and afterwards to Anchetil. "

" William le Gros, earl of Albemarle and lord of the parish of Borley, left two daughters, of whom Amicia was the mother of Constance, whose son was named Ranulph de Eston;* and several persons assumed this surname, as is supposed, from this place, and resided here as late as the reign of Richard the Second. "

" Nicholas de Beauchamp appears to have held possessions here, and was succeeded by the De Veres, in which noble family this estate continued several generations. John, the fifth earl of Oxford, granted it to Maud, wife of William de Beauchamp. "

" It belonged to Alberic, the tenth earl, some time before the year 1400; and it was holden by his widow, Alice, of the earl of March: it afterwards belonged to Richard, the eleventh earl, and was holden by Alice, his widow; succeeded by their son John, who held it till his attainder, for his adherence to the house of Lancaster, when it was given to John Howard, duke of Norfolk; but it was restored, by King Henry the Seventh, to John, the thirteenth earl of Oxford, and remained in the family till it was disposed of, with other estates, by Edward, the seventeenth earl. "

" It afterwards became the property of the Pemberton family, descending from the Rev. Jeremiah Pemberton to his son, the Rev. Edward, who sold it, in 1811, to William Jones, Esq. who left it to its present proprietor. "
