The manor of Spaldington descended in the de la Hay family until a de la Hay heiress, Isabella de la Hay (died before 1481) married John Vavasour, around 1431. Through this marriage the manor passed to the Vavasour family, a cadet branch of the Vavasours of Hazelwood, and John Vavasour made his seat in Spaldington.  [1]
