^b Brytys, Byrttes, or Bryttys Place, hodie Bretts is in the County of Essex,
Hundred of Chafford, Parish of Alveley. The house is about a mile north-west
of Alveley Church, within sight of the road from Alveley to Romford. W. Sautre
possessed Le Bryttes Place in 1404. John Sautre sold it in 1446 to Richard
Andrews, King’s Secretary and Dean of York, brother-in-law to old Richard Cely,
who sold it to Richard. Richard Junior died seised of it in 1494 (Inq. P.M., 9
H. VII., Sept. 20th).
