THE MANORS OF SUFFOLK – Volume 6 by W A Copinger, Taylor Garnett, Evans & Co Ltd 1910 notes for the Manor of Bonds :-

 

We find that Nicholas Bonde, had a grant of free warren here in 1330 and the manor was subsequently held by Simon Sampson of Kersey. In the time of Queen Elizabeth Thomas Gawdy who was afterwards a knight and Judge of the Common Pleas, was owner of this manor, and also of Woolverstone and Tattingstone, into which parishes it extended.  He died 1st Nov. 1588, and Henry Gawdy his son and heir, was created a Knight of the Bath at the coronation of King James I. By 1609 the manor seems to have passed to Leonard Pillet, and in 1646 to Benjamin Cutler, who died in 1664. Subsequently we find it vested in the Rev. Charles Beaumont, who died seised of it in 1756, when it passed to his widow Elizabeth, and on her death passed to her daughter and heir, Elizabeth, married to Philip Bowes Broke, of Nacton.  He died in 1801, and she in 1822, when the manor vested in Philip Bowes Vere Broke, afterwards Sir Philip, and has since devolved in the same course as the Manor of Broke Hall, Nacton, in Colneis Hundred.
