The Etchingham family papers document that William was so delighted with his right-hand man that he gave him the land currently referred to as Etchingham. The moated manor house, long since knocked down, stood at the point now inhabited by the London to Hastings railway line. Several of the stone from the mansion was probably used in the building and construction of the station buildings. There is one tale that a great bell lay at the bottom of the moat surrounding the church as well as estate, which it would certainly never ever be seen till six yoke of white oxen were brought to drag it up.
