In 1227 Henry III granted the St. Valery estates to his brother Richard, 1st Earl of Cornwall. Beckley remained important as the "caput" of the Honour of St. Valery, which was sometimes called either the "honour of St. Valery of Beckley" or simply the "honour of Beckley". when Richard's heir Edmund, 2nd Earl of Cornwall died childless in 1300 his cousin Edward I inherited his estates. In 1308 Edward II granted Beckley to Hugh le Despenser, 1st Earl of Winchester, who then leased it to Sir John de Hadlow. When Sir John died in 1346 Beckley passed to The Black Prince, who in 1356 granted it to Sir John Chandos. In 1367 Beckley reverted to Richard III, and when his successor Richard II married Anne of Bohemia in 1382 he gave Beckley to Anne as part of her dowry. In 1394 Queen Anne died and Richard II gave Beckley to Sir John Golafre. When Sir John died in 1396 Richard granted Beckley to Sir Philip de la Vache, who went on to serve as Chamberlain to the Queen under Henry IV. Sir Philip had died by 1408, and when Henry V married Catherine de Valois in 1420 he gave her Beckley as part of her dowry. For the remainder of the 15th century the freehold of Beckley remained with the Crown, with a succession of noblemen appointed keepers or "Parkers" to manage Beckley Park on the King's behalf.
