The Gatehouse website record for St Lois

Also known as, or recorded in historical documents as; St Loys; Sutton; le maners

In the civil parish of Sutton Upon Derwent. In the historic county of Yorkshire East Riding (Modern Authority of East Riding of Yorkshire, 1974 county of Humberside).

Medieval moated site surviving as an earthwork. Site of fortified manor house. Building debris reported in eastern enclosure. Licence to crenellate granted to Robert Percy in 1293. The manor-house was probably mentioned, as 'le maners' in the park, in 1309. It was certainly recorded in 1368. The park had been mentioned as early as 1280 and ground south of the manor-house is still called the Park. It may have been in the manor-house, moreover, that the chapel was located where Aubrey, widow of Robert de Percy, was licensed to have a chaplain in 1232. In 1314 Aubrey, daughter of Robert de Percy, was granted an oratory in the manor-house.
