In 1539 Thomas received a grant of Sleaford manor, Lincolnshire, from Henry VIII.
In 1540 Thomas had a grant of Mareham Grange, Lincolnshire (SE of Sleaford).
Mareham Grange had belonged to Sempringham Priory until the Priory was dissolved in 1538.
In 1551 Thomas had a grant of Burton Pedwardine, Lincolnshire (further SE of Sleaford, SE of Mareham Grange, see map).
Mareham Grange became part of the main estate of Burton Pedwardine.
