In 1481, Walter Devereux, 8th Baron Ferrers of Chartley, granted the advowson to St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, and in 1485, the rectory was appropriated by King Henry VII of England who transferred the house and its income to the Dean and Chapter of St George's Chapel in 1495.
A second vicarage was ordained in 1496 and in 1497-8, the College of St George paid for repairs to the stable, barns and dovehouse.
The Abbey was then leased to local squires by the College of St George for the next 350 years.

Some lessees during this period include Richard Wyntersell (1514), John Hyde (1538), Thomas Sackford (1562) and John Fettiplace of Besils-Leigh (1564).
Thomas Sackford's lease required him to entertain the College of St George's steward at the mansion house twice a year for two days and two nights, a provision that was still included in eighteenth-century leases.

In 1589, the College of St George was contemplating legal action against Richard Hyde, son of the late lessee John Hyde, for failing to keep the house in repair.

From 1611 to 1631 the lease was held by the Thomas Windsor, 6th Baron Windsor.
In 1634 the buildings included 'a very ancient parsonage house', three barns, a woolhouse, a sheephouse, a stable and a cowhouse.
From 1669 onwards, the lease was held by the Justices of Sutton.
In the late eighteenth century, the Justices began to extend the original leasehold curtilage by buying the freehold of adjoining tenements.
Thomas Justice bought houses flanking the road on the west in 1773 and 1785.
His son Francis bought a row of three cottages immediately east of the rectory plot in 1798, 1810 and later.
