Steward, Norf. and lt. Castle Rising for Ralph, Lord Cromwell, by Mich. 1430, for prior of West Acre, Norf. ?1440s, for Walter Lyhert, bp. of Norwich ?1450s. Norf. Rec. Soc. mss, 14195; Paston Letters ed. Davis, ii. 525–7; Paston Letters ed. Gairdner, iii. 263. But is possible that the bp. for whom he was steward was Brown’s predecessor, William Alnwick, rather than Lyhert.

Feodary of duchy of Lancaster, Norf. 1 Dec. 1433–30 Sept. 1435. R. Somerville, Duchy, i. 598. According to Blomefield, x. 31, Yelverton was the duchy’s steward in Norf. bef. 1444, but Somerville does not record his holding such an office. It is nevertheless worth noting that in the 1430s Edward, Lord Hastings, accused him of ‘pretending’ to be an under steward of the duchy, in a bill in which the peer complained about the MP’s treatment of the tenants and servants of his son, John Hastings: C1/44/182–3.
