Etymology

The affix, Paynel (l ) etc., is derived from the name of the Paynels of Broughton (Manley Wapentake LWR), a cadet line of the great Anglo- Norman family of Paynel (l ). The ancestral seat of the family was Les Moutiers-Hubert (dép. Calvados, arr. Lisieux) (Early Yorkshire Families , ed. C. T. Clay (Wakefield, 1973), 68). Adam II Paynel of the line of Broughton was dead by 1224 when his widow Agnes was a claimant for dower in Broughton, Castlethorpe and Riseholme. Riseholme is of course a neighbouring vill to South Carlton. The Domesday tenant-in- chief Ralph Paynel is not recorded by Domesday Book or the Lindsey Survey as having held land in Riseholme and South Carlton, so it would seem that an interest in these places was subsequently acquired by the Paynels of Broughton. For a full discussion, see Early Yorkshire Charters VI : The Paynel Fee , ed. C. T. Clay (Wakefield, 1939), 264–9.The Paynels of Boothby Pagnell (Threo Wapentake Kest) were a younger branch of the Paynels of Broughton, who in turn were a younger branch of the Paynels of Hooton Pagnell WRY (Early Yorkshire Charters VI , ed. Clay, vii n. 1).
