Mackenzie, Eneas stated: "Houghton Manor. — The last male of the family of Le Spring, the ancient lords of Houghton, was murdered in his own manor house by Robert Lacelles ; soon after which, Ralph Lord Nevill of Raby was excommunicated by Bishop Kellow, 1313, for seising and retaining the armour of the murdered Sir John Spring. Mary, said to be daughter and heiress of Henry le Spring, and in her own right lord of Houghton, married Rouland Belasyse. But there is much obscurity and contradiction in the early history of Houghton, which cannot now be remedied" (Mackenzie, Eneas, An historical, topographical, and descriptive view of the county palatine of Durham, 1834, p.355[2])
