Some of the very old documents on the history of Anneville

The extent of 1274 refers to the possession by the de Cheney family of 2 carucates of land "de escaeta Sampsonis de Audeville quando tenentis partem Normannorum."

The grant above dates instead from 1248. According to the Rolls of the 1309 Assizes, Henry III had granted William de Cheney "all the tenements which belonged to John and Sampson de Anneville" which suggests that John, too, chose the Norman allegiance.
