WAS BOTLEY'S A MEDIEVAL MAWBEY FAMILY SEAT?

When Sir Joseph Mawbey I bought the Botleys estate in Surry in 1763, he was purchasing the place where his ancestors appear to have lived in the 13th and 14th centuries.
I had not seen this 'discovered' or documented anywhere before I stumbled across it recently.

His ancestors starting with his namesake, Sir Walter de Mauteby, born 1194, were all born in Mauteby, Norfolk.
By the start of the 13th century, the family had moved to Botleys, Surrey.
