I found this reference to a Stansted Manor (below) on a website documenting the Culpepper family's history. I have never heard of a Stansted Manor, and a quick Google search threw up nothing. More research needed!
Stansted Manor
Stansted Manor was held by several generations of the la Zouch family, and Henry la Zouch owned it at his death circa 1447. Soon after it appears to have passed to Sir William Culpeper, son of Sir John Culpeper of Oxen Hoath. At Sir William's death, it passed to his eldest son, Sir Richard Culpeper of Oxen Hoath. Sir Richard had no sons, and at his death in 1484, Stansted Manor passed to Richard's three daughters: Margaret Culpeper, wife of William Cotton of Oxen Hoath; Joyce Culpeper, wife of Edmund Lord Howard (one of their daughters was Catherine Howard, fifth wife of Henry VIII); and Elizabeth Culpeper, wife of Henry Barham, Esq. They sold it to Thomas Leigh of Sibton in Liminge. (Hasted's Kent, Vol. V, pp 2-3)
In March 2000, Stansted Manor could not be found and is probably no longer standing.
