William Fitz William of Emley, a Saxon like William Fitz Adam de Bretton was near neighbour to the Brettons (Beaumonts) of Whitley.

Agbrig & Morley Wapentake, Hallifax, 2 Apr. a 1666 by Sir William Dugdal

The line of Beaumont’s at or near Huddersfield commenced with William de Beaumont’ of 1200 who as William Fitz Adam received the gift of, or was confirmed in land at Kexborough by Roger de Montbegan. This land may be included in “all other places” when William de Bretton was selling land to the Dronsfields. Roger de Montbegan’s son, John, enfeoffed the second William de Beaumont in land at Whitley. In 1218, this William was called upon to defend his claim to land in Quarmby which had been given to his father: it is said that this second William Beaumont married Alice de Quarmby. The third William de Beaumont had by Elizabeth NN, who was a widow in 1294, four sons, William, Richard, John and Adam: The third son as John de Beaumont was living in Lepton in 1297, The eldest son, the fourth William de Beaumont, most probably married the daughter and heir of Richard of Foss Crosland, as he was in possession of property at Crosland in 1294-95. (The first brettons)

There was no doubt also a residence of the Beaumont family in the Township of Almondbury, at "Hall Bower," near Newsome, on the north side of Castle Hill.  Church of Almondbury, Yorkshire. " Some remains of the old Church are still to be seen in the walls of both the North and South sides of the chancel, and which was most probably built by the Lacies, Tyases and Beaumonts, and their tenants, about the year 1100. The present Church was finished in 1522. There is a Chantry or Choir in the North end, belonging to the Earl of Dartmouth, and one other on the South side belonging to R. H. Beaumont, Esq., of Whitley Hall, in right of his house called Crosland Hall." (http://wvancestry.com/ReferenceMaterial/Files/Annals_of_the_Church_and_Parish_of_Almondbury_Yorkshire_England.pdf)
