Referring to the National Archives Manorial Document Register, the manorial rolls for the parish of Kenton list only the Manor of Kenton with Suddon Hall (as noted above)
<http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/results/c?_sf=textstman&_tn=kenton&_ocn=Suffolk&_naet=M&_st=mdrc>
and lists just one document reference held at Ipswich Record Office, this being HD64/1/11. Having now accessed this, it consists of several sheets of velum rolled tight and all in Latin, except that the details are well set out, and I was able to make out the names of the persons listed sitting to hear the Court, and some of these name John FENN.
This name was seen on four of the sheets with the following dates:-
1659 - John Fenn, John Fenn
1669 - John Fenn
1676 - John Fenn Sen, John Fenn Jun
1677 - John Fenn
Two other manorial documents for Kenton are listed on the MDR :-
