In 1396, a licence was obtained by Sir John
Savile, Thomas's son-in-law, to found a chantry at Elland
church to pray for (among others) Thomas de Eland
and Joan his wife, parents of John's
wife Isabella.
Circumstantial evidence suggests that Thomas and his son were
killed in late 1353 or 1354, by Adam Beaumont, Thomas
son of Thomas de Lacy of Cromwellbottom, William de
Lockwood and others.
Unfortunately the records of the Brighouse Tourn, Wakefield Manor
Rolls, for the year 1353 have been lost.
The story goes that Sir John Eland was riding home from the
Sheriff's Tourn in 1353, when he was ambushed and killed by the above
three men, and others at Lane Head, Brighouse.
They then fled the area but returned some months later and
killed Thomas de Eland and his son, at Elland.
There has been debate over this as some accounts say that they came
back and killed a young Sir John Eland and his son.
There has also been debate as to whether the events ever occurred, or
it was only a myth.

Horsfall Turner reports that Mr Paley Baildon and Mr
H. J. Barber found an
of the event in a manuscript at the Record Office, London.
This stated that
At York Castle delivery in 1355, John de Shelley was tried and
found not guilty having been seized by order of the sheriff
because he received at Brighouse William de Lockwood, Adam Beaumont
and others who had feloniously slain John de Elland, knight, knowing
of the commission of the felony
