The First Lord West was Sir Thomas West, of Oakhanger, Northampton. He married the heiress Joan De la Warr, through whom his second son eventually became Baron De La Warr.

At this point, the precise legal situation becomes debatable. As Cockayne points out, abeyance is a modern rule that approximates medieval practice, rather than a period doctrine. Applying the modern rule, both titles descend to heirs general, which left them in abeyance between the daughters of Sir Owen West, and this situation persists to the present day with their respective heirs.

In 1572, the heir male and nephew of the co-heirs general was created Baron De la Warr, but not Baron West, by letters patent. Depending on one's view of the law, this can viewed as either a settlement of the ancient Barony of De la Warr or a genuine new creation that extinguished the old barony. Cockayne argues that there is no reason to assume that this changed the status of the West title, but given the irregular practice used, it is just conceivable that a modern claimant to West would be refused on the basis that the title was merged into De la Warr along with the estates.
