Husband of Alice de Tony, the daughter of Roger de Toeni and Alice de Bohun. Alice's maritagium included the manor of East Coulson, Wiltshire, which had been part of her mother's maritagium. They were married about 1269, the date of their marriage settlement, and had six sons and four daughters:

Walter sought its return from the crown in 1266, and purchased half the manor for £100 to hold for Reynold and his heirs, and received a grant for an annual faire in 1292. Walter's father bequeathed him £200 specifically for a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
