GREAT FOSTERS, EGHAM. (See 4 S. i- 504; 10 S. xii. 510.) More than forty years ago Dr. FURNIVALL called attention in ' N. & Q.' to this fine Elizabethan man- sion. He gave a long extract from an interesting letter written by Albert Way to- the then owner, Col. Halkett, respecting the very fine ceilings and the mystery as ta their origin. DR. FURNIVALL also com- mented on the scanty notice vouchsafed to the house by the various county historians. Brayley tells us (vol. ii. p. 264) that the house- takes its name from the family of Foster, C.J., who held it in the latter part of the seventeenth century. This, however, is an error : it was known as Fosters long before. In a survey of the manor, 1, 2, 3 Ed. VI., Land Rev., Mis. Books, vol. 190 at P. R. O., we find Hugh Warham holding " a tenement formerly Adam de Foster." A year or two- later, in the Feet of Fines 4 Ed. VI., 1 550-5 1,. we have a fine between William, son of Hugh Warham, and Richard Pexalls and others, respecting the " manor of Imworthe alias Fosters." A still earlier reference in the Manor Court Rolls, A.D. 1520, refers to " land called Fosters."
