 A HISTORY OF SURREY

��Leigh of Addington, 46 to avoid making sale ' of any lands of his more ancient inheritance.' This convey- ance was probably in trust, for in the same year it was acquired by George Evelyn of Wotton. 46 The whole manor is still in the possession of the Evelyn family. 47

The Domesday entry for PADDINGTON (Patis- dene, Patinden, xii cent. ; Padyngden, xvi cent.), afterwards known as PADDINGTON PEMBROKE, states that William Fitz-Ansculf then held it, and that a huscarle had held it of King Edward. 48 The over- lordship passed, as in the case of Abinger, with the honour of Dudley. 49

The first notice of immediate lords of the manor occurs in 1188, when William Buffere 50 paid seven pounds fourteen shillings towards the ferm of Paddington. William Buffere gave shelter to a certain outlaw named Avice Wylekin, which occasioned the forfeiture of his lands to the Crown. 51 A grant was then made to Alan Trencher- man, lord of Gomshall, who is described as holding the 'vill' of Paddington ;** his tenure marks the beginning of a close connexion which apparently existed between a portion of Paddington and the manor of Gomshall. At Alan's death Paddington reverted to the Crown, and was then granted to William de Braose, 58 who fell under King John's dis- pleasure, and had to flee from England. He died

��abroad, and his wife and son were put to death by order of King John." Paddington meanwhile was granted to Peter de Maulay," but afterwards Giles, Bishop of Hereford, a younger son of William de Braose, succeeded in recovering it. 66 Reginald, bro- ther of Giles, was the next lord ; he was succeeded by his son William," who met his death in the Welsh wars. Paddington then passed to Eva, daughter of William de Braose, who had married Wil- liam de Cantlow," and on the death of her son George without issue the manor passed to John, son of his sister Joan by Henry de Hast- ings. 59 John de Hastings died seised in 1325, leaving a son and heir Lawrence. 60 Part of the manor seems to have been leased by Law- rence to his nephew, William de Hastings, whose tenure was probably, by the date of his death, ended by the Black Death of 1 349. The inquisition on his death is among the many evidences of the severity of the visitation, for it records that almost all the tenants were then dead. 61 John son and heir of Lawrence committed Paddington to the charge of trustees, who apparently held it for
