��Hartswood in Buckland." In 1589 William Poyntz, brother-in-law and heir of Skinner, was lord of the manor ; 50 it afterwards passed to Richard Elyot of Al- bury, nephew, and in default of male heirs to Poyntz's son John, heir of the same John Skinner, 51 being the son of his sister Elizabeth. Richard died in 1608." The manor was afterwards held by his brother or uncle Thomas Elyot, 53 and in 1620 was, with the park, con- veyed by him and other members of this family to Sir William Garway." In 1632 it was held by Lionel Wright, who sold it in that year to John Hatt and Elizabeth his wife, receiving in the following year a ninety-nine-years' lease of the capital messuage and mansion house belonging to the manor." By 1653 it was in the possession of the family of Moore. M Susan daughter and heir of Thomas Moore, who died about 1676, married Robert Bristow." Af- ter her husband's death, she and trustees conveyed the manor in 1718 to Sir Wil- liam Scawen," in whose family it remained until 1781, when James Scawen sold it to Sir Merrick Burrell. 59 Sir Peter Burrell, great-nephew of Sir Merrick, inherited the latter's estates in 1787,* and sold the manor shortly afterwards to William Glutton." The property is still in this family. Mr. Ralph William Glutton is present owner.

The church of OUR LADY consists CHURCH of a chancel 2 2 ft. 2 in. by 19 ft. 6 in., small north transept or vestry 1 1 ft. by 9 ft., nave 44 ft. 6 in. by 2 1 ft. 8 in., and a south porch.

The church was rebuilt in 1860, and has no archi- tectural details earlier than this date, and all the fittings are modern. The walls are built of ironstone rubble, and the window tracery is of 14th-century style. The bells are hung in a shingled wood turret with a spire, rising above the roof at the west end of the nave, and supported on wooden posts from the floor.

In two of the windows is some old stained glass. The south-west window of the nave has a figure of St. Peter holding the two keys ; the head and keys, although old, have the appearance of being later than the rest of the figure ; the canopy work (with the name below) is generally modern, but has some old foliage in red and blue set in it ; the head of the canopy is apparently old. The other window at the north-east of the nave has the figure of St. Paul ; on this again the head and sword are less worn than the rest of the figure. There are six bells, all by Warner ; the three largest were recast in 1900 from three by William Eldridge dated 1681 ; the third is dated 1900, the second 1860, and the treble 1892.

��The plate was stolen in 1850, but a set was given to replace it by the then rector, Dr. Hulse, consisting of a cup and cover, a paten, a flagon, and two plates. There are also two silver candlesticks of 1691, a paten of 1894, two cruets of 1893, and a flagon of 1907. There is a note in the register mentioning the com- plete restoration of the church and rebuilding of the chancel in 1859-60, at a cost of 2,253.

The registers date from 1560, but are an i8th-cen- tury transcript. The first volume contains two books of unequal size in parchment bound together ; the first part has baptisms, marriages, and burials to 1667 with one baptism of 1675, and the second baptisms and burials to 1776 and marriages to 1753. The second book contains marriages from 175410 1812, and the third baptisms and burials from 1777 to 1812.

The Domesday Survey records the ADVQWSQN existence of a church at Buckland. From its foundation it belonged to the manor of Buckland, and was held with it as ' the church of the manor,' until 1567, the patronage being in the hands of the lord of the manor. 6 * When Lord Lumley conveyed the manor to Pelham and Dallender in 1567, however, he retained the advowson of the church, and was possessed of it at his death in i6c>9. 6S His heir was Henry Lloyd, son of his sister Barbara. 66 In 1628 Henry Lloyd alias Fludd held the advow- son. 67 Lloyd sold it to All Souls College, Oxford, for 335, on 18 February lo^g. 63 But in 1658 the Parliamentary Commissioners found that George Browne, lord of the manor, held the advowson. 69 Probably the royalist college had been deprived during the Civil War. In 1661 Lloyd had resumed possession, pre- sumably as a step in the re- storation of the advowson to the college, which held it in 1 674, and still holds.

In 1704 Laurence Denton left CHARITIES 3O/. a year rent from a meadow since called Poor's Land, for relief of poor not receiving parish relief. It is now worth 6 6s. a year. In 1733 Mr. John Brown, lord of the manor, left three acres for a similar purpose. This is now represented by a sum in consols. A Mr. William Cooke left 65 4*. \d. consols.

The above are all consolidated with Smith's charity, and applied for general purposes of medical relief, nursing, provident clubs, or temporary loans.

Smith's charity is distributed as in other Surrey parishes.
