 A HISTORY OF SURREY

���proved in September 1765, devised Burstow to his cousin James Harris, with remainder to the latter's sons, and in default of such to Mrs. Bridget Hand, sister of James Harris, and her sons in turn.' 6 By 1779 the ni.anor was in possession of Christopher, the elder fon." After his death the second son James b'ecame lord, and held as late as iSoS. 38 Thongs Bainbridge, who died in 1830, is described as/3't' Burstow,* 9 and his son John Hugh Bainbridge 'was lord of the manor in 1 84 1. 40 He sold it before his death in 1877, for in 1870, and as late as 1887, Henry Kelsey of Burstow Park was lord of the manor. It was sold in 1888 by Mr. Kelsey's executors to Mr. Alfred Howard Lloyd, who holds at present.

In 1 247 a grant of free warren was made to the lord of the manor and his heirs; at the same time he also received a grant of a weekly market on Tuesdays and an annual fair to be held on the vigil, feast, and morrow of St. Michael."

In 1329 Roger son of Roger atte Logge of Burstow granted to Roger son of Ralph Salaman lands and tenements in Burstow, Nutfield, and Horley, consisting of a messuage, 3 60 acres of land, 1 2 acres of meadow, I o acres of wood, and zos. rent, part of which formed the dower of Agnes wife of Roger atte Logge." These are evidently the lands and tenements called ' La Logge ' of which Roger Salaman died seised in 1343," and which were afterwards known as the manor of LODGE or BURSTOW LODGE. Roger Salaman held of John de Burstow, lord of the manor of Burstow, by service of z6s. and suit of court. 44 His son Roger left a daughter and heir, who married Thomas Codyngton of Codyngton 45 and brought the manor to this family, though it evidently passed to a different branch afterwards, as Thomjas Codyngton left an only child Rose, married to John Jordan of Gatwick, who does not appear to have held the manor. According to Manning a settlement was made by which, in default probably of male heirs to Codyngton, the manor passed to another Thomas Codyngton, a goldsmith in London. 46 In 1470 Margaret widow of Thomas Codyngton quitclaimed to her son John Codyngton ' the manor called le Logge ' in Surrey. 4 ' He held a court as late as 1 49 1 -2. 48 In 1538 the manor was held by Richard St. Myghell alias Codyngton. 49 It is probable that the manor had passed to an heiress, perhaps Elizabeth Cornwayles, who is said to have held a court in 1511, and whose son by a second husband, or perhaps her grandson, Richard St. Myghell, on inheriting his mother's lands, took her maiden name in addition to his own.

In 1538 Richard St. Myghell alias Codyngton and

��Elizabeth his wife enfeoffed Thomas Fromond of the manor; " he held it of Sir John Gage of Burstow for rent of 39*. 8^., and died in 1542, leaving a son Bartholomew," who was in turn succeeded by his son William and grandson Bartholomew. 53 The latter died before 1652, by which date his widow had married again, her second husband being William Howard, who held the manor for some years. 54 After the death of William and Elizabeth the manor passed to Mary daughter and co-heir of Bartholomew Fromond and Elizabeth, who had married Richard Walmesley." Catherine, granddaughter of Richard and Mary and sole heir to her father Bartholomew Walmesley, who died in 1701 and whose son died in infancy, married Robert, Lord Petre, 56 and held the manor in her own right." She lived until 1788," but before that time she had vested the manor in her grandson and heir Robert Edward, ninth Lord Petre, as in 1785 he joined with his son Robert Edward in conveying it to Melancthon Saunders, 5 ' who was a representative of the younger branch of the Sanders of Charlwood. 60 He held it in 1 808." It now no longer exists as a manor.

Land in Burstow called BURSTOW PARK be- longedatan early date to the Archbishops of Canterbury, to whose manor of Wimbledon it was attached. 6 * In the early 1 3th century reference is made to land in Burstow ' lying to the south of the park of H. Arch- bishop of Canterbury,' the reference evidently being to Hubert, who was archbishop until 1 205.**

During the vacancy of this see in the time of Edward I or Edward II an account of 5 is. 7</. was rendered for the sale of three oaks and ashes in the archbishop's park of Bur- stow. 64 In 1328 a commis- sion was issued against evil- doers who had entered the parks of the archbishop's ' manors ' of Croydon, Wim- bledon, Burstow, Wyke, &c. 63

In 1531 Burstow Park was leased to Sir John Gage of Bur- stow for a term of eighty years at an annual rent of ll, 'the deer therein being reserved to the Archbishop of Canterbury until the following Christmas.' " In 1 5 36 the archbishop made an exchange of lands with the king, the latter receiv- ing, among other lands, the manor of Wimbledon and all parcels and members of the said manor. 67 The king
