 REIGATE HUNDRED

��NUTFIELD

��William Charde and Elizabeth his wife, descendants of Ann Tropenell, held a moiety of the site and capital messuage of Nutfield in I557- 87 According to Manning and Bray, using Mr. Glover's deeds, 58 it passed to a daughter of William Best above named, Mary wife of Richard Jewell. He left a son John, whose son, also John, married Mary Tyler and died without issue. She married Anthony Aynscomb, see above. It is now the property of Mr. J. T. Charlesworth.

The family of Hadresham or Hedresham was settled in Nutfield at the end of the izth century, their lands there being afterwards known as the manor or reputed manor of HATHERSHAM. In the reign of Richard I Hubert de Anestie granted a wood in Nutfield called Widihorn to John de Hadresham and his heirs, 89 and about the same time John also received a grant of a mill there, the names of Robert and Peter de Hadresham appearing among the witnesses to this deed. 90 In 1271-2 Peter de Caterham and Alice his wife quitclaimed 6 acres of land in Nutfield to Bartholomew de Hadresham, 91 and in 1316 John, son of James de Hadresham, received a grant of a meadow there called Merchauntesmead." In 1358 John de Hadresham died seised of a tenement in Nutfield, held of the chief manor, consisting of a capital messuage, 60 acres of land of which 20 could be cultivated, 4 acres of meadow, 20 of pasture, and 10 of wood. The tenement was said to be worth 23*. per annum. 9 * The same amount was paid in the 1 7th century as the annual rent of the manor of Hathersham. 94 John left a son and heir, William de Hadresham. 9 * The lands afterwards passed to the Asshurst family. William Asshurst held land in Nutfield in the early I Jth century, 96 and in 1507 John Asshurst, son of William, died seised, among other lands, of the ' manor of Hadresham ' ; he left no issue. 97 Agnes, widow of John Asshurst, afterwards married John Skinner, 98 and seems to have brought this land to his family. Sir Thomas Wyatt the poet held the manor in 1 538," but he was possibly a trustee, his father, Sir Henry Wyatt, having acted as such for John Skinner and Agnes in the conveyance of property which they held in East Betch worth. 100 In 1556 the manor of Hathersham was held by James Skinner and Margaret his wife, 101 and on James's death without issue in 1558 passed to the family of his brother. 101 John Skinner, nephew of James according to the inquisition taken at his death, died seised of the manor in I584. 101 Richard Elyot of Albury was a nephew and heir. 104

��In 1603 Richard and Thomas Elyot conveyed the manor of Hathersham to Henry Drake and Charles Evans, 104 Sir Thomas Palmer and Alice his wife, widow of John Skinner, surrendering their claim. 106 Drake and Evans seem to have divided the manor, as in 1609 Drake died seised of a moiety, 107 which his son Edward conveyed to Richard Killick in i6l4, 108 and in 1616 it passed from Killick to Henry Shove. 109 Shove apparently acquired the other moiety also, as his family afterwards held the entire manor, of which they retained possession until the latter part of the 1 8th century. 110 It was held in 1768 by Henry Shove and Ann his wife. 111 According to Manning, Shove died in 1771, when, by the terms of his will, Hathersham was sold, becoming the property of Robert Smith. 1 " In 1790-1 Robert Smith the son and Elizabeth his wife sold to Sir Sampson Wright, 1 " whose widow, Lady Wright, held the property in 1808."* It passed after her death to Mr. S. Simms. 114 It is now held as a farm.

In 1 3 50 Thomas de Wolbergh died seised of a tene- ment in Nutfield which he held of the lord of Nut- field for the service of 3 3/. <)J. U> His son, John de Wolbergh, was witness to a deed in I359- 117 In 1364 Cecily de Beauchamp held five acres of meadow in Nutfield of John de Wolbergh. 118 In 1463 William Sydney died seised of the manor of WOL- BERGH leaving two daughters and co-heirs, Elizabeth afterwards wife of John Hampden, and Anne, after- wards wife of William Uvedale. 119 The Uvedale moiety remained in this family until after 1528."

In 1572 the whole manor was held by William Jeale. 111 In 1602 William and Ovington Jeale, prob- ably sons of the first William, conveyed to George Evelyn, 1 *' who settled Wolbergh shortly after on his daughter Katherine on her marriage with Thomas Stoughton. 1 Stoughton, who survived his wife, died in 1 6 1 1 seised of the ' manor or farm of Woolboro,' George Stoughton, his brother, being his heir. 1 "

The latter conveyed the manor in 1623 to John Turner, 114 from whom it passed to Thomas Turner of Nutfield. The latter by will of 1671 left 'the messuage, &c., containing 1 60 acres in Nutfield in occupation of Anne Barnes called Woolborough,' to his nephew Thomas Turner. 116 The latter, according to Manning, conveyed in 1685 to William Barnes, whose son conveyed to William Lukyn in IJ22. 1 * 7

From Thomas and Robert Lukyn the property passed, in 1 740, to Helen Shelley, 118 daughter of Ro- bert Bysshe, wife of John Shelley, and grandmother of Sir Bysshe Shelley, who died in i8i5. 119 He was
