 A HISTORY OF SURREY

��On the south face of the transept and chapel wall is the mark of the barrel-vault of the passage to the cemetery, 1 2 ft. wide, part of the east wall of which j remains : the gable line of the dorter range also shows on the transept wall, but except for this all traces of the priory buildings have disappeared.

The north transept has entirely gone, and the only part left on that side is the north chapel to the east of the transept ; of this much of the three outer walls still stands, but they possess no details of note.

The only part of the nave still left is a length of the south aisle wall, and this has now fallen ; the toothings where it came against the transept wall remain in place, but for a space of 24 ft. the wall is missing, the remaining portion running thence west- ward for 34ft. On the transept wall are the marks of the lean-to roof of the aisle ; it cuts across the north-west lancet window to the transept.

The dimensions of the church were : Presbytery, 43 ft. by 246. 4 in. ; quire, 40 ft. by 26 ft. ; north and south transepts, 30 ft. deep by 25ft. 4 in. wide ; north-east chapel off the south transept and south-east chapel off the north transept, 26ft. by I o ft. 6 in., the other two chapels 1 2 ft. by I o ft. 6 in. ; nave length uncertain, width probably that of the quire, and south aisle 1 2 ft. wide.

In the south transept lies a heavy 14th-century cross slab of very rough work, being made of the intractable crystalline stone which occurs in isolated blocks in various parts of the county and elsewhere.

The so-called manor of PAPWORTH (Pappeworth, xiv cent.) may have been the holding of Walter or of Hubert in 1086. In 1271 Ruald de Calva granted the 'hamene of Papworth' to Newark Priory." The priory granted it to the Westons of West Clandon, for in 1331 William de Weston had land in Send," and in 1363 Margery widow of William de Weston died seised of a ' tenement called Papworth,' which she held of Newark."

Papworth followed the descent of West Clandon Manor (q.v.) until the beginning of the I yth century, when Edmund Slyfield, lord of West Clandon, conveyed it to Henry Weston of Ockham." The Westons held it until 1711, when John Weston sold it with Ockham to Sir Peter King." Early in the i gth century Lord King, a descendant of Sir Peter, exchanged it with Lord Onslow for the manor of Wisley."

The reputed manor of DEDSffELL (Dodswell, Dadswell, xvi cent.), possibly the other small holding of Domesday, received its name as land held of John de Tregoz by John de Dedeswell for the service of one- third of two knights' fees. 1 * This service was in 1290 granted by John de Tregoz to the Prior of Newark."

In 1351 Thomas de Weston of Albury married Joan daughter and heiress of John Dedswell of Send. 4 ' This Thomas was of a younger branch of the Westons of Send. At the death of William de Weston without issue in 1485 4I Dedswell passed to his sister Margaret,

��who married first William Welles of Buxted in Sussex and second John Appesley. She died in 1512 leaving a son and heir John Welles." In 1539 Thomas Welles son of John conveyed the manor to Sir Richard Weston of Sutton in Woking. 43 It remained with the Westons of Sutton until 1 66 1, when John Weston conveyed it to Arthur Onslow. 44 The Ons- low family has retained possession until the present day.

The reputed manor of JURT~in Send is mentioned among the lands lately belonging to Newark Priory which were granted to Sir Anthony Browne at the Dissolution. 44 Probably it represents the grant of a messuage with I oo acres of land made to the Prior and convent of Newark in 1331 by William Diry, " whose name was apparently attached to the holding, and became corrupted into Jury in process of time. This tenement descended with the manor of Send.

The Domesday Survey of Send (q.v.) mentions a mill, which in the 1 3th century appeared as a water- mill in the possession of Thomas and Alice de Send. 47 This mill, which they granted to the priory, was Newark Mill. The grant to Sir Anthony Browne (q.v.) mentions a mill in Ripley which may refer to the same. There was another mill on one of the smaller holdings.

The church of ST. MART THE CHURCHES riRGIN, SEND, is a small building consisting of a chancel 1 7 ft. 6 in. by 24ft. 9 in. and an aisleless nave 38 ft. 3 in. by 31 ft. 2 in. with a west tower I oft. by 9 ft. 3 in., and a south porch.

The chancel seems to have been built about the year 1240, and is the oldest part of the church. The whole nave was rebuilt late in the I4th century, being unusually wide for its length, and the tower was added somewhat later. The south porch, xvhich is of timber, was probably added late in the 1 5th century, and the church was restored in 1847.

The east window of the chancel was inserted appa- rently in old jambs in 1 8 1 9. It has three cinque- foiled lights and tracery of a curious semi-gothic character in a two-centred head. The north wall of the chancel has two original lancets, the eastern- most one having chamfered and rebated jambs and the other plain rebated jambs.

In the south wall are two lancets of 1 3th-century date like those in the opposite wall, the easternmost one in this case having unchamfered jambs, while all have external shafts. At the west end of this wall is a small coeval low side window.

Near the east end of the north wall of the chancel is a plain projecting corbel, which was probably intended to support a figure. Opposite this in the south wall is a piscina with stop-chamfered jambs and pointed head. The basin was circular, but the pro- jecting portion has been lopped off. Between the first and second windows of the south wall is a small 13th-century priest's doorway which has chamfered jambs of sandstone, and a four-centred head. The ashlar elsewhere, except in some of the lower quoins,
