 HISTORY OF SURREY

��Gloucester, and the other moiety was held by Mary de Wintershull. 8 In 1317 the Wintershull moiety of the manor was said to be held of Nicholas de Sey- mour," while in 1328 Thomas de Seymour, son of Nicholas, was declared to be intermediate lord between the heir of the Wintershulls and the Earl of Gloucester. 10 Mary de Wintershull died seised of this moiety in 1317."

She left, as heirs, her sister Paulina de Hegham and the two daughters of Nathania de Ralegh, another sister, Joan wife of Ralph de Ditton, and Margaret." In the next year Ralph, Joan, and Margaret joined in conveying their portion to Paulina, 13 who thus became seised of the whole moiety. She died in 1328 leaving as her heir her son Roger de Hegham. 14 She held of Thomas de Seymour, who held of the Earl of Glouces- ter as of the honour of Camberwell. When Hugh Audley, Earl of Gloucester, died in 1 347, both moieties of Worplesdon, the Wintershull and Wykford parts, were still held of him. But in 1372 when Ralph Stafford, husband of Audley's daughter, died, there is no mention of Worplesdon among his lands." The Wykford portion was conveyed to the Crown in 1 363, 16 and the other half was probably also acquired at some time by the Crown, for the king's steward held a court for the whole manor in 1366."

In 1387 John Worship, yeoman of the king's cup- house, had a grant of the manor, 18 but only for life. 19 In 1453 it was granted to Jasper, Earl of Pembroke, later Duke of Bedford.* He was attainted by Ed- ward IV, and in 1474 it was granted to the Duke of Clarence ' for the better maintenance of his estate." 1 The Duke of Bedford was restored by Henry VII, but died without heirs in 1495. It was granted for life to Antony Browne in 1523," and in 1570 his son, the first Lord Montagu, was made steward of the manor by the queen." In 1623 a lease was granted to John Murray, Lord Annandale, for three lives." He probably sold his interest to Charles Harbord, who had a grant for three lives in 1631." In 1653 a court was held by Sir Charles Harbord, in 1665 by William Harbord. In 1668 John Payne of Hurt- more granted a moiety of the manor of Worplesdon to Thomas Newton of Stoke next Guildford for $io, having already sold him the other half.* 5 Thomas Newton held a court in 1670. In 1681 it was bought by Richard Onslow, in whose family it has remained.

The history of the other half previous to 1363 remains to be traced." In 1 296 Thomas de Wykford granted a moiety of Worplesdon Manor to Margery widow of John de Wykford, to hold for life." Roland de Wykford, possibly son of Thomas, was holding in

��I3I4-' 5 In 1347 Roland de Wykford granted the annual rent of I o marks from his lands in Worplesdon to Robert de Wykford, 30 who in 1363 conveyed his manor of Worplesdon to the Crown. 31

The family of Wykford had the rights of view of frankpledge and assize of bread and ale in Wor- plesdon. 3 '

The manor of BURGH4M (Borham, xi cent. ; Burpham, xvi cent.) in Worplesdon was at the time of the Survey held by Turald 33 of Earl Roger.

At the time of the Testa de Nevill Thurstan le Dispenser was holding a knight's fee in Burgham as of the honour of Gloucester, 34 and in 1276 Adam le Dispenser, presumably Thurstan's heir, released Burgham Manor to William de Wintershull and * Beatrice his wife.'* In 1314, at the death of the Earl of Gloucester, John de Winters- hull, son of William and Beatrice, was holding Burg- ham. 3 * John perhaps died with- out issue," for the manor passed to his cousin Thomas, who died seised of it in 1 340." Burgham was assigned as dower to Alice widow of Thomas Wintershull, 39 who, a few years after her husband's death, be- came the wife of Henry de Loxley. 40 At her death in 1385 the manor passed to her second son Thomas de Wintershull, her eldest son William having pre- deceased her, and he died seised of it in 1388, leaving a son and heir Thomas." The younger Thomas died in 1400 and was succeeded by his son Thomas," who, however, left no issue, and the manor passed at his death in 1420 to his sister Agnes wife of Wil- liam Bassett. She was in possession of it in 1436," when she conveyed Burgham to trustees, probably in favour of the male heir of the Wintershull family, for Thomas Wintershull died seised of it in 1477, leaving Robert his son and heir. 44 It returned, how- ever, to the Bassetts, for Richard Bassett died seised in 1 509, leaving a son and heir Thomas then twelve years old. 45 Apparently Thomas died without issue, for at the death of Juliana widow of Richard in 1533 her heir was found to be her daughter Joan wife of Richard Unwyn, then twenty-nine years old. 46 In 1548 a certain Sir Anthony Windsor and his wife Joan were seised of the manor in Joan's right ; " so that probably Sir Anthony was Joan Bassett's second husband. In 15 66 Anthony Windsor, son of Joan and Anthony, died seised of the manor, leaving a son and heir Edmund, who was about four years old at
