��PUTTENHAM

��Heath, opened in 1882. The schools were built in 1850.

There are four manors or reputed

MANORS manors in Puttenham; Puttenham Bury

and Puttenham Priory moieties of one

manor, Rodsell and Shoelands. Of these Rodsell

alone is mentioned in the Domesday Survey.

The main manor of PUTTENH4M was a member of the manor of Bramley in Blackheath Hundred. 1 It is uncertain whether it was included with Rodsell in 1086 or whether the ' two manors' of Wanborough recorded in Domesday were Wanborough and Putten- ham, or whether it was included in Bramley. It seems to have followed the history of Bramley, for it was in the king's hands in the 1 2th century, since, c. 1199, Geoffrey Bocumton exchanged 15 librates of land, which he had had in Puttenham by the king's gift, for 1 2 librates of land in Stoke by Guildford. 1 The lands of Ralph de Fay, lord of Bramley under Henry II, were in 1203 granted to Robert de Barevill.' Robert was sued for land in Puttenham by Geoffrey de Roinges before the time of this grant, 4 and evidently esta- blished his rights, for in 1 22 1 the king gave Robert de Barevill ten oaks towards the mcndingand rebuild- ing of his houses in Puttenham. 6 Ralph de Fay's lands were restored and descend- ed to his son Ralph,' who was succeeded by John de Fay, his son, in 1223.' At John's death his lands were divided between his two sisters, Maud wife of Roger de Clere and Philippa Neville. 8 Puttenham, however, had been assigned to Ralph de Fay's widow Beatrice,

in dower. It was seized in 1241 owing to her excommunication, but restored in 1242. It was again taken into the king's hands in 1 246.' Putten- ham was then divided between the two sisters, Philippa and Maud. Philippa's moiety was afterwards called Puttenham Bury, while her sister's portion became the manor of Puttenham Priory.

Philippa Neville gave PUTTENH4M BURY with Bramley in free marriage with her daughter Beatrice to William of Wintershull. 10 For the next 300 years Puttenham Bury and Bramley followed the descent which is given under Bramley. 11 In

��1541 Edmund Pope, a lineal descendant of Wil- liam of Wintershull and his wife Beatrice, sold both manors. 11 Bury was purchased in 1541 by Robert Lusher of Cheam and his wife Elizabeth, who also bought Puttenham Priory in 1 544." His father Thomas was holding Shoelands, but Robert predeceased him, dying in 1545." His widow Elizabeth, aunt of Sir Olliph Leigh (see below), married George Beaumont," and retained for life an allowance out of Puttenham Bury Manor, 16 and the whole of Puttenham Priory, 17 which she leased to her son Thomas Beau- mont in 1587."* Robert's son, Nicholas Lusher, died 26 May 1566, leaving an infant son Nicholas. 19 His lands were therefore taken into the queen's hands during the minority of the heir. She leased the de- mesne lands of Puttenham Bury and Shoelands to Mary, Nicholas Lusher's widow. In 1 6 1 o Nicholas, son and heir of Nicholas Lusher, and his son Richard sold the two manors 'of Puttenham and the manor of Shoelands to Sir Olliph Leigh of Addington and his brother Sir John Leigh." Sir Olliph died 1612.

���PUTTENHAM COMMON, LOOKING TO HINDHEAD

��His son Sir Francis and the latter's uncle Sir John held the estates in coparceny, and demised a part of Shoelands to one Nicholas Harding. They then divided them, Sir John taking the two Puttenhams, and Sir Francis Shoelands. On Sir John's death in 1624, Sir Francis took the whole. 2 ' Sir Francis Leigh, having married Elizabeth daughter and heir of William Minterne of Thorpe, conveyed the manor of Puttenham Bury in 1625 to his father-in-law for life, with reversion to his younger son Francis Leigh, and failing his male issue to his elder son Wolley Leigh, later an ardent Royalist.
