4() The Society's MSS.—Chiseldon and Draycot. 
purposes of assessment, &c., as a hamlet of Chiseldon, to which it 
was, so far as a bishop of Salisbury could procure, ecclesiastically 
united, in the reign of Elizabeth. Manorially its affinities seem 
to have been with the Ogbournes, while the chief estate, long in 
the possession of a series of families the most distinguished in the 
English peerage, escheated apparently to the Crown in the fifteenth 
century. It is certain at any rate that a lease was made, 14th Feb., 
20 Hen. VIII. (1528-9), by the King to Thomas Webbe alias 
Richman, of the Manor of Draycote Foliat, parcel of ‘‘ Coperceoners 
landes,”’ co, Wilts, for twenty-one years at 7/. yearly rent, and 
6s. 8d. increase (Cal. Letters and Papers, Hen. 8). Similarly the 
manor of Highall, in Walthamstow, “parcel of Coopercioners 
lands,” was leased to Sir Ralph Sadleir (Pat. Roll 32 Hen. 8, 
part 8, m. 10), and a toll within the manor or lordship of 
Tywarnayle Tes, co. Cornw., “ parcel of lands called Coparcioners 
lands” was leased to John Grenefeld (Pat. 32Hen. 8, part 6, m. 
42). In vol. xii., part ii: of the calendar above referred to (No. 
191, 6, 8) we find a more explicit allusion to “ possessions of 
Eleanor, late duchess of Somerset, now called Copercioners lands,”’ 
and we may venture to conclude that the “ coparcioners,” or joint 
owners, in question were the issue of the said Eleanor (see Rolls of 
Parlt. vi. 454. d), or, possibly, the issue of herself, and of her sisters, 
the daughters of Richard Beauchamp, earl of Warwick, by his wife 
Elizabeth, lady de Lisle. This Elizabeth, lady de Lisle, was the 
heiress of Thomas, lord Berkeley, by his wife, Margaret, heiress of 
Warine de Lisle, grandson of another Warine de Lisle, by his wife, 
Alice, sister and heiress of Henry, lord Teyes, or Tyeys. 
The manor of Tywarnayle Tyes we have already heard of as 
“parcel of Coparcioners lands, and it appears by the Calendar 
(Record Commission) of Inquisitions Post Mortem, &c., that Henry 
Tyeys was seised (17 Edw. 2, No. 24) of messuages and tenements 
in Draycote Folyot; that Warin de Insula and Margaret (Pipard) 
his wife were seized (6 Rich. 2, No. 47) of a moiety of the manor ~ 
of Draycote; that Ann, late the wife of Gerard Lisle, was seised 
(13 Hen. 4, No. 41) of the manor of Draycote Foliot ; and, finally 
that Eleanor, duchess of Somerset, was seised (7 Edw. 4, No. 20)
