parentage of Elizabeth Dukett. It is conceivable that she was 

 sister of Elizabeth, the wife of Eichard Pile, more probably she 

 was that lady's niece, but in any case, and in some fashion, we 

 must suppose that she represented one-third of the families and 

 inheritances of Home, Fraine and Bernard. 



Again the curtain falls, but twenty years later we find one 

 Owen Dukett, a son or other representative of Eobert Dukett, no 

 doubt, selling what is now described as " the manor of Bubbeton," 

 not a third part of the manor, to Thomas Pile, whom we may 

 identify as Thomas the grandson of Eichard Pile and Elizabeth 

 Horn, his wife. The reduction of acreage between the first and 

 second of these transactions is accounted for sufficiently by the 

 fact that whereas Eobert and Elizabeth Dukett are dealing with 

 the manors of Bupton and " Barnardys," what Owen sells by the 

 fine which follows is (a third of) the manor of Bupton only :— 



April 1550. Final concord in the quinzaine of Easter, 4 Edward 6, between 

 Thomas Pyle querent and Owin Dukett and Winifred his wife deforciants of 

 the manor of Bubbeton, and of six messuages, four cottages, four tofts, 

 100a. land, 40a. meadow, 100a pasture, 6a. wood, 30a. marsh, 26*. %d. rent_ 

 in ClevePepperd, Eadborne, Erode Town, Yattesburye and Thornyll. Owin 

 and Winifred acknowledged the said manor and tenements to be the right of 

 Thomas, as those which he has by their gift, and released and quitclaimed 

 them from them, Owin and Winifred, and the heirs of Owin, to Thomas and 

 his heirs for ever ; further they have granted for themselves and the heirs of 

 Winifred, that they will warrant the said manor and tenements to the said 

 Thomas and his heirs for ever. 



For this Thomas has given the said Owin and Winnifred 160^ 



Upon our theory two-thirds of the Fraine-Horne manor of 

 Bupton were now reunited in the family of Pile, one third coming 

 by descent, the other third acquired by purchase from Duckett. 

 The remaining third we left in possession of John Goddard, by 

 purchase from Dauntsey. That was in 1531. It continued in the 

 Goddard family for the following seventy years. Thomas Goddard 

 leased it (No. 20) to William Goddard in 1594. This lease was 

 assigned (No. 28) by Francis Goddard and Thomas Goddard of 

 Bupton to Thomas Goddard of Standen Hussey in July, 1601, 

 with a view, doubtless, to the sale of the freehold in August 

 following (Nos. 29—33) to Gabriel Pile, when, upon our theory, the
