Bupton, after all the holdings of Home, or Quintin, or Pile are 

 reckoned. 



Then there is the purchase by Brunker of a small parcel of 

 land, &c., of which the prior history is not known :— 



3 Nov., 1535. Final concord, the morrow of Souls, 27 Henry 8, between 

 Henry Brunker, querent, and Simon Bacon and Margaret, his wife, de- 

 forciants, of 20a. land, 20a. meadow, and 20a. pasture, in Bubton, Cleve- 

 pypard, Cotemarshe, and Thornhill. Simon and Margaret have acknowledged 

 the tenements to be the right of Henry as those which he has by their gift, 

 and released and quitclaimed them, from them and their heirs, to Henry and 

 his heirs for ever, and they have granted for them and the heirs of Simon 

 that they will warrant the tenements to Henry and his heirs against all men. 

 For this he has given them 401. 



Next we have some notes of a small parcel of twelve acres of 

 meadow in Bupton, held, in 1346, of John de Bubbeton, together 

 with a small cottage and 40«. land in Barwick Bassett, the ad- 

 joining parish on the south, held of Gilbert de Berewyk, which 

 together had formed part of the estate of Hugh Despenser. William 

 de Beauver applies for a grant of this property from the crown, 

 and an inquisition full of points of interest was taken locally as to 

 its nature, &c. 



The first notice of this small estate seems to be an entry on the 

 originalia roll, 18 Edw. 3, No. 9 (1344) to the effect that the 

 King has committed to the keeping of his yeoman (valetto) William 

 de Beauver a messuage, 40a. land and 12«. meadow in Berewyk 

 and Bobbeton, co. Wilts, which came to the King's hands by the 

 forfeiture of Hugh le Despenser, earl of Winchester, to hold to 

 the end of ten years at 22s. rent. In 20 Edw. 3, as appears by 

 the originalia roll for that year, Nos. 6 and 14, the King, at the 

 supplication of William de Beauver committed to William de 

 Farle the keeping of the land, &c., as described above, for the 

 same term at the same rent. The desire of William de Beauver 

 to be rid of his bargain is explicable in the light of the findings 

 of the jury, referred to above, which follow : — 



Edwardus (&c.) dilecto et fideli suo Johanni de Roches, escaetori suo in 

 comitatu Wiltes'. Supplicavit nobis WiUelmus de Beauver ut cum nos nuper 

 unum mesuagium (&c.) in Berewyk & Bubbeton que per forisfactum Hugonis 

 le Despenser comitis Wyntonie in manum nostram devenerunt ut dicitur
