The estates of the cadet line of Hungerford seated at Cadnam 

 ill this county consisted, in 1628, of the manors of Cadnam, Studley 

 alias Studley Hungerford, and Great Durnford alias Durnford 

 Hungerford, with lands in Cadnam, Bremhill, Studley, Calne, and 

 Durnford ; of lands in Broadtown, Cricklade, and Great and Little 

 Chelworth ; of a manor or capital messuage in Christian Malford, 

 with lands there and in Seagry ; and of the manor of Chilton, co. 

 Berks.^ 



The findings of a jury- at Salisbury, in 1517, explain how the 

 manor of Durnford was acquired and what the connexion was 

 between this branch of the family and the main stock. The 

 jurors state that the manor of Durnford was granted by certain 

 feoffees in 1470 (together with the manor of Staunton Fitzherbert) 

 at the request of Sir Edmund Hungerford [of Down Ampney] to 

 Edward Hungerford, esq., his son, and Anne, daughter of Sir 

 Edward Grey, Lord Ferrers de Groby, Edward's wife, in tail male, 

 with remainder to the said Edmund, the father, in tail male, 

 with remainder to the heirs male of the body of Sir Walter 

 Hungerford, late Lord Hungerford, father of the said Edmund, 

 with remainder to the heirs of the body, with remainder in default 

 to the right heirs, of the said Walter. 



Further, it appears by the will ^ of the said Edward Hungerford, 

 son of Edmund (dated 29 Aug., 1504, proved 14th Oct., 1507), 

 that feoffees were then seised to his use of " the manor of Stodely 

 Cricklade, and Cadnam" and of lands in Chilworth, which by his 

 said will he gives to Kobert his son, and such as should become 

 his wife, and their heirs, with remainder in default to Thomas his
