Early Chancery Proceedings, Bundle 44, no. 97. 



We may assume with some cei'tainty that by decree of the 

 court of Chancery Edward Hungerford's title to Cadnam and 

 Studley was upheld. But even then tlie resources of John 

 Cricklade, the uncle, were not exhausted. Six years later, in 

 1480, various actions, which had then been already in progress for 

 three years, by Edward Hungerford against John Cryklade, of 

 Pynnell by Calne, William Walrond, of Brynkworth, Thomas 

 Halle, of Henton by Steple Ayssheton, Walter Samburn of 

 Suthcote by Eedyng, co. Berks, and John Poculcherche late of 

 Calne, gentlemen, for raids upon Cadnam and Studley, and a cross 

 action by Samburn against Hungerford, for a raid upon Southcote, 

 were still undecided in tlie King's Bench. With this litigation 

 we may deal on a, future occasion. For the present it is only 

 necessary to add that John Cricklade, the uncle, died without 

 lawful issue, at Calne, 20th March, 1480-1, when the descendants 

 of his sisters, Elizabeth Samborne, Christine Walrond, and Eleanor 

 Hall, shared between them the fragments of that inheritance which 

 he had so persistently endeavoured to keep intact, but the most 

 valuable part of it, the manors of Cadnam and Studley, remained 

 in the possession of the intruder, and " Cadnam Cricklade " became 

 known to posterity as " Cadnam Hungerford.
