Since 1804 the Chace has ceased to exist, except in farms and 
enclosures, but some of the farm-houses which were keepers’ lodges 
still retain their original names. 
CoryHoLps AND Woops. 
In the survey of the manor by John Twynyho, Surveyor of the 
Manor 6 Edw. VI. (1552) the jury present as follows :—

Tue Town. 
In Sir John Poyntz’s survey, 33 Eliz., in which the jury present 
the boundaries of the manor of Aldbourne, they also present that 
there are two fairs at Aldbourne, one on St. Edward’s Day, and the 
other on St. Mary Magdalene’s Day, and “a weekly Tuesdaie 
market kept in the Town of Alborn till within ten years last past 
£1581] and sithence the same is and hath been discontinued.” 
Tue Cross. 
In what was the market square is a handsome cross, raised on 
three steps. It was restored in the last century by a citizen of 
London, but in the restoration the crucifix is placed at an angle 
with the shaft to answer the purpose of a sun-dial, showing that 
sometimes at least Eternity is made subservient to Time. 
Tur Batre. 
This occurred September 17th, 1643, between the raising of the 
siege of Gloucester by the Earl of Essex and the Battle of Newbury 
in which the Earl of Carnarvon, the Earl of Sunderland, and Lord 
Viscount Falkland were killed.
