called Dawes-Frowd, land of Lord Arundel and estated out to Mrs. Morley, a

Heytesbury, a steady friend of the Parliament, maintaining his son in the service 
with horse and arms to this day—and suffering much by plunder from the 
Cavaliers. We therefore accept of 40 shillings in lieu of his five and twentieth 
part, and do acquit him upon the Ordinance made in that behalf. 
Ist April. Lord Cromwell, of Ockham, in Surrey. We have seized of the 
Lord Cromwell’s rents at Amesbury, due Lady-Day last, and his means there ; 
being sequestered long since —in the hands of Mr. Trotman in part, £20, of the 
widow Bundy, £14, and of Stephen Child, £4.—Subsequently Mr. Anthony 
Trotman gave in his full account respecting Countess-Farm, at Amesbury. The 
full rent was £120, but for quarterings of soldiers he claimed £28 8s., which 
was allowed; leaving £11 11s. 11d. still due for last Lady-Day’s rent, besides 
what will fall due at Michaelmas, which he is then to pay hither. For the 
ensuing year he is to pay £90, and be free of all charges and payments 
whatsoever except the dues unto the Church and poor. And he is bound to farm 
it according to the course of the country thereabout. 
Edward Seymour, of Maiden Bradley, Esq., was a delinquent in arms. For 
his estate there, viz., the manor, two small farms called Dangins and Rate Bens, 
lands called Backcliff, the old-rents of the manor, and a coppice of ten acres 
called Ball's Coppice; for all these John Moulton and Robert Moulton, both of 
Maiden Bradley, have become tenants to the State, at £140, for the year ending 
next Lady-Day. [If this Edward Seymour be the same as the Edward Seymour 
of Berry Pomeroy, who paid £1200, it may account for the absence of his name 
from the list of the Wiltshire Compounders. | 
Mr. Walter Barnes is now tenant for the Lord Stourton’s manor and demesnes 
called Stourton, with the old-rents there, and also the old-rents.of Penley manor»
