Subordinate to the Barony of Castle Combe. 277 



co nomine entered as the fee of Nicholas and Reginald, sons of Roger 

 de Warley, (suspiciously like Berlegh) in 1350. In 1404, it be- 

 longed to John Wache. In 1417, the same John Wache is enrolled 

 as owing suit and service for one-fifth of a knight's fee in Cumber- 

 well, and Philip Videlew for another, called Gyrs, held of the 

 Barony of Castle Combe. Thomas Atforde was admitted to a 

 tenement there, formerly John Asheley's, in 1396-1404. The 

 Bio mats seem to have possessed it 1429-41. Afterwards it was 

 owned and occupied by the Bayntun family. 



14. Rx'steselle. — Held at the time of the great survey by Gunter. 

 This is another instance of misspelling. There can be no doubt 

 that Lushill, near Swindon, is the manor intended. Rushall has 

 another and better representative in Domesday, a large manor then 

 in the king's hand, and held temp. Henry III. by Geoffry de 

 Alneto. L\istehulle was then held as two parts of a knight's fee 

 bj* Nicholas, the son of Ada, of Walter de Dunstanville, as of his 

 Barony of Combe, (Lib. Feod.) In the Partition Roll of 1340 it 

 is said to be held by John de Lusteshull, and valued at 21. In 

 1377, the rolls state it to have been seized into custody of the lord, 

 during the minority of John de Lusteshull. Nicholas Castle Combe 

 de Lushill held it in 1404. He was the descendant and represen- 

 tative of John Dunstanvill abas Castle Combe, third son of Walter 

 the second baron of that name, whose son Robert, as we have seen 

 already, married Grace de Bohun, and was the progenitor of the 

 Dunstanvills alias Castle Combes of Cricklade, from whom descended 

 Sir Thomas Wriothesley, Garter, and the Earls of Southampton, 

 temp. Henry VIII. — Edward VI., through the marriage of John 

 Writhe, or Wriothesley, Garter, 1470, to Barbara, daughter and 

 heiress of John Castle Combe of Cricklade. Agnes de Castel Combe, 

 widow of Nicholas, held this fee in 1414. On her death, in 1442, 

 her heir, John Temys, paid one hundred shillings at the Knight's 

 Court of Castle Combe for his relief. He held it still in 1454. l 



1 Was this John Temys tin- John Castle Combe whose heiress John Writhe 

 married? And did he, Garter, and bis son sir Thomas Wriothesley inherit 

 Lushill? The Herald's ''"II' ge may solve ilii* question.
