312 Murder of Henry Long, Esq. 
follower, came unto Whitley Lodge,! near Tichfield, in one of the 
Earl of Southampton’s Parks, where Thomas Dymmocke, Gent., is 
keeper, on Saturday, 5th October last, about eight or nine o’clock 
in the morning, and there ‘continued all that day and night, until 
it was Tuesday morning following; during which time of their 
abode at the said lodge, one John, a cook of the Earl of South- 
ampton’s dressed their meat; and that on Monday, the 7th October, 
at night, the said Karl with some seven or eight followers came 
unto the said lodge, and stopped with the said Knights, and tarried 
there all that night; and on the Tuesday morning, the 8th October, 
about two hours before day the said Earl departed from thence 
with the said Knights and company to the number of six or seven 
horse, whereof Thomas Dymmocke was one, unto Burselden Ferry, 
where the boat of Henry and William Reedes, of Burselden afore- 
said, was prepared in a readiness, being sent unto for that purpose 
the night before, by one Robert Gee, servant to the said Dymmocke, 
and by his commandment. 
And immediately upon their coming to the said Ferry, the said 
Earl requested the two Reedes to take into their boat the said 
company, and presently passed, the same Tuesday morning, into 
Cawshot Castle, but the company would not then go on shore; 
but there they found Mr. Hunnings, the Earl of Southampton’s 
Steward, with others to the number of four or five persons, which 
said Hunnings had been on shore, and had talked with the deputy 
touching the landing of the said Knights and company there, 
whom the said Reedes took into their boat all but the said Hun- 
nings, and so put off from shore and did ride between Cawshot 
and St. Andrew’s Castle the Tuesday all day until it was Wed- 
nesday in the evening, and that immediately after they had put off 
1 Whitley (pronounced Whiteley) Lodge lies about three miles N.W. of 
Tichfield or Place House, on a hill surrounded by deep clay land and woods. 
It is now a farm-house, with a space round it cleared for agriculture. There 
are remains of a moat, and some indications of a house of quality. It formerly 
lay within the Park belonging to the Great House, with which it was connected 
by a path through the woods called ‘‘ My Lady’s Walk.” In its original state 
it must have been a very secluded spot.
