* Stoke tithing lies midway between the villages of St. Mary Bourne and 

 Hurstbonrne Tarrant. The name appears to be derived from the Saxon stoc 

 & place. 



f- Weeke or Wyke, contains the several divisions of Upper, Middle, and Lower 

 Week. The name is derived from the Saxon wic or hamlet or settlement. 

 Upper Week is the more important of the three, and a chapel was formerly 

 appropriated to it in St. Mary Bonrne Church, now the "Week aisle." The 

 Fanconers or Falconers held the manor in 1263 and after. The same was held 

 by Nicholas Beyntun in 1422, and in 1466 it was held by John Beyntnn, 

 Robert Bayntnn sold the manor in 1476, and in 1485 George Nevill had a 

 grant of the same. It was then called Daundelese Wyke. It would appear 

 that Sir Michael Lister had the reversion of the manor granted him after the 

 death of Elizabeth Bayntun. The Oxenbridges lived at Week. Mrs. Barbara 

 Oxenbridge appears in 1591 as occupying Week at the same time, her son Sir 

 Robert lived at Hurstbonrne Priors. It appears from a document in the 



1553,) by Sir Robert Oxenbridge, and continued in that family till 10 Car. I., 

 when it was sold by the then Sir Robert Oxenbridge to Sir Henry Wallop, of 

 Farley Wallop, ancestor of the present Earl of Portsmouth, whose seat- 

 Hurstbourne Park, extends over a large portion of the parish. Captain 

 Symonds, a royalist officer, who was quartered with the King's troop of Life 

 Guards at Longparish 19 Oct., 1644, shortly before the second battle of 

 Newbury, writes in his Diary of the Royal Marches: "Mr. Robert Wallop 

 lives at Husborne Prior, a faire old howse and large park with many ewe trees. 

 Sir Henry Wallop, father to Robert, bought it of Sir Robert Oxenbridge." 



Swampton. This tithing appears in Domesday as Suantune, in the Hundred 

 of Clere. In 1476 it was held in common with Wyke Manor by Robert 

 Baynton, and in 1485 it was granted, together with Wyke, to Sir George 

 Nevill, and was included in the grant made to Sir John Gates in 1553. 



Borne or St. Mary Bourne. The parish contains the six tithings of Bonrne, 

 Binley (including Wadwick or Warwick hamlet), Egbnry, Week or Wyke, 

 Stoke, and Swampton. The benefice of St. Mary Bourne is consolidated with 

 the vicarage of Hurtbonrne Priors.
