* Lovelock is the name of a family which from this date to the present day 

 has always had its representatives engaged in agricnltare, aim the name 

 occurs very frequently in the registers of Vernham Dean, Faccombe, Kings- 

 clere, and other North Hampshire parishes. The names of some of this old 

 yeomen stock appear as having served as troopers in the regiment of horse 

 raised by the Kingsmille, of Sydmonton at the time of the Civil War. and one 

 of them, Mr. James Lovelocke was amongst the prisoners taken at the second 

 battle of Newbury by the Parliamentary army. A branch of the family has 

 been long settled in the parish of Shaw, near Newbnry, where a well-known 

 representative still resides. 



-j- There is a holding in Kingsclere parish still known as Waytes or Wait's 

 farm. 



J Now-known as ' Strattons." Thomas Wither, of Manydown, who died 

 in 1507, married Joan, daaghter of Richard Mason, of Sydmonton, and among 

 other children had 1. John who succeeded to Manydown, and died in 1536 ; 

 2. Richard, of Sydmonton, and 3. Thomas, of Earlstone. Richard's Will ia 

 at Winchester, in which he is described as of Wherwell. In two Inquisitions 

 post mortem dated respectively 1570 and 1602, mention is made that the son 

 and grandson of Richard, viz.: John and Hemy owned about 120 acres in 

 Kingsclere, and Earlstone, called Apshanger, Stracton Magna, here written 

 " Strottons," Holl Close, and Roodebreach. The premises in Earlstone appear 

 to have been copyhold, for they were held "of Richard Fynes, Esquire, 

 Knight, by suit of court of his manor of Erleston." 



This name is still retained as part of Strattons, and is well known to 

 hunting men for its swampy pitfalls. 



|| This name still survives.
