* The Swan. This ancient hostelry is still to the fore at Kingsclere, and 

 from time out of mind, has been the property of St. Mary's College, Win- 

 chester. This and the "Crown" must be two of the oldest licensed houses 

 in the country. Mr. T. F. Kirby, M.A., F.S.A., Bursar of Winchester College, 

 has been good enough to point out that Charters of Privilege exempted the 

 College from this burden of purveyance, but the purveyors were always "trying 

 it on," and at one time a Charter of Privilege was kept at Harmondsworth, 

 where the College had property, in order to show to purveyors when they came 

 there. With regard to the "Swan" property Mr. Kirby mentions that he 

 does not think the exemption from purveyance by the Charters of Privilege 

 extended to the Lesees of the College property, and the "Swan" was un- 

 doubtedly let on beneficial lease to lessees who undertook to bear all burdens. 

 The same was the case as regards Subsidies, the exemption of the College 

 from which did not extend to their lessees. 



f Simon Holdip, probably a son of this tenant, was a scholar of Winchester 

 College in 1587, and a Nicholas Holdip in 1571. The former was Rector of 

 Ashe and Deane in 1602. He married Patience Dowse. This name is still a 

 familiar, one in Kingsclere as " Holdup." 



I Robert Warham. This appears to have been a nephew of William 

 Warham, Archbishop of Canterbury. 



Probably what is now known as "Frith farm."
