* Robert Oxenbridge, Esq., afterwards Sir Robert Oxenbridge, son of Sir 

 Robert Oxenbridge, of Hurst bourne Priors, and Alice his wife. He married 

 Barbara, daughter of Sir Thomas White, knt., of South Wanborough, co. Hants, 

 Master of the Court of Requests. He died at Hurstbonrne, 22 Jan. 1591. 



f "The franchises." Now written "Frenches," an example of how local 

 names become corrupted in course of time. Lady Oxenbridge lived at Week or 

 Wyke house, now Upper Wike, at the same time her son Sir Robert lived at 

 Hnrstbonrne Priors. The arms of the Oxenbridges arc mentioned in 1861, as 

 being displayed on portions of the interior of the house, but on a recent \ i-i: 

 we found the whole place had been "swept and garnished," not a vestige of 

 its former importance remaining beyond a stack of Jacobean chimneys, and an 

 ancient lock on one of the attic doors. The situation of the house Is very fine, 

 but the grand view to the south is obscured by the block of farm buildings 

 immediately in front. The farm is now occupied by Mr. Erie*, belonging to 

 an old family mentioned by Dr. Stevens in his "Hist, of St. Mary Bourne, aa 

 an ancient stock in the neighbourhood.
