36 HISTORY OF HARTING.

 Wednesday, has been long discontinued." Will any 

 adventurous spirit revive our Wednesday market ? 



Simon de Stanbrugg (i.e. of Standbridge near Peters- 

 field) is mentioned by Dalloway as the first parson of 

 Harting, 1 284. His Ordinary would be the great Bishop 

 Richard de Wych, St. Richard of Chichester, of whose 

 hiding place in Harting there is still a trace in "St. 

 Richard's Hill," as Mr. Harting thinks now profanely 

 called " Dick's Hill," near Hemner.f 



In the reign of Edward I. the Husseys continue to 

 support the popular side ; for the first member for 

 Sussex, summoned to the Carlisle parliament, 1307, 

 is Henry Hussey, lord of Harting. Previous to this, 

 however, Henry Hussey had been in disgrace again. 

 Before the first parliament (18 Ed. I. Riley Placita 

 Parliament, 23), John, Bishop of Winchester, brought 

 a suit against him for poaching and causing his 

 foresters to trespass, when constable of the king's 

 castle of Pierrecester (Porchester ?) on the free warren 

 of the Bishop of Winchester. And in the same year 

 (18 Ed. I. 1292) a Patent Roll says, that Robert de 

 Burnedissh (was he a warming-pan ?} was presented 

 by the Crown to the Church of Harting, " the lands 

 of Henry Husee being at that time in the king's 

 hands " or confiscated. It must have been a bitter 

 grief to the lord of Harting to have lost his patronage 

 so soon after he had built his church. It is about this 

 time also that the Lords Camoys, of Trotton, seem 

 to have had temporary possession of the manor of 

 Harting. Possibly the Jews may have been at high 

 pressure again, and no royal benefactor to appease 

 them. 



In August, 1324, another royal progress brought 

 Ed. II. through our borders, the route being from

 f St. Richard in the time of his deprivation went about his 

 diocese as a gardener, working for his daily bread.
