HISTORY OF HARTING. 6? 



the first appearance of the name of " Carrell " is to be 

 found in the Calendar to Pleadings of the Dutchy of 

 Lancaster, 38 Hen. VIII. , the last year of that king, or 

 1547 (where the king, on the information of John 

 Carrell, Attorney general of the Dutchy, pleads against 

 Henry Ashelye, Deputy Keeper of the Forest and 

 Chase of Holte Park and chase of Kingston Lacye, 

 Dorsetshire), he proceeds to add that Dalloway thinks 

 that the name of Caryll descended from the Irish 

 name O'Carroll. He continues : " At this date (six- 

 teenth century) it is well known that the English were 

 wont to migrate to Ireland, but instances of a counter 

 migration of Irish families to England are most rare : 

 and certainly an Irishman of that date is not likely to 

 be found as a Professor of the law. I am led, there- 

 fore, to think that the Carylls of Sussex were an off- 

 shoot of the great Kentish family of Crioll, of whom 

 Ireland tells us in his history of Kent, but whose 

 ancestor was described in the Roll of Battle Abbey as 

 Kyriell. Four centuries after the battle of Hastings 

 we find that Sir Thomas Keryell, Knight of the Garter 

 (an undoubted descendant of Bertram de Crioll, who 

 was Governor of Dover and Rochester Castles in 16 

 and 26 Hen. Ill), being taken prisoner at the battle of 

 Bernard's Heath, near St. Alban's, was beheaded, 

 leaving two daughters his co-heiresses. I note this as 

 showing that Keryell was considered by some, and 

 possibly by the more knightly branches of the race, as 

 the proper surname." 



The zenith of the fortunes of the Caryll family at 

 Harting was reached in 1610, when Sir Edward Caryll* 



The inscription in the chantry said that he married three 

 wives ; his only surviving son being Sir Richard, the son of the 

 third wife, Elizabeth Wootton, daughter of a rich London 

 merchant. The date of the mortuary chapel is fixed by the will 

 of Sir Richard Caryll of Hartinge, dated 20 Aug., 1616 [Add 1 28, 

 250] " My Bodye to be buried in ye chapell in Hartinge Church, 

 newly built, where my father was buried." He gives 20 to the 

 poor of Hartinge, and to " Margery, my loving wife," .600.
