A HISTORY OF HAMPSHIRE 



it to Richard Lock and Henry Wheeler. 76 Lady 

 Heighes seems to have disputed this sale in a chancery 

 action brought in 1 620. A manor of Flood was 

 sold in 1725 by A. C. Lockman and Elizabeth his 

 wife to Isaac Moody. 78 This sale may however 

 relate to the manor of Flood in Havant. 



HEIGH or SOUTH HEIGH. In 1268 John 

 de Heighes and Agnes his wife established their 

 tide against Robert de Popham to a messuage and 

 12 acres of land in Binsted 

 which John was to hold in 

 right of Agnes by an annual 

 render of 5*. to Robert. 79 

 Simon de Heighes died seized, 

 in 1362, of a messuage and 

 carucate of land in ' Heyes ' 

 held of the Earl of Kent ; 

 Simon was his son and heir 

 aged twenty-four. 80 Richard 

 Heighes paid rent to Alton HoLT- Silvtr three 



for 'South Heye' in I399- 81 Jiturs de lyl axure. 



In 1595 Henry Heighes died 



seized of the manor leaving a son and heir 



Nicholas, aged sixteen. 82 Nicholas acquired a third

part of it in 1603 from William Tuttie and 

 Thomasine his wife. 83 Sir Nicholas Heighes' 

 widow Martha was plaintiff in a suit as to the 



manor brought in 1 620 against Lock and Henry 

 Wheeler. 84 Heighes Woodford sold it in 1701 to 

 Francis Heatley. 85 



WHEATLEr or WHATLEY. l*. 1398 

 Richard Holt was tenant of land called Budell 

 Whatle. 88 From 1495, when Joan Holt, widow 

 of Richard Holt, died seized of a messuage in 

 Whatley, down to the present time, this manor 

 appears to follow the descent of Westcourt (q.v.). 



THURSTONS.ln 1 399 William Thurston paid 

 rent to Alton for land in Binsted which had been 

 his father's. 87 The property afterwards passed to 

 the Windsor family, with whom it was as early as 

 I529, 88 and on 7 May, 1586, was sold as 'the 

 manor, capital messuage or farm called Thurstons,' 

 for 276 1 3/. 4</. to Richard Hardinge of Waverley, 

 Surrey. 89 Thomas Hardinge died seized of this 

 manor in l622, 90 leaving a son and heir Thomas, 

 of whom John Clifton acquired it in 1625," which 

 John sold it, about the year 1634, to Henry 

 Wheeler and Robert Lock. 82 From 1695 to 1706 

 Lord Dartmouth appears as lord of the manor. 93 

 The property is now (1902) owned by the Rev. 

 Augustus Legge and consists of a farmyard and 

 two cottages. 91 



The parish 



CHURCH church of the 

 Holy Cross con- 

 sists of a chancel with south 

 aisle, north chapel, and north 

 vestry, and a nave and aisles 

 with western tower and south 

 porch. It underwent a resto- 

 ration in 1863. 



The chancel is three bays 

 in length. In the east wall is a 

 three-light late fifteenth cen- 

 tury window, but the first 

 bay has on each side an 

 original pointed lancet of 

 late twelfth century date. 

 In the south wall is a shoul- 

 dered piscina with two 

 round drains, and north of 

 the altar a square locker 

 with grooves for a shelf. 

 West of this is an inserted 

 doorway into the vestry, 

 which is a fifteenth century 

 structure with a single light 

 on the east and a two-light 

 square-headed window on 

 the north. The other bays 

 of the chancel are pierced 

 with two semicircular arches 



of two orders carried by a round pillar and re- 

 sponds with moulded capitals, all of late twelfth 

 century work. The chancel arch is modern. The
