FINCHDEAN HUNDRED 



CATHERINGTON 



the manor of Amner alias Andemer alias Aldemer, 

 and common of pasture and free warren in Cather- 

 ington, leaving a son and heir George, aged sixteen. 118 

 It seems probable that soon after this the manor was 

 bought by the Hyde family, and became merged with 

 the rest of the Hinton estates, of which it has formed 

 a part for over two centuries. At the present day 

 Anmore is the property of Mr. Hyde Salmon 

 Whalley-Tooker. 



HORMER (Horemare, Horemeare, Hormare 

 Farm, Hen ton Hormere, and Henton Horner, xvi 

 cent.) was a small manor dependent on the manor of 

 Hinton Daubnay (q.v.), and followed the same de- 

 scent. At the time of the dissolution the capital 

 messuage was farmed out to William Padwick at a 

 rent of i 2/. 119 There are several references to it in 

 the depositions of witnesses taken in the course of the 

 lawsuit between Edward earl of Worcester and the 

 lords of the manor of Hinton Daubnay in I59I. 1 * 

 Thus one witness declared that he knew John Good- 

 wyn, surveyor to the Queen's Majesty's, dwelling in a 

 ' farm called Hormer,' parcel of the manor of Hinton 

 Daubnay, to fell and take certain timber trees within 

 the ground called Woodcrofts for the building of that 

 farm-house, and also take at divers times firewood 

 there for his fuel to spend in the same farm-house. 

 In the inquisition taken after the death of Sir Nicholas 

 Hyde it is described as the farm called 'Hormer 

 Farm ' in Hormer. 121 Up to within twenty years ago 

 the village was represented by three very old cottages. 

 These have now been pulled down, but the piece of 

 ground on which they stood is still called ' Harmer.' '** 



LOVEDEAN (Loveden xvii cent.). William Tisted, 

 lord of the manors of West Tisted and Woodcote in 

 Bramdean, died in 1511 seised of six messuages, 

 200 acres of arable land, loo acres of pasture, 4 acres 

 of meadow, and 2 acres of wood in the vills and 

 parishes of Catherington and Blendworth, which were 

 held of George earl of Shrewsbury as of his manor of 

 Chalton. 1 " On the death of his brother and heir 

 Thomas without issue a few years later these tene- 

 ments were divided among his four sisters and co- 

 heirs and their descendants. 1 " Three of them sold 

 their moieties to Richard Norton, 115 whose descendant 

 Richard Norton died in 1584 seised of certain lands 

 and tenements in Catherington, leaving a son and 

 heir Anthony, 1 * 6 who ten years later granted three- 

 fourths of the manor of Catherington to his sister 

 Isabel Norton. 1 " Isabel married Thomas Lovedean of 

 East Meon, from which circumstance the manor in 

 after years was called the manor of Lovedean. 

 Thomas was a recusant, and in 1608 two-thirds of 

 his lands and tenements lying in Blendworth and 

 Catherington, of the yearly value of 3 121., which 

 he held in right of Isabel his wife, were granted to 

 John Casewell, Christopher Stubbes, and Thomas 

 Hutchinson, until the end of a term of forty-one 

 years. 128 On the death of Thomas and Isabel the 



property in Catherington descended to Anthony 

 Lovedean, on whose death in 1635 it was described 

 as a cottage and 50 acres in Catheringtcn, a messuage 

 called Lovedean, and 5^ acres in Catherington held of 

 the manor of Chalton by a rent of is. ^J.* n His 

 heir was his son Sebastian, aged ten and a half years, 

 who was a recusant like his grandfather. 180 John Hoare, 

 whose family had been settled in Catherington as early 

 as the reign of Henry VIII, 131 seems to have purchased 

 the property shortly afterwards, but there seems to be 

 no record of the sale. In 1639 his widow Anne 

 purchased the remaining moiety of the manor of 

 Lovedean from Thomas Hayes and Penelope his 

 wife. 1 " The history of this moiety after the death of 

 Thomas Tisted is uncertain. It descended to William 

 Tisted's granddaughter Mary, the wife of Sir Edward 

 Rogers, and by fine of 1551 was settled on them for 

 the term of their lives, with remainder to their son 

 George Rogers and Joan his wife in fee- tail ; 13S but it 

 seems impossible to ascertain whether Thomas and 

 Penelope were holding it by right of inheritance, or 

 whether they had purchased it. John and Anne 

 Hoare left two daughters and co-heirs. The manor 

 of Lovedean passed to Anne, the wife of William 

 Ellson of Barham and of Oving (co. Suss.), 134 and 

 remained in the family of 

 Ellson for about a century, 

 William Ellson dealing with 

 it by recovery in 1739."* 

 The manor was subsequently 

 purchased by the lord of the 

 neighbouring manor of Hinton 

 Daubnay, and still forms part 

 of the Hinton Daubnay estates. 



LUDMORE (Ledmere xiv 

 cent. ; Lidmer xvi cent. ; 

 Ludmere xvii cent.) formed 

 part of the manor of Hinton 

 Burrant, and was sold by John 

 Chatfield in 1 629 :M to Thomas Keightley, from whom 

 it passed by sale to Sir Nicholas Hyde. It still forms 

 part of the Hinton estate. In an indenture of 1629 

 the following description is given of the property : A 

 messuage called Ludmore afias Ludmere, sometime in 

 the occupation of one Barnard, a close called the 

 'Home Close' containing 10 acres, a close called 

 ' Cunstables ' containing 26 acres, a close called 

 'Credies' containing 12 acres, a close lying to the 

 north of the mansion house of Sir Nicholas Hyde in 

 Hinton Daubnay, and a close of pasture and wood 

 called ' Harecroft ' containing I o acre=. 1S7 



In the fourteenth century Henry son of Herbert 

 de Boarhunt granted to the prior and convent of 

 Southwick the land of ' Aldelond ' and 7 acres by 

 ' Ledmere ' at Hinton, which Robert de Henton had 

 given him. 118 These lands subsequently formed part 

 of the manor of Anmore, and passed with it to 

 Nicholas Hunt, who in 1600 sold them to Arthur 



ELLSON. Argent a
