A HISTORY OF HAMPSHIRE 



Winchester. The farm of the mill there formed an impor- 

 tant item in the profits of Havant manor. 38 According 

 to an account dated 1319 this land consisted of rather 

 more than 60 acres, and the jurors then stated that six 

 oaks had been felled in ' the Newgrove.' S9 It is doubtful 

 whether separate courts were ever held for the 

 bishop's tenants at Brockhampton. In an account 

 tendered by the bailiff of Brockhampton perquisites of 

 court are mentioned, but from other items on the 

 same roll it would appear that the bailiff was including 

 also the profits of Havant manor. 40 



The manor of FLOOD' 1 (Flode, xiii-xv cent. ; 

 Fludd, xvii cent.) was held of Havant manor by a 

 certain ' Geoffrey de la Flode,' who was succeeded 

 late in the thirteenth century by Ralph de Swanewych, 

 the bishop's servant." In 1483 Joan, wife of William 

 Vernon, joined John Goring the elder and John 

 Goring the younger in releasing the ' manor of Flood ' 

 to Reginald Bray and others. 43 Sir Reginald Bray 

 bequeathed a large part of his estates, and apparently 

 Flood with them, to his niece Margery wife of Sir 

 William Sandys, knt. 44 after- 

 wards Lord Sandys of the 

 Vyne, whose son and heir, 

 Thomas, Lord Sandys, died 

 seised of Flood. 46 In 1612 

 William Sandys conveyed the 

 manor to John Dean with 

 warranty against the heirs of 

 William, Lord Sandys, and 

 others. 46 Probably this con- 

 veyance was in trust to sell, 

 for Flood came with Hall 

 Place 47 to Francis Wooder," 

 who bequeathed it to his half- 

 sister Dorothy Evans, 49 whose sister and legatee, 

 Elizabeth wife of Ascanius Christopher Lockman, 

 conveyed it in 1725 to Isaac Moody. 50 Under 

 the will of his son John it passed to Richard Bingham 

 Newland, who conveyed it in 1812 to William 

 Garrett," who sold it again in 1820.** 



The manor of LIMSORNE, which includes 

 Wade Court, was probably parcel of Warblington 

 manor, for the lands of Wade were amongst the

' terrae Normannorum,' and as such were granted in 

 1204" to the earl of Arundel, with whose successors 

 the overlordship remained. Rominus Hospinel, who 

 succeeded Juliane de Wade as actual tenant, gave 

 i carucate in Wade in marriage with his daughter 

 Agnes to Richard Falconer in 1205." William Fal- 

 coner, probably a descendant, was enfeoffed of a 

 messuage at Wade by Hilary wife of Adam de Wan- 

 stead in 1250 ;" and John Falconer, to whom Isabel 

 de Merlay in 1256 granted a messuage and land in 

 'La Wade and Nytimbre,' 56 died seised of Limborne 

 c. 1305, leaving a daughter and heir, Joan wife of 

 John Butler." In 1352 John Butler was holding 

 Limborne of the earl of Arundel, 68 and twelve years 

 later settlement was made upon John Butler, probably 

 son of the former John and his wife Katherine. 69 It 

 was possibly the same Katherine who, as wife of 

 William Upton, was imprisoned there and almost 

 starved to death in 1389, and whose husband, 

 William Upton, had been outlawed for felony in the 

 previous year, while his estates, including Limborne, 

 fell to the mortgagees, John Brinkebon, Gilbert 

 Bannebury, and Hugh Tildesleghe." Nevertheless, 

 Isabel wife of Geoffrey Roukele and sister and heir 

 of John Butler, died seised of Limborne," 1 which 

 was inherited by her grandson William Wayte of 

 Wymering (q.v.), who apparently conveyed it to 

 Richard Dalingrigge and his wife Sybil, for it was re- 

 leased to them in 1441 by Margaret wife of William 

 Wayte. 63 Richard Dalingrigge died in 1470-1, hav- 

 ing settled Limborne upon Thomas Pound and his 

 wife Mercy in payment of a debt of 200 marks. 61 

 This Thomas died 23 November, 1476, leaving a 

 son and heir John, 66 afterwards Sir John, Pound, who 

 was succeeded by a son William, 66 whose son Anthony 

 inherited Limborne on his father's death in I525- 67 

 Anthony Pound entailed his estates on his son and 

 heir Richard Pound and Elizabeth daughter of William 

 Wayte of Wymering in 1542, with remainder in tail- 

 male to his own daughters Honor and Mary. 68 The 

 latter evidently married Edward White, for in Novem- 

 ber, 1580, Edward White died holding Limborne 

 by courtesy after the death of his wife Mary. He 

 was succeeded by his son John White, 1 * who conveyed

 the bishop's lands in Brockhampton that 

 Longcroft states that Thomas Shepherd 

 was 'lord' in 1748, being succeeded in 

 1764 by Thomas Laud who bequeathed to 

 Francis Foster. 



41 There seems no conclusive evidence 

 of separate courts being held for Flood. 

 Longcroft (Hund. of Bosmert, 26) states 

 that William Wolgar held courts there in 

 1646, but it seems probable that he held 

 them as tenant of Havant manor under 

 the bishop.

 Elizabeth Lockman, whose grand-daughter, 

 Elizabeth Halsey, sold it in 1777 to
