A HISTORY OF HAMPSHIRE 



WILLIAM or WYKE- 

 BAM. Argent two che-

with all the lands which had belonged to John de 

 Boarhunt, in order that he might give them to the 

 prior and convent of Southwick. 30 



The manor remained in the hands of the prior and 

 convent until the Dissolution, 

 when it was granted in 1543 

 to Thomas Wriothesley, earl 

 of Southampton." In the 

 next year licence was granted 

 to the earl to alienate the 

 manor to John White of 

 Southwick," and from this 

 time onwards the manorial 

 descent follows that of South- 

 wick (q.v.). 



There were two mills in 

 Boarhunt at the time of the 

 Domesday Survey, one worth 

 42</. and one for the use of 



the hall ; there were also two salt-pans which were 

 valued at 221. 4<^. 33 



In 1365 there was a mill among the appurtenances 

 of the manor, which Bernard Brocas and his wife 

 Mary conveyed to William of Wykeham." 



A grant of free warren in his demesne lands of 

 Boarhunt was made to Richard de Boarhunt in I358, 36 

 also the right of holding a market every week on 

 Saturday and a fair every year to last three days, 

 namely, the eve, day, and morrow of St. Thomas the 

 Apostle. 36 There are no traces of these remaining at 

 the present day. 



The manor of BOARHUNT HERBELTN (Bur- 

 rant Harbelyn, xiv cent.) evidently takes its name in 

 the reign of Henry III from Herbelin who held it 

 by serjeanty.* 7 Earlier in the reign it was held by 

 William de Boarhunt as one carucate, elsewhere de- 

 scribed as worth 40*. a year, by the serjeanty of serving 

 in Portchester Castle, with a ' habergellum ' in time 

 of war for twenty (or forty) days.* 8 At this date the 

 manor of Boarhunt Herbelyn passed to Henry de 

 Boarhunt, who held it until his death in 1320, when 

 it passed to his son Gilbert. 39 Thomas son and heir 

 of Gilbert die"d unmarried, but before his death he 

 granted his estate to Richard Danvers, who resettled 

 it on himself and his brother William, who had 

 married Margaret de Boarhunt ; Thomas 40 cousin of 

 William Danvers died in 1361 and Richard in 1362.*' 

 On the death of William, Richard made over this 

 estate to trustees in order that they might convey it 

 to the prior and convent of Southwick. 48 



The manor remained with the prior and convent 

 until the Dissolution, when it was granted in 1543 

 to Thomas Wriothesley, earl of Southampton. 43 

 From this time the descent of this manor follows that 

 of Boarhunt Herberd (q.v.). 



The manor of EAST BOARHUNT is identical, in 

 Mr. Round's opinion, with one of the two unnamed 

 holdings of William Mauduit in Portsdown Hundred, 



recorded in Domesday Book. For in the reign of 

 Henry III it was held of his descendant and namesake 

 as ' Estburhunt ' by Robert de Bello Alneto, and is 

 there entered as half a hide of land." In 1262 it was 

 found to be held of William Mauduit by William de 

 Bello Alneto as half a knight's fee. The same tenant 

 was holding a quarter of a fee of Thomas de Boar- 

 hunt, the St. John's tenant in the manor of Boarhunt ** 



The tithing of H1PLET (Huppeley, Hippeleye, 

 Ipley, xiv and xvi cent.) lies to the north-west of the 

 parish of Boarhunt. The earliest mention seems to 

 be in the year 1248, when Basil de Hipley granted 

 half a carucate of land in Hipley to Robert le 

 Burgeys after an assize of mort d'ancestor. 46 



Philip de Benstede and his wife Imania granted 

 the fourth part of half a carucate of land, 25 acres 

 of meadow and 6/. I \d. rent in Hipley, to the prior 

 and convent of Southwick in 12 70." 



From this time the prior and convent were gradu- 

 ally acquiring lands in Hipley, from Geoffrey de 

 Wanstede in I335, 48 from John, son of Robert le 

 Porter, and William Rushmere in I336, 49 from Hugh 

 Beneyt in 1343.* 



After the dissolution in 1537 the lands in Hipley 

 belonging to the prior and convent were granted to 

 John White of Southwick,* 1 and as there is no further 

 separate record of Hipley, the lands evidently followed 

 the descent of the manor of Southwick (q. v.). 



The church of ST. NICHOLAS has a 

 CHURCH chancel 15 ft. 3 in. east to west by 

 146. 9 in., and a nave 41 ft. by 19 ft., 

 with a bell-turret on the west gable. It is a very 

 valuable specimen of a small pre-Conquest building, 

 preserving its main dimensions unchanged. The 

 walls are 2 ft. 6 in. thick, built of flint rubble, origin- 

 ally covered with a thick coat of yellow plastering, of 

 which a certain amount remains intact, and the angles 

 have Binstead stone dressings of excellent quality, 

 preserving in places short diagonal tool-marks. The 

 stones are not set after the common pre-Conquest 

 fashion of long and short work, and though in some 

 cases of good size are not remarkable in any way. 



All internal angles, whether salient or re-entering, 

 are built with ashlar quoins. 



The only original window is on the north side ot" 

 the chancel, and is a round-headed light 2 ft. wide at 

 the outer opening, and double splayed, the pierced 

 midwall slab having an opening I ft. loin, high, 

 surrounded by a double line of cable-moulding. The 

 head and jambs within and without are of good 

 fine-jointed ashlar work, the sills being of plastered 

 rubble. Internally this window is blocked by a 

 sixteenth-century monument. 



The east and south windows of the chancel are 

 inserted thirteenth-century lancets, and at the west 

 end of the south wall is a plain segmental-headed 

 doorway, now blocked. 



On either side of the east window are image
