in 1567 the manor passed to his son and heir 

 Edward." In 1580 Edward died, leaving a son and 

 heir, John," who, in 1606, settled the manor on his 

 daughter and co-heir Honor on her marriage with 

 Sir Daniel Norton," and they 

 came into possession of the 

 manor on the death of John 

 White in the following year." 



Sir Daniel Norton died 

 seised of the manor in 1636, 

 leaving a son and heir, Richard, 

 who had married Anne daugh- 

 ter of Sir William Earle." 

 Richard died 10 December, 

 1 732,"" and his daughter and 

 heir Sarah married Henry 

 Whitehead ; they had two 

 children Richard and Mary. 

 Richard died young, 25 De- 

 cember, 1733, leaving all his 

 estates to his nephew Francis Thistlethwayte, son of 

 his sister Mary, who had married Alexander Thistle- 

 thwayte in 1717 and died before 1728." Francis 

 Thistlethwayte of Southwick took the name of 

 Whitehead, and died 30 March, 1751, leaving his 

 estates to his elder brother 

 with remainder to his younger 

 brother, Robert Thistle- 

 thwayte. From that time the 

 manor has remained in the 

 hands of the Thistlethwayte 

 family ; Mr. Alexander This- 

 tlethwayte of Southwick Park 

 being lord of the manor at 

 the present day. 



Numerous liberties and im- 

 munities, together with free 

 warren in their demesne lands 

 of Southwick, were granted 



to the prior and convent in 1320 and 1445." 

 A fair, together with a weekly market, was granted 

 to the priory by charter of 1 8 April, 1235. 

 It was changed in 1513 from the vigil of the 

 Assumption of the Blessed Mary to the feast of St. 

 Philip and St. James the Apostles and the two follow- 

 ing days ; because the date of the original fair was 

 damaging to the neighbouring fairs.* In 1343 John 

 le Hunte and his wife Juliana were holding two mills 

 in Southwick. In 1381 it was stated that the priory 

 water-mills and dovecote in Southwick were of no 

 value." 



At the time of the Domesday Survey William 

 Mauduit held two hides less one virgate of land, which 

 Alvric had held as one manor from King Edward, 

 and also one hide of land which Fulcold held from

him." It seems possible that either of these two 

 parcels of land may have become later the manor of 

 BELJNNEr (Belamy, Belney) in Southwick, which 

 was held of William Mauduit in the thirteenth 

 century. 



The overlordship of the manor probably passed 

 from the Mauduits, with the extinction of the male 

 line of the family at the end of the fourteenth 

 century, to the prior of Southwick, from whom the 

 manor was held in the fifteenth century." 



William de Belanney died seised of half a fee in 

 Belanney in 1263, which he held of William Mauduit, 

 and in consequence of this tenure William Mauduit 

 claimed the custody of the lands and heir of William 

 de Belanney." 



Baldwin de Belanney held one fee in Belanney in 

 1346: and in 1350" and in 1 3 59" the same 

 Baldwin granted the manor of Belanney to Henry 

 Sturmy of Elvetham and Margaret." The manor 

 remained in the hands of the Sturmys for more than 

 fifty years, and was then granted by Sir William 

 Sturmy in 1416 to Sir William Hankford and Robert 

 Hall, probably as trustees.* 3 



In 1428 Richard Holt held one fee in Belanney 

 which Baldwin de Belanney had formerly held * 9 ; and 

 died seised of the manor in 1457*; but it is not 

 known how it passed to the Holts. Joan, widow of 

 Richard Holt, who afterwards married Constantino 

 Darrell, held the manor in dower after the death of 

 her late husband, until her death in 1495, when on 

 the partition of the property between her grand- 

 daughter Lora, wife of Thomas, earl of Ormond, and 

 her daughter Elizabeth, wife of John Pound, the 

 manor of Belanney passed to the latter, 51 who died 

 seised of it in 1511 ." Elizabeth was succeeded by 

 her son and heir William, who died in 1525, leaving 

 the manor to his second son, another William ** ; and 

 on the marriage of his granddaughter Mary with 

 Edward White of Southwick ** it passed into the 

 hands of the Whites, and subsequently followed the 

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



A grant of free warren in his demesne lands of 

 Belanney was made to Henry Sturmy and his heirs 

 in 1359." 



Courts leet for the manor are mentioned as late as 

 1803." 



The so-called manor of NEWL4NDS in South- 

 wick was part of the possessions of Southwick Priory 

 at the time of the Dissolution." It was then granted 

 to John White of Southwick in 1 546, M and from this 

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

 It is now represented by Newlands Farm in South- 

 wick. It must originally have formed part of Peter 

 de Cosham's serjeanty in Cosham, for in the thirteenth 

 century the prior of Southwick held by serjeanty a
