into a family of great political distinction at this time. 

 On the death of Sir William Gardiner, grandson of 

 the above, in 1779, without children, the baronetcy 

 became extinct, but was revived in the person of Sir 

 John Whalley Smythe Gardiner, representative of a 

 younger branch of the family in 1783, and from his 

 brother Sir James W. S. Gar- 

 diner it descended in direct 

 succession to Sir John Brocas 

 W. S. Gardiner, who died in 

 1868, and in whom the 

 baronetcy became extinct for 

 the second time." The pro- 

 perty passed to his only daugh- 

 ter Mabel, who died in 1892, 

 and who in 1887 had mar- 

 ried Mr. H. F. Rawstorne, 

 the present lord of the manor. 



The Court Rolls of the 

 manor of North Fareham from 

 the years 1632 to 1749 are 

 in existence, and an interest- 

 ing entry under the latter date is to the effect 

 that ' this manor is out of the jurisdiction of the 

 Court of the lord bishop of Winchester called the 

 Cheney Court,' and ' that no tenant or inhabitant of 

 the manor ought to take the office of tithing man of 

 the tithing of North Fareham by the authority of the 

 Court of the lord bishop of his manor of South Fare- 

 ham, but ought to take the said office and be sworn 

 into the same at the Court of this manor, and by the 

 order thereof as have from time immemorial (been) 

 usual and accustomed.' M 



The second holding in Fareham belonging to the 

 see of Winchester consisted of 4 hides, mentioned in 

 Domesday as held by William, formerly held by Earl 

 Godwin," and probably became the manor of CAMS 

 (Cammes, xiii cent. ; Cammes Oysell, xiv cent. ; 

 Camoyse Oysell, xvi cent.). The early history is 

 obscure, but by the twelfth century it seems to have 

 passed to the Oysell family, for in 1 1 66 Robert 

 Oysell was holding one knight's fee of the bishop of 

 Winchester in Hampshire. 68 This was probably 

 Cams, which seems to have been held subsequently by 

 that service. In 1 306, in the only Parliament in 

 which Fareham was represented, John Oysell, probably 

 a member of the same family, sat as one of the repre- 

 sentatives of the borough. 69 In 1316 the vill of Cams 

 was held by Nicholas Oysell, who appears to have 

 been the last member of the family connected with 

 the place. 60 In 1 346 Nicholas Stake, a man evidently 

 of some importance in Hampshire, who witnessed 

 various deeds relating to the Brocas property, held 

 one knight's fee in Cams. 61 There are no records to 

 show how the manor came into the hands of the 

 Audley family, but in 1397-8 it was conveyed by 

 William Audley and Julia his wife to trustees, one of 

 whom was Sir William Scrope, for the use of the heirs 



of Henry Maupas, 6 ' while in 1417-18 John Kings- 

 mill and Cecily his wife conveyed it to trustees for the 

 use of the heirs of Reginald Curteys. 63 Robert 

 Barbot, one of the trustees, was holding in 1428," 

 and in 1451 Nicholas Wymbish, another trustee,, 

 conveyed the manor to Matilda, wife of Thomas 

 Radford, kinswoman and heiress of Reginald Curteys. 65 

 The Ludlow family, probably a branch of the im- 

 portant Wiltshire family of that name, appears to have 

 had some interest in Cams early in this century, for in. 

 1437 William and Richard Ludlow were granted I o 

 from the manor. 66 A hundred years later John 

 Ludlow held the manor as one knight's fee, 6 ' and it 

 remained in his family until the beginning of the 

 seventeenth century, when it passed into the hands of 

 Emmanuel Badd, 68 who died in 1632, and whose son 

 Thomas, created a baronet in 1 64 2, succeeded to the 

 estate. Thomas died without male heirs in i683, ra 

 having previously conveyed his manor worth 500 a 

 year to trustees for the use of himself and his wife 

 Joan, with the direction that after his death the estate 

 should be sold and the proceeds divided among hi* 

 five daughters. 70 Before 1701-2 Richard Chandler 

 had purchased the manor from two of the daughters, 71 

 possibly the only two then surviving, and later in the 

 century it passed probably by purchase to the Carnac 

 family. 71 In 1781 it was bought by Mr. John Delme, 

 in whose family it remained until 1895, when it was 

 acquired by Mr. Montagu Foster, who is the present 

 lord of the manor." 



CHURCH The church of Sr - PETER and ST - 

 PAUL preserves of its mediaeval building 



only the chancel. To the north of it is the lar^e- 

 modern chancel and vestry, and the nave of the church 

 is a great rectangular room with a coved plaster 

 ceiling and large round-headed windows of the plainest 

 description. Externally it is of red brick, and though 

 it has the merit of being exceedingly spacious and 

 well adapted for preaching, it is a distinctly unattractive 

 building. Local tradition goes so far as to say that 

 the designs from which it was built were originally 

 intended for a silk factory. The tower at the north- 

 east, built in 1742, is also of red brick, but has its- 

 merits, and is rather attractive than otherwise. 



The general appearance of the old chancel is that 

 of a thirteenth-century building with later windows 

 inserted, but its south-west angle has at its lower 

 part ashlar quoins of distinctly pre-Conquest charac- 

 ter in long and short work, and the lower courses of 

 the walls are of larger and coarser flint rubble than the 

 rest. 



In the east wall are three thirteenth-century lancets, 

 and in the north wall five windows altogether, blocked 

 or open. The first is a thirteenth-century lancet, the 

 second a square-headed window of two cinquefoiled 

 lights, c. 1500, and the third a round-headed trefoiled 

 light, probably c. 1320. Of the fourth window, 

 which was like the third, only a jamb remains, and
