wardyn leased his manor for a while to Richard Berton, 



' parson of the place.' " His son Sir Roger, and after 



him Sir Walter, and then Sir Robert Pedwardyn held 



the manor in succession, 16 but the heir and grandson l6 



of the last-named alienated it, nine years after coming 



into possession in the reign of 



Henry VI, to Robert White 



and Margaret his wife. 17 For 



some years the Whites held 



the manor. 18 Henry VIII, by 



a grant about 1543, increased 



their estate by giving them 



certain lands that Crowland 



Monastery had once held in 



South Warnborough. 19 In the 



reign of Elizabeth licence was 



granted to Sir Thomas White 



to enfeoff" Chidiock Paulet of 



the manor for the purpose of 



resettlement on Sir Thomas 



and his numerous sons." A 



grandson of this Sir Thomas in 1636 sold the manor 



(certain lands excepted) for the sum of 11,631 2/. to 



Richard Bishop, of London." The Bishops only held 



the manor until the reign of Anne, as William Bishop 



then sold it (certain lands again excepted) for 14,800 



to Robert Graham of the parish of St. Paul, Covent 



Garden." The only daughter or adopted daughter 



of Robert Graham was Barbara Anne Graham, who 



was his sole heiress." She married Captain Thomas 



Harrison Wayne of the loth Regiment of Foot, and 



the marriage, which was a runaway one, took place at 



Farnham, Surrey, where the regiment was quartered 



at the time. 14 



They had no children and Captain Thomas 

 Harrison Wayne bequeathed South Warnborough

manor to Mr. Richardson Harrison, believed to be 

 his cousin, as trustee and guardian to his (Mr. R. 

 Harrison's) second son, Thomas Moore Harrison, 

 with the stipulation that his son should take the name 

 and arms of Wayne, but failing male issue the pro- 

 perty was entailed on the elder brother, the Rev. 

 William Moore Harrison, and his eldest son. Mr. 

 Thomas Moore Wayne mar- 

 ried Miss Fanny Bowyer in 

 1817, and they had daughters 

 only, and therefore after the 

 death of Thomas Moore Wayne 

 in 1 868, Mr. Thomas Harrison 

 Wayne succeeded, his father 

 the Rev. W. M. Harrison 

 having died in the previous 

 October." 



He married Emma Tucker 

 Messiter, and died in 1879. 

 His widow is the present lady 

 of the manor, and as the 

 entail is now ended, her eldest 



daughter, Mary Elizabeth Harrison married to 

 Mr. John Scales Bakewell, is her heir."

 46 ft. by 22 ft. with modern south aisle 

 and north porch, and wooden bell-turret at the west. 

 The walls are of flint rubble, all except the west wall 

 of the nave and the new south aisle being covered 

 with rough-cast externally, and the roofs are red-tiled. 

 At the east end of the south aisle an early twelfth-century 

 volute capital and shaft are built into the new wall,

 building of this date, of which one window at the 

 south-west is still to be seen. The north doorway of

then held by Ela wife of Philip Basset. 

 Probably he was enfeoffed of the manor 

 by the said Ela, as an inquisition of 1291 

 (Ela not dying until 1297) discovers a 

 Nicholas Malemayni seised of the manor 

 of South Warnborough which he held of 

 the crown (Inq. p.m. 20 Edw. I, No. 15). 

 An inquisition of the reign of Edward III 

 shows Nicholas Malemayns, evidently the 

 son, holding land in South Warnborough 

 of Roger Pcdwardyn (Chan. Inq. p.m. 23 

 Edw. Ill, pt. 2, No. 1 60). At the time 

 when Nicholas Malemayns held the manor 

 its extent amounted to a capital messuage 

 with a courtyard worth 2J. per annum ; 

 also 10 acres of arable land, which with 

 common of pasture were of the value of 

 2 marks (Inq. p.m. 20 Edw. I, m. 15). 

 Later, in 1366, Sir William de Hoo with 

 his wife Alice granted lands that had once 

 belonged to Nicholas Malemayns to Sir 

 Roger Pedwardyn (Chartul. of Pcdwardyn 

 Family, Add. MS. 32101). 



14 Chartul. of Pedwardyn Family, Add. 

 MS. 32101. This lease was a source of 

 future trouble to the lords of South 

 Warnborough, for Richard Berton (de 

 Bartone) demanded a common of pasture 

 at the end of his lease. He did not get it, 

 nor did his successors who in turn de- 

 manded it. But parson Richard Gardiner, a 

 man of spirit, brought an action against 

 Sir Walter and Robert Pedwardyn con- 

 cerning this pasture. The action lasted 

 seven years, in the reigns of Richard II 

 and Henry IV, and ended in the defeat 

 of the parson. One parson, Thomas 

 Saddok, in addition to clerical duties, 

 became bailiff of the manor (seigneurie).

 Aidsy Walter Sandys of Andover held the 

 manor by service of one knight's fee in 

 1431, about the time of Sir Robert 

 Pedwardyn's death. Probably he was a 

 lessee for a term of years. During the 

 Pedwardyn lordship the charters of that 

 family, as well as certain fines, disclose 

 the names of lesser but not incon- 

 siderable landowners in South Warn- 

 borough : Geoffrey le Froghel, owner 

 of one virgatc (Feet of F. Hants, Mich. 

 6 Edw. Ill) ; John Fode of Winchester 

 who had 42 acres (Feet of F. Hants, East. 

 1 1 Edw. Ill), and who granted lands held 

 by him to Sir Roger Pedwardyn (Chartul. 

 of Pedwardyn Family, Add. MS. 32101). 

 Moreover the family of Byflete appear as 

 tenants of the lords of the manor (ibid, 

 and Feet of F. Hants, Mich. 12 Edw. II ; 

 ibid. East. 8 Edw. II).

These lands included the wood of 3 acres 

 in South Warnborough called ' Crowdale 

 Grove." The possessions of Sir Thomas 

 Seymour in Hampshire included certain 

 land in South Warnborough of which the 

 Whites of Warnborough were in tenure. 

 A patent of Edward VI after the execu- 

 tion of Sir Thomas assigned these lands, 

 with his manors, of which they were 

 appurtenances, to William Lord St. John, 

 earl of Wiltshire. They had been, and 

 were to be, held in chief.
