A HISTORY OF HAMPSHIRE 



church ofWeston Corbett occurs in 1305, when John 

 de Laudimor was patron. 33 The advowson afterwards 

 passed to the lords of the manor. John de Bohun, 

 father and son, both held the presentation. 



The right having lapsed, Lady Ann Roos presented 

 between 1447 and i486. 34 Later, Richard More, of 

 the king's household, presented. 35 The lords of the 

 manor were again patrons in the reigns of Philip and 

 Mary and Elizabeth, John Altham and John Elliot 

 both holding the advowson. 36 



In or about 1586 Elizabeth, on the petition of Sir 



James Crofte, granted the 'free chapel of Weston 

 Corbett, now ruined and profaned,' to Edward Wy- 

 marke, to be held in common socage and by payment 

 of rent. 37 There is no further mention of the 

 church. 



The tithes were also given to Edward Wymarke, 

 but in 1678 were sold with the manor by Richard 

 Norton to Sir Thomas Higgons. 38 The tithes were 

 subsequently held by the Series and Sir William 

 Oglander, 39 and are still owned by the lord of the 

 manor.

 held as of his manor of Estgrcnewlch.' 

 Before this, in 1501, the following state- 

 ment occurs in the records of the visita- 

 tion of Winchester diocese concerning 

 the church of Weston Corbett : ' Ecclcsia 



est inofficiatn, Thomas Wheler, firmarius.' 

 Then it was probably a parish with a 

 church, but no parish priest, and Thomas 

 Wheler took the revenues, paying annual 

 rent for the ' farm ' thereof, but by whom 

 it was ' farmed ' out to him does not 

 appear ; ex inform. Mr. T. H. Wyatt.
