MAINSBRIDGE HUNDRED 



year, were held by Ingelram Berenger. 81 The extent 

 of these lands appears to have been i o acres of great 

 oakwood, and l 9/. 6</. rent, held of the king in 

 chief, the rent being paid to the sheriff of the 

 county. 81 



John son of Ingelram succeeded his father in 1337, 

 and died seven years later leaving two sons and a 

 daughter Christina as co-heirs, and his wife Emma, 

 who afterwards married Edmund Hakeluyt. 83 



Nicholas, the sole survivor of John's children, 84 

 inherited the estate, which on his death in 1405 was 

 divided between his two daughters, Joan wife of 

 Peter Stantor, and Anastasia wife of Stephen Boden- 

 ham. 8 * The latter survived her sister and became her 

 heir. 86 By her second marriage to Thomas Semeley 

 she left no children, and the lands at Swaythling, at 

 this date called the manor, descended to Robert 

 Bodenham, the son by her first marriage. 67 



During his lifetime he settled Swaythling and Ship- 

 ton Berenger manors upon his sister Anastasia for life, 

 but she predeceased him, and at his own death in 

 1467 they passed to Richard Bodenham his grandson, 

 aged nine months. 88 Before 1480, however, the 

 manor had become the possession of John Hall, who 

 died in that year, leaving Swaythling to his son Wil- 

 liam. 89 Proceedings were taken against the latter in 

 1501, by John Pace, presumably on behalf of the 

 Dudleys, to obtain possession of the manor, and Hall 

 failed to maintain his right. 90 



Swaythling then became the property of Edmund 

 Dudley, the notorious minister of Henry VII, 91 and 

 was sold by his son John in 1538, to John Mill, 9 * in 

 whose family it descended in a direct line to Richard 

 Mill, 9 * who in 1609 settled it among other manors 

 upon his wife Lady Mary Mill for life, reverting at 

 her death to Thomas Savage, 

 son of her brother John. 94 

 Thomas Savage entered into 

 possession in i623, 96 having 

 been created a baronet. He 

 also inherited Nursling (q.v.), 

 the history of which Swayth- 

 ling shares from this date. 96 



ELLINGTON (Ellatune 

 xi cent. ; Aldington xiii cent.) 

 at the time of the Domesday 

 Survey was held by William 

 Alis, it was then assessed at 

 two hides, had a church and two mills worth 2O/. 97 It 

 was later held of the honour of Wallingford, parcel of 

 the Duchy of Cornwall. 98

SOUTH 



STONEHAM 



A grant of the tithes of land in Allington with pan- 

 nage to the newly founded priory of St. Denys, by 

 William Alis, was confirmed by Bishop Godfrey de 

 Lucy in 1204," and a little later a further grant of 

 rents from Allington manor was made by Thomas 

 Alis, with the consent of Roger his father. 100 Roger 

 was still seised in 1223,'' but before 1304 the male 

 line of the family apparently ceased with the death of 

 William Alis, who left his estate to his two daughters, 

 Isabella and Margaret, wives of Robert le Helyon and 

 William le Rolleston, Juliana his widow, who survived 

 him, 101 having a life interest. The moiety inherited 

 by Margaret passed in 1 306 to Richard Woodlock, 10 * 

 who died in 1318 and was succeeded by his son Wil- 

 liam and Margaret his wife. 104 The former apparently 

 predeceased his wife, who was in possession of this 

 portion in 1 347, u ' 4 which on her death passed to John 

 Woodlock and Agnes his wife, who were seised in 



1379-'" 



It is evident that John Woodlock died without male 

 issue, for before 1408 this portion of Allington had 

 passed into the possession of his daughter Joan, wife of 

 William Oysell, 107 and later the wife of William Park. 108 

 She transferred this property in this year to John Frc- 

 mond, steward of Winchester College, who died in 

 1420, and by his will left all his property in Alling- 

 ton, subject to his wife's life interest, 109 to the college 

 to assist in clothing the choristers. In 1306 Robert 

 le Helyon, who had married Isabel, co-heiress of Mar- 

 garet Alis, purchased a certain messuage and land from 

 Valentine de Chaldecote and Ellen his wife. 110 This, 

 together with his wife's moiety of Allington manor, 

 descended in 1326 to Thomas his son, 111 who ap- 

 parently died shortly afterwards, for in 1330 Walter 

 held Robert le Helyon's lands here. 11 ' 



The descent of this moiety for the rest of the four- 

 teenth century is obscure, but it seems probable that 

 it passed in the female line to Amice wife of John 

 More, who was holding it with her husband in 1408, 

 when they granted a portion to John Fromond, 11 * who 

 left it with the other part of Allington manor to 

 Winchester College (q.v.). From Henry their son 

 and his wife Christine the remaining moiety of John 

 More's lands in Allington passed to Nicholas, 114 who 

 died in 1496, when it was divided between his two 

 daughters Joan and Christine, then infants. ns The 

 former survived her sister, who married John Dawtrey 

 and died without issue. 116 Joan therefore inherited 

 the whole estate. She married first William Ludlow, 

 by whom she had a son George, and secondly Robert 

 Temmes. She survived him also and at her death in
