but, by a deed made in 1245, Henry III. granted it to Raymund de 

 Laik (Lucas), who likewise held it by a cross-bow. At his death, his 

 daughter Isabella inherited the lands, and on her decease, after some liti- 

 gation, her son Gatelier, or Gacelin, obtained possession of the property. 

 From the Gatelier or Gacelin family this manor passed next into that of 

 the.Roges, and on that family becoming extinct in 1302 it again reverted 

 to the sovereign. That same year Edward I. granted it to Thomas 

 Corbet, who, some say, was his valet, and from him it passed successively, 

 by purchase, to the Morleys, Braytons, and Willoughbys. But as these 

 alienations were made without the king's consent, the manor was seized 

 by Edward III.; he, however, re-granted it afterwards to Sir William 

 Willoughby and his wife, although they were obliged to pay to the king a 

 fine of one hundred shillings annually. They were allowed to let this 

 manor in 1353 to William and Nicholas de Carru as this family spelt their 

 name at that time at twenty marcs per annum, on the agreement that 

 the manor was to revert to the said Willoughby and his wife on the 

 deaths of the tenants. And in 1360 the same Sir Willoughby also 

 had licence to alienate the fee simple to Nicholas de Carru and his 

 heirs ; the value of it being one hundred shillings per annum. Sir William 

 Willoughby had but one daughter : she married Sir Thomas Huscarle, 

 Knt, proprietor of the other manor in Beddington ; and, on his death, 

 she contracted another marriage with Nicholas de Carru. So that in the 

 reign of Edward III. the two manors in Beddington became united. 

 There is very little known about the manor of which Huscarle was the 

 last proprietor. It is recorded in Domesday Book, that Milo Crispin 

 Earl of Hereford held it, and that William son of Turold held it of him. 

 Two mills are also mentioned as being in it, of the value of thirty-five 

 shillings (^105). It seems that so early as the reign of King John the 

 Huscarles possessed land in Beddington. The Carews, to whom the two 

 manors belonged, on the marriage of Nicholas de Carru with Lucy, 

 daughter of Sir William Willoughby, and widow of Sir Thomas Hus- 

 carle, are descended from one Otho, who came over to England in the 

 Conqueror's time. The name of Carru was taken by one William, in 

 the reign of King John, from a castle in Pembrokeshire called Carrio
