A HISTORY OF SURREY 



standing now as a farm-house at the end of Walnut 

 Tree Close, between the railway and the river. The 

 ' Deer Leap,' or place for taking deer alive, was by 

 the side of the Great Mount, where a path now leads 

 from the mount to the new Farnham road." Mr. 

 Carter was then under-keeper. He was the Mr. 

 John Carter who later received a grant of Guildford 

 Castle. Gorges died in 1610, and John Murray, 

 afterwards Earl of Annandale, succeeded. In 1631 

 Charles I granted it to him in fee-simple, to be held 

 as for a quarter of a knight's fee, and by his heirs for 

 ever." His son, the second earl, died childless, and 

 the Guildford Park Estate was ultimately sold in 1 709 

 to the Hon. Thomas Onslow, afterwards Lord Onslow, 

 and the park was disparked before 1717. The park 

 extended from the road on the Hog's Back to the road 

 between Woodbridge and Worplesdon, and from close 

 to the river to a line of hedges and a green lane east 

 of a small stream and west of Strawberry Grove, which 

 exactly corresponds to the boundary on John Norden's 

 plan. 



West of St. Catherine's Hill stand St. Catherine's 

 House, in which the late Mr. W. More-Molyneux 

 lived, and Mount Browne, the residence of the Dowager 

 Marchioness of Sligo. Littleton School was built by 

 Mr. James More-Molyneux of Loseley in 1843. It 

 has been recently enlarged, and a service is celebrated 

 there on Sundays by a curate of St. Nicholas. It 

 was let to the County Council in 1903. A new 

 school is in course of erection. 



AR TINGTON MANOR was originally 

 MANORS a part of Godalming, from which it was 

 separated by Henry II, who, about the 

 year 1171, bestowed it on Master David of London, 

 an ambassador at Rome. 17 This Master David granted 

 it in fee farm to Ralph de Broc for 15, with whose 

 daughter Stephen de Turnham had it in marriage. 18 

 In 1191 and again in 1 205 Stephen obtained royal 

 confirmations of his right to the manor. 1 ' In 1220, 

 shortly after Stephen's death, his widow Edelina, 

 daughter of Ralph de Broc, put forward her claim to 

 certain rents in Arlington against Stephen's five co- 

 heiresses, Mabel wife of Thomas de Bauelingham, 

 Alice wife of Adam de Bendeng, Eleanor wife of 

 Roger de Layburn, Eleanor wife of Ralph son of 

 Bernard, and Beatrice wife of Ralph de Fay. 10 

 Edelina entered upon the land, but probably only for 

 life. The manor was divided into four portions, of 

 which Mabel de Bauelingham obtained one, the manor 

 of Artington ; Beatrice de Fay a second ; a third 

 portion, which was Alice de Bendeng's, afterwards 

 formed part or the whole of the manor of Braboeuf ; 

 and a fourth became the manor of Piccard's. 



Artington Manor, i.e. the portion of the original 

 manor which was assigned to Mabel de Bauelingham, 

 descended with her manor of Catteshull " till William 

 Weston and his wife Joan sold the latter in 1384 5, but 

 retained Artington." A rent roll of William Weston's 

 lands in Artington, dated 3 November 1 394, is among 

 the Loseley Manuscripts. 13 John Weston of Weston 

 died seised of Artington 1 7 November 1 440, leaving 

 three married daughters, Agnes wife of John atte 

 Hull, Joan wife of John Skynet, and Anne wife of 

 Thomas Slifield." Of these we find that Agnes atte 

 Hull died in widowhood in the year 1488 seised of 

 the manor of Artington, Henry atte Hull being her 

 grandson and heir." The overlordship was conveyed 

 to Sir George More of Godalming, 3 November 

 1 60 1, and the manor of Artington has since been in 

 the family of More of Loseley. Artington Manor 

 Farm was the manor house. 



BRABOEUF MANOR, which extends very widely 

 about St. Catherine's Hill and towards Godalming, 

 includes that portion of Stephen de Turnham's 

 manor which was assigned to his daughter Alice de 

 Bendeng, for she granted her portion of Artington to 

 Geoffrey of Braboeuf in 1232," and he had confirma- 

 tion of the grant in 1 25 1. 17 He had other lands in 

 Artington and Guildford, and in 1257, together with 

 Richard Testard, obtained a royal grant of the sites of 

 old mills in Guildford which they had recently sold to 

 the king, and also of new mills which they were to 

 remove to the site of the old ones. 88 Cicely ' la 

 Braboeuf held a quarter of the manor at ' Artington 

 next Braboeuf at her death in 1 347," probably as 

 dower. John Braboeuf witnessed deeds of Artington 

 in 1337 and again in 1350.* Andrew Braboeuf, 

 son of Andrew and Cecily de Braboeuf, died seised 

 of one quarter of Artington in 13612, leaving a 

 daughter Agnes, 81 who married first Robert Dan- 

 hurst, and secondly, Robert Loxley. At her death 

 her grandson Robert Danhurst inherited her lands. 

 He died s.p.m. in 1481-2, having settled Braboeuf on 

 Bernard Jenyn and his wife Elizabeth, who was niece 

 of Agnes Braboeuf 's second husband Robert Loxley ." 

 Bernard Jenyn settled the manor on his second son 

 Thomas, 33 who died in March 1508-9.** Sir John 

 Jenyn, kt., son of Thomas Jenyn, died holding 

 Braboeuf in 1 545, leaving a son Edward aged five," 

 who died a minor and was succeeded by his aunt 

 Joan, wife of Robert Kemp. 86 Agnes, wife of John 

 Wight of Wimbledon, and daughter of Joan Kemp, 

 was in possession of Braboeuf in 1 5 59," and was 

 succeeded by her son Rice (Riceus) Wight, who 

 died at Artington 31 October 1602. His son John 

 was born in 1674 an< ^ died ' n 1656, his son John died

 It seems probable therefore that Matter 

 David only had a life interest in Arling- 

 ton, and that after hit death Stephen de 

 Turnham held directly of the king, for in 

 later confirmations Stephen is stated to 

 have had it of the gift of Henry II.

 It seems probable that he already possessed 

 a tenement called Braboeuf in Artington. 

 Indeed, in 1496 it was declared that 'the 

 manor of Braboeuf and the manor of Art- 

 ington are not one, nor was any part of it 

 ever part of Arlington.' Memo. R.

 Braboeuf also possessed a part of the 

 original manor of Artington.
