A HISTORY OF SURREY 





TURNOUK. Nine fieeet 

 erminea and argent -with 

 four mill-ttone turnert 

 lablt in the argent. 



Turnor succeeded, and, dying in or before 1724, left 

 his son Edward heir. Edward by his will (proved 

 I July 1736) left his estates to his cousin Sarah, 

 daughter of his father's elder 

 brother Sir Edward, 76 and wife 

 of Francis Gee, whose daugh- 

 ter, also named Sarah, married 

 Joseph Garth. Their son Ed- 

 ward, first Earl Winterton, 77 

 thus inherited Down, and his 

 son, Edward, second Earl Win- 

 terton, was in possession in 

 l8o8. 78 Between 1831 and 

 1838 the third earl sold it to 

 Mr. James Mangles, M.P. for 

 Guildford in 1831, 1832, and 

 1835. Mr. Mangles died in 

 1838. The property was set- 

 tled for life on Mrs. Mangles. Mr. Frederick 

 Mangles his son lived there. About 1859 it was sold 

 to Mr. Faviell, who rebuilt the house. Mr. Bett 

 bought it in 1890, and Mrs. Bett now lives there. 



FIELD PLACE was parcel of the possessions of 

 Henry of Guildford, 80 who held a part of it of Wal- 

 ter of Wintershull in 1312. It was occupied by a 

 Matilda atte Felde apparently in 1 343 ; 81 and by Ber- 

 nard Brocas in I349- 8 ' He was rector of St. Nicholas 

 Guildford. 



Later it is named amongst the lands forfeited by 

 Sir Thomas St. Leger, 8 * after which it was, like Down, 

 granted to William Mistelbroke, 84 but afterwards re- 

 verted to St. Leger's daughter 

 Anne wife of George Man- 

 ners, Lord Roos. 85 His sons, 

 Thomas, Earl of Rutland, and 

 Sir Richard Manners, kt., sold 

 Field Place to Thomas Hall 

 and his wife Joan in I542. 86 

 After her husband's death Joan 

 married James Rokley, who 

 held the manor in her right. 87 

 It descended to her son, George 

 Hall. 88 His widow Juliana 

 married a Thomas Washington 

 about 1569-72, and George's 

 only child Elizabeth Hall married Robert Quenell be- 

 fore 1 5 8o. 89 The Washingtons and Quenells of Chid- 

 dingfold were jointly interested in the manor in 1585.* 



MANNERS, Lord Roos. 

 Or two tars azure and a 

 chief gulei. 



Robert and Elizabeth Quenell had a son Peter who 

 resided at Lythe Hill, Haslemere. 91 Robert died in 

 1612. Peter Quenell the son, who held his first 

 court in 1615, had a son Peter born in 1603," who 

 married in 1628 Elizabeth Grey, and resided at 

 Field Place, holding a court in 1635, though his 

 father the older Peter did not die till i65o. 93 

 Peter the younger was already owner. 91 He died in 

 1666 and was buried at Compton. His will was 

 proved by his widow Elizabeth, 95 who was assessed 

 for hearth tax at Compton circa 1 67 5. ^ His son Peter 

 died in 1 684," leaving two daughters, minors : Eliza- 

 beth subsequently wife of Robert Beare and Joan 

 subsequently wife of John Waight, to whom Field 

 Place descended in moieties. 98 



In 1 709 John and Joan Waight, Nathan and Eliza- 

 beth Hickman, and sundry mortgagees joined in a 

 conveyance of the whole manor to Samuel Manship. 99 

 His widow Anne held a court in 1726. Their son 

 John Manship held a court in 1738 and died in 

 1751. His son John did not come into possession 

 till his mother's death in 1788, and was holding still 

 in i8o8. lo Soon after this the manor was purchased 

 by George Smallpeice, 101 who died in 1853. After his 

 widow's death in 1869 it passed to his nephew Job 

 Smallpeice. He sold it to Mr. John King before 

 21 May 1875. Mr. John King died 15 May 1893. 

 Mrs. King his widow died 16 August 1902, after 

 which date the estate was sold to Colonel Annand. 



POLSTED, the most easterly part of the parish, 

 was distinguished from the main manor of Compton I0 * 

 early in the reign of Richard I, for in 1 1 96 Walter de 

 Windsor warranted it to Hugh of Foisted and his wife 

 Cecily to hold by knight's service, 10 * while in 1199 

 mention is made of a house which had belonged to 

 Gerard of Foisted and to the land of Richard the 

 Reeve (frepositus) of Foisted. 104 At the time of the 

 confirmation to Hugh of Foisted William de Astinges 

 was laying claim to the service from the manor, but 

 apparently failed to prove his right to it, for in 1219 

 Michael of Foisted, probably a son of Hugh, obtained 

 confirmation of his land in Foisted from William de 

 Windsor. 105 In 1261 a second Hugh of Foisted con- 

 veyed the manor to Simon Passelew and his heirs. 100 

 About ten years later John de Middleton conveyed 

 the manor to William of Wintershull, 107 on whose 

 younger son Walter it was settled, together with 

 Bramley (q.v.). IOS In 1308-9 John de Foisted

lra Cecily de Compton held three half- 

 knights' fees, c. 1 20 1 (Rid Bk. Excb. 

 Rolls Ser. i, 148). Possibly, therefore, 

 her holding included Foisted and Down 

 as well as Compton, but the three were 

 held separately of the De Windsors a few 

 years afterwards (Testa de Nevill [Rec. 

 Com.], 210).
