in 1643,'" and again in 1657.'" His two children 

 died in infancy. 145 In 1679 Isabel More, spinster, 

 was in possession of the manor and sold it to Ralph 

 Lee, executor to Simon Bennett of Calverton, 1 " 

 whose daughters, Frances wife of James fourth Earl 

 of Salisbury 148 and Grace wife of John Bennett, held 

 it in moiety. The fifth Earl of Salisbury had the 

 remainder of Grace Bennett's share." 9 



James first Marquis of Salisbury sold Hurtmore in 

 1786 to John Richardson of Shackleford, 160 whose 

 heir, John Aldborough Richardson, was in possession 

 in 1804."" 



In 1814 he and his wife sold Hurtmore to William 

 Keen. William Keen sold in 1828 to James Henry 

 Frankland and Mary his wife of Bashing. Mr. 

 Frankland died in 1859. His son Major Frankland 

 took the name of Gill, and died unmarried in 1866. 

 Hurtmore passed to his sister, Mrs. Sumner, and from 

 her to her niece, Miss Kerr. 161 



Though the conveyance of Hurtmore in 1598 

 ascribes a court leet to it, 163 and though it is spoken 

 of as a manor, it is doubtful if it really was such. 

 No court baron can be traced, and the assertion 

 about view of frankpledge in a court leet is un- 

 true. The Hurtmore people answered at the Godal- 

 ming hundred court for view of frankpledge except 

 a few who appeared at Compton. Trespasses, &c., in 

 Hurtmore are continually noticed in the Godalming 

 courts. 



One mill is mentioned in the Domesday Survey 

 of the manor, 164 and mention is made of mills in 

 Thomas of Hurtmore's grant to Newark Priory. 1 * 4 



T4TLORS was held by Nicholas Taillard in 

 I486-7. 168 He conveyed it to Foisted and others, 

 trustees, who enfeoffed Tho- 

 mas Purvoch. His son Tho- 

 mas Purvoch enfeofFed Arnold 

 Champion as purchaser or 

 trustee. 167 Thomas Purvoch 

 junior had a daughter Anne 

 who married Lawrence Raw- 

 sterne. It passed from him to 

 Richard Compton, 168 who had 

 married Agnes daughter of 

 Arnold Champion. 169 Richard's 

 son Thomas brought a suit in 

 1574 against Henry Hooke, 

 who, having married Agnes 



widow of Richard Compton, entered upon the 'manor 

 of Taylors,' which was settled on her for life, and 

 spoiled the woods and suffered the manor-house to 

 decay. 170 Thomas Compton left it to his nephew 

 John Compton in 1 606. irl This Sir John Compton 

 died seised in 1653. His grandson and heir was Comp-

f.AN'N (Fenne, xii and xiii cents. ; Fanne, xiv 

 and xv cents.), on the borders of Hambledon and 

 Chiddingfold, was really a tithing, 178 but was called 

 a manor later. It is mentioned in a conveyance of 

 1198-9, when Emma, widow of William of Vann, 

 released land there to William of Vann. 179 In 1232 

 Walter of Vann witnessed a grant of land in Arling- 

 ton, 1 " while Laurence of Yately and his wife Isabel 

 granted lands in Godalming and Vann to Thomas of 

 Vann in I279. lsl Thomas atte Vann conveyed Vann 

 to Robert atte Vann and his brother Walter in con- 

 sideration of a life-rent in I324. 18 * It was held of 

 William atte Vann in 1332, Henry Hussey being the 

 tenant. 183 Tenants and tithingmen at Vann occur 

 often in the Godalming Hundred Court. In 1371 

 Walter Webbele surrendered the tenement of William 

 Piperham to Walter atte Vann and his heir. This 

 was Piperham in Haslemere, which subsequently was 

 conveyed as a separate parcel, with the manor of 

 Vann. 184 



Walter atte Vann was subsequently in debt. In 1412 

 John Loxley for ' le Fanne' and Thomas atte Vann pay 

 6d. for leave of absence from the hundred court. 184 

 In 1448 Bernard Jenyn or Jenings was summoned to 

 the court 186 to do fealty, probably for Vann, for 

 in 1476 John Hill and John Mellersh, probably 

 trustees, enfeoffed Bernard Jenings of ' land in the 

 manor of Vann ' in tail male. John son of Bernard 

 succeeded to it at his father's death, 187 and his son
