SHALFORD 



Ferrybridge and attainted in 1461." His lands were 

 granted to an usher of Edward IV, Nicholas Gaynes- 

 ford, 33 who was himself attainted at the accession of 

 Richard III." The manor was granted by that 

 king to Sir John Neville. 34 On the accession of 

 Henry VII it was restored to Henry, Lord Clifford, 

 ' the shepherd lord,' with the other possessions of his 

 father, John, Lord Clifford. 36 His grandson Henry, 

 second Earl of Cumberland, sold Shalford to Sir 

 Anthony Browne in January 1 5434." Sir Anthony 

 had inherited Shalford Bradestan, the other moiety of 

 the original manor. Thus the two moieties were re- 

 united and descended to Sir Anthony's son, who was 

 created Viscount Montagu in I554-* 8 Francis, 

 third viscount, sold the manor to Sir John Nicholas 

 in 1677." In 1733 the executors of Edward Nicholas, 

 his son, who died in 1726, sold the manor to Thomas, 

 Lord Onslow, 40 in whose family it has since remained, 

 the present owner being William Hillier, Earl of 

 Onslow. 



When the manor was taken into the king's hands 

 in 1333 (vide supra) the custody of SH4LFORD 

 BR4DEST4N, the second moiety of Shalford, was 

 granted successively to William 

 Hatton, Henry Hussey, and 

 Thomas de Ponings. 41 The 

 last held it for life. At his 

 death it was granted in tail to 

 Sir Thomas de Bradestan, 

 from whom it obtained the 

 name of Shalford Bradestan. 

 He was succeeded in 1360 

 by his grandson and heir 

 Thomas," who died a minor 

 in 1374, l eav ' n g an infant 

 daughter Elizabeth, 41 who mar- 

 ried Walter de la Pole. 44 He 

 died seised of Shalford Bradestan in right of his wife in 

 1434." Their grandson Sir Edmund Ingaldesthorp, 

 kt., inherited the manor. 4 * At his death in 1456 

 his widow Joan held the manor in dower, her hus- 

 band's heirs being the children of his daughter Isabel, 

 Marchioness Montagu. One of these, Lucy Fitz 

 William, inherited Shalford Bradestan at Joan's death 

 in 1494," and bequeathed it to her son William 

 Fitz William and his wife Mabel 48 for life, with rever- 

 sion to her son Sir Anthony Browne, who had pur- 

 chased the other part of Shalford Clifford (vide supra), so 

 that the whole was reunited and descended as above. 

 The demesne of the whole manor called East Shalford 

 Manor was purchased in 1779 by Robert Austen,

There was a custom that the 

 lord of Shalford might tally 

 his bond-tenants loos, year- 

 ly. 49 In the 1 3th century John 

 son of Geoffrey, lord of Shiere, 

 unjustly appropriated view of 

 frankpledge to himself there. 50 

 The right of free warren was 

 appurtenant to the manor. 41 

 In the 1 4th century the lords 

 of Shalford Clifford and Brade- 

 stan paid Romscot to the vicar 

 of Shalford. 4 ' 



The early history of the reputed manor of UN- 

 STEAD (Townhampstead, Ownstead, or Unsted, 

 xvi cent.) is obscure. In 1256-7 William de 

 Wintershull acquired land in Dunsfold, Hascombe, 

 Bramley, and ' Tunchamstede,' from Geoffrey de 

 Braboeuf." Late in the 1 3th century William son 

 of Eustace of East Catteshull granted lands in East 

 Catteshull in Bramley to John son of Ralph de Ton- 

 hamstede, in exchange for land called Pinnokesland. 54 



In 1385 William Webbe complained at the Godalm- 

 ing Hundred Court of trespass upon his land at 

 ' Tunhamstede.' " Later in the 1 5th century Henry 

 Stoughton was seised of Unstead, and his son Thomas 

 was in possession in 1459-90. 



Thomas had a son Gilbert, and in 1517 Gilbert 

 Stoughton died seised of Unstead, held of the manor 

 of Selhurst (or Wintershull), his son Laurence being 

 his heir. 46 



In 1 547 Laurence Stoughton conveyed it to John 

 Parvish, jun., in exchange for lands in Stoke. 47 John 

 Parvish of Unstead was buried in I583. 48 His 

 nephew Thomas Parvish sold the manor in 1588 to 

 his cousin Henry Parvish, citizen and haberdasher of 

 London, who died 4 August 1593, having settled his 

 estate on his sons and their heirs female. 59 



The capital messuage was bought in 1608 by Sir 

 George More of Loseley from Gabriel Parvish, son 

 of Henry, 60 and he in 1609 conveyed to George 

 Austen, 61 who died seised of it in 1621, and was 

 succeeded by his son John. 61 He sold it in 1626 

 to the trustees of Henry Smith's Charity in Godalm- 

 ing, 63 and they conveyed it to the Corporation of 

 Godalming for a sewage farm in 1894. 



The reputed manor was apparently divided among 

 the Parvish family, and Unstead Manor Farm was 

 a possession of the Onslow family during the I7th
