A HISTORY OF SURREY 



Leigh of Addington, 46 to avoid making sale ' of any 

 lands of his more ancient inheritance.' This convey- 

 ance was probably in trust, for in the same year it 

 was acquired by George Evelyn of Wotton. 46 The 

 whole manor is still in the possession of the Evelyn 

 family. 47 



The Domesday entry for PADDINGTON (Patis- 

 dene, Patinden, xii cent. ; Padyngden, xvi cent.), 

 afterwards known as PADDINGTON PEMBROKE, 

 states that William Fitz-Ansculf then held it, and that 

 a huscarle had held it of King Edward. 48 The over- 

 lordship passed, as in the case of Abinger, with the 

 honour of Dudley. 49 



The first notice of immediate lords of the 

 manor occurs in 1188, when William Buffere 50 paid 

 seven pounds fourteen shillings towards the ferm 

 of Paddington. William Buffere gave shelter 

 to a certain outlaw named Avice Wylekin, 

 which occasioned the forfeiture of his lands to the 

 Crown. 51 A grant was then made to Alan Trencher- 

 man, lord of Gomshall, who is described as holding 

 the 'vill' of Paddington ;** his tenure marks the 

 beginning of a close connexion which apparently 

 existed between a portion of Paddington and the 

 manor of Gomshall. At Alan's death Paddington 

 reverted to the Crown, and was then granted to 

 William de Braose, 58 who fell under King John's dis- 

 pleasure, and had to flee from England. He died 



abroad, and his wife and son were put to death by 

 order of King John." Paddington meanwhile was 

 granted to Peter de Maulay," but afterwards Giles, 

 Bishop of Hereford, a younger son of William de 

 Braose, succeeded in recovering it. 66 Reginald, bro- 

 ther of Giles, was the next 

 lord ; he was succeeded by 

 his son William," who met 

 his death in the Welsh wars. 

 Paddington then passed to 

 Eva, daughter of William de 

 Braose, who had married Wil- 

 liam de Cantlow," and on 

 the death of her son George 

 without issue the manor passed 

 to John, son of his sister 

 Joan by Henry de Hast- 

 ings. 59 John de Hastings died 

 seised in 1325, leaving a son and heir Lawrence. 60 

 Part of the manor seems to have been leased by Law- 

 rence to his nephew, William de Hastings, whose 

 tenure was probably, by the date of his death, ended 

 by the Black Death of 1 349. The inquisition on 

 his death is among the many evidences of the 

 severity of the visitation, for it records that 

 almost all the tenants were then dead. 61 John 

 son and heir of Lawrence committed Paddington 

 to the charge of trustees, who apparently held it for 



HASTINGS, Earl of 

 Pembroke. Or a ileeve 

 gules.
