Hartswood in Buckland." In 1589 William Poyntz, 

 brother-in-law and heir of Skinner, was lord of the 

 manor ; 50 it afterwards passed to Richard Elyot of Al- 

 bury, nephew, and in default of male heirs to Poyntz's 

 son John, heir of the same John Skinner, 51 being the 

 son of his sister Elizabeth. Richard died in 1608." 

 The manor was afterwards held by his brother or uncle 

 Thomas Elyot, 53 and in 1620 was, with the park, con- 

 veyed by him and other members of this family to Sir 

 William Garway." In 1632 it was held by Lionel 

 Wright, who sold it in that year to John Hatt and 

 Elizabeth his wife, receiving in the following year a 

 ninety-nine-years' lease of the capital messuage and 

 mansion house belonging to the manor." By 1653 

 it was in the possession of 

 the family of Moore. M Susan 

 daughter and heir of Thomas 

 Moore, who died about 1676, 

 married Robert Bristow." Af- 

 ter her husband's death, she 

 and trustees conveyed the 

 manor in 1718 to Sir Wil- 

 liam Scawen," in whose family 

 it remained until 1781, when 

 James Scawen sold it to Sir 

 Merrick Burrell. 59 Sir Peter 

 Burrell, great-nephew of Sir 

 Merrick, inherited the latter's 

 estates in 1787,* and sold the 

 manor shortly afterwards to William Glutton." The 

 property is still in this family. Mr. Ralph William 

 Glutton is present owner. 



The church of OUR LADY consists 

 CHURCH of a chancel 2 2 ft. 2 in. by 19 ft. 6 in., 

 small north transept or vestry 1 1 ft. by 9 ft., 

 nave 44 ft. 6 in. by 2 1 ft. 8 in., and a south porch. 



The church was rebuilt in 1860, and has no archi- 

 tectural details earlier than this date, and all the 

 fittings are modern. The walls are built of ironstone 

 rubble, and the window tracery is of 14th-century 

 style. The bells are hung in a shingled wood turret 

 with a spire, rising above the roof at the west end of 

 the nave, and supported on wooden posts from the floor. 



In two of the windows is some old stained glass. 

 The south-west window of the nave has a figure of 

 St. Peter holding the two keys ; the head and keys, 

 although old, have the appearance of being later than 

 the rest of the figure ; the canopy work (with the 

 name below) is generally modern, but has some old 

 foliage in red and blue set in it ; the head of the 

 canopy is apparently old. The other window at the 

 north-east of the nave has the figure of St. Paul ; on 

 this again the head and sword are less worn than the 

 rest of the figure. There are six bells, all by Warner ; 

 the three largest were recast in 1900 from three by 

 William Eldridge dated 1681 ; the third is dated 

 1900, the second 1860, and the treble 1892. 



The plate was stolen in 1850, but a set was given 

 to replace it by the then rector, Dr. Hulse, consisting 

 of a cup and cover, a paten, a flagon, and two plates. 

 There are also two silver candlesticks of 1691, a paten 

 of 1894, two cruets of 1893, and a flagon of 1907. 

 There is a note in the register mentioning the com- 

 plete restoration of the church and rebuilding of the 

 chancel in 1859-60, at a cost of 2,253. 



The registers date from 1560, but are an i8th-cen- 

 tury transcript. The first volume contains two books 

 of unequal size in parchment bound together ; the 

 first part has baptisms, marriages, and burials to 1667 

 with one baptism of 1675, and the second baptisms 

 and burials to 1776 and marriages to 1753. The 

 second book contains marriages from 175410 1812, 

 and the third baptisms and burials from 1777 to 

 1812. 



The Domesday Survey records the 

 ADVQWSQN existence of a church at Buckland. 

 From its foundation it belonged to 

 the manor of Buckland, and was held with it as ' the 

 church of the manor,' until 1567, the patronage 

 being in the hands of the lord of the manor. 6 * 

 When Lord Lumley conveyed the manor to Pelham 

 and Dallender in 1567, however, he retained the 

 advowson of the church, and was possessed of it at 

 his death in i6c>9. 6S His heir was Henry Lloyd, 

 son of his sister Barbara. 66 In 1628 Henry Lloyd 

 alias Fludd held the advow- 

 son. 67 Lloyd sold it to All 

 Souls College, Oxford, for 

 335, on 18 February lo^g. 63 

 But in 1658 the Parliamentary 

 Commissioners found that 

 George Browne, lord of the 

 manor, held the advowson. 69 

 Probably the royalist college 

 had been deprived during the 

 Civil War. In 1661 Lloyd 

 had resumed possession, pre- 

 sumably as a step in the re- 

 storation of the advowson to 

 the college, which held it 

 in 1 674, and still holds. 



In 1704 Laurence Denton left 

 CHARITIES 3O/. a year rent from a meadow since 

 called Poor's Land, for relief of poor 

 not receiving parish relief. It is now worth 6 6s. 

 a year. In 1733 Mr. John Brown, lord of the manor, 

 left three acres for a similar purpose. This is now 

 represented by a sum in consols. A Mr. William 

 Cooke left 65 4*. \d. consols. 



The above are all consolidated with Smith's charity, 

 and applied for general purposes of medical relief, 

 nursing, provident clubs, or temporary loans. 



Smith's charity is distributed as in other Surrey 

 parishes.
