A HISTORY OF SURREY 



proved in September 1765, devised Burstow to his 

 cousin James Harris, with remainder to the latter's 

 sons, and in default of such to Mrs. Bridget Hand, 

 sister of James Harris, and her sons in turn.' 6 By 

 1779 tne ni.anor was in possession of Christopher, 

 the elder fon." After his death the second son 

 James b'ecame lord, and held as late as iSoS. 38 

 Thongs Bainbridge, who died in 1830, is described 

 as/3't' Burstow,* 9 and his son John Hugh Bainbridge 

 'was lord of the manor in 1 84 1. 40 He sold it before 

 his death in 1877, for in 1870, and as late as 1887, 

 Henry Kelsey of Burstow Park was lord of the manor. 

 It was sold in 1888 by Mr. Kelsey's executors to 

 Mr. Alfred Howard Lloyd, who holds at present. 



In 1 247 a grant of free warren was made to the 

 lord of the manor and his heirs ; at the same time he 

 also received a grant of a weekly market on Tuesdays 

 and an annual fair to be held on the vigil, feast, and 

 morrow of St. Michael." 



In 1329 Roger son of Roger atte Logge of 

 Burstow granted to Roger son of Ralph Salaman 

 lands and tenements in Burstow, Nutfield, and Horley, 

 consisting of a messuage, 3 60 acres of land, 1 2 acres of 

 meadow, I o acres of wood, and zos. rent, part of which 

 formed the dower of Agnes wife of Roger atte Logge." 

 These are evidently the lands and tenements called 

 ' La Logge ' of which Roger Salaman died seised in 

 1343," and which were afterwards known as the 

 manor of LODGE or BURSTOW LODGE. Roger 

 Salaman held of John de Burstow, lord of the manor 

 of Burstow, by service of z6s. and suit of court. 44 

 His son Roger left a daughter and heir, who married 

 Thomas Codyngton of Codyngton 45 and brought 

 the manor to this family, though it evidently passed 

 to a different branch afterwards, as Thomjas Codyngton 

 left an only child Rose, married to John Jordan of 

 Gatwick, who does not appear to have held the 

 manor. According to Manning a settlement was 

 made by which, in default probably of male heirs to 

 Codyngton, the manor passed to another Thomas 

 Codyngton, a goldsmith in London. 46 In 1470 

 Margaret widow of Thomas Codyngton quitclaimed 

 to her son John Codyngton ' the manor called le 

 Logge ' in Surrey. 4 ' He held a court as late as 

 1 49 1 -2. 48 In 1538 the manor was held by Richard 

 St. Myghell alias Codyngton. 49 It is probable that the 

 manor had passed to an heiress, perhaps Elizabeth 

 Cornwayles, who is said to have held a court in 1511, 

 and whose son by a second husband, or perhaps her 

 grandson, Richard St. Myghell, on inheriting his 

 mother's lands, took her maiden name in addition to 

 his own. 



In 1538 Richard St. Myghell alias Codyngton and 



Elizabeth his wife enfeoffed Thomas Fromond of the 

 manor ; " he held it of Sir John Gage of Burstow 

 for rent of 39*. 8^., and died in 1542, leaving a son 

 Bartholomew," who was in turn succeeded by his 

 son William and grandson Bartholomew. 53 The 

 latter died before 1652, by which date his widow 

 had married again, her second husband being 

 William Howard, who held the manor for some years. 54 

 After the death of William and Elizabeth the manor 

 passed to Mary daughter and co-heir of Bartholomew 

 Fromond and Elizabeth, who had married Richard 

 Walmesley." Catherine, granddaughter of Richard 

 and Mary and sole heir to her father Bartholomew 

 Walmesley, who died in 1701 and whose son 

 died in infancy, married Robert, Lord Petre, 56 and 

 held the manor in her own right." She lived until 

 1788," but before that time she had vested the 

 manor in her grandson and heir Robert Edward, 

 ninth Lord Petre, as in 1785 he joined with his son 

 Robert Edward in conveying it to Melancthon 

 Saunders, 5 ' who was a representative of the younger 

 branch of the Sanders of Charlwood. 60 He held it 

 in 1 808." It now no longer exists as a manor. 



Land in Burstow called BURSTOW PARK be- 

 longedatan early date to the Archbishops of Canterbury, 

 to whose manor of Wimbledon it was attached. 6 * In 

 the early 1 3th century reference is made to land in 

 Burstow ' lying to the south of the park of H. Arch- 

 bishop of Canterbury,' the 

 reference evidently being to 

 Hubert, who was archbishop 

 until 1 205.** 



During the vacancy of this 

 see in the time of Edward I 

 or Edward II an account of 

 5 is. 7</. was rendered for the 

 sale of three oaks and ashes in 

 the archbishop's park of Bur- 

 stow. 64 In 1328 a commis- 

 sion was issued against evil- 

 doers who had entered the 

 parks of the archbishop's 

 ' manors ' of Croydon, Wim- 

 bledon, Burstow, Wyke, &c. 63 



In 1531 Burstow Park was 

 leased to Sir John Gage of Bur- 

 stow for a term of eighty years 

 at an annual rent of ll, 'the deer therein being 

 reserved to the Archbishop of Canterbury until the 

 following Christmas.' " In 1 5 36 the archbishop made 

 an exchange of lands with the king, the latter receiv- 

 ing, among other lands, the manor of Wimbledon and 

 all parcels and members of the said manor. 67 The king
