COPTHORNE HUNDRED 



BANSTEAD 



Greek, in 1752 stayed at Nork House, and describes 

 at length the ingenious waterworks by which water 

 was raised from a very deep well and distributed over 

 the slopes of a dry down. 



Record is found of a capital messuage at Burgh in 

 1345." In 1432 Beatrice widow of Thomas 

 Hayton held part of the site of the manor as dower, 

 her portion including two high rooms and two low 

 ones in the south part of the hall (aula), a third part 

 of the kitchen, of the ' Baggehous ' and of the oven, 

 two gerners, a barn, a stable covered with tiles, parts 

 of buildings called the ' Sidyrhous,' the ' Wrenge- 

 hows,' and the 'Wellehous,' with a third of the 

 garden opposite the hall and various other inclosures." 1 



The later house was probably built by William 

 Merland, who held the manor from 1598 to 1614. 

 It is said to have been a Jacobean house. In the 

 windows were the arms of the Buckles. It was pulled 

 down by the late Lord Egmont about twenty-five 

 years ago. 



A manor called LITTLE BARROW was held 

 in demesne as of fee by Thomas Barowe in the 1 5th 

 century." 3 By his will Katherine, a daughter of 

 William Broke, was to receive the issues and profits 

 of the manor for 28 years after his death, or, if she 

 married, they were to be delivered to her husband. 

 Barowe enfeoffed Thomas Wode to carry out these 

 provisions. Katherine married James Warner, who 

 received all issues from 1473 until 1486, when, by 

 agreement, he sold them to John son and heir of 

 Thomas Barowe. 114 John then brought a suit against 

 Thomas Wode, who refused to be party to the trans- 

 action, 115 but the result is not apparent. Manning 

 states that a rental of 1531 gives Richard Covert as 

 lord of this manor, his son George afterwards holding. 

 According to the same authority, Christopher Buckle 

 of Burgh held in i66i. 116 The manor of Little 

 Barrow afterwards descended 

 with Burgh (q.v.), with which 

 it is at present held. 



The manor of PERROTTS 

 in this parish belonged in the 

 1 6th century to the family of 

 Charlwood. The earliest court 

 of which record exists was held 

 in 1447."' In 1515 Nicholas 

 Charlwood sold it to John Lam- 

 bert of Woodmansterne, who 

 possibly was connected with the 

 family of Lampet, Lomputte, or 

 Lampert, who were settled in Banstead in the 1 4th 

 century. 118 It descended from John Lambert, the pur- 

 chaser, to Roger his second son, who married Kathe- 

 rine Causton. Roger, the eldest son of Roger, sold the 

 manor to the second son John, the quit-claim being 

 made in 1573.'" John the eldest son of this John

married Katherine Moys of Canons (q.v.). He was 

 Marshal of the Hall to King James I, and fought for 

 King Charles. To escape sequestration of his estates 

 he conveyed Perrotts to a younger brother Edward. 110 

 It afterwards passed to the latter's fifth son Daniel, 

 who purchased it from his elder brother Nicholas. 121 

 Thomas eldest son of Daniel sold the manor to his 

 brother Daniel, the third son, who was Lord Mayor 

 of London in 1741, and was knighted in I743. 1M 

 He died without issue in 1750, leaving Perrotts to his 

 nephew, also named Daniel, who died in 1765.'" The 

 manor is still in possession of this family. Mr. Daniel 

 Henry Lambert, son of the late Benjamin Lambert, 

 of Well House, at present holds. The last court was 

 held about 1866, the last copyhold tenant, Mr. Bonsor, 

 M.P., enfranchised not long since; only a bare seignory 

 therefore remains to the lord. 1 " The manor-house 

 mentioned in a deed of 1680 as having been recently 

 rebuilt stood on the slope facing Rydon Hill. It was 

 pulled down about 1760, when the family moved to 

 the Well House in Banstead. 



The first mention of the manor of PRESTON 

 occurs in 1316-17, when John de Chetwode, sen., 

 settled it on himself for life 

 with remainder to his son John 

 and Lucy his wife and their 

 heirs. 1 " Almost a century pre- 

 viously a Ralph de Chetwode 

 had held io/. rent in Burgh, 

 so it is probable that the family 

 had long been holding land in 

 Banstead. 1 ' 6 In 1 346 Sir John 

 de Chetwode, kt., and Lucy 

 his wife, settled the manor on 

 Nicholas, apparently their son, 

 and Elizabeth his wife. 1 " In 

 1 384 John de Bures was said to 

 hold a cottage at Burgh of Thomas Hayton as of the 

 manor of Preston. 118 Hayton, however, who after- 

 wards held Burgh (q.v.), did not die seised of Pres- 

 ton ; lw probably, therefore, he was a trustee for the 

 Chetwode family, or held the manor for a term of 

 years only, as, according to Manning, Sir Thomas 

 Chetwode, grandson of Nicholas, afterwards held the 

 manor, and in 1473 his sister and heir Elizabeth, 

 then wife of William Woodhall, released it to Richard 

 Illyngworth and others, trustees for Henry Merland. 1M 

 Richard son of Henry Merland died seised of the 

 manor in 1 506, holding also that of Burgh, 1 ' 1 and the 

 two manors have since been held together." 1 



William de Braose, lord of Bramber, held Tadorne 

 (NORTH T4DWORTH)m 1 086 as half a hide,Halsart 

 being his tenant ; Godtovi had held it of King Harold 

 and could seek what lord he pleased. 133 In the early 

 1 3th century William Haunsard held a fee in Book- 

 ham and Tadworth of the honour of Brembre

118 In 1086 Adam on of Hubert 

 held a house in Banstead, and he also 

 held of the bishop one hide in Wallington 

 Hundred, which had never paid geld. 

 This hide may probably be added to the 29 

 of Banstead to make up the usual round 

 number, and is very probably Little Barrow 

 or Burgh. V.C.H. Surr. i, 303-14.
