A HISTORY OF SURREY 



manor in 1834. His grandson, Mr. H. Barclay, 

 sold the manor in 1882 to Mr. William Keswick, 

 M.P., 16 to whom it now belongs. 



The monks of Chertsey obtained a grant of a 

 weekly market on Tuesday, and a two-days' fair on 

 the eve and day of Michaelmas." The latter was 

 maintained until 1 792, but abandoned very shortly 

 after." 



In the survey of Surrey taken in I 549, it is stated 

 that John Gardyner, sen., holds in Great Bookham a 

 curtilage formerly of John Gardyner, on which was 

 built a horse-mill, and a cottage with a curtilage 

 formerly belonging to the schoolhouse. 18 



The reputed manor of EJSTlflCK'm Great Book- 

 ham appears to have been held by the Dabernon 

 family, certainly as early as the reign of Edward I, 

 and John Dabernon, kt.', was holding land in Book- 

 ham in 1273." 



In 1327 Sir John Dabernon, his son (see Stoke 

 D'Abernon), died seised of 80 acres of land in Eastwick 

 in Bookham, held of the Abbot of Chertsey, leaving 

 his son and heir of the same name of full age,* 

 who in 1335 conceded to Robert de Aylynchagh 

 and Walter atte Welle a curtilage called ' Clerke- 

 shagh ' and a field called ' La Vynye ' at Aylynchagh 

 in Great Bookham," the latter probably representing 

 the messuage and lands called ' Vines ' mentioned as 

 forming part of the manor of Eastwick in 1571," and 

 the name of which is preserved to the present day in 

 Phenice Farm. 



William Dabernon, son of John, died in 1359, 

 leaving a daughter Elizabeth, wife of William Croy- 

 ser,* 3 and afterwards of John de Grey de Ruthyn, in 

 conjunction with whom in 1391 she conveyed the 

 manor of Eastwick to trustees." William Croyser, 

 on of Elizabeth and William,' 5 had a daughter 

 Anne,' 6 who married first Sir Ingelram Bruyn," and 

 afterwards Sir Henry Norbury, in conjunction with 

 whom in 1436 she conveyed the manor to trustees,* 8 

 who in 1439 re-conveyed the manor to Henry and 

 Anne and their heirs." Sir John Norbury, son of 

 Henry and Anne, had a daughter Anne, married to 

 Sir Richard Haleighwell, 80 by whom she had a daugh- 

 ter and heir, Joan, or Jane, who settled the manor 

 upon herself and her first " husband, Sir Edmund 

 Bray, kt., Lord Bray, for their lives, with remainder 

 to their son and heir, John, Lord Bray." The latter 

 in 1547 sold all his lands in Effingham and Bookham 

 to Thomas Lyfield, 33 who married Frances, sister and 

 co-heir of Lord Bray,' 4 with whom in 1571 he joined 

 in conveying the manor to Ralph Stevyn.* 4 In 1584 

 John Stevyn and Elizabeth his wife were in posses- 

 sion of the manor," and in 1608 Edward Stevyn, 



husbandman, son and heir of John Stevyn, yeoman, 

 deceased, in conjunction with his brothers John, 

 ' shereman,' William, husbandman, Ralph, husband- 

 man, and Richard, weaver, sold the manor and farm 

 of Eastwick to John Browne of Esher for the sum of 

 j32O." At a court of survey held for the manor of 

 Great Bookham in 1614, John Browne was found to 

 hold the whole and entire manor and demesnes of 

 Eastwick, with the rents and services of the free and 

 customary tenants, as it lay intermixed in the parish 

 and fields of Great Bookham. 58 



In 1626 John Morrice and Grace his wife and 

 William Cooke conveyed the manor to Sir Francis 

 Howard, lord of Great Bookham, who made Eastwick 

 his residence, and from this date the history of the 

 manor follows that of Great Bookham until 1809, 

 when Mr. Laurell (vide Great Bookham) sold East- 

 wick to Louis Bazalgette, who died in 1830." In 

 1833 it was purchased of his executors by Mr. David 

 Barclay. 40 His son, Mr. H. D. Barclay, died as 

 owner of Eastwick in 1873. Mr. H. Barclay, his 

 son, sold the property, and it now belongs to 

 Mr. William Keswick, M.P., being merged in the 

 manor of Great Bookham. 



Eastwick Park is the site of the old manor-house, 

 occupied formerly by the Lords Howard of Effingham. 

 The old house was re-faced and altered by Mr. James 

 Laurell after 1801, and further rebuilt by the late 

 Mr. David Barclay after 1833. There is no vestige 

 of the older building, but the house is now a good 

 example of the Italian style. 



The manor of SLTFIELD was probably held by 

 the family of that name of the lords of Great Book- 

 ham from very early times, but few records remain to 

 throw light upon its early history. In 1201 Ralph 

 son of Walter de Cunton conveyed to William le 

 Faucier a virgate of land in ' Slifeld,' 4I and in 1217 

 William son of Roger Testard proved his claim to 

 half a hide in 'Slifeld.' 41 



In 1368 Nicholas atte Houke and Hawisa his wife, 

 and Walter Rykhous and Alice his wife, made con- 

 veyance to Nicholas de Slyfield and his heirs of a 

 messuage and 50 acres of land in ' Bokeham,' which 

 Joan widow of Thomas le Frye was holding for life," 

 and a later document shows that Nicholas held this 

 tenement jointly with the manor of Slyfield and its 

 appurtenances, extending to a watercourse called 

 Emlyn Streame (the Mole), which marked the 

 boundary between this manor and Stoke D'Abernon, 

 and that Nicholas and his ancestors had held the same 

 from time immemorial. 44 From this date the manor 

 continued with the Slyfield family, and Edmund son 

 of John Slyfield, who was sheriff of the county in
