bergh, of whom Rainald held it. 7 There were two 

 other sub-tenants, Walter and Hubert, whose holdings 

 may be the origins of Papworth and Dedswell. 



Alured's property in Send followed the descent of his 

 Herefordshire estate at Ewyas Harold. 8 Robert de 

 Tregoz married Sibyl daughter of Robert de Ewyas,' 

 and about 1207 confirmed the 

 endowment of Newark Priory 

 in Send. 10 Robert de Tregoz 

 his grandson was killed at 

 Evesham in 1265. In 1290 

 his son John de Tregoz granted 

 a knight's fee in Send to 

 Newark," and some ten years 

 later he died seised of two 

 knights' fees in Send, leaving 

 two co-heirs, his daughter 

 Sibyl wife of Otho de Grandi- 

 son, and John son of another 

 daughter, Clarissa wife of Roger 

 De La Warr." 



In 1359 the Prior of Newark and Roger son of 

 John De La Warr ls are mentioned as being lords of 

 Send, 14 so that probably Sibyl de Grandison had by that 

 date released her rights. In 1398 John De La Warr 

 son of Roger " died holding rents only in Send, 16 and 

 since the Priors of Newark are the only lords men- 

 tioned between that date and the Dissolution it seems 

 reasonable to suppose that the De La Warr family 

 endowed the priory with any other property that they 

 possessed. 



Henry VIII granted the manor, called Send and 

 Jury, to Sir Anthony Browne in 1544." It re- 

 mained in his family until 1674, when the impover- 

 ishment of the family necessitated its being vested in 

 trustees with a view to sale. 18 Accordingly in 1711 " 

 Francis Browne, fourth Viscount Montagu, conveyed it 

 to Sir Richard Onslow, together with the manor of 

 Ripley and the farms called ' Chapel Farm, Send 

 Barnes, Jury Farm, Ride Farm, and Newark Priory.' * 

 The manor has remained in the Onslow family, but 

 Newark was sold to Lord King, ancestor of the Earl of 

 Lovelace, in 1785. 



There are traces of various tenants of land in Send 

 during the 1 3th century. Ruald de Calva and 

 Beatrice his wife, the benefactors of Newark, evi- 

 dently held land in Send as well as the advowson of 

 the church." Their charter to the priory mentions 

 a certain William Maubaunc as their heir." GeofFry 

 Maubaunc, John Dedeswell, and Simon Pypard are 

 mentioned in the inquisition of John Tregoz as having 

 formerly each held two-thirds of his two knights' fees." 

 In 1 290 Ruald Maubaunc is mentioned, who left three 

 daughters and co-heirs ; Alice wife of Thomas de 

 Send is known to have been his daughter, 14 while 

 the others may possibly have been the wife of John 

 de Dedswell," and Dionisia wife of John le Blund, 

 for in 1290 Robert de Lodenham held of John Tregoz, 

 and John le Blund and John de Dendeswell are 

 named as holders under him with Thomas de Sende.' 6 



The earliest mention of the manor of RIPLET 

 (Rippelege, xiii cent.) seems to be in 1279, when the 

 Prior of Newark claimed to have suit at his court of 

 Ripley." Henry III in 1220 granted to the Prior of 

 Newark the right of holding an annual fair at the 

 feast of St. Mary Magdalen." In 1279 the prior also 

 claimed the right of having a market in Ripley, which 

 he had received by charter from Henry III, but it was 

 of no value, as no one came to it. 19 This manor 

 subsequently descended with Send (q.v.). 



There was apparently a manor of NEWARK in 

 Send, since in 1279 the prior claimed to have free 

 warren in his ' manor of Newark.' so This manor 

 probably consisted of the land immediately adjacent 

 to the priory. It is not described as a manor at the 

 Dissolution, and in the 1 8th century appears as the 

 farm called Newark Priory,* 1 which was purchased 

 by Sir Richard Onslow and subsequently sold to 

 Lord King (vide supra). 



The remains of the church of Newark Priory stand 

 in the midst of level fields almost wholly surrounded 

 by streams, and belong entirely to the early years 

 of the 1 3th century, though the plan shows evidence 

 of an older building, set at a slightly different axis, 

 represented by the quire and nave of the existing 

 church. The plan is noteworthy in several respects. 

 The quire, which seems to represent the presbytery 

 and possibly also the quire of a simple 12th-century 

 church, is flanked, as regards its two eastern bays, 

 by the 1 3th-century transepts, but is separated from 

 them by walls solid for some loft, from the ground 

 to take the stalls, above which pairs of arches open to 

 the upper parts of the transepts, while its third or 

 western bay forms the first bay of the nave, and has 

 had a cross arch at the west, under which the pulpitum 

 stood. The 13th-century enlargements were a three- 

 bay presbytery east of the quire, flanked by pairs of 

 square-ended chapels en echelon, on the east of the 

 transepts. A very unusual feature of these chapels, 

 which were covered with barrel-vaults, is that they 

 have separate side walls, a space being left between 

 each pair of chapels. The aisles of the nave were 

 probably 13th-century additions, but have quite 

 disappeared except for a length of the wall of the 

 south aisle, which having no foundations has unfor- 

 tunately fallen over bodily quite recently. 



The walls are of well-built flint rubble, but nearly 

 all the ashlar dressings have been picked out, reducing 

 windows and doors to ragged holes in the wall. 



The presbytery, which has lost its east wall, was of 

 three bays, forming a continuation of the quire, which 

 was also of three bays, both having been vaulted with 

 quadripartite rib vaults springing from wall-shafts 

 with Purbeck marble capitals. In each of the bays 

 is a gap on either side left by the removal of the 

 stonework of the lancet windows, which apparently 

 were of three orders with splayed rear-arches, and had 

 steeply sloping sills inside. Under the second or 

 middle north window is a gap opening to the north 

 chapel. In the third or western bay on both sides are
