A HISTORY OF SURREY 



the four vewers of that Honorable City of London.' 

 He married Ann Frognal, daughter of William Frog- 

 nal, citizen and fishmonger of London, by whom he 

 had five sons and two daughters and he died in 1619, 

 ' she still surviving until . . . ' ; the date of her death 

 is not filled in. He is represented above in a long 

 robe and his wife in a full skirt and wearing a straw 

 hat. Below are the children, the sons in one group 

 and the daughters in another. Two of the sons, one 

 of them a small boy, carry a skull each. Above are 

 two shields, one containing the arms of London, and 

 the second has a cheveron between three compasses, 

 the Carpenters' arms. A stone slab near this records 

 the death of John Collyer in 1689. On the north 

 wall of the nave, fixed to a modern stone, is an 

 inscription to ' Fayth Sutton,' the wife of John 

 Sutton the younger, and daughter to ' Hwgh Fear- 

 clough of London, gentleman.' She died in 1603. 

 Above on one plate are the figures of two sons and 

 one daughter, but these are not in their right place 

 and probably belong to John Sutton the elder, as 

 this lady had two daughters only. 



To the west of this is another modern stone on 

 which is an inscription to John Sutton the elder, who 

 lived a widower 24 years and died in 1603. He 

 had two sons and one daughter. On the same stone 

 is an inscription to Thomas, the elder of these two 

 sons, who died in 1603. Above each inscription is a 

 figure, the old man in a long robe and the son in a 

 short cloak. Between the two figures are three shields, 

 two having : quarterly (i) a cheveron between three 

 cows, (2) a fesse between three ducks, (3) party cheve- 

 ron-wise two voided molets in chief and one in base, 

 (4) a fesse between two cheverons. On the centre 

 point is a crescent for difference. The other shield 

 has the quarterly coat impaling a lion between three 

 fleurs de lis. 



On the west wall of the nave is a small wall monu- 

 ment to John Greene, who died in 1651, and in the 

 south aisle is a large white marble monument to 

 James Fenn, 1793, who is shown in his robes as 

 Sheriff of London, kneeling at a desk with his wife 

 and daughter opposite him. The treatment is some- 

 what florid, but the survival of this Jacobean type of 

 monument is very interesting and curious at the end 

 of the 1 8th century. 



There are five bells in the tower, originally all 

 cast by R. Catlin in 1741, but the second and fifth 

 have been recast in 1896 by Taylor & Son. 



The plate comprises a silver cup of 1798, a chalice 

 and paten of 1892, and a flagon of 1888. There is 

 also a base metal paten dated 1 8 1 8 and a flagon of 

 the same material dated 1860 and an old pewter 

 flagon dated 1713. 



The registers are contained in five volumes the first 

 having entries of baptisms from 1653 to 1770, mar- 

 riages 1654 to 1754 and burials 1653 to 1765. 

 The second contains marriages from 1754 to 1801. 

 The third has baptisms from 1770, and burials from 

 1765, both up to 1798. The fourth continues the 

 baptisms and burials from 1799 to 1812 and the fifth 

 has marriages from 1801 to 1812. 



The chapel of Horsell originally be- 

 ADVOWSQN longed to the monastery of Westmin- 

 ster. The date of its foundation is not 

 apparent, but in 1 2 5 8 the Abbot of Westminster granted 

 the advowson, with that of Pyrford, to the priory of 

 Newark." By 1262 both chapels had been annexed 

 to the church of Woking, which was also among the 

 possessions of Newark Priory. 40 In 1291 the chapels 

 of Horsell and Pyrford were together valued at 10 

 annually," and in 1428 were taxed at 15 marks." 

 In 1457, owing to the smallness of the receipts of the 

 chapel of Horsell and its ruinous condition, Roger 

 Hallye, a canon regular of Newark, received licence 

 from the bishop to administer the sacraments to the 

 parishioners for one year, more or less, dating from 

 2 April, during which time he would take all the 

 profits." Horsell remained attached to the rectory 

 of Woking and was surrendered, with the priory's 

 other possessions, in 1538, when the farm of the 

 chapel of Horsell was valued at is." After the Dis- 

 solution it appears that the benefice, a curacy, was 

 rendered perpetual under a licence from the ordinary." 

 The great tithes of Horsell were granted, with those of 

 Woking, to Francis Aungier, Baron Longford, being 

 subsequently held by his son and by the latter's 

 nephew, who was lay impropriator in 1679.*' In the 

 mean time, the king apparently presented perpetual 

 curates, who both served and had an actual estate in 

 the chapel at a rent of 2/.* 7 In 1628, at the sug- 

 gestion of the Earl of Anglesey, the chapel was 

 granted to John Robinson, who served it. 4 ' The chapel, 

 with the vicarage house and lands and the small tithes, 

 was subsequently conveyed by the ministers themselves, 

 or by their widows, to their various successors until 

 about 1674, when Ann Alchorn, widow of the last 

 curate, sold the property to Godfrey Lee, a layman, 

 who appropriated the small tithes and closed the 

 chapel while he himself occupied the house belonging 

 to it." In October 1679, however, the lay rector, 

 Lord Aungier, came forward and brought a suit 

 against Godfrey Lee, 50 maintaining that there could 

 not be two lay fees in the tithes of one parish. 41 It 

 was on the strength of this plea, apparently, that Lord 

 Aungier had presented to Horsell earlier in the year, 

 but doubts having arisen on that occasion as to his 

 right to do so, the incumbent was again instituted a 

 few weeks later by the Crown." The dispute, how- 

 ever, was not immediately settled. Bishop Morley 

 of Winchester, evidently wishing to arrange matters 

 and to erect the curacy into a vicarage, bequeathed, 

 by his will, proved 31 October 1684, 10 per 

 annum for an augmentation to the ' vicarage ' on the 

 conditions that the ' vicarage ' house and tithe should 

 be restored to the church and that those who had 

 bought the great tithe should settle 10 per annum 

 more on the living for ever. The terms were not 

 complied with however, and the benefaction became 

 void. 53 Godfrey Lee in 1684 M still held the chapel 

 house and small tithes, but the property appears to 

 have been handed to the lay rector soon after, as 

 according to Manning both this and the great tithes 

 were sold by Lord Aungier to Richard Lee and
