31. THE HOSPITAL OF LUD- 



GERSHALL 



Three hides of land at Ludgershall, valued 

 at 6os., were granted by Henry II. to the 

 brethren of Santingfeld near Wissant before 

 H56, 26 but it is by no means certain that a 

 hospital was actually built there. On other 

 lands, near Luton in Bedfordshire, which 

 were granted in the same charter, the hos- 

 pital of Farley was founded shortly after, and 

 it seems not unlikely that another was built 

 at Ludgershall 2fi ; but the only actual evi- 

 dence of its existence is the fact that the mas- 

 ter of Farley in 1 296 is called master of Farley 

 and of Ludgershall. 27 All other allusions to 

 the lands given by Henry II. in this place de- 

 scribe them as the property of the brethren 

 of Santingfeld. 28 At the suppression of the 

 alien priories, the lands of Farley and Lud- 

 gershall were granted in 1448 to King's 

 College, Cambridge. 28

32. THE CLUNIAC PRIORY OF 

 NEWTON LONGVILLE 



The priory of Newton Longville was 

 founded by Walter Giffard as a cell to St. 

 Faith's at Longueville near Rouen. The 

 lands in Buckinghamshire which formed its 

 endowment were granted to the Norman 

 priory about 1 1 5o, 20 and it seems probable that 

 the English cell was built almost at once, as 

 a grant of materials for the purpose was in- 

 cluded in Walter Giffard's charter. 21 Very

little is known of the history of this house ; it 

 was immediately subject to St. Faith's, and 

 exempt from episcopal jurisdiction. In 1277 

 Edward I. sent the priory a gift of two tuns of 

 wine. 30 In 1331 the prior received a licence 

 to go to the general chapter at Cluny with his 

 suite. 31 During the wars of the fourteenth 

 century this priory probably suffered the same 

 losses and inconveniences as other alien cells. 

 It was finally granted to New College, Ox- 

 ford, in 1441. 32 



The original endowment consisted of the 

 manors of Great Horwood, Newton Long- 

 ville, Whaddon and Akeley, with their 

 churches ; tithes of other lands, fishpools and 

 woods, and free pasture for stock, as well as
