262 PARISH OF OTTEBHAM. 



Her two younger sisters became Nuns, one at Bocland, and the 

 other at Walton.* 



This would seem to exhaust all the heirs of John Sergeaux, 

 and probably the fee of Oterham again reverted to the family 

 of Champernon, for in the 3rd Henry IV, (1402) when the 

 king levied a similar aid, now called a subsidy, for the marriage 

 of Blanche, his eldest daughter, William de Campo Arnulphi 

 was returned as holding, inter alia, one knight's fee in 

 Oterham. f In 6th Henry VI, this fee had become much sub- 

 divided as indeed had most other fees. Thomas Bonvyle 

 and Leva his wife held a quarter part, whereon they paid a 

 subsidy of 20'*- Thomas Carwytham, Thomas Oterham, William 

 Chambernon, John Mayow,| John Walke, Robert Trecarell, 

 Roger Langdon, Richard Dunecombe, Robert Chamberleyne, 

 Stephen Doyngnell, John Pereu, John Boson, William Wilhouse, 

 Thomas Pruwet, and Robert Calwe, held separately between 

 them three parts of the fee, but because no one of them held a 

 quarter part it was not assessed to the subsidy. § 



We next find that upon the Inquisition taken after the 

 death of Leva Bonvill, that Oterham was held by her husband 

 and herself of the heirs of Sir William Bonvill, but how he 

 acquired the fee we know not. See post p. 265. 



And the Prior of Tywardreath is returned as holding this 

 fee, and that of Penrose Burden, (see post, p. 266), but we know 

 not how these fees were thus acquired by the Prior. 



So much for the fee. We must now advert to 



The Manor and the Advowson. 



The latter has been annexed to the former so far back as 

 history reaches, but being held by sub-infeudation it is difficult 

 to bridge over the chasm between the time of the Domesday 



* Banks's Baronage. 



fSubsidy Eolls, 3 Henry IV. We have seen that William Champernon was 

 dead long before this date. It was not unusal for the names of tenants being 

 retained on the Exchequer Book long after their death, nevertheless this may 

 have been another William Champernon. 



;j;,Tohn Mayo we of Smallhill is returned in the same document as holding 

 with several others, the third part of a knight's fee in Treworgye in the Hundred 

 of Lesnewth. Treworgye is, we believe, in the parish of St. Grennis.
