ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 



Bermondsey. — St. Mary Magdalene : John Lewis was instituted to the h'ving de lure 

 vacante March, 1554.' 



Blechingley. — Robert Harvie was instituted 15 August, 1554, to the living de iure 

 vacante^ and went on till 1575. 



BooKHAM Magna. — Matthew Standley was instituted by Home in 1 561,' after the 

 deprivation of John Hylton, who was instituted by Gardiner in 1543.* But when 

 Hylton was deprived is not apparent. It may have been under Edward or Mary. 

 Standley was himself deprived in 1580. If it was for recusancy he took a long 

 while to make up his mind. 



Carshalton.— Thomas Abbot resigned in 1553. His successor Roger Norwode, in- 

 stituted by Gardiner in 1554,' very shortly resigned, and Richard Redeworthe, in- 

 stituted by Gardiner (f. 9), accepted the Elizabethan settlement. 



Caterham. — Matthew Feiler resigned 1553. His successor William Gierke, instituted 

 by Gardiner," went on under Queen Mary and Elizabeth. 



Chaldon. — The rector instituted by White in 1558 died in 1562, so that a change here 

 had no connexion with religion. 



Chiddingfold. — Thomas Berton, instituted by White in 1557 ^f'^"" ^ death vacancy, 

 resigned early in 1559.' John Elys was instituted by White on 30 March, 1559,^ 

 five days before the bishop was sent to the Tower, and was deprived in 1561.* No 

 doubt a case of deprivation for recusancy. 



Chipsted. — ^John Meares, a priest instituted by Poynet under Edward on the resigna- 

 tion of William Iherye, held his living peacefully in Mary's and Elizabeth's reigns, 

 dying in I57i> 



Chobham. — Robert Newman was vicar by gift of Queen Mary in 1557, Richard Olde 

 by Queen Elizabeth's in 1560 and Thomas Broadhurst by Queen Elizabeth's in 

 1561. No reason appears for the first two changes, but one may have been on 

 account of religion. The last was after the death of Olde.* 



CoMPTON. — ^Antony Cayshe, instituted by Gardiner 1547, was deprived by Gardiner 

 when he had been restored to the see in 1554, and Rees David was instituted.'" 

 According to Symmes's MSS. John Sargeante, whom Gardiner instituted to the 

 neighbouring parish of Peperharow, was holding Compton between 1554 and 

 1569, so perhaps Rees David disappeared from clerical life. The very Welsh 

 name is curious, appearing in Surrey, and when in the Loseley MSS., under date 

 II March, 1565-6, we find that William More, the patron of Compton, had for 

 some years entertained Rees Apdavie, a Welsh servant, whom he that year turned 

 into his cook, binding him as an apprentice in his kitchen, there is a grievous sus- 

 picion that More had tried to run the living of Compton cheaply by putting in a 

 vagabond Welsh clerk of the lowest class, and that we have here one of the ecclesi- 

 astical scandals which had to be set right by authority, irrespective of religious 

 party. The advowson of Compton had been in the hands of a religious house 

 before More's father got it. 



CouLSDON. — ^John Drane was instituted by White in 1557, William Clerke by Home 

 in 1562." There is no mention of deprivation or resignation. 



Dorking. — ^John Glover was instituted by Poynet in February, 1552, on the resignation 

 of Nicholas Nycholls," and went on under Mary and Elizabeth. 



Effingham.— John Hunt resigned in 155 1." William Thompson was instituted by 

 Poynet on nomination by the Crown," and there is no fresh institution in Mary's 

 reign ; there was a new institution in 1562. Hunt's resignation of course may 

 have been caused by dislike of Protestantism, but the nominee of Edward's regency 

 is not likely to have been recalcitrant in 1562. He may have withdrawn under 

 Mary, and the living may have been among the many found vacant by Home. 



Egham. — Thomas Moulde was appointed to the living by Letters Patent in January, 

 1560.** What became of the previous vicar, instituted in 1541, does not appear.'
