MY GARDEN. 



by a deed made in 1245, Henry III. granted it to Raymund de Laik 

 (Lucas), who likewise held it by a cross-bow. At his death, his daughter 

 Isabella inherited the lands, and on her decease, after some litigation, 

 her son Gatelier, or Gacelin, obtained possession of the property. From 

 the Gatelier or Gacelin family this manor passed next into that of the 

 Roges, and on that family becoming extinct in 1302 it again reverted 

 to tlje sovereign. That same year Edward I. granted it to Thomas 

 Corbet, who, some say, was his valet, and from him it passed successively 

 by purchase, to the Morleys, Braytons, and Willoughbys. But as these 

 alienations were made without the king's consent, the manor was seized 

 by Edward III. ; he, however, re-granted it afterwards to Sir William 

 Willoughby and his wife, although they were obliged to pay to the kine 

 a fine of one hundred shillings annually. They were allowed to let this 

 manor in 1353 to William and Nicholas de Carru— as this family spelt 

 their name at that time— at twenty marks per annum, on the agreement 

 that the manor was to revert to the said Willoughby and his wife on the 

 deaths of the tenants. And in 1360 the same Sir Wm. Willoughby 

 also had licence to alienate tLe fee simple to Nicholas de. Carru and 

 his heirs; the value of it being one hundred shiUings per annum. Sir Wm. 

 Willoughby had but one daughter : she married Sir Thomas Huscarle^ 

 Knt, proprietor of the other manor in Beddington ; and, on his death! 

 she contracted another marriage with Nicholas de Carru. So that in the 

 reign of Edward III. the two manors in Beddington became united. 

 There is very little known about the manor of which Huscarle was the 

 last proprietor. It is reorded in Domesday Book, that Milo Crispin 

 Eari of Hereford held it, and that William son of Turold held it of him. 

 Two mills are also mentioned as being in it, of the value of thirty-five 

 shdhngs (^los). It seems that so early as the reign of King John the 

 Huscaries possessed land in Beddington. The Carews, to whom the two 

 manors belonged, on the marriage of Nicholas de Carru with Lucy, 

 daughter of Sir William Willoughby. and widow of Sir Thomas Hus- 

 carie, are descended from one Otho. who came over to England in the 

 Conquerors tune. The name of Carru was taken by one William, i, 

 the re.gn of Kn,g John, from a castle in Pembrokeshire called Ca ri,
