in conveying the manor to William Montague and Sir 

 Thomas Crewe, father of John Crewe, Lord Crewe 

 of Sterne," probably a preliminary step to selling 

 it to Sir George Carteret, for although no record of 

 the transfer is extant, it was acquired by the Car- 

 terets about this time, and Lysons mentions 1667 as 

 the date. Sir George Carteret 

 was a devoted adherent to the 

 Royalist cause, he had de- 

 fended Jersey against the 

 Parliamentarians, was created 

 a baronet in 164,5 and made 

 vice-chamberlain at the Re- 

 storation. His son Sir Philip 

 was blown up in the Royal 

 James off Southwold Bay in 

 the action against the Dutch, 

 which took place there in 

 1672, leaving a son Sir George, 

 who inherited the manor on 



his grandfather's death in 1679. The latter was a 

 zealous supporter of the Revolution, although elevated 

 to the peerage by Charles II in 1681, with the title of 

 Baron Carteret of Haynes.'" He died in 1695 and 

 was succeeded by his son John who became Earl Gran- 

 ville on the death of his mother in 1 744." He led 

 an active political life, being Lord-lieutenant of Ireland 

 in 1724 and died in 1763." The manor passed to his 

 son Robert on whose death without issue in 1 776 " it 

 was inherited by his nephew Henry Frederick, younger 

 son of his sister Louisa, in accordance with the terms 

 of the will of John, Earl Granville.** Henry Frederick 

 in 1784 was created Baron Carteret of Haynes with 

 remainder to the younger sons of his brother Thomas, 

 first marquess of Bath, and on 

 his death without issue in 

 1826 the manor and title 

 passed to his nephew Lord 

 George Thynne, who died 

 childless in 1838, when he was 

 succeeded by his brother John, 

 third Lord Carteret, who also 

 died without issue in 1849." 

 The title then became extinct, 

 but the manor was inherited 

 by the Rev. Lord John 

 Thynne, subdean of West- 

 minster (third son of Thomas, 

 Bath), in whose second son,

 it is vested at the present day. 

 The site of the manor of Haynes was mortgaged 

 in 1568 by Robert Newdigate, together with the 

 park, for ,£300 by the name of ' the messuage or 



mansion house wherin Robert now dwells, known by 

 the name of the site of the manor of Haunes or 

 Haunes Lodge.' " 



A windmill is mentioned as belonging to the manor 

 in 1 3 1 2,'' but this is the only notice. A water-mill, 

 however, was attached to the manor in 1689,'° and in 

 1 7 1 1 was called a water grist-mill.*' 



A park at Haynes is mentioned for the 

 PJRK first time in 13 12, when Roger Lestrange, 

 the husband of Maud de Mowbray, died seised 

 of it,°' and it has always been attached to the manor. 

 In 1 3 16 William de Braose complained that his park 

 had been entered by many men who hunted and 

 carried away the deer,*' and in 1327 it was estimated 

 to contain 240 acres.™ It was stated in 1368 that the 

 park was worth nothing beyond reprises because the 

 underwood there was insuiRcient for inclosing it." 

 The ofiice of parker was conferred upon William 

 Marshall in 1393 for life, with the fees, to hold as 

 Roger Park, deceased, had it, and in 1398 he received 

 the profits of agistment and herbage, provided that 

 sufiicient pasture should be kept for the deer of the 

 lord of the manor.'* In 1568 the park was mort- 

 gaged by Robert Newdigate, and contained then 

 about 500 acres." At the present day the park is 

 about 800 acres in extent, and is very well timbered, 

 although there are no trees of particular note beyond 

 a number of cork oaks, some large hollies and ilexes. 



There was another manor in the parish known by 

 the name of HJTNES GRANGE, which is first 

 mentioned in 1 1 50, when it was presented by Pain 

 and Rose de Beauchamp to the priory of Chicksands, 

 on the occasion of the foundation of that monastery. 

 In the grant were included 400 acres, and the whole 

 of Applewood except the part which Olaf the priest of 

 Haynes held." This grant was confirmed in the 

 reign of Henry III by William de Beauchamp, great- 

 grandson of the donor," and the priory continued in 

 undisturbed possession until the Dissolution. In 

 1285 free warren in Haynes was bestowed upon the 

 priory,™ and the value of the Grange about 1 29 1 was 

 £5 12/." The holding was augmented in 1308 by an 

 alienation in mortmain of 40 acres, the gift of Robert 

 Doket of Wilshamstead," but in 1325 the priory was 

 involved in serious monetary difficulties, and mortgaged 

 Haynes Grange and the chapel of St. Thomas' manor 

 in Meppershall to John Pisaquila of Genoa, and 

 Bartholomew Riky, besides having to sell Applewood and 

 another wood called Inwood ; the mortgage, however,'* 

 was gradually redeemed, and in 1327 a yearly rent of 

 77/. 6d. was granted to the priory hy Robert de 

 Flamville.*" In 1330 the priory justified its claim to 

 free warren in Haynes by the production of the 



lent to this story by the fact that in 1652 

 a settlement of the manor was made 

 upon Onslow Winch by Oliver Luke 

 (Recov. R. Mich. 1652, rot. 97), but it 

 was moat likely a marriage settlement, 

 as Oliver was certainly holding the manor 

 in 1666 (Recov. R. Hil. 18 Chas. II, 

 rot. 16).

 Sir Thomas Crewe married Temperance, 

 daughter and heir of Reginald Bray, brother 

 to Lord Edmund Bray, who died seised of 

 the manor in 1539-40. Their great- 

 granddaughter Jemima married Sir Philip 

 Carteret, blown up in the Reyal James 

 (Burke, Peerage ; Extinct Peerage).
