Again, in the History of Cawden Ihmdred, pp. 59 — 60, lie 

 writes: — "East Harnham. This is a tything of Britfoid, hut 

 without a churcli. From the foHowing deeds among the 'rro[)enell 

 papers, it appears . . . ," and he mentions, hut again in a 

 manner that cannot be described as helpful, several Lyndford and 

 other chatters, all of them included in Major Benett-Stan ford's MS. 



In {\\Q History of Amhreshury Hundred, pp. 125 — 127, where he 

 inserts a pedigree of "Young" which does not at all correspond 

 in accuracy or fulness with the value of the M8S. derived from 

 that family, he proceeds to add : — " . . . and some MS. 

 papers which have lately fallen into my hands will give some 

 account both of Prayers and Tropenell," and cites several more of 

 the charters, &c., in Major Benett-Stanford's MS. On p. 127, 

 however, occurs a statement of no little interest: — " Since the 

 foregoing pages were printed, the following extracts from the 

 antient deeds of Mrs. Pare were communicated to me by my 

 friend liobert l^enson, Esq., and will add to the local interest of 

 this place"; and there follows, in quotation marks, a really 

 careful and accurate summary of the history of Little Durneford 

 from 1322 to 1473. The documents from which this summary 

 was prepared are all to be found in the " Tropenell Cartulary," 

 and the interest for us of Mr. Benson's communication now lies 

 in the fact that it was based on Mrs. Pare's deeds. i\Irs. Pare was 

 Mary xVnne, daughter of Edward Young, of Durnford (died 1773) 

 and was married, in 1785, to Major-General John Pare ; thus it 

 appears that there were many other charters in ^Ir. Young's ])os- 

 session besides those which he gave to Mr. Pxiuchcr ^and upon 

 wliic'h Major l>enett-Stanford's ]\IS. is based) and that these had 

 descended to his (hiughlcM'.
