History of the Wiltshire Manors 



Walter de Dunstanville in Chetyndon ; and Nicholas, son of Ada, 

 held two parts of a fee of the same in " Cidrington." I presume 

 this to mean Quidhampton, (pronounced Quidington) another ad- 

 joining estate. The Partition Roll gives Quidhampton among the 

 knights' fees of Giles Lord Badlesmere in 1340. It was held by 

 Robert Russell at a rent of 61. yearly, and was assigned to Lord de 

 Roos. The Prior of Bradenstoke held a tenement in Chadington 

 of the Barony of Combe at the same time, worth 61. 13s. 4c?., and 

 continued on the rolls as owing service for it up to the dissolution. 

 The estate of Quidhampton stands in the names of Oliver Russel 

 in 1365, Robert Russell succeeded his father of the same name in 

 1392, Thomas Russel held it in 1404; on his death, in 1417, the 

 wardship and marriage of his son, a minor, was claimed on account 

 of the paramount lord, and the bailiff of the barony ordered to 

 seize the fee into the lord's hand. In 1424, and several subsequent 

 years, it was held by Richard Dicton, probably as feoffee; since, in 

 1454, it had reverted to the Russell family; John Russel, Esquire, 

 doing service for it in that year. In 1476, "the tenants late of 

 William Burdenhill,'' are named on the rolls as owing service for 

 Chetington, which is a singular revival of a name, not found in 

 connection with the estate since the time of Henry III., probably 

 it was only used to identify the estate, the clerk of the court not 

 knowing the actual holder, for in 1473 John Russell, the last owner, 

 had died, and precept was issued to the bailiff of the knight's fees 

 "to distrain John Colingbourne, who claims to be heir to John 

 Russell, Lord of Quidhampton, &c." In 1475, John Oolingborne, 

 in 1481, William Oolingborne, were the mesne tenants. In 1547, 

 the Lady Elizabeth Reede; in 1600, the heir or heirs of John 

 Spenser. 



23. Hantone. — Held temp. Domesday by Ranulphus. This is 

 another manor in the same contiguous group, namely, Broad Hinton. 

 The heirs of Reginald Wace held one knight's fee and a half in 

 Henton of Walter de Dunstanville, (Lib. Feod.) In the Nomina 

 Villarum (1316), Roger Waz, probably his father, appears as Lord 

 of Henton. In 1340, Fidena Was is said to hold Brode Hinton 

 under the barony, valued at 61, 13s. 4d. In 1350, John Fitz Payne
