The Selborne rivulet becomes of fome breadth at Oakhanger, and, 
in very wet feafons, fwells to a large flood. There is a bridge over- 
the ftream at this hamlet of confiderable antiquity and peculiar 
fliape, known by the name of Tmibridge : it confifts of one fingle 
blunt goibic arch, fo high and Iharp as to render the paflage not 
very convenient or fafe. Here was alfo, we find, a bridge in 
very early times ; for Jacobus de Hochangre, the firft benefactor to 
the Priory of Selborne, held his eftate at Hochangre by the fervice 
of providing the king one foot-foldier for forty days, and by build- 
ing this bridge. " Jacobus de Hochangre tenet Hochangre in com. 
*' Southampton, per Serjantiam inveniendi unum valeftumjn exer- 
citu Domini regis [fcil. Henrki lU"'.] per 40 dies; et ad fa- 
*' ckndnm pontem de Hochangre : et valet per ann. C. s."

A dove-houfc was a .conflant appendant to a manerial dwelling : 
of this convenience more will be laid hereafter. 
A corn-mill was alfo efleemed a neceflary appendage of every 
manor ; and therefore was to be expeded of courfe at the Priory of 
Selborne. 
The prior had fe^a molcndini, or ad molendimm ^ ; a power of 
compellinghis vaflals to bring their corn to be ground at his mill, 
according to old cuftom. He had alfo, according to bifhop 7^?«- 
ner, fe^a molcndini de Strete : but the purport of Strete, we muft 
confefs, we do not underfland. Strete, in old Englifli, fignifies a 
road or highway, as PFatUng Strete, &c. therefore the prior might 
^ Sargentia, a fort of tenure of doing fomething for the king.
