A HISTORY OF SURREY
��� ��TURNOUK. Nine fieeet erminea and argent -with four mill-ttone turnert lablt in the argent.
��Turnor succeeded, and, dying in or before 1724, left his son Edward heir. Edward by his will (proved I July 1736) left his estates to his cousin Sarah, daughter of his father's elder brother Sir Edward, 76 and wife of Francis Gee, whose daugh- ter, also named Sarah, married Joseph Garth. Their son Ed- ward, first Earl Winterton, 77 thus inherited Down, and his son, Edward, second Earl Win- terton, was in possession in l8o8. 78 Between 1831 and 1838 the third earl sold it to Mr. James Mangles, M.P. for Guildford in 1831, 1832, and 1835. Mr. Mangles died in 1838. The property was set- tled for life on Mrs. Mangles. Mr. Frederick Mangles his son lived there. About 1859 it was sold to Mr. Faviell, who rebuilt the house. Mr. Bett bought it in 1890, and Mrs. Bett now lives there.
FIELD PLACE was parcel of the possessions of Henry of Guildford, 80 who held a part of it of Wal- ter of Wintershull in 1312. It was occupied by a Matilda atte Felde apparently in 1 343 ; 81 and by Ber- nard Brocas in I349- 8 ' He was rector of St. Nicholas Guildford.
Later it is named amongst the lands forfeited by Sir Thomas St. Leger, 8 * after which it was, like Down, granted to William Mistelbroke, 84 but afterwards re- verted to St. Leger's daughter Anne wife of George Man- ners, Lord Roos. 85 His sons, Thomas, Earl of Rutland, and Sir Richard Manners, kt., sold Field Place to Thomas Hall and his wife Joan in I542. 86 After her husband's death Joan married James Rokley, who held the manor in her right. 87 It descended to her son, George Hall. 88 His widow Juliana married a Thomas Washington about 1569-72, and George's only child Elizabeth Hall married Robert Quenell be- fore 1 5 8o. 89 The Washingtons and Quenells of Chid- dingfold were jointly interested in the manor in 1585.*
��MANNERS, Lord Roos. Or two tars azure and a chief gulei.
��Robert and Elizabeth Quenell had a son Peter who resided at Lythe Hill, Haslemere. 91 Robert died in 1612. Peter Quenell the son, who held his first court in 1615, had a son Peter born in 1603," who married in 1628 Elizabeth Grey, and resided at Field Place, holding a court in 1635, though his father the older Peter did not die till i65o. 93 Peter the younger was already owner. 91 He died in 1666 and was buried at Compton. His will was proved by his widow Elizabeth, 95 who was assessed for hearth tax at Compton circa 1 67 5. ^ His son Peter died in 1 684," leaving two daughters, minors : Eliza- beth subsequently wife of Robert Beare and Joan subsequently wife of John Waight, to whom Field Place descended in moieties. 98
In 1 709 John and Joan Waight, Nathan and Eliza- beth Hickman, and sundry mortgagees joined in a conveyance of the whole manor to Samuel Manship. 99 His widow Anne held a court in 1726. Their son John Manship held a court in 1738 and died in 1751. His son John did not come into possession till his mother's death in 1788, and was holding still in i8o8. lo Soon after this the manor was purchased by George Smallpeice, 101 who died in 1853. After his widow's death in 1869 it passed to his nephew Job Smallpeice. He sold it to Mr. John King before 21 May 1875. Mr. John King died 15 May 1893. Mrs. King his widow died 16 August 1902, after which date the estate was sold to Colonel Annand.
POLSTED, the most easterly part of the parish, was distinguished from the main manor of Compton I0 * early in the reign of Richard I, for in 1 1 96 Walter de Windsor warranted it to Hugh of Foisted and his wife Cecily to hold by knight's service, 10 * while in 1199 mention is made of a house which had belonged to Gerard of Foisted and to the land of Richard the Reeve (frepositus) of Foisted. 104 At the time of the confirmation to Hugh of Foisted William de Astinges was laying claim to the service from the manor, but apparently failed to prove his right to it, for in 1219 Michael of Foisted, probably a son of Hugh, obtained confirmation of his land in Foisted from William de Windsor. 105 In 1261 a second Hugh of Foisted con- veyed the manor to Simon Passelew and his heirs. 100 About ten years later John de Middleton conveyed the manor to William of Wintershull, 107 on whose younger son Walter it was settled, together with Bramley (q.v.).

lra Cecily de Compton held three half- knights' fees, c. 1 20 1 (Rid Bk. Excb. Rolls Ser. i, 148). Possibly, therefore, her holding included Foisted and Down as well as Compton, but the three were held separately of the De Windsors a few years afterwards (Testa de Nevill [Rec. Com.], 210).
