ADDENDA TO SUSSEX.
The following churches and religious foundations are mentioned in the county of Sussex, of which the localities cannot be identified.
In A.D. 1291.
Ecclia de Brestelye.—In the deanery of Pevensey.
In N.R. about A.D. 1341
Ecclia de Breccesle or Breccele.—Perhaps the same as the above. The name follows Fletching and precedes Fokynton, which however is no guide to the situation, places being mentioned in great confusion. A better clue is, that the Inquisition was taken at Lewes, but for which we might conjecture Brightling.
In Val. Eccl.
Ecclia de Medlers—Belonged to the Priory of Lewes, and was certainly in Sussex, but in what deanery is not stated. It occurs also in Bp. Seffrid II's charter, though there spelled Medlins. An estate of the name belonged to Lewes Priory at the dissolution, and seems to have been in the neighbourhood of Compton.
Ecclia de Tryneburne.—See the Note upon Tortington.
Chartulary of Lewes Priory.
Ecclesia de Kanevelde. Mentioned by Will., second Earl Warenne; I should conjecture it means Cowfold.
Ecclesia de Faltwell.—This name occurs among the charters of Will., third Earl Warenne.
Stratfelda—Presbyterus de, is among the witnesses to a gift of Will. Flamingus; but without date.
A.D. 1269 Reginald de Staninges obtained the grant of a private chapel at Hecham by permission of the prior of Lewes.
