A HISTORY OF SURREY
��(Bramber). 1 " Later in the century, but before 1 243, he was stated to hold two fees in Tadworth of Hubert de Burgh, of the honour of Mowbray. 1 " In 1273 John and James, sons of William Haunsard, gave a carucate of land, 2 acres of pasture, I z acres of wood, and 201. rent in North Tadworth and Little Book- ham to the Prior of St. Mary Overy. 136 The priory continued to hold North Tadworth as a manor until the Dissolution. In 1524 it was demised with the rectory of Banstead to William Coltson and Richard Moys and Elizabeth his wife for a term of forty years. 137 After the Dissolution the manor was granted by the Crown to Thomas Walsingham and Robert son and heir of Richard Moys in fee ; 138 Walsingham soon after released to Moys," 9 who died in 1596 leaving a son Philip. 140 John son of Philip died without issue," 1 and Henry, another son, held in 1648.'" At Henry's death the manor passed to his five sisters and co-heirs." 3 In 1659 Sir Henry Hatton and Elizabeth his wife, daughter and heir of Robert Hazard and Ann, a sister of Henry Moys, 14 ' John Ireland son of another sister, John Kyme son of Mary, a third sister, and Paul Tracey son of Mar- garet, a fourth, 146 conveyed four-fifths of the manor of North Tadworth to Christopher Buckle of Burgh. 146 In 1663 Christopher Buckle acquired the remaining fifth from John Bushell and Joyce his wife, 14 ' daugh- ter and heir of Edward Lambert, who was the son of John Lambert and Catherine, the fifth sister of Henry Moys. 149 Since that time North Tadworth has been held with the manor of Burgh (q.v.).
In 1086 Ralph held Tadeorde, probably SO UTH TADWORTH, of Odo of Bayeux for \\ hides; before the Conquest two brothers had held it of King Edward for 5 hides. 1 " Its value had decreased from 4O/. to 3O/., 150 and it was still taxed for the latter sum in 1291 when the Prior of Merton held the land. 161 It is not evident how the prior acquired it, but possibly it had been granted him by the lord of Banstead, as the prior held the land of that manor. 1 " South Tadworth was certainly held by Merton before 1274, as in that year the Prior of Southwark brought a plea of novel disseisin against the Prior of Merton for common pasture in Banstead, North Tadworth, and South Tadworth. 15 * In 1428 the Prior of Merton held a quarter of a knight's fee here. 144 The manor remained in possession of the priory until the Dissolution, 166 after which, on coming to the Crown,
��it was annexed to the honour of Hampton Court. 168 In 1553 Edward VI made a grant in fee to Edward Harendon or Herrenden. 16 ' The manor was settled in 1569 on his son Henry, who married Mary Digby. 168 In 1587, after the death of Millicent Herendon, widow, Edmund was stated to be her son and heir. 169 He, with Henry Herendon, senior and junior, levied a fine of the manor in the same year. 160 The deed was possibly a surrender of Henry's claim, as Edmund still held in l6i8. 161 In 1620 John Herendon conveyed to Thomas Hawes. 161 From the latter the manor passed in 1631-2 to Thomas Grymes or Crymes, 163 who died seised in i6^. lu His son, Sir George Grymes, kt., inherited, 166 but before 1650 the manor had come into the possession of Robert Wilson and Katherine his wife. 166 The Wilsons conveyed in 1694 to Leonard Wessel,' 67 who still held in 1704. Leonard Wessel, about 1700, built the house there known as Tadworth Court. 168
By 1 724 the manor was the property of John Fleet- wood, who died in 1725 having devised to his sons John and Gerard Dutton Fleetwood in tail male with reversion to his daughter Anne Maria wife of William Bury, or his sons' daughters. 169 The second John Fleetwood died in 1752 leaving an only child Emilia, wife of Giuseppe Calenda. The Calendas and the Burys in 1755-6 conveyed their interest to Gerard Dutton Fleetwood, who was unmarried, 170 and he in 1756 procured an Act of Parliament enabling him to sell the manor to William Mabbot. 1 " Mabbot died at Tadworth Court in 1 764,"' having devised his property to his wife, Lady Rhoda Delves, with reversion to her daughter Rhoda wife of Philip Carteret Webb. 173 The daughter after- wards married Edward Beaver," 4 and in 1773, after the mother's death, they, with William Wright and Charles Scrase, executors, conveyed the manor to Sir Henry Harpur. 176 It passed soon after to Robert Hudson, who held in l8o8, 176 his son and his son's widow holding after his death ; Mrs. Hudson was lady of the manor in i84i," 7 and seems to have held until after 1860. Before the end of the igth century Sir Charles Russell, afterwards Lord Russell of Killowen, bought the manor, which is now in the possession of his widow, Lady Russell of Killowen. The house which Leonard Wessel built is now owned by Mr. C. D. Morton.

��mentioned in 1659 may have been the husband of Margaret. It is possible that another son, born after the death of the first, was also called Paul, as the Close Roll of 1668 distinctly says that the Paul Tracey pf 1659 was Margaret's son.
