A HISTORY OF SURREY
��manor in 1834. His grandson, Mr. H. Barclay, sold the manor in 1882 to Mr. William Keswick, M.P., 16 to whom it now belongs.
The monks of Chertsey obtained a grant of a weekly market on Tuesday, and a two-days' fair on the eve and day of Michaelmas." The latter was maintained until 1 792, but abandoned very shortly after."
In the survey of Surrey taken in I 549, it is stated that John Gardyner, sen., holds in Great Bookham a curtilage formerly of John Gardyner, on which was built a horse-mill, and a cottage with a curtilage formerly belonging to the schoolhouse. 18
The reputed manor of EJSTlflCK'm Great Book- ham appears to have been held by the Dabernon family, certainly as early as the reign of Edward I, and John Dabernon, kt.', was holding land in Book- ham in 1273."
In 1327 Sir John Dabernon, his son (see Stoke D'Abernon), died seised of 80 acres of land in Eastwick in Bookham, held of the Abbot of Chertsey, leaving his son and heir of the same name of full age,* who in 1335 conceded to Robert de Aylynchagh and Walter atte Welle a curtilage called ' Clerke- shagh ' and a field called ' La Vynye ' at Aylynchagh in Great Bookham," the latter probably representing the messuage and lands called ' Vines ' mentioned as forming part of the manor of Eastwick in 1571," and the name of which is preserved to the present day in Phenice Farm.
William Dabernon, son of John, died in 1359, leaving a daughter Elizabeth, wife of William Croy- ser,* 3 and afterwards of John de Grey de Ruthyn, in conjunction with whom in 1391 she conveyed the manor of Eastwick to trustees." William Croyser, on of Elizabeth and William,' 5 had a daughter Anne,' 6 who married first Sir Ingelram Bruyn," and afterwards Sir Henry Norbury, in conjunction with whom in 1436 she conveyed the manor to trustees,* 8 who in 1439 re-conveyed the manor to Henry and Anne and their heirs." Sir John Norbury, son of Henry and Anne, had a daughter Anne, married to Sir Richard Haleighwell, 80 by whom she had a daugh- ter and heir, Joan, or Jane, who settled the manor upon herself and her first " husband, Sir Edmund Bray, kt., Lord Bray, for their lives, with remainder to their son and heir, John, Lord Bray." The latter in 1547 sold all his lands in Effingham and Bookham to Thomas Lyfield, 33 who married Frances, sister and co-heir of Lord Bray,' 4 with whom in 1571 he joined in conveying the manor to Ralph Stevyn.* 4 In 1584 John Stevyn and Elizabeth his wife were in posses- sion of the manor," and in 1608 Edward Stevyn,
��husbandman, son and heir of John Stevyn, yeoman, deceased, in conjunction with his brothers John, ' shereman,' William, husbandman, Ralph, husband- man, and Richard, weaver, sold the manor and farm of Eastwick to John Browne of Esher for the sum of j32O." At a court of survey held for the manor of Great Bookham in 1614, John Browne was found to hold the whole and entire manor and demesnes of Eastwick, with the rents and services of the free and customary tenants, as it lay intermixed in the parish and fields of Great Bookham. 58
In 1626 John Morrice and Grace his wife and William Cooke conveyed the manor to Sir Francis Howard, lord of Great Bookham, who made Eastwick his residence, and from this date the history of the manor follows that of Great Bookham until 1809, when Mr. Laurell (vide Great Bookham) sold East- wick to Louis Bazalgette, who died in 1830." In 1833 it was purchased of his executors by Mr. David Barclay. 40 His son, Mr. H. D. Barclay, died as owner of Eastwick in 1873. Mr. H. Barclay, his son, sold the property, and it now belongs to Mr. William Keswick, M.P., being merged in the manor of Great Bookham.
Eastwick Park is the site of the old manor-house, occupied formerly by the Lords Howard of Effingham. The old house was re-faced and altered by Mr. James Laurell after 1801, and further rebuilt by the late Mr. David Barclay after 1833. There is no vestige of the older building, but the house is now a good example of the Italian style.
The manor of SLTFIELD was probably held by the family of that name of the lords of Great Book- ham from very early times, but few records remain to throw light upon its early history. In 1201 Ralph son of Walter de Cunton conveyed to William le Faucier a virgate of land in ' Slifeld,' 4I and in 1217 William son of Roger Testard proved his claim to half a hide in 'Slifeld.' 41
In 1368 Nicholas atte Houke and Hawisa his wife, and Walter Rykhous and Alice his wife, made con- veyance to Nicholas de Slyfield and his heirs of a messuage and 50 acres of land in ' Bokeham,' which Joan widow of Thomas le Frye was holding for life," and a later document shows that Nicholas held this tenement jointly with the manor of Slyfield and its appurtenances, extending to a watercourse called Emlyn Streame (the Mole), which marked the boundary between this manor and Stoke D'Abernon, and that Nicholas and his ancestors had held the same from time immemorial. 44 From this date the manor continued with the Slyfield family, and Edmund son of John Slyfield, who was sheriff of the county in
