P113/1 - 2007 Curds Farm and landSummary

Curds Farm the only tenement with a dwelling (messuage) was the principal copyhold tenement. The precise bounds of the tenements cannot now be traced. The present Curds Farm House was built in 1862 replacing the original timber-framed cottage that was later demolished (26). Excavation revealed a small quantity of 13th-14th century medieval pot on the site of the cottage suggesting that the original farm was established before the enclosure of Handlye Common in 1574 (23)The Curd family, from whom the farm name is derived, were resident in the parish c1653-1792 living presumably, at least part of that time, as tenants at the farm.

P113/1/1 - 2007 Lewesland Cottage and landSummary

Lewesland, part of a freehold tenement of the manor of Camois Court, was not recorded in the earlier court books and rentals. However, in 1799, when the land tax was redeemed, the land was claimed to be part of a tenement of the manor of Camois Court part of which lay at Barcombe Cross (see P113/19/3 TA 892). The holdings were both owned by John Cheesman and after his death, in 1836, they were partitioned. This tenement Old House Land was sold to William Acton, and New House Land at Barcombe Cross to John Constable (11).The claimed relationship of the two holdings is difficult to reconcile with the record in the manor court book but some evidence for the earlier common ownership of the land can be gleaned from the land tax records. The Rev. Western, who was taxed for the land in 1790, was related to the Shirley family who are recorded in the court books as the owners of the smaller landholding at Barcombe Cross.The cottage dates to the late 18th century.For other land owned by Acton in 1840 see Curd’s Farm P113/1 TA 1149 Manorial tenementsFreehold tenement of the manor of Camois Court

SummaryA whole series of small tenements gradually acquired by the Adams family at the cross made them significant landowners in the developing village. Some of the individual tenements are difficult to identify with certainty but the identification of the sites owned by the family on the tithe map is correct. William Adams was acting as executor of the will of Ann Adams in 1840 and the tithe commissioners recorded him as owner of several tenements which he held in that capacity at that precise moment. Most of those tenements were purchased from the estate by other members of the family shortly afterwards. Because of that anomaly the tithe apportionment and the manor court books often identify different owners. The family was influential in the parish. The patriarch John Adams was a miller. George was the landlord at the Royal Oak while Henry was the owner of the non-conformist chapel that was then situated at the Cross, while local directories reveal that Elizabeth Adams was a shop owner at Barcombe Cross in 1839 (51). These tenements demonstrate the continual partition and occasional reunification of holdings that characterizes the developments at Barcombe Cross in the 18th and 19th centuries.Clearly the Adams family was influential in the development of the settlement that now forms the heart of the community. Much of their property was later purchased by the Grantham family and redeveloped. Manorial tenementsThree copyhold tenements of the manor of Barcombe.

P113/3 – 2007 Gladstone BuildingsSummary

This tenement was originally created by the partition of what eventually became Stepney Farm. Two smaller tenements were created by the partition; the barn became The Royal Oak, the other this tenement. In common with other of these small tenements at the Cross and elsewhere, the dwellings served for a time as poor houses before returning to private ownership when they were purchased first by John Holroyd and later Ann Adams. Still consisting of three cottages and gardens in 1840 the site was developed with the construction of Gladstone Buildings by 1873.A whole series of small tenements gradually acquired by the Adams family at the cross made them significant landowners in the developing village. Some of the individual tenements are difficult to identify with certainty but the identification of the sites owned by the family on the tithe map is correct. William Adams was acting as executor of the will of Ann Adams in 1840 and the tithe commissioners recorded him as owner of several tenements which he held in that capacity at that precise moment. Most of those tenements were purchased from the estate by other members of the family shortly afterwards.

A whole series of small tenements gradually acquired by the Adams family at the cross made them significant landowners in the developing village. Some of the individual tenements are difficult to identify with certainty but the identification of the sites owned by the family on the tithe map is correct. William Adams was acting as executor of the will of Ann Adams in 1840 and the tithe commissioners recorded him as owner of several tenements which he held in that capacity at that precise moment. Most of those tenements were purchased from the estate by other members of the family shortly afterwards. Because of that anomaly the tithe apportionment and the manor court books often identify different owners. We have associated the other tenements with the owners named in the tithe apportionment. The family was influential in the parish. George was the landlord at the Royal Oak while Henry was the owner of the non-conformist chapel that was then situated at the Cross, while other sources reveal that Elizabeth Adams was a shop owner at Barcombe Cross in 1839. These tenements demonstrate the continual partition and occasional reunification of holdings that characterizes the developments at Barcombe Cross in the 18th and 19th centuries.Clearly the Adams family was influential in the development of the settlement that now forms the heart of the community. Much of their property was later purchased by George Grantham and redeveloped. The present church of St Francis of Assisi lies SW of the chapel site depicted on the tithe map. The development of nonconformist chapels in Barcombe is worthy of further study. George Stanford, of Gallybird Hall, who purchased this tenement in 1809 was licensed in the same year to hold a meeting of ‘Protestant Dissenters’. Moses Fisher was the minister (34). The size of the congregations certainly concerned the established church in the parish as it debated the construction of the new chapel at Spithurst.

SummaryNB. The tithe schedule attributes the number 901, incorrectly, to Henry Austen his property was

in fact 901.5A whole series of small tenements gradually acquired by the Adams family at the cross made them significant landowners in the developing village. Some of the individual tenements are difficult to identify with certainty but the identification of the sites owned by the family on the tithe map is correct. William Adams was acting as executor of the will of Ann Adams in 1840 and the tithe commissioners recorded him as owner of several tenements which he held in that capacity at that precise moment. Most of those tenements were purchased from the estate by other members of the family shortly afterwards. Because of that anomaly the tithe apportionment and the manor court books often identify different owners. We have associated the tenements with the owners named in the tithe apportionment The family was influential in the parish. The patriarch John Adams was a miller. George was the landlord at the Royal Oak while Henry was the owner of the non-conformist chapel that was then situated at the Cross, while other sources reveal that Elizabeth Adams was a shop owner at Barcombe Cross in 1839. The Day family, who sold some of this property to John Adams in 1819 (TA 905, 906), owned a barge on the Upper Ouse navigation, plying trade between Uckfield (Shortbridge) and Lewes and it is possible that one of the Adams family was also a barge owner. In 1804 Thomas Adams owned a 16 ft barge called the Victory and James and Thomas Day owned the Lark. Their cargo was said to be marl, chalk and timber etc (66). Traces of the canal locks can still be seen near Barcombe Mills. The navigation, never a particularly successful enterprise, was finally eclipsed by the advent of the railway. All properties to the west of the road were purchased by William Grantham by 1881.Manorial tenementsFive copyhold tenements of the manor of Barcombe.

P113/7 - 2007 Gallybird Hall and landSummary

All the tenements comprising this small estate appear to have been created when Handlye Common was enclosed in 1574 (23).The core of the house dates from the late 16th century and was almost certainly built on one of the newly enclosed tenements. The barn was constructed about a generation later c1620. In 1809 George Stanford of Lewes, carpenter, was granted a licence for a meeting of dissenting congregation (34). With Moses Fisher the minister, he established the Baptist Chapel at Barcombe Cross.The two additional ranges were added later, probably in the 19th century, possibly by Durrant Ade who was a Lewes businessman.Manorial tenementsFive copyhold tenements of Barcombe manor Three tenements merged by 1687Handley Common, messuage, garden, 6 acresHandley Common Upper Field 3a 3r 30p Handley Common 14 acres(TA 850-856, 860-869)1836 acquired Handley Common 3a 3r 0p (part of the 9 acres) (TA 870)

P113/8 - Delves Farm, land to the north and south of Anchor lane.Summary

Because the land within this tenement was held of two manors and the name Scufflings is common to both, the valued atnent parts are impossible to identify with any certainty. Fortunately maps of the estate survive and help with the identification. Clearly Delves Farm represents the tenement with that name but the other dwellings cannot be identified. Map evidence and archaeological fieldwork suggest that there may have been several dwellings within this landholding, medieval in origin, but now lost (65). In 1764 the land was purchased from William Earle by John Mill of Westmeston. His daughter Dorothy, who had married John Attree of Theobold’s in Wivelsfield, inherited on the death of her brother John.The earliest documentary descriptions all suggest that at least part of the land was held in strips in a common field system, but by the time the tenement can be identified on early maps those strips had been consolidated into fields within a discrete landholding. The sharp, artificial, right-angled field boundaries to the east of Banks Farm suggest that was originally an area of common fields. There is only scanty evidence for the earlier history of these tenements and the individual acres cannot be identified, that evidence is summarised after the history of the later consolidated tenements.Following an exchange agreement between George Grantham and Frederick Smith (Shenstone) in 1870 the land to the south of Anchor Lane was retained as part of the Barcombe Place estate and land to the north of the lane was incorporated in the Sutton Hall estate.Manorial tenementsMost merged into the ownership of the Earle family <17074 free tenements 2 copyhold tenements of the manor of Warningore:Delves, messuage 27 acres, messuage and 20 acres called Cheales and 14 acres called Gallops otherwise Jenners (3 tenements reduced to 1) copy 13s 10dGriggs. 12 acre (TA696) free 1s 8dScufflings in Warningore was held by William Earle from <1707 After partition in 1734 Samlands and Southfield remain (for full early history of the main part of this tenement which was held by Thomas Richardson in 1840 see P113/53/4 TA 718)

P113/9 - 2007 MeadowlandSummary

The origins of this tenement are obscure, since the only records that have been identified are the land tax and the tithe apportionment. When the commons in Barcombe were enclosed by agreement between the lord and the tenants in 1574 George Goring, as lord of the manor of Barcombe, retained a part of Marvell Common in his own hands. He was to have ‘all the common or place or waste called Marvill surrounded by water and severed from the rest of the common of Marvill’ (23). That description suits this holding which abuts the Iron river to the east (the parish boundary) and the Ouse to the west.

SummaryNB. The tithe schedule attributes the number 901.5, incorrectly, to William Adams, his property

was, in fact 901.The copyhold grant at Barcombe Cross is a typical example of an enclosure from the manorial waste; typically a long narrow strip of land adjacent to a highway. In common with others of the smaller tenements at Barcombe Cross is served at some time as the poor house.The cottage in Birdshole Lane, described as ‘late Handlye Common’ is unusual. Leasehold tenements are rare and ill-recorded in the court books. Although there was a dwelling on the land in Birdshole Lane in 1686 the housesite had been abandoned by 1800 and the dwelling had not been replaced in 1840. A new house was built sometime between 1873 and 1891.Manorial tenementsPart copyhold tenement of Barcombe manorBarcombe Cross Workhouse and small piece of land (TA 898.5, 901.5)1813 described as dwelling and butchers shop 1796 acquired P113/10aLeasehold tenement of Barcombe manorCottage and garden late Handly Common500 years from 14 Oct 1686 (TA 872)Sketch map of c1800 notes ‘cottage down’ (27)1891 described as cottage and garden

SummaryThe early descriptions of the tenement are of particular interest because they incorporate the name Crouchlands which contains a reference to the ‘cross’ of Barcombe Cross. The name of this tenement, Crouchland, and a reference in 1327 to John ate Cruche in Barcombe, are both derived from Middle English crouche ‘cross, crucifix’. There are two possible explanations of the name, there may have been a wayside shrine here in the past or possibly the settlement was named from cross roads either in the centre of the village or to the north, which may have been more defined in the past (53).In 1607 it was described as Messuage with shop and adjoining land ( ½ a) part of lands and tenements called Crouchland at Barcombe Cross E: road from Lewes to London S&W: the rest of Crouchland N: land of Thomas Godman – quit rent 2 ½ d1622 messuage and smith’s shop and land (as above)1687 bounds E: high street Barcombe Cross S&W: lands Samuel Midmore N: land of Edward Attree (5)A sketch map c1800 shows a freehold garden and orchard with hog house and stable (27)The land was partitioned before 1760 to form part of tenement P113/60 see TA 897, 898Manorial tenementsFree tenement of the manor of Camois CourtMessuage and garden at Barcombe Cross

This is an early 18th century enclosure from manorial waste. Such enclosures were characteristically a narrow roadside strip. In this case, not unusually, the wheelers’ shop was already established when the first grant was made. Later the complex was developed as a smithy, again developed before the grant was made. The parish and manor bounds bisect the property and part of this shop and the property described as ‘part house and garden, shop and wheelers shop, and part smith’s shop’, was held of the manor of Hamsey.

P113/14 - 2007 Cottages lost, Mount Pleasant and Forge Cottage. Former Poor House Cottages

SummaryAs so often in Barcombe these tenements were grants made from the manorial waste; typically long narrow strips alongside a road. A map of Balneath and Knowlands dated 1737 depicts ‘John Carpenter’s house’ (44). John Carpenter was the owner, but as a substantial farmer would not have lived in the house. In the 19th century the cottages appear to have been leased to the parish as a poor house. An early 20th century postcard shows the timber-framed buildings with children playing in the road in front.Manorial tenementsTwo copyhold tenements of the manor of Barcombe:Grant 1702 Near Knowland Gate, tenement, orchard ½ acre (TA 786, 787, 788, 789, 790)1808 acquired P113/14aNear Knowland Gate 30 perches (TA 791, 792) (3)

One of a small group of cottages now lost (TA 154, 175, 176). It is clear that the settlement pattern changed shortly after 1840; by 1873/4 this cottage was lost and the settlement in the area had shifted to the road (54). Subsequently the construction of the railway line to Horsted Keynes in c1882-1885 further obscured the earlier settlement pattern.Manorial tenementCopyhold tenement of the manor of Allington:Barcombe East part Markstakes Common 4½ acres W: Road E,S & N: Thomas Giles and George Chauntler 1706 described as a cottage and 4 ½ acres (16)

P113/16 - 2007 Holman’s Bridge CottagesSummary

One of a group of tenements in Barcombe held of the manor of Rodmell. Like many other great Saxon estates in Sussex Rodmell held significant tracts of land lying detached from the manorial centre. Vuggles Farm, Spithurst House, Burtenshaw’s Farm and these cottages and the land called Lakers, lying to the east, were all held of the manor of Rodmell. Originally recorded in the manor court as a piece of land, by 1610 the original cottage had been built. The plot, long and narrow and adjacent to the road, is typical of an enclosure from manorial waste. Gabriel Best owned the property for a significant part of the 19th century and he was probably the owner who undertook the extensions and improvements at that time.Manorial tenementTenement of manor of RodmellBarcombe – Cottage west part of Lakers 1 ½ acres

This land was originally held as part of a tenement that later evolved to became Stepney Farm (see TA933.5) The other holding created by the partition of the original tenement is now the site of Gladstone Buildings. The Royal Oak has not been surveyed, it would be interesting to establish whether any of the beams within the present inn are characteristic of a barn rather than a house. Does it represent an early barn conversion? The owner John Cheesman was the proprietor of the Cooksbridge brewery and George Adams was the innkeeper in 1840.

SummaryThis is one of several areas of land owned by John Constable, a builder, in 1840. His land was held of three manors Barcombe, Camoys Court and Allington. As well as his two larger landholdings at Spithurst and Barcombe Cross he acquired several small enclosures from the waste of the manor of Barcombe, typically long narrow roadside strips, of which the first of these tenements is an example. The cottage and land at Pound Corner was purchased from Handlye Farm in 1825. The original house on the site may be one of the earlier dwellings, now lost, which constituted part of the Handlye tenement (see P113/58 TA 1127)Since 1840 the cottages depicted on the tithe map at Pound Corner have been replaced by the present properties. The land was acquired in 1881 by Frederick Collins of Brighton, famous for inventing the call ‘Anyone for The Skylark’ to summon holiday makers to take trips on his pleasure boats. He lived and in 1912 died at Collingwood House where his wife died 5 years later. His son sold Skylark Cottage to Edwin Pratt in 1923.

P113/19/3 - 2007 The Old Forge, Fernhill, The GrangeSummary

This freehold tenement is badly recorded in the manor records. Although described in the manor records as a 12 acre tenement it was later associated with a larger freehold tenement of Camois Court at Leweslands (P113/1/1 TA 1094). Although the association of the two holdings is obscure earlier they were both owned by the Shirley family or their successors. John Constable purchased this land in 1836 from John Cheesman.The Old Forge is a remarkable survival of a medieval house in the heart of the village.For the other land owned by Constable in 1840 see P113/19 TA 425; P113/19/1 TA 1104, 873 ; P113/19/2 TA 472Manorial tenementsFreehold tenement of the manor of Camois CourtBarcombe.

P113/20 - 2007 2 & 3 High StreetSummary

The gradual fragmentation of the tenements in and around Barcombe Cross is well represented by the development of this tenement. This row of cottages were in multiple ownership in 1840 and the omission of some data from the tithe map as well as changes made since 1840 makes certain identification of individual properties difficult. Like other dwellings in and around Barcombe Cross and Spithurst this cottage and the others associated at that time appear to have served as poor houses for the parish from 1795-1824. By 1840 James Cripps Cox also owned the houses now known as Old Thatch, Tudor Cottages and Attrees (see P113/20/1 TA 909)Manorial tenement Quit rentCopyhold tenement of the manor of BarcombeTenement or cottage ½ rod Barcombe Cross (TA 904.5, 905, 906)

P113/20/1 - 2007 Tudor Cottages, Old Thatch, AttreesSummary

This tenement formed part of Holroyd’s Barcombe Place estate until the sale of 1836 when it was purchased by James Cripps Cox. The high status medieval house that had been partitioned to form cottages by 1840 would have been the principal messuage (dwelling) of the tenement of which it originally formed a part. The later house, Attree’s, is undoubtedly named from the prominent family who owned much of the land purchased by Holroyd and who may at some time have lived in the house. James Cripps Cox also owned cottages in the street at Barcombe Cross (see P113/20 TA 904.5)Manorial tenements1836 copyhold tenement of the manor of Barcombe newly formed by partition of a tenement of the manor of Barcombe held by John Holroyd Messuage in two tenements with two gardens 2r 10p (TA 908-912)

P113/21 - 2007 The Old Post Office, Cooksbridge.Summary

There appears to have been an area in Cooksbridge known as the ‘weard or weardlands’, possibly common land in origin, which extended into both Hamsey and Barcombe. The name is derived from early English ‘worth’ which implies an enclosure. This small cottage holding was created from a larger tenement acquired by the Medley family by 1680 (see TA 1339) which was partitioned to form this tenement in 1714. The bounds of the original tenement are unknown but it possibly included TA 1330, 1332, 1333, 1335, 1336 plus this cottageManorial tenementCopyhold tenement of the manor of Barcombe Formed 1714 Werdlands tenement 110ft by 44 ft (TA 1327)

P113/22 - 2007 Greensleeves, pt St Francis of Assisi Church.Summary

Originally part of a larger tenement sold by the Day family to the Adams family in 1819. The cottage and garden lie adjacent to the principal tenement (TA 905, 906) from which they were partitioned in 1821. The terms in which the transfer is recorded in the court rolls ‘Hannah, James and William Day (her children) for natural love and affection’ suggests that the cottage and land may have been given as gift to John Adams’ daughter Hannah, possibly on her marriage to an elder James Day. It appears that no money changed hands. The date 1821 and the initials JD on the house accord with the date for the creation of this tenement and the owner in 1840. The Day’s were barge owners on the Upper Ouse navigation. In 1804 James and Thomas Day owned a 16ft barge the Lark and Thomas Adams a barge called the Victory plying trade between Uckfield (Shortbridge) and Lewes. Their cargo was said to be marl, chalk and timber etc (66). Traces of the canal locks can still be seen near Barcombe Mills. The navigation, never a particularly successful enterprise, was finally eclipsed by the advent of the railway.Manorial tenementCopyhold tenement of manor of BarcombeFormed 1821 by partition of P113/5 (TA 907.5)

P113/23 - 2007 Over’s Farm, cottage in the wood (now ruined) and adjoining land

SummaryOver’s Farm appears to be a timber-framed building but no survey was undertaken. The farm name is probably derived from a family name recorded in the parish Hovere (1580) and Over (1675) (24).At least some of the land formed part of Handlye Common which was enclosed by agreement in 1574 (23). Some ancient oaks in the area may be relicts of the 400 pollards reserved when timber from Handlye Common was sold circa 1565 (30). The precise bounds of tenement called The Dickett cannot be located but the tenement can be associated with Over’s Farm and land tenanted by Mary Howell and the cottage held by John Cheesman in 1840 (29).The chimney stack of the ruined cottage is brick built and not an early construction but some timbers lying nearby appear to be elements of an unglazed open window part of an earlier timber framed dwelling, possibly the one described in c1720 ‘this house down and the materials sold to John Bland’.Manorial tenements1687 three copyhold tenements of the manor of Barcombe (5)Messuage, barn, 2 orchards 3½ acres adjoining HoselandHalfyard (20a) HoselandHandlye Common 8 acresThe precise bounds of this tenement cannot be located but it can be associated with the land held by John Cheesman in 1840 (TA 173-175, 1181-1187)

P113/24 - 2007 Beeches Cottage and Pump Cottage, land to south of Mill Lane.Summary

The Egles family owned the whole of the Beeches estate but in 1840 the principal house and some land was leased to George Wigney who was recorded as the owner on the tithe apportionment, the remaining portion is recorded here. The name Beeches appears to be a corruption of the surname Beecher (a former owner of some of the land on) and has nothing to do with trees.In view of the recent discovery of the probable alignment of a Roman road to the east of this land the name Streatfield for part of one of the tenements may be significant. The element street when found in place–names is frequently associated with Roman roads. Holmbush now stands on Streatfield.The new grant of 1721, a narrow strip of land lying adjacent to a highway on which Beeches and Pump Cottage now stand, typifies a grant of manorial waste, of which there are many in Barcombe. Gabriel Egles also owned land on Markstakes Common (see P113/24/1 TA 190).

This land was held of the manor of Allington one of several manors owning land within the parish of Barcombe. The holding was enclosed from the manor common in 1660. Although the descriptions in the Court Books do not record a building on the tenement before 1798, a house said to be ‘late John Carpenter’s, was depicted on a map of 1737 on Vincents Meadow (TA190), the small enclosure is still visible today (44). John Carpenter was a substantial farmer, farming all the land of the manor of Balneath and Knowland from Sir Charles Goring, and although he had owned the house he almost certainly did not live there. His son sold the property to the Vincent family, who gave their name to several of the fields, in the year the map was drawn. That sale probably accounts for the use of the word ‘late’ on the map relating to the house ownership. Of note is the name Forge Field, it implies that a forge was functioning in the area so the house may have had another practical function. Lying as it did on a then major access route to Markstakes Common a forge there would have provided an important service to the community. Gabriel Egles also owned The Beeches and some adjoining land near the church in Barcombe (see P113/24 TA 1204).Manorial tenementsCopyhold tenement of the manor of Allington

P113/25 - 2007 cottages lost, Town Littleworth.Summary

This land was held of the manor of Allington, one of several manors owning land within the parish of Barcombe. Both tenements originated as grants made from Markstakes Common in 1661 and 1665 respectively.The distribution of settlement here had already changed significantly by 1873 (OS) and the eventual construction of the railway line changed the topography of the landscape to some extent, so it is difficult to reconcile the tithe map data with what is on the ground today. What is clear is that none of the earlier cottages survive.It is also difficult to reconcile the claim that part of the land associated with the smaller tenement lay in Chailey since it does not lie on the parish boundary. No explanation for the anomaly can be offered.By 1873 dwellings had been built on Orchard Mead (TA180) and Hovel Plat (TA 173), presumably to replace the older abandoned dwellings that lay further to the east away from the road (TA 175, 154).

P113/26 - 2007 Church Cottage, Glebe Cottage.Summary

The original house, Church Cottage, was built on a roadway Knighten Ride Lane which possibly served the original Culver Farm. As the cottage was allowed to remain presumably the lane had largely gone out of use by that time. The Auburne family are recorded in the parochial records during the mid to late 16th century but disappear from view after that time.The form of the timber frame suggests a date of about 1650 for the construction of Church Cottage which is probably entirely of one build. A record of the glebe (church) land, part of which lies to the east of the cottage, established who built the original house (TA 1238).1675 Upland meadow called Innhams 3 acres Bounds:S.

P113/27 - 2007 White CottageSummary

A typical small enclosure from the manorial waste lying as it does on the apex of the road junction. The cottage itself is an interesting small dwelling of the period. There are other very similar dwellings in the parish, possibly Thomas Adams, a carpenter, was employed to construct them all. However carpentry was not his only trade. In his will Thomas Adams left this property to his wife Mary, together with the carpenter’s shop he occupied, which cannot be identified and may not have been on this site. It is tempting to suggest that it might have been the unnumbered building shown on the opposite side of the road on the tithe map. Possibly more significantly Thomas also left her his ‘barge and horse with all belonging thereto’(3). In 1804 he was recorded as owning a barge on the Upper Ouse Navigation, The Victory traded between Uckfield (Shortbridge) and Lewes. The principal cargo was marl, chalk and timber etc (66). Traces of the canal locks can still be seen near Barcombe Mills. The navigation, never a particularly successful enterprise, was finally eclipsed by the advent of the railway.Although the original grant was for a cottage and land, the 1838 manor court records the sale of the property to Fuller with ‘a messuage lately erected’, Such phrases are difficult to interpret – it could refer to a house that was only 40 years old or it may imply that a new house had replaced an earlier dwelling on the plot.Manorial tenementCopyhold tenement of the manor of Barcombe1790 new grant Between Barcombe Cross and church, cottage 7½ rodsE&N: Road church-Barcombe Cross W&S: Elizabeth EglesPossible new dwelling built by 1838 (3)

P113/29 - Court House, Penance Pond, cottage lost (by Culver Farm yard), and landSummary

This tenement represents the core of the demesne land, the land retained for his own use by the manorial lord, of the manor of Barcombe. There is no evidence that the lord of the manor of Barcombe ever resided here. Although there is no evidence for the earlier medieval period it is possible that the demesne let to tenants on lease. Those tenants may well have occupied the house, but the evidence is lacking. Edward Cooke, who owned property in Barcombe and also leased the demesne in the mid to late 16th-century gave his name to Cooksbridge.Until 1728, when Nathaniel Garland (grandfather of the Nathaniel who owned the land in 1840) purchased the remaining demesne from Elizabeth, widow of George Goring, the evidence is sporadic. The name Court House suggests that the manor courts continued to be held there, possibly early in it’s history when a manorial reeve or similar officer was living there and representing the lord. The rather unusual lay-out of the house may reflect that role.The position of the manor and church immediately adjacent to the site of the Roman Villa suggests the possibility that the existence of the villa estate may have influenced the administration and possibly the settlement pattern in Barcombe. Barcombe was the administrative centre of the hundred, a local administrative district, which encompassed both Hamsey and Newick. Certainly the Saxon successors to the villa estate were aware of the Roman origins of the site. The name Barcombe itself, earlier recorded as Bercamp, Berecomp, contains the element ‘camp’ which is frequently associated with Roman settlement (61). The archaeological evidence for late Saxon activity on the villa site confirms their use of the site.Azor, who held the manor before the Conquest, was a significant thegn, holder of several manors in the rape of Lewes and obviously a man of substance. By 1086 the Norman William of Watteville held the manor. The subsequent descent of the manor is obscure until 1536. For a discussion of the problems and the later descent of the manor see The Victoria County History of Sussex (24).In 1840 Nathaniel Garland also owned Spithurst House and Farm see P113/29/1 TA 550.Manorial tenementsDemesne farms of the manor of Barcombe (29)

P113/29 Court House, Penance Pond, cottage lost (by Culver Farm yard), and landFormer demesne of the manor of Barcombe. Demesne was property retained for his own use or benefit by the manorial lord. The original demesne was more extensive than the area remaining in 1844. After the early medieval period the demesne was almost certainly always leased out, but few records survive. The Garland family were never resident in Barcombe. (see further information for biography)For details of other former demesne land see P113/44 TA1339, P113/44/1TA 1033, P113/53/4 TA643, P113/71 TA6791557: The site of the manor of Barcombe, with all houses, buildings and barns belonging and all the demesne lands, meadows etc containing 267a. 1565: In the mansion house there is a hall, with a chimney newly builded, a little parlour with a chimney, 2 chambers with chimneys, and divers other chambers, a kitchen, a brewhouse, and a bake house and the most thereof covered with stone of horsham and the rest with tile.There is a gatehouse, other outhouses for a stable and a stall and there is one barn and one house newly builded for a pigeon house (possibly the origin of Culver Farm – culver = pigeon).

P113/29/1 - 2007 Spithurst House, Church Farm, and land.Summary

This land consists of outlying tenements of the manors of Allington and Rodmell. Land of the manor of Rodmell lying east of Spithurst Road and Allington land to the west.The name Spithurst is first recorded in 1296 as a personal name in the subsidy rolls (tax rolls) (40). At that time a family with a name derived from a place were almost certainly resident there and archaeological evidence confirms that both the Rodmell and the Allington tenements were settled by the 13th-14th century.The form of the name is problematic and the meaning has been much debated. One explanation is a wooded hill (herst) where wood was split – to make shingles for example. But the division of this land between two manors makes a simple explanation, ‘shared or split wooded hill’, appealing. Names of farms and fields can change over time. In 1873/4 OS the farm was Spithurst Farm, the farm name was changed to Church Farm after St Bartholomew’s church was built in 1880.In 1840 Nathaniel Garland also owned Court House and Culver Farm (see P113/29 TA 1278).Manorial tenementsOne copyhold tenement of the manor of RodmellBarcombe Spithurst, a barn and 8 acres of land (12)Acquired2 copyhold tenements of the manor of Allington1805 Barcombe Panthill 3 pieces 13 acres - Streats Garden meadow ½ acre adjacent to the street, Greenfield 2½ acres adjacent to the street, Trench Wood 10 acres adjacent to the park1807 Panthill 5 pieces 26 acres (Church Farm) (16)

P113/31 - 2007 Balneath manor (TA 303), Caveridge (TA 271), land and woodsSummary

The manor was part of the possessions of the Priory of St Pancras, Lewes. The land here in Barcombe appears to have been a gift to the Priory made by William of Warrenne in c1095 described as his demesne land ‘from Beuehorne (Bevern) Bridge to Cheagele (Chailey) from the east road to the road beside the bridge at Hamwde’. Much of the rest of the manorial land lay outside Barcombe. The tenants of the manor were required to carry 600 cartloads of wood yearly to the priory from Homewood (in Chailey) and Balneath. Balneath fell into lay hands following the dissolution and was granted by Thomas Cromwell to John Randall of Hamsey (57). After the fall of Cromwell the manor was granted to Anne of Cleves for life (24). In 1552 the reversion (ownership after the death of Anne) was granted to Sir William Goring and on his death in 1554 it passed to his son Sir Henry who succeeded Anne in 1557. The Goring family remained in possession until the end of the 19th century. The lordship was purchased from them by Sir William Grantham in about 1900.The land in Barcombe was demesne of the manor, owned by the lord and subsequently not recorded in the court books, so our knowledge of ownership and tenancy is particularly fragmentary. The field-names create the impression of a struggle to clear and improve the clay soil of a woodland area. The derogatory name Starvecrow reflects the view of the users of the marginal quality of the land, while the name Dencher records the paring and burning of turf to improve the land for arable use. The name Grubs records the clearance of woodland and Kiln Field and Brick Kiln Wood record the industrial exploitation of the underlying clay. Sir Charles Goring also owned Knowlands (see P113/31/1 TA 404).Manorial tenementsDemesne of the manor of Balneath (57)Copyhold tenement of the manor of BalneathBarcombe.

P113/31/1 - Knowlands Farm, wood, and landSummary

This large tenement of the manor of Houndean is, like many freehold tenements, ill recorded in the manor court books. Indeed information for Knowlands is particularly sparse. What is clear is that the tenement was in the hands of the Goring family, possibly without a break, from c1600 to after 1840 when our detailed study ends. The reference in the rental to another owner, Mrs Ade, in 1825 is puzzling (35). She may have been a leasehold tenant or possibly related to the Goring family. The claim that at least part of Knowlands was tithe free suggests that it may have been held by a religious house before the dissolution. It is significant that a place called ‘Knolland’, former Lewes Priory land, was leased out immediately after the dissolution and the decription of the land as Knowland, Frytheland and Southland in 1596 also accords with the earlier records. Possibly the land was acquired from the crown by a new owner who annexed it to his manor of Houndean and then leased it to George Goring. The Gorings did not live at Knowlands and records of the tenants are equally sparse until the earliest surviving land tax records for this area begin in 1780. One stray early land tax record (1703) survives for Barcombe and appears to name tenants rather than owners of the properties; then John Carpenter was at Knowlands. The Carpenter family association with the property may have been long standing, certainly one of the family was the tenant in 1737. The Goring family the manor of Balneath from 1557 until c1900, to which this land was added from at least the early 17th century.

SummaryThis landholding consists largely of six tenements of the manor of Barcombe merged into the ownership of Edward Attree by 1684, some can be traced in the earlier manor rentals but the earlier descent in the Gravely and Godman family is not clear. The two tenements of the manor of Camois Court were acquired by James Attree in 1686. The land formed part of the substantial estate in Barcombe owned by George Grantham by 1840. He purchased most of the land from John Holroyd. A detailed 1820 map of the estate allows the tenements, especially those forming Banks Farm (P113/34/3), to be identified (55)For Grantham’s other land see Markstakes Common P113/34/1 TA 202; Banks Farm P113/34/2 TA 731.Manorial tenementsSix copyhold tenements of the manor of BarcombeCobbs, barn, ½ yard (1836 10s 4d) (TA S part 945, 955, 758, N part 765, 769)Barcombe Cross, tenement, barn, 1 furling (TA 799, 800, 801, 889, 890, 908-912)Rough Garden, messuage, barn, 2 gardens, orchard ½ acre.

P113/34/2 - 2007 Banks farm and Elm cottages (now rebuilt on plot) and land Summary

The major tenement called Pakins and Kneales, on the site of what is now Banks Farm, was the property of Eleanor Holroyd, wife of George Holroyd, and by 1788 it was surrendered to John Holroyd their son in 1802. He then set about purchasing other land in Barcombe to form the estate associated with Barcombe Place. Clearly two other major manorial tenements, originally in different ownership, were merged with Pakins and Kneales to create what is now Banks Farm. One, Pakins, appears to have been sited on what is now the farmyard adjacent to Banks Farm (TA 730) and the other, Chantlers, may be associated with the site, now lost, but revealed by archaeological fieldwork, in the field called The Hawkins (TA 737). A detailed 1820 map of the estate allows the tenements, especially those forming Banks Farm (P113/34/3), to be identified (55)Manorial tenementsSeven copyhold tenements of the manor of BarcombePakins, messuage, barn, garden , orchard several pieces 40 acres (TA 731-735, 723, 727, 664, 666, 668, 670, 979)Chantlers, messuage, barn, 20 acres (TA 737,739, 740, 734 part, 960)Dubbins Garden, toft, garden 1 rood (TA part 759)Pakins and Kneales (two tenements) messuage, barn, garden 40 acres (TA 734 E part,961-966, 970-978)Ternwish Two pieces of meadow 2½ acres (TA part 757)

SummaryA major landholding built up around Barcombe Mill, the estate incorporates many diverse tenements. The precise bounds of the individual tenements cannot be determined. However, clearly there were several large holdings centred around the Mill and the Crink, one of which, possibly Rowleys, could be the major house, exact location unknown, depicted on a map of John Rootes’ land in 1715 (67). The estate recorded in 1840 comprised the tenements acquired by Thomas Rickman from various owners, principally John Plumer (successor to the Rootes family who gave their name to Rootes Cottages) and Ambrose Galloway, between 1767 and 1793. Although no freehold tenement relating to the mill is recorded in the court books the estate is known to have included some freehold land which is recorded on a map of 1793 (58), a further warning that we can never be certain that the bounds of the tenements can be defined with complete accuracy.Manorial tenementsAcquired by Rickman 1767Three copyhold tenements of the manor of Barcombe merged by 1687:Water cornmill, the mill green.

P113/36 - 2007 Slate CottageSummary

This tenement is recorded early and the first dwelling on the site was ‘recently built’ in 1568. Dominic Lewes had raised a mortgage of £18 on the land, presumably to build the house. The mortgage was conditional on payment of £18 ‘at the north door of the church of Barcombe on 20 April, 1575’. The low quit rent due on the early tenement reflects the unchanging nature of the manorial rents once they had been fixed while the higher rents charged for the comparatively small new land grants demonstrate the higher values of a later date.Manorial tenementsThree copyhold tenements of the manor of BarcombeVerscrofte cottage 4 acres1797 new grant: Near Bost Lane , waste 2r 5p W: Road N&S: Waste E: Self1810 new grant: Barcombe Bost Lane 8 perches S: Bost Lane N: self E: Joseph Smyth W: point (3)

P113/37 - Land adjoining Anchor InnSummary

The site of the pub and adjoining land was manorial demesne named Rail Field in the early 18th century (29). In 1724 it was sold with Butcher’s Field to Christopher Mansel (20). By 1840 Butcher’s Field was owned by Thomas Richardson as part of P113/53/4 (TA586-589, 643)The pub name implies that the development of the property as a public house coincided with the development of the nearby Ouse navigation in the final decade of the 18th century. James Funnell was the tenant of both the inn and the land in 1840.Manorial tenementsNot identified in manor records Recorded as demesne in c1709-1717 1724 Sold to Christopher Mansel

P113/39 - 2007 Mill House, Mill lost.Summary

A group of tenements retained after the sale of the principal part of Holroyd’s estate to George Grantham.The Vine family, who are the earliest recorded owners of the land by the mill, may have given their name to Vine Cottage (see TA 875). There was a dwelling on the land before 1687.In 1825 the mill and cottage were described as ‘lately erected’.The land at Barcombe Cross represents the residue of one of the group of major tenements of the manor of Barcombe purchased by John Holroyd to form the Barcombe Place estate. In 1836 part of the land was sold to B. Skinner (P113/60 TA 890), J C Cox (P113/20 TA 909) and Sir Charles Goring (P113/31/1 TA 799), the residue remained in the hands of John Holroyd until after 1840.Manorial tenementsResidue of 2 copyhold tenements of the manor of Barcombe.Messuage, barn, garden 4 acres near Parsonage There was a dwelling somewhere on this tenement before 1687 (5).

P113/42 - Tollwood HouseSummary

The origins of the tenement have not been identified. Although there was no house recorded in 1840 there is a house on the site now. Since it lies immediately on the parish boundary it is possible that it was associated with a neighbouring manor centred in Newick or Chailey. Ingram held tenements in the manors of Allington and Balneath.Manorial tenementnot identified in a manor

The house here was built later.

P113/43 - BrooklandSummary

This tenement, identified in the land tax records as part of Marvell Common, was held of the manor of Warningore. Marvell was one of the commons in the manor of Barcombe that was enclosed by agreement in 1574 (23). That this part of the common was a freehold held of Warningore suggests that both manors had an interest in this valuable area of brookland. The tenement was already held by the Shirley family of Isfield in 1579 when it was said to be held of the Queen (59). That suggests the possibility that it was formerly held by a religious house and had remained in the hands of the crown. How it eventually became associated with Warningore has not been established. The name is a simplex form of the common Old English element hamm, in this case identifying a water meadow. In 1579 the land was described as ‘Eastmarvell or East Wood Great Eyes or Little Eyes in Barcombe’ and was said to contain 46 acres. The term ‘eye’ is derived from early English eg an island which perfectly describes the situation of the meadows enclosed between the Longford Stream, the river Ouse and other waterways.Manorial tenementFree tenement of the manor of Warningore Barcombe, Hamm

P113/44 - Conyboro estate, Avery’s Farm, Woodbine Cottage, The Manor House, and land.

SummaryThe estate established by Thomas Medley at Conyboro, was formerly part of the demesne of the manor of Barcombe; the name implies that it may originally have been a rabbit warren (46). There was a house at Conyboro by 1643 which was probably rebuilt by Thomas Medley shortly after 1689. That house was demolished about 1816. In 1855 Sir John Dodson acquired the estate and his son John Dodson (later Baron Monk Bretton) built the present Conyboro (on a new site closer to the main road) and was resident there by 1869.Stickpits was purchased by Medley from Martha and Dorothy Goring and George Egles in 1751.Avery’s Farm derived its name from the final owner of the tenement before it was bought in as part of the estate. Another cottage, associated with the halfyard tenement, was recorded in an estate survey of 1798 as Homewoods, but was lost by 1840. It stood somewhere in the vicinity of Avery’s Farm, probably either on the small enclosure identified as Harriotts Garden (TA 1288), or on the road leading to the fields in Conyboro Park (TA 1342).

P113/44/1 - 2007 Hayes Farm and land, land near Camois Court (excluding the house), the Crink, Mongers Farm and land.

SummaryThis landholding, part of estate of the Earl of Liverpool in Barcombe in 1840, consists of part of the demesne of the manor of Camois Court and Hayes Farm former demesne of the manor of Barcombe as well as the tenements listed below. Camois Court was formed by partition of the manor of Barcombe and was originally, like the principal manor, identified as Barcombe (Bercamp). The earliest record dated 1198 identifies the manor in the hands of Maud de Bercamp, her name suggesting that she probably lived at her manor. The manor descended to the Camoys’ family in the early 14th century but was not identified in documents as Camoys Court until the mid-15th century after the tenure had passed out of their hands. It eventually passed to the Lewkenor family and, when the male line failed, was inherited by daughters. That inheritance led to a complex partition of interest in the manor (24). The moieties eventually resolved into two holdings. This one was purchased by Thomas Medley in 1709 and was merged with their other land in Barcombe, passing eventually to the Earls of Liverpool. (For the other share see P113/56 TA 1070). The present Hayes farm dates from the mid-17th century, but, as it was the only tenement recorded as part of the manor demesne by the mill in the early 18th century, it is possible that it had a predecessor. Medley bought the Mill Farm property from the Misses Goring in 1751.This landholding continued to be recorded in the land tax as ‘Hays land’, which suggests the Hay family may have farmed not only their own tenement of Exters (Monger’s Farm), but also the two demesne holdings.For the rest of the land in Barcombe owned by the Earl of Liverpool in 1840 see P113/44, TA 1339; P113/44/2, TA 200; P113/44/3, TA 432; P113/44/4, TA 1178.Manorial tenementsThe precise bounds of the tenements cannot be traced with certainty but the tithe numbers given indicate as accurately as possible the extent of the associated land. 1709 acquired Part demesne of the manor of Camois Court (TA 1071, 1073, 1075, 1080, 1082, 1052) (24) Acquired 1724Four copyhold tenements of the manor of Barcombe in the same ownership from <1668 Exters, messuage, barn, garden, orchard, halfyard (Monger’s Farm)Axstile Wish, meadow 4 acresBeamonds Acre, meadow part of halfyard (TA 939-944, 1082-1085)Handley Common 11 acres (TA 857-859) (3)Acquired 1727 Copyhold tenement of the manor of BarcombeBarcombe Millfield Mead ½ acre meadow (?TA 1053)

P113/44/4 - 2007 land, site of lost Handly Farm (OS 1911)Summary

The farmhouse, now lost, was recorded on OS maps until at least 1911. It is curious that two farms with identical names survived in Barcombe well into the 20th century. The house depicted on an estate survey of 1798 does not appear ancient. However some medieval pottery was retrieved alongside the footpath that passes by the site which suggests that there was earlier settlement that pre-dated that house. Some of the land associated with the farm was enclosed from Handlye Common in 1574, hence the farm name. For the rest of the land in Barcombe owned by the Earl of Liverpool see P113/44, 1339; P113/44/1, TA 1033; P113/44/2, TA 200; P113/44/3, TA 432.Manorial tenementsTwo copyhold tenements of the manor of Barcombe1565 Colbes, halfyard 1687 Cobbs at Handley, messuage, barn 30 acresHandley Common 16 acres (5)

A tenement of the manor of Balneath lying partly in Chailey and partly in Barcombe. In 1809 it was described as 2 acres in Barcombe and Chailey and by 1840 it was partitioned Barcombe/Chailey. Hundred acres, cottage and 26 perches to Richard Pannett - by apportionment copy 2d (18). As William Pannett appears as owner in Barcombe in 1840 that portion of the land must have remained in the larger part valued at 4d. The description of the tenement as the Hundred Acres is a humorous one frequently used to describe small fields. The varied assessments of the size of the holding suggest that there was a degree of uncertainty about the actual position of the boundaries.Manorial tenementPart of copyhold tenement of the manor of Balneath Barcombe/Chailey Hundred acres, cottage ½ acre (18).

P113/50 - 2007 Sewell’s Farm and surrounding landSummary

The remarkable survival of a documentary source from 1492 describing the grant of Sewell’s makes this tenement of particular interest (56). The records of the descent of freehold tenements are sparse but those that survive suggest that these tenements, apart from the new grant of 1836, were merged from the 16th century.The 18th century modernizing façade of the house successfully disguises the surviving core of the late 15th century timber-framed building with decorative mouldings on the beams and carving on the door frames that suggest a building of high status. Handlye Common was enclosed by 1574 and the common land adjacent to Sewell’s appears to mark the northern boundary of the original common.The curious assessment of the Rodmell tenement as 100 acres in 1787 (see P113/50b) is probably derived from knowledge of the acreage of the whole landholding and does not describe only the Rodmell land.

P113/51 - Sharpsbridge Farm and adjoining cottages and landSummary

Until parochial boundaries were reformed in the 20th century some parishes had detached areas of land lying within the bounds of other parishes, of which Sharpsbridge, an area of Barcombe parish situated within Newick, is an example. It was transferred to the parish of Newick in 1934. James Pimm was a well known papermaker who was already running Dean’s Mill at Lindfield when he established the paper mill here (62).Manorial TenementsSituated on a detached portion of the parish of Barcombe now in Newick<1684 partitioned from Sharps Farthing (P113/57 see TA11)Copyhold tenement of the manor of Barcombe

SummaryThe position of this tenement, immediately adjacent to the known outlier of Rodmell at Spithurst, as well as its form, which accords with an enclosure from manorial waste, combine to suggest that it should be the Rodmell tenement identified below. However it is difficult to account for the different owner named in the tithe apportionment. It is possible he was leasing the premises at that date. Clearly the newer cottages on the land were built c1870.The descent of the tenement from Henry Holden to his son nicely illustrates the manor custom of borough English where manorial tenements passed to the youngest son (or failing a son the youngest daughter).Manorial tenementCopyhold tenement of the manor of Rodmell (?)Barcombe.

P113/53 - 2007 Sutton Hall, Beaks Farm, Bradness, Vuggles and land.Keepers Cottage lost

SummaryThis part of his large estate was inherited by Captain Thomas Richardson from his aunt Mary Richardson (née Margesson). The tenements were united into the estate by the Stiles and then by the Margesson family of West Sussex in the 18th and early 19th century. They were never resident on the estate. The new house, then named Sutton Hurst, was built by Thomas Richardson in 1836 (32).A map c1830-1836 records the names Bradness Green and Upper and Lower Bradness not far south of the Vuggles boundary which suggests the Bradness holding was extensive, but the messuage (dwelling) has not been identified (28).Coppards Farm (now Bradness), is in origin a fine medieval house with substantial 17th century additions which can possibly be attributed to the Delves family. It may have been the principal messuage (dwelling) associated with the early tenement called Worgers, but the identification is tentative.The original Beaks farmhouse may have been of some antiquity, but it has now been replaced with a modern farmhouse. Keepers Cottage has also been lost but photographs suggest that it may have dated from the 18th century. None of the tenement boundaries can be securely identified, the field numbers given below only suggest their location.Four messuages (dwellings) can be identified in the manorial tenements. Of the present houses only Coppards Farm (Bradness) and Vuggles are of sufficient antiquity to be associated with those early dwellings.In 1565 many of these tenements were owned by Thomas Michelbourne and his wife Alice (30).For the rest of Richardson’s extensive estate see P113/53/1, TA 428; P113/53/2, TA 658; P113/53/3, TA 560; P113/53/4, TA 715.Manorial tenementsTwo free tenements of the manor of Camois Court both in the hands of the Delves family by 1662.

P113/53/1 - 2007 The KnowleSummary

This tenement probably originated as an enclosure from manorial waste. Such enclosures were typically long, narrow roadside strips on which cottages were often constructed by the new owners. The present house dates from the second half of the 17th century and it is likely that it was built by one of the early tenants, either William Carpenter or Robert Keale.John Cheesman appears to have had a small nursery adjoining the southern part of the cottage in 1737. The house was formerly called Slutts Garden Cottages. It lies close to an area of land known as Slutts Garden – a name suggesting that the land was exceedingly muddy.For the rest of Richardson’s extensive estate see P113/53, TA 90; P113/53/2, TA 658; P113/53/3, TA 560; P113/53/4, TA 715.Manorial tenementsCopyhold tenement of Barcombe manorKnowland, cottage ½ acre

P113/53/2 - 2007 meadowland W: River Ouse E: Iron RiverSummary

These tenements were probably merged by <1640, as is often the case with manorial records detailed information for the freehold tenement is lacking. The land lies to the east of the river Ouse, canalised in the last decade of the 18th century. The parish boundary lies on the Iron River suggesting that earlier that was perceived as the main stream.Thomas Richardson purchased this land in 1832 before he built Sutton Hurst. It was his first land purchase after inheriting the estate The high quit rent reflects the importance of good meadow land in animal husbandry. The name Monkton Brooks suggests that part of the land may have been held by a monastic house, possibly Lewes Priory.For the rest of Richardson’s extensive estate see P113/53, TA 90; P113/53/1, TA 428; P113/53/3, TA 560; P113/53/4, TA 715.Manorial tenementsOne copyhold, one freehold tenement of the manor of BarcombeMonkton Brookes otherwise Eastwood 4 acresPiece of land 16 acres

P113/53/3 - 2007 Burtenshaw Farm, Burtenshaw’s wood and landSummary

This outlying holding of the manor of Rodmell adjoins Spithurst House which was also held of Rodmell. The name Westlands, now forgotten, and other field names were an essential element that allowed the tenement to be identified. A late 18th century map was made for the sale of land at Barcombe Cross and Westlands. The northern part of the map showing Westlands had been cut off but the name Westlands and the list of the fields which constituted the holding survived. The field names could be associated with the names recorded in 1840 in the present Burtenshaw Farm (41).Free tenements are only intermittently recorded in the manor courts so the descent of the property is sketchy. Despite the late record of his ownership in the court books the property was probably purchased by Richardson from Holroyd in 1836. The house appears to date from the latter part of the 17th century or the early part of the 18th century. That suggests the existing building could have been built by the Attree family but without doubt there would have been an earlier house on the site.The manorial record of Richardson’s death reveals an amusing sidelight on the registering of right to heriot. The lawyers representing the lord of the manor of Rodmell did not arrive in time to claim any of his beasts as heriot because the lawyers representing other manorial lords had got there first!For the rest of Richardson’s extensive estate see P113/53, TA 90; P113/53/1, TA 428; P113/53/2, TA 658; P113/53/4, TA 715.

SummaryThe history of these tenements is exceedingly complex and although most of the material is accurate the descents and dates shown should be seen as indicative rather than definitive. We intend to post an amended survey as soon as possible. In the meantime if you wish to

undertake further study please go back to the original documents.These tenements lying south of the Longford stream were acquired by Thomas Richardson from several landowners between 1832 and 1836. The individual tenements, held of both the manor of Barcombe and the manor of Warningore, had been merged into larger units much earlier. Where possible the approximate position of the tenements has been identified but the actual bounds are uncertain. Much of the difficulty is caused by two tenements both called Scufflings, one in Barcombe and one in Warningore. Both originated as a collection of discrete acres in common fields which only later nucleated into the field patterns with which we are familiar. It is clear that only one of the houses survives, whether the house should be associated with the Warningore or Barcombe tenement remains uncertain although Warningore is maginally more likely. Many of the tenements were free which allowed this rationalization of holdings, but as such were ill-recorded in manor records. Down Coppice (The Downe) and Longford were both associated with the tenement named Worgers in the Barcombe manor rental of 1565, but The Downe cannot be identified as an individual tenement after that date (30). However it was included in the sale by Lucas Shadwell to Richardson in 1836 that included both Longford (Barcombe manor) and Agmonds (Warningore manor). Some of the land near Scufflings was associated with Whitehoad Common which was enclosed by agreement in 1574 (23). Curiously more acres are recorded in these tenements than were said to remain in the common then, possibly part had been enclosed earlier.Agmonds Wood must be associated with the Agmond family taxpayers in Barcombe in 1327 and 1332. Dollicks Lane identified on a map of c1760-1780 evolved to become Dallas Lane. The names Burnt House field and Old House field suggest the possible position of some of the early messuages (dwellings) now lost, possibly the other Scufflings or the Dollicks tenement.Following an exchange agreement between George Grantham and Frederick Smith (Shenstone) in 1870 the land to the south of Anchor Lane was retained as part of the Barcombe Place estate and land to the north of the lane was incorporated in the Sutton Hall estate.For the rest of Richardson’s extensive estate see P113/53, TA 90; P113/53/1, TA 428; P113/53/2,TA 658; P113/53/3, TA 560Manorial tenementsSeven freehold tenements of the manor of WarningoreBarcombe.

P113/54 - 2007 Land. Cottage (Bonnicks) lost, Gallops Farm lost.Summary

The bounds of these tenements are difficult to determine. As the tenement descriptions imply, much of the land associated with this holding was formerly part of Marvell Common which was enclosed by agreement in 1574 (23). The land lying between the N-S footpath (Blunt’s Lane) and the river Ouse probably represents that enclosed land. The barn by Blunt’s Green may represent what appears to be the tenement with a barn. The Whitehouse is difficult to locate as the tenement had been partitioned and dispersed to various owners. It is possible that the cottage (Bonnicks), now lost (TA 674) was the Whitehouse, but the archaeological evidence does not suggest the house was early. However medieval pot nearby on the field suggests that there had been an earlier house which could represent one of the dwellings. Cobbs messuage (dwelling) has not been identified. Gallops Farm, also known as Jenner’s Farm, but possibly in error not recorded as a house on the tithe map was a tenement of the manor of Warningore. Many of the tenements in both manors were in the hands of members of the Jenner family by the end of the 17th century.

P113/55 - 2007 Stepney Farm and land adjacent to former Stepney Farm buildings

SummaryThe principal tenement, later Stepney Farm, was originally more extensive, some land and the barn had been sold by 1687. The Royal Oak is on the site of the barn associated with the tenement and Gladstone buildings on part of the land. The precise bounds of the individual manorial tenements are difficult to determine. The Handlye Common land, purchased from the Napp family, was the first land in Barcombe acquired by the Rogers family of Kingston. John Napp was the tenant of Sewells Farm and much of the land adjoins that tenement. Sale particulars of the estate make it clear that the exact location of the Camois Court tenement called Groveland was unknown in 1845 (39).The Stepney family, owners of a large tenement of the manor of Barcombe at Barcombe Cross as well as part of Handlye Common from 1709-1769, gave their name to the farm. Beams of a medieval hall house were incorporated into the fabric of the present house. The beams may have come from the messuage (dwelling) associated with the original tenement at Barcombe Cross although it is impossible to be certain that the cottage recorded on the tithe map was that dwelling.

Manorial tenementsAlthough the tenement listed first was probably the principal dwelling on the holding it was probably the last to be acquired by the Rogers family hence the numeration P113/55d. The Land in Handlye Common P113/55 was their first acquisition.

P113/56 - 2007 Camois Court, Camois Court Farm, Half Yard Farm and landAt Barcombe Cross: Barcombe School, house in School Field

Recreation ground at Barcombe CrossLand lost to railway (Soal Field TA 884)

SummaryThis land represents a part (moiety) of the demesne lands of the manor of Camois Court and, as such, the descent is not recorded in the manor court. Camois Court was formed by partition of the manor of Barcombe and was originally, like the principal manor, identified as Barcombe (Bercamp). The earliest record dated 1198 identifies the manor in the hands of Maud de Bercamp, her name suggesting that she probably lived at her manor. The manor descended to the Camoys family in the early-14th century but was not identified in documents as Camoys Court until the mid-15th century after the tenure had passed out of their hands. It eventually passed in the hands of the Lewkenor family and when the male line failed was inherited by daughters. That inheritance led to a complex partition of interest in the manor (24). The complex moieties eventually resolved into two holdings, one of which was purchased by Thomas Medley in 1709 merging with their manor of Barcombe and passing eventually to the Earls of Liverpool. The other share, Camois Court Farm, descended to the Lucas family.The land at Barcombe Cross cannot be identified with absolute certainty, however it is probably the tenement that had been in the hands of the Medley (later Liverpool) family. The manor of Ote Hall is said to have had land at Barcombe and possibly Soal field is that holding. There are coincidental links with both the Godman family of Barcombe and Ditchling as well as Shadwell that suggest a possible association, but it has not been researched in detail. The lordship of the manor of Camois Court was purchased from Shadwell by Thomas Richardson in 1836 and in 1866 George Grantham purchased it from Richardson.Manorial tenementsPart of demesne of the manor of Camois Court – Camois Court Farm (TA 1055, 1056, 1069, 1070)Manor of BarcombeBroomfields and Coney Croft 7a near Barcombe Cross (TA 884, 888) TA 802 Not identified in manor records (?

P113/58 - Handlye Farm and landSummary

Two of the tenements, Mills (copyhold) and the messuage and 20 acres (freehold), were merged from before 1687. The free tenement is also described as a messuage (dwelling) and 20 acres which suggests that there were two dwellings on this land. The present house must be the messuage associated with the principal tenement ‘Handley messuage, barn, garden and orchard, 30 acres’. The other, associated with ‘Handley Common 20 acres’ cannot be certainly identified, but since all the tenements had been merged by 1825 when the land at Pound Corner was sold it is possible that the cottage on that land was the missing messuage (see TA 1104-1107). These tenements were all created when Handlye Common was enclosed by agreement in 1574 (23). The entire holding associated with Handlye farm is referred to as Handly als Wellshutts in 1734 (6), and an early 19th century map of the land describes it as Mills and Wellshutts.Handlye Farmhouse was built in the 17th century possibly by John Earle or his predecessor. It was extensively extended about 1650. Manorial tenementsTwo copyhold one free tenement of the manor of Barcombe

P113/58/1 - 2007 Scobell’s and adjoining landSummary

One of the early recorded manorial tenements described in 1565 as Coppernetts halfyard and ferling – copy 10s 0d (30). The tenement was enlarged by the acquisition of land from Whitehoad, one of the commons enclosed by agreement in 1574. The second element of the name Whitehoad suggests that the common was originally heathland. A map of 1820 shows a brick kiln in the highway before the house (see Old Maps). The kiln, by then out of use, was described in error as part of the property when sale particulars were drawn up in 1861. Grantham spotted the error and the description of the property was duly revised.Manorial tenementsThree copyhold tenements of the manor of Barcombemerged by 1687 (5)

P113/61 - 2007 Gipp’s Farm, Brickyard Farm (Chubbs Nursery) and land including Old Park.

SummaryOld Park and Park Farm cannot be clearly associated with any manor. The earliest record of Old Park, associates it with the manor of Greenwich – a holding manor for monastic property seized by the crown following the dissolution. In 1619 an Old Park, conceivably the same place, is recorded in the Sackville manor of Allington (17), (48). It is possible that it was former monastic land acquired by the Sackvilles following the dissolution. The Park abuts outliers of the manor of Allington on three sides and clearly it would have been convenient to administer it as a tenement of that manor, although, apart from that one mention, it cannot be traced in the manorial records.Gipp’s Farm was once part of a substantial estate held here by the Michelbourne family in 1565 ‘Jeppes Longford and Stoners croftes, messuage 106 acres; tenement halfyard or ferling; The Downe a parcel of land; messuage, halfyard and ferlinge, sometimes Wyrgars 102 acres - free £1 2s 9½d’ (30) The land encompassed what is now Bradness, Longford and Down Coppice. In addition the Michelbournes also held a substantial part of what is now Sutton Hall and Vuggles. Free tenements are not well recorded in the court books so precise dates are sometimes uncertain, but the key tenements were all in the hands of Christopher Mansell of Newick Park by 1734 (6).

Samuel Hyde Smart was a Lewes miller working the public subscription mill in Pipe Passage which was later moved to a site near Lewes prison. The cottage at St Helena was built between 1840 and 1873/4. The name St Helena is a jocular reference to a distant place, in this instance undoubtedly referring to Napoleon’s exile at St Helena.Manorial tenementsManorial origin unknownPiece of meadow called The Brook 12a (later called Combe Brooks) 1833 acquires P113/62a Free tenement of the manor of Warningore Barcombe-Scufflings Brooks 13 acres (19,20)

P113/64 - 2007 Orchard CottageSummary

This is one of only two tenements in Barcombe that cannot be clearly associated with a specific manor. Since it lies adjacent to the free tenement of Camois Court now Leweslands, it is possible that it was associated with that manor. However, the suggestion is speculative and open to correction.Manorial tenements Not identified in manorThe position of the land suggests it may have been partitioned from Lewesland the adjoining freehold tenement of the manor of Camois Court, the precise history of which is also obscure (11).

One of many tenements in Barcombe created by the enclosure of a small piece of manorial waste, typically a narrow strip of land adjacent to a highway.

P113/69 - Furzeley Farm, Markstakes Cottage and landSummary

The parish of Barcombe originally extended to include the manor of Balneath and adjoining land now in the parish of Chailey. The original grant of a virgate, an antique land measurement variable in extent according to the quality of the land but usually approximately 20 acres, in this case 24 acres, does not mention a dwelling. Although the manorial records do not record a dwelling before 1766, the visible timber-frame of Furzeley Farmhouse is typical of the construction methods of the second half of the 17th century, suggesting that the Calchin family may have constructed the present house. The construction of Markstakes Cottage, sometime before 1840, also appears to be unrecorded.The field names kiln field and brickyard field attest to the importance of brick making in the area well before the modern works at Chailey were developed.Manorial tenementsCopyhold tenement of the manor of BalneathBarcombe Firzly, ½ virgateParcel of the Lords waste at Markstakes Common on which a cottage has been erected (Vincents, Reynolds)

P113/70 - 2007 The Beeches and adjoining landSummary

In sale particulars for the Beeches estate drawn up when it was sold in 1875, together with the adjoining land in the hands of the Egles family, the whole property was described as ‘freehold’ despite the fact that some of the land was undoubtedly copyhold (10). Although almost certainly a freehold of the manor of Barcombe no certain reference to it has been located in any manor court books. However one freehold tenement may relate to The Beeches a Messuage, barn, garden, orchard, close 1 acre near church – quit rent 1s 0d formerly in the hands of John Wood and which was taken into the hands of George Goring the lord of the manor in 1703. John Wood held other land associated with the Beeches estate (see P113/ 24 TA 1207). Elizabeth Egles was married to George Goring c1703 and it was possibly at that time that the property came into the hands of the Egles family.Manorial TenementsProbable freehold tenement manor of BarcombeMessuage, barn, garden, orchard, close 1 acre near church

P113/71 - 2007 The Anchor Public HouseSummary

The site of the pub and adjoining land was manorial demesne named Rail Field in the early 18th century (29). In 1724 it was sold with Butcher’s Field to Christopher Mansel (20). By 1840 Butcher’s Field was owned by Thomas Richardson as part of P113/53/4 (TA586-589, 643). George and Alfred Wood, the owners in 1840, were brewers from Cliffe in Lewes.The pub name implies that the development of the property as a public house coincided with the development of the nearby Ouse navigation in the final decade of the 18th century. James Funnell was the tenant of both the inn and the land in 1840. Manorial tenementsPart former demesne land of the manor of Barcombe sold in 1724 (29).

P113/72 - 2007 Bunce’s Farm and landSummary

The farm name is derived from the Bunce family, owners in the 17th-18th century. The name occurs in parish registers from 1667.The rental of 1565 records a tenement called Bremes and Hoppers valued at 7s 0d, although it is impossible to reconcile the acreage attributed to the tenement, this land, together with the adjoining land owned by James Slater in 1840 (see TA 45), may represent that early tenement. Slater’s land was said to be ‘called Breens’ in 1734. Walter Brene is recorded living in Barcombe in 1327 and 1332 and he was probably living at this tenement.Manorial tenementsTwo copyhold tenements of the manor of BarcombeBreenes, messuage, 2 barns, 2 gardens, 2 orchards, 15 pieces 40 acres 1834 Grant Barcombe 1 acre N: Road B Cross/Piltdown NE: Waste SE & SW: self

P113/74 - 2007 The Old Rectory, Old Rectory Cottage, St Mary’s Church, glebeland adjoining the Rectory and on the North End stream.

SummaryGlebe land - A portion of land assigned to a clergyman as part of his benefice. A parsonage house was customarily part of this landholding. Most of the glebe in Barcombe surrounded the rectory, but one detached portion, the aptly named Parson’s Wallets, lay on the North End Stream. The glebe in 1840 accords remarkably well with that recorded in a series of glebe terriers (records of glebe land) surviving from the 17th century (25). The names listed here are the rectors of the parish recorded in the church (up to but not including the 20th century) who would have been considered owners of the glebe during their incumbency.The church yard was not glebe land but as it was considered the property of the rector for the time being the tithe field number has been included here. In 1840 the church had not yet been rebuilt and neither had the churchyard been extended into Church Field to create the additional burial ground. The land for that purpose was given to the church in 1872 by Mrs Cope, the widow of Nicholas Garland. A parsonage house was recorded here in 1340 and in the 17th century (63), (25). The description of the land and house in the 17th century terriers confirms that the parsonage house was on the site of the present Old Rectory which was built in the late 19th century. It is probable that the medieval priests’ house was on the same site. Notably it is the only medieval dwelling, other than Court House, recorded in this southern part of the parish adjacent to the parish church. The archaeological evidence also supports the view that there was never substantial medieval settlement in this part of the parish.Other land recorded here was acquired as part of the effort to provide a new church at Spithurst and a parochial school in the course of the 19th century.Manorial tenement Not manorial in origin
