Sir Thomas Charlton, who presented to the church in 1427, held the manor in 1429 along with Cowley Hall and lands in Cowley called Ely's. He continued to hold Cowley Hall but by 1431 Cowley Peachey had passed to Robert Warner (d. 1439). Warner was succeeded by his daughter Elizabeth, who married Walter Green. She was in possession in1461 and died as a widow in 1473, leaving as heir her son Robert Green. Robert's widow Cecily married John Acton and held the manor at her death in 1480, when it came to her son Edward Green. He died without heirs in 1493, and his sister Cecily, wife of William Burbage, inherited Cowley. Cecily may have married again, for William Bedyll and Cecily his wife presented to the church in 1509 and 1516. She was succeeded by her son Thomas Burbage, who owned the manor at least from 1522 to 1550. His son Robert lived at Hayes Park, and it is likely that his ancestors since Walter Green had done the same. • Manorial Estate, 1594-1602, Lancing Manor, Lancing, West Sussex, BN15, GB. 6 In 1400 Richard Radmyld died seised of Lancing, his brother and heir Ralph being named as lord in 1412. From 1426 Lancing descended with the Radmyld moiety of Broadwater (after 1457 the whole manor). After the death of William Radmyld in 1499, however, it diverged from that descent, passing after complicated transactions to Radmyld's cousin and co-heir John Goring of Burton, whose family had held lands in Lancing since the late 14th century. After John's death in 1520 the manor passed from father to son through Sir William (d. 1553/4), Sir Henry (d. 1594), Sir William (d. 1601-2), Sir Henry (d. 1626), Sir William (d. 1658), Sir Henry (d. 1671), and Sir William (d. 1724). • Manorial Estate, 1594-1602, Balneath Manor, Chailey, Lewes, East Sussex, BN8 4AP, GB. 2 7 Balneath (or Balneth) formed part of the possessions of St. Pancras Priory at Lewes until the Dissolution. It was perhaps identical with the land which William de Warenne granted to the priory about 1095, being his demesne land 'from Beuehorne (Bevern) Bridge to Cheagele (Chailey) from the east road to the road beside the Bridge of Hamwde', which seems roughly to correspond with its present situation. The tenants of this manor had to carry 600 cartloads of wood yearly to the priory from Homewoodand Balneath Wood. • Manorial Estate, 1594-1602, Ovingdean Manor, Brighton, East Sussex, BN2, GB. 8 Before 1524 the manor had passed to William Everard of Albourne who in that year bequeathed the manor to his wife Jane until his son John should be 22. The manor, stocked with 1,200 sheep, was then to pass to John, who was also to have the 'ferm lands' which William held at Ovingdean, evidently the land belonging to Lewes Priory. This was to be stocked with 800 sheep, besides oxen, kine, hogs, and horses. • Inquisition: Post Mortem, 9 Apr 1595, Arundel, West Sussex, BN18, GB. 4 481 HENRY GORINGE, knt.

William next married Margaret Chaloner, daughter of Thomas Chaloner of Lindfield, Sussex and Alice Shirley, after 1576.3 (Margaret Chaloner was born about 1546.) |
