Yeoman.
Oxroad, now usually called Ostrude, is a manor, situated a little distance eastward from North Eleham. It had antiently owners of the same name; Andrew de Oxroad held it of the countess of Ewe, in the reign of king Edward I. by knight's service, as appears by the book of them in the king's remembrancer's office. In the 20th year of king Edward III. John, son of Simon atte Welle, held it of the earl of Ewe by the like service. After which the Hencles became possessed of it, from the reign of king Henry IV. to that of king Henry VIII. when Isabel, daughter of Tho. Hencle, marrying John Beane, entitled him to it, and in his descendants it continued till king Charles I.'s reign, when it was alienated to Mr. Daniel Shatterden, gent. of this parish

Among the State Papers in the Eecord Office
there is a^curious certificate signed by the vicar and
churchwarden of Elham. It runs thus :* " Theise are
to eertifye^that Tho. Neuett of Elham that is appoynted
to beare armes is a poore man, a carpenter by
trade, that hath noethinge but what he getts by his
labour, in witness whereof.we have sett to our
hands.
" Thos. Allen, vicar of Elham.
" "William Tucker, Churchwarden.
" Edmund Wyse.
" John Beane."
* ' Domestic State Papers,' Charles I., vol. xiv., No. 71.
The certificate is undated but is supposed to belong
to the year 1625. Why or how Nevett obtained a
grant of armorial bearings it is difficult to say.
Perhaps he was a scion of the family of Knyvett, or
it may be that this is the instance of a corrupt grant
of arms, for which John Philipot and Sir Henry St.
George are said to have been fined in 1639.*

Yves I (Ivo) de Bellême
Lord of Bellême, living 1005.
Yves was the first known lord of Bellême, south of Normandy, a powerful lordship during the late tenth and eleventh centuries which eventually passed to heiresses in the late eleventh century. He was succeeded at some time after 1005 by his son Guillaume, and his son Yves II also became lord of Bellême (in succession to Guillaume's son Robert). As discussed below in the Commentary section, the origin of this family is a difficult problem which has not yet been definitively settled.
Date of Birth: Unknown.
Place of Birth: Unknown.
Date of Death: After 1005.
Yves gave Magny-le-Désert to Gauzlin, abbot of Fleury, who did not become abbot until 1005 ["Ivo Belesmensis, ..., hujus dilecti Dei Haudquaquam immemor extitit, Magniacum cedendo illi. Quo tamen defuncto, Willelmus, ejus filius, ..." Vita Gauzlini, c. 9, 282; White (1940): 73-4]
Place of Death: Unknown.
Father: Unknown.
Mother: Unknown.
See the Commentary section.
Spouse: Godehilde, living 1005, survived her husband.
Yves mentions his wife Godehilde in a charter of uncertain date ["... ego Ivo, ..., in castro meo Belismo, ..., et pro anime mee, conjugisque mee Godehildis, sive filiis meis vel genitoribus meis remedio, ..." Cart. Marmoutier, 1-2 (#1)]. She also appears with her son Guillaume [see below].
Children:
Yves and Godehilde are directly attested as the parents of Guillaume and Avesgaud. The other children are documented by their connection to one of these two siblings. The chronology of the children of Yves and Godehilde is uncertain, because much of what is known comes from charters which can only be dated to within certain ranges.
MALE Guillaume I, d. after 1027, lord of Bellême, after 1005-after 1027.
Guillaume and his mother Godehilde confirmed a charter of Yves after the latter's death ["Post obitum autem Ivonis, ego Willelmus et Godehildis mater mea, ..." Cart. Marmoutier, 3 (#1)]. According to Guillaume de Jumièges, he fought against duke Robert of Normandy, placing his death after the accession of that duke [GND vi, 4; vol. 2, pp. 48-51]. Guillaume is called a brother of bishop Avesgaud by the Actus Pontificum Cenomannis ["... petivit praesul Belismum, fratris sui Guillelmi castellum, ..." Act. Pont. Cenom., c. 30, 356].
MALE Avesgaud, d. Verdun, 27 October 1036, bishop of Le Mans, ca. 1004 - 1036.
Avesgaud names his parents as Yves and Godehilde ["Ego Avesgaudus, Cenomannensium presul, ... etiam mea meorumque parentaum, Ivonis scilicet atque Godehildis, ..." Act. Pont. Cenom., c. 30, 356 n. 7, citing Livre blanc (imp.), 69, #121, De domo Ardentium]. Also, as noted above, Guillaume de Bellême is called his brother by the Actus [Act. Pont. Cenom., c. 30, 356]. Avesgaud is called the nepos of Seifrid, his predecessor as bishop of Le Mans ["Sepulto autem Segenfrido, episcopo et monacho, domnus Avesgaudus, nepos ipsius, sedem episcopalem suscepit." Act. Pont. Cenom., c. 30, 355]. [Date and place of death: "1036. Obiit Avesgaudus Cenomannorum episcopus, post quem nepos eius Gervasius eodem anno factus est episcopus." Annales Remenses et Colonienses, MGH SS 16: 731; 27 Oct: "obiit Avesgaudus, Cenomanensium episcopus." Nec. Mans, 285; Nec. Verdun, 289; "Annualis avunculi mei domini Avesgaudi, episcopi, quotannis decenter agatur, qui Iherosolimis rediens, apud Verdunis, VI kalendas novembris, obiit in pace, ibique sepultus est ..." Act. Pont. Cenom., c. 31, 370]
MALE Yves II, lord of Bellême, probably in the 1040's.
Robert, son and successor of Guillaume I as lord of Bellême, was in turn succeeded by his uncle Yves ["Post mortem autem Rotberti, filii Wilelmi, Ivo suus avunculus, succeedens heriditati dedit, pro anima sui nepotis Rotberti ..." Cart. Marmoutier, 4 (#1)]. The usually overlooked succession of Yves II was pointed out by Kathleen Thompson, who would place the rule of Yves over the lordship in the 1040's [Thompson (1985): 217-9].
FEMALE Hildeburge, d. 27 October 1024;
m. Hamon, d. 15 January 1031, lord of Château-du-Loir.
Actus Pontificum Cenomannis states that she was the eldest sister of Avesgaud, and calls Godehilde the second sister ["... emit a canonicis suis ecclesaim de Prorigniaco et ecclesiam de Loiaco, et dedit unam Hildeburgi, sorori suae primogenitae, et alteram Godehildae, germanae suae secundae." Act. Pont. Cenom., c. 30, 357]. In his testament, bishop Gervaise mentions his avuculus Avesgaud and his parents Hamon and Hildeburge, sister of Avesgaud ["Ego Gervasius, sancte Cenomannensis ecclesie, non merito, presul ... et avunculi mei Avesgaudi ... necnon et genotoris cum genetrice mea, Haimonis scilicet et Hildeburga, ... avunculi mei domini Avesgaudi, episcopi, ... sororis ejus, matris quippe mee Hyldeburge: nec pretermittatur ille patris mei Haimonis ..." ibid., c. 31, 367-371]. For the erroneous alleged marriage of Hildeburge to a certain Albert, see the page of Hildeburge.
FEMALE Godehilde.
As noted above, Actus Pontificum Cenomannis states that she was the second sister of Avesgaud [Act. Pont. Cenom., c. 30, 357]. There does not seem to be any other early reference to her, but that has not stopped some scholars from attempting to marry her off to various individuals. The editors of the Actus, Busson and Ledru, suggested the tentative identification that Godehilde was the same person as a certain Godehilde who was wife of Raoul, viscount of Le Mans [ibid., 357 n. 6], but Keats-Rohan pointed out that this identification is not chronologically feasible [Keats-Rohan (1994), 16]. Godehilde has sometimes been given the marriage to a certain Albert that is often wrongly assigned to her sister Hildeburge [e.g., Bry (1620), 137; Boussard (1951), 46-7], but since Godehilde was younger than Hildeburge, the chronological reasons for rejecting the marriage of Hildeburge to Albert also apply to any supposed marriage of Godehilde and Albert. The commonly used Europäische Stammtafeln combines these two errors by having Godehilde marry first Albert de la Ferté-en-Beauce and second a viscount of Maine [ES 3.4: 636]. White errs in making Godehilde (rather than Hildeburge) the wife of Hamon de Château-du-Loir [White (1940): 75-6, 98], but it is well attested that Hildeburge was Hamon's wife. Thus, none of the attempts to give Godehilde a husband rests on a sound basis.
Probable brother or brother-in-law: Seifrid, d. 16 February of an unknown year [Nec. Mans 39], bishop of Le Mans, ca. 971-1004.
As noted above, Avesgaud is called a nepos of Seifrid, probably to be interpreted as "nephew" in this case [Act. Pont. Cenom., c. 30, 355]. See the Commentary section for more on the possible relationship of Seifrid and Yves.
Possible brother or brother-in-law: Fulcoin.
Possible sister or sister-in-law: Rothais.
Possible nephew: Yves, fl. 996×1004, son of Fulcoin and Rothais.
Since Yves, grantor of the foundation charter of Abayette, son of Fulcoin and Rothais, mentioned bishop Seifrid as his avunculus, who in turn calls Avesgaud his nepos, and since it is natural to conjecture a connection between the two men named Yves, there is a good possibility that Yves de Bellême was an uncle of Yves, founder of Abayette. See the Commentary section.
Commentary
Much has been written regarding the parentage of Yves de Bellême, but there is still no definitive solution to this problem.
Supposed father (unlikely): Yves de Creil, fl. 945 (living 981?).
Supposed mother (unlikely): Geile, living 981.
The Ecclesiastical History of Orderic Vitalis mentions a certain "Ivo de Credolio regis balistarius" [OV 3: 306] who was earlier called the father of Guillaume de Bellême in an addition by Orderic Vitalis to the Gesta Normannorum Ducum of Guillaume de Jumièges [GND iv, 4 (vol. 1, pp. 104-5)]. This Yves de Creil (Ivo de Credulio) has then been plausibly identified with a certain Yves who had a wife Geile and son Yves [see White (1940): 68-73], but no direct evidence has been found for a connection of these individuals with the lords of Bellême. Since it is not chronologically plausible for this Yves de Creil to be the father of Guillaume de Bellême, those who accept Orderic's account as having some foundation have instead added a generation by placing Yves de Creil as the father of Yves de Bellême, although White, who accepted this scenario, was careful to call the link probable rather than proven [White (1940): 71, 98]. Since this theory has as its only support a noncontemporary source which is evidently false in the statement it gives, is not supported by a later statement by the same author (Orderic, who omitted the supposed connection to Guillaume de Bellême in his ecclesiastical history), and other indications seem to place the origins of the Bellême closer to home (see in particular the three papers of Keats-Rohan in the bibliography), this scenario seems unlikely.
Most recent discussions of the origin of Yves de Bellême have centered on the fact that his son bishop Avesgaud of Le Mans was a nepos (here almost certainly meaning "nephew") of his predecessor Seifrid, who was in turn an avunculus of a another Yves/Ivo, son of Fulcoin, grantor of the foundation charter of Abbayette (996×1004), in which Ivo granted the charter "... cum consensu et uoluntate meorum parentum, duarum uidelicet sororum mearum: Billehendis atque Erenburgis, necnon duorum auunculorum: Seinfredi episcopi et Guillelmi, atque cognatorum: Guillelmi clerici, Roberti Sutsardi rursusque Guillelmi laici... pro salute anime meae atque patris mei Fulconii et matris mee Rothais et omnium meorum parentum ..." (... with the consent and will of my relatives, viz., two of my sisters Billehendis and Erenburgis, and also two uncles, bishop Senfridus and Guillelmus, and relatives Guillelmus clericus, Robertus[,] Sutsardus, and finally Guillelmus laicus ... for the health of my soul and of my father Fulconus and my mother Rothais and all of my relatives ...) [Keats-Rohan (1994), 24]. Although it is certain that Yves de Bellême and Yves son of Fulcoin were different individuals, their careless identification as the same individual has led some to the following false parentage for Yves de Bellême:
Falsely attributed father: Fulcoin.
Falsely attributed mother: Rothais.
(While most of the standard sources have avoided this error, it can be occasionally found in internet genealogies.)
As has been pointed out before [e.g., White (1940): 91-5], the fact that Yves de Bellême was not among those consenting to the Abbayette charter makes it difficult (but not decisively so) to make Yves de Bellême a full brother of bishop Seifrid, since if the latter had some interest in the property which required his consent, then it is likely that the former did also. Thus, White (1940): 91-5, makes Seifrid a brother of Godehilde, wife of Yves. Keats-Rohan (1996, 1997), setting aside an earlier opinion that Yves and Seifird might have been full brothers [Keats-Rohan (1994): 14], suggested that they were in fact uterine brothers (which would get rid of the difficulty mentioned above), and conjectured that the parents of Yves de Bellême may have been as follows:
Proposed father (very conjectural): Hervé, count of Mortagne.
Proposed mother (very conjectural): [Hildeburge], daughter of Raoul II, viscount of Le Mans.
These proposed relationships are a part of a lengthy discussion which takes place across the three papers of Keats-Rohan cited below, but no direct evidence can be cited in support of either of these relationships, and in fact some of the relationships which lead up to these suggestions are themselves conjectural. There is no direct evidence that Raoul II had a daughter named Hildeburge (whose name is itself a conjecture for onomastic reasons), nor that Hervé was married to a daughter of Raoul. Although these conjectures form a good stimulus for further research, they cannot be accepted without further evidence.
Conjectured sister (plausible): Hildeburge, m. Albert, brother of Anno, abbot of Jumièges and Saint-Mesmin de Micy.
(parents of Albert, abbot of Saint-Mesmin de Micy)
In a charter of 1023×7, abbot Albert of Saint-Mesmin de Micy donates property in Bellême from his maternal inheritance ["Ego Albertus, abbas abbatiae sanctorum Stephani prothomartyris et Christi confessoris Maximini, ..., erat michi quidam alodus ex materna hereditate, ..., dedi pro remedio anime meae filiique mei Arnulfi, Turonensis archiepiscopi, et parentum meorum, ... Est autem ipse alodus in pago Bethlemensi, quem vocant Domna Maria, ..." Cart. Jumièges, 24 (39); also in Bry (1620), 51]. This confirms the Bellême origin of Albert's mother Hildeburge, and she is often identified with Hildeburge, daughter of Yves, and assigned consecutive marriages to Albert and Hamon, in that order [Depoin (1909), 156-8; Head (1990), 227 n. 126]. However, as is discussed on the page of Hildeburge, daughter of Yves, this identification is not chronologically feasible. In fact, the elder Albert's wife Hildeburge appears to be about a generation earlier than the other Hildeburge, daughter of Yves and wife of Hamon. A close relationship between the two Hildeburges is a definite possibility, and Keats-Rohan, following Louise, would make the elder Hildeburge a sister of Yves de Bellême [Keats-Rohan (1996), 17, 27-8, 20 & n. 40, citing Louise (1990-1), 1: 161 (not seen by me)].

Life[edit]
Yves was probably the son of Yves de Creil,[a][1] one of those who saved young Duke Richard I from death or mutilation at hand of King Louis IV of France.[2] Yves de Bellême held the castle and lands of Bellême, of the King of France, as well as the Sonnois and part of the Passais, both held of the Count of Maine.[3] That he held part of the march-lands of Passais is known from his having given abbot Gauzlin of Fleury Abbey the lands of Magny-le-Désert.[1]
His wife was named Godeheut and although her parentage is unknown, she was the sister of Seinfroy, Bishop of Le Mans.[4][5] Yves was the founder of a church dedicated to the Virgin Mary in his castle of Bellême and endowed it with a church in the Sonoisis, another at Vieux Bellême plus a vill and three other churches in the Hiesmois.[1] Yves died sometime after 1005.[6]
Family[edit]
Yves de Bellême and his wife Godeheut had five children:
William of Bellême (960/5 - 1028), succeeded his father as seigneur de Bellême.[4][5]
Yves de Bellême (d. 1030), Abbot of Fleury.[5]
Avesgaud de Bellême (d. 1036), Bishop of Le Mans.[5]
Hildeburg, abt. 1006 married Aimon, Seigneur de Chateau-du-Loir.[5]
Godehilde,[5] married Hamon-aux-Dents or Hamon Le Dentu, he was the 1st Baron of Le Creully and he was Lord over Creully, Torigni, Évrecy & St. Scolasse-sur-Sarthe, but he lost all his lands, after trying to kill William the bastard, in the battle of Val-ès-Dunes, Normandy, France

Notes[edit]
Jump up ^ Yves de Criel and Yves de Bellême are confused by several sources and thought to be the same person by some. Yves de Criel, who was instrumental in saving young Richard I of Normandy would not chronologically be possible to be the same as Yves de Bellême, the subject of this article, who died c. 1005. Geoffrey White believed Yves de Criel was probably the father of Yves de Bellême, which was also accepted by all the French writers, but was of the opinion it should not be stated as fact as it was by Prentout. See: Geoffrey H. White, The First House of Bellême, TRHS, Vol. 22 (1940), pp. 70-71.

"Riwallon Ier de Dol, surnommé Capra Canuta (Chèvre Chenue), né en 1015 et mort en 1065, est seigneur de Combourg et avoué de Dol soit < signifer sancti Samsonis > (c'est-à-dire porte-enseigne de Saint Samson).
Riwallon est le fils du vicomte Hamon Ier d'Aleth et de son épouse Roianteline fille de Riwall. Il appartient à la famille des vicomtes d'Aleth dynastie qui contrôle le nord-est de la Bretagne et est aussi à l'origine des seigneurs de Dinan et de Combourg. Il doit sa charge de porte-enseigne de Saint Samson à son frère Junguénée (mort vers 1049), archevêque de Dol-de-Bretagne, qui est également à l'origine de la construction du château de Combourg situé à quatre lieues de la cité archiépiscopale et dont il confie la garde à Riwallon.
Riwallon, vassal du duc Conan II de Bretagne, entre en rébellion contre son suzerain et fait appel au duc de Normandie Guillaume le Conquérant dans son affrontement avec le duc de Bretagne. Ce dernier qui assiégeait Dol-de-Bretagne est battu en 1064 mais le duc de Normandie ne pousse pas son avantage plus avant en Bretagne1 Guillaume sera d'ailleurs assez rapidement occupé à une tâche d'une autre envergure avec la conquête de l'Angleterre.
Riwallon épousa Aremburge du Puiset, fille de Gelduin vicomte de Chartres ; ils eurent :
Guillaume, abbé de Saint-Florent de Saumur de 1070 à 1118 ;
Jean Ier de Dol, seigneur de Combourg puis archevêque de Dol de 1081 à 1092 ;

le: A.3.4: MANOR OF CATTESHALL
Reference: LM/
Description:
The manor of Catteshall comprised land in the north east of the parish of Godalming and land in Chiddingfold. Although at one time held by the de Broc family who held Godalming Hundred, the manor had a separate descent between 1224, when Edelina de Broc's estate was divided between the five heirs of her husband, and 1565, when John Wintershall conveyed Catteshall to William More. The manor remained in the tenure of the family until 1836 when James More Molyneux sold the manor to George Marshall of Broadwater (see 1281/-).
Catteshall manor does not consistently appear as a tithing in the main records of the Hundred courts. This is probably due to the convenience of keeping a separate record from which fines could be administered: Hamo de Gatton, lord of Catteshall, claimed the right to take the fines for views of frankpledge held at Catteshall by the lord of Godalming Hundred in c. 1279, and the VCH quotes an inquisition post mortem of 1292 which confirmed de Gatton's claim (Vol III, pp32-33). Court rolls for the manor itself include views after 1566 (LM/154). It is conceivable that separate records of views of frankpledge were not inherited by William More on his obtaining the manor, and that these have subsequently not survived.
Records relating to the Wintershalls' tenure of the manor include minutes of the manor of Selhurst otherwise Wintershall which was also held of the family at that time.
For rentals of the manor, 1651-1829, see records of the manor and hundred of Godalming, section A.3.7 below. For deeds of the manor see section G.3.4 and 5403/2/1; for records, 1840-1904, see 1218.

The Gatton or de Gatton family were an Anglo-Norman land-owning dynasty from Gatton in Surrey. Beginning with Hemfrid de Gatton they held significant parts of South-East England, particularly in Kent, Sussex and Surrey during the 11th, 12th and 13th Centuries.
Significant members[edit]
Hemfrid de Gatton (born: 1094, died: unknown)
Hamo de Gatton (born: 1125, Gatton, died: 1165)
Robert de Gatton (born: 1147, Gatton, died: 1190)
Hamo de Gatton (born: 1170, Gatton, died: 1216)
Robert de Gatton and the family lineage are mentioned in Edward Hasted's 1798 History of Kent thus:
In the reign of king Henry III. Robert de Gatton, who took his name from the lordship of Gatton, in Surry [sic], of which his ancestors had been some time owners, was in possession of the manor Thrule, and died in the 38th year of that reign, holding it by knight's service of the king, of the honor of Peverel, by reason of the escheat of that honor, &c. (fn. 2) He was succeeded in it by this eldest son Hamo de Gatton, who resided here, and served the office of sheriff in the 14th year of Edward I. His eldest son of the same name left one son Edmund, then an instant, who afterwards dying under age, his two sisters became his coheirs, and divided his inheritance, of which Elizabeth entitled her husband William de Dene to this manor, and all the rest of the estates in Kent; and Margery entitled her husband Simon de Norwood to Gatton, and all the other estates in Surry.

GATTON
Gatetune (x cent.); Gatone (xi cent.); Gatton (xii cent.).
Gatton is a small parish 2 miles north-east from Reigate. It is bounded on the north by Chipstead, on the east by Merstham, on the south by Reigate, and on the west by Kingswood in Ewell. It is on the crest and southern slope of the chalk downs, and extends southwards on to the Upper Green Sand and Gault. The church and such village as there is stand on the Green Sand. The parish measures about a mile from east to west, and a trifle more from north to south, and contains 1,200 acres of land and 32 of water. A tongue of the parish ran southwards, south of Merstham to the boundary of Nutfield, but was added to Merstham (q.v.) in 1899.
Practically the whole of Gatton is the property of the lord of the manor. Upper Gatton, standing in a park, was formerly the capital mansion of a separate manor (see below). It is now the seat of Mr. Alfred Benson. Nutwood Lodge is the seat of Capt. Charles Francis Cracroft Jarvis. The house called Gatton Tower is used as the rectory. The old rectory near the church was pulled down by Sir James Colebrooke, owner 1751–61, who also turned most of the glebe into the lake which he made, and altered the interior of the church, destroying all the old monuments. The Tower was originally what its name indicates, and probably built as a summer-house for the view on an eminence in the park, but has had a house attached to it.

GATTON
Gatetune (x cent.); Gatone (xi cent.); Gatton (xii cent.).
Gatton is a small parish 2 miles north-east from Reigate. It is bounded on the north by Chipstead, on the east by Merstham, on the south by Reigate, and on the west by Kingswood in Ewell. It is on the crest and southern slope of the chalk downs, and extends southwards on to the Upper Green Sand and Gault. The church and such village as there is stand on the Green Sand. The parish measures about a mile from east to west, and a trifle more from north to south, and contains 1,200 acres of land and 32 of water. A tongue of the parish ran southwards, south of Merstham to the boundary of Nutfield, but was added to Merstham (q.v.) in 1899.
The situation of Gatton is highly picturesque. The upper part of the parish, on the chalk hills, is upwards of 700 ft. above the sea. A great part of the centre of the parish is taken up by Gatton Park, which covers 550 acres, nearly a half of the whole acreage. In it is the lake formed by damming up water from small springs which ultimately flow down to the Mole. There are two other ponds. The parish is very well wooded with various kinds of trees.
The village is represented by a small group of houses at the north-eastern gate of the park; but there is no shop, no public-house, and now no school. There are five gentlemen's houses, one vacant, besides Gatton Park and the rectory, and one farm. There were undoubtedly other houses in the ground now covered by the park, but though Gatton was a borough there is no evidence that it was ever a place of any importance or of any large population.
The so-called town hall is an open portico supported on pillars in the pseudo-classical style, and may date from the 18th century, when the proprietor was usually the only voter. In it now is an urn 'in memory of the deceased borough.'
The same stone which is dug at Merstham is also found and worked in Gatton parish.
The road which skirts the north-eastern side of Gatton Park is apparently part of the old line of communication along the chalk downs, and the Ordnance map marks it as called in Gatton, 'The Pilgrims' Way.' This does not appear to be justified. The old way left the present road at a point near the north-east corner of the park and crossed the park to the present lodge, whence it continues still eastward to Merstham. The old line of road is clearly visible in the park. In the northern part of the parish British coins have been found, some way north of the old road. Close to the former school, much nearer the road and lodge entrance to the park just mentioned, both British and Roman coins have been found. In the park, near Nutwood House, is an ancient well which has what is supposed to be Roman masonry round the upper part. Roman tiles have been picked up, and the late rector, Mr. Larken, had a bronze ring which he found in the park, which was said by the late Sir A. W. Franks of the British Museum to be part of Roman ornamental horse trappings, intended to hold two straps together. There is therefore reason to believe that Gatton was occupied during the Roman dominion in Britain.
Practically the whole of Gatton is the property of the lord of the manor. Upper Gatton, standing in a park, was formerly the capital mansion of a separate manor (see below). It is now the seat of Mr. Alfred Benson. Nutwood Lodge is the seat of Capt. Charles Francis Cracroft Jarvis. The house called Gatton Tower is used as the rectory. The old rectory near the church was pulled down by Sir James Colebrooke, owner 1751–61, who also turned most of the glebe into the lake which he made, and altered the interior of the church, destroying all the old monuments. The Tower was originally what its name indicates, and probably built as a summer-house for the view on an eminence in the park, but has had a house attached to it.
There is now no school. The late Lord Oxenbridge supported a national school of about twenty children. It was started as an infant school about fifty years ago and made a mixed school about ten years later. It was his private property and sold with the estate. After the Act of 1902 it was discontinued. The few children attend Merstham or Chipstead School.
BOROUGH
So far as can be judged from somewhat scanty records there appear to be no traces of burgage tenure in Gatton before the middle of the 15th century, when it first sent two burgesses to Parliament, and subsequently there are no signs of a corporate community except in respect of the distinct Parliamentary representation of the 'borough.'
In 1086 the only tenants of the manor were 6 villeins and 3 bordars (fn. 1) and later extents do not show any peculiarity of tenure. The town inhabitants, numbering seventeen, were assessed in 1332 for a tenth as a town, instead of the fifteenth then levied from rural districts, (fn. 2) but the term 'borough' was not apparently applied to Gatton till 1450, when it returned two burgesses. (fn. 3) The returning officer was the constable, (fn. 4) who was at first appointed in the sheriff's tourn at Tandridge and afterwards in the quarter sessions. (fn. 5)
From 1450 until the Reform Act of 1832 Gatton returned two burgesses to Parliament. The first extant return, that of 1452–3, (fn. 6) was made by the constable 'with the assent of the whole borough.' (fn. 7) From the first it must have been a 'pocket' borough. In 1536 the Duke of Norfolk, then lord of the neighbouring borough of Reigate, noted Gatton, 'where Sir Roger Copley dwelleth,' among the towns for 'which in times past he could have made burgesses.' (fn. 8) In 1539 Sir Roger Copley found the privilege burdensome, for there was only one house to be any help in paying the members' wages. (fn. 9) In 1547 Sir Roger, as 'burgess and only inhabitant of the borough and town,' elected Richard Shelley and John Tyngelden, (fn. 10) and after his death his widow nominated the burgesses, one of them in 1558, her own son, then under age. (fn. 11) After the death of Sir Thomas Copley in 1584 his widow was not allowed to elect burgesses, since she was a recusant, but members were nominated in 1584 by Lord Burghley as chief officer of the Court of Wards. (fn. 12) In 1586 the lords of the Council recommended two members to the deputy-lieutenants of the county, but two others of similar loyal opinions were in fact returned. (fn. 13) The Copleys, who were always notorious recusants, never regained their right of nomination, though their influence must have been considerable, for in a dispute concerning the election of 1620 it was stated that six out of the seven houses in the 'town' were occupied by tenants of William Copley, although the right of election was decided in favour of the freeholders, (fn. 14) and in 1696 it was agreed that the franchise was in the freeholders of the borough not receiving alms and occupying their own freeholds. (fn. 15) In 1832 the borough was disfranchised as having, with its twenty-three houses, the unenviable position of fourth from the bottom of the list of 'rotten boroughs.'
There is no evidence of a charter of incorporation.
MANOR
One hide at Gatton was bequeathed by Alfred the Ealdorman to Ethelwald his son between the years 871 and 889. (fn. 16) In the time of Edward the Confessor Gatton was assessed at 10 hides. It was held by Earl Leofwine, brother of Earl Harold, who held the earldom of the county. (fn. 17) He fell at Hastings, and Gatton became the land of Bishop Odo of Bayeux, of whom it was held by a certain Herfrey. (fn. 18)
The bishop forfeited the overlordship of Gatton with his other English possessions through his complicity in the Norman rebellion of 1088. Probably it was then held of his manor of Ospringe, co. Kent, to which the lord of Gatton was said to owe suit of court from the 13th century onwards. (fn. 19) Both Ospringe and Gatton were members of the honour of Peverel in Dover. (fn. 20)
The actual tenant in 1086 was Herfrey. His son or grandson Hamon gave a moiety of the manor to Ralph de Dene in marriage with his elder daughter Joan, reserving to himself the other moiety for life, with remainder to Ralph.
The agreement was confirmed by Henry II, (fn. 21) but Hamon's heir male, Robert de Gatton, (fn. 22) evidently took possession of his moiety, but was ousted c. 1190, by Geoffrey de Beauvale in right of his wife Idonea. She was mother of Robert de Dene, (fn. 23) and probably connected with Ralph de Dene, for in 1220 the heirs of Ralph de Dene, Geoffrey Sackville, Richard de Cumberland, his wife Sibyl, and Parnel de Beauvale, granddaughter of Geoffrey de Beauvale, impleaded Hamon son of Robert de Gatton for his failure to keep an agreement concerning a moiety of the manor with Robert de Dene. (fn. 24) .
The plea was postponed on account of the minority of Parnel, whose mother Margery had recovered seisin of one carucate at Gatton against Hamon before 1223. (fn. 25) In that year he recovered this carucate from Parnel, since her father Ralph son of Geoffrey de Beauvale, a spendthrift who hated his heirs, had restored it to Robert de Gatton for £28 in the time of King John. (fn. 26) In 1227 she joined with the other heirs of Ralph de Dene in a release of the whole manor to Hamon de Gatton. (fn. 27) He was appointed escheator of the Crown for Surrey in 1232, (fn. 28) but died in or before 1235, when his lands, saving the dower of his widow Beatrice, were given into the custody of William of York during the minority of his heir. (fn. 29) This heir was probably Robert de Gatton, (fn. 30) who died seised of the manor in or before 1264. (fn. 31) His son and heir Hamon, Sheriff of Kent in 1285, (fn. 32) was holding the manor at his death shortly before 1 February 1291–2. (fn. 33) He was succeeded by a son of the same name, whose infant son Edmund inherited Gatton upon his death, c. 1299. (fn. 34) The custody of all Hamon's lands with the exception of Gatton Park was granted in 1301 to the executors of Edmund Earl of Cornwall in part payment of the king's debt to him. (fn. 35) They conveyed it to Sir William Milksop, kt., who sold it to John Northwood. (fn. 36) Edmund de Gatton did not live to enjoy his inheritance, which was divided between his two sisters and co-heirs, Elizabeth wife of William de Dene, and Margaret wife of Simon Northwood, brother or son of John Northwood. (fn. 37) Gatton was evidently assigned to the latter, for her husband was holding the manor in 1327, (fn. 38) and her son Sir Robert Northwood, kt., was holding in 1344, (fn. 39) and was summoned to do homage for it in 1345. (fn. 40) He died in 1360, leaving a son and heir Thomas. (fn. 41) The latter's sisters and co-heirs, Agnes Northwood and Joan wife of John de Levedale, conveyed the manor to Richard, Earl of Arundel and Surrey, in 1364, (fn. 42) and Gatton was among the lands seized by the Crown on the attainder and execution of his son Richard in 1397. (fn. 43) His son Thomas, Earl of Arundel, was restored to his father's lands in 1399, (fn. 44) and so probably to Gatton, although no record mentions his tenure of it. At his death in 1415 his lands were divided among his three sisters and co-heirs, the eldest of whom, Elizabeth, married Thomas Mowbray, Duke of Norfolk. Her great-grandson, John, Duke of Norfolk, probably granted Gatton about 1446 (fn. 45) to his retainer John Timperley, (fn. 46) who in 1449 had licence to inclose the manor. (fn. 47)
John Timperley conveyed the manor (fn. 48) to feoffees to the use of Roger Copley and his wife Anne and their heirs. (fn. 49) Roger Copley, son of the former Roger and Anne, in May 1537 entailed it on his son Thomas; after his death, which took place in 1548, (fn. 50) his widow Elizabeth nominated the burgesses, and Thomas Copley represented Gatton in 1554, 1557–8, and 1562–3. (fn. 51) Under Queen Mary he was committed to the custody of the Serjeant at Arms for indiscreet words in favour of the Lady Elizabeth in Parliament. (fn. 52) He had scruples about the oath of supremacy, left England without licence in 1569 and became a leader among the English fugitives, was created Baron Copley of Gatton by the King of Spain, and died in Flanders in 1584. (fn. 53) His son and heir William Copley settled the manor on his younger son William in 1615, but the latter died in 1623 in his lifetime, leaving two infant daughters, Mary and Anne. (fn. 54) His estate had been sequestered for his recusancy c. 1611, and an annuity of £160 from it granted to Sir William Lane, who had evidently procured the sequestration. (fn. 55).

48. It is strange that as late as 1468–9 Gatton is included in lands granted by the Duke of Norfolk to Thomas Hoo and others, apparently trustees, who seem to have granted these lands to a certain John Charlys in exchange for a manor in Suffolk (Feet of F. Div. Co. 8 Edw. IV, 64; Early Chan. Proc. bdle. 137, no. 4). Whether this inclusion is an error or not it is difficult to say, but in 1518 Roger Copley received a quitclaim from Michael Denys and his wife Margery (Feet of F. Surr. Mich. 10 Hen. VIII) which may represent Charlys' interest.
