from any of the ports of that kingdom. (William

Leicester, with a view to a lease thereof to Lewis,
Lord Rockingham, for 29 years from 1693, Lady day,
at the ancient rent of 10l. per an.
Prefixing : said Surveyor's report on said Lord's
petition for such lease. In July, 1662, Edward,
Lord Rockingham, petitioner's father, petitioned
for a lease thereof, which my father [Sir Charles
Harbord, late Surveyor General of Crown Lands]
rated at 10l. per an. rent (being above a moiety of
the improved value according to the Parliament's
Survey) and 20l. fine ; but on a second petition
in 1664 he reported that the premises had been
let for many years at a rackt rent of 10l. per an. :
and the lease was accordingly granted in 1665-6,
Feb. 15, at said rent without fine. It does not
appear to me that these lands were exchanged by
petitioner's grandfather for other things in Rockingham,
co. Northants, as suggested by petitioner :
but the lands lie in the common fields and in the
lease were valued but at 3s. 4d. per acre per an. |

Treasury warrant to the Surveyor General of Crown
Lands for a particular of the scite and demesnes
of the late Priory of St. Peter's in Eye, co. Suffolk,
and the manor of Eye with the rectory there :
with a view to a reversionary lease thereof to Charles,
Lord Cornwallis, for 31 years at 20l. 2s. 9½d. per an.
rent and fine of 300l. for the scite and demesnes
and 15l. 3s. 9d. per an. rent for the manor.
Prefixing : said Surveyor General's report on said
Lord's petition for same and on a similar petition
from William Sherrington for the scite and demesnes,
of which he alleges himself to be tenant in possession.
By patent of 1595, June 26, said scite and demesnes
were granted to Edward Honyng for life, with
reversion to Ursula, his wife, and Wingfeild Honyng,
their son. By patent of 1598, June 29, the same (with
the manor of Eye, then in lease to Charles Cutler
for 31 years from 1575) were granted to said Edward
Honyng at 20l. 7s. 9½d. per an. for the scite and
demesnes for 40 years after the death of the longest
liver and 15l. 13s. 9d. per an. for the manor for
40 years absolute the grant issuing out of the
Rectory being 13l. 6s. 8d. per an., and the Honor
of Rye being excepted out of this grant. Wingfeild
Honyng was buried 1658, Nov. 30, as is certified
by Edward Littleton, clerk of St. Buttolphs Without
Aldersgate. The grant of the manor to Cutler
expired in 1596 and the 40 years' term therein
expired in 1636 ; of the grant of the scite and
demesnes there are eight years still to run. The
rent of the manor has been constantly answered
by George Welsh. By the Parliament's Survey
"these lands" with the scite contain 291 acres
and are valued at 165l. per an. above the rent, but
in 1684 my deputy, Mr. Fisher, valued it at only
80l. per an. above the rent, the houses being run
to decay and the woods destroyed and the lands
being in several persons' possessions who had the
whole term assigned to them. I advise a fine of
300l. therefor. The manor was valued at 20l.
per an. in the Parliament's Survey, but at present
the quit rents do not exceed the rent of 15l. 13s. 9d.
and the profits of Court are very inconsiderable.
The rectory "is not in the Crown that I can find,"
but there is a dry rent of 13l. 6s. 8d. per an. issuing
out of it which was made part of the present Queen
Dowager's jointure and the reversion was sold to
Sir Samuel Barnardiston in 1672, July 24. The
abovesaid scite and demesnes have often been
claimed by some general words to be part of the
late Queen Mother's jointure, but they are not
mentioned in the ratal on which the said jointure
passed, and the rent has always been answered to
the Crown and not to the said late Queen Mother.
As to Mr. Sherrington, he is in possession of the
scite and 196 acres by several mesne assignments
and he has paid the rent to the Crown for 40 years. |
