Conveyance of the Manor of Cove, 1580

Taken from A Collection of Records and Documents relatong to the Hundred and Manor of Crondal. Part 1 Historical and Manorial by Francis Joseph Baigent. London & Winchester 1891.

 

 

It appears that the tithing of Cove had been separated from Itchel, and was at this time considered, or reputed, to be a manor of itself. We annex a fine relating to the conveyance of it, by Thomas Brabon and Ann, his wife, to Robert White, Esquire, of Aldershot, and Mary his wife, as a separate manor, containing 2040 acres of land, three messuages, three tofts, four gardens, three orchards, and a 100s. of rent.

 

Translation :--

4 May, 1580. This is the final agreement, made in the court of our lady the Queen, at Westminster, in the quinzaine of Easter, in the twenty-second year of the reigns of Elizabeth, by the grace of God of England, France, and Ireland Queen, Defender of the Faith, &c., before James Dyer, Thomas Meade, and Francis Wyndham, justices, and other faithful subjects of our lady the Queen, then and there present ; between Robert White, Esquire, and Mary his wife, plaintiffs, and Thomas Brabon and Ann his wife, defendants ; concerning the manor of Cove, with appurtenances, and three messuages, three tofts, four gardens, three orchards, twenty acres of land, ten acres of meadow, ten acres of pasture, 2000 acres of heath and gorse, and l00s. of rent, with appurtenances, in Yateley and Cove; whereupon a plea of agreement was summoned between them in the same court; to wit, that the aforesaid Thomas and Ann acknowledged the aforesaid manor, tenements, and rent, with appurtenances, to be the right of the said Robert, as the same which the said Robert and Mary have of the gift of the aforesaid Thomas and Ann. And they have remised and quit-claimed the same for themselves, Thomas and Ann, and the heirs of the said Thomas, to the aforesaid Robert and Mary, and to the heirs of the said Robert, for ever. And, moreover, the said Thomas and Ann undertook for themselves and the heirs of the said Thomas, to warrant to the aforesaid Robert and Ann, and to the heirs of the said Robert, the aforesaid manor, tenements, and rent, with appurtenances, against the aforesaid Thomas and Ann, and the heirs of the said Thomas, for ever. And for this acknowledgment, remise, quit-claim, warranty, fine, and agreement, the said Robert and Mary gave to the aforesaid Thomas and Am £120 sterling.
