West Horsley MANOR
"The earliest mention of WEST HORSLEY occurs in the 9th century, when a
certain Dux Alfred granted it to Werburg his wife. fn. 6 Bricsi held it
in the time of Edward the Confessor, fn. 7 and at the time of the Survey
it was in the possession of Walter
son
of Other, fn. 8 from whom the family of Windsor descended. fn. 9 Hugh de
Windsor, grandson of Walter, fn. 10 held a knight's fee in West Horsley
in 1166. Hamo de Wudecote in 1232 brought a suit against Hugh de Windsor,
who seems to have been a younger son of the Hugh last mentioned, concerning
services which Hugh claimed from him. fn. 11 Some ten years later Hugh
de Windsor bought the right of common pasture in eighty acres of land in
West Horsley. fn. 12 In 1271 Hugh son of Hugh de Windsor granted the manor
to Ralph de Berners and Christina de Windsor, his wife, in return for an
annual rent of £10 during the life of Hugh. fn. 13 This Christina
was probably the daughter of Hugh de Windsor; most of the old historians
agree in asserting that the manor passed to the Berners family by reason
of the succession of heirs female. fn. 14 The manor still continued to
be held of the main line of the Windsor family. fn. 15 In 1297 Ralph de
Berners died, leaving a son and heir Edmund, fn. 16 who was reported to
be in Normandy at the time of his father's death, although it was uncertain
whether he were alive or dead. fn. 17 Christina wife of Ralph survived
both her husband and her son, and in 1317 was party in a fine with Richard
de Berners touching lands held by him in West Horsley and elsewhere. fn.
18 In 1325 another fine was levied: Christina had died in the meanwhile,
and the manor had passed to her grandson John son of Edmund. fn. 19 A final
conveyance of these lands was not made until some ten years later, when
Thomas son of Richard released all his right to John. fn. 20 In 1332 John
settled the manor on himself and his wife Elizabeth, probably on the occasion
of their marriage. fn. 21 He died in 1361, and the manor passed to his
grandson James, who was then a minor. fn. 22 James de Berners grew up to
be a person of some influence in the government, but was accused of taking
advantage of the youth of Richard II for his own purposes, and was beheaded
in 1388. fn. 23 His lands were forfeited to the Crown, but his widow Anne
secured West Horsley by a special grant from the king. fn. 24 Henry IV
confirmed this grant, while deprecating the fact that his predecessor had
alienated the manor without the consent of Parliament. fn. 25 Anne de Berners
married a second husband, John Bryan, who seems to have held the manor
jointly fn. 26 with her until her death fn. 27 in 1403, when her son Richard
de Berners came into possession. Bryan released his right in the manor
to Richard in 1406. fn. 28 Three years later Richard enfeoffed trustees
of his estate to the use of himself and his wife Philippa, with remainder
to their heirs. fn. 29 He died in 1417. fn. 30 Philippa married a second
husband, fn. 31 Thomas Leukenore, fn. 32 but did not live long afterwards,
and at her death Margery daughter of Richard de Berners was found to be
her heir. Margery while still a child was married to John Fereby, fn. 33
who held his first court at West Horsley in 1420. fn. 34 He died in 1441,
fn. 35 and she then became the wife of Sir John Bourchier. In 1442 certain
trustees released the manor to Sir John Bourchier, called Berners, summoned
to Parliament in 1455 as Baron Berners, and to Margery his wife, which
was probably a form of marriage settlement. fn. 36 By her second husband
Margery had issue Humphrey, who, however, died before his mother, being
killed at Barnet in 1471, so that at her death in 1475 the manor passed
to her grandson John Bourchier, Baron Berners, then a child of eight. fn.
37 John, known as the translator of Froissart, was also a distinguished
soldier and courtier in the expensive court of Henry VIII, and in 1518
he mortgaged the manor to Thomas Unton fn. 38 and others. He died in 1522.

West
Horsley Place see below has literary interests connected with it. It was
the seat of John Lord Berners, who made the first English translation of
Froissart's Chronicle in the reign of Henry VIII. It was shortly afterwards
the house of the Earl of Lincoln, whose wife, in whose right he held it,
was the widow of Sir Anthony Browne, and was by birth Lady Elizabeth Fitzgerald,
daughter of the Earl of Kildare, celebrated by Surrey the poet as the 'Fair
Geraldine.' She resided at West Horsley after her husband's death, and
corresponded in very unpoetic style with Sir William More at Loseley, where
several of her letters are preserved, including an invitation to Sir William
to come to her house during the crisis of the Spanish invasion of 1588,
dated 30 July, and expressing the consternation in the court at the news
that the Spaniards were over against Dover in Calais Roads. Carew Raleigh,
son of Sir Walter, was a later owner, and he sold it to Sir Edward Nicholas,
Secretary of State to Charles I, who died in 1669. Sir Edward's son, Sir
John, was Clerk to the Privy Council and died in 1704. His son Edward,
who died in 1726, was Treasurer to Queen Mary. Their correspondence was
preserved at West Horsley, and a schedule of the papers was drawn up by
Edward Nicholas in 1720. fn. 2 A considerable part of the collection was
purchased for the British Museum in 1879, and now forms part of the Egerton
MSS. 2533�2562. But it is unfortunately only a part of what once existed.
The whole collection seems to have passed into the possession of Sir John
Evelyn of Wotton, after the death of William Nicholas in 1749. Dr. Thomas
Birch made transcripts and a catalogue of the papers in 1750�1, describing
them as in the possession of Sir John Evelyn. Some of them are still at
Wotton, and were printed by Bray at the end of his edition of John Evelyn's
Diary and Correspondence, 1818. The rest are supposed to have been returned
to West Horsley, whence they passed to the Museum in 1879, but a great
many papers referred to by Birch, whose transcripts are in the British
Museum, fn. 3 are now lost. The missing part included a History of the
Long Parliament, covering 285 pages in Sir Edward Nicholas's own hand.
Only fragments of this and of three letterbooks, from 1648 to 1658, survive.
Extracts
from the papers have been edited for the Camden Society and the Royal Historical
Society in 1886, 1892, 1897, and a fourth volume is in the press. Inferior
to the Loseley MSS. in local interest, they are by far the most valuable
general historical collection preserved in any Surrey house.
There
is a valuable collection of historical portraits at West Horsley of the
Nicholas family and 17thcentury persons of note, Raleigh, Weston Earl of
Portland, Clarendon, Hobbes, Compton Bishop of London, Ben Jonson, Anne
of Denmark, Nell Gwynn, and others.
Woodcote
Lodge in this parish is the residence of the Rt. Hon. Sir Henry Roscoe.
The Rectory house was built by the Rev. C. H. S. Weston in 1819, a mile
away from the church, near Horsley Green.
In
West Horsley were 362 acres of common fields and 16 acres of common meadow.
The Inclosure Act was in 1802. fn. 4 By it 79 acres of common arable and
88 acres of waste on Netley Heath were appropriated as a glebe. Five acres
and a half are assigned for the repairs of the church.
There
is a Wesleyan chapel in this parish.
Broomhouse
on the Epsom road is the property of Lord Rendel, and is used as a convalescent
home for Poor Law children.
In
1786 fn. 5 a house and orchard were recorded as left for a school by an
unknown donor. In 1813 Mr. Weston Fullerton built and endowed a school.
The Rev. C. H. S. Weston further endowed a school with £760 in 1845.
The present school National was built in 1861. Mr. Weston's endowment is
paid to this, and it seems that Mr. Fullerton's school had been previously
amalgamated with Mr. Weston's."
