Claverdon.

AScending another torrent, which meeteth with that last spoke of, a little below Haseley, I come to Claverdon. In the Conquerors time this, being possest l 1.1 by the Earl of of Mellent, con∣tained 3 hides, and was valued at iiii li. the woods whereof were a mile in extent; but in Edw. the Confessors dayes, it was the Freehold of one Bovi. From which Earl, as most of the lands which he had in this County did, it came to the hands of Henry de Newburgh, his brother, (the first Earl of Warwick of the Norman line) as is evident e∣nough: And in 9 Ioh. was (inter alia) assigned n 1.2 for the dower of Alice the widow of Waleran Earl of Warwick; so also in o 1.3 26 H. 3. to Ela the widow of Thomas Earl of Warwick: which Ela in 36 H. 3. obtained a Charter p 1.4 of Free-warren in all her demesn lands here; and purcha∣sed q 1.5 certain other lands, in this place, of Sir Hen∣ry de Lodbroke Kt. which she gave r 1.6 to the Prio∣ry at Warwick.

After this, viz. in 13 E. 1. Will. de Beau∣champ claimed s 1.7 a Gallows, with Assize of Bread and Beer in this Mannour, by Prescription which were allowed: And in 9 E. 2. was it assigned (inter alia) as part of the dowry of Alice, wid∣dow unto Guy de Beauchamp Earl of Warwick. To the posterity of which Earls it continued till 3 H. 7. but then coming to the Crown (with all the rest of the possessions belonging to that Earldome) was by K. H. 8. in 26 of his reign,t 1.8 leased u 1.9 to Rog. Walford for xxi years: But King Edw. 6. 22 Dec. 1. of his reign, granted w 1.10 the inheritance thereof, together with the Castle of Warwick &c. unto Iohn Dudley Earl of Warwick: After whose at∣tainder in 1 Mariae, the said Q. made a Lease x 1.11 thereof for xl. years at the Rent of xxvii li. iiii s. i d. ob. to Clem Throgmorton of Haseloy Esquier: But in 4 Eliz. did Ambrose Dudley, then Earl of Warwick, obtaine a Pat. y 1.12 thereof, together with the Castle of Warwick &c. to himselfe and the heirs male of his body; who dying without issue, it returned to the Crown, and was afterwards purchased by Thomas Spencer Esquier, a younger son to Sir Iohn Spencer of Althorpe in com. Northampt. Knight. Which Thomas, having likewise obtained a Lease from the Dean and Chapter of Worcester of certain lands in this place, built a very fair House thereupon; and for the great Hospitality which he kept thereat, was the mirrour of this County: But having no issue male, setled this Mannour (inter alia) upon Sir Will. Spenser Baronet, son and heir of Sir Thomas, and he of Sir Will. sometime of Yarnton in Ox∣fordshire (his third brother.)

Touching the Church (dedicated to S. Michael) it appeareth z 1.13, that Roger Earl of Warwick in 23 H. 1. gave to his Collegiate Church of War∣wick, then newly founded, two parts of the Tithes issuing out of the Inclosures in this parish, and likewise of the paunage of all the woods be∣longing thereto: And that in an. 1291 (19 E. 1) it was valued a 1.14 at xv. marks and a half, the Vicars portion being then six marks and a half: Which Vicaridge in 26 H. 8. was rated b 1.15 at vi li. the Procurations and Synodalls, issuing out of it, being viii li.
