Notes about HUGH HAVERSHAM

Son of Benedict Haversham and Basilia Mora.
Issue: Nicholas de Haversham

"... It appears, by the Liber Ruber Scaccarii, that this Manor was in the hands of Robert de Havershatn in 1175 (22 Hen. II.); and in 1208 (9 Joh.) Benedict, presumed to have been the son of Robert and Basilia his wife, sought to acquire, as against Henry de Faukener, and Annora his wife, the fourth part of the inheritance of Ralph de Mora, father of the said Basil and Annora; and Henry and Annora said that this estate had been the right and property of six sisters; but their names are not expressed in the Placita.

Hugh de Haversham, the son of Benedict, had lands here of his father's gift in 1208 (9 Joh.) ; and in 1235 (20 Hen. III.) levied a fine to the use of his son, Nicholas de Haversham, who, in the reign of Hen. III. was termed Lord of Haversham, of a Knight's fee here.
In the Claus. Rolls of 1310, (4 Edw. IV.) it is stated, that Nicholas de Haversham, then deceased, had holden the Manor of Haversham of the King in capite, of the Honour of Peverell, and that Joane, his wife, had her reasonable dower in the same; that he had also holden the Manor of Claybrook of Arnald de Bosco, by Knight's service, in which Manor his said wife had also her reasonable dower: that it was holden as the Stewardship of the Honour of Peverell ; that the said Nicholas was the son of another Nicholas de Haversham, whose mother, Emma, held the Manor of Compton, Co. Wilts, which John de Grimsted, her former husband, had settled upon her in dower (he holding the same in capite); and after the death of the last Nicholas de Haversham, without male issue, the Lordship of Haversham passed, by the marriage of his daughters, to the families of Dela Plaunche and Olney, ....

"HAVERSHAM Manor
Before the Conquest the manor of HAVERSHAM was held by Countess Gueth, wife of Earl Ralf of Hereford. In 1086 it was assessed at 10 hides and was held by William Peverel himself. It was afterwards attached as one fee to his honour of Peverel, and so remained, the last mention of this overlordship occurring in 1525.

The tenants who held Haversham in the 12th century took their name from the place. Robert and Nicholas de Haversham are mentioned in 1174-7. In 1190 Hugh de Haversham rendered account of 30 marks for an agreement concerning the wood of Haversham. Hugh held Haversham as late as 1220. His son Nicholas owed 100s. for relief for his father's fee here in 1221. Nicholas de Haversham, who in 1232 was one of the collectors of the one-fortieth in the county,held Haversham until his death about 1251, when he was succeeded by a son of the same name. This Nicholas died in 1274, leaving a daughter and heir Maud, who was then only six months old, and a widow Joan, to whom dower was assigned in the manor. In 1274, during Maud's minority, the bailiff of the king's escheator was accused of selling the timber and destroying a fish-pond there. ..."

Between Benedict de Haveresham petitioning and Hugh de Haveresham tenant, concerning 42 acres of land with appurtenances in Haveresham.
One thing was agreed between them in the aforesaid court namely, that the aforesaid Benedict recognised the whole forementioned land with appurtenances to be lawfully Hugh's own.

And on account of this recognition and fine and agreement, the same Hugh gave and conceded to the same Benedict twelve acres of woodland, measured by the King's perch, in the wood which is called Ernesden' towards the west, and six acres of land of the same vill, measured by the legal perch, namely in Lauedistoking , to have to hold to himself and his heirs, of Hugh himself and his heirs alike, with a fourth part of a knight's fee, which formerly he held of him in the same vill.
And on account of this gift and concession, the same Benedict conceded to the men of Hugh de Haveresham himself along with his men of the same vill. That they should have the right to pasture cattle in Benedict's own grazing land, which is called Ruggemore . And, for himself and his heirs, he remitted and quit-claimed to the same Hugh all right to pasture cattle, which he had or claimed to have in the park of Hugh de Haveresham himself. ..."
