Stonor v. Marmion

323. STONOR v. MARMION

20 DEC.1482

     Apart from its genealogical details the interest of this document consists
chiefly in its relation to Ancient Deeds, C. 2747 and C. 2320—see p. 175
below. The original is only a rough draft. The dispute seems to have
originated in the purchase by Sir William Stonor (in 1479) from Peter Mar-
myon of the manor of Beamys with manors, lands, and tenements in Shenyng-
feld, Swalowefeld, Farley, Sydenham, Tronkewell, Foxhill, and Sheperygge in
Berks, and Wilts, and of the manor of Nustelyngis in Hampshire. Part of the
consideration was the grant by Stonor of an annual rent of 5 marks for life
from Horton to Eleanor, wife of Peter Marmyon. There were similar grants
of 100s. to Robert, and of 40s. each to John and Peter, sons of Peter Mar-
myon (see Ch. Misc., 37, ix, 40). The "Requests" here given come from
Ch. Misc., 37, v, 13.⁷¹
