[525] Roxburghe Club, _Surveys of Pembroke Manors_. The twenty-one manors are as follows: Washerne, South Newton, North Ugford, Brudecombe, Foughlestone, Chalke, Albedeston, Chilmerke and Rugge, Staunton, Westoverton, Remesbury, Stockton, Dichampton, Berwick St. John, Wyley, North Newton, Byshopeston (all in Wilts), Donyett, Chedseye, South Brent (all in Somerset), and Paynton in Devonshire. Estates of inheritance are found at Byshopeston, and also fixed fines. At Paynton copies are granted for 4 lives or less. The common formula for fines runs: "Pro talibus finibus ut emptores et captores cum domino et officiariis suis concordare vel barganizare possunt tam de terra in possessione quam in reversione."
[526] MSS. Transcript in Wrexham Free Library by A.N. Palmer, of "The Presentment and Verdict for the Manor of Hewlington," 1620 (in which the proceedings in the reign of Elizabeth are recorded), and "The Surveys of the Town and Liberty of Holt," 1620. At Hewlington it is stated that the Crown Commissioners made an arrangement with the tenants "that if the said tenants would relinquish these said pretended estates, revive the said decayed rents, and pay two yeres Rent of the landes to the late Queen for a fine, that then the said tenants and their heirs and assignes should have leases granted them for fortie years, and so from fortie years to fortie years in perpetuity." It is not expressly stated that the same arrangement was made at Holt, but it is to be inferred from the context that it was.
