50 HISTORY OF
By another of these charters, he appears to have settled the following lands
upon it.
Hendon, or Heandune, in the county of Middlesex, to which the former gifts
of Blakenham, Cowenlaw, and Loyersley appertained. This grant received the
confirmation of King Edward by a charter, in which it is described as containing
twenty hides. This manor is represented as having continued in the possession of
the monastery to the dissolution; when it was given by Henry VIII. to Sir
Thomas Herbert. But the abbot and monks of Westminster were not only pos-
sessed of the manor of Hendon; they were also patrons of the church there, which
was a rectory and a vicarage. The former was a sinecure, in the gift of the conven-
tual chapter, who admitted to it with the chapel of Hampstead annexed. The vi-
carage was in the gift of the rectors till the year 1478, when the abbot and convent
assumed to themselves the right of presentation, and held it to the dissolution; at
which time it came to the crown, and, with the rectory, was passed to Sir Tho-
mas Herbert.
Haneivell, or Hanwell, in the county of Middlesex; whose manor King Ed-
ward the Confessor confirmed to this church, and in the charter it is said to
contain eight hides. It continued in the possession of the abbot and convent to
the dissolution; when Henry VIII. annexed it to his new bishopric of Westmin-
ster, which being suppressed by Edward VI. his successor, Queen Mary, gave it
to Bishop Bonner and his successors for ever.
Paddington, in the county of Middlesex, is said to have contained two hides
of land. King Stephen, and afterwards Henry II. confirmed this manor, and the
liberties usually granted with it: nor did it undergo any change till it passed, with
so many other possessions of this monastery, at the dissolution, to Henry VIII.'s
newly created bishopric of Westminster; on the extinction of which by Edward VI.
that monarch gave both the place and the manor to Ridley, Bishop of London,
and his successors for ever.
