WESTMINSTER ABBEY. 73
tion, and its neighbourhood to woods and waters, as the charter expresses it;
he gives the abbot and monks in exchange for it, Wokendune, in the province of
the East Saxons, or Essex, in Ceford Hundred; and a house called Feringes, in
Lexdune Hundred, in the same province. The charter that regulates this ex-
change, is addressed to William, Bishop, and Swein, Sheriff. But by subsequent
charters, having, as it may be supposed, added lands to Feringes, he confirms it
as a manor; reconfirms that place and Wokendune, and grants them both very
ample privileges and immunities.
Batrychsea, or Patrichsea, now Battersea, in Surry : which manor was for-
merly in the possession of King Harold, as appears by William's charter directed
to Stigand, Archbishop, and Falcatius, Earl. It was a second time confirmed to
this abbot and convent by King Henry I.; and, after him, by King Stephen ;
who, in another charter, confirms its liberties.
Strype mentions, that, in the reign of Richard I. there was a suit at law in
the Court of King's Bench, between the Abbot of Westminster and one Stephen
de Turnham, and Edelina his wife, holding, at that time, two hides and a half
and one rod of land in Patrichsea, in the county of Surry ; and that this Stephen
de Turnham and his wife quitted the claim which they had to the land, upon the
abbot's granting land to them, in return, at Westminster. This exchange was fol-
lowed by a grant of William to the abbot, of the liberty of hunting in his manor
of Patrichsea, as well as in Chillington; and also a release of it from sacc and
socc, toll and theam, &c.
Pcriford, which appears also to have been part of Harold's possessions, by a
charter addressed to Archbishop Stigand, was granted with the aforesaid manor;
and, by another charter, eight hides of it in the forest of Windsore, which were
thereby exempted from sacc, &c. This grant was reconfirmed by Henry L
Wandlesxvorth, now Wandsworth, in the county of Surry. To this manor he
