A HISTORY OF SURREY. CATTESHULL.

In 1254-5 Robert de Gatton was in possession of Catteshull. 88 He died c. 1264, leaving a son Hamo, 89 who was succeeded by his son Hamo de Gatton, 90 who dowered his wife Margery with Catteshull at the church door. 91 Their son, Edmund de Gatton, was an infant at his father's death, and died a minor. He had two sisters and co-heirs, Elizabeth wife of William de Dene, and >>> Margaret wife of Simon de Northwood. 9 ' Of these Margaret obtained her purparty of her brother's lands in I3I5,' 3 although Guy de Ferre, custodian of Edmund's lands during his minority, 94 accounted for the manor in February 1319-20." Margaret's portion evidently included the whole of Catteshull. Her son Sir Robert de Northwood, kt., inherited it and made good his claim to it against Robert de Dol of Loseley, who asserted that Robert de Manekesey had granted it to his grandfather Hugh de Dol and his wife Sibyl. 98 Sir Robert was in possession of Catteshull at his death in 1360," and was succeeded by his son Thomas, who only survived his father a year. 98 One of his sisters and heirs, Joan wife of John Levyndale, was apportioned certain rents in Catteshull, while his other sister, Agnes, afterwards wife of William Beaufoy, received the rest of the manor, 89 and conveyed it to John Legg, or Leigh, serjeant-at-arms, who is said to have been her second husband, William Brantingham, and John West. 100 During the lifetime of John Legg land in Catteshull was leased to Elizabeth widow of Peter Stonhurst. 101 William Brantingham held a court there 25 July 1383, but almost immediately conveyed the manor to Thomas Holland, Earl of Kent, and others, probably trustees, for William Brantingham obtained in 1384 a quitclaim of the rights of Joan Weston, wife of William Weston, daughter of Agnes and heiress of John Legg or Leigh. 10 ’
