Ralph de Toeni tried to disseise him in 1225 of 300 acres, and Ralph grandson of Ralph renewed the claim in 1292, though the case had been settled in 1264 in favour of the abbot, whose successors retained possession of the manor until the reign of Henry V. As an alien abbey it was then deprived of its property in England, which was bestowed in 1415 on the priory of Sheen. This priory held the manor of Alton until the Dissolution. It was granted in 1541 to Sir Philip Hoby, who died seised of it in 1558, when his heir was his sister Mary wife of Brian Carter. In the following year she with her husband conveyed the manor to Sir George Blount in consideration of an annuity of £12 4s. 8½d. from it. In 1561 this rent was granted by George Anderson and Mary his wife, possibly the widow of Brian Carter, to

>>> Humphrey Hill of Silvington, co. Salop., who had possibly already bought the manor from Sir George Blount, as in 1588 he settled it in tail-male on Richard Hill, son of William Hill of Bickley, co. Worcester, and Ursula Hincksman, with remainder to the said William, and to John, Francis, and William Hill, nephews of Humphrey. The death of Humphrey was followed by a disputed succession owing to the fact that Ursula Hincksman married John Hill instead of Richard, with the result that Richard sued her in 1608 to recover possession of the manor on the ground that she was only entitled to hold it as jointure if married to himself. John and Ursula remained in possession, and the former died seised of it in 1625, when he was succeeded by his son John. John Hill sold the manor in 1658 to Thomas Hill, who in the same year, with William Watts, conveyed it to John Hammond and Anthony Wem, in trust for Cole and Powell. For nearly a century the history of the manor then remains obscure. Before 1752 it had passed to Charles Baldwyn. His son or grandson William assumed the name Childe, and was succeeded in 1824 by his son William Lacon Childe. The manor remained in the possession of this family until 1893, when it was sold by Capt. Charles Baldwyn Childe to Mr. William Corbett. (fn. 64
