MANOR
Fishbourne was held as 6 hides in the time of Edward the Confessor by Earl Tostig, the brother of King Harold. In 1086 it was held by the Abbey of Séez (Normandy) of Earl Roger, (fn. 8) by whom it had been given to them. (fn. 9) In 1272 the abbey received a grant of free warren in their demesnes here, (fn. 10) and in 1291 they acquired 28 acres in Fishbourne from William de Braclesham. (fn. 11) After the seizure of the property of alien religious houses the Sussex estates of Séez, including Fishbourne, were granted in 1416 to the nunnery of Syon (Middx.). (fn. 12) After the dissolution of that house FISHBOURNE, for the first time called a manor, was annexed to the honor of Petworth in April 1540, (fn. 13) being at that time in the hands of Thomas Lane under a lease for forty years dating from June 1529. (fn. 14) It is said to have been held of the Crown in chief by 'Sir Thomas White and others' in 1558, (fn. 15) but in 1560 the manor of NEW FISHBOURNE was granted to John Fenner, (fn. 16) who died on Christmas Day 1566, (fn. 17) having in the previous year sold to Bartholomew and Francis Dodd; and they in 1570 sold the manor to Francis Bowyer, alderman of London, and Elizabeth his wife. (fn. 18) Francis Bowyer died 14 June 1581, holding the manor of the Queen, valued at £20, by knight service, his wife surviving. (fn. 19) Their son Sir William Bowyer settled the manor on himself and his wife Mary in 1605, (fn. 20) but four years later settled it on his son Henry on his marriage with Anne daughter of Nicholas Salter. (fn. 21) Sir William outlived his son, dying in 1615, when his heir was Henry's infant son William. (fn. 22) In 1633 this William Bowyer, with Anne Harris, widow, his mother, (fn. 23) was dealing with the manor, (fn. 24) which he then sold to William Cawley. (fn. 25) At the Restoration Cawley's estates were forfeited and Fishbourne was among the manors given to James, Duke of York. (fn. 26) Cawley seems, however, to have sold, or possibly mortgaged, it in 1639 to John Biggs of Portsmouth, (fn. 27) whose widow married John Tredcroft. Previously William Bowyer had apparently leased 'for 1000 years' part of the estate to John Comber, who died in 1623 and left the lease to his young son Thomas Comber. (fn. 28) Thomas died in 1634, leaving the lease to his daughter Katherine. (fn. 29) His elder brother John Comber in 1683 acquired the manor of New Fishbourne from Sir John Biggs, (fn. 30) to whom it had been left in 1662 by his step-father John Tredcroft, rector of West Grinstead. (fn. 31) John Comber in 1684 bequeathed his manor of Fishbourne to his nephew (Sir) Thomas Miller. (fn. 32) In this family it descended, Dame Susannah Miller holding the manor in 1785, and Sir Thomas Miller in 1788. (fn. 33) The Rev. Sir Thomas Combe Miller, 6th bart., of Froyle, sold the manor to Edward Stanford between 1870 (fn. 34) and 1876. (fn. 35) He died about 1882 and his widow bequeathed it to Major-General Byron. (fn. 36)
