Five hides of land in this parish were granted in the time of Henry I to the priory of Sherborne in Hampshire by Hawise wife of Henry de Port, the founder of the priory, and were confirmed to it by her son John. The priory held these lands until 1462, when Edward IV granted it and its endowments to the hospital of St. Julian in Southampton. Eleven years later it was granted to Eton College. The priory was afterwards restored to the hospital at Southampton, which had been granted in 1347 by King Edward III and Philippa his consort to the Provost and Fellows of Queen's College, Oxford, to whom these lands still belong.
