The glebe land attached to the church of Lambourn developed into the manor of LAMBOURN DEANERY. It belonged to the Deans of St. Paul's till 1800, when Dean Tomline sold it to Edward Withers of Newbury. In 1824 it belonged to Hannah Clark, John Withers Clark, Hannah Withers Clark, Mary Ann Clark and Eliza Clark. On the death in 1847 of Hannah Clark, who was a niece of Edward Withers, the lands and tithes were vested by a judgement of the court of Chancery as to onehalf in her grandchildren, the sons and daughters of the Rev. Robert Vaughan Hughes and Mary Ann his wife (formerly Clark), as to one-fourth in Messrs. Thomas Baverstock Merriman and William Clark Merriman, and as to the remaining fourth in Mrs. Vaughan Hughes for life under her marriage settlement. In 1886 three-fourths of the tithes with the manorial rights were sold to Mr. Henry Parry Gilbey, by whose executors they were sold in 1909 to Mr. Savill, the present owner. The remaining fourth still belongs to the Vaughan Hughes family. The glebe is vested as to three-fourths in the Vaughan Hughes family, and as to one-fourth in Messrs. Edward Baverstock Merriman and Robert William Merriman.
