HASLEWICK was the eastern portion of the parish and lay around the Upper Green, formerly known as Haslewick Green. Here may have been situated the 2½ hides of land which belonged to Inkpen, held by Ralph de Felgeres in 1086, but nothing has been found to prove that these lands in Haslewick were held by the descendants of Ralph, and in 1309 certain lands there were held of the abbey of Titchfield, presumably as part of the manor of Eastcourt, while the remainder was held of the Knights Templars. As was the case with most of their property, this overlordship passed at the dissolution of the Templars to the Knights Hospitallers of St. John of Jerusalem, who were holding it in 1346, but Haslewick was held of the Crown and the Abbot of Titchfield in 1357, though the Hospitallers were holding the overlordship of a small parcel of land here in 1382, for which they received 14d. yearly, the rest of Haslewick being held of the king. Subsequently the manor is returned as held of the king in chief.
