      BREDMER, usually called Broadmead, is another manor, near the western bounds of this parish, adjoining to Cheriton, in which it is partly situated. It was most probably, in early times, in the possession of a family of its own name; for in the antient deeds and courtrolls of Valoigns, who were owners of Cheriton in king Edward II. and III.'s reign, there is frequent mention of several of this name, who held lands of the Valoigns family; but before the latter end of king Edward III.'s reign, it was come into the possession of William de Brockhull, of Saltwood, whose second son Thomas Brockhull leaving an only daughter and heir Elizabeth, she carried it in marriage to Richard Selling, in whose descendants it remained till Henry VIII.'s reign, when it was passed away to Edmund Inmith, a retainer to Thomas, lord Clinton, and he gave it to his second son Edmund Inmith, who leaving two daughters and coheirs, one of whom married Rayner, and the other Baker, the latter of them, in right of his wife, shared this manor as part of her inheritance, and in king James I.'s reign alienated it to Beane, in which name it continued some length of time, and till it was sold to Worger, and thence again to Bayley, in which name it remained till Mrs. Elizabeth Bailey and other conveyed it to William Bouverie, earl of Radnor, whose son the right hon. Jacob, earl of Radnor, is the present owner of it. A court baron is held for this manor.

And as for that worldly estate which God of his infinite mercy has been pleased to lend me, I will and dispose of the same as followeth:

      Item, I will all that my messuage or tenement, barn, buildings and all the lands thereunto belonging situate lying and being in Stouting in the County aforesaid in the occupation of William Allen to be sold by my Executrix so soon as conveniently may be after my decease for the payment of my debts and legacies and funeral expenses and the overplus remaining I give and bequeath to JUDITH my loving wife.

      Item, I give and bequeath to my daughter ELIZABETH LAW the wife of EDWARD LAW the sum of ten pounds to be paid unto her by my said Executrix within six months next after my deceased.

      Item, I give and bequeath unto my daughter JUDITH WORGER the sum of thirty pounds to be paid unto her by my said Executrix at her age of one and twenty years or day of marriage which shall first happen next after my decease.

      And in case either of my said children shall die and depart this life before they shall have received their said legacies then I will the said legacy or legacies of him her or them so dying to the survivors of them to be equally divided amongst them share and share alike.

      Item, after my said debts and legacies are paid as aforesaid I give all the rest and residue of my monies, goods, chattels and personal estate whatsoever unto my said loving wife JUDITH for the bringing up and educating of my younger children and I make and ordain my said wife sole Executrix of this my last Will and Testament and I will that my said son THOMAS WORGER shall be overseer of this my Will and to aid and assist his mother in the execution thereof and in case my said wife shall die before my said younger children shall be brought up I then make and ordain my said son THOMAS WORGER sole Executor in her place and stead and order him to perform this said my Will accordingly: And I do hereby make all other and former Wills by me heretofore at any time made and do publish and declare this to be my only last Will and Testament containing one whole sheet and this part of a sheet of paper.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF to the whole sheet I have set only my hand and to this part of a sheet my hand and seal this twelfth day of April in the twelfth year of the reign of our Sovereign Lady Ann by the Grace of God of Great Britain, France and Ireland, Queen, Defender of the faith, etc. Anno Domini 1700 and thirteen.
