• Notes

  Angmering Registers: Thomas m Margaret Gratwicke in 1668: 1687 Thomasburied Thomas Olliver acquired a ten year lease of Kingston ManorFarm [East KIngston] in 1686. His decendants continued that leaseuntil they purchased the whole of Kingston in 1786. Other lands toabout 40 acres on leasehold and freehold there had been acquired fromWilliam Older when he died in 1679, and Thomas was entrusted with thebuilding of Angmering School. Thomas Olliver Will of 1687:Described as a yeoman of Angmering. His youngest son, Thomas, wasbequeathed the Avenalls farm of 20 acres, formerly Penfolds: also afield Earth Pitt and another Dellfield, of 8 acres, all in EastAngmering. The eldest son William all other properties freehold andleasehold. William Older is of lasting renown in Angmering, hiswill of 1679 entrusting £100 to Thomas Olliver to build a schoolthere, "For the teaching and instructing of poore children". Hisfreehold farm in Angmering providing a perennial fund, "For the bettermayntenance of the said Schoolmaster". If any inducement were requiredto carry out the terms of the will, it was provided :- I give anddevise unto William Olliver the sonne of Thomas Olliver ... all myfreehold land and tenements ... in the parishes of Kingston and Goring... and copyhold lands and tenements ... the said William Olliver ...shall from time to time pay out twenty shillings per annum to thepoore of the parrish of Angmering ... and ten shillings every yeare toa minister to preach a sermon upon the day I an buryed Angmeringinventory assumed to relate to this Thomas Olliver: No 92 ThomasOliver 1687 yeoman £818 14s 10d 1 Hall Chamber (bed) 2 Hall (table)3 Lodging Chamber (bed) 4 Chamber over Milkhouse (bed) 5 Kitchen 6Milkhouse 7 Bakehouse 8/9 Cellar and Room over 10 Kitchen Chamber(table) 2 waggons. 145 acres of cornland mentioned. Cattle and 126sheep with lambs. Leases of land, Earthpitt Field and Dell Field inAngmering. 4 acres in Angmering formerly Richard Penfolds. KingstonFarm in Kingston;- A Lease of a p'cell of Land in Angmering calledEarthpitt feild als Dell feild 100 00 00 One other Lease of four Acresof Land also in Angmering formerly purchased of one RichardPenfold 35 00 00 One other Lease of Kingston Farme in theparrish of Ferring 20 00 00 The above leases appear tobe muddled. Kingston Farm lease was probably £100 and the smallerfarms the lesser amounts. In 1671 a lease of 21 years for KingstonFarm to Pannet was for £100 pa. The will and inventory seem at oddsabout the area of the old Penfold farm - if indeed the same farm -and being purchased by Olliver that is presumably why there are noOlliver tenants for Avenals in the 1689 Bishopp Rental - but in thatrental Peter Penfold had a £25 lease of Avenalls Farm which was nodoubt what was then the main farm in what is today Avenals Farm.
