REDINGHURST
(Redinghers, xiii cent.; Ridinghersh, xiv cent.)
This manor was originally a member of Utworth. A deed of the latter end of the 13th century records the quitclaim to Robert of Redinghurst of the service which he owed to Thomas of Utworth for Redinghurst, except one penny yearly. (fn. 44) In 1331 John son of Robert of Redinghurst was enfeoffed of his father's lands in Cranleigh. (fn. 45) His son John was still living in September 1364, (fn. 46) and seems to have been succeeded by Walter Redinghurst. (fn. 47) In 1494 the manor was conveyed by the trustees of John Redinghurst to John Bysshe of Burstow, (fn. 48) whose grandson William settled it on his son John in 1544. (fn. 49) John Bysshe bequeathed it to his wife Mary. (fn. 50) In 1635 it was the property of Edward Bysshe. (fn. 51) His son, Sir Edward, Garter and Clarencieux King of Arms, was dealing with it in 1654, (fn. 52) and later conveyed it to John Hill. (fn. 53)
