The manor of POLLING (Pulling, xv cent.; Polands or Poleing, xviii cent.) was ancient demesne (1) of the Crown and was held of the king in chief. (fn. 146) It is first mentioned in 1305 when Henry Sturmy died seised of it, but it seems to have formed part of the estate held at Odiham in 1174–5 by his ancestor William de Bendeng. (fn. 147) It passed from the Sturmys to the Seymours in the same way as Liss Turney, and passed to the Crown in 1541 by exchange with Edward, Earl of Hertford, afterwards Duke of Somerset. (fn. 148) Four years later it was granted by Henry VIII to Robert Creswell of Odiham, (fn. 149) of whom it was purchased in 1579 by Peter Osborne and Nicholas Young. (fn. 150) Nicholas died seised of it in 1595, (fn. 151) and his son Robert sold it in 1596–7 to John Fielder, from whom it passed in 1638 to his son John. (fn. 152) John Fielder sold it in 1639–40 to Anthony Pickering. (fn. 153) The manor is next mentioned in 1755, when it belonged to Sir John Tylney, Earl Tylney of Castlemaine. (fn. 154) He died without issue in 1784, (fn. 155) and the manor passed to Catherine Tylney Long, granddaughter of the earl's sister Emma. (fn. 156) A conveyance by her in 1811 to Robert Bicknell (fn. 157) was probably made for a settlement on her marriage with William Pole Tylney Long Wellesley, afterwards Earl of Mornington, which took place in March of the following year.

The name of the manor is preserved at Poland Farm and Poland Mill about a mile to the north of the town.

The estate now belongs to Sir Henry P. St. John-Mildmay, bart. ('Parishes: Odiham', in A History of the County of Hampshire: Volume 4, ed. William Page (London, 1911), pp. 87-98. British History Online http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/hants/vol4/pp87-98 [accessed 2 March 2023].)
