In the reign of Henry III. Juetta, daughter of Alan, of Hameringham, gave
to the Abbey of Revesby, 4 acres of arable land, for the purpose of
gate-alms. In the reign of Edwd. I. Robert Cressaunt of Tuluse gave his
rights and claims on lands in Tuluse, Hameringham, and elsewhere, to the
monks of Revesby, on condition that they pay to him and his heirs
annually 8_s._ Alicia the daughter of William, son of Alward of
Hameringham, in the same reign, gave a half toft for the Revesby almsbox;
with pasturage rights for 26 sheep and 4 cattle and 4 pigs in
Hameringham; the monks to pay to her 6_d._ annually.
Sir Lionel Dymoke, by will, dated 15 Ap. 1512, bequeathed “for churche
walke in hameringham xxd. to John Sheffield parsone of hameringham, . . .
to pray for me, my wyf Anne, and my wyf Jane deceased, and for all
christen soules.” “Linc. N. & Q.” iv. p. 12.
On the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII. that sovereign
granted to Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, in consideration of his
“acceptable and long service,” “all manner of houses, messuages, &c.,”
along with the lands, hitherto belonging to the monastery of Revesby,
including property in Hameringham, and nearly 50 other parishes, to be
held of the crown, on payment of the fifth part of one soldier’s service,
and an annual payment of £28 to the Court of Augmentations every
Michaelmas, the duke’s title to date “from March 1, in the 29th year of
our reign (1538).”
[These different documents are among the Revesby charters, printed by the
late Right Honble. E. Stanhope, M.P.]
The benefice of Hameringham was formerly charged with a pension of 6s. to
the Prior of Bullington. In the early part of the 18th century, the
Chaplin family would seem to have been proprietors here, as Mr. Thomas
Chaplin presented to the benefice in 1712 and 1720. The manor now
belongs to the Coltman family, who are also patrons of the benefice; and
there are several smaller proprietors.
Scrafield, which has now no church, is united to Hameringham. Some of
the communion plate is ancient, being Elizabethan, the rest is modern,
being presented by the late Rector, Rev. Joseph Coltman.
