By an act passed in the next session (28 Henry VIII., c. 38) its lands were exchanged by the king with Sir William Weston, Prior of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem, for his manor of Paris Garden, Southwark. This act recites the indenture relating to this exchange, describing the property very fully. {14} After specifying the site of the priory, the Act proceeds—“and all other the demayne londes of the sayde late Pryory lyeing and beying in Kylborne aforesayde, Hamstede, Padyngton, and _Westborn_, in the sayde countie;” “the hedge rowes rounde aboute Gorefeld and Goremede” are stated as “conteyning, by estimacon, xj acres and a half acre, and xxti rodes,” &c. The manors of Eybury, Neyte, and Hyde, were, with other Abbey lands, exchanged with the king for the dissolved Priory of Hurley, Berkshire, and the exchange was confirmed by Act of Parliament 28 Henry VIII., c. 49. In the _Valor Ecclesiasticus_, taken by command of King Henry VIII. in 1535, the following entries relating to these manors also appear:— “Repris ex offic Sacrist dei Monasterii Reddit’ resolut’ videlt Manerio de Eybury p. iijlz acr’ terr in Eyfelde per annum iiij.” “Repris’ ex offic Novi opis Midd Reddit’ resolut’ annuat’ de divs terr et tenements predict videlt. £ s. d.

The lands at the Gore, and near to it, passed into various lay hands, and will be hereafter more fully noticed.
