HINTON BURRANT (Henton, xiii cent.; Hienton, xiv cent.; Henton Bourhont, Henton Burhunt, xv cent.; Hinton Burrant and Henton Burrunt, xvii cent.) was a small manor dependent upon the manor of Hinton Daubnay. Thus, in an inquisition taken in 1358 it was stated to be held of Ellis Daubnay by the payment of a penny a year. (fn. 84) Again, in the inquisition taken after Elizabeth Uvedale's death in 1488, it was returned as held of the prior of St. Swithun, Winchester, who was at the time lord of the manor of Hinton Daubnay. (fn. 85) The first document relating to this manor seems to be a fine of 1283, whereby Rose de Henton quitclaimed to Roger de Molton a messuage and 80 acres of land in 'Hinton, near Catherington.' (fn. 86) Five years later Roger de Molton quitclaimed to Richard de Boarhunt and Maud his wife a messuage and 1½ carucates of land in Hinton and at the same time granted to them the reversion of half a carucate of land in the same place after the death of Anne, the wife of Aimery de Kaunvyle. (fn. 87) In the Patent Rolls there are several references to Richard de Boarhunt, in connexion with his property in Hinton. (fn. 88) On the death of Richard de Boarhunt the manor passed to Thomas de Boarhunt, whose son and heir John de Boarhunt in 1342 granted 100s. yearly rent for life from the manor of Hinton, with right to distrain on the manor for any arrears of that rent, to his stepfather, William Danvers. (fn. 89) John died seised of the manor in 1358, leaving a son and heir John, aged fourteen. (fn. 90) The latter, however, must have died shortly afterwards, for in 1363 John the son of Herbert de Boarhunt granted the reversion of the manor after the death of Mary de Boarhunt, by that time the wife of Sir Bernard Brocas, to Valentine atte Mede of Bramdean. (fn. 91) From Valentine it seems to have passed to Sir Robert Markaunt, (fn. 92) lord of the neighbouring manors of West Mapledurham and Hinton Markaunt, and for some time followed the descent of those manors (q.v.), passing with them in 1422 to John Roger of Bryanston (co. Dorset). (fn. 93) The history of the manor for some time after this is somewhat obscure, and nothing definite can be learnt concerning it until 1488, in which year Elizabeth daughter of Sir Henry Norbury of Stoke d'Abernon (co. Surr.), and widow of Sir Thomas Uvedale, died seised of it, leaving a son and heir Robert, aged twenty and more. (fn. 94) The latter died without issue some twelve years later, leaving the manor in dower to his widow Elizabeth, (fn. 95) who subsequently married Thomas Leigh. (fn. 96) In 1529 Arthur Uvedale, who was either the son or grandson of Sir William Uvedale, half-brother of Robert, (fn. 97) granted the reversion of the manor of Hinton, after the death of Elizabeth Leigh, to Henry White and his heirs. (fn. 98) From Henry it passed to Giles White, who in 1572 granted the reversion, after the deaths of William Lawrence and Ellen his wife and Thomas Michelborne and Alice his wife, to Lawrence Michelborne, son of Thomas and Alice. (fn. 99)
Twenty years later Lawrence sold Hinton to a yeoman of Catherington, William CHATFIELD, (fn. 100) who in 1603 joined with John Foster the elder, and John Foster the younger, of Hinton Markaunt, Nicholas Hunt, lord of the manor of Anmore, and others in a dispute with Robert Paddon of Hinton Daubnay, concerning a down or common called Hinton Down or Field. (fn. 101)
On the death of William Chatfield the manor descended to his son and heir John, who sold it in 1626 to George Monnox, citizen and haberdasher of London, who in his turn conveyed it in 1629 to George Everlyn and William Christmas in trust for Thomas Keightley, a London merchant. (fn. 102) Thomas must have sold the manor shortly afterwards, for Sir Nicholas Hyde died in 1631 seised of the manor of 'Henton Burrant,' described in the inquisition taken on his death as 'late Chatfield's lands.' (fn. 103) From this time the descent of the manor followed that of Hinton Daubnay (fn. 104) (q.v.).
