| AdminBiogHistory |
Properties in Bray, Berkshire, included the Manor of Craswells ( Cresswell, alias Philberts ) together with a weir and lands. These were granted to St George's Chapel by Edward III on 18 July 1352.
Other lands in Bray were acquired by the Dean and Canons of Windsor ( D & C ) through the obit endowment of Queen Anne, wife of Richard II. On 6 January 1396, Thomas Arundel, archbishop of York, and Edward, earl of Rutland, granted two pastures in Bray called Frith and Ashcroft to the D & C. Initially, this grant was for the lives of the grantors or surviving grantor, but in the same year was extended to a grant in perpetuity. In the early 15th century, Frith and Ashcroft became a lucrative source of revenue for the D & C, the pastures being leased at a rent of 60s a year from September 1415.
