Saruesfiold at the time of the Domesday Surrey formed part of tho vast possessions of Itogcr do Laci, and then gave u.une to a family who held it for at least three hundred years, when it passed by the cohciress ·of Sir Nicholas de Sarnesfiold, K.G., to the Moningtous, in whose family it remained till their ext.iuctiou in male line in 17 41, and in female lino at the eud of tho last century. Philip de Sarnesfleld held one aud :~ half hides of Hugh de Lacy in 1109. A Philip de Sarncsfield i~ppears .as witness to a charter, undated, of Henry de Penebrugge. Roger de Sarnesfield, Philip de Sarnesfiold, and Hobert de Saruesfield occur in the Testa de Nevil. William de Sarnesfield appears as party to a deed, undated, between 1285 and 1298. Walter de Saruesfiold occurs in a Roll of Arms (Archeeologia, vol. xxxvi, 427), ch-ca 1295. A Gcffrey de Saruesfield was living in 13B. John de Sarnosficld was Lord of tho Manor of Sarnesficld in 1316. In 134 7 Margaret do Samesfleld pre• sented to the living of Sarncsficld, and Robert de Saruesfield in l :348, and Thomas de Sarnesfield in 1349. In 1359 Letters of Protection to pass with Edward, Prince of Wales, beyond sea, were granted to Nicholas 1111d John de Sarnesficld. Nieholas was alter a Knig·ht of the Garter, and it is possible that John may have been hi~ brother. Thomas de Saruesfiold presented to the Ii ving of Sarnesficld in I :{88, and Themas, . I presume the same person, died aeized of the Manor of Sameafield in 1390. Probably ho was the father of Sir Nicholas. Sir Nicholas died about the eud of the year 1394, leaving a widow, Margaret, who was living in 1431. He lnft two daughters, his coheirs, one married to Hugh Monington, who died in 1424-5, the other to Walter Bromwich of Little Sarncsfield in the parish of Weoblcy, whose descendant was residing there temp. Henry VIIJ.I Groat Sarnesfield became the inheritance· of the Moningtons, it is therefore probable that Hugh Mouington's wife was the cider coheir. A full memoir of Sir Nicholas de Sarnesfield will be found in Beltz'a "Memorials of the Order of the Garter," p. 308. Several fragments of thirteenth .or fourteenth century floriatcd crossoa, which have served as memorials to the early inhabitants of Samesflold, still remain in the church, but one only bears any inscrip• tion. This commemorates an Isabel de Sarnesfield, and appears to be of fourteenth century workmanship. The accompanying engraving, from a sketch made by J. Paul Rylands, Esq., l<'.S.A., gives an accurate representation of it, and renders further comment unnecessary. The church consists of nave, with south aisle, chance), and chapel on south side belonging to the manor, south porch, and square tower in which are two bells with these inscriptions :- 1.
