GREAT FOSTERS, EGHAM. (See 4 S. i-
504; 10 S. xii. 510.) More than forty
years ago Dr. FURNIVALL called attention
in ' N. & Q.' to this fine Elizabethan man-
sion. He gave a long extract from an
interesting letter written by Albert Way to-
the then owner, Col. Halkett, respecting
the very fine ceilings and the mystery as ta
their origin. DR. FURNIVALL also com-
mented on the scanty notice vouchsafed to
the house by the various county historians.
Brayley tells us (vol. ii. p. 264) that the house-
takes its name from the family of Foster,
C.J., who held it in the latter part of the
seventeenth century. This, however, is an
error : it was known as Fosters long before.
In a survey of the manor, 1, 2, 3 Ed. VI.,
Land Rev., Mis. Books, vol. 190 at P. R. O.,
we find Hugh Warham holding " a tenement
formerly Adam de Foster." A year or two-
later, in the Feet of Fines 4 Ed. VI., 1 550-5 1,.
we have a fine between William, son of Hugh
Warham, and Richard Pexalls and others,
respecting the " manor of Imworthe alias
Fosters." A still earlier reference in the
Manor Court Rolls, A.D. 1520, refers to
" land called Fosters." Apparently the
house was built on this land, which formed
part of the ancient sub- or reputed manor of
Immeworth in Egham.
Judge Doderidge was in possession in 1622, and paid a quit rent to the Crown? but by the time of the Parliamentary
