31. THE HOSPITAL OF LUDGERSHALL
Three hides of land at Ludgershall, valued at 60s., were granted by Henry II. to the brethren of Santingfeld near Wissant before 1156,[23] but it is by no means certain that a hospital was actually built there. On other lands, near Luton in Bedfordshire, which were granted in the same charter, the hos- pital of Farley was founded shortly after, and it seems not unlikely that another was built at Ludgershall [24] ; but the only actual evi- dence of its existence is the fact that the mas- ter of Farley in 1296 is called master of Farley and of Ludgershall.[25] All other allusions to the lands given by Henry II. in this place de- scribe them as the property of the brethren of Santingfeld. [26] At the suppression of the alien priories, the lands of Farley and Lud- gershall were granted in 1448 to King's College, Cambridge.[27]
ALIEN HOUSES
32. THE CLUNIAC PRIORY OF NEWTON LONGVILLE
The priory of Newton Longville was founded by Walter Giffard as a cell to St. Faith's at Longueville near Rouen. The lands in Buckinghamshire which formed its endowment were granted to the Norman priory about 1150,[28] and it seems probable that the English cell was built almost at once, as a grant of materials for the purpose was in- cluded in Walter Giffard's charter. [29] Very little is known of the history of this house ; it was immediately subject to St. Faith's, and exempt from episcopal jurisdiction. In 1277 Edward I. sent the priory a gift of two tuns of wine. [30] In 1331 the prior received a licence to go to the general chapter at Cluny with his suite. [31] During the wars of the fourteenth century this priory probably suffered the same losses and inconveniences as other alien cells. It was finally granted to New College, Ox- ford, in 1441.[32]
The original endowment consisted of the manors of Great Horwood, Newton Long- ville, Whaddon and Akeley, with their churches ; tithes of other lands, fishpools and woods, and free pasture for stock, as well as
