Previous holder: Humphrey Stafford Holding arrangement: joint Shared holding: Stafford family Narrative / explanation: The four named Stafford parties joined in the sale of the manor to Thomas and Edward Elrington. The 1551 date is given by the Victoria County History; an antiquarian account gives 1552, so the date should be treated as 1551-1552 rather than as wholly certain.

Previous holder: Sir William Stafford, Dorothy Stafford, Sir Humphrey Stafford and Elizabeth Stafford Holding arrangement: joint Shared holding: Elrington family Narrative / explanation: Thomas Elrington held a court at Abinger in 1563, providing corroborating evidence of the Elringtons' manorial lordship.

The interest was later conveyed through Richard Browne to Sir Oliph Leigh in 1595 and acquired by George Evelyn in the same year. Previous holder: Thomas Elrington and Edward Elrington Holding arrangement: trust Share / interest: One moiety Shared holding: Hill moiety Narrative / explanation: This was a trust holding rather than an outright beneficial ownership by Richard Brown. The source uses both Brown and Browne in describing the trustee and his son; the spelling variation is retained in the historical narrative but the parties are treated as the same documented interest only where the source makes the succession explicit.

Previous holder: Thomas Elrington and Edward Elrington Holding arrangement: share Share / interest: One moiety Shared holding: Morgan moiety Narrative / explanation: William Morgan of Chilworth held one of the two moieties created by the Elrington alienation.

Previous holder: Richard Brown, trustee for Richard Hill, and William Morgan Holding arrangement: joint Share / interest: Two separate moieties held jointly in the names of the respective moiety interests Shared holding: Joint moiety lords Narrative / explanation: This entry records the documented exercise of manorial lordship, not a new conveyance.

Previous holder: William Morgan Holding arrangement: share Share / interest: One moiety Shared holding: Morgan moiety Narrative / explanation: The source records the 1589 settlement on John and the later 1602 settlement on Anne. This is the documented descent of the Morgan moiety and should not be read as a transfer of the separate Hill moiety.

Previous holder: John Morgan Holding arrangement: share Share / interest: One moiety Shared holding: Morgan-Randyll moiety Narrative / explanation: Edward Randyll's 1622 conveyance is the documented transfer by which the Morgan moiety entered the Evelyn estate.

Previous holder: Thomas Elrington and Edward Elrington Holding arrangement: trust Share / interest: One moiety Shared holding: Hill moiety Narrative / explanation: The source identifies Richard Hill as the beneficiary for whom Richard Brown held the moiety in trust. Because the evidence concerns a trust arrangement, Richard Hill is not treated as an undisputed sole legal holder during the whole period.

Previous holder: Richard Browne, trustee for the Hill interest Holding arrangement: trust Share / interest: One moiety Shared holding: Intermediate Leigh holding Narrative / explanation: The Victoria County History expressly treats this conveyance as probably in trust. Sir Oliph Leigh is therefore recorded as an intermediate legal or nominal holder rather than as the certain beneficial owner.

Previous holder: Sir Oliph Leigh Holding arrangement: share Share / interest: One moiety Shared holding: Evelyn moiety Narrative / explanation: The source states that the moiety conveyed to Sir Oliph Leigh in 1595 was acquired by George Evelyn in the same year. This was the second moiety to enter the Evelyn family; the other moiety was acquired by Richard Evelyn in 1622.

Previous holder: Edward Randyll Holding arrangement: sole Share / interest: Whole manor after acquisition of the second moiety Shared holding: Evelyn family Narrative / explanation: The 1622 conveyance is the key reunification transaction. The Victoria County History states that the whole manor was thereafter in the possession of the Evelyn family. A separate antiquarian guide gives 1625 and names Edward Radford, but the Victoria County History provides the more detailed moiety-by-moiety account and is preferred here.

Previous holder: Richard Evelyn Holding arrangement: sole Share / interest: Whole manor; family ownership with individual successions not fully documented in the cited sources Shared holding: Evelyn estate Narrative / explanation: The 1911 Victoria County History states that the whole manor was still in the possession of the Evelyn family. The British Library catalogue confirms that Evelyn estate papers for the manor and parish of Abinger survive for 1486-1862, including papers predating the Evelyn acquisition. A 1913 local historical account identifies J. H. C. Evelyn as lord of the manor. The individual conveyances between Richard Evelyn and J. H. C. Evelyn have not been reconstructed here because the sources located do not provide them securely.

Evelyn, Esquire, J.P., lord of the manor of Abinger Person: https://manorialregistry.com/?mhr_person=j-h-c-evelyn-14621 Transfer: Identified in a 1913 account as lord of the manor of Abinger; the conveyance or succession by which he acquired the manor is not established in the sources located.

The source does not establish whether J. H. C. Evelyn held the legal freehold of every element of the former manor, nor does it provide a later transfer. No relationship to any current holder is inferred. Source citation: Surrey in the Great War, Abinger parish page, citing the 1913 local context and identifying J. H. C. Evelyn as lord of the manor.
