The name Chinham then spelt Chunham occurs again in 1272, when Herbert Pecche died seised of 60 acres of land in Ellisfield, which he held of William de Chunham [Chan. Inq. p.m. 57 Hen. III, No. 4]. He left an heir in his son Bartholomew, who was probably that Bartholomew Pecche who made the grant of land and advowson in Ellisfield to Southwick Priory [De Banco, No. 60, 12d.; Mich. 13 Edw. I]. In 1284 John de Foxle, John de St. John, and Michael de Chillham (another variation probably of Chinham) were guardians of the lands and heir of Bartholomew Pecche [De Banco, No. 60, 12d.; Mich. 13 Edw. I]. In 1327 part of rents in Ellisfield and Bromleigh which were granted by Sir John Pecche to his mother Dame Joan was due from the prior [Burrows, Family of Brocas, 398; Feet of F. Hants, Trin. 3 Edw. III] of Southwick.

Herbert de Shortecombe died seised of 2 marks rent in Lollingdon at some date prior to 1240, when his nephew and heir Robert de Shortecombe, then a minor, remitted that rent to Bartholomew Peche in exchange for the reversion of land in Sparsholt [Assize R. 37, m. 17 d]. Bartholomew's son and heir Herbert Peche died about 1272 holding the manor of Lollingdon of Robert de Shortecombe in free socage by 1d. yearly [Cal. Inq. p.m. (Hen. III), 285]. The Shortecombe mesne lordship appears to have lapsed very shortly after the death of Herbert Peche, whose son and heir [Ibid] held Lollingdon of the king in chief as one-tenth of a knight's fee [Ibid. 1'9619 Edw. I, 293] He died seised about 1283 [Ibid,] leaving his son, another Bartholomew, a boy of three and a half, as his heir. In 1327 [De Banco R. 270, m. 7] Joan, the widow of Bartholomew Peche, impleaded John Peche concerning an agreement made between them as to the manor of Lollingdon. The younger Bartholomew was knighted and his son John is mentioned in 1349, when the manor of Lollingdon was held for life by Elizabeth Edward, by a certain Joan and by William son of Joan [Feet of F. Berks. 23 Edw. III, no. 50].
