• Background Information. ¹²⁶⁵
The manor of Fulking descended in the Say family, [Cal. Inq. p.m. ii, p. 361; Suss. Rec. Soc. xxiii, 2668. Cf. Hamsey] at least until 1428, [Feud. Aids, v, 162] and this connexion gives grounds for linking the half-fee with the 5½ hides in Perching of William de Watevile, [Cf. V.C.H. Suss. i, 356-7, 440] which probably came into the hands of the Chesney family through the marriage of Ralph de Chesney, living in 1086, with Maud daughter of William de Watevile. [Cf. Suss. Arch. Coll. lxv, 21, 45] Possessions of the Chesney family subsequently descended by marriage to Geoffrey de Say, early in the 13th century.
