Farlington

William de Curci held lands in Farlington in 1187. In 1200 Robert de Curci and Roger de Scures disputed the right to present to the church. The descent is unclear until 1248, when Roger de Merlay granted one and a half carucates and 7s. rent to William son of Alan Stake and his wife Ellen. In 1250 Roger de Merlay endowed his daughter Agnes with land valued at 20 pounds upon her marriage to Nicholas son of Thomas de Gimises.

Agnes's son John alienated the manor to John de Berewyk in 1290. John de Berewyk died seised in 1312. His heir was Roger Husee, his great-nephew. Roger de Upton, Berewyk's servant, produced a charter granting the manor to himself, his wife, and his son John, and took possession. Roger de Upton held the manor in 1316.

In 1320 John de Upton conveyed the manor to Hugh le Despenser. After Despenser's death and forfeiture in 1327, the king granted the manor, valued at 20 pounds a year, to Alice, late wife of Edmund, Earl of Arundel, for life. In 1330 the manor came into the king's hands and was granted to John Montgomerie and his wife Rose for life. John Montgomerie died in 1347.

In 1348 the manor passed to the prior and convent of Southwick. The grant was made in consideration of losses sustained through invasion by the king's enemies. Southwick Priory held the manor until the Dissolution. At the Dissolution 10s. was returned for a fishing farm.

In 1540 the manor was granted to William Pound of Beaumonds. William Pound's father William, son of Sir John Pound and Elizabeth Holt, had held lands of the prior and convent of Southwick. The elder William died in 1525. William Pound died seised in 1558. His son Thomas, aged 20, succeeded him.

Henry Pound conveyed the manor to John Wolfe in 1663. In 1684 Henry Pound conveyed to Nathaniel Hunt, and about the same date it was sold to Thomas Smith. In 1769 trustees sold to Peter Taylor. In 1815 trustees sold to Lord Keith by private Act of Parliament. Lord Keith sold to John Walker in 1818. John Walker's trustees sold to John Deverell in 1857. John Deverell died in 1880 and the manor passed to his son William Deverell.
