Parishes: Wymering
A History of the County of Hampshire: Volume 3

William de Erle died seised of Cosham Manor in 1307, (fn. 54) which he held of the castle of Portchester, part of which he had acquired by inheritance, being a descendant of the second daughter of Peter Cosham, and part probably in right of his wife Maud who was the daughter of John Wade. (fn. 55)

Two years later the grange opposite the wall at Cosham was assigned in dower to Maud widow of William de Erlee. (fn. 56)

In 1321 (fn. 57) John son of William de Erlee granted his land in Cosham to Thomas de Sandford and Joan his wife, (fn. 58) who thus became seised of the whole estate.
