Adderbury, Oxfordshire:

In 1310 Henry Marwell, Bishop of Winchester, granted a house and 96 a. in Adderbury 
to Walter atte Halle, brother of Master Thomas Abberbury, and his son Richard. In 
1323 Walter's son John paid a fine for acquiring the land without the king's licence. A 
Walter atte Hall was mentioned from 1355 to 1373, and either he or a successor of the 
same name leased the rectorial tithes from New College ante 1387. John, son of 
Walter atte Hall, leased the Winchester demesne between 1405 and 1420. The 
proportion which John's brother and successor Thomas sold to John Fitzalan in 1446-7 
probably included his Adderbury lands, for Fitzalan sold to John Goylyn the elder in 
1452-3, and at his death in 1485 John Goylyn the younger held Tisoes Place and Hall 
Place in Adderbury. His son, another John, was succeeded in 1506-7 by his daughter 
Margaret, wife of John Docwra, who in 1519 sold the estate to Richard Fermor.

NOTE: Walter was the brother of "Master Thomas Abberbury" at about this time, so he 
must have been known as Walter atte Halle, and he had a son Richard. It is not clear 
from the above, but Master Thomas Abberbury supposedly died in 1307, so the Bishop 
must have granted the house to Walter after his death. Walter inherited Thomas's 
lands so perhaps the grant was in a manner, an "inheritance" of lands which had been 
previously granted to Thomas. According to the above Walter must have had a son 
John as well (probably younger than Richard), who was presumably the father of the 
later Walter Atte Hall mentioned in 1355 to 1373, with more successors following. Also 
note that I don't know why Thomas Abberbury was known as "Master", since he was 
not under age, but he seems to be named this in mutiple accounts. Was he perhaps, a 
Master builder/mason?
