Roger de NEWBURGH

                   .  Robert de Newburgh was under age at the time of his father's
death about 1192, but on coming of age succeeded to the latter's
estates in Dorsetshire and also inherited lands from his mother,
as in 1199 he paid scuttage of 30 marks on his fees formerly of
Roger Arundel.  On 24 March 1210, King John confirmed to Robert
de Newburgh the grant made to his grandfather Robert de Newburgh
by Henry I of the manor of Winfrith with lands in Lullworth,
etc., in Dorsetshire.  Said manor being held in capite (of the
crown) by the service of holding the basin of water and the
towel for the washing of the king's hands on Christmas Day.  At
a later period the service was changed to the day of the
coronation of each sovereign.  This manor and service continued
in the Newburgh family for twelve generations, during a period
of nearly four centuries, through the coronation of King Henry
VIII in 1509.  In 1515, on the death of Sir Roger Newburgh,
Knight, the manor passed through an heiress out of the Newburgh
name but at later coronations this right of service was claimed
by the lords of the manor to whom it had descended from the
Newburghs.
In 1217 Robert, son of Roger de Newburgh, granted by charter the
manor of Woolaveston to Brindon Abbey where he was interred
about 1230.
