For the history of the college of St Mary-in-the-Castle, see Victoria County History of Sussex 2 (1907), pp112-117. The common fund of the church for food and clothing was endowed with an annual rent of four ambers of salt from Rye. Vincent was dean of the college of St Mary-in-the-Castle by about 1250, but the college was in the hands of a keeper on behalf of the crown, the patron, by 1275 - see Calendar of charters... at Penshurst (1873)), 187, 194-199, 262. The presence of Robert de Basoc, lord of Sedlescombe, among the witnesses, argues for a date early in that period, and it is suggested that the inspection of 1281 is the result of the family of the grantee taking the opportunity of the vacancy to have their charter confirmed by the crown. For Prestwick, see Dawson, History of Hastings Castle (1909), p 250.

The crown inspects a charter of Richard II, inspecting a charter of Edward III, inspecting a chancery enrolment of Edward I, which itself inspected:
Grant for rent in lieu of services [c1250]
Vincent, dean of the college of St-Mary-in-the-Castle, Hastings, to John, son of Wymark de Chitelbuch', and to his heirs begotten in lawful marriage
All that land in Chittlebirch (Chitelbirche) [in Sedlescombe] which Wymark held while he lived
to hold by an annual rent of 4s 10d to the dean and 12d on 30 Nov to the community for all services, suits and customs, except that when Vincent causes the salt to be delivered which belongs to his prebend, John and his heirs shall be bound to carry it to Hastings (Hastynges) or Bulverhythe (Bolewareheze) for the canon's food (ad cibum canonici); on the death of John and his heirs, they should leave the best animal of their household (de domo sua) to their lord the canon for the time being; John and his heirs may not sell or alienate to men of religion

On 26 May 1855 Francis William Starnes and Picknell had assigned to the Revd Burrell Hayley of Catsfield the lease of 19 Wellington Square for the residue of the 99-year term as security for the loan of £1000 at 5 percent by Hayley to Picknell; on the same day WP agreed that £500 of the £1000 should be secured on the premises above with power to sell [7].
On 29 May 1856 Picknell, then described as a builder, agreed with Tilden Smith of Vinehall in Mountfield, James Hilder of Robertsbridge in Salehurst, George Scrivens of Hastings and Francis Smith of Hastings (bankers trading as Smith, Hilder, Scrivens and Co) to charge

On 14 Nov 1857 Picknell conveyed all his freehold property to Charles Womersley of Hastings, auctioneer and Samuel Collier Burgess of Hastings, ironmonger in trust for sale [7].
In exercise of this power the property was divided into two lots. Lot 1 consisted of Spring House and was sold for £385 (in discharge of £258 16s 8d due on the mortgages of 7 Aug 1849 and 31 Jan 1851) on 19 Jul 1858 to John Gallop of Hastings carpenter and reserving to the owners and occupiers of the adjoining 1-2 Spring Cottages [for which see PAR369/24/2/6-14] use of the back entrance and right of drainage through the garden of Spring House (4).
In his will of 11 Nov 1891 Gallop appointed as his executors and trustees Thomas White of 10 St Helens Road, Hastings grocer and John Jabez Smith of 9 St Thomas Road, Hastings, clerk to the Hastings and St Leonards Gas Co, and bequeathed his real estate to them in trust to pay the rents to his wife Hannah for life and remainder to her sister Ellen Jane Belsey (wife of James Thomas Belsey), except Spring Cottage, Hastings, which he devised to his wife's other sister, JJ Smith's wife Amelia Smith. John Gallop died on 30 Oct 1894 and his will was proved on 24 Dec 1894; Hannah Gallop died on 31 Jul 1898 (2, 4).
On 26 Jun 1900 Ellen Jane Belsey and Amelia Smith executed a deed of arrangement (plan) confirming to each other their respective properties (1). In her will of 7 Jun 1909, Ellen appointed as her executors Edward William Standen of 129 Mount Pleasant Road, Hastings, dairyman and John Jabez Smith (then of 153 Ashburnham Road, Hastings) and devised Spring House to them in trust for her husband for life and then in trust for sale. Ellen died on 12 Feb 1916 (her husband having pre-deceased her) and her will was proved on 23 Mar 1916 (4).

The property descended with 7 and 7a Portland Place [see PAR369/24/2/1-5] until 1858, when the estate of William Picknell was auctioned in two lots. Lot 2, consisting of Spring Cottages (plan), was sold for £300 (in discharge of £295 due on the mortgage of 26 May 1855) to William White of Guestling, schoolmaster, on 20 Jul 1858 (8).
In his will of 29 Dec 1859 White appointed Thomas White of 52 Queens Road, Hastings, grocer and Mary Jane White as trustees and executors and devised the property to his wife Harriet for life with remainder to the trustees in trust for sale. White died on 25 Jan 1863 and his will was proved on 1 Apr 1863; on 26 Dec 1870 Mary Jane married Walter Jones of 49 Kings Road, St Leonards, upholsterer, and on 26 Jan 1892 Harriet White died. The executors sold the property, then called 8-9 Portland Place, on 6 Apr 1892 for £500 to Sarah White of Rose Cottage, Guestling, spinster (9), who in her will of 9 Nov 1894 appointed her brother Thomas White as her executor with power to sell the property; she died on 28 Nov 1896 and her will was proved on 16 Feb 1897. Thomas White, then of 10 St Helens Road, Hastings, grocer sold the property on 9 Jul 1897 for £585 to John Robert Buckland of 3 Bedford Gardens, Middlesex, gent (10).
In his will of 28 Jun 1905 and codicil of 4 Nov 1910 Buckland appointed John Henry Roberts and his wife Carlotta Buckland as his executor and executrix. He died on 31 Dec 1914, his will was proved on 15 Sep 1915 and on 10 Jun 1918 Carlotta Buckland of 10 Pelham Crescent, Hastings, widow sold the property for £200 to Sydney Bertram Dyer of 38 Havelock Road, Hastings, auctioneer and estate agent (12)
. He mortgaged the property (with 8 Wellington Terrace, Hastings) on 12 Jun 1918 for £350 at £3 1s per month over 14 years to the Hastings and East Sussex Industrial and General Permanent Benefit Building Society. The mortgage was repaid on 14 Jan 1921 (13). Dyer sold the property on 20 Feb 1922 for £325 to George Seymour Leech of 43 Castle Hill Road, Hastings, gent (14).

On 4 May 1925 George Seymour Leech, then of 93 Freshfield Road, Queens Park, Brighton, gent, conveyed the properties for £850 to Samuel Clarke of 39 Whitefriars Road, Hastings, gent (15) who on 9 Feb 1926 sold them to the trustees of the Church House Trust (16).
