Much of the west of the parish, part of Ecclesden manor in Angmering, belonged in the Middle Ages to Fecamp Abbey and later to Syon Abbey <http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/Documents/syon_abbey.htm> (Horsfield). The lands concerned included the area known as Selden. In 1540 Ecclesden manor was granted to John Palmer of Angmering, together with its appurtenances in Patching but excluding lands later called Barnstake and Surgeons fields. The Palmer lands in Patching were partly or wholly dispersed in the early 17th century. In 1605 Sir Thomas Palmer, the son of John Palmer, granted lands in Patching to Sir John Caryll, who died seised of lands there and in Ecclesden in 1613 [Sussex Record Society 70] In 1608 he also granted away lands in Selden which had formerly been part of the demesne lands of Ecclesden manor, and of which 10 ½ acres were successfully claimed in 1850 to be tithe-free as former monastic land. Palmer's son, another Sir Thomas, sold a messuageand 40 acres in Selden to Robert and Sibyl Grinyer.

Thomas married Mary Palmer [55648] [MRIN: 551614611], daughter of Sir Thomas Palmer Knight [55649] and Bridget (Griseld) Carryll [55650], before 1565 in Angmering, Sussex, England. (Mary Palmer [55648] was born about 1545 in Parham, Sussex, England.)
