After the dissolution of the Monastery of Southwick, the Rectories of Portsmouth and Portsea with the tithes of corn and grain of the whole Island of Portsea, inluding the hamlet of Hilsea within Portsbridge, together with the Advowsons of the Vicarages of Portsmouth and Portsea, were granted, on the 12th of July, in the 35th year of the reign of Henry VIII, to the Warden and Scholars, Clerks, of St. Mary’s College, near Winchester, for ever. The lease of the tithes, and of the manor farm of Stubbington, is held under the College, by Thomas Thistlethwayte Esq., of Southwick, and is underlet by him to John Burrell, Esq. who resides at Stubbington Lodge. The whole of the above property was previously part of the large possessions of the Prior and Convent of Southwick.
