Manor Profile
Portsea, Hampshire· Portsdown Hundred· 1199 – 1635
Milton was a manor on Portsea Island, within the parish of Portsea. It was not separately recorded in the Domesday survey of 1086 (VCH Hampshire Vol. 3, pp. 198-199).
The manor was granted with Warblington by King John to Matthew son of Herbert. Peter son of Matthew alienated it to William Falconer of Hurstbourne Priory at the service of a pair of gloves yearly at Easter (VCH Hampshire Vol. 3, pp. 198-199).
The Falconer family held Milton for over three hundred years. In 1388 John Falconer obtained confirmation of his title. The VCH records three tenants in villeinage under Peter son of Matthew. The lord of Warblington retained woodland profits, fishing, and fowling in 1494 (VCH Hampshire Vol. 3, pp. 198-199).
John Falconer still held Milton and Emsworth in 1635. The manor was purchased by Richard Cotton of Warblington and was thenceforward coincident with Warblington. The VCH describes the village as one street with weather-beaten cottages, dilapidated farm buildings, and thatched structures (VCH Hampshire Vol. 3, pp. 198-199).
The commons of Milton and Eastney were enclosed under an Act of 1810. The common field known as Velder or Welder was enclosed at the same time (VCH Hampshire Vol. 3, pp. 198-199).
