ADDINGTON, (Surrey) 3 m. from Croydon, and near Ewel, has a Ch. an irregular building, which seems to be above 300 years old, yet is still very firm. This village lies at the descent of a high spacious common, to which it gives name. The Ld. of this manor, in the R. of Hen. III. held it by this service, viz. to make his Majesty a mess of pottage in an earthen pot in the K.'s. kitchen at his coronation, called Dilligrout; and if there were butter or fat in it, 'twas then called Maupigyrnum. And so late as the coronation of Ch. II. it appeared that Tho. Leigh, Esq; then Ld. of the manor, made a mess of Dilligrout, according to his tenure, and brought it to the K. at his table, as he was ordered by the court of claims; and the K. accepted of his service, though he did not taste it.
