HORMEAD-LITTLE, (Hertfordshire) half a m. S. from the former, was granted by Edw. III. to the abbey of St. Mary-Grace near the Tower of London; but Hen. VIII. granted it to Sir Tho. Audley, and his heirs, from whom it passed to Thomas D. of Norfolk, who sold it to Edward Newport of Forneux Pelham, from whom it descended to William Newport, and now to John Newport. They are both on the N.E. side of Buntingford. Hormead-Hall was sold by Francis Delawood to Tho. Bonest of Putney, whose grandson, Thomas, sold it again to Will. Delawood, who left it by will to Isaac and Abraham Houblon, and it is since descended to Jacob Houblon, Esq;.
