Hardley is a suburb of the village of Holbury in the civil parish of Fawley in Hampshire, England.
The name Hardley means "hard clearing", presumably in relation to the soft marshlands which surround the area. [1] Hardley is listed in the Domesday Book of 1086, when it was considered part of the New Forest. [2] It is mentioned again in the 14th century, when William Chippe held lands there. [3] In the 16th century the estate assumed the title of a manor in the hands of William Buckett, who held it from at least 1531 to 1579. [3] After this it changed hands rapidly until finally conveyed to Richard Pittis, attorney of the King's Bench in 1628. [3] There is no further trace of Hardley as a separate manor, but lands there were among the possessions of the Stanleys of the Paultons estate in 1693, 1745, and 1781. [3]
A curious incident occurred in the 16th century when Thomas Tracie held the lease of Hardley Farm from William Buckett. [3] Peter Kembridge and a man named Oglander wishing to rob Tracie of some of his possessions, arrested him, Oglander impersonating the sheriff's bailiff. [3] Carried by force to an alehouse at Dibden, Tracie, who describes himself as "a poor plain simple creature," was compelled "to seal and deliver certain writings, but to what effect he himself knoweth not." [3] Tracie's wife meanwhile followed her husband, and "made moan" for him outside the chamber. [3] On gaining his freedom, Tracie appealed to the Court of Chancery. [3]

Smallbrook Manor is a manor house on the Isle of Wight, lying at the north-eastern boundary of Newchurch parish. It doubtless took its name from the stream that here forms the boundary of the parish. It is of ancient origin, as in 1280 William de Smallbrook (Smalebrook) granted land to his son Hugh. It was held at the end of the 14th century by the Wyvill family, and remained in their possession until 1491–2, when Stephen Wyvill, the last of the family, sold it to Henry Howles. Smallbrook passed in the Howles family until the reign of Elizabeth, when it was divided between co-heirs and sold to Sir William Oglander. In the court held at Ashey Manor, 1 November 1624, Sir John Oglander was returned as a freeholder and free suitor of the manor for his farm called 'Smallbroke.' The estate has since descended with Nunwell and as of 1912 was held by Mr J. H. Oglander, who had the Court Rolls in his possession.
