Tichbourne Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

Tichbourne in Hampshire, has, from a period of unknown antiquity, probably before the Conquest, been in the possession of a family who derived their name from it. They have a remarkable tradition, that a female ancestor, Mabella do Lymerston, wife of Sir Roger de T., in the XII. century, obtained from her husband as much land as she could creep round on hands and knees while a firebrand continued burning. She thus encircled several acres, with the annual value of which she founded a dole of 1,900 loaves. This continued to bo delivered on Lady-day, till the end of the last century, when a commutation was made, and the amount is now paid in money to the poor of the parish. Tho land so obtained is still known by the name of the" Crawles!" An ancient prophecy affirms, that the fortunes of this venerable family will fail, should any of the lady Mabel's posterity attempt to divert the charity.
