Etymology
v. East Clandon supra 137. The reason for the addition of 'Kings' or 'Regis' is uncertain. In 1279 (VCH iii, 347) it is stated that a part of the manor had been in the king's hands, but no actual grant appears to be on record. TRE the manor was held by one Fulcui and TRW by Edward of Salisbury. Clandon Regis (6″), the old dower house, preserves the medieval name.
