THE present volume is the result of an attempt, now made for
the first time, to describe a large accumulation of documents,
preserved in the Bodleian Library. These formerly constituted
the collections of Anthony a Wood, Roger Dodsworth, Ralph
Thoresby, Thomas Martin of Palgrave, Thomas Tanner bishop
of St. Asaph, Dr. Richard Rawlinson, Richard Furney archdeacon
of Surrey, and Richard Gough.
The several collections have, for the purpose of description,
been thrown together ; and the parishes, which are illustrated by
the various documents, have been arranged alphabetically under
their counties. This plan has been adopted as being the most
convenient for reference. The description will be found, it is
hoped, as complete and concise as the nature and extent of the
materials will allow.
Of these collections perhaps the most interesting and valuable,
on account of the various monasteries represented, is that be-
queathed to the Ashmolean Library by Anthony a Wood.
Its history is briefly this : By a bull oT Pope Clement VII,
dated at Rome 5 id. March 1525, the third year of his pontificate,
and confirmed by letters patent dated ist October, 16 Henry VIII,
the following monasteries with their revenues were granted to
Cardinal Wolsey for the foundation of his proposed college at
Oxford : viz. St. Frideswide and Littlemore, Oxford ; Tickford,
Bradwell, and Ravenstone, Bucks ; Daventry, Northamptonshire ;
Can well and Sandwell, Staffordshire; Tunbridge and Lesnes,
Kent ; Beigham and De Calceto, near Arundel, Sussex ; Wykes,
Tiptre, Blackmore, Stanesgate, Horkesley and Thoby, Essex;
Poghley and Wallingford, Berks ; Dodenash and Snape, Suffolk.
The writings belonging to these twenty- two religious houses,
according to Wood \ ' were by the Cardinall transferred to Oxon,
and there layed till his fall, after which divers of the said lands
comming into the hands of the king, and by hirn granted to
laicks, those writings that belonged to those places lay in a
careless manner subject to wet and the mercy of rats, and none
of them except those that concerned lands and churches that
were confirmed on King Henry VIII college were carefully pre-
served, soe yt the rest, viz. charters of gifts, leases, aecompts,
terriers, rent rolls, &c., being cramped altogether in a little study

or by-roome in the said treasury, as also in an old worme-eaten
chest, have layed soe much neglected to the mercy of wet and
rats, that most of them, or the chiefest part of them, are con-
sumed to dirt, and noe piece of them bigger than a shilling is
remaining.'
Such was the condition of these evidences in Wood's day.
They had been previously, for some 150 years, in the custody of
Christ Church, where they were obviously considered of no real
value, and probably were given by the authorities to Wood. A
similar neglect would seem to have befallen them from Wood's
time to the present day ; for many of the wrappers had never
been removed since he endorsed them with the name of the re-
ligious house to which they belonged, and with the note ' from
I. Kidd,' the official, possibly, of Christ Church who had the
charge of them. Many had, however, been printed by Dodsworth
and Dugdale in the Monasticon, and described as then being in
Wood's possession ; and most of them are quoted in Tanner's
Notitia, under the following reference : ' Cartas quasdam originates
in pyxide Acad. Oxon. legato, ab Ant. Wood in Museo Askmol'
The subsequent dissolution of the greater monasteries added
to the mass of documents already possessed by Christ Church;
and the evidences of Oseney, Thame, and Nottley, became inter-
mixed with those of the twenty-two houses before mentioned.
Many charters of these monasteries also came into Wood's posses-
sion. They are here calendared under the names of the respective
abbeys.
The calendar itself will show the peculiar variety and extent of
the documents preserved, but special attention may be directed
to a few of the most remarkable of them.
Priory of St. Frideswide, Oxford.
(1) King Stephen's charter of confirmation of the chapel of
Brill, as held by the convent in the time of King Edward, King
William his grandfather, and King Henry his uncle. Dated at
Oxford; c. 1135.
(2) A grant by William de Mandeville of the tithe of hay in
the village of Cerchil (Churchill, Oxon) ; before the year 1189.
(3) An exceedingly rare example of a charter issued by King
Henry, son of King Henry II, of which the following is a
transcript :
' Henricus rex Angliae et Dux Normanniae et Comes Andegaviae,
Regis Henrici filius, Henrico Forestario Salutem. Precipio tibi quod
juste et sine dilatione adresciari facias fossatum quod firinari fecisti ia
pratis juxta HaHwellam post coronationem meam sicut esse debet et
fiicut antea fuit, ne injuste noceat libero tenemento prioris de Sancta
Fretheswitha et Canonicorum nee gurgiti suo. Et nisi feceris vicecomes
de Oxenefordsir' faciat fieri ne in amplius clamorem audiam pro penuria
recti. Teste Willelmo de Sancto Johanne apud Oxen.' c. 1170.
PREFACE. v
(4) An exchange of land between the convent and Copin the
Jew of Worcester, in the parish of St. Aldate, Oxford; c. 1230.
The great and lesser Jewry were contained within this parish and
were contiguous to the priory, the lands here having been pur-
chased by the Jews of Robert Trezemars during Henry Ill's
reign. The witnesses of the charter are distinctly designated as
Christians and Jews respectively.
(5) Foundation charter and ordinances for the chantry within
the church of St. Frideswide, founded by the Lady Elizabeth
Montacute, together with her power of attorney for giving to the
priory seizin of the land then known as Montagues-mede, but now
as Christ Church meadow. This charter is much mutilated, but
fortunately it had been transcribed into the Chartulary now pre-
served in the Chapter House at Christ Church. The Chantry
Chapel, on the north side of the choir of the present Cathedral,
contains an interesting monument of the foundress, which has
been well preserved.
(6) An agreement between Hugh the abbot and convent of
Abingdon, and the prior and convent of St. Frideswide, con-
cerning the right of presentation to the church of St. Aldad's,
Oxford ; c. 1220. The only other church dedicated to this saint
is in the city of Gloucester.
(7) A most valuable document, in French, being the earliest
known description of the boundaries of the city of Oxford, written
at the beginning of the i5th century, and formerly preserved
among the St. Frideswide's evidences. It is fully translated at
p. 31 1 of the present Calendar.
Priory of Littlemore.
The evidences of this priory, forty-eight in number, were con-
sulted by Sir William Dugdale, and eleven of them have been
printed in the Monasticon.
(i) The charter of Henry II, confirming the donation of Roger
de Sanfort or Sandford, was found among the Wood charters.
Nasmyth, in his edition of the Notitia Monastica, states that it
had formerly been in the custody of Bishop Tanner, and expresses
some uncertainty as to its existence in his own time. It is however
well preserved, and, although the great seal is lost, the capsule of
linen and white leather still remains. The charter of Roger de
Sandford, of which this is a confirmation, is printed in the Monas-
ticon, vol. iv. p. 492 ; but this is by no means conclusive evidence
that Roger de Sandford was the founder of the nunnery. The state-
ment in the Hundred Rolls is to the effect that it was founded
by Robert de Sandford in a pasture called ' Cherleyham ' per-
taining to the manor of Sandford held by the Templars. And
this view is corroborated by the grant of lands at Pusey, Berks,
by Robert de Sandford, of about the same date as the present
v i PREFACE.
confirmation. The land there is granted to the church of St.
Mary, St. Nicholas, and St. Edmund of Cherleia, and the gifts
of Roger, son of Nicholas, and Ralph his son, are confirmed.
This charter helps to explain the indiscriminate use of the names
Littlemore and Sandford by which this nunnery was desig-
nated. It is witnessed by Jordan, Roger and Warine, sons of
the grantor.
(2) The bull of Pope Innocent IV, an. 1245, releasing ten days
of penance to all who should assist in the work of rebuilding the
conventual church of Littlemore, is also printed in the Monasticon,
vol. iv. p. 493, No. xii.
(3) Among the Oseney charters (5 *) is a bull of Pope Honorius
III, an. 1224, confirming a composition between Oseney Abbey
and this nunnery with regard to the tithes of Stockwell-mede.
Priory of Tiptre in Essex.
Of this priory, dedicated to St. Mary, St. John the Baptist, and
St. Nicholas, there are twenty-nine charters from the collections
of Wood and Rawlinson. Very little of its early history has been
printed either by Morant or Tanner ; and those writers are incon-
sistent with each other. The earliest date of its existence, hitherto
known, falls in the reign of Edward I. From these charters much
may be cleared up, and, although the charter of foundation is
not preserved, yet as early as the reign of Henry II there is
a grant of the fee in little Toteham, of Maurice, son of Robert
de Toteham, who, if not the founder, was probably one of its
earliest benefactors. The priory became possessed of the church
of Tolleshunt Tregoz by the gift of Geoffrey de Tregoz ; and
the charter of confirmation of his son William de Tregoz is
witnessed by Henry, abbot of Maldon [Bileigh], a monastery
founded an. 1180, by Robert Mauntell. The charte'r also bears
the names of Robert and Matthew Mauntell as witnesses.
Tolleshunt Tregoz church was appropriated by William bishop
of London an. 1218, the vicarage being endowed with houses,
lands, small tithes, and the offerings of the altar. The priory
possessed lands in Braxsted, Tolleshunt, and Totham, in the time
of King Henry III, the original grants of which are contained
in this collection.
Priory of Tholy or Ginges in Essex.
This priory, dedicated to St. Mary and St. Leonard, was founded
by Michael Capra, Rohesia his wife, and William his son. The
foundation charter and other evidences are preserved in this col-
lection, the former being printed in the Monasticon, vol. vi. p. 554.
Priory of Stanesgate in Essex.
The muniments of this priory, seventeen in number, princi-
pally relate to the village of Steple and the appropriation of
PREFACE. vii
its church. These charters have never been consulted for its
history. The following- names of priors are found in them :
(i) William de Petresfeld, c. 1260. (2) William de Canttiaria,
1375. (3) John, 1403. (4) Geoffrey Gosselyn, 1407. (5) Robert
Chamberleyn, 15 Ed. IV. (6) John, 1490. (7) George Good-
harste, 1511. The dates are those of the documents in which
their names appear.
Priory of Horkesley in Essex.
Of the thirty-seven charters belonging to this priory of St.
Peter and St. Paul four have been printed in the Monasticon,
vol. v. pp. 156, 157, including the foundation charier of Robert,
son of Godbold, and Beatrix his wife, upon the removal of the
priory from the jurisdiction of the abbey of Thetford. The family
of Constable of Withermarsh (Hwinemers) was a considerable
benefactor. Among these documents is the will of William Con-
stable, temp. Ken. Ill, as also an account of various grants and
services from the manor of Stoke Neylond.
Priory of the Holy Trinity, Wallingford.
Of the charters of this priory 162 have been preserved, three
of which are printed in the Monasticon, vol. iii. p. 280. Nasmyth
in his edition of Tanner omits all reference to them. They chiefly
relate to grants of lands in Wallingford and the villages around
it, extending from the reign of King Henry I to that of Henry
VIII. Historians differ as to the founder of this priory (which
was a cell to the abbey of St. Alban's). Newcome and Clutterbuck
ascribe it to Robert d'Oyley, in opposition to Matthew Paris, who
affirms that it was founded in the time of abbot Paul (1077
1093) by Geoffrey the chamberlain. In the following charter
of King Henry I a connexion is shown between the priory and
this Geoffrey :
' Henricus rex Angliae Hugoni de Bochelanda Salutem. Precipio
tibi ut facias haberi juste monachis ecclesie S. Trinitatis de Warenge-
fort decimain eorum de Mullforda et de terra Henrici Larderarii, ita
bene et honore sicut umquam melius habuerunt et tenuemnt tempore
Regis Willielmis fratris mei, et sicut in die qua Goiffridus camerarius
dissaisitus fuit de terra ilia et sicut .... prae-[c]epi per aliud breve
meum ita ne inde quicquam perdaut pro penuria recti nee amplius
inde .... audiam. Teste Ranulpho Cancellario apud Norhamtoniam.'
The importance and antiquity of Wallingford in former times
appears from the various references to its castle, walls, and gates,
as also to its college and hospital. A very full list of its early
mayors and officials might be compiled from the witnesses to the
various charters.
viii PREFACE.
Priory of St. Mary Magdalen, Tunbridge.
To this priory belongs an extensive collection of charters and
rolls dating- from the 1 2th century onwards. The proceedings
relating to the order of St. Augustine within the diocese of
Canterbury between ann. 1311-1362 have been most carefully
enrolled among the evidences of this house, and are interspersed
throughout with other documents bearing upon the history of the
period over which they extend. Among the events here illustrated
are the rising of Humphrey de Bohun, earl of Hereford and Essex ;
the opposition to the king's mandate for seizing the estates of
Hugh d'Audele ; the decree of Robert of Winchelsea, archbishop
of Canterbury, for providing ornaments for churches by parish-
ioners and rectors; the complete destruction of the priory of
Tunbridge by fire on the nth July 1327, and the appropriation
of the church of Legh to assist the monks in rebuilding it ; the
plague raging in 1348; the siege of the castle of Ledes, Kent,
causing damage to the priory there, with the appropriation of
the church of Letherhed for its repairs. There is also a letter of
Thomas, earl of Lancaster, to the citizens of London ; a letter of
King Edward III to the bishop of Rochester for the prayers of
the church in his war against France ; documents concerning
Papal provisions ; the executorship accounts of Hugh d'Audele ;
indulgences ; records of councils of the clergy, and of the granting
of clerical subsidies ; petitions ; royal and other letters, &c.
The following interesting inventories of the goods belonging
to the churches of Yalding, Brenchley, and Tudeley, taken in the
year 1331, and of Legh taken 1377, are early examples of church
property :

Among the documents, calendared as belonging to Oseney

Priory of Tickford, Sucks.
Sixteen documents have been preserved. The matters of most
interest in these are the dispute concerning the annexation of
the chapel of Yerdley to the mother church of Aston near Bir-
mingham; and the suit between the vicar of Stoke and the
parishioners of Willen for the providing of ornaments for the
altar of Willen church.
The Abbey of St. Mary, Oseney.
Whether for local interest, extent or value, by far the most
important series of these records concern this foundation.
They present at once an extensive collection of charters, manor,
court and rent-rolls, domestic and stewards' accounts, embracing
the period from its foundation to its suppression and ultimate dis-
solution. This abbey, founded in the year 1 129 for canons regular
of the order of St. Augustine, was chosen by King Henry VIII for
the seat of his newly-founded bishopric of Oxford. The revenues,
site and muniments, together with the see itself, were afterwards
transferred to Christ Church. Its muniments had been codified in
three chartularies preserved in the Cottonian Library, the Record
Office, and in the Chapter House of Christ Church. The first or
earlier chartulary, containing principally the evidences belonging
to the City of Oxford, suffered much in the unfortunate fire of the
Cotton MSS. in 1731. The Christ Church chartulary contains
the evidences of the properties outside of Oxford, while that in
the Record Office is only a translation or abstract of some few
documents in a hand of the time of Henry VI. The lands held by
the abbey lay principally in the counties of Oxford, Berks, Bucks,
Gloucester and Stafford. It also held two churches and some
manors in Ireland of the gift of Roger de Worcester.
The rolls of accounts annually presented to the chapter at
Michaelmas, and entered upon the seneschal's roll, comprise dis-
bursements of the following officials, viz. the keeper of the
infirmary, the keeper of the flocks, the manciple, the cook, the
bursar, the sacristan, the tanner, the almoner, and the keeper of
the castle mills. Several rolls of these accounts are of special
import and interest, since they enable us to form a good con-
ception of the life and condition of the abbey in relation to its
internal economy.
XI 1
PREFACE.
Only one grant made by the founder of Oseney is here met
with, viz. the grant of Stanhall, a member of his manor of
Shenston, to Hugh de Tiwia. Of this manor of Shenston the
deeds (twenty-three in number) commence early in the I2th cen-
tury. Its church was one of those mentioned in the foundation
charter of Robert d'Oyly, who at that time owned the whole of
the manor ; and he subsequently confirmed the grant of Stanhall
to the abbey made by Hugh de Tiwia. The other charters con-
cern the families of Grendon and Bray, and add many important
particulars to the history of those families.
Some curious examples of the state of England during the 1 2th
and 13th centuries are found in the sale of serfs independently,
not, as was usually the case, as appurtenants to manor or lands.
Sibilla de Saucer sells to the canons of Oseney her man Gilbert,
son of Godpin, for 20*. [Oseney i.]
Henry d'Oyly grants to Hugh the abbot and the canons his
man Odulph with his issue and chattels, for which he received
4^. and a horse. [Oseney 3.]
Richard the vicar of Great Barton, grants William the weaver,
and Isabella his daughter, with his issue and chattels for ever, to
the same canons. [Oseney 288.]
Two examples of episcopal indulgences are preserved, viz. one
from Walerand, Bishop of Beyrout, in 1 245 5 for alms for the Holy
Land ; the other for offerings to be made at the church of St.
George within the castle, by David Archbishop of Cashel (1275).
The retention by the abbot of Oseney of the muniments, cups
and ornaments of the Knights Templars, was the occasion of a
writ from King Edward III commanding him to deliver them
to the Knights Hospitallers, in which it is said that they had
been before demanded of them,
The abbot of this monastery received a writ of summons to
attend parliament until the twelfth year of King Edward II,
from which date he ceased his attendance. By a writ of 15 King
Edward III, dated 20 October, a release is given him, it being
assigned as a reason that he held his lands in frankalmoigne of
the gift of Robert d'Oyly his founder, and not by barony.
, The rent rolls of the city of Oxford, although much mutilated,
present a complete history of the houses and properties of the
abbey from the end of the I3th to the i6th centuries.
Among the regal documents of Oseney, and those bequeathed
to the Library by the Rev. R. Furney, will be found various
confirmations of Magna Carta and the Carta de Foresta by King
Henry III and King Edward I; of which there are seven examples
of the highest interest and value.
i. A document bearing the following indorsement, ' Magna
Carta Caps, xiiij. de Laic, te* and in a later hand, ' Carta H. reg'
de libertatibus magne carte H. reg. avi. nostri. Registratur. Dupli-
cala,' and having, affixed by parchment labels, the seals of Gualo
PREFACE. xiii
the leg-ate, and William Marescall, earl of Pembroke, the former
in white wax, and the latter in green, was bequeathed to the
University by the Rev. E. Furney, M.A., archdeacon of Surrey. It
is the charter issued in 1217, probably on the 6th of November,
together with the charter of the Forest. It is printed by
Sir William Blackstone in his history of the charter, Oxf. 1759,
p. 37, who describes it as 'an invaluable piece of antiquity/
and supposes it to have belonged to the abbey of St. Peter,
Gloucester. He notices a blank occurring in the last line
of this document which he says * seems to have arisen from
the uncertainty of the secretary how to entitle this instrument ;
and this may give some countenance to the supposition that the
Oxford original was the very first draught of the charter in
September which was afterwards more fully attested and dated
in November following.' The copy examined by him with the
Oxford original was a transcript in the Lib. Custumarum, Lond.,
and various readings are noted ; the word ( duplicata ' indorsed
would show that it was not a single instrument, but this word
was printed W. . . at by Blackstone, or probably he would not
have been led into the error. Suffice it to say that no other
original was known or examined by him. [Glouc. 8.]
2. A Charter bearing the following indorsement : 'Magna Carta
Reg Henr 9 [3]. fy libertate totius Regni. duplicata? and in a modern
hand ' Oseneia 14. 62.' Appended to this is the seal of Gualo the
legate, much more perfect than the one to the foregoing charter
noticed. Its indorsement shows that it was formerly in the pos-
session of Oseney Abbey, and it came to the Library with the
Wood collection. This also is the charter of 1217, but its read-
ings present some slight differences, and no blank is found. Its
concluding clause runs thus : ' Quia vero sigillum nondum ha-
buimus presentem cartam sigillo venerabilis patris nostri domini
Gual' titulo Sancti Martini presbiteri cardinalis et apostolice sedis
legati et Willielmi Marescalli com Penbr' rectoris nostri et Regni
nostri fecimus Sigillari. Testibus prenominatis et aliis multis.'
[Oseney 142*.]
3. A Charter with the following indorsement : * Magna Cart 1
Rg. H. iij. de libertf totius regni. duplicata? and in a modern hand,
' Oseneia 13. 61,' having the seal of the Marshal appended in
green wax. This is an original copy of the charter of 2 Hen. Ill
last named, and preserved among the Wood charters. It agrees
exactly with No. 2.
4. Charter with the following indorsement : ' Carta Regia de
diversis libertatibus totius Anglie magnatibus sis. Hen r . iiij?
and in a modern hand, 'K. H. 3. confirmacon of magna charta?
&c. ii Feb. 9. Hen. 3. 63.' The seal has been torn away. This
is the charter of Feb. n, 1225. The search made by Sir William
Blackstone for original copies of this confirmation resulted in the
discovery of two only, one in the hands of John Talbot, Esq.,
xiv PREFACE.
of Lacock, the other belonging to the Dean and Chapter of
Durham. Blackstone described these documents as of inestimable
value, and in consequence of the accident of overturning a
bottle of ink, by which the Durham one was defaced, considered
the one in the possession of John Talbot, Esq., was a singular
curiosity. The copy in this collection is perfect, excepting the loss
of the great seal. It presents some slight clerical differences from
the copy printed by Blackstone, and his collation of the Durham
copy. It is conjectured that this charter was preserved among
the muniments of Oseney Abbey, from the number ' 63 ' indorsed
upon it, the two previous charters having 61 and 62 upon them.
(Lond. i.)
5. A Charter with this indorsement : ' Confirmatio Reg' de
libertatibus AngV Caps, xiiij. de laicis tenuris. Hegistraturj
being a confirmation, dated at Westminster 28th January, 21 of
Hen. Ill, A.D. 1237, to which is appended the great seal. It is
printed by Blackstone from this copy at pp. 68, 69, no other
original being known to him. This is also one of the charters
bequeathed by Archdeacon Furney. [Glouc. 10.]
6. A Charter indorsed : * Conjirmat* Regis E.primi super magnam
cartam de libert' fforeste. Oseneia 4. 64.' This is an inspeximus
charter of King Edward I, dated at Westminster 28 March in the
28th year of his reign, A.D. 1300, and formerly belonged to Oseney ;
it came to the library in Wood's collection. [Oseney 143 *.]
7. A Charter indorsed : ; Confirmacio E. Reg. de libertatibus
Anglie et foresle. Registratur.'
Attached to this charter is the great seal in white wax. It is
dated 14 February, 29 Ed. I, A.D. 1301, and printed by Black-
stone, pp. 85, 86. This also came to the Library by the bequest
of Archdeacon Furney. [Glouc. 26.]
The documents bequeathed to the Library among the manu-
scripts of Bishop Tanner were most unfortunately immersed during
their transit from Norwich to Oxford in 1731. This accident is
referred to in the preface of the Notitia, ed. 1787, as follows :
' The author's collections also bound up in volumes marked
WiUougJiby, Jackson, Appleton, Bristol, &c., and frequently referred to
in the following book, suffered in the unfortunate fall of his books into
the water, and were thereby some of them unbound, and perhaps may
not yet be put together again.'
Their present condition shows too plainly the effect of this
immersion. By great care, however, they have been restored, and
present a most valuable series of documents relating to the coun-
ties of Norfolk and Suffolk, and to its abbeys and priories. The
Bishop's acquisition of these charters, and his fear of losing them,
is shown by the following extract from one of his letters to Browne
Willis dated Norwich, 17 Aug., 1724:
PREFACE. xv
I was last week abroad upon an expedition into Suffolk in quest
after some Books and papers w ch I have bid a great sum of money for
and hope they will not be snap'd out of my hand, and tho' they may
come pretty dear, yet I have more set my mind upon the getting of
them than the best Bpk. or Deanery. I have not set a step after any
of those things, but shall many a one after these.'
The ecclesiastical documents comprise the deeds of appro-
priations, either separate or inrolled, of between thirty and forty
churches of the diocese of Norwich, as well as the foundation
charters of several chantries within the same diocese.
The roll of Mayors and Bailiffs of Norwich from 26 Hen. VI
to 1 1 James I, contains, entered under the several years, notes of
remarkable occurrences which happened in that city. A few of
these notes have been printed at pp. 234-5.
Of the priory of the Holy Trinity, Norwich, this collection
contains many evidences, including- manor court rolls of Eaton
from 1283 to 1520, and accounts of the keepers of the refectory,
cellarer and precentor.
The evidences of the Abbey of St. Bennet of Hulme, prin-
cipally of the 1 2th century, include a most beautiful example of
a chirograph executed or penned between the years 1133-1140 ;
and accounts of the cellarer, chamberlain, pietancier, precentor,
and sacrist, as well as to rolls of evidences concerning the appro-
priation of the various churches possessed by that abbey.
Of the possessions of the Abbey of St. John, Colchester, in the
county of Suffolk, the evidences are numerous. Beginning with
a charter of King Stephen, they chiefly relate to the manor of
Wickham Skeyth, held by the abbey until its dissolution. The
series belonging to the villages of Askeby, Somerleyton, and the
two Waldingfields in Suffolk, is most complete, and will illus-
trate the history of those places from the I3th to the i7th
centuries.
The collections of Gough and Rawlinson comprise also those of
Martin and Thoresby, which had been acquired by Gough by pur-
chase. Thoresby's charters relate principally to Yorkshire. A de-
scription of some of the more curious of them will be found in his
Ducatus Leodiensis, and but few are now missing from his col-
lection. They contain some early charters of Kirkstall, Nostell,
and Gisborne [Guisborough] monasteries. Of the rolls, the original
subsidies for Skirack wapentake, York, of 37 Hen. VIII and
7 James I, as also the Bede-roll of Abbot Norreis, of Lilleshull, are
valuable and in a good state of preservation. The documents of
honest Tom Martin, of Palgrave, were acquired by Gough; in
which are some few charters and papers relating to the Paston
family. These have been used by Mr. Gairdner in his new
edition of the Paston papers. Also a very fine collection of
muniments belonging to the town and abbey of Bury St. Ed-
mund's, from early in the I2th to the i6th centuries. In
xvi PREFACE.
addition to the above collections, there are many single docu-
ments which deserve notice.
The roll for the county of Huntingdon contains the returns of
the Juries under the commission dated the 1 2th of March, 7 Edw. I,
for part of the hundreds of Leightonstone and Norman cross.
In the Rotuli Hundredomm, vol. ii. p. 591, the heading to these
returns will be found which, in the present roll, has unfortunately
been torn away. In Leigh tonstone hundred the villages men-
tioned are, Wodeweston, Keston, Spaldewyk, Eston, Upthorp,
Stowe, Little Catteworth, Berwam Leighton, Kenebolton Stoule,
Stowe, Wormedich, Akirman, Lwyneshed, Covington Graffham,
Great Catteworthe, Great Gidding, Wolle, Wynewyk, Thirningg'
Gidding and Elyngton. Of these the returns printed by the
Commissioners, with some few minute omissions and alterations
in arrangement, are duplicates of those entered on the roll. The
hundred of Norman cross at the foot of the seventh membrane
and the returns are wholly unlike those printed by the Com-
missioners, and contain much additional matter as to the value
and tenures of manors, but omit the minute details concerning
the Villani and Cottarii. It commences with ' Botilbruge q est
hamelett' de Overton Lungevile,' which, as well as the village of
Overton Lungevile, is omitted in the roll printed by the Com-
missioners. That record is stated to be much defaced, and the
returns for Folkesworthe (p. 633) illegible. The return for that
parish in this roll is as follows :

Commissioners is very marked, as is shown by the following

The roll contains the returns for the following places in
Normancross hundred : Botilbruge, Overton Lunge vile, Over-
ton Waterwyle, Alewolton, Flectone, Cestretone, Aplyngtone,

Of some historical importance are two wardrobe account orders,
under the hand of Queen Mary, to Sir Edward Waldegrave, Kt.,
the one dated at Hampton Court 10 April, I and 2, the other
from Greenwich i Oct., 2 and 3 of her reign. In these accounts
are met with two historic personages attached to the Queen's
person as fools. The one, Will Somers, who was the great
favourite of her father; the other, Jane the fool, being the
only person on record, according to Sir F. Madden, who, as a
female, was maintained on the same footing as the Court jesters.
In The Privy Purse Expenses of Princess Mary before she was Queen
many entries occur of payments for apparel and attendances for
Jane the fool, commencing as early as December 1537. And it
is somewhat remarkable that both she herself and Will Somers
should have been retained for so many years at Court. The fol-
lowing articles of dress for them are mentioned in the account,
10 Apl. 1555 :
* Item for furring of a gowne (for William Somner o r foole) w* gray
Jennetts tayles w* a peire of and a caape of Jennetts Tailes
to the same gowne, And fourtie white Lambeskynnes. Item for
furring of a gowne of grene figured vellat (for hym) w* sixteene white
hare skynues and fourtie and sixe white Lambe skennes. Item for
furring of a Jerkin (for hym) of the same vellat w 4 some white hare
skennes and twentie white lambe skynnes. Item for furring of a
gowne of the same vellat w 4 six white hare skynnes for Jane o r foole.
Item for thirtene dossen and a haulf of round silke buttons of sundrye
collours (for the saide William Somner), Two lowpe buttons of silke,
PREFACE. xix
two dossen of buttons of grene silke and silver, five ounces of black
sticking silke, sixe peire of Lemon hoosen, Two peire of knitt hoosen,
Twelve shirts of Holland cloth and twelve hanclkerchevers of holland
cloth. Item for eight peire of blake knitt hoosen (for the said Jane),
seventeen ounces and a haulf of Frenge of divers collors of fine
Spanishe silke for the Frenging of a gowne and a cappe of divers
collers, one peece of green poyntyng Rebande for a gowne of grene and
striped w l gold, and for making of two cappes, the oone w* frenge the
other w* Armions for the trymmyng of the same capp. Item for thre
yerds of red cloth to make hym a coate and two yerds of vellat to
garde the same, for lining, making and embraidering of o r Lres. Item
for twelve peire of shewes for the said Jane.'
In the account I Oct., 1555, the following are enumerated:
' Item for making of a loose gowne of grene vellat for Jane o r foole
tyncelled w* golde of o r store, lined w* blake cotton, the fore sieves
lined with fustian, the upper sieves lined w* frise and bagges and staye
for the same. Item for making of a Douche, Gowne of Fustian ....
edged wt frenge, the plates lined w* buckeram and cotton, the bodyes
and sieves lined with fustian, the upper sieves lined w* frise, the collo 1 '
lined with stiff buckeram. Item for making of a kertle (for her) of
striped unwatered Chamblet w* bodyes, the nether parte lined with
blake cotton and the bodyes and placard e lined w* Lennen cloth.
Item for twelve peire of Showes for the said Jane. Item for making
of two grene coates for the said Willm Somner, the one garded w*
vellat, thother playne lyned w* cotton.'
The last notice found of Will Somers by Dr. Doran in his
book of Court fools, was in the reign of Edward VI ; but among
the female fools all mention of Jane is omitted.
Another document of some historic moment is a general
pardon under the sign manual of King Henry VII to Thomas
Barker of Stenemor, dated 27 Nov., 2ist year of his reign, 'for
being against the king in his person at Bosworth felde, and should
wage and send oon William Marchall to Newerk felde, wtherel of
Lincoln and Lord Lovell against us, and also sithen to Perky n
Warbek beyond the sea.'
The discovery made by Mr. R. B. Knowles in the MS. accounts
of the executors of Robert Nowell (IV Report Hist. MSS.
Com.), that Edmund Spenser the poet was educated at Mer-
chant Taylors' School, and the subsequent searches and en-
quiries which he made among the records of that foundation
and company, elucidated the fact that three Spensers were found
mentioned, viz. Robert Spenser, gentleman, of Lincoln's Inn,
Nicholas Spenser, and John Spenser, who may have been ances-
tors or relations of the poet. These facts will perhaps give
additional interest to some few deeds relating to Somersetshire,
which probably belonged to the Carte papers of the Huntingdon
family. One of them, dated 20 Nov. 1572 (15 Eliz ), is a
receipt for 250^. from Henry Earl of Huntingdon, for half
b 2
xx PREFACE.
a year's annuity due to John Spensor, citizen and clotheworker
of London, and Alice his wife (Lond. 20), and another is a fine
and recovery of estates in Cornwall and Somersetshire (Somers.
7 and 8). These deeds may add one more link in the chain of
probabilities of the ancestors of the poet. John Spenser could
not have been the poet's father, whose mother's name was
Elizabeth, not Alice ; but it may be that he was his uncle, or
the relative to whom he owed his nomination to Merchant
Taylors' School, and through whom he was introduced to Arthur,
Lord Grey of Wilton, a very near relation of the Huntingdon
family. Another Spencer of Claredon, Warwick, had also business
transactions with the Earl of Huntingdon. The extent and nature
of the contents of these records would indicate a higher social
position than has lately been ascribed to the parents or friends
of the poet.
The seals attached to many of the charters in the collections
here described are worthy of special attention, some of them
being, so far as is known, unique specimens of their kind. None,
for example, are known to the editors of the Monasticon of either
the priory of Wormegay or Coldnorton. The early specimens
present the usual star, fleur-de-lis, or flower diversified in as
many ways as the graver's fancy could suggest.
In making the present calendar, much assistance has been
derived from the chartularies of the priory of St. Frideswide,
and the abbey of St. Mary, Oseney, the use of which was most
kindly permitted by the Dean and the Canons of Christ Church,
Oxford.
