PREFACE.

HEN a city has the good fortune to be presented with such a deeply
interesting collection of local records, as those forming The Jackson
Collection; the obligation rests with the citizens to arrange it, so
as to give those who wish to consult the records, the greatest possible facilities
for doing so ; and it is with this object that we have compiled this descriptive
catalogue. Our aim has been to describe more particularly those ancient
documents in mediaeval Latin, French, and English, which present difficulties
to many persons interested in local history, while giving a general indication
of the contents of the modern and more easily read documents, but readers
should note that a great mass of valuable material was transcribed by Joseph
Hunter and William Swift, as described at pages 276-288 and pages 305-320,
and that these antiquaries enjoyed exceptional facilities for gaining local infor-
mation. Accordingly this portion of the collection is as valuable, from the
student's point of view, as the original deeds and manuscripts.

In describing ancient deeds we have endeavoured to supply a simple
explanation of each, employing as far as possible the terms used in the deed
itself. Thus the common form of early grant, beginning with the words
' dedi concessi et hac mea carta confirmavi " has been construed as meaning
that the transfer of land was already complete and that the charter was a
confirmation of the grant.

In certain cases it has been thought advisable to give a few words of
the original text in brackets, sometimes because the words themselves are
curious or unusual ; sometimes in order that the reader may find a better
rendering than our own ; but in all cases our rule has been to quote the words
as they stand without any change of tense or case. In the same way we
have represented, as faithfully as might be, the actual spelling of names and
places, even when, as so frequently happens in ancient records, they appear
in divers forms in the same document, or when, as is not unusual, the original
scribe may be suspected of error.

It is obvious that in a collection of such wide scope, we could not hope
to discuss the manifold topics of interest. Our purpose is served if we
have succeeded in showing that within its bounds there is a wide field for
many forms of study, and that the antiquary, genealogist, topographer, historian
and, not least, the philologist will be amply repaid by making a first-hand
acquaintance with The Jackson Collection.

We gladly take this opportunity of expressing our thanks to Dr. Henry
Jackson, O.M., Regius Professor of Greek and Fellow of Trinity College, in
the University of Cambridge, for his great kindness in writing a Prefatory
Note to the Catalogue, which gives an added interest to The Jackson
Collection; our thanks are also due to Councillor S. Gardner Harrison, who
has undertaken the work of sorting and arranging a mass of newspaper cuttmgs,
of great local interest, forming part of the collection ; also to the Chief Librarian
and his staiif for the many facilities they have provided for us at the Reference
Library, whilst our work was in progress; and to our printer we are indebted
for much assistance.

In conclusion, we wish to express the hope that other local records may
find their way to The Sheffield Room, at the Public Reference Library.
In these days, when ancient monuments are protected by Act of Parliament,
the least we can do is to see that our ancient records are also placed in safe
custody, where they will always be available for those who can make the
best use of them. This seems to us a very obvious duty, which the present
owes to the future, and in no way can our citizens better discharge this
obligation with regard to ancient records relating to Sheffield, than by following
the example of Sheffield's distinguished son, the late Mr. Arthur Jackson.

PREFATORY NOTE.

Mr. T. Walter Hall and Mr. A. Hermann Thomas — by whom this
catalogue of manuscripts contained in " the Jackson Collection " has
been compiled — invite me to write a prefatory note about those who
gathered together the several parts of the Collection : and regard for
them, gratitude to Mr. Hall and Mr. Thomas, and loyalty to the City
of Sheffield, constrain me to undertake the pious task.

The Collection has for its nucleus books and papers accumulated
in the course of ninety-five years by three generations of Jacksons :
but its most important constituents are certain memoranda of the
late Joseph Hunter which my brother Arthur bought at the Phillipps
sale, and, above all, the very important papers which he purchased
from the representatives of the late William Swift.

My grandfather, Henry Jackson, sen., surgeon, of Sheffield, was
born at Wentbridge, near Pontefract, 22nd May, 1771, and received his
early education at Hatfield near Doncaster. Having been appren-
ticed or articled to Mr. William Lunn, surgeon, of Sheffield, he
continued his medical studies at St. Thomas's Hospital, where he
made several important friendships. Thence, in 1793, he proceeded
to Edinburgh, where he spent a year. On his return to Sheffield,
he established himself in Fargate : but in 1800 he removed to a
house in St. James's Row previously occupied by Mr. Brookfield,
solicitor. As I shall have to mention this house more than once, it
is worth while to note that in 1787 the Vicar of Sheffield gave a
ground lease of part of the glebe, upon which a row of three houses
was built, stretching from Church Street to St. James's Street, and
separated from the west side of St. Peter's Churchyard by a narrow
paved walk. These three houses, together with the houses which
occupied the frontage between St. James's Street and Campo Lane,
were called St. James's Row. On 1st January, 1801, my grandfather
married Olivia, daughter of Benjamin Sayle of Wentbridge.

My grandfather appears to have been a skilful and respected
general practitioner. Letters in my possession show that Mr. Lunn
had an affectionate regard for him, and, when he returned from
London and Edinburgh, was glad to have his help. I gather
further that my grandfather, though perhaps somewhat masterful,
was sociable, genial, and attractive : and a portrait, which is no
doubt one of the many pastels drawn by Chantrey in the first
decade of the nineteenth century, shows that he was an uncommonly
handsome man. There is no indication that he concerned himself

Vlll

with antiquarian pursuits, but it is clear that he Hked nice books and
good china : and his two " orange jumper " jugs — of which one is
now in the Fitzwilliam Museum at Cambridge — suggest that he was
interested, not only in the famous Don pottery, but also in the
politics of the time. It would seem that, though not an antiquary,
Henry Jackson, sen., began the family collection.

Henry and Olivia Jackson had several children : but only two
survived infancy — Olivia, who was born 27th December, 1801, and
died 17th September, 1870 ; and Henry, who was bom 29th
November, 1806, and died 25th June, 1866.

My father, Henry Jackson, jun., surgeon, of Sheffield, received
his general education at the Rev. Peter Wright's school in Sheffield,
and, later, at Bingley Grammar School, of which Richard Hartley,
D.D., of Christ's College, Cambridge — "an excellent classic, a hard-
reading man, and of irreproachable character" (Gunning's Reminis-
cences of Cambridge) — was then head master. The second Henry's
medical education began with apprenticeship to his father. In 1828
he proceeded to Dublin that he might study anatomy under James
Macartney, and surgery under James W. Cusack. As appears from
his letters to my grandfather, my father made excellent use of the
great opportunities which the hospitals of Dublin afforded ; while
occasional references to " sack-em-ups " remind the modern reader
that in those days the study of anatomy had a peculiarly grisly side.
In 1830 my father left Dublin for London, where he attached himself
to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. In the same year he obtained
his diplomas at the College of Surgeons and the Apothecaries' Hall.
The letters in which he describes the two examinations are detailed,
and, if a layman may have an opinion, very interesting.^

On his way home, my father visited at Cambridge his old
friends William Henry Brookfield — Tennyson's " Brooks " — and
John Henry Brown, then undergraduates at Trinity College.

Returning to Sheffield, he began practice with my grandfather,
and on 10th September, 1832, was elected to the post of Surgeon to
the Infirmary, which he held till a few days before his death. My
grandfather died 12th November, 1836. On 27th June, 1838, my
father married Frances, daughter of James Swettenham.

This is not the place for an estimate of my father's capacity
and success as surgeon and medical practitioner. But I may briefly
note certain personal characteristics. He was always observant,
always ready to take responsibility, always quiet. He had a
wonderful gift of sympathy. He was as discreet and reticent as a

Journal for October, November, December, 1904.

father confessor. He was the friend of his patients and the con-
fidant of his colleagues. He called himself a Tory, but progress
was his joy. He kept himself thoroughly posted up in medical
literature, and was eager to avail himself of every new invention
and discovery. At first he had doubts about anaesthetics, but they
very quickly disappeared. When he died, antiseptic and aseptic
methods had not yet established themselves : but I fancy that his
use of a solution of nitrate of silver for scalds, burns, and bedsores,
saved my life when in childhood I charged into a large saucepan
of boiling water. Once, and once only, I went round the Infirmary
with him ; and, to my great surprise, I found that, in talking to
his patients there, he dropped without an effort into the grammar
and the vocabulary of old Sheffield. I had long known that he
could read Tom Treddlehoyle " as no one else of my acquaintance
could do : but it had not occurred to me that he would use the
second person singular as easily as if he had never known the
conventional you" and your" of modern English. The Infirm-
ary occupied much of his thoughts. I have waited for him there
for hours when he had miscalculated the time which his work would
require. He was devoted to his profession : and he was sorry when
his brother-in-law, Wilson Overend, a brilliant surgeon, gave him-
self to municipal affairs. Nevertheless, he knew that a professional
man should have a hobby or hobbies. He read widely in English
literature ; in particular, history, biography, and good fiction, were
favourite subjects. He had an astonishing knack of discovering
important books the moment that they appeared : for example, he
knew Thackeray's Second Funeral of Napoleon, Oliver Wendell
Holmes's Autocrat of the Breakfast Table, and J. F. McLennan's
Primitive Marriage, before they were famous. He was a constant
reader of Notes and Queries, and sent to it occasional contributions
signed " H.J."^

Meanwhile, he was keenly interested in local antiquities. An
accomplished horseman, he had gained in his youth, and always
retained, a curiously exact knowledge of the topography of the
district. He collected books printed at Sheffield. He noted
additions to Hunter's Hallamshire in an interleaved copy. But
it was not for him to do more than collect : he made no serious
attempt to record his antiquarian knowledge.

The house in which my father was born, lived, and died,
continued to be occupied by my brother Arthur and my mother
until 1878, when the prospect of street improvements caused them

but I think that I was not alone in using this signature.

to remove to a house in Wilkinson Street, now numbered 53. In 1883
the old house in St. Jarnes's Row was pulled down, and the narrow
paved walk was widened into a street.

My brother, Arthur Jackson, surgeon, of Sheffield, born 21st
February, 1844, was educated at the Sheffield Collegiate School and
at Cheltenham College. Leaving school at the age of sixteen, he
became pupil to my father at the Infirmary and at home. In 1864
he proceeded to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where he was Surgical
Dresser and House Surgeon. Amongst his intimates were Mr.
Bowater Vernon, Mr. John Langton, Mr. Butlin (afterwards Sir
Henry Butlin), Mr. William Crowfoot, and Mr. George Wilkes.
When my father died, 25th June, 1866, my brother had just got
his surgical qualification : and he at once began practice in
Sheffield ; first, as partner of an old family friend, Mr. Jonathan
Barber, afterwards, independently. At the Hospital, and later at
the Infirmary, he won a reputation as a skilful operator. In
his private practice he was a wise and resourceful adviser. For
myself, having had in ray time grave anxieties, I thankfully
remember the help and the comfort which again and again he
brought to me. He married, 8th August, 1878, Alice, daughter of our
old and kind friend, Bernard Wake, of Abbeyfield. He died, after
a short illness, 29th December, 1895.

In more ways than one my brother differed from my father.
My father was reticent, my brother was outspoken. My father was
cautious, my brother was impetuous. While my father avoided muni-
cipal activity, thinking that it would interfere with his professional
duties, my brother, who had more leisure, took a prominent part in the
affairs of the City. It had been my earnest hope that he would one day
sit in the House of Commons for one of the divisions of Sheffield.
In imperial politics he was a convinced Tory, but he would never have
been a slavish partisan. My belief had been that he would take for
his speciality sanitary reform, and that his honesty, fearlessness, and
knowledge, would make him a power in that branch of legislation.
It was however one of his ambitions, perhaps his principal ambition,
to write about "our fathers that begat us^" and about the institutions
and the history of the City which he loved : and I think that, in his
additions to the collection which he inherited, he had this end always
in view. There never was a more loyal son of Sheffield.

Amongst our occasional visitors in St. James's Row, one of the
most distinguished was Joseph Hunter, "the Historian of Hallam-
shire." Born 6th of February, 1783, at Sheffield, he was Presbyterian
Minister at Bath from 1809 to 1833. From 1833 to 1838 he was
Sub- Commissioner of Public Records. In 1838, on the reconstruction

of the Record Service, he was made Assistant Keeper of the First
Class. He died in London, 9th May, 1861. These bald facts I derive
from the Dictionary of National Biography. It would be impertinent
in me to praise Hunter's achievements in history, biography, gene-
alogy, topography. But I have a certain familiarity with the
History of Hallamshire," and I never refer to it without gratefully
admiring his wide knowledge, his exact scholarship, his transparent
candour, and his unaffected, vigorous, discourse.

On 22nd March, 1895, certain of Hunter's papers, which had
become the property of Sir Thomas Phillipps, were sold by Messrs.
Sotheby, Wilkinson & Hodge. The most important of them were
bought by the Sheffield Free Library : but my brother commissioned
the Librarian, Mr. Samuel Smith, to buy for him certain other lots
which the Library did not at that time care to acquire. One of these
purchases, and one only, is not included in our gift to the City.
There were three volumes described as "The Thoughts of Joseph
Hunter." When my brother died, his executors gave these volumes
to Hunter's son, Henry Julian Hunter, M.D., who, in his earlier days,
had been a frequent visitor at the house in St. James's Row, and
sympathized with my father and my brother both in their medical and
in their antiquarian interests. The jottings of "The Thoughts" were
intimate, and we should not have thought ourselves justified in making
them public property.

Mr. William Swift, our next door neighbour in St. James's Row,
was another of my father's antiquarian allies. Born 13th December,
1818, near Chesterfield, Swift began life as clerk in the office of a
Chesterfield lawyer ; but at the age of eighteen entered the service of
the late Mr. John Brown, solicitor, of St. James's Row. Mr. Brown,
who was not only a solicitor but also distributor of stamps, put the
distribution into Swift's hands. Major Richard Fawkes, who
succeeded Mr. Brown as distributor of stamps, retained Swift as
his representative; and, when Swift died, 10th December, 1874,
testified his ' esteem for long and self-sacrificing service in the stamp
office of this Town " by a tablet placed in the Parish Church.

I have little of my own to say about the shy, modest, simple-
minded scholar, whose premises I sometimes invaded in pursuit of an
errant cricket ball. Happily, Mr. R. E. Leader, in his Reminiscences
of Old Sheffield, transcribes from the Independent an eloquent and
affectionate appreciation, and I hope that he will forgive me for
reproducing the greater part of it.

" ' It was not his social position that gave our late friend a name and a

place in the annals of Sheffield ; nor was it even the kindly good nature

with which he answered all inquiries ; nor the humble simplicity and

piety of his private life ; but his marvellous industry and care as a
genealogical and topographical collector. A career less eventful than
his could scarcely be imagined. He lived in a house adjoining his oflSce,
and when business was over he much too rarely went out for fresh air
and exercise. Far into the night he would pore over manuscripts, some-
times copying old parish registers, sometimes making abstracts or copies
of documents that had been lent to him, or entering up his volumes of
pedigrees. His mind was ever intent on the acquisition of genealogical
facts, and whether they came under his notice in written papers, or in
conversation, he carefully noted them, and systematically stored them
away in the volumes to which they belonged. The desire to be accurate
was with him a passion. He could not endure a false date, and smiled
when he observed the vanity that, in pedigrees, could not call a spade a
spade, but turned a cutler, a grinder, or something humbler, into a
gentleman. During the thirty-eight years he lived in Sheffield he
had been carefully accumulating fact upon fact, and there is probably not
a family in the town, save the most recent importations, of whom he
had not a more or less complete account. He was the Old Mortality of
Shefi&eld, and carefully copied the gravestones in the church and chapel
yards. The parish registers were more familiar to him than to the parish
clerk. He knew the genealogical value of wills and deeds, and had made
himself master of those old handwritings under which our forefathers have
shrouded so much valuable information. Not having enjoyed the advan-
tage of a classical education, he yet so far mastered the difficulties of Latin
and Norman French as to be able to translate intelligibly such mediaeval
documents as were couched in those languages ; and of late years, so vast
was the fund of information which he possessed, that he was able at once
to appreciate the value of new facts that might come under his notice, and
to see meanings in entries and items that to an ordinary observer appeared
to have no special significance. For years past he has been the oracle to
which all inquirers into Sheffield history resorted. The antiquarian student
perpetually made use of his kindly advice and counsel ; the lawyers flocked
to him regularly when any question arose affecting family history ; and to
one and all he was alike ready to tell what he knew, and in return to accept
any crumbs of information his visitors might be able to impart. In this
way his store of facts grew. Persons who had learned the value of his
information were glad to be able to offer him some return in kind, when
anything came under their notice. His fame as a collector of information
spread, and from far and near matters found their way into his hands that
would not have been entrusted to one less discreet. He was scrupulous in
preserving and returning everything that was lent to him ; and exercised a
marvellous reticence in dealing with subjects that might have given pain to
families or individuals. He never spoke unkindly, and, though his mind
was the depository of more family secrets than that of any man in Sheffield,
we never heard of an instance where an unfair or unkind use had been
made of what he knew. Like many great collectors of information,
Mr. Swift seemed to lack the aptitude for collating, arranging, and editing
his materials. He shrank from the task of composition, fancying, very
mistakenly, that he could not compose ; and yet we have had in our hands
fragments of his that would have been no discredit to so lucid and interest-
ing a writer as the late Joseph Hunter. Our own columns,' [it is the

Independent from which I am quoting] ' have not unfrequently contained
most valuable scraps from his pen ; but he would more frequently give his
information verbally, and leave others to clothe it in set words. Under
the signature 'St.,' he sometimes contributed to Notes and Queries.
Several papers of his have appeared in the Reliquary, and he has also
enriched the Chesterfield newspapers from the stores of his Derbyshire
lore ; but we never heard of his publishing a book, nor ever knew a man
more capable of doing so. In connexion with the inquiries arising out of
the bequest to the town of the property of the late Samuel Bailey,
Mr. Swift rendered great service ; and the Rev. Dr. Gatty, in his preface
to the new edition of Hunter's Hallamshire, thus acknowledges his
obligations : — ' The services of Mr. William Swift, well known for his
genealogical studies, experience, and accuracy, as well as for his accumu-
lated stores of information relating to the various properties of the neigh-
bourhood, have been especially great throughout the latter part of the
work, and deserve my warmest appreciation. He has extended the
pedigrees with a careful hand, and by an old deed or memorandum has
often contributed what the antiquarian will value.' Among his friends
might be mentioned every name of note in Sheffield ; but it is enough to
say that he was on intimate terms with Joseph Hunter, James Montgomery,
John Holland, Samuel Mitchell, and Henry Jackson ; without particular-
ising those who have lived to feel his loss. When the late Samuel
Mitchell's papers had to be arranged for the British Museum, Mr. Swift
was selected to perform the task, and very ably he discharged it. He had
a pure and simple mind, inexpensive tastes and habits, and if there was a
thing he erred in, it was in taking too little care of his own health.' "^

Mr. R. E. Leader adds an in memoriam written by Dr. Gatty,
and I am tempted to quote it : but already I have quoted too much,
and I content myself with the citation of a single expressive sentence ;
"Mr. Swift was a true and worthy disciple of Hunter." So say I.

Knowing the importance of Swift's papers, my brother purchased
them from the family. I think that he hoped to arrange them him-
self : but, in any case, with him they were in safe custody.

Another element in the Collection is a transcript of the sepulchral
inscriptions in the several graveyards of the City, made at my brother's
cost by Mr. William J. J. Glassby. In 1896, Mr. Glassby published
a book called The Old Church-Yards of Sheffield, with a brief
selection of quaint epitaphs therein, which was based upon this
transcript.

In my brother's will there is a clause which seems to me so
characteristic and so significant that I quote it in full :

' ' I bequeath all the papers which belonged to my late father and all my
private papers and books (including the Swift papers and books) of all kinds
both medical and general (except the books herein before bequeathed to my
said wife) to my said wife and my said brother Henry, but my said wife to
take such of them as she likes to select, and the remainder to be disposed of

iThere can be little doubt that this admirable sketch was written by the late Mt. J. D. Leader.

XIV

as they shall think fit. And I specially urge and request my said wife and
my said brother Henry not to allow the Swift or any other of my private
papers to become public property without most careful supervision for fear of
hurting the feelings of persons or families whose names may be mentioned in
them."
It is easy to see that my brother, whilst he gave his executors
the widest possible discretion, subject only to one wise limitation,
wished his collections to become public property : and my sister-in-
law and I desired to give effect to his wish as soon as arrangements
could be made for their safe-keeping and their accessibility. But
we were not competent ourselves to deal with so great and so
miscellaneous a mass of documents : and, though Mr. J. D. Leader
did us the great kindness of inspecting and sorting the Swift papers,
we did not know of anyone who would undertake the preparation of
a complete inventory. This being so, we deferred the presentation
of the papers which we conceived ourselves to hold in trust for the
City. But in 1912 the appearance of Mr. Walter Hall's Catalogue
of the Charters, Deeds and Manuscripts in the Public Reference
Library at Sheffield changed the situation. It now became clear
that there were those in Sheffield who were interested in its history,
and were prepared to spend time and trouble upon its records.

It was a very real pleasure to my sister-in-law and myself when
the City accepted "the Jackson Collection." It is our hope that the
example of collecting which my brother Arthur has set will find
many imitators, and that, when papers thus gathered together come
into the possession of the City, there will always be loyal and learned
citizens, such as Mr. T. Walter Hall and Mr. A. Hermann Thomas,
to arrange and catalogue them.

ADDENDA.

Since the catalogue was printed, about fifty additional deeds, forming part of
the collection, have come to hand; one is a 13th century charter relating to
lands at Wath and Swinton co York ; others, of much later dates, relate to
Sheffield and North- East Derbyshire. They have been placed together, in a
box labelled " Uncatalogued Deeds," and can be examined at the Public
Reference Library.

The Collection contains fifty-one lantern slides of Old Sheffield.

steward, Thomas de Furneus, Elyas de Midhop, John del Wyteley,

that the charter was engrossed on vellum and had a pendent seal bearing
the arms of Furnivall. Probably Thomas Furnivall the second, who died
before 1279, was the grantor. Thomas de Ferneus appeared also as a
witness of " Furnivall's Charter." There are four mounted prints of this
photograph in the collection.

paid a certain sum of money " in gersuma." Witnesses : John del
Marteleye (?), John his son, Robert de Rous, Richard Moriz, Nicholas de
Langus, Richard Rinellus. Notes : from the photograph it appears that
the charter was engrossed on vellum and had a pendent seal bearing the
arms of Furnivall. Probably Thomas Furnivall the second, who died
before 1279, was the grantor. There are four mounted prints of this
photograph in the collection. The Oxford Dictionary gives gersum and
variants as meaning a premium or fine paid to a feudal superior on entering
upon a holding.

837 13th century. Photograph of a Charter (Lat.) from John le Scrob to

Henry son of William de Wodetorpe, of a toft with buildings thereon, a

the grantee should grind his corn, grown on the said land, at the grantor's
mill of Wodehus, and do as much work in the making of the dam of the
said mill as was charged upon the oxgang. The grantee should also do
one suit of court yearly at the grantor's court of Bramelay, to wit, at the

paid " in gersumma " for the grant. Witnesses : Hugh son of Emma of
Wodehus, William de Mora, William de Darnale, John de Capella, Robert
de Balifeld, William de Hacuntorpe, John de Markam. Notes : from
the photograph it appears that the charter was engrossed on vellum and
had no seal when the photograph was taken.

838 13th century. Photograph of a Charter (Lat.) confirming a grant from

Thomas de Furnivalle son of Thomas de Furnivalle, to Gilbert Smith
(Faber), of an oxgang of land in Bernes formerly in the tenure of Roger son
of Gervase, and of four acres of land in the territory of Chapel (Chapeltown),
abutting at the one end upon Bakeburne and at the other upon the Halleflatts

ing in length from the land of Thomas de Bernes to the land of Roger de
Husel, and six acres of land upon Swethene and in Eduskerre and half an

Elias de Middehope, Thomas de Bernes. Notes : from the photograph
it appears that the charter was engrossed on vellum and had no seal
when the photograph was taken. For probable date see number 841.

900 (178) Late 12th or early 13th century. Charter (Lat.) confirming a grant in
frankalmoign from Adam de Sancta Maria to the church of Saint Mary of
Romaris (Rawmarsh), a tithe of the pasturage of his wood of Romaris,

William prior of the same, brother Roger de Hocton, brother Matthew
and brother Warin canons of the same, master Thomas de Lise (?),
William de Rosington deacon, William de Queren, Richard chaplain of
Rawmaris, Robert de Newark, Adam de Halles, Walter Francis. Notes :
Adam de Sancta Maria was the eldest son of Paganus or Payn de Sancta
Maria who is mentioned in the " Liber Niger " and whose date was circa
1162-5. Probably this charter lay about halfway between that date and
1239-1240 when Adam's daughters Sibill and Isolda were at variance with
William de Lichefelde. As regards entries 900 (175) to 900 (178) a note at
the foot of p. 175 runs : — "These fower deeds I had of Mr. Goodwin, parson
of Rawmarshe, who said he had by vertue thereof taken great tymber &
other wood in the common of Rawmarshe, during all his tyme, for the
Repaire of his house of the Chancell, for fences & for fyer ; 2 tres 30
yeares agoe worth iii 1, 5 tres 12 yeares agoe, and 2 trees 5 yeares ago, he
said that Saint Maries were chief e lords of the whole lor^P: before it was
divided into three, w°^ he said came by 3 systers coheirs, one of w'''' tooke

opinion of Baron Saville touching these deeds, w"*" was y' the deeds were

strong & good, & that if any division or inclosure were made, he might
have his parte sett out to be inclosed, and bid him take everie yeare some
wood. He said he had shewed these deeds to Sir Godfrey ffoulchiam, to
Sir £fr. ffoulch's mother to my lo : Darcy and others who all allowed of
them. James Danby." See number 900.

900 (177) 1239 Wednesday after the Feast of Saint Martin (November 11th).
Covenant (Lat.), dated at the church of Roderham (Rotherham), between
William rector of the church of Rawmaris and Sibill de Sancta Maria ;
after reciting that an action was pending between the two parties with
regard to common of pasture and reasonable estovers claimed by the
former in the woods of the latter, the document states that Sibill agreed to
give seisin to William of the above by his sacristan (?) Robert de Querneby,
and that the parties agreed to submit to the Justices, as soon as they should
reach Nottingham, questions as to the amount of damages suffered by
William. Robert de Ripers and Robert de Stanford were sureties for
William, and the abbot of Roche and Thomas de Bellew for Sibill de
Sancta Maria. Witnesses : Henry vicar of Roderham, William de
Coddwicke (Toddwicke ?) and Paulinus the King's bailiffs, Robert Gellaris
(cellarius, cellarer ?) of Roche, William of Roche, Ralph the seneschal,

900 (176) (1240-1) in the octave of the Purification of the Blessed Mary
(February 2nd), in the 25th year of Henry HI, Final Concord (Lat.)
between master William de Lichfeild parson of the church of Rawmarsh
(de Rubio (sic) Marisco) plaintiff and Adam de Ridwal and Isolda his wife by
her attorney Henry de Ridewar (sic) defendants, whereby the latter granted
to the former common of pasture for all animals, estovers for burning and
housbote and haybote in the woods of Rawmarshe by view of their
foresters. Notes : Isolda was the daughter of Adam de Saint Mary and
sister of Sibyll, both being coheiresses of the manor of Rawmarsh. See
numbers 900 and 900 (175).

900 (175) (1240 ?) 13th century. Covenant (Lat.) between master William de
Lichef eild parson of the church of Rawmarsh (de Rubio Marisco) plaintiff,
and Sibill de Sancta Maria defendant, concerning common of pasture and
reasonable estovers in all the woods of the same Sibill in Rawmarshe, in
accordance with which covenant the latter granted to William, and his
successors in the church of Rawmarsh, common of pasture for all animals,
and reasonable estovers, for (sic) housbote and haybote and for burning,
from the woods by view of the foresters of the said Sybill. Witnesses :
the lord abbot of Roche, Robert de Haya, Thomas de Bellew (de Bella

Aqua) William de Wydinton, Nicholas de Deyvill, William de Sutton,
Robert de Nottingham, Robert de Ruper, William de London. Notes :
see number, 900. Sibill of Saint Mary was daughter of Adam of
Saint Mary, and wife of Jordan de Reneville. Of her two daughters,
Margaret married Thomas Mounteney and Alice, Thomas de Bella Aqua.
In the "Testa de Neville" she appears as holding a third part of Rawmarsh.
See Hunter's "South Yorkshire" ii. 45-50. At the head of this present
entry appears November 1614, Coppies of Certaine deeds made to the
parsons of Rawmarshe touching there priviledge of Common and wood in
the Woods and Common of Rawmarsh the like priviledges are granted to
Kilnhirst." As similar documents relating to Isolda sister of Sybill,
and Sybill herself are dated 1240-1 and 1239, the date 1216 given at the
side of the entry, though possible, seems rather early. See numbers
900 (176) and 900 (177). This deed seems to follow 900 (177), and to
be the agreement there referred to.

900 (75) Circa 1265. Release and Quit Claim (Lat.) from Thomas, son of
Hugh Ferthinge of Kilnhurst, Matilda his mother, Matilda his sister and

referred to were evidently strips of a quarter of an acre, forty perches in

DERBYSHIRE.

sister, of certain lands formerly held by William son of Bernard in
villenage, lying in the fields of Tharlestropp, in consideration of a yearly
payment of a pair of white gloves or of one penny at Easter. Wit-
nesses : Sir William de Falcunbridge knight, Thomas de Frethevile,
Rog de Hocco (?) of Barlebrough, Henry le Pringer (?) of Wittewell,
Robert del Hurst. Vellum: one skin 10 X 7. Notes: signed as a "true
copy " by Edmo Woodhead, Barthol Hewes. The copy seems to be
imperfect. In Lyson's " Magna Britannia " vol v, p 48 is the following
note in reference to Barlborough : " It is probable that this was the same
manor which, in the reign of Edward I, belonged to William de Faucon-
berg ; it was then called the manor of Ada (sic) de Grydeling, or the
chamber of Ada, and the park of Barlborough (Esch 23 Edw. I)."
Falcunbridge is probably an error in transcription for Fauconberge.
Dugdale's "Baronage," vol ii, p 3, mentions "William de Fauconberge,
younger son of the family of that name, who had a summons to Parliament,
28 Edward I." He was still alive 7 Edward II.

confirming a grant from Nichola de Novo Mercato (Newmarket) to

Oxford, and is part of the " Dodsworth Collection " of MSS. vol 76,

13th century script. The Oxford Dictionary gives gersum and variants
as meaning a premium or fine paid to a feudal superior on entering upon
a holding.

names William le Bret and Roger le Breton appear in a charter about
1300 and William le Bret appears in a charter of 1312. See Addy's
" Beauchief," pp 63 and 64. The male line of the Derbyshire le Bretons
became extinct in the early part of the 14th century. Vellum : one skin
9X3i

814 Late 13th or early 14th century. Probably an almost contemporary copy

of a Charter (Lat.) confirming a grant from Thomas de Chaworth knight
to Alice Casteleyn of Osberton for life and to Rose her daughter, of the
land and appurtenances formerly in the tenure of William de Heytridding,
together with fifteen acres and a plot called Wetlandis, formerly in the
tenure of Robert de le Heytridding, and various small plots formerly in
the tenure of Thomas de Hemenlisworth, John Binger, Hugh Basse son
of Nicholas, John son of Alan, John Goddeknawe, John son of Agnes,
Ralph Hyssmaye, subject to a yearly rent of a rose in summer for all
services, except forinsec service to the King. Failing direct heirs to
Rose, the land was to revert to the grantor. Vellum: one skin 8X5.
Notes : this charter is a duplicate of the first entry in number 300, except
that number 300 gives a list of witnesses: namely. Sir William de Fulking-
ham, then abbot of Beauchief, John de Brymington, William Maleneye of
Dronfeld, Thomas de Wodehouses, Roger Carpenter, Peter de Bernys,
Peter de Leys. The names of Agnes Casteleyn, her daughter and
Peter de Leyes appear in number 300, which from the names of the
witnesses would appear to be circa 1310. Alice Casteleyn seems to have
been the mistress of Thomas de Chaworth, and Rose his daughter to have
been the Rose of this deed. See numbers 809 and 813.

813 Late 13th or early 14th century. Probably an almost contemporary copy

of a Charter (Lat.) confirming a grant from Thomas de Chaworth knight
lord of Norton to John Lutrell, son of Sir Alexander, and Rose the grantor's
younger daughter and wife of the said John and their heirs, of the manor of
Heytredding in the soke of Norton, which Alice Castelayn had by grant
for life, with appurtenances and common of pasture for all animals except
goats, also common of pasture in Rohaghe for eight oxen and six cows
and right of entry into the wood of Rohagh, and the right of taking wood

for enclosing their meadow. Failing direct heirs of John and Rose the
land was to revert to the grantor. Vellum : one skin 7i X 5. Notes :
a duplicate of this charter appears in number 300, which is endorsed " a
deed of Chaworth Herdings 1344," on what authority does not appear.
Among the witnesses there given are Sir Thomas de Furnyval, Sir
Adam de Everingham, Sir Walter de GaushuU, Sir William de Fulkingham
then abbot of Beaiichief, Sir Roger de Brailesford then rector of Dronfeld,
John Dencourt, John de Everyngham. The names of five of these
witnesses appear in two charters circa 1300 and 1312. See Addy's
" Beauchief," pp 63 and 64. To judge from this document Mr. Addy's
date 1423 for William de Fulkingham's abbotship of Beauchief can
hardly be correct, see the same reference p 72. We are probably safe
in dating this document circa 1310.

309 Early 14th century. A copy on paper, probably made in the 17th century,

of a Charter (Lat.) from Thomas de Chaworth lord of Norton to John his

Ill

Himisworth once held of him in villenage in the soke of Norton, on

would appear to belong to the early 14th century. See number 300.

(1304) Sunday the vigil of Saint Laurence (10th August), in the 32nd year
of Edward I. Award and Agreement (Norman French), dated at
Cruche. The deed recites that there had been two disagreements between
the parties : Sir Ralph Frechenvile had begun a plea of mort d' ancestre
against Gerard de Seyncler and Joan his wife as deforciants, of two
messuages and all the land which Lady Amis de Frechenvile, the
plaintiff's mother, had bought from Thomas Chacchehors in Staveley
Woodthorpe ; also Gerard and Joan had begun a plea of novel
disseisin before Adam de Crokedhocks and Henry de Sutton with regard
to a messuage with demesne lands and meadow, then in the tenure of
Ralph, and formerly in the tenure of Lady Amis. It was agreed, by the
agency of common friends, that Gerard and Joan should acknowledge
before the first justices who should come to take the assizes in the county
of Derby, that the two messuages etc, were the right of Ralph, on con-
dition that Ralph should create a life estate in them for Joan.. Aajregards
the messuage etc, in the tenure of Ralph, it was agreed that they should
be valued, and the arable land measured in acres, by the perch used in
the district, within fifteen days after the Feast of Saint Laurence that
year. An estate was to be created of 4d for each acre of arable land, and
12d for each acre of meadow. The messuage and closes were to be held
by certain tenants of rent assize, so that Joan might distrain upon them
if the payments were in arrear. On the other hand Gerard and Joan were
to withdraw from their suit of novel disseisin, and if by any fraud Gerard
and Joan were to release their estate to the heirs of Sir Seyr de Hountin-
feld, then the estate thus created was to revert to Ralph. Ralph moreover
agreed to pay Gerard and Joan two marks on the day when the covenants
should be sealed after the land had been measured. The parties pledged
themselves to each other in the presence of William le Bret, Henry le
Burgilon and others. Notes : a photograph of this interesting deed is
reproduced as a frontispiece to this catalogue, and a full transcript with
contractions extended in italics is given in the appendix.

since misappropriated without authority by George More, Phillip Gill,

skin 14 X 10, seal missing. Notes : it appears from the deed that
through non-user of the old manor house pew, it had been lost ; and John
Bullocke having acquired the manor, prior to the date of this faculty,
evidently wished to have, as lord of the manor, a pew in the centre of the
church, instead of the small pew in the north aisle, which his father
formerly occupied.

sister and heiress of Nicholas Youle late of Chesterfield gentleman
then deceased was admitted, on payment of a relief of 5s 4d, to
lands within the manor, which came to her on the death of the
said Nicholas Youle as his heiress ; whereupon she surrendered a
messuage in Bolsover with several closes called The Croft, Town-
end Pingle, Litle Stile Pingle, Three Danisbrook Closes and two
acres in Townfields, all in Bolsover, in the occupation of William Totley,
to the only proper use and behoof of The Mayor and Aldermen of Ches-
terfield, who were admitted tenants of the manor, they paying a fine of
5s 4d. From a recital of the facts leading up to this admittance and
surrender, it appears that Richard Youle, by will dated 30th June 1699,
gave and devised to the Corporation of Chesterfield 20s yearly for ever ;
to buy yearly and every year eight pair of good strong shoes, and to give
them to eight poor widows, dwelling in Chesterfield, sometime in the week
before Xmas Day ; and also 40s a year more for ever, to buy yearly, on
the 5th November, six score four-penny loaves, to be given on that day to
six score poor people dwelling in Chesterfield, the shoes and bread to be
disposed of at the discretion of The Mayor, Aldermen and Overseer of the
Poor of Chesterfield, and with " the good likeinge and approbation " of his
nearest relation, who should " Inhabit there ' ; and he wished the poor people
who benefited, to be such as frequented the Church of England ; further
he gave to the said Corporation 17s 4d yearly for ever, to buy weekly
every market-day in the market, four four-penny loaves to be given to four
poor widows, pursuant to the will of his uncle George Youle of Ches-
terfield ; and he gave to the vicar of Chesterfield for the time being for
ever 20s yearly, to preach a sermon in the Church, on every 5th November;
and he charged all these annuities on two closes in Chesterfield, called
Nether Horse Crofts, until his executors should purchase lands for the
security and payment thereof, which the testator evidently intended should
be transferred to and held by the Mayor and Aldermen, as he charges
them with payment of 20s a year to the vicar for the sermon, out of the
rents ; and the residue of the rents were to be applied for the charities
above stated. The said Mary Bright was the surviving executor of the
will, and this surrender was intended to free and discharge the closes called
Horse Crofts from the said pious and charitable bequests. Vellum : one
skin 18X19.

ANCIENT MANUSCRIPT BOOKS &> ROLLS.

908 (1384) from the Feast of Saint Michael Archangel (September 29th), in

the 8th year of Richard H, to the same Feast in the 9th year. Compotus
Roll (Lat.) of William Neelson, reeve of the manor of Conesburgh. This
is a single sheet of parchment 25 X 12, at the right hand of which has
been sewn a portion of an account roll of the same manor for the same
period, presented by Ralph Clerk, locum tenens of Henry Westby.
Neelson's account contains only the credit side, namely, the profits of the
manor, under the heads : rents of assize, works and customary services,
farms of the demesne land and meadows, leases of grazing and sales of
ashtrees, and perquisites of courts. Frisby, Denyngby and Braythewell
were included in the scope of the account. Clerk's account is incomplete,
but it seems to be concerned with the same profits. Westby appears to
have been constable of the castle. The whole manuscript is badly
preserved and almost illegible.

910 1431-2 from the Feast of Saint Michael Archangel (September 29th),

in the 10th year, to the same feast in the 11th year of Henry VI.
Compotus Rolls (Lat.) of various manors belonging to Matilda of York
Countess of Cambridge. This lady was the second wife of Richard
Earl of Cambridge, who was the second son of Edmund Duke of York
and grandson of Edward HI. She was the daughter of Thomas, Lord
Clifford and Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Lord Rosse of Hamlake.
The manors from which she received the profits appear to have come

254

to her by way of dowry, from her second husband John, Lord Latymer,
who died 9 Henry VI seised of the manors of Sinlington, Skampeston and
Marten-super-Sevene. She died 25 Henry VI.— (1) Compotus of John
Forster stockkeeper, Michaelmas to Michaelmas 10-11 Henry VI. This
roll is of considerable interest as giving the prices of stock at the time.
' Tha same John answers for £22 received for 40 oxen sold to William
Prank and William Fox of Scarborough and for £(i 3s 4d received
for 10 oxen sold to the prior of Gysburgh,' and for ' 9s 6d received from
1 cow sold to William Jackson ' ..." and for 9s received from 1
young bullock sold to a certain butcher of Scarborough,' and ' for 16d
for the flesh of one bullock which died of murrain' (a considerable
percentage of the cattle seem to have been lost by murrain). The
stockkeeper paid smaller prices for cattle bought for fattening purposes.
' And for two young oxen bought from William Westeren vis. id.' Other
details are given relating to farm properties. ' And for 2 markyngyrens
bought from Richard Norham for marking the lady's beasts lOd. And
for 2 hanging bolts bought for two gates of the forest this year 5d.
And for 2 hopes of iron and 4 stapels of iron bought for posts of the
gates 2d.' There are references to the manors of Danby, Fryopp, and
Sinyngton. — (2) Compotus of John Robynson and Robert Leventon
agistators of the manor of Danby. This account deals with rents for
grazing, or agistments. — (3) Portion of an account of some bailiff unnamed
for Danby. On the receipt side appear the following entries ' And for
6d per annum of rent of the prior of Cromond for permission to lead
water from Stanegatebek to his mill. . . . And for 10s the price of
one cow of the prioress of Rosdale for the escape of her cattle into the
lordship there payable at the feast of Saint Laurence.' A fulling-mill
brought in a yearly rent of 13s 4d. A cornmill called ' Lelom Mylne '
was rented at 16s. Two other corn-mills were let at a rent of 40s
to John Robynson and Robert Leventon on a repairing lease. The
lady of the manor promised on her part to supply the timber, while
the tenants were willing to give up their lease at any time if the
lady received a better offer. There are details of the rents of herbages
and pastures and a curious entry of 2s 6d accruing from the sale of
barbed arrows. The whole receipt was ;^100 6s 5id. On the debit
side is a long account of default of rent, centaining many interesting
personal and place names. Another charge upon the income is as
follows : 'And for a certain annuity of 10 marks per annum issuing from
the manor of Danby payable at Martinmas and Pentecost, granted to
George de Ecton and his heirs by John Nevell the last Lord Latymer
and late lord of the manor there.' Wages were paid to the unmounted
foresters Robart de Leventon, John Proddom, Robert Elys, and William
Matthewe, each receiving 30s 4d per annum. Foresters no doubt were

255

allowed to take game, for their wages were usually much less than
those of ordinary artisans. Under the head of ' costs of enclosures
of the forest ' appear charges for fencing and walling the pastures and
woods from Closegarth to Fryopbrogh, lis 2d. — (4) Account of Thomas
Frauncys junior, bailiff, warden and parker of the manor of Synyngton.
The usual receipts appear — rents of demesne lands, sales of herbage,
perquisites of court and sales of wood. Under the last head we have
' And for 28s Id received from 34 Trees called Crankes remaining
there . . . and for other divers trees and bark sold there.' On the
expenditure side are the ' Expenses of the Chapel ' — ' For the wages of
Richard Wryght of Synyngton for fixing timber with staples in order to
make a reserved space, and shut-off portion in the Chapel there and for
lining the said space and place with carpentry, and timber sawed for the

plauncheryng " of the same, and for repairing three doors in the chapel,
according to an agreement for the whole work made with him by
Robert Mauleverer the Receiver, 33s 4d. And for the wages of William
Carter for breaking out the stone walls of the chapel and making large
holes in them for the joists (lez gystes) and other timber of the new
chamber, and for filling up the holes and the old windows under the
space of the said room — six days at 5d per diem. And in wages to
the said William for plastering (pergettantis) 5 windows with lime and
sand, which windows were recently blocked up with clay 2s 6d. And
for 560 'Spykyngs' bought for the shut-off portion of the said chapel
and other works 2s 6d. And to John Baker and John Burton for
carrying timber from the park to the manor for the chapel — 24 cartloads —
2s. And for the wages of John Golland for tempering mortar and
supplying William Carter with stone at 3d a day — in all lOid. And
for the wages of John Stele and Robert de Grene for plastering
the said 5 windows — 3s 4d.' Another interesting section deals with the

costs of burning lime ' — ' And for wages of John Baker and John de
Burton for carrying 24 wagon-loads of stone from Ladyclose to the
manor limekiln 20d. And for carrying 24 loads of wood there 2s.
And to John Stele and Robert de Grene for sawing, breaking and
splitting the said wood 2s. And to William Carter for breaking (?)
stone for lime and firing the said kiln, emptying it, carrying the lime to
various buildings in the manor, placing it therein and taking care of it for
the stock of the manor 22s 6d. And for the wages of John Stele and
William de Grene for felling 60 stub oaks (stubes quercus) for burning
the said lime 5s.' Among other items of expenditure are payments for
riding on business to Sir John Clareweaux at Croft-on-Tees, and for riding
down to Connesburgh to consult with the lady of the manor, the wages
of John Gollon and Thomas Taillour the palers (palaciarii), the price of
a lock called 'a stoklok,' and the wages of two sawyers for sawing a

256

clog into 9 boards for a pair of doors. The steward and receiver's
wages are given and their expenses in attending the audit and in
enroHing their accounts. Altogether the expenditure on this account
totalled £20 5s l^d, and only £% Us 9d was left as profit to the lady.
This was charged further with the price of eggs supplied to her. The
bailiff was allowed to retain part of the debt. An allowance was made
for the expenses of two persons riding from Synyngton to Connesburgh
with six bucks, sent by the steward to the Lady's Hospice in
Connesburgh for the rejoicings on the occasion of the wedding of
Philip Spencer and Joan Clyfford. Finally, all deductions made, the
actual profit in money amounted to £Z 6s 8d.— (5) Account of William
Thomson, ' Taillour,' receiver of Fryopp, which appears to have been a
part of the manor of Danby. This account, which is imperfect, deals
with grazing-leases of the meadows and forest of that place. Certain
allowances were made in respect of items entered in other accounts.
The roll is endorsed, 'Accounts of the various ministers of the lady
Matilda de Yorke Countess of Cambridge rendered at the Feast of
St Michael Archangel, in the 11th year of the reign of King Henry VI.—
Danby, Synyngton, Marten (?) Skampston. County of York.'

901 1489 Jakes's Manuscript. A book of 82 leaves of paper 8X 11 with

vellum binding. On the first folio is a note in Latin " Lahore et studio

902 Second half of the 15th century. Manuscript Register of Deeds (Lat.)

undated but in a late 15th century hand, containing 21 leaves of vellum
numbered 25-28, 30-32, 35-40 (two being numbered 38), 45, 50-52, 55-57.
The leaves are lOfx 7if, and there are three sheets of paper Si X 6. The
earliest deed is dated 1320 and the latest 1450. The bulk of the deeds
are feoffments, but there are also quit claims, memoranda, letters of
attorney and a survey. An interesting deed is numbered Ixv f 55, and
is a confirmation of seisin, given by Richard Duke of York father of
Edward IV and son of Richard of Connesburgh Earl of Cambridge. In
all there are seventy eight entries including a few duplicates ; thirty -five
deeds relate to lands in Braithwell, Micklebring and Clifton. Doncaster
has eighteen dealing with lands in Balby, Hexthorpe, Ouston, Adwick-le-
Street and Doncaster ; Ravenfield has ten under the head of Steristhorpe
(Streetthorpe) ; five deeds deal with lands in Sandal, and three with lands
in Pigburn ; while Rotherham is represented by four deeds. The bulk of
the deeds are concerned with lands acquired by a certain John Vyncent
and his wife Agnes. John Vincent, according to Hunter's " South York-
shire," vol i, p 131, belonged to the family of the Vincents of Great
Smeaton in Richmondshire. He was agent of Richard Duke of York for
his Yorkshire property. For legal services rendered to the prior and
convent of Lewes, he received a grant of a capital messuage called the
Over-hall in Braithwell. He was slain with the Duke at the battle of
Wakefield, 1460. Of two odd deeds, one concerns lands in Barningham
granted by William Vyncent in 1380, and the other is a grant of lands in
Scarthingwelle from the prior of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem
in England, dated at Eycles. It is evident from a comparison of these
deeds with Hunter's " South Yorkshire," that Hunter was not acquainted
with them, and that they would have given him information on several
points of family history, with regard to which he deplores the lack of
evidence. The separate deeds appear, with others, in this catalogue in
their chronological order.

907 1597 October 26th, in the 39th year of Elizabeth. Court Book (Lat.) of

the manor of Hope. Two sheets of paper 8X12, evidently detached from
the court book. The proceedings of a Little Court of John Curson
esquire held on the above date are recorded. Robert Eayre of Dunge-
worthe essoined for absence. The jury was as follows : — Robert Haughe,
Elis Marshall, Ralph Bockinge, William Heathecot, Andrew Trickett,
Ralph Slacke, Ellis Furnes, John Burdycane, William Middelton, Henry
Paramore, William Eayre and Thomas Hoult. They presented Edmund
Wooddruffe gentleman, John Hadfild senior, George Morton, Silvester
Marten, George Hadfeild for default of suit of court. They also presented
that William Smethe had died seised of a messuage and oxgang in Hope,
that his son Ottwell Smethe was of full age, and that a " hariet " (heriot)
of the best beast was due to the lord. Ellis Furness surrendered a rod of
land in Hope next to the dwelling-house of William Heathcote. The
land lay between lands of Thomas Eayre and Robert Eayre of Dunge-
worth, and was then in the occupation of William Heathcote, who was
at this court admitted tenant. Edward Sanderson surrendered a cottage,
barn, garden and croft, then in the tenure of Ellis Ward, to the use of
the same, and the latter was admitted tenant.

900 Early 17th century. Manuscript Register of Deeds undated, but in

early 17th century hands, relating to Kilnhurst, Rawmarshe and the city
of York. This is a small folio volume 8X11J, bound in coarse parch-
ment. It is possible that this is the book referred to by Hunter
in "South Yorkshire," vol ii, p 46, where he says "in Dodsworth's
notes from a volume of old deeds relating to Kilnhurst, is mention of
John de Haplesthorpe, living in 1323, son and heir of William de
Haplesthorpe, who had Whetecroft and the third part of Rawmarsh."
If this is so, the deed mentioned must have been in the earlier and now
lost portion of the book. The register now consists of ninety leaves of
paper, several leaves evidently having been removed from the beginning.
The first deed is numbered 75 and in all there are one hundred and four
entries, the earliest being dated 1239 and the latest 1617. It appears to
have been compiled for the use of John Darley of York, into whose hands
came the properties specified, and to have been continued for a year or
two after his death by the Ellis family, which inherited his estates. The
separate entries appear in the body of the catalogue.

903 Early 17th century. Manuscript History of Kirkstall Abbey (Lat).

This document consists of five small folio sheets of paper 8 X 12, sewn
together in book form, with about sixty lines of small neat writing, on each
of the first nine pages. It is headed " ffundatio abbattiie (sic) de Kirk-
stall," and endorsed on the last page " Liber foundationis (sic) Monast de

264

Kirkst : The Booke of the foundation of the Abbey of Kirkstall. Drake."
When compared with the sources of Kirkstall history given in Bohn's
edition of Dugdale's " Monasticon " 1846 vol 5, 526-553 and Whitaker's
History of Craven," it is seen to bear a close relation to three manuscript
histories.— (1) On page 530, number ii, Bohn's edition of Dugdale's
" Monasticon," vol 5, a transcription is given of a manuscript " Funda-
tionis Historia . . . inter codices per Willelmum Cantuar . archiep .
collates . G.9. fol 129a." This manuscript (number 903) runs prac-
tically word for word with the Bodleian history, until the second part
of the section dealing with the abbotship of Ralph Hageth, second abbot,
when it gives twelve lines of information not found in the latter. The
two contain the same account of Lambert the third abbot, but while the
Bodleian manuscript gives " Helias the monk formerly of Roche " as
fourth abbot, this, the Jackson manuscript, continues "on the death of Abbot
Lambert there succeeded him Abbot Turgisius of sacred memory, a man
of singular abstinence etc," and after seventeen lines of story, gives
Helias as the fifth abbot. The Bodleian manuscript ends here, except
for a final note common to both, while the Jackson manuscript continues
with a list of abbots to Hugh de Grimston 1284, fifteenth abbot. After-
wards we have a series of legal documents, grants, protections etc, of
various dates ; and on page 9 appears a sixteenth abbot. " There suc-
ceeded to Hugh de Grymston John Bridesall Anno Dni MCCC IIII, a
letter having been sent to the Prior and Convent." The letter follows in
thirty six lines. The Jackson manuscript ends like the Bodleian, with
four lines, containing a curious error. " It is found in the chronicles of
the Abbey of Kirkstall that in the fourth year of King Henry (sic), and in
the year of the Lord MCXCHH in the month of August on the 21st day,
viz, the Kalends of February, died lord Robert de Lascy of good memory,
the second founder of the monastery of Kirkstall, and there he is buried."
It seems fairly obvious that the Bodleian manuscript and the Jackson
manuscript were derived from a common source, though the latter is
much more complete. — (2) On page 527, Bohn's edition of Dugdale's
" Monasticon " vol 5, is a note containing a long quotation from Stevens'
"Continuation" vol ii, p 11 (John Stevens, d 1726, published in 1722 a
" Continuation of Dugdale's Monasticon "). It runs "The Monasticon in
the history of the Foundation of this monastery mentions only Alexander,
Ralph, Lambert, and Helias, whom he makes the fourth, but in the
manuscript, communicated by that learned Antiquary Ralph Thoresby, of
Leeds, in Yorkshire, Esq. I find Turgsius the fourth abbat, and Helias
the fifth." On comparing the abstract given by Stevens of the Thoresby
manuscript, it would appear that the latter contains practically the same
wording as the Jackson manuscript. It is not impossible that the latter is
a 17th century copy of Thoresby 's manuscript, or an independent copy of

265

an earlier original, from which the Bodleian and Thoresby's manuscripts
were also derived. However, in Bohn's edition of Dugdale vol v, pp
535-538 are given ten deeds relating to Kirkstall with the explanation "in
the possession of Ralph Thoresby of Leeds Esq." It is not stated whether
these deeds were to be found in the manuscript history. Of these deeds
so quoted only two are to be found in the list of deeds in the Jackson
manuscript, which is as follows : 1 . A letter from brother Hugh, abbot of
Kirkstall to the convent of the same name, dated on the morrow of the
Feast of Saint Martin (Nov 12th) 1287, dealing with the monetary diffi-
culties of the abbey, and containing (a) a writ of Edward I. (b) A writ
of Edward I. Oct 16th 1287 ; addressed to John, bishop of Ely, Treasurer,
(c) A covenant, Saturday after the Feast of Saint Luke the Evangelist
(Oct 18th) 1287 between Abbot Hugh of Kirkstall and Henry de Lacy
Earl of Lincoln. * {d) Confirmation, Oct 27th 1287. (e) Writing
obligatory from Henry de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln and Constable of
Chester to the abbot and convent of Kirkstall Oct 28th 1287. (/) Another
writing obligatory of the same day. 2. State of the monastery on Sunday
before the Feast of Saint Margaret (July 20th) 1301. 3r Protection from
Henry III, 16th November 1219. 4. Delivery by Edward I of the
guardianship of Kirkstall to Henry de Lacy 20th November 1275.
(Those marked with an asterisk are quoted in Bohn's Dugdale.) — (3) In
Whitaker's "History of Craven" pp 76-83 is an account of the history
of Kirkstall. Dr. Whitaker drew his material from Dugdale, that is,
from the Bodleian manuscript which he quotes until the death of Alexander
the first abbot, see '" History of Craven " p 79, note 2, " Chron de
Kirkstall. The style of one monk is so like that of another, that I am
unable to distinguish where Serlo's narrative ends and that of his continuer
begins. I have hitherto been constrained to write from the printed
narrative Mon. Ang. vol i, p 854, etc ; but from this period Dugdale and
Dodsworth began to abridge their account : I shall therefore confine
myself, for the future, principally to particulars which they have omitted,
after premising that I write from a copy of the Chronicle of Kirkstall
among the Townley MSS." Whitaker gives a very interesting translation
of the two letters of Hugh de Grimston and John Birdsall, omitting the
legal documents, which he confesses himself unable to understand. As
far as one can judge from extracts the Jackson manuscript is a copy
of either Thoresby's or the Townley manuscript, or of some original
common to both, though it is possible that Hugh de Grimston's letter is
given here in more detail than in either of these sources. " Drake "
appears to have been a lawyer, and the manuscript appears to have come
into the possession of the late Mr. Arthur Jackson, together with several
other documents, dating from the 16th to the 18th centuries and relating
to certain tithes from Barnoldswick and Gilkirk, which formerly belonged
to Kirkstall Abbey.

905 1615 June 10th to 1677 January 15th. Sheffield Constables Accounts

(Engl.) This is a small folio paper book 8X12, consisting of forty-one
leaves, some of which are blank. The handwritings are of a legal type
and almost invariably clear. At the head of each account appears the
charge," consisting of receipts from " Sessments," and occasionally from
" Towne Rentes " and other sources. On the same sheet follows the
expenditure " Whereof disbursed by the said Constables." Many of the
items of expenditure appear year by year and are of little importance, but
there are numerous entries which throw an interesting light upon ShefiSeld
life and customs in the 17th century. The movements of troops in the
Civil War are noted as far as they affected Sheffield, and there are echoes
of political events. The following extracts may give some idea of the
contents : —

909 (1618) October 7th, in the 16th year of James L Court Rolls (Lat.)

of the manor of Conesburgh. These rolls consist of two vellum sheets
8 X 29, stitched together at the head, and written over on sides. The
following courts are recorded : — (1) Court Leet of the Right Hon Henry
Carey knight. Lord Hunsdon 7th October 16 James I. — (2) Court Baron
of 16th November 16 James I. — (3) Court Leet with View of Frank-
pledge 8th April 17 James I. — (4) Court Baron 15th April 17 James L
— (5) Court Baron 31st August 17 James L — (6) Court Baron 21st September
17 James I. The Courts Leet were occupied with amercements upon the
tenants for various petty offences. The jurisdiction of the lord seems to
have extended among other places over Conisborough, Bramley, Harthill,
Braithwell, Cusworth, Clifton, Warrasworth, Ravensfield, Cresbrook,
Dalton, Baronbroughe. Among the tenants of the manor were people of
some substance. Sir Samuel Salstonstall knight (3s 4d), Sir Robert
Swifte knight (3s 4d), Leonard Wraye esquire (2s), Gervase Copley
(I2d), Robert Tirrell esquire, Gervase Westall gentleman (2s 6d),
Nathaniel Eire gentleman (l2d), Richard Mounteney gentleman (l2d),
William Goodman gentleman (12d), were all fined for default of suit of
court. A common offence among the holders of strips in the common
fields was that of allowing their hedges to fall into disrepair, so that the
cattle wandered upon their neighbours' land. Others paid fines for
breaking the assize of bread and beer, keeping unauthorized bowling-
greens, ' rating their hempe" in running water (cannabum macceravit),
blocking up footpaths, neglecting to dig ditches at the end of selions.

271

overburdening the common with sheep, keeping and selling tobacco
contrary to the law, petty assaults, taking firewood, and refusing to throw
open their holdings for pasture after Lammas. The Courts Baron were
occupied with surrenders and admittances, which appear under number
909, i-xii, among the deeds and charters.

906 1625 " A Rentall of the King's rents for the high Peake in the right of

his Dutchie of Lancaster ano. dni. 1625." This is a manuscript book of
16 paper folios, bound in a portion of a vellum indenture. The first folio
contains an account of " palfrie silver " due from the various towns and
villages in the honour. The next twelve folios contain details of rents
due from the inhabitants of the several places. The last three folios are
filled with miscellaneous items such as " Half Yeare Rents, Herbages,
Milnes, Woodland," etc. The whole MS. is of considerable interest, as
it supplies a list of inhabitants of the honour of the High Peak, and gives
many details of the lands held by them. Payments are noted as coming
from turves and turveries, coalepits, liberties, pinfolds, comon silver,
sergenties, intackes, encrochments, weistes," copies (of court roll) and
leases. Among other items it is recorded that 10s. was paid by " The
Earle of Shresburie for prehiminence and prehemtion."

904 1636 November 3rd to 1690-1 March 19th. The Hope Old Book (Lat.

and Engl). This is a small folio court book of the manor of Hope, of 50
paper sheets 8X12, bound in thin vellum. Altogether twenty-one courts are
recorded, of which the first three are described as " Little Courts," while
the rest are named either " Courts Baron " or " Great Courts Baron," one
being described as a " Little Court Baron." Probably the Little Courts,
Courts Baron and the Little Court Baron refer to the same Court namely
the Little Court Baron. The Great Courts Baron may have been more
important assemblies ; but in any case the same customary tenants
appear as jurors in both classes of courts, and the business transacted is
of the same character. It consisted mainly of transfers of land by sur-
renders and admittances, admittances on inheritance, and admittances on
lease. The land which thus changed hands is definitely stated to be
copyhold in about half the entries. In almost every case a fine was
taken, and heriots of " the second best animal " are enrolled wherever the
jurors presented the death of a tenant and the succession of his heir, even
when the lands are not described as copyhold. The word "relief,"
generally used under such circumstances in the case of freehold lands, is
nowhere mentioned in this court book. Both Great and Little Courts
Baron dealt equally with copyhold land. There is no trace of any leet
jurisdiction, and the few amercements imposed are as a rule for default of
suit of court. In one Great Court Baron in 1670 an offender was amerced

272

for obstructing a path and another for breaking the pound. As regards
civil jurisdiction, a common recovery is recorded at a Little Court of
1638, and at the same court a certain Grace Heathcote appeared as
plaintiff in five pleas of dower, but no pleadings or result are recorded.
In 1649, however, Elizabeth Froggatt brought forward a plea of dower,
" unde nihil habet," and the jury granted to her a third part of the
messuages, lands and tenements of her late husband Thomas Bockinge.
From 1636 to 1670 "John Gell esquire" is noted as lord of the manor.
After that the name appears as " John Gell Barronet." In 1679 " Philip
Gell esquire " appears at the head of the entries, and from 1689 to the
end "Philip Gell Barronet." Among the jurors of the courts from
time to time are the following: Ottwell Smith, Adam Eyre, Adam
Balgie, John Parramore, Thomas Bockinge, Nicholas Grant, John
Briddocke, Thomas Slacke, Robert Heywood, George Marshall, Antony
Ashton, Robert Middleton, Mark Trickitt, John Hadfeild, Richard Hallum,
Robert Hall, John Burdekin, John Hardie, Edmund Balgie gentleman,
Thomas Martyn, Henry Hoult, Ellis Yellott, John Bacon, Francis Frost,
William Johnson, Nicholas Staley, John Bennett, Robert Bray, Edward
Breadhurst, Nathan Woodroffe, Martin Bradocke, Thomas Stephenson,
Thomas Heathcote, Francis Daniel, Thomas Hollott, Richard Morton,
Roger Ray, Henry Furnis, John Dernelley, Edward Robotham, Thomas
Kirke, and many others with the same surnames. The court book gives
a considerable amount of information about the descents of the tenants,
and in many cases the metes and bounds of their holdings are minutely
described. It is evident that much of the land in the neighbourhood was
still unenclosed. Thus in 1667 there is an entry. Item That the
Townefeilds within Hope and belongeinge to this Mannour shalbe
yearely stinted and kept in, untill the one & thirtith day of October
yearly, and the homage doe elect nominate and appoynt Roberte
Bockinge, Thomas Eyre, Roberte Bray, and John Hadfeild to be
overseers and stinters of the same for this yeare next ensueinge. And
it is Ordered That every person that shall breake the stinte soe to be
made shall forfeit and pay to the lord of this mannour for every horse
six shipyings (sic) and eightpence for every neate beaste, or five sheepe
three shillings foure pence that he or they shall have or put therein
above such stinte for every offence." The parcels of land are usually
of an acre or a half acre lying severally in the fields, and there are
frequent references to butts, selions, headlands, outfalls, furlongs, acres
and other terms characteristic of the old land system. Where transfers
of smaller portions took place they were of one to three rods in various
meadows, crofts, and closes, though some rods lay separately in the
arable fields. Occasionally " common of pasture " is mentioned as
accompanying such conveyances, though it was not thought necessary

273

to state the number of animals whipl^ this right covered. Especially
interesting are the field-names and place-names, which preserve many
obsolete rural words, and which are well worthy of study by local
antiquaries. Generally speaking the fines exacted by the lords on
admittances and inheritances appear to be moderate, considering that
copyhold lands, of as much as three acres, are mentioned as paying only
two or three pence rent per annum to the lord in 1636 ; a cottage and
lands 2s 6d in 1638 ; twelve several rods of land 4s in 1638 ; a
messuage and an oxgang of land 2s lOid in 1659 ; a messuage, three
closes and half an acre of land 2s 2d. Among the customary tenants
were men of some substance in the district : Eyre, Foljambe, Balguy,
Gascoigne, Borrowe, Bagshawe etc.

FRAGMENTS OF BREVIARIES AND
ILLUMINATED MSS.

911 Fragment of a Breviary (Lat.) consisting of two leaves of vellum, 9X16,

with double columns of thirty-five lines, written in square English minus-
cules, in a fifteenth century hand. The ornamental initial letters are in
blue with lace work and flourishes in red ink, extending down the columns.
The two leaves were evidently used as a cover for documents, for there is
a note at the foot of one page, " Wills proved in the Archdeaconry of

275

Stowe A.D. 1572, 1573 and 1574." On the other page, a bond from
Thomas Tompsonne of Lincoln Tailor to Thomas Taillor of the same is
written at the foot.

912 Fragment of a Manuscript Book (Lat.) consisting of four leaves of
vellum 9j X 14, with double columns of twenty- seven lines on each page,
with glosses in all the margins. The writing is in small minuscules of an
Italian character, and appears to belong to the late fourteenth century.
There are ornamental initial letters in red, blue and gold. The book is a
treatise on ecclesiastical or canon law.

913 Fragment of a Manuscript Book (Lat.) consisting of six leaves of vellum
9 X 12, with double columns of fifty-seven lines. The writing is in a small
minuscule and of a dull untidy type, probably of the early or middle four-
teenth century. Initial letters are in blue, with leaf-ornamentation in the
loops and flourishes in red ink. The topics treated are : witnesses,
betrothals, marriages, the right of clergy and monks to engage in secular
business, regular clergy, and those taking the veil, etc. In the margin
are a few pen -sketches of the heads of friars and monks, hooded and
showing the tonsure.

914 Fragment of a Manuscript Book (Lat.), consisting of ten leaves of
vellum approximately 12X 16, with double columns of fifty-four lines on
each page, and a gloss running round the margins. The writing is in
large clear minuscules and appears to belong to the late thirteenth century.
The initial letters are simply designed, in red and blue, without marginal
ornamentation. Notes in a later hand are found in the margins and
numerous sketches of heads. The book is evidently a statement of canon
law. Among the topics treated are the following : namely, " What a man
ought to know who is to be ordained bishop " ; " Unlearned men and
vicious, seeking worldly gain ought not to be ordained bishops " ; " Men of
ill fame cannot accuse men of good fame " ; "A heretic can bear witness
against a heretic." There are frequent quotations from Eusebius, Gregory,
Augustine, Gelasius, and the Canons of Councils.

915 Two leaves from a Church Service Book (Lat.) with music, vellum
9X12. As the leaves are cut at the head, it is impossible to give the
number of lines. The initial letters are plainly written in red and blue.
From the late character of the writing the MS. appears to belong to the
late fifteenth or early sixteenth century.

916 (a) Fragment of a Manuscript Book (Lat.), consisting of two leaves of
faintly lined vellum 7 X 9j, with a single column of thirty-three lines on
each page. The writing is a very clear rounded type of bookhand, with

276

small capital letters dotted with red, and appears to belong to the late
thirteenth century. The argument deals with oaths, and a distinction is
drawn between innocent and guilty oaths, enforced by quotations from
Saint Augustine. — (b) A similar fragment of two leaves of unlined vellum
of the same size and number of lines, and in the same handwriting. There
are two larger capitals in blue and red. The argument concerns the
distinction between heresy and schism, and may have been, together
with (a), part of a collection of treatises on canon law.

917 Fragment of a Manuscript Book (Lat.), consisting of two leaves of lined
vellum 8X12, with a double column of forty-three lines each on the page.
The writing is in a clear, small and fairly regular minuscule in very black
ink. The capital letters are large with graceful lines in the loops, and an
ornamentation of flowing lines is continued above and below the letter
at the side of the column. The stem of the " t " is not continued above
the cross, and the upper loop of the " a " is generally left open. Possibly
a MS. of the middle thirteenth century. The argument proceeds along
lines of mediaeval logic, and deals in general with the seven mortal sins,
and in particular with the various forms of pride and their veniality.

918 (a) Small fragment of a Manuscript Book (Lat.), vellum approximately
4X12, with sixty imperfect lines of writing on each side. The handwriting
is a neat and clear minuscule, and the letters are of an angular type.
It appears to be of the late fourteenth century. The argument concerns
the nature of angels. — (b) Small fragment of a Manuscript Book (Lat.),
vellum approximately 4X 12, with fifteen lines in each of two columns on
both sides. The handwriting is clear and moderately rounded, and is
probably of the fourteenth century. The sinfulness of certain actions is
discussed.

" Castleton Writings Copied " ; containing extracts in manuscript from
17th and early 18th century charters and writings, in various ownerships.
The book is paged to 60, and there is an index at the beginning. The
book is full of information relating to the Castleton district.

1102 A Volume 8X9i, bound in half leather boards, entitled on the first page
" Collectanea Vivorum et Mortuorum a Gulielmo Swift." This appears
to have been a notebook of William Swift, in which he entered in alpha-
betical order the names, addresses, ages, and dates of death or burial of
local people, probably these were entered up from the daily papers. They
should be of great use to genealogists.

1103 A Volume 8X10, bound in half leather boards, entitled "Deeds and
Church Notes Yorkshire." These notes are in the handwriting of William
Swift ; the book is paged to 913, but very little of it has been used and the

313

notes are scattered throughout the pages ; there is no index. Notes : this
volume has been re-bound since it came to the Library, and the title on the
old cover has been reproduced.

1105 A Volume 8 x 10, bound in half leather boards, entitled " Deeds & Church
Notes — Derbyshire." This volume contains 915 folios, and there is no
index ; but on the first page there is some indication of the pages at which
certain notes begin ; the notes are in the handwriting of "William Swift,
and are scattered throughout the book, among many blank pages.

(ii) an index to the births in Ecclesall Bierlow 1837 to 1861, in the hand-
(iii) writing of William Swift.

to advise with his opinion at foot (28 May 1760); copy will and codicil of
Henry Pelham (1748-1751). The precedents are copied in a beautiful
hand by, presumably, a lawyer or law student, and there is an index to the
precedents at the end of the book. On the front page the following
names have been written in various hands viz: Thomas Wigley, Jonathan
Lee, Chesterfield and Thomas Higley.

1112 A Volume 8^x13, bound in rough leather boards; containing copies in
manuscript of law precedents and forms, 18th century, and there is no
index; some of the precedents seem to be copies of deeds relating to
Shefi&eld people, with recitals of wills, etc., and if they can be relied on
as true copies, the information they contain is of value and should be
examined by genealogists. The names of counsel who approved the
drafts appear, and their opinions are in some cases given.

1113 A Volume 8X 10, bound in vellum boards, entitled "Wills" ; containing,
Part I, of some original abstracts of wills, co York, by William Paver,
printed by John F Anson Brusby printer of Devonshire Terrace, Glossop

Sir Francis Chantry; another of William Cobbett M.P.; there is no index.

314

1114 A Volume 7i X 9, bound in paper boards, entitled " Derbyshire Extracts
from Gents Mag by Swift." William Swift had not got far with this
work, but these notes would be useful in compiling Derbyshire genealogies.

1115 A Volume 8jx 13, bound in half leather boards, entitled "Collections for
a History of Staveley"; which William Swift evidently contemplated
writing, but this book contains nothing beyond the title page and an
illuminated heading, for the "introductory Chapter to Section I."

house (with ex lihris of Henry Waterhouse), and several articles on

copies of exercises in Latin elegiacs and hexameters, some of which are
signed respectively by Geo Steer, Thos Younge, George Ibotson, Dan'-

315

Boote, W Oborne, Thos Cawthorne, who may have been scholars at the
Sheffield Grammar School. The Latin verses are followed by rent
accounts.

1128 A Volume 7^X8, bound in vellum boards; containing lists of rectors,
vicars, curates, ministers, mayors, aldermen, town clerks, masters of
grammar schools, guilds and chantries in Derbyshire ; with an index on

the handwriting of William Swift, relating to churches, monasteries,
chantries within the deanery of Chesterfield ; extracts from Bacon's

a copy of parts of the Sheffield parish registers, and full extracts there-
from. One section relating to the family of Fox is said to have been sent
by Mr. Hunter to Mr. Ince. This volume should be of great use to local
genealogists. Notes: Mr. Ince was of Wirksworth, see number 1125.

1133 A Volume 7i X 9i, bound in limp paper, entitled " A few notes concerning
the early introduction and progress of Wesleyan Methodism in Chester-

A Volume 14^ X 9, with blue paper cover, containing " A set of fifty New
and Correct Maps of England and Wales," showing the main roads and
cross-roads for travellers, by Herman Moll, of Devereux Court, Strand,
London, 1724.

Late 15th or early 16th century. A Medical Miscellany (Lat.). This
is a folio volume of paper, in a modern binding, containing 148 leaves, of
which the first 72 form a separate section with an index. The next 8
pages deal with the relation of the stars to health, while the last portion
of the book, among other matters, discusses the physical effects of various
foods, herbs, and drugs. Hippocrates, the Ptolemies, John de Tholeto,
John Picard, physician of Philip of France ; Richard de Anglia, and other
writers are quoted. As a whole the book shows the curious medley of
astrology, superstition, traditional rules, error, and experience which
constituted the medical art of the Middle Ages. The book begins with a
dissertation on the advantages and disadvantages of phlebotomy and
laxatives during the different quarters of the moon. We are told on
the authority of Haly, commentator of " Phtholomy," that in the first and
third quarters of the moon the " humours " of the body are effluent, and
may be compared to a rising river, and accordingly laxatives and blood-
letting were useful, whereas in the second and fourth quarters the humours
were refluent, and these remedies were inexpedient. Surgeons must also
be careful not to use the knife, when the moon was in the particular sign
which denoted the ailing member, since the patient would be imperilled
by too great a " flux," which would prevent the wound from healing. A
warning example is given of a patient who was bled at such an inauspicious
period, and showing no sign but a swollen arm, incontinently died —
a result which, from the modern point of view, is not so surprising as that
anyone survived the ancient surgery. Next follows a list of the planets
with their qualities, Saturn being described as malevolent, cold, unfruitful,
and destructive of life, while Venus was warm, humid, and favourable.
The days of the lunar month are then given, from which it appears
that the 6th was a good day for hunting or going to war, and that children
born then were strong and full of vitality ; but it was not a good day for
marrying or invalids, no one ought to tell others of dreams dreamed on
that day, and thefts and treasons were sure to be found out. On the
contrary the 14th day was good for all purposes, apparently including the
last two activities. The effect of various simples is described in various
diseases, and a large number of prescriptions, composed of astonishing and
unpleasant ingredients, is given. No disease seems to have been regarded
as beyond remedy, even " iliac passion," familiar to-day under the name
of appendicitis, having its appropriate prescription. Other sections deal
with astrolabes, clisters, aqua vitae, oils, experimental medicine, the value

320

of snake's blood as a curative, the correct diet for preserving health, and
the whole science of blood-letting. This last practice, which remained in
favour with the medical fraternity till within living memory, seems to
have been regarded as invaluable in almost every case, either alone or in
combination with dosing. The details of its application, as recorded in
the MS., help to explain the abnormally high death rate of the Middle
Ages, and the difficulty then experienced in growing old. Here and there,
however, are common sense maxims, as, for instance, when abstinence is
recommended for digestive troubles, and exercise and work for torpid
livers and spleens. Apparently the mediaeval doctor considered cosmetics
within the range of his art, for a chapter is headed : " Tractatus de ornatu
faciei — de ornatu mulierum," and here the author strikes a modern note
in his insistence on the value of bathing and clean water, which, as a rule,
were not regarded with high esteem by our forefathers ..." faciem
mulieris hoc modo ornabis in primo abluat earn optime cum sapone
Gallico et aqua tepida." Instructions follow for rendering the hair
thick, black, and glossy. Towards the end of the book there are several
folios containing lists of medicaments, and, throughout, the pages have
been annotated industriously by a contemporary hand, many additional
prescriptions being added. Apart from the special medical interest of
this curious volume, it would appear to be well worthy of close study
from the point of view of philology. It is to be hoped that some student
with special qualifications in this subject will undertake its examination.

1289 A photograph of The Tutbury Horn. A feudal horn described by

Dr. J. Charles Cox in the Journal of the Derbyshire Archaeological Society
Vol VIII, as by far the most interesting relic of its kind in England. It
belongs to the Bagshawe Family, of Ford Hall, Chapel-en-le-Frith ; and
by it the owner appoints the coroner for the part of Derbyshire which
includes the High Peak. It consists of an oxhorn, mounted silver gilt,
with black silk belt and silver gilt buckles ; the badge bears the arms of
John o' Gaunt impaling Feriers. It dates from Danish or Anglo-Saxon
times. There are several prints of this photograph in the collection.

N.B. — The Jackson Collection contains, in addition to the items above catalogued, very
many loose papers and rough notes, collected or made by William Swift and others.
These have been classified to some extent, and placed in boxes, endorsed "Swift's Papers"
with some general indication of their contents. Though they cannot conveniently be
catalogued, they should not be overlooked. There are also several bundles of lawyers'
drafts and abstracts, printed plans and particulars, a few maps, both printed and manu-
script, and some printed public notices, all of local interest. These have been placed
in boxes and guard books, and can be produced for examination at the Reference Library.
