PREFATORY NOTE
THE present volume, as will be seen from the list
of "Contents," embraces a variety of matter.
Part VII is the only portion with any claim to be
written narrative of the Itinerary, and even some
pages of this (23-33) show notes on parts of York-
shire which, though apparently belonging to this
journey, were not put into narrative shape. Among
these Yorkshire notes is the famous passage on the
supposed birthplace of John Wyclif, where unfortu-
nately the bottom of Leland's page is torn away, and
we have to depend on Stow's reading, Ipreswel, near
Richmond, perhaps the present Hipswell. The route
starts from Alberbury in Shropshire, where Leland
ends part of his Welsh rambles, which are thus linked
on to England. It has, therefore, seemed well to add
in this volume (Appendix II) a few notes from Col-
lectanea, vol. iii, on Herefordshire and some Welsh
castles which were omitted in " Leland in Wales,"
and also to transfer from Leland's last volume of so-
called Itinerary his abstract notes from a Welsh
Chronicle of the type of the " Brut y Tywysogion "
(pp. 168-177). As we only know this through Stow's
copy the original being lost sundry mistakes have
crept in, most of which are probably due to him;
some of these, especially in a few proper names, I
have been able to correct from the " Brut." But as
there are great variations among these names, which
v
vi PREFATORY NOTE
might lead to more error on the part of an ignorant
Englishwoman, I have not attempted to index more
in these Chronicle pages than the bishops of Menevia
and the names of castles. They do not touch the
Itinerary, and special students will certainly compare
these notes with the "Brut y Tywysogion" (Rolls
Series, No. 17), and perhaps other chronicles.
In Part VIII the interesting notes on Kent from
Collectanea (p. 47) are brought together with those from
the Itinerary, for which a sketch map is attempted.
The bulk of this Part, however, consists of miscella-
neous notes of gentry and their possessions in many
counties, and some of much interest, referring to inci-
dents and events of recent history such as the battle
of Trade or Brest, in which men of Sussex suffered.
The difficulty of identifying many of these detached
places may have caused a few errors; I have done
my best to avoid them, but must beg indulgence for
one (pp. 47 note *, 57), which to those who know their
Matthew Paris well will seem heinous. Not remember-
ing Hubert de Burgh's cry when obliged to leave the
Wardenship of Dover castle in other hands in order
to engage in naval warfare, " Clavis enim Angliae est
et repagulum!" which must have become a saying
of local patriotism I connected the idea of " Kent
the key of all England " with that of harbours and
havens, and with the old spelling of quay.
Appendix III with its accompanying facsimile of
map and notes of the Channel Islands is taken from
the third volume of Collectanea, to which we already
owe other valuable additions.
Appendix I contains two long extracts removed
from the text, with which they seemed to interfere.

a mile of was Album Monasterium, where [he\ is buried, sup-
pressid for Chicheles College in Oxforde.
Bytuixt Albertbiri and Shreusbiri a vi. miles of ground
plentiful of corne, wood and pasture.
From Shreusbiri to Haghmon a Abbay of Blak Chanons ii.
miles. Within iii. quarters of a mile leving Severn on the
right hond I enterid into a woodde, and sone after over a
broke that issueth thoroug Penlesmere, and sone after [goith
into Severn.]
Thens ridyng partely thorough morisch grounde and fo. 81.
pasture I cam to Morton Corbet village, wher I saw a fair
castel of Mr. Corbettes, and a ii. miles beyond that I passid
over Roden riveret, rising not far above Went village, a mile
from that place.
And so a v. miles to Price b a litle thoroug-fare a vii. miles
of, the way being sumwhat plaine, hethy, and partely fruteful
of corne. Mr. Sanford hath a place and a fair poole by yt
in a wood side, a mile and a half from Pryce. So to Whit-
chirch by meately fruteful, sandy ground a iii. mylis. At the
hither ende of Whitchirch is a veri faire poole, having bremes,
pikes, tenches, perches and daces, the wich except bremes
be the commune fisches of al the pooles of Shropshire,
Ches[ter] and Lancastre shire; in sum be also trouttes.

Shropshire. The tounne of Whitchirch in Shropshire hath a veri good
market. And there in the paroche chirch is buried Syr
Gilbert Talbot.
From Whitchirch a mile and a half of I c[am] by the pale
of the large parke of Blakmer longging to the Erie of Shreus-
biri, wherin is a very fair place or loge. The park a hath both
redde dere and falow. In the park (as I hard say) be iii.
faire poles, of the wich I saw by the pale the largest caullid
Blakein, wherof the parke is namid.
It is to be supposid that thes pooles, for the most part in
moresch groundes and lying sumwhat in low groundes,
dreane the moist places about them, and so having no place
to issue owt stagne there.
Sum be likelyhod have begon of [marie] pittes. For the
sandy grounde of [sum partes] of Shropshire, and especially
of [Chestrejshire and Lancastreshire, wille [not bere] corne
plentifully but it be [merlyd.]
Sum pooles peraventure hath g[atheryd] . . . and water,
wher greate plen [ty of turves] and petes hath bene diggid.
Cheshire. Within half a mile of Blakmere Parke I cam by Merby
paroche, wher the chirch is set in a botom betwixt too
goodly meres or pooles.
From Blakemere to By[klem b in a fosse]* iii. miles of sand,
hard by Cholmeley [moss. Here] first I saw the great numbre
[of firre rottes,] the wiche the inhabitantes therby communely
digge up for fier wood, but ther did I se no fyrre trees grouing.
Oftentimes in diggin in this mosse or more for petes or turves
they finde the hole trees of the first, sum short and sum veri
long, without twiste or bow, lying sumtime not a foote, sum-
time iii. or iiii. foote depe in the ground, but how or when
thes trees cam doune other be cutting or wind faulle no
manne there can telle. The wood of them in burning savorith
of resine.
Hard on the right hond passing by this mosse almost to
miles in lenght I saw a greate wood of Mr. Cholmeleys, and
at the farther ende of this mosse was a chapel of woode,
and in the botom hard by was Mr. Cholmeleis place, a fair

building of tymbre, and motid about with the water of a Cheshire,
poole.
From thens to Ridle a Parke about half a mile, wher hard
by the parke is a right goodly house of stone and tymbre
buildid by Sir William of Standeley, that much favorid King
Henri the vii. parte at Bosworth Feeld. King Henri the vii.
gave this place after to one of the Egertons. At Ridle Place
is a mere of pikes, bremes, tenches and perches, half a mile
in bredth, and a mile and a half in lenght, countid for the
fairest mere of Chestreshire. From thens to a place of Mr.
Spurstow caullid Spurstow, made of stone and tymbre, and
therby is a large poole, cumpasing the howse on the one
side. About that howse I saw in the feldes mervelus good
come and pastures.
And lesse then a quarter of a mile from that place is a
greate redy poole, whither an innumerable sight of stares
resort at night.
From thens to Bunberi half a mile. At Bunbiri is a very
faire collegiate chirch, endowid by old tyme by Syr Hughe
Calveley knight.
[ Within a mile] and an half of [Bunberi is\ Pecfordton b
[& goodly /<?r]dship [having a] great [house of stone now . . .]*
Thens I ridde to Northwich, x. miles of, alwayes by sandy
grounde, leving iii. miles from Bunbyri Syr John Downe
knightes house, half a mile on the lift honde in the enter-
ing of the forest of Delamere, the wich sum way [is xii.
myles in lenght, or more; but I rydde by it] not past the fo. 82.
lenght of vi. or vii. miles, and entering a ii. miles within the
forest having redde deere and falow I passid over a litle
brooke caullid Sanddiford.
Betwixt Sanddyford and Northwiche I saw divers pooles
in the forest, and toward the ende of the forest I lookid
toward Valle Royal on the right hond, about the wich
place be divers fair and large pooles, wherof one is neere
Vale Roial, as within a mile, cawllid Pety Pole c though it
be greate.

Cheshire. There is a place in the forest of Delamer cawllid the vii.
Loos, wher be scene vii. caste dikes. The people there
speke much of them. I think that they were made by men
of warre.
In the forest I saw but litle corne, bicause of the deere.
And as I roode I marked the forest ground on the right
hond to be plaine blake hethi grounde, and on the lifte
hond to be sumwhat hilly and wooddy.
Northwich is a prati market toune but fowle, and by the
salters howses be great stakkes of smaul clovyn woode to
sethe the salt water that thei make white salt of.
The salt water pitte is harde by the brinke of Dane river,
the wich within a good but-shott beneth runnith into Wyver. a
Apon the bank, betwixt the salt springging pitte and Dane
river, I saw Congleton, a market toun x. miles of, and
Maxwel Forest therby.
Ther be ii. salt springges at Middlewich, that stondith,
as I remembre, apon Dane river, and one at Nantwich, the
wich yeldith more salt water then the other iii. Wherfore
ther be at Nantwich a iii. hunderith salters.
A mile from Cumbremere Abbay in time of mind sank a
peace of a hille having trees on hit, and after in that pitte
sprang salt water, and the abbate ther began to make salt,
but the menne of the wichis componid with the abbay that
ther should be no salt made. The pitte yet hath salt water,
but much filth is faullen into hit.
The pittes be so set abowte with canales that the sake
water is facily derivid to every mannes howse.
And at the Nantwiche very many canales go over Wyver
river for the commodite of deriving the water to the salters
troughs. They sethe the salt water in furnesses of lede, and
lade out the salt some in ca[ses] of wiker, thorough the wich
the water voydith, and the salt remaynith. Ther be also a
ii. or iii. but veri litle salt s[prings] at Dertwiche in a low
botom, were sumtimes salt is [made.] Dertwich is a mile
and a half from M[alpass village] wher Syr Randol of Brere-
ton dwellith.

miles be cawse-way I rode over Waterlesse * and Pyverey * Cheshire,
river that be lykelihodde resort to Wyver, and yn this way
I cam by a park on the lifte hond, wher Mr. Leyrcestre
dwellith, (Table, b Mr. Leyrcestre place). Here about in a
mosse is fyrre woodde. And a iiii. miles farther I cam by
a parke on the lifte hond wher Master Bouth dwellith,
(Dunham Masse the name of Mr. Bouth howse in his
parke); and aboute that place by good culture is made veri
good corne ground, wher sumtime was very fernny and
commune grounde.
And therabout by Roston Chirch on the right hond is a
poole (Roston Mere) f of a ii. or iii. miles in lenght, very
plentiful of fische.
A iii. miles of I rode over Mersey Water by a great bridge
of tymbre caullid Crosford Bridge.
Within a iii. miles of Crosford Bridg on Mersey I cam
over the prati river of Bolyn, c that, as I lernid, risith about
Maxwel Forest, and goith a good way byneth Crosford
Bridge into Marsey.
This water of Mersey to the veri maine se departith Lancashire.
Chestreshire and Lancastreshire. So about a iii. miles to
Manchestre, in the wich way first I left Syr Alexandre Rad-
cliffes parke and house on the right hond (lift hond over
Irwel). But or I saw that I passid over Corne Brooke, and
after I touchid withyn a good mile of Manchestre by Mr.
Traiford's park and place. d
And after on the lift hond I saw Mr. Prestwikes place on
the lift hond over Irwel, wherby the Lord of Darby hath a
place, and a parke caullid Alparte parke. Here about I
passid over Medlok river, and so within lesse then a mile to
Manchestre.
Mancestre on the south side of Irwel River stondith in
Salfordshiret, and is the fairest, best buildid, quikkest, and
most populus tounne of al Lancastreshire; yet is in hit but

Lancashire, one paroch chirch, but is a college and almost thoroughowt
doble ilyd ex quadrato lapide durissimo, wherof a goodly
quarre is hard by the towne. Ther be divers stone bridgis
in the toune, but the best of iii. arches is over Irwel, cawllid
Salford bridge. This bridge devidith Manchestre from Sal-
ford, the wich is as a large suburbe to Manchestre. On this
bridge is a praty litle chapel. The next is the bridge that is
over Hirke a river, on the wich the fair builded [college]
fo. 83. standith as in the veri point of the mouth of hit. For hard
therby it renneth into Wyver. On Hirk river be divers fair
milles that serve the toune.
In the towne be ii. fair market placys.
And almost ii. flyte shottes withowt the towne beneth on
the same syde of Irwel yet be scene the dikes and funda-
tions of Old Man Castel b yn a ground now inclosid.
The stones of the ruines of this castel wer translatid to-
ward making of bridgges for the toune.
It is no long season sins the chirch of Manchestre was
collegiatid.
The toun of Manchestre stondith on a hard rokke of
stone, els Irwel, as wel apperith in the west ripe, had beene
noiful to the toune.
Irwel is not navigable but in sum places for vadys * and
rokkes.
Gumming from Manchestre toward Morle, c Syr William
Lelandes howse, I passid by enclosid grounde, partely pas-
turable, partely fruteful of corne, leving on the lift hand a
mile and more of a fair place of Mr. Langfordes, caullid
Agecroft, d and there is a bridge veri hy and greate off tymbre
on Irwel, and thereby is Pilketon 6 Park, and therin is a
stone howse of the Pylketons attayntid by King Henry the
vii. and givin to the Lorde of Darby. And within a ii. miles
of Morle on the same hand not far of a place of Master
Worseley of the Bouthe.
And so within a mile and sumwhat more of Mr. Leland's

Syr John Holcroftes house within a mile or more of Morle
stoode in jeopardi with fleting of the mosse.
Morle stondith in Leghe paroche a mile and more from

Riding a mile and more beyond Morle I saw on the right
hond a place nere by of Mr. Aderton, and so a ii. miles of
to Lidiate b Mosse, in the right side wherof my gide said that
ther were rootes of fyrre wood.
Abowt this Mosse I began to se a hille or hilles on the
right hond that stil continuid on the same hand as a mighty
long bank ontil I cam to Lancastre. One part of this hille
wher I saw it first is caullid Faierlokke. Butcommunely the
people therabout caullith hit Rivenpike. One told me that
aboute Lidiate Mosse under the hille is a village caullid
Riven or Riventon, stonding on a water caullid Anderton -
ford: and Anderton a gentilman having a place caullid
Andreton dwellithe therby, and Mr. Riventon's howse by
Riventon. Anderton water cummith into Duggles. d And
ther about I markid my self that ther was a coppe in the
hille as a bakke stondding up above the residue of the hille.
Then I cam over Dugles, communely caullid Duggels,

In Lelandshire be about an eight paroche chirchis, wherof
Leland f paroche is one, and, as I remembre, Standich another,

very directly apon Boleyn. The Lord Clynton is lorde of
the town of Folkestane. There cummeth to the towne a
prety smawl ryvelet that riseth yn Folchstan parche, long-
ing to the Lord Clynton, or not far beyownd yt. The towne
shore be al lykelihod is mervelusly sore wasted with the vio-
lens of the se; yn so much that there they say that one paroche
chyrch of our Lady, and a nother of S. Paule ys clene de-
stroyed and etin by the se. Hard apon the shore ys t a place
cawled the Castel Yarde, the which on the one side ys dyked,
and ther yn be great mines of a solenne old nunnery, yn the
walles wherof yn divers places apere great and long Briton
brikes; and on the right hond of the quier a grave trunce of
squared stone. The castel yard hath bene a place of great
burial; yn so much as wher the se hath woren on the banke
bones apere half stykyng owt. The paroch chyrch ys therby,
made also of sum newer worke of an abbay. Ther is S.
Eanswide buried, and a late therby was a visage of a priory.
Toward a quarter of a myle owt of the town is a chapel of
S. Botulfe on a likelyhod of farther building sumtyme. Yn
the towne ther is a maire; and this Lord Clynton's grant-

lesse then half a rayle of Lymme Hille. And yt may be well
supposed that after the haven of Lymme, and the great old
town ther fayled, that Hithe strayte therby encresed and was
yn price. Finally to cownt fro Westhyve to the place wher
the substans of the towne ys now ys ii. good myles yn lenght,
al along on the shore to the which the se cam ful sumtyme,
but now by bankinge of woose and great casting up of shyn-
gel the se ys sumtyme a quarter, sumtyme dim. a myle fro
the old shore. In the tyme of King Edward the 2. there
were burned by casuelte xviii. score howses and mo, and
stray t folowed great pestilens, and thes ii. thinges minished
the town. There remayne yet the ruines of the chyrches
and chyrch yardes. It evidently apereth that wher the
paroch chirch is now was sumtyme a fayr abbay. Yn the
quire be fayre and many pylers of marble, and under the
quier a very fair vaute, also a faire old dore of stone, by the
which the religius folkes cam yn at mydnight. In the top
of the chirch yard is a fayr spring, and therby ruines of
howses of office of the abbey; and not far of was an hospital
of a gentilman infected with lepre. The castel of Saltwood
is not past halfe a myle of, and at this day Hithe is but a
chapel perteining to Saltwood paroch. The havyn is a prety
rode, and liith meatly strayt for passage owt of Boleyn. a Yt
croketh yn so by the shore a long, and is so bakked fro the
mayn se with casting of shinggil, that smaul shippes may
cum up a larg myle toward Folkestan as yn a sure gut.

Rumeney is one of the v. portes, and hath bene a metely
good haven, yn so much that withyn remembrance of men
shyppes have cum hard up to the towne, and cast ancres yn
one of the chyrch yardes. The se is now a ii. myles fro the
towne, so sore therby now decayed that where ther wher iii.
great paroches and chirches sumtyme is now scant one wel
mayteined.
Rumeney marsch ys from Lymmehil upward a x. myles yn
lenght, and where yt is most bowt a v. myles yn bredeth,
and that as I suppose now is abowt the towne of Rumeney.
The marsch of Rumney encresith dayly yn breede. But yt
is not yn al places of lyke breede, for yn sum place yt is ii.
myles, yn sum iii. myles, yn sum iiii. and v. myles over. It is
a mervelus rank grownd for fedyng of catel, by the reason
that the gresse groweth so plentefully apon the wose sum-

Lydde is countid as a parte of Rumeney, is a iii.* myles
beyond Rumeney town, and is a market. The town ys of a
prety quantite, and the townesch men use botes to the se,
the which at this tyme is a myle of. The hole town is con-
teyned yn one paroche, but that is very large. In the mydde

marsch land beginneth to nesse and arme yn to the se, and Rumnty Bay.

masses to bete into plates to coyne, and [chay] nes of sylver.
And yn the old tyme the commune saying ys that the
bridge, where the commune passage was over the Tamise at
olde Kingston, was lower on the ryver then it is now. And
when men began the new town yn the Saxons tymes they
toke from ther very clive of Come parke side to builde on the
Tamise side : and sette a new bridge hard by the same. The
tounisch men of Kingston contend that wher their toun
chirche is now was sumtyme an abbay. But I se no likelihod
of it. For King Henry the second did appropriate their
chirch as a paroche chirche, not as abbay, priory or celle, to
Marten Abbay in Southerey.j: The tounisch men have certen
knowlege of a few kinges crounid ther afore the Conqueste;
and contende that 2. or 3. kinges were buried yn their
paroche chirch; but they can not bring no profe nor likeli-
hod of it. In the new toune by the Tamise side there is a
house yet caullid the Bisshopes Haulle. But now it is turnid
into a commune dwellinge house of a tounisch man. It was
sumtyme the Bisshop of Winchester's house : and as far as I
can conject sum bisshop, wery of it, did neglect this house,
and began to build at Assher b nere the Tamise side 2. or 3.
miles above Kingeston. Dyverse kinges have gyven great

Humfrede Foster, grandfather to Syr Humfrey Foster now
lyving, maried this Popham's doughter.
And I hard say that Wadham had not alonly equal parte
in division of Popham's landes, but also bycause his wife was
doughter to the second wife of Popham that was an inheritor
he had also the hole lande that movid by his mother, be-

Edmund Grim or, as modern biographers call him,
Edward wrote his important life of Thomas a Becket
between 1174 and 1177. Leland saw and read it when in

notice by Leland in his "Commentarii de Scriptoribus
Britannicis," Bodl. MS. Gen. Top. e 4, p. 177 (edited by
A. Hall, 1779, p. 218):
" Edmundus Grimaeus vir in literis optimis non infeli-
citer versatus, individuus Thomae Becketi Cantiani [comes]

NOTE TO PAGE 168
These extracts and abstract notes from a Chronicle appear
to have been made from the " Brut y Tywysogdion," or per-
haps from a similar chronicle founded upon that, in which
some items relating to the bishops of St. David's, from the
Annales Menevensis, were incorporated. Leland omitted all
dates save one, I have therefore added a few to serve as
stepping-stones, chiefly taken from Sir T. Hardy's notes in
Le Neve's Fasti, vol. i, pp. 288-290.

APPENDIX III
See the Second Facsimile
IN the manuscript of Leland's " Collectanea," vol. iii, there
is one page which concerns the Channel Islands, viz.,
page 1 1 6. The manuscript is of small folio size; on this page
was drawn a rough map of the islands and parts of the
neighbouring coasts of England and France; with the names
of the islands, the distances between some of them, and one
or two remarks, all in a cursive hand much differing from
Leland's. The blank spaces between the isles were after-
wards filled up by Leland himself with annotations in every
direction, giving various bits of information for each locality;
the map itself being thus much obscured. Hearne repro-
duced the whole just as it stands, in an engraved plate of
remarkable fidelity, which occurs in both editions ("Collec-
tanea," 1715, 1774). I have thought it well to add this page
to the " Itinerary," having already brought in from the same
volume the analogous treatment save the map of Mona
(Anglesea) to the volume on Wales (see Appendix B).
There is here, as in that case, nothing to show that Leland
himself went to the Channel Islands. It is more probable
that he obtained much of his information about these islands
from Thomas Sulmo (otherwise Soulemont), the French
secretary to Henry VIII in 1532, and secretary to Cromwell
in 1538, who, as he informs us in one of these notes, was
born at a spot which his mark shows to be at, or near,
St. Aubyns in Jersey. Thomas Sulmo, as Leland calls him,
was much about the Court, as well as Clerk to the Parlia-
ments (A. E. Pollard in Diet. Nat. Biog.), and was no doubt
on friendly terms with Leland,* who refers to him in other
[* In his " Encomia Illustrium virorum" ("Collectanea," ed. 1774,
183
1 84 LELAND'S ITINERARY
places as authority for several statements on English families
(see before pp. 88, in, 118, 119, 143 note). Sulmo died in
Leland did not claim in his " New Year's Gift " to have
seen the islands of Britain among the long enumeration of
places he had visited, but he tells the King that he intended
" to distribute ynto vj bokes such matter as I have all ready
collected concerning the isles adjacent to your noble realm
and under your subjection." Three of these " books " were to
deal with the Isle of Wight, the Isle of Man, and Anglesea,
the Channel Islands not being mentioned.* This work,
however, does not appear to have been written, and I find
no further reference to the Channel Islands in either the
" Itinerary " or the " Collectanea," except the mention by
the Tewkesbury chronicler of the grant of Guernsey and
Jersey to the young Henry Earl of Warwick, among other
favours by Henry VI. See before, p. 160.
For greater ease in the study of this page I print the notes
apart, connecting them by letters of reference added to the
simple map, which represent in several instances marks of
reference made by Leland. The words in italics were those
first written by the unknown hand, the rest are Leland's
notes.

Sulmonem, Henrico Octavo, Angliae Regi, ab epistolis Gallicis.
Tu mihi doctrinam tribuis laudemque diserti,
Et celebras longo nomen honore meum.
Non ego, mi Sulmo, tali me dignor honore,
Laurea nominibus convenit ista tuis."
I owe the indication of these to Colonel Mills, of Grouville, Jersey,
who has also reproduced the map and notes, giving further illustrative
notes, in his paper on " Cartographic Jersiase " (Bulletin of the Societe*
Jersiase, 1908).]

rast used by Leland for the Race of Alderney was, as a known term,
employed in a Latin form by the unknown scribe to designate the island
from the peculiar tides and strong currents which exist between it and
its larger neighbour? This Latinizing of local terms was not unusual in
earlier centuries ; a relic of the practice in Tudor times may have been
possible. Sir E. Maunde Thompson, to whom I referred the question,
is, however, doubtful about my explanation ; he suggests that the scribe
may have copied these words from some document where the descrip-
tion was really "insula pastorum," but \h&\. pastorum was indistinctly
written, with the / and a so run together that he copied it rastorum.
This supposition, which commends itself to students in palaeography,
throws us back on the flat inland features of the island, and the probable
(though uncertain) meaning of Burhou (burorburon, Normandy patois,
a small house or hut ; holmes, houlm> Scandinavian, an isle surrounded
by water), the island of small houses or habitations, where shepherds
may have dwelt. My best thanks are due for kind assistance over this
problem, towards the solution of which I offer these two attempts.

[t The construction of this note is somewhat obscure ; Hearne, too,
found a difficulty, as he added, below Leland's words, " Haec verba
ita plane concipiuntur in MS."
It is a statement made on the authority of Thomas Sulmo (or Soule-
mont) whose name stands at the head, and may be translated thus,
" Whereas in the time of John the empire and wide dominion of the king
of England had decreased, he took care among other things, having
accepted an agreement (or treaty) with the French, that he should re-
tain the islands firmly for himself."
Mr. E. A. Freeman says : " When continental Normandy was lost
by John, the insular part of the Duchy was still retained, and it has
ever since remained a possession of the English Crown" ("Norman
Conquest," i, p. 212). King John died in 1216; the islands had be-
longed to Normandy since the tenth century, but the first treaty with
France officially recognizing the English possession of the Channel

Three partial lines to indicate distances, with the measures,

Casquets "thre canning";* between the Casquets and
Guernsey "a kenning"; between Guernsey and Jersey

of Queen's College, Oxford, who has courteously permitted
the use of his fine facsimile of Leland's page for reproduc-
tion here.
