PRINTBD BY JOHN CLAY, M.A.
AT THS UNIVBRSITY P&ESS.

PREFACE.

SOME years ago, my friend the late Professor Maitland
sug^ested to me that I should edit the Memoranda
Ecclesie de Bemewellej a manuscript which I had often
consulted, and of which I happened to possess a transcript
When therefore the Syndics of the University Press asked
me to edit the book for them, I consented with pleasure —
a pleasure which was enhanced by Maitland's kindness in
saying that he would assist me. This promise he more
than fulfilled. In all my difficulties — and they were not
few — his marvellous knowledge of the Middle Ages, whether
in the matter of law, or customs, or proper names, was
always at my disposal. He read all the proof-sheets,
sometimes twice, and thereby saved me from innumerable
errors. For those which still lurk in the text the blame
must be counted as not his, but mine.

I take a melancholy pleasure in drawing special attention
to Maitland's Introduction. He wrote it in the course of last
summer, and corrected the final proof at the end of the
Michaelmas Term, retuming it to me on the day before
he sailed for Grand Canary. I have printed it as it was
written, though this course involves some repetition of
matter which I was obliged to include in my own
Introduction. But I could not bear to omit or to alter a
single word of his ; and I am certain that those who read it will
bc glad to have it in its entirety, for it is one of the most
brilliant performances of the briiliant writer whose loss we
are now deploring. Would that he could have seen the

292569

vi Preface

whole work in its complete form, for he was keenly in-
terested in it, not merely for the legal cases, but even more
for the minute records in the Sixth and Seventh Books,
where the villages in Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire
(in part) are enumerated, with the duties which each holder
of land was bound to perform, and the payments he was
bound to make.

In the next place I wish to return my very cordial thanks
to my friend, W. J. Corbett, M.A., Fellow of King^s CoUege,
who supplied me with the English names of the places
mentioned in the Sixth Book, and also corrected the Index,
and gave me much assistance in drawing up the Glossary.
I was anxious to make this latter as fuU as possible,
especially in legal terms, the significance of which can only
be properly expressed by one who is both an antiquary and
a lawyer — a combination which I have had the good fortune
to discover in Mr Corbett Further, before I leave the
Glossary, I wish to thank Professor Skeat for assistance
for which I cannot be sufficiently grateful.

I have also to thank G. J. Tumer, Esq., Barrister at law,
for many references to the Rolls of Assize and other public
documents ; Arthur Gray, M.A, Fellow and Tutor of Jesus
Coll^e, for information respecting the River Cam and the
Castle ; M, R. James, LittD., Provost of King's College,
and C. E. Sayie, M.A., of St John's Coliege, for help and
encouragement on many occasions.

INTRODUCTION.

BY THE EDITOR.
I. The Manuscript.

The inanuscript of this work, the greater part of which
is now printed for the first time, is preserved in the British
Museum (MSS. Harl. 3601 )^ It is written on vellum, in a
large, uniform, and very clear hand. Unfortunately it is
not dated, but intemal evidence enables us to supply this
deficiency.

The list of rents, tenants, etc, given in Book VI L, is
dated 1295 (p. 282). Again, in the life of Edward I,
the last event recorded is the second Welsh war (p. 63),
ending with the surrender of Madoc, May, 1295. After
this two-thirds of a page are left blank. Further on
the arrival of two papal legates is recorded as having
taken place anno dotnini M^.CCy, nonagesimo quinto
(P« 235) » ^^^ finaliy, on the next leaf (fol. 91) the

' A free translation of a considerable pOTtion of this work forms the

1786. His work was used by Mr Marmaduke Prickett for his Some Accaunt
af Bamweii Priory^ 8vo, Cambridge, 1837. Mr Prickett, by a strange blunder,
sUtes that the original MS. is in the Bodleian Library, Oxford. The MS.
there preserved relates solely to the Manor of Chesterton. In its present state
it bcgins in the sixth year of Edward I (1277 — 78), and then proceeds
rcgnlarly to the last year of his reign (1306 — 7), at the end of which we read :
Ezplicit annns zxxv^ R.E. fil* Regis Henrici. £t sic expliciunt omnes gersume
&cte in Coria de Cestreton per singulos annos Regni ipsius Regis Edwardi
a primo videlicet vsque ad vltimum." The MS. deals next with the whole
tcign of Edward II (1307 — 37); and ends in the forty-fcmrth year of
Edward III (1370—71). Originally it had covered a space of just ninety-nine
years, from 1171— 137J.

X Introduction

imprisonment of John of Balliol in the Tower, i Aug. 1296
(P- 237). With this event the book terminates. The text
was originally succeeded by three blank leaves, evidently
intended for future matters of interest, should such occur,
but which are now occupied by documents in a later hand.
We may conclude, therefore, that the work was b^un in
1295, and completed in July or August, 1296. The writer
of the MS. was evidently not the author, for there are
numerous clerical errofs — words omitted in the text and
inserted in the margin — words written twice — and occasion-
ally curious misspellings, as though the scribe did not
understand Latin, or only imperfectly.

11. The Contents.

This manuscript is the principal authority for the
history of the Augustinian Priory at Barnwell, near Cam-
bridge. It has been often quoted, and is usually referred
to as " The Barnwell Cartulary," " The Barnwell R^ister,"
or, "The Barnwell Ledger Book." These titles are all
more or less misleading, and it is better to adopt the
author*s own title : Liber memorandorum ecclesie de Bem-
welle, that is, " The book of those things relating to the
church of Barnwell which are worthy of recollection,** On
this point I will translate a few lines from his prologue

(P. 37) :

Wherefore, in order that the servants of God may the more
readily, by the help of God Almighty, escape out of the hands of
wicked men, having regard to the fact that human memory is
defective, it is worth while to reduce to writing certain things which
may he useful to our churcb, and by inspection of this littie book, may
help our brethren, both present and to come, when difficulties arise,
and they are persecuted by a cniel world. May the Grace of the
Holy Spirit therefore lend his aid to bring this work to a suitable
conclusion.

The contents of the eight books into which the work is
divided are by no means confined to documents relating to
property, or to benefits conferred by Popes, Kings, Bishops,
and benefactors in general ; nor are daily or yearly events

By the Ediior xi

recorded after the manner of a Register. On the contrary,
matters of the most varied nature and interest are set down
as they came to hand, without any attempt at chrono-
l(^cal order. This practice of our author causes
considerable difficulty to those who are in search of a
particular document, or who wish to extract from his pages
a continuous history of the House. He has prefixed to
the whole work a table of contents, but it is merely a list
of the rubrics to the chapters, and gives no dates. I have
therefore constructed a chronological summary (printed at
the end of this Introduction), in which I have enumerated
the principal events recorded in the Memoranda, with the
pages on which each will be found. Further, I have tried
to make the Index as full as possible, especially under the
head Barnwell, where I have sorted the matter chrono-
logically. This Index will perhaps appear needlessly
elaborate; but, having regard to the interest taken in
personal names, and also not forgetting the example
set by the Index to the Hundred Rolls^ I have included
in it evcry name which occurs in the text, whether of a
person or a place.

Among the "things worthy of recoUection " legal
matters, as might be expected, hold a prominent place, but
about them I need not say another word, for I am so
fortunate as to be able to iay before my readers a disser-
tation by the late Professor Maitland (as I have mentioned
in the Preface) in which they are discussed and explained
with even more than his usual clearness and vivacity. He
has, in fact, written a commentary on the contents
of the first three books, which those who wish to under-
stand them thoroughly should refer to as they read.
Each case, if of sufficient importance to call for comment,
receives just the amount of elucidation required to dissolve
the mist of legal technicalities, and to set forth its relation
to the history of the Priory or to the law of the kingdom, in
language which all can understand.

The First Book opens with an account of the foundation
of the House, which excites a hope that a detailed history

xii Introduction

is before us. But presently the author wanders off into
notes on the first nine kings of England, and the book ends
with a similar series on the twelve Priors who enter into his
narrative.

At the beginntng of the Second Book the affairs of
Chesterton are dealt with; next we have the grant of
Midsummer Fair, followed by many diverse matters, the
most important of which is the benefaction of William de
Kilkenny, Bishop of Ely, to the University of Cambridge,
of which the Prior and Convent were, in fact, only trustees.

The Third Book is chiefly occupied with l^al matters
arising out of the different properties owned by the Prior
and Convent

The Fourth Book deals with the assessments of Church
property made in the thirteenth century; with special
reference to the spiritualities and temporalities of the
Priory, to shew the assessed value of each property, and
the amount at which it was taxed.

The historical part of the work ends with the Fourth
Book, but to many persons the information given in the
Sixth and Seventh Books will be even more interesting.
It should be mentioned, before describing them, that the
Fifth Book contains only extracts from the Statutes of the
Realm, and, as these are readily accessible, it has not been
thought either necessary or desirable to print it

The Sixth Book contains a copy of what may best be
described as "an official memorandum of local dues and
rates,'' made about the year 1230, for the use of the sheriff
of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire, setting forth,
hundred by hundred, and village by village, the various
manors in his bailiwick, with the names of their owners, the
tenure by which they were held, the number of hides at which
they were assessed, which of these hides were geldable, that
is, liable for rates and amercements, and which were not,
how and by whom each estate ought to acquit itself of
its liability to do suit to the courts of the county and the
hundred, and, lastly, what sums, if any, were due from each
in respect of castle guard, pontage, SherifTs aid, and the still

By the Editar xiii

more ancient due known as *ward penny' (pp. 238 — 272).
This is succeeded by a statement of what was due for "view
of frankpledge" from the vills in the various hundreds
(pp. 273 — 279) ; and this again by the amount of SherifTs
aid payable in each hundred (p. 280). The reason for this
enumeration is set forth in the prologue to the Sixth Book,
which is worth translating (p. 238) :

In several hundreds the Prior of Barnwell has lands and tenements,
services and homages, customs and villeins ; but, as the servants of the
Sberiif often distrain of their own accord and unjustly, distraining
some whom they ought to pass over, and sparing others who ought of
right to be distrained, in order to prevent the Prior or his tenants
being in the (uture oppressed unjustly by distraints of this kind for
suits in the courts of the county or the hundred, SberifT's aid or ward-
penny, it seemed useful to write down in this little work the names of
the hundreds, the tenants, and the tenements which ought to perform
services of this sort, and have been in the habit of performing them
from ancient days. And in future it will not be a man's duty on
account of such distraint to go to the Castle to inspect the SherifTs
roU, but he may look into this book and gain his informatiom from it.

In the Seventh Book we return to the Prior and
Convent of Bamwell, and we find that it contains a fuli
list of all their tenants. Here again I will transiate a
short passage from the prologue (p. 282) :

As the Prior of Bamwell has some free tenants and some villeins,
who owe him services and customs, it appears useful to set down in
this little bodk the names of all his tenants, their rents, their services,
tbe viU in which they live, their laws, and the places where they can
be distrained, according to what certain information can be discovered
abottt tbese matters at this time, namely, in the year of our Lord 1295,
and in the year since Simon de Ascellis became Prior the thirty
first

The Eighth Book is wholly occupied with a Consue-
tudinariufH, or Book of Observances, of the Augustinian
Order. As this book has been already edited, with a
translation and notes, by the editor of this work^ it has
been decided not to reprint it.

XIV Introduction

Before I pass to other matters I should like to say a
few words on the author of the Memoranda. He gives no
hint as to who he was, but it is obvious that he must have
been at least a canon of the House, and probably one who
held some high office, for in no other way could he have
had access to the documents and private matters with
which he deals. It is probable that he based his work
on that of a previous historian ; for, when he is telling the
story of Prior Domesman's generosity in giving his father^s
land to the House (p. 98), he says : " so wrote Canon
Guarinus/' but he evidently has doubts about his accuracy,
for he adds : " I do not remember to have seen the deed of
gift." That he examined originals is obvious from the
way in which he notes minute particulars — as the colour
of the wax of which a Royal Seal was made, and its
condition. He may have been a student in the
neighbouring University, for he was evidently a leamed
person, who wrote a good style, and was well acquainted
with classical Latin. Whoever he was, the epithets which
he applies to Prior Gerard (p. 64), when he calls him
pleasant, and very good humoured (jucundus et hyllaris
valde\ might have been applied with justice to himself.
There is, of course, what I may call a professional tone
about a good deal of his narrative ; the world is very evil ;
the monastic orders are the objects of a cruel persecution ;
the hand of every man is against them ; and almost any
weapon may justifiably be used by them to combat their
enemies. But, when allowance has been made for the
introduction of these unavoidable phrases, how even is
the flow of his narrative; how admirably he describes
an event ; what humorous touches he introduces when
occasion allows of it. In support of what I have said let
me cite his description of the buming of the church-tower
(p. 220) ; his account of what befell at Wiggenhall, when
Prior Jolan and some of his canons were set upon by
thieves, and barely escaped with their lives (pp. 1 19 — 121) ;
the evident amusement with which he tells the story of the
worn-out horse sent as a present to a great man (p. 126);

By the Editor xv

his chuckle at the escape of the Prior's woodcutter, who
proved a convenient altin in the matter of a murder, " the
Prior having been careful on behalf of hiniself and his
friends with the coroner, who got together a good panel "
(p. 145); and lastly, his naivetd in setting down the
gratiiications, one might almost say the bribes, with which
the Prior secured the good will of the Justices Itinerant in
1286 (p. 171).

III. The Succession of the Priors.

It will be hardly necessary to attempt a sketch of the
general history of Bamwell Priorj", or even of the archi-
tectural history of the church and buildings, for I have
mtentionally made the Chronological Summary so full that
it will be easy to find in it any event or series of events
that may be required. On the other hand it is necessary
to state carefully my reasons for placing the Priors as I
have done, for our author's besetting infirmity, a disregfard
of dates, is responsible for a good deal of confusion with
regard to them.

No certain date occurs until we reach the account of
William of Devon, sixth Prior, from whom we must first
work backwards, and then forwards again. We read of him
that

he woold have done mucb good in temporal as well as in spiritual
matters, if the Lord had granted him a tranquil life ; but, during his
tenure of office, the whole of England and Wales was under a general
interdict...He died in the year of our Lord 12 13, and in the sixth year
of theinterdict^.

As this interdict b^an 23 March, 1208, part of the year
12 13 would fall within the sixth year of its duration, as
stated above. William of Devon was elected in the first
year of the interdict, 1208, if I am right in taking " tempore
ejus " to mean his tenure of office, and the whole sentence
to signify that the said tenure and the interdict began
together ; and he died 25 May, 12 13'.

^ Book I. Ch. 44, p. 67.

' The precise date of his death is given in the accoont of his successor, Ib.
Ch. 45, p. 67.

xvi Introdtution

His predecessor Robert, fifth Prior, held office for
thirty-three years. He was therefore elected in 1 175 \

Hugh Domesman, fourth Prior, died " in the twentieth
year after he had taken office'." He was therefore elected
in 1155.

Richard Norel, third Prior, who resigned " within two
years"," was therefore elected in 11 53.

Of the remaining two Priors we are told that Geoffi-ey,
first Prior, " ruled the church for twenty years, and after
their translation to Bamwelle died, full of years, and in
great sanctity*." As the foundation took place in 1092 we
are obliged to place Geoffi-ey^s death in 1 1 12, the very year
of the removal to Barnwell. Of the length of time during
which Gerard, second Prior, held office, no word is said ;
and we are therefore obliged to assign to him the whole
interval between the death of Geoffi^ and the election of
Richard Norel, namely, forty-one years. But, if a longer
time ought to be assigned to William of Devon, Prior Gerard*s
time may be shortened. Before we can do that, however,
we must await further information. Until then the suc-
cession and dates of the first six Priors will be as follows :

1. Geoffi-ey, 1092 — 11 12.

2. Gerard, 11 12 — 11 53.

3. Richard Norel, 1153—1155.

4. Hugh Domesman, 1155 — 1175.

5. Robert, 1175 — 1208.

6. William of Devon, 1208— 12 13.

We will next investigate the remaining six Priors.
After the death of William of Devon (25 May, 1213) ^he
office remained vacant until 23 October, when the sacrist,
William of Bedford, was elected seventh Prior*. He died
almost immediately afterwards, and his successor, Richard
de Burgh, eighth Prior, had an equally short tenure of
office*.

The canons next elected as ninth Prior Laurence de
Stansfield who had been chaplain to his three predecessors.

By the Editor xvii

He died, an old man, " in the thirty-eighth year of his
office^" His death may therefore be placed in 125 1.

Henry of Eye, tenth Prior, " in his third year of office
placed his resignation in the hands of the official of the see
of Canterbury, during a vacancy of the see of Ely*." The
vacancy here mentioned must be that which occurred after
the death of Hugh Northwold, 6 August, 1254, whose
successor, William of Kilkenny, though elected, according
to Bentham, "about the middle of October, 1254*," was not
consecrated until 15 August, 1255. The see was therefore
without a Bishop for a full year, and the Prior's resignation
roay have taken place either at the end of 1254 or the
b^nning of 1255.

The successor to Henry of Eye, Jolan of Thorley,
eleventh Prior, " in the eleventh year of his tenure of office
as Prior, resigned it into the hands of the Bishop of Ely*."
Accordingly he was Prior from 1254 or 1255 to 1265 or
1266; and our chronology would be perfectly simple if we
had no other evidence than this to deal with. But, among
the vexations which ruined his health was the outrage at
Wiggenhall ; and the rubric of the chapter in which that
event is recorded (p. 1 19) runs as follows : De predaciotie
de Wygenhale anno regni regis H, Jij^, ; that is to say it
is placed between 28 October, 1267, and 27 October, 1268,
or a year too late.

Further, his successor Simon de Ascellis, who ought
perhaps to be called Simon of Ashley, twelfth Prior,
resigned 24 June, 1297', having been Prior "for thirty years
and more {per triginta annos et ampliiisy a length of office
which places his accession in 1267, or in 1266, according to
the sense we assign to the words et amplius, I am inclined
to think that the simplest way out of the difficulty is to
suppose that a wrong date has been inserted into the rubric
quoted above; and that for Jij'^ we should read Jj\ — an

alteration which would place the outrage at Wiggenhall
between October, 1266, and October, 1267, and make the
eiection of Prior Simon take place in 1266, from which
date '' thirty years and more " bring us without difficulty
to 1297.

The correctness of this view is confirmed by what is
said about the circumstances of his election. We are told
(p. 73) that " the aforesaid Symon assumed the habit of
a canon on the day of the Translation of S. Aug^stine
(6 September), and on the same day, after ten years had
elapsed, was elected Prior (Pastory* As he resigned at
Midsummer, 1 297, thirty years from that date would bring
us to Midsummer, 1267; but, as he was elected in
September, we may allow him a further tenure of nine
months, which is justified by the words et amplius^ and
consider him to have been elected Prior 6 September, 1266.

There is, however, another difficulty, namely, that the
list of tenants in Book VII. was drawn up 'Mn 1295, and in
the year since Symon de AsceUis became Prior the 3ist"
(p. 282). May we dedde that this statement was made
from memory, and is therefore inaccurate.^

The following dates may be assigned to the last six
Priors who enter into our narrative :

7. William of Bedford, 1213.

8. Richard de Burgh, 12 13.

9. Laurence de Stanesfeld, 1213 — 1251.

10. Henry of Eye, 1251 — 1254.

11. Jolan de Thorley, 1255 — 1266.

12. Symon de Ascellis, 1266 — 1297.

IV. The Town of Cambridge.

The town of Cambridge at the end of the thirteenth
century was so very different from the same place at the
present day, that I have decided to attempt a brief
description of it as it then appeared, illustrated by a plan
slightly altered from that which was prepared for the
Architectural History.

I will suppose a stranger to approach Cambridge from
the north-west, along the Huntingdon Road. After passing
the village of Girton, then called Gretton, he would soon
reach the hamlet of Howes or le Howes (pp. 282, 283), the
name of which still survives in Howe House. On getting
close to Cambridge the first object he would see would be
the stone cross at Castle End, and near it, on his right, the
parish church of All Saints, called AU Saints by the
Castle, to distinguish it from AU Saints in the Jewry. It
stood in an extensive churchyard, and must have been
almost, if not quite, within the precincts of the castle
as first laid out ; but it is evident that subsequently the
castle was restricted to narrower limits ; for in the first
place the high road passes right through the centre of the
site; and, secondly, in the list of tenements belonging to
the convent we find "a messuage with a grange next to
it " (p. 283), and a little further on two granges (p. 284), all
** opposite the church of AU Saints," and therefore close to
thc castle as it stood in 1297. At no great distance from
the church, on the opposite side of the road, our visitor
would see the castle itself.

This fortress^ begun, as it is said, by William the
Conqueror in 1068, had recently been repaired by Edward
the First (p. 167). His work, the extent of which it is
impossible now to estimate, had been begun in 1283, and
was still proceeding in 128S (ib. note), In connexion with
these works a very important passage occurs in the
Memoranda (pp. 167, 168) describing the extent of the
castle precincts, which Mr Gray (in the paper referred to 1»
the last note) was the first to translate and explain. I shall
therefore give his version of the passage, with so much
of his commentary as is necessary for the right under-

standing of it, referring my readers for the rest to his paper,
which well deserves careful study.

At the close of the itineration of the Justices there came many
king^s briefs of Quo waranto, For, two years previously, the king, by
advice of John de Kirkeby, had begun Cambridge Castle. Whereof, by
the king^s precept inquisition was made by free lieges of the county
concerning the Castle bounds, who, having been swom, made a peram-
bulation of it. Beginning at the place called Armeswerk they went
round the /ossatum of the Castle, ascending as far as the place called
Aswykstofty and then descending they passed through the middle of
the curia of the scholars of Merton through the old fossatum as far
as the nver. And at last retuming they gave answer on their oath that
all this circuit belonged to the Castle bounds. On this occasion came
king^s briefs of Q^o waranto addressed severally to all who dwelt
beyond the bridge in the Castle quarter. This caused universal alarm.

Mr Gray suggests that Armeswerk was probably "a
barbican on the river bank, protecting the river front of the
castle and the bridge from assault of an enemy proceeding
up stream '* ; and he has pointed out to me that the same
word is used in the Chronicle of the monastery at Ely called
Liber Eliensis to designate the spot at which the messengers
sent by Sexburga found a marble sarcophagus fit to contain
the body of her sister Etheldreda :

They came to a small town, then in ruins, at no great distance
[from Ely], called in English Grantecester. And while they wcre
walking to and fro in much tribulation, they found, at a place which
even to the present day is called Armeswerch, a sarcophagus of white
marble, etc*

Mr Gray further shews, on the evidence of a terrier
.among the muniments of Jesus CoUege which was originally
drawn up in the reign of Edward the Third, the position of
Aswykston :

Ashwyke stone y^ by y« hie crosse at y« Castle end, south weste of
y« stone crosse, as it were a quayste cast of, hentingedon waye
betwixt, and is nowe a hill, and once stood y^ on a lyttle stomped
crosse.

" A quoit throw," adds Mr Gray, " is usually considered
to be 19 yards. Aswykston stood at this distance S.W. of

the stone cross which was on the eastem side of the
Huntingdon Road opposite the point where it is joined by
the road now known as Pleasant Row, anciently Hare
HilL"

Mr Gray then discusses the position of the other points
mentioned in the above passage, but, as I have determined
to avoid details as far as possible in this Introduction,
I will merely say that, after pointing out that the jurors,
being local men, could not have made a mistake in pure
ignorance, he argues that the vetus fossatum which crossed
Bridge Street opposite to the site now occupied by
Magdalene College, was once a navigable stream ; and
in support of this view he cites a further passage from the
Memaranda (p. 99) giving the evidence of a very aged
palmer-pilgrim "who said that he had seen ships {tuwes)
come almost up to the door of S. Giles' church."

On leaving the castle and descending the hill our visitor
would see on his right the Httle church of S. Peter, and on
his lefl, in the angle between the road along which he was
walking, and a track which led eastwards to Chesterton,
the somewhat larger church of S. Giles. This is the
church built by Pycot and his wife in 1092, adjoining which
was the first house for their Canons (pp. 39, 46) in which
they resided until Pain Peverel gave them " thirteen acres
in the fields of Cambridge round the springs of Bamwell "
(p. 43). The ground between this church and the river
was claimed by the Prior in 1286 as the gift of Countess
Matilda to his convent (p. 168).

From this point where four ways meet — the Carfax
of Cambridge — ^a very short space of street leads down to
the river at the point where the Great Bridge now stands.
In the thirteenth century the ancient ford had been
replaced by a bridge, of course of wood ; and in 1279 the
commissioners of Edward I found that it was *' so broken
and dislocated that the carriages of noble persons and
others fall into the water in such a way that both men and
horses come to the surface with difficulty*."

xxii Introduction

If our stranger looked down stream he vvould catch
a distant glimpse of one of the most important of the
Commons, Greencroft, of which more below; and about 150
yards below the Bridge he would see the King*s Ditch
opening into the river. This ditch, a very important
boundary in the Middle Ages, as it marked the limit
of what Professor Maitland calls " the urban nucleus," will
be fully described below, as well as the Fields which lay
beyond it

The view up stream would be more interesting, and
even from that point would give some idea of the im-
portance of the River Cam in those days as a highway,
along which fuel and provender of all sorts were brought to
Cambridge. Close to the Bridge, on the left bank, was
probably the wharf which still exists under the name
of Fisher Lane, and beyond, if I am right in supposing
that the houses near the river were of insignificant size,
he might catch a glimpse of Cornhythe, otherwise Dame
NichoFs Hythe (p. 289). This must have been a specially
important wharf, for it had a lane all to itself opening out
of High Street, called afterwards King^s Hall Lane, but in
earlier days the road to Dame Nichors Hythe. The plan
shews other hythes — ^as for instance Flaxhythe and
Salthythe — names which indicate that each commodity had
its own wharf

From the Bridge a visitor who looked up stream would
also get a view across part of the arable ground, the
Western Fields of Cambridge. It is possible that in the
thirteenth century some portion of thesie Fields, that
for instance nearest to the River, had been turned into
pasture ; but, before hedgerows had come into being, and
the cornfields basked in sunshine unbroken by rows of
trees, it would be possible to see from the Great Bridge
a long stretch of open land with its strips belonging
to different owners, and therefore cultivated with a
considerable variety both of produce and of method.

From the Bridge would also be visible the fish-ponds
which in those days belonged to S. John's Hospital, and

By the Editor xxiii

afterwards passed to S. John's College with its other
possessions; and the fine Norman dwelling-house which

■

bears the absurd name of School of Pythagoras — part
of the property of the Scholars of Merton, which their
founder took the precaution of buying in case they should
prefer Cambridge to Oxford as a permanent place for
study*.

Before we leave the Great Bridge let us constder for
a moment the very interesting question of the number
of houses which the town contained in the thirteenth
century ; and especially the number to be assigned to the
district which we have just left, and which in the
Memaranda (p. 282) is styled "Beyond Bridge {Ultra
pontemy*

Domesday Book tells us that Grentebrige contained
400 houses divided into ten wards ; that of those 400 houses
27 had been destroyed to make room for the castle ; and
that two of the ten wards had been thrown together. It
has usually been the custom to assume that all these
houses and wards were transpontine ; but this view has
been contested by Professor Maitland', who has made
a careful analysis of the Cambridge of the Hundred Rolls,
and shews that in 1279 the whole town had only about 550
houses, of which not more than 72 were allotted to the three
transpontine parishes of S. Giles, S. Peter, and All Saints.
He states his view in the following brilliant passage :

I see the Grentebrige of the Confessor*s day as a very sparse
grofip of houses. I should not be surprised if it already reached as
for souih as the King^s Ditch of later days, and if only two or three of
its ten wards were transpontine. At this time a vill of 40 houses was
rather large than small. Cambridge had 400. Take the house-
bedecked nucleus of an ordinary village and magnify it ten-fold ; it
will cover a good space of ground. I would not suggest that the
nacleus of a borough was as loosely compacted as was the nucleus of
a covnmon vill ; but we must leave much room for what we should call
farm buildings, for orchards and little crofts K

xxiv Introductian

Orchards and little crofts. Professor liaidand m^t
have added gardens to this enumeration ; for a glance at
the plans of coUege sites given in The ArckiUctural
History will shew how many gardens there were in what we
should now call the centre of the town ; and a similar
result will be attained by a study of the large bird's-eye
view of Cambridge made by John Hamond, and dated
1592. If there were still large tracts of garden-ground at
that date, nearly 300 years after the period we are now
considering, afartiori there were such in 1279.

We will now suppose our vtsitor to leave the Great
Bridge, and to walk down Bridge Street This street
was probably as crowded in the Middle Ages as at present,
periiaps more so. The town of that day drawing its
supplies from the river, as I have already pmnted out, and
also from the neighbouring country, would be fiill of carts
and pack horses. When Loggan's views were drawn this
was still the case ; but in the thirteenth century, when the
townspeople were confined within the oval space between
the river and the King^s Ditch, the unpaved streets (p. 227)
must have been fiUed to overflowing with carriages, carts,
horses, wayfarers, stru^ling as best they could thraugh the
mud and dirt, for scavengers did not exist in those days.
Our stranger would presently pass, on his left, the Church
of S. Clement, with, probably, not many houses on each side
of it On his right the houses would be more numerous,
because more convenient Behind them was the river —
the highway — to which each could have private access.
When he reached the Norman Church of S. Sepulchre,
or Round Church, where two streets meet, he would
naturally tum down High Street, for if he selected the
other, he would soon reach the outskirts of the town, close
to the present Post Office.

On his left, as he tumed into High Street, was the
Jewry, often alluded to in the Memoratuku I do not know
how far it extended, but the church of AU Saints there
situated, is always called Ecdtsia OmniHm Sanctarum im
Judaismo^ or, AllHalowes in thejewry^ to distinguish it from

By the Editor xxv

its fellow near the castle. The quarter of which the Jewry
formed a part was of considerable extent, and in form
roughly triangular. The two sides were formed by Bridge
Street and High Street respectively, and the base by
Shoemaker Row — now Market Street. Another church,
that of S. Michael, stood near its southwest corner ; but,
with the exception of this church and that of All Saints
previously recorded, it was made up of dwelling-houses and
their gardens. Many centuries were to elapse before it was
crossed by any thoroughfare. When Hamond's plan was
drawn (1592) there was a passage leading into the church-
yard of All Saints from the east, but that was all.

On the opposite or west side of High Street were
a number of side-streets, all leading down to the river, and
shewing, by their frequency, how important it was to obtain
access to it at various .points. These lanes, for they hardly
deserve a better name, succeeded each other from north to
south ift the following order : S. John's Lane, on the north
bo^der of the Hospital of S. John, founded in or about 1 135
for Augustinian Canons, who devoted themselves to tending
thc sick; the road to Dame Nichors Hythe, already
tnentioned ; S. MichaePs Lane ; Henny Lane ; Glomery
Lane; Piron Lane; S. Austin's Lane; and Plutes Lane
(p. 289) or Nuts Lane.

Our stranger shall go down S. Michael's Lane, which
still exists, and is probably as narrow now as it was in the
thirteenth century. He would presently see, on his right,
a muddy lane graphically called Le Foule Lane, which at
that period was unimportant, but a quarter of a century
later was to contain Michael House, and soon afterwards to
give access to King^s Hall. This Lane would offer no
attractions ; and he would either pass on to Flaxhythe,
situated, not on the river, but on a branch of it which
bounded the island called Garret Hostel Green on the
east— or follow S. MichaeFs Lane, which soon turned at
right angles to its former course, and became Milne Street.
On his right was Garret Hostel Lane, by pursuing which
he could pass first on to the Green of the same name by a

XXVI Introduction

small bridge, and thence by a larger bridge into the fields
beyond. Here was Henny or Heneye (p. 289) a mysterious
name which I cannot explain ; but the locality was thought
important enough to have a lane all to itself. Milne Street,
which we will suppose our stranger to follow, led, as its
name imports, to the Mills, namely the Kings' Mill and the
Bishop's Mill on Coe Fen. It must therefore have been
a busy, and at times a crowded, thoroughfare. It contained
the church of S. John Baptist, often mentioned in the
Memoranday and the House of the Carmeh'tes (p. 211),
Between the church and the friary were three lanes, Water
Lane, Salthithe Lane or Strawey Lane (pp. 284, 289), and
lastly Cholles Lane (p. 289), which, by the help of S. Austin's
Lane and Bene't Street, furnished direct access from the
water's edge to Peas Hill and the Market Place. The south
end of Milne Street opened into Small Bridges Street, so
called from the two wooden bridges over which from very
early days the road to Newnham and Barton was carried.

We will suppose our visitor anxious to explore the
Town, as distinct frora its outskirts. He would therefore
turn eastward along the above street, to S. Botolph's
Church in High Street, which he would foilow as far as
S. Bene't's Street. Walking along this past S. Bene't's
Church at the corner of Lurteburne Lane (p. 286), he
would soon reach the part of the Market Place now called
Peas Hili ; but anciently the difTerent parts of this open
space were named after the wares sold in them, as oat-
market, fish-market, milk-market, or the butchery, close to
S. £dward's church, which is described in the Memoranda
(p. 287) as situated in it In those days Peas Hill
was connected with the Market Place proper by a short
street, the west side of which consisted of houses abutting
against the east end of S. Edward's Church. The Market
Place proper, an L-shaped area, " contained all the principal
buildings, the Cross, the Tolbooth or Guildhall, the prison,
the fountain, and also the stocks and the pillory. The
principal inns looked on to it, or were close to it, and the
old names of the streets shew that the principal trades

By the Editor xxvii

clustered round it^" Adjoining the Market Place our visitor
would see the church of S. Mary the Great, with houses
built up against it, and no open space in front of it ; but it
must be remembered that that church was very different in
the thirteenth century from the stately building of the
present day, which was not begun till near the end of the
fifteenth century.

To leave the Market Place our visitor could choose
between Shoemaker Row, now Market Street, and Petty
Cury, which keeps its curious old name, over the meaning
of which so much discussion has arisen. In the period
which I am trying to describe it must have been a singularly
picturesque street, full of movement, for on the south side of
it there were at least three well-known inns, the Lion, the
Falcon, and the Wrestlers; to take the order in which they
would be approached from the Market Place. At the end
of Petty Cury our visitor would find himself at the south-
east corner of the town ; and, if he turned slightly to the
right, as far as Bamwell Gate, then probably a real gate, he
would catch a glimpse of the cultivated fields stretching
away as far as the eye could see ; and in the foreground the
parish church of S. Andrew, with the Dominican Friary
beyorid. From this point he would turn to the left, and
walk up Bridge Street. Passing on the left Trinity Church,
then a very small building, he would soon reach the
Franciscan House at the corner of S. Rhadegund's Lane.
Tuming into this lane, and crossing the bridge over the
King^s Ditch, he would see on his left the boundary walls
of the nunnery of S. Rhadegund founded 1133. After
passing this, as he pursued his way to Bamwell Priory, he
would have on his left the Green Croft, an open space
of pasture, on part of which, nearest to the Causeway, the
Fair called Midsummer Fair was held (p. 87 note)y and on
his right Bradmoor Field, part of the arable field. At the
Priory, round which there was a small suburb, he would
find that the Canons did not forget to entertain strangers*.

xxviii Introduction

V. The King's Ditch.

The plan of Cambridge shews the course of the ditch
called the King*s Ditch^ which marks the Hmit of "the
urban nucleus '* on the south-east, east, and north-east sides.
This ditch was begun by King John in 12 15'; and
continued and developed, with the addition of two gates,
called respectively Trumpington Gate and Barnwell Gate
(see plan), by King Henry the Third in 1267, when the
men of the Isle of Ely were making themselves specially
disagreeable. The author of the Memoranda dwells upon
the King's eagerness to get the work done, and tells us that
" He had gates made, and ditches dug round the town with
much diligence, nor would he allow the labourers to rest
from their work on holydays" (p. 122). The use of the
plural "ditches" is worth noting, with regard to the
evidence for more ditches than one which Professor Hughes
obtained near Trumpington Gate in 1893. Whatever may
be the correct view on this difficult question, it is clear that
in 1279, when the Hundred Rolls were written, the ditches,
for official purposes, were regarded as one, and further, that
there was an open space, a sort of boulevard, beside the
ditch, and evidently within it, as otherwise the houses
of the burghers could not have opened upon it, as the
following extract shows that they did.

They [the jury] say that our lord the King — that is to say lord
Henry, father of Edward now king, during the time of disturbance in
England, caused a certain ditch to be made which goes round the
town of Cambridge on one side, together with a certain circuit
belonging to the said ditch, which ditch and circuit remain waste,
and bring profit to nobody, to the gpreat danger and loss of all persons
who have their dwellings {curias) abutting on the aforesaid circuit.
They say, however, that Richard Laurence has planted opposite to his
house certain trees close to {siibtus) the ditch of our lord the King,
for the keeping up and improvement of the aforesaid ditch ; but that

^ On the whole subject of the Town Dttches the papers by Professor
Hoghes, who has made the subject peculiarly his own, shoald be consulted :

■ Cooper, AnnalSf '• 35-

By the Editor xxix

neither in the soil nor in the aforesaid trees does he claim any right
or property.

And the aforesaid Richard has made a certain drawbridge over the
aforesaid ditch that he may have exit and entrance with his flocks and
cattle into the common pasture of Grenecroft such as the aforesaid
Richard and his forefathers were accustomed to have in time of peace
from a time that none can remember.

Moreover they say that Thomas de Clopton has appropriated to
himself out of the circuit belonging to the ditch of our lord the King a
certain parcei of ground adjoining the ditch at the end of his dwelling,
50 feet in length, and in breadth 8 feet between the crest {crestam) of
the ditch and his dwelling.

Moreover Stephen the Chaplain has appropriated to himself a
parcel of ground lying near the ditch at the end of his dwelling 36
feet long, and 8 feet broad between the crest of the ditch and his
dwelling^.

The direction of the ditch is indicated on the plan with
suflicient clearness to render any description of its course
needless. It is evident, from the language used by our
author, that it was intended by its means to provide
an efficient protection for the town against the freebooters
of the Isle of Ely (insulares), It was therefore conducted
along such a course that all the more important buildings
were within its circuit. It must not, however, be assumed
that there were nothing left outside it. The roads which
lead out of walled towns are nearly always bordered with
houses, and Cambridge offered no exception to this rule.
Beyond Trumpington Gate we find the parish church of
S. Peter (now S. Mary the Less), which was obviously left
beyond the circuit, because it was so much easier to make
the ditch start below the mills than above them. On the
site of Peterhouse there were several messuages, and the
House of the Brethren of the Sack (p. 218); and the site
of Pembroke Hall opposite was also occupied by a row of
dwelling houses next the street, with gardens behind them.
The parish church of S. Andrew, next Barnwell Gate, was
also left outside the circuit, probably for some practical
reason ; and the Dominicans deliberately chose for them-
selves a site beyond it. The Franciscans had selected their

^ Rot. Hund. ii. 392.

XXX Introduction

site more than forty years before the ditch was thought of ;
but no account was taken of their wishes, and their site
was cut into two^

VI. The Fields.

No description of Cambridge in the thirteenth century
would be complete without some account of the Fields
{campi), Besides, they are frequently mentioned in the
Memoranda.

Professor Maitland has made this subject so completely
his own in Township and Borough, that, by way of intro-
duction to the very little which I can venture to say about
it, I will quote a few passages from the first lecture which
he gave at Oxford in 1897.

"Cambridge had fields. I am not telling you that
outside what we should call the Town of Cambridge, that
is, the house-covered space, there were pieces of land which
we should call fields, and that some of these lay within the
boundary of the municipal and parliamentary borough of
Cambridge. I am using the words in their medieval sense.
Cambridge had fields {campos) as the neighbouring villages
had fields : vast, hedgeless, fenceless tracts of arable land,
in which the strips of divers owners lay interspersed ' hide-
meal and acre-meal.' Cambridge had fields which were
open and commonable....

" David Loggan the engraver drew pictures of Oxford,
and of Cambridg^e also. In his general views of Cambridge
we see in the background the houses, the coU^es and
churches, the castle-mound and the remains of the dis-
mantled castle: in the for^rround lies the open field, and
I do not know that better pictures of an open field were
ever drawn....

" Besides fields, Cambridge had meadows or leys which

^ The line of the ditch was set out by authority. In 1368 King Henry the
Third allowed £i^ to be paid by way of compensation to certain bnrgesses
whose houses had lately been pulled down near the King's Ditch. Cooper,
/innals, i. 51.

By the Editor xxxi

during a part of every year were commonable. Also it had
pasture land which was never inclosed or enjoyed in
severalty, * the green commons of the to wn ' ; for the more
part they are green and open still. But further, so late as
the reign of James I, Cambridge, its fields and its green
commons can upon occasion be treated as an agrarian
whole. In 1624 the Vice-Chancellor of the University and
the Mayor of the Borough issued an ordinance touching
the commons of the town. Every occupier of an ancient
tenement having of old time broad gates may tum out two
head of cattle. Every occupier of other tenements and
cottages may turn out one. Every person having" six
score acres of iand in Cambridge field may tum out six,
and so in proportion for any greater or less quantity of
land>.

" Observe what this reverend Vice-Chancellor and this
worshipful Mayor are doing. They seem to be legislating
for an agrarian commonwealth. They are decreeing that
the pasture of the town must still subserve the arable of
the town. And* what is the unit of arable that gives the
normal share of pasture-right .^ It is six score acres, a
long hundred of acres, a hide'."

The peculiar configuration of the town of Cambridge —
an ellipse with its major diameter north and south, and
the river Cam flowing along its western side— divides the
adjacent fields into two groups, eastern and westem. I
shall take the former group first, but, before the relations
of these fields to one another are discussed, I must ask my
readers to dismiss all ideas derived from the Cambridge of
to-day. My object is to reproduce the fields as they were
when the town was in the condition I have been trying to
describe, and when, as Professor Maitland has said, " if a
bui^ess of Cambridge crossed the ditch, he came out at
once, or almost at once, upon the great sheet of ploughed
landV

xxxii Introductian

The eastern fields, commonly known as the Barnwell
Fields, were four in number, and, counting from the south
west, appear in the following order (see plan)^ :

1. Ford Field, so called from the ford by which the
London Road entered the territory of Cambridge, lay
between the Trumpington Road and the Hilis Road, but
was bounded on the townward side by what is now
Lensfield Road.

2. Middle Field lay between the Hills Road and the
line of the Mill Road, but was bounded on the townward
side by what is now Parker's Piece.

3. Bradmore or Bradmoor Field, called also Meledich,
lay between the Mill Road and the Newmarket Road; but
the townward part of it was known as the Clayangles
or Clayhanger.

4. Sturbridge Field, anciently called Estenhale, lay on
both sides of the Newmarket Road just beyond Barnwell
Priory.

Professor Maitland has obtained evidence which makes
it clear that in Ford Field the site of Peterhouse and the
tract subsequently calied Swine Croft or St Thomas' leys
were once arable ; that in Middle Field, Parker's Piece was
arable ; and that in Bradmoor Field, Christ's Piece also.
was arable. The tract therefore which extended from Coe
Fen to the Newmarket Road was in very ancient times one
large cornfield. Subsequently part of these fields was
laid down as grass, and then the word ' iey ' instead of the
word ' selion ' was used with reference to them. Some of
the old selions may be detected to this day in the grounds
of Downing College*.

On the west side of Cambridge there were also four
fields, but, as our Memoranda do not busy themselves with
them, I need not do more than mention them in a summary
fashion.

^ Tffumship and Banmgh^ pp. 55, 107. See also the Memoranda^ p. 98,
where these fields are all mentioned.

1. Grithow (Gravel Hill) Field, lay between the roads
to Huntingdon and St Neots.

2. Middle Field lay next to this, on the south side of
the road to St Neots, extending as far as Bin Brook.

3. Little Field lay next to this, extending as far as
the road to St Neots, but separated from Middle Field by
a footpath known as the Barton way, which led across the
fields to the village of Barton. Portfield seems to have
been part of Little Field*.

4. Carme Field, the most southern of the four, took its
name from a block of twenty selions in Newnham, known
in the fourteenth century as the Carmedolel

Professor Maitland points out that ** there was little
meadow in medieval Cambridge," and quotes William
Harrison, writing in 1577, who says :

It hath no such store of medowe grounde as may suffice for the
OTdinarie expence^ of the towne and Vniuersitie, wherefore they are
inforced...to provide their haye from other villages about, which
minister the same unto them in verye great abundance'.

There was Long Green, which lay along the left bank
of the Cam, from the Mill Pool to the Great Bridge;
Sheeps Green ; Coe Fen, or part of it ; and Green Croft.
Between these two latter were Swine Croft, Parkers Piece,
and Christ's Piece, but these were late additions. Parker's
Piece, for instance, was not turned 'from tillage into sward*
until after it was acquired by the town from Trinity CoIIege
in 1613.

INTRODUCTION.
BY F. W. MAITLAND, LL.D.

Among the historical materials which have descended
to us from the English monasteries this Liber Metnoran^
dorum seems to bear an almost unique character, and to
this we may, at least in part, ascribe the fact that it remained
unprinted until the present year. Clearly it is no Chronicle.
Nor again can we include it in the class of Annals. We
shouldTiavc frft that it-was not quite in !ts right place had
Dr Luard comprised it in his admirable edition along with
the books that come to us from Dunstable, Tewkesbury,
Waverley and elsewhere. Nor again can we describe it as
a Cartulary. On the one hand we have not here the work
of a man who year by year sets down those events, those
donations, those oppressions, those law-suits, which affected
the fortunes of the house ; and on the other hand we have
not a systematic collection of documents of title, of feoff-
ments, releases and bonds, arranged according to a chrono-
logical or geographical scheme. The title Liber Menuh
randcrum, whenever it may have been bestowed, seems aptly
to describe the book that is now in our hands. Towards
the end of Edward Fs reigfn some canon of the house, with
a good many documents before him, sat himself down to put
in writing what he thought to be things worthy of remem-
brance. His selection is governed by thoughts of the
fiiture. These acts and deeds are memorable because they
may enable the priory to enforce its claims and to resist
any unjust pretensions of its neighbours, its lords and its
tenants. Primarily it is an armoury of oflTensive and

xliv Introductian

defensive weapons. It is characterized by the unusually
large number of ' records ' (that word being used in a specific
sense) which it contains. But still our scribe is not com-
posing a cartulary, or a mere collection of those entries upon
judicial rolls which relate the law-suits of his house. He
adopts a narrative form. He will tell us briefly the story
of the priory, laying stress on litigation and introducing the
very words of those formal enrolments to which reference
/should be made hereafter if anyone is rash enough to call
in question the rights of St Giles of BamwelL We must
add, however, that when he comes down to his own time he
begins to sprinkle his story with anecdotes which he tells in
a spirited and humorous way. These wili to modem eyes
be the most attractive portion of his work. Nevertheless,
if we look at them closely we snall see that as a general
rule these little tales are put in writing for the same reason
that has dictated the transcription of the \Ggd\ 'records.'
They are meant to be instructive. They are meant to
suggest what should be done hereafter if litigation is
imminent ; but happily the writer sometimes, if I may so
say, ' sees the fun of the thing ' and gives us in miniature
some pictures of men and manners for which we ought
to be grateful.

We have thus a very curious mixture. We have
*records' that are set forth in the highly formal and
technical language of the lawyers of the thirteenth century,
and then we have anecdotes which are told in an unusually
colloquial kind of Latin. The second of these two elements
in the compound will be easily understood by all who have
paid any attention to English medieval history. Of the
first I have been asked by my friend Mr Clark to say a few
words.

The ' records ' of which I speak are transcripts of entries
made upon judicial rolls: upon the roUs of the central
courts at Westminster ; upon rolls of the justices who are
commissioned to hear those actions that are known as
' assizes ' ; and upon the rolls of the justices in eyre. Such
transcripts from judicial rolls are occasionally to be found

By F. W. MaUland, LL.D. xlv

in monastic annals and monastic cartularies ; but the Canons
of Bamwell seem to have been more than ordinarily careful
in obtaining and preserving them. A large part of this book
consists of such transcripts.

Let us look at one of them. We will choose rather
a long instance (p. loo). The maker of this book iirst tells
us how a certain Geoffrey of Howes held land at Madingley
of the Priory for the term of his life. He then sets out a
deed by which Geoffrey confessed that he held only for life.
Then we are told that on Geoffrey's death the Prior seized
the land ; but that Geoffrey's widow brought a writ demand-
ing dower. There foUows a * record ' of this action which
fills the greater part of three pages. We see the writ.
Then we see the demandanfs *count.* Then we see the
Prior^s ' plea.' It is a special plea to the effect that under
the deed already mentioned Geoffrey was only a tenant for
life. Then we see the widow's replication. She says that
her husband held in fee, having inherited the land from his
mother. Issue is joined. The sheriff is to take the verdict
of a jury on the question of fact. The sheriff takes the
verdict of a jury, and it is wholly favourable to the Prior.
The sheriff sends this verdict to the court, and then we see
the judgment 'Therefore it is awarded that the said
Prior go thence without day and that the said Mabel be in
mercy.*

As these last words will sufficiently show, the meaning
of the 'records' that are here collected will hardly be
intelligible to those who know nothing of English legal
history. All that I can here do is to write some brief notes
about the various actions in which the Priory was concerned.
Thereby I may perhaps enable some readers of this book
to take hold by the right end of some of the stories that
are here recounted. More than this could not be done
without lengthy disquisition.

In his First Book the writer tells of the foundation of
the Priory and the. subsequent fortunes of what we might
call ' the domus ' in Barnwell. He traces the history of the
immediate lordship over the Priory, It passed from the

xlvi Introductton

Peverels to the Pecch^s. Then we read how Gilbert
Pecch^ conveyed it to Edward I and his wife Eleanor (p. 51).
The conveyance was made by a *fine' — that is, a *final
concord' — levied in the Court of Common Pleas {coram
iusticiariis domini Rtgis in banco). Thereupon, as was
customary when a seignory was being transferred by fine,
the tenant of the land — in this case the Prior — was sum-
moned by a writ, known as per quae seruiciay to say by
what services he was holding and to attom himself to his
new lord. Here we have an extract from a plea roll (p. 52).
The Prior said that his tenure was frankalmoin, and there-
upon he attorned himself and did fealty to the King and
Queen. Incidentally he secured an acknowledgement by
the King that the seignorial right of patronage over the
Priory was defined and limited by a deed executed by
Gilbert Pecch^ in 1256 (p. 49).

Our memoriaiist says that he does not know why
Gilbert transferred the greater part of his barony to the
King and Queen. The story, however, seems fairly plain.
Gilbert had by his first wife two sons, to whom he greatly
preferred the children of a second wife. He desired there-
fore to leave but little to descend to his heir. King Edward,
as may be seen in other cases, was interested in breaking
up the great baronies and was willing to give money or life
estates in retum for fee simple. We shall see below (p. 86)
how he grants to Gilbert Pecchd for his life — only for his
life — ^the rent of £^^1 due from the Prior in respect of the
manor of Chesterton. Elsewhere we may see Gilbert con-
veying a Kentish manor to the King and Queen in con-
sideration of a thousand marks^ If he was bent on
'realising,' as we say, his heritable rights, Edward I had
good cause for helping him to do so.

I may remark, by the way, that I venture to print his
family name as PeccfU, On the older Latin records it
appears as Peccatum\ Perhaps the faithful canons of
Barnwell were ' prepared to deny with regard to the same

^ Red Book of the Exchequer (Rolls Series), Vol. i. p. cxxviii.
' See e.g. the Red Book, Vol. i. pp. 75, 76, 139.

By F. W. Maitland, LL.D. xlvii

what that name might imply/ but that it was originally a
nick-name, well or ill deserved, we can hardly doubt
The modem Engh*sh form of the name would probably be
Peachey.

The next record that we meet with comes from the
rolls of justices in eyre who visited Cambridge in 1299
(p. 63)'. The Prior is to answer to the King quo waranto
he claims certain * franchises ' — ^that is, royal rights — to wit,
view of frankpledge and the amends for breaches of the
assize of bread and beer in Chesterton and an annual fair
in Bamwell. He escapes easily, producing royal charters.
He is told that he may * go without day * — that is, he need
not come into Court again. But, as is usual in such cases,
there is a salvo for the King's right : in other words, the
King will not de estopped by this record from hereafter
urging any right that he may have to recover these
franchises.

When he is comptling his Second Book the writer looks
outside the * domus/ but thinks primarily of property that
lies close at hand. Specially he has to speak of Chesterton.
Now Chesterton was part of the ancient demesne of the
Crown. We begin with an extract from Domesday Book
which describes it as dominica villa Regis (p. 75). This
handsome manor passed into the hands of the Prior and
Canons. King John had granted them an annuity of ten
pounds by way of alms. Then, instead of the annuity, he
g^nted them thc vill of Chesterton for ever, reserving a
rent of £y> of blanched money, which are equivalent to
£%\ by tale. Confirmations were obtained from Henry HI
and Edward I.

The King had a right to impose upon the manors of
his ancient demesne the kind of tax that was known as a
tallage. If he allowed one of those manors to go out of
his own hand by putting a mesne lord over it, normally he
lost his right. Thenceforth it was for that lord to impose
for his own profit a tallage on that manor when the King
was tallaging the mapors that were still in his own hand.

^ This seems to have been inserted by way of postscript.

xlviii Introduction

However, it appears that King John, after his grant to the
Priory, twice succeeded in tall^ing the men of Chesterton.
On a third occasion they were spared, the deed of grant
being taken as an answer to the claim. At this point we
have extracts from the Pipe Rolls which contain the accounts
rendered by the sheriffs at the Exchequer (p. 78). Then
in 1241 the Prior succeeds in getting from the King's
Council an admission that, despite those two unlucky prece-
dents, which, it is observed, occurred in the time of the
great Interdict, it is not for the King to tallage the Prior's
men in Chesterton. Then we learn from a well told story
how at a later day the King^s escheator, himself a man of
religion, repeated the old claim, but was full wiliing to take
a bribe, which bribe, however, he did not get, since the
Prior obtained a writ from the Exchequer commanding
him to desist We observe in passing that the men of
Chesterton are not the gainers by the Prior^s victory. He
proceeds to tallage them 'for his own proper use'
(pp. 78—82).

We continue our study of the rent payable in respect of
Chesterton. The King granted a part of it, namely ;f 20,
to one WiUiam de Hastingtot, to be received by him from
the Prior^s hand. It was a grant that was to endure only
until the King should give Wiiliam an equivalent amount
of land, to wit, twenty librates. William died leaving an
infant heir, and the King proceeded to act as though he, as
guardian in chivalry, could deal with this rent of ;^20
during the heir*s minority. He granted it to one Roger de
Wauton. Then, however, William's widow asserted that
she was entitled to part of it as doweress and to the residue
as the heir's guardian in socage. Her claim was successful,
and the Prior was ordered to pay the £20 to her. Thesc
dealings with the rent are of interest to the Priory, for it is
of importance that payments be made only to those who
can give a good discharge. It will be seen that at one point
the Prior paid to Roger de Wauton £/^ lOs. which should
have been paid into the Exchequer, but succeeded in
getting the mistake set right (pp. 84 — 5). Then, the

By F. W. Maitland, LL.D. xlix

rights of the Hastingtots having somehow come to an end,
Gilbert Pecch^ obtains a grant of the whole rent of ;f 31 for
his life; but he dies in 1291. This story of the rent is
iUustrated by entries that stand on the Pipe RoUs, and by
writs that issued from the Exchequer.

We pass to the fair in Bamwell which had been granted
to the Priory. It soon gave rise to disputes between the
Canons and the Burgesses of Cambridge. For example,
who is entitled to the catalla felanum — the chattels of people
who commit felony in the fair ? The Canons, in spite of
what they r^^arded as a precedent in their favour —
a case which involved a picturesque abjuration of the
realm (p. 89) — ^had to give way, fearing *to lose their
fair ' by reason of an ' abuse ' of the franchise. So they
came to terms with the townsfolk. So far as we know, the
townsfolk themselves had no chartered right to the catalla
felanum before the reign of Richard IP. It is to be
remembered, however, that Barnweli and the scene of the
fair lay within the boundaries of the town {villa) of
Cambridge, and ' the town ' had been granted as a whole —
in some sense or another — to the burgesses.

Cambridge, like other towns of the same class, was
treated for one important purpose as though it were part of
the ancient demesne of the Crown. The King could tallage
it. Some documents are now given which set before us
a question of ' double taxation ' (pp. 91 — 2). The assessors
of the taliage first tax the Prior's tenants in Cambridge ac-
cording to their wealth in movables {per merckandias suas)j
and then proceed to tax the Prior on thq rents that those
tenants pay him. He succeeds in asserting that this is not
equitable; but has to obtain writs to the sheriff in 1252,
1254 and 1269.

The bui^esses in a coUective or corporate fashion owed
a rent to the Priory ; not a large rent, only ten shillings
(p. 93). This was a fragment of a rent of £ 10 wherewith
the burgesses had compounded for ' the third penny of the
borough' due of old time to the Earl. By various gifts

1 Introduction

that rent had been divided betwcen the Priories of Caldwell,
Kenilworth and Barnwell^

We come to a well known dispute between the Priory
and the University (p. 95 ). The Chancellor brings * an action
of annuity ' against the Prior, and the Prior has to give way.
The question is settled by a 'fine* ievied before the justices
in eyre at Cambridge. Fines, if they are at all long— and
this one is somewhat long — are not very easy instruments
to read. Therefore the hint may be permissible that the
' Haec est finalis concordia inter A. et B.' must sooner or
later be followed by a * scilicet quod.' The whole instru-
ment is a single sentence, and we must take a longbreath at
the beginning. In the present instance the ' scilicet quod/
which introduces the terms of the ' final concord,' does not
meet us until we are in the twenty-third line of printed
instniment. The intervening matter is a sort of • recital ' of
the legal proceedings taken by the Chancellor against the
Prior.

The memorialist has been led into speaking of WiUiam
of Kilkenny's chaplains (p. 94), so he next mentions some
other benefactions of the same class (pp. 96 — 8). In every
case the land acquired lies within the limits of Cambridge.
He then tells in somewhat general terms of the land held
by the Priory in the Eastern or Barnwell fields of that town.
It seems needless to repeat here what has elsewhere been
said of this matter*. About one-third of those fields became
demesne lands of the Priory, and were cultivated as a home
farm,

The story of some land at Comberton is introduced at
this point because it explains another rent, besides that
of Chesterton, which must be paid to the king (p. 93).
Henry III had begun rigorously to insist that his tenants
by serjeanty — who in the past have been, at least in name,
his menial servants — were not to alienate their holdings.
When an alienation had occurred, he held that in strictness
a forfeiture had been committed, and, by way of grace, he

By F. W. MaUland, LL.D. H

' arrented the serjeanty/ that is, he substituted a new money

rent for the old, and often obsolete, personal service.

The Priory has acquired 121 acres at Comberton from a

man who in theory ought to have been baking the king's

bread. However, the king is merciful and content to take

the light rent of a half-mark.

Turning to the Third Book we find ourselves looking

beyond Cambridge and Chesterton and the Priory's home

farm, and we come upon a rich mixture of records and

anecdotes. Let us briefiy notice with their technical

names the various lawsuits in which the Priory is con-
cerned.

Mabel widaw of Geoffrey de Howes v. The Prior

(pp. 100 — 3). Action of dower unde hihil kabet for land at

Madingley, before justices in eyre at Cambridge and

thence adjourned to Lewes, and to Wilton. The Prior

pleads that Geoffrey held for his life only. Mabel replies

that he was seised in fee. The issue is tried before the

sheriff by a jury which gives a verdict for the Prior. This

verdict being returned to the justices, they give judgment

for the Prior. Besides extracts from the * record ' of this

action, the memorialist gives us in full the ' original ' writ,

that is, the writ by which the action was begun (p. loi),

and the writ of inquest directed by the justices in eyre to

the sheriff (p. 103). These writs would not appear at fuli

length upon the enroUed *record.'

William de Bloy v. The Prior. Assize of novel disseisin
before justices in eyre at Hereford. The assize finds a
verdict for the Prior, and the Prior has judgment (p. 104).
In this instance the record is not set before us in extensOy
but apparently a copy of it was lying before the maker of
this book, and from that copy he takes some phrases.

Inquest of ofiice taken by the escheator as to the
tenure of land at Madingley (p. 105). A suggestion has
been made to the King that the Prior is his tenant in chief
of half a knight^s fee, also that one Robert Morei demised
this land to the Prior for a term of years that has expired.
As to both questions a verdict is found for the Prior.

lii Introduction

There is no law-suit here. We have an inquest taken
ex offido for the ascertainment of royal rights.

The Prior v. Richard de Capella and The Prior v.
Humphrey de Cloptone and others (pp. io6 — 8). Two assizes
of novel disseisin. The first is taken upon the default of
the defendant; the jurors find a disseisin and the Prior
recovers. In the second the defendants confess the dis-
seisin and the Prior recovers. In addition to the record
of these two assizes, we have the two original writs and
also the 'patent of assize' appointing justices to take
these two assizes. The record begins with the formula,
Assysa uenit recognitura (p. 107).

Ralph de Camoys and wtfe v. The Prior and Otho son of
WiUiafn (pp. 108 — iio). - Assize of dareln presentment
conceming the church of Burton. The plaintiflf says that
the last parson was presented by his great-great-grand-
mother. The Prior says that a predecessor of his was
the presentor. Otho says that his grandmother was the
presentor. The jurors of the assize find for the Prior. He
has judgment and a writ to the bishop. All this matter
seems to be transcribed from the record. Then a writ is
also transcribed ; it is the distringas iuratores (p. 1 10).
This assize, like other assizes of darein presentment, is
taken before the Bench at Westminster, and not before
justices of kssize.

It next appears that, despite this victory in a purely
possessory action, the Prior and his presentee had to make
peace with Ralph de Camoys and his wife, promising them
twenty marks in return for a release of any right they
might have in the advowson. This transaction was eflfected
before justices in eyre at Lincoln. The account of it
(pp. iio — i) seems to come from the roUs of those
justices.

The Prior v. Robert de Brakenberwe (p. 1 1 2). Assize of
darein presentment concerning the church of Burton.
The impedient pieads joint tenure with Raiph de Wykham
of a manor to which the advowson is appendant The
writ is abated because of the non-joinder of Ralph. We

By F. W. Maitland, LL.D. liii

have in this instance the record (p. 112), the original writ
(p. iii), and a bill, sealed by the sheriff, acknowledging
that the original writ has been delivered to him. It will
bc noticed that our informant has leapt over some thirty
years in order that he may pursue the history of the
advowson of Burton.

Tke Prior v. Robert de Brakenberwe and Ralph de
Wykhant (pp. 112 — 4). Assize of darein presentment con-
ceming the same church. The impedients make default.
The jurors of the assize find for the Prior, who has
judgment and a writ to the bishop. Also he recovers
damages according to Stat. Westm. II. c. 5. Besides the
record (p. 114) we see three writs which constitute part of
'the jury process' in this action (pp. 112 — 3). The Prior,
it will be seen, after the abatement of his previous writ,
began a new action, making Ralph a party.

Tkomas Tuylet v. The Prior (pp. 115 — 8). Action of
ael (in modern French ateul) for lands in Cambridge,
Bamwell and Newnham. The Prior pleads that the
demandant's grandfather did not die seised, but by his
charter enfeoffed the Prior and his church. ■ The demandant
replies that, notwithstanding the charter, his grandfather
died seised. This issue is tried by the witness named in
thc charter and twelve jurors. As to eight acres they
find for the demandant, and as to the residue for the Prior.
Judgment is given accordingly. The parts of this record
have been inverted. We ought to read §§ 27 — 8 before
I 26. One of the writs constituting the *jury process* is
given in § 25. It is a venire facias sicut alias,

Mabel widaw of Thomas Tuylet v. The Prior (p. 1 1 8)
Action of dower. The Prior has vouched Robert son of
Robert Hubert. The sheriff has been ordered to summon
the vouchee but has not done so. The order is repeated.
We leam no more.

Tk£ Prior v. yokn de Burdelay (pp. 118 — 9). Writ for
admeasurement of pasture in Madingley. We have the
original writ to the sheriff, and then the *extent' that is
made by jurors at Madingley ; but we see no further pro-

liv Introducium

ceedings. It is found that John had on the moor twenty
beasts in excess of his proper allowance.

At this point (p. 119) our good canon leaves his records
for a while in order that he may tell a story about the
acquisition of some land at Wiggenhall in Norfolk, and
thence he digresses to the Barons* War, the occupation of
of the Isle of Ely by the disinherited, King Henry's visit to
Cambridge, and so forth. But all this national history
seems to be parenthetic, and, so soon as the land is at peace,
we recur to Wiggenhall and observe the ili that befell John
the Chaplain who endeavoured to cheat the Prior. We
read of proceedings in the ecclesiastical courts, but none of
the documents are transcribed. Ultimately John, as a
contumacious excommunicate, is arrested and imprisoned,
having been dragged by his feet from out the Franciscan's
church in Cambridge. Then a little more narrative carries
us on to the eyre held at Cambridge in 1272. This gives
occasion for some brief notes of actions and iinal concords.
These we may pass by. Also we may pass by the incipient
dispute between the Canons and the Burgesses about the
right to drive cattle along the river bank from Midsummer
Common to Stourbridge Common (p. 133). That dispute
led to violent deeds duringthe Peasants' Rebellion in 1381*.
We look for something more deserving of technical com-
ment

Master of the Temple v. The Prior. Writ of right of
advowson for the church of Waterbeach (pp. 135 — 6). The
Master counts on the seisin of a predecessor in the time of
Richard I. The Prior pleads that on a previous occasion
the Master brought a writ of right, counting on a seisin in
the time of Henry II, and that because the seisin was laid
before the time of limitation (the coronation of Richard I),
final judgment was given for the Prior. This plea prevails,
and once more a final judgment is given for the Prior.
AU this matter appears to be copied from the record.

The exact point of the next two sections (§§ 55 — 6) is
not very plain. Apparently the Prior is charged at the

^ MaitUmdi Tmnship and Borough^ p. 193.

By F. W. Maitland, LL.D. Iv

Exchcquer of the Jews with a debt due by Roger Giffard.
The Prior seems to have acquired some lands which are
burdened with this debt, and the debt — as often happens
with debts originally owed to Jews — has become due to the
King. The Prior is allowed to pay by instalments and
finally goes quit. The list of Gifiard^s tenants, which is
given in § 55, might in some way or another serve to
identify the lands that were burdened.

Peter de Chavent v. The Prior (pp. 138 — 9). Action of
replevin removed hy pone into the Bench. The verdict and
judgment seem to be taken from the record ; but the plead-
ings are not given. Apparently the Prior avowed the
taking good and lawful on the ground that Peter^s villains
at Impington were prescriptively bound to make certain
payments in kind to the Prior in retum for rights of pasture
in the field of Chesterton. A retum of the horses that had
been replevied is awarded to the Prior ; but he is amerced,
as the verdict has not in all respects bome out his avowry.
A copy of the writ for the retum of the horses foUows.

We are next told of a writ of false judgment brought
by the Prior against the suitors of the Count of Brittany*s
court at Babraham (p. 140). As, however, the writ had the
efiect of bringing the suitors to reason, there is no litigation,
and we have no extract from a record.

The Prior v. Thomas Lenebant and others (p. 141).
Assize of novel disseisin, in which the Prior recovers a rent
service from his tenant. The disseisin consisted in a
resistance to distress. The exact words of the record are
not transcribed in this instance ; we only know that the
assize gave a surprisingly good verdict for the Prior — 'dixit
mirabiliter bene pro Priore.'

IsabeUa Chiuin v. The Prior (p. 142). Writ of right for
land in Boume. After the Prior has put himself upon a
grand assize, the demandant makes default. The Prior
insists upon the default {capit se precise ad predictam
defaltam) and judgment is given in his favour. This is an
extract from a roll. The extract begins by mentioning
some other litigation in which Isabella is concerned. The

Ivi Introduction

transcriber has copied this in order that we may see who is
the * eadem Isabella ' who brings a writ s^ainst the Prior.

Rector of S. Andrew^ Histon v. The Prior Suit in the
Court of Rome for the tithes of Histon. This is a very
instructive tale of protracted litigation, but no documents
are set forth. Few modern readers will learn of the rector's
sad end without feeling some of that pity for him which
was far from the mind of the narrator. Indeed we are
glad to know that the Convent never recovered one half-
penny of the costs that it had incurred.

Two anecdotes introduce us to the coroner's inquest
(pp. 144 — s). In both the Prior secured the acquittal of
his tenants. At the Prior's instance, the coroner uenire
fecit bonam inquisicionem — an inquest that was * good ' in
the sense of being favourable. No record, however, is
transcribed.

Executors of William de Kilkenny v. The Prior
(pp. 146 — 8). Suit for debt in an ecclesiastical court before
the commissary of the Pope's nuncio. The sentence, which
takes the form of a sealed instrument, is transcribed, and
constitutes the whole of § 6^.

Executor of Geoffr^ de Bancis v. The Prior (pp. 148 —
50). Suit in an ecclesiastical court before the commissary
of the Pope*s nuncio for the retum of money deposited.
The instrument of sentence is set forth at length.

Emeric de Rochechouart v. The Prior (p. 151). Suit in
an ecclesiastical court before judges delegate for dams^es
caused to the plaintifT, an ecclesiastic, by the Prior's refusal
to ransom him out of the hands of his enemies. The Prior
pays £\o^ and so purchases peace. No documents are
given us.

We now pass to the many cases which came before the
justices in eyre at Cambridge in 1286.

Gonnora of Barton and another v. John of Girton
(pp. 152 — 3). Assize of mort d'ancestor in which the
tenant vouches the Prior to warrant. The Prior warrants,
and the plaintiffs admit his right, and relea.se their claim,
also granting him the reversion of a tenement held by a

By F. W. MaUland, LL.D. Ivii

doweress. This doweress is summoned to court by a quid
iuris clamat and attoms to the Prior. All this is from the
record. Then we leam that the Prior had to pay six marks
for the release, but obtained this sum from John of Girton.

Maud widaw of Edward U Cartere v. The Prior
(pp. 154 — 5). Writ of entry for a tenement in Bamwell,
dismissed for want of prosecution. The brief extract from
the roll is followed by a story which tells us why Maud
abandoned her action. For the understanding of that story
it should be observed that a * part ' of every fine which is
levied in the Kingf s Court is preserved by the Court ; it is
the * part ' known as the foot of the fine. Thus, though
the Prior has not got in his possession the * part * of a
certain fine that he ought to have, he is not so defenceless
as Maud and her counsel supposed him to be, for a friendly
chirc^rapher — an officer who draws up these 'chirographs' of
fines — ^has explored the records of the Court. Having wind
of this move, Maud's counsel thinks it prudent to retire,
For falsely denying the existence of a fine a litigant would
be sent to gaol.

The Prior v. Nigel ofHarston (p. 155 ). Writ of customs
and services in the debet. The Prior sees that the writ will
be abated because there is one letter too much in it, Herle-
stone appearing as Herdlestone. So he obtains leave from
the court to bring another and a better writ, and im-
mediately sends off to obtain one. Thereupon Nigel gives
way. Apparently the extract from the record has not been
very accurately copied, as the name of the vill in which the
land lies should there be given with the d in it.

Roger Barbedor v. The Prior (pp. 1 56 — 7). Assize of
mort d'ancestor on the death of the plaintiflTs father for land
in Hinxton. The Prior pleads that the ancestor did not
die seised in fee, being but a tenant for life by the Prior's
demise, and also that the plaintiflT has an elder brother
living, namely, William. The plaintiff replies that William
cannot inherit as he is professed in religion. The jurors
tell a very curious story about William. He first became
a Carmelite friar at Cambridge, and then became a Cister-

Iviii Introductian

cian monk at Vaudey. Then, however, a certain woman,
asserting that before his profession he had contracted
marriage with her. sued him before the ordinary and de*
raigned {disracionavit) him as her husband. So he is cap*
able of inheriting. and the plaintiflf is therefore not next
heir. The jurors also iind that the Prior is right in his
other contention, and that the plaintiflrs father held only
for life. So the Prior has judgment

The Priar v. Henry Tuylet (pp. 150 — %\ Assize of
novel disseisin for a house in Cambridge. The all^ed
disseisin consists in the tenant having blocked up a door-
way so that his landlord, the Prior, cannot enter to distrain
for rent arrear. The jurors find a verdict for the defendant,
and he has judgment. However the Prior threatens an
'attaint/ and the defendant yields. The record of the
assize is given at lengrth. An ' attaint ' was a proceeding in
which the twelve jurors might be convicted of having swom
falsely by a verdict of twenty-four other jurors, and the
' attainted ' jurors would be severely punished.

The Prior w.John Humfrey and Cecilia his n;i/2r (pp. 159
— 160). Writ of customs and services. The extract from
a roU (§ 84) shows that the tenants make default in appear-
ance and that the sheriflf is directed to distrain them. We
are then told that Cecilia, who was holding the tenement in
her own right, came with her husband into the borougfa
court at Cambridge and released all her right to the Prior,
but as no iine was levied» there may be reason to fear that
hereafter she may renew her claim ; so caution is desirable.

The Prior v. Hugh de Ru^ and another (pp. 160 — 2^
Assize of novel disseisin for a rent issuing from a horse mill.
A verdict favourable to the Prior is given, but the excerpt
from the roU does not show any judgment

Walter atte Dole v. The Prior (p. 162). An action for
land in Barton : apparently an action of cosinage. No
record is given. The Prior being prepared to prove that
the demandant's father was hanged as a felon, the deman-
dant withdraws from his writ Descent could not be traced
through a felon.

By F. W. Mattland, LL.D. lix

Walter san of Ralph k Lord v. The Prior (pp. 163 — S).
Writ of wardship. The demandant claims the wardship of
a moiety of certain tenements in Barton on the ground that
the late tenant of the tenements held of the demandant by
military service. The Prior pleads that he is holding the
motety as the right of his church and therefore need not
answer to a writ of wardship. The demandant replies
and the Prior rejoins, and judgment is given for the Prior
as upon a demurrer. The facts which occasioned this
dispute are very curious; but they are clearly stated by
the narrator and must not be suflfered to delay us.

The Prior v. Warin de Vlsle (pp. 165—6). Writ of
customs and services. No record is given. We are told
however that by way of defence Warin produced a spurious
charter. Thereupon the Prior was advised to claim the
land in demesne, and the tenant hastened to make his
peace.

Some further accounts of litigation — not records — bring
us to the end of what happened in the Cambridge eyre of
1286 (pp. 166 — 71). The memorialist is not a little
triumphant over the Prior's many successes, but is exceed-
ingly frank in telling us how the favour of the justices and
of their clerks was secured by generous hospitality.

We come next to a very interesting tale of prolonged
litigation in the Courts Christian between the Prior and the
Vicar of Guilden Morden (pp. 171 — 6). It shows us a
seamy side of ecclesiastical affairs. However, the documents
which were indited in the course of this obstinate struggle
are not transcribed. Probably they would have filled a
large book.

There follows a suit in an ecclesiastical court, before the
official of the Bishop of Norwich for a legacy bequeathed
to the Priory by Eva Pecch^ (p. 176).

The Men of Madingley v. 714^ Prior (pp. 177 — 9). Suit
in the Exchequer to compel the Prior as a landowner at
Madingley to contribute to the common amercements
imposed upon that vill. A vill is frequently amerced as a
unit for neglect of police duties. The orig^nal writ (§ 1 10)

Ix Introduction

is given us, and the verdict of an inquest (| iii), and we
are told that judgment went against the Prior. Apparently
the Prior based his claim to immunity on the mere fact
that he had not contributed in the past ; but we see no
pleadings. Less than we might wish has yet been done to
make available for modem students the valuable materials
that are contained on the plea rolls of the Exchequer.
The story that lies before us is typical of a great mass of
quarrels over the incidence of local imposts.

The Prior v. William son of Robert and others (p. 179).
The men of Madingley, bent on distraining the Prior for
his contribution, made the mistake of taking his beasts of
the plough. Consequently he brings against them the
action given by the Statute de Districtione Scaccarii
(51 Hen. III). The 'original' writ which refers to this
Statute, is given, but no extract from any record, The
men of Madingley made their peace with the Prior.

The Prior v. Thomas de BelhuSy Sheriffof Cambridgeshire
(pp. 180 — 2). Action of trespass vi et armis for releasing
a prisoner from the Prior^s custody and exacting a ransom
from the Prior. The writ to the sherifT ordering him to
restore the extorted money (§ 114) is preserved; also the
'original ' writ (§ 115) which, as the sheriff is defendant, is
addressed to the coroners. This is an action in the
King's Bench, as is shown by the words 'coram nobis
ubicunque fuerimus in Anglia,' which occur instead of
' coram iusticiariis nostris apud Westmonasterium,' the styie
of the Common Bench. We hear of pleading, but oniy
know that after 'a love-day had been taken,' peace was
made on the mediation of one of the justices.

The Prior v. Ralph of Leicester and the Chancellor of the
University (pp. 182 — ^4). Assize of novel disseisin. The
parties plead to issue. An order is given that the assize be
taken {ideo capiatur assisa\ but before the recognitors come
to give a verdict, the parties make peace. The record is
set forth at length. The dispute arises out of the strange
right of the University to compel the towns-folk to let
lodgings at a taxed rate. A verdict about this matter

migbt have been very interesting. Seemingly the Univer-
sity had no other base for its claim than its own ' statutes
and customs.'

Alan de Frestone v. The Prior (pp. 185 — 7). Action in
the Court of Common Pleas for the arrears of an annuity
granted by deed to endure for so long as the piaintiif
should serve the Priory as its advocate. The Prior pleads
that the plaintiff has refused his services and a specific
instance of such refiisal is alleged. In reply the plaintiff
denies the refusal. The Prior joins issue {et Prior
similiter) \ and a venire facias for jurors is awarded. The
sections (§§ 121 — 2) taken from the record should be read
before the writ (§ 120) which is the venire facias issued
after the joinder of issue. We are then told that the Prior
thought it well to malce peace at the cost of ;^I2. A
passage, which may at first sight seem obscure, is to be
explained as follows: the clerks of the court have an
interest in the success of a plaintiff, because they are
establishing a customary right to take a considerable share
of any damages that are recovered. As it is, five marks
out of the Prior's ;f 12 go to them.

A writ and a short extract from a roll (pp. 185 — 6) shew
us the Prior acquitted by a jury in an action of conspiracy
brought by one John Lpewyn ; but wherein the alleged
conspiracy consisted we do not see.

The Third Book ends with a writ declaring that the
men of Chesterton, which, as already said, is part of the
ancient demesne of the Crown, need not contribute when,
as happens from time to time, an amercement is imposed
upon the county of Cambridge (pp. 188 — 9). As a counter-
poise for their liability to tallage, the men of the ancient
demesne enjoy this immunity from 'common amercements.'

The Fourth Book contains but little that relates to liti-
gation in the temporal courts. It is filled chiefly with
events that take place between the years 1290 and 1296.
'The taxation of Pope Nicholas' in 1291 seems to have
suggested the retrospect of earlier ' taxations ' with which
the Book b^ns. Various letters of proxy are then inserted ;

Ixii Introductton

probably in order that they may serve as precedents
(pp. 205 — 9). Then we read of the difficulties occasioned
to the Priory by the settlement in Cambridge of friars of
various orders, and we see some elaborate documents which
record the compositions which have to be made with them.
These documents deserve the attention of those who would
study the style in which the acts of the ecclesiastical courts
are committed to writing. Then also we are told a little
about some important events in national histoiy, the
i;nemoralist becoming for the time almost a chronicler.
The only matter that it is for me to mention is almost
sufficientiy explained by the editorial note on p. 228. Two
of the Prior's tenants having been convicted of felony,
their land escheats to him ; but the King is entitied to the
ancient right of ' year, day and waste ' : that is, he may
tiold the land for year and day and lay it waste. A writ
(§ 38) issues directing the sheriff to hold an inquest to
ascertain what land the felons held and to set a value upon
it The verdict of this inquest is transcribed (§ 37). Then
we have a writ proceeding from the Exchequer telling the
sheriff that the Prior has compounded for (* made fine for ')
the King's right by a sum of ;^I2, and that the land is to be
delivered to him. Lastly an extract from the Exchequer
Memoranda (§ 40) witnesses this concession.

The Fifth Book, which is not here printed, consists of
Statutes of the Realm. The Sixth consists of a copy of a
very interesting record. It is a list of the dues that can be
exacted by the sheriff of Cambridge and Huntingdon,
copied from a roll that was kept by the sheriff in the castle
at Cambridge. These dues are of various kinds. In the
first place the duty of attending the county court as a
suitor has, in some manner that is still dark to us, become
radicated in certain parcels of land, so that we can say of a
particular holding that it ^ owes a suit {debet sectam)! Then
Uie sheriff 's aid had likewise become rooted in the soil, and
so have the * ward-pennies/ and so has the pontage» the
duty of repairing the Great Bridge. Looking at this roll,
the sheriff could tell what he had to collect from every

By F. JV. MaUland, LL.D. Ixiii

village in the county. These dues, together with some
profits of the courts, are the sources of revenue that he
* farms ' from the King. A close study of this document
side by side with the Hundred Rolls might lead to some
important results, for of the history of the county court, the
sherifTs aid, the ward-pennies and the like we as yet know
all too little.

The Seventh and last Book is in effect a rental of the
lands belonging to the Priory. The information that it
gives us is of a familiar kind, but owing to the preserva-
tion of this Liber Mefnorandarum we have a singularly good
opportunity of investigating the temporal and economic
side of the history of a religious house. I do not know of
any monastic book which displays so many and such
various entries from judicial records. It remains to be
seen whether my brief notes about them will in degree
help Mr Clark to attract readers to the text on which he
has expended his zeal and his learning.

ECCLESIE DE BERNWELLE

LIBER PRIMUS.

Prologus in librum memorandorum ecclesie
conuentualis de Bemewelle,

Sole ad occasum tendente, feruor diei tepescit, et mundo '°^°|^<*<'
senescente, caritas refrigescit. Sed, quia scriptum est, ubi "^^^-
refrigescit caritas ibi dominatur iniquitas, non est mirum si
fraus dolus et malicia, ceteraque uicia in mundo pululent ;
sed magis timendum est, si conualescant, quod totum
mundum suo ueneno inficient. Quia tamen pie creditur
quod, ubi est spiritus dei, ibi erit et libertas ; serui dei
quamuis pressuras paciantur in mundo, non tamen con-
fundentur in tempore malo. Sed saluabit eos dominus, et
liberabit eos, et eruet eos a peccatoribus quia sperauerunt
in eo. Quapropter, ut serui dei de cetero liberius euadant
manus hominum impiorum, per omnipotentis dei adiutorium,
ex quo certum est quod humana memoria labilis est, opere
precium est in scriptis aliqua redigere, que ecclesie nostre
utilitati possint proficere, et fratribus nostris, modemis et
post futuris, in suis angustiis, et seuientis mundi persecuti-
onibus, per inspectionem huius libelli subuenire. Ad hoc
igitur opus congrue perficiendum spiritus sancti gracia
suum prestet^ auxilium.

fratres satis diligens, et ab eis satis dilectus, qui adeo J^?!:„y,
liberaliter et socialiter fratribus in claustro considentibus
considebat; adeo dulciter et amicabiliter in capitulo in
fratribus clamandis, et excessibus corrigendis, procedebat ;
adeo liberaliter et hylariter in refectorio uultu [et] gestu se
gerebat, ut a nonnuUis sibi ad fatuitatem reputaretur, et
non preesse, sed coesse, uel subesse diceretur. Iste uero
beati Egidij ecclesie sue patroni per omnia secutus ues-
tigia, parentibus eius in pace defunctis, patrimonii sui quod f. ^ib
satis magnum remanserat Christum fecit heredem. Totam
terram Osberti Domesman patris sui scilicet sepcies viginti
acras in campis de Cantebrigia, nec non mansuras in
burgo quam plures, in communem fratrum deduxit utili-
tatem. Duas hydas terre in Maddingelaia adquisiuit ;
ecclesiam de Wendena negligencia sui predecessoris de-
perditam reuocauit; possessionem aliquam numquam alien-
auit, nec spe uel cupiditate pecunie adipiscende hereditarie

intrauit granarium, et manibus suis propriis dedit prebendam

quia Rex villam illam cum omnibus libertatibus et

nos religiosi sumus et uos persona religiosa, rogamus
uos quatinus non faciatis nobis deterius quam fecit nobis

Exchaetor uero adhuc in malicia sua persistens ait:
Cedulam unam ostenditis mihi, sed quia sigillum Regis
appensum non uideo, scripture fidem non adhibeo. Tunc
Prior turbatus corde recessit ab eius presencia, petens
cartam Regis sibi restitui. Sed clericus exchaetoris, qui
cartam legit, noluit eam restituere quousque Prior fecerit
eidem dari . XII . denarios. Videns igitur Prior maliciam
hospitis sui exchaetoris, uocatis ad se duobus canonicis suis,
ait : Video quod homo iste durus est et cupidus. Eatis
ergo et dicatis ei ex parte nostra: Domine, nos sumus
religiosi sicut et uos. Precamur igitur quatinus si placet
hac vice parcatis nobis pro deo, et nos secreto dabimus

dicens : Putatis uos quod ego sum proditor Regis ? Vere,
inquit, essem proditor, si facerem Regem perdere . XV .
libras pro quadraginta solidis ad opus meum proprium.
Absit hoc a me.

Canonici uero audientes clamorem confusi exierunt
continuo. Clericus uero eius accurrens post tergum eorum
ait : Mandat uobis Dominus meus quod uult parcere uobis
eo quod religiosi estis, si ei detis unum palefridum precii
. V . marcarum. Canonici uero dixerunt super hoc, uolumus
consulere Priorem. Venientes autem nunciauerunt hec
omnia Priori. Tunc ait Prior: Expedit quod ei demus
palefridum, quia de duobus malis minus malum est magis
eligendum. Tunc ait unus de Canonicis : Ecce, domine,
qualiter noluit esse proditor Regis pro . XL . solidis, sed
pro . V . marcis consensit. Faciatis ergo per consilium
meum et nunquam dabitis ei unum obolum. Et canonicus
ille in crastino ascendens equum, assumpto secum uno
garcione tantum, uenit ad scaccarium Regis et ibi mala
gracia exchaetoris habuit breue Regis de rotulis quod Prior
et homines sui de Cestertone quieti esse deberent, etc.

Iterum autem ueniens exchaetor apud Bemewelle
accepit hospicium, sed uix uoluerunt Canonici bono oculo
respicere in eum. Postea misit unum de monachis suis ad
Priorem pro duabus marcis ad acquietandum allec suum ;
et Prior respondit : Quando, inquit, fui ego creditor eius ut
allec suum acquietarem ? Et noluit ei dare unum obolum ;
et sic quietus est Prior usque in presentem diem. Deinde
fecit ieuare talliagium de hominibus suis de Cestertone, et
retinuit ad opus suum proprium.

pro habenda mencione
Et de dimidia marca

Et quia non est prosecutus
Et de seriancia
quia non est prosecutus. Et quieti sunt.

My friend Professor Maitland most kindly obtained for me the necessary
extracis from the Pipe Rolls, 54 Henry III, and rearranged the text, as above.
The passages in the Pipe Rolls are :

Prior de Bemewelle reddit compotum de dimidia marca pro retinendis cxli
acris in Cmnberton sicut continetur in rotulo xxxiii ; et de dimidia marca pro
eodem de anno preterito. In thesauro liberavit. Et quietus est.

Prior de Bemewelle reddit compotum de dimidia marca, quia non pro-
sccntus. In thesauro liberavit et quietus est.

Prior de Bemewelle reddit compotum de dimidia marca pro habenda
mencione.

The last two entries no doubt concem the proceedings in the recent eyre at
Cambridge. The ' mencio * refers to an entry to be made on a roll.

de Bernewelle, die natiuitatis Sancti Johannis Baptiste,
anno regni Regis Edwardi secundo, recognouit quod furatus

39. Qualiter Prior de Bemewelle fuit dolose circumuentus
per Cancellarium Vniuersitatis Cantebrigie.

Qvia magnis et sapientibus uiris uisum est quod Ecclesia Sjl^SJJ*
de Bernewelle enormiter lesa est ad soluendum inperpetuum anLar «nd
annuatim .x. marcas, cum pecunia quam canonici receperant chanceiior
infra .xx. annorum spacium totaliter fuit ipsis capellanis u^veraiHr
soluta, vnde accepto saniori consilio ad impetrandum S^^^
per curiam romanam in hac parte remedium propositum at law.
fuit quod Prior nec aliquis potuit uel debuit dampnificare
ecclesiam. Et hoc consilium peruenit ad aures magistri
Stephani^ tunc Cancellarii vniuersitatis Cantebrigie. Et
ipse quidem caute agens leuauit breue de arreragiis super
Priorem duorum annorum, et tamen nichil debuit. Verump-
tamen Prior inde perterritus in itinere Justiciariorum
apud Cantebrigiam statim consensit ad leuandum inde
cyrographum in Curia Regis. Et ex quo semel concessit,
quamuis consilium suum reclamasset. W[illelmus] de
Saham tunc Justiciarius eum compulit ad leuandum dictum
cyrographum, cuius tenor taHs est :

40. Cyrographum.

Hec est finalis concordia facta in Curia Domini Regis apud The ftnal
Cantebrigiam a die sancti Johannis Baptiste in vnum mensem, anno llS^^iS a^
regni Regts Eadwardi filii Regis Henrici quartodecimo, coram Johanne ^r^^rtiea
de Vallibus, Willelmo de Saham, Rogero Loueday, Johanne de <4 B^-

de Skeming Cancellarium vniuersitatis Cantebrigie querentem, per
Magistrum Adam de Flixton positum ioco suo ad lucrandum uei
perdendum, et Symonem Priorem de Bernewelle, de hoc quod idem
Prior summonitus fuit ad ostendendum quare cum idem Prior duobus
sacerdotibus in theologia in vniuersitate Cantebrigie studentibus et
pro anima Magistri Willelmi de Kilkenni quondam Elyensis Episcopi
diuina celebrantibus, decem roarcas ad sustentacionem eorundem
sacerdotum singulis annis persoluere debeat, et ipse et Jolanus quondam
Prior de Bemewelie predecessor suus persoluere consueuemnt per
cartam ipsius Jolani et sui Conuentus quam predictus Cancellarius

optemperans, vnum equm veteranum magnum et macillen-

128 Election of Prior Synton [book

Quapropter viribus corporis cepit paulatim destitui, in
tantum quod diceret fratribus suis se iam morbo sontico
laborare, nec posse se vlterius ad defensionem domus
sufficere. Et tamen toto tempore suo bona temporalia
sufficiebant, non tantum ad usum fratrum sed eciam
omnium ibidem declinancium. Studuit ergo sollicite
qualiter potuit sue quieti prouideri. Vno igitur eodemque
die uenit Episcopus Elyensis apud Bemewelle et patronus
noster dominus G. Pecche. Episcopus quoque intrauit
capitulum, et exposuit imbecillitatem Prioris coram con-
uentu, et quod habuit uoluntatem cedendi. Et ualde
admirati sunt fratres tam de rumoribus, quam de aduentu

Recedente uero episcopo remansit magister Symon
de Ascelle qui tunc erat officialis episcopi ut interesset
eleccioni. Petitaque licencia de patrono qui tunc presens
erat eligendi, conuenerunt fratres in capitulum eodem
die, et inuocata gracia spiritus sancti statim tractatum
fecerunt de electione. Concessaque tribus de senioribus
potestate audiendi uota singulorum per scrutinium, et
pronunciandi in scriptis quem sanior pars elegerit,
omnes exierunt de capitulo, exceptis tribus prenotatis.
At illi, incipientes a senioribus singillatim audierunt in
secretis uota singulorum, et in scriptis redigerunt. Quo
facto, conuenerunt omnes fratres in capitulum, et unus
trium predictorum pronunciauit in scriptis magistrum

subprior stans iuxta eum oracionem consuetam. Sur-
gensque electus statim presentatus est patrono, qui tunc
presens erat in ecclesia, et ille gaudens admisit eum, et

^ There is some mistake here, the Translation of S. Augustine being on
Sept 6 and the Feast of S. Luke on Oct. i8. It has been suggested that our
chronider ought to have written for S. Luke*s day the Feast of the Exaltation
of the Cross, Sept. 14. The words in octam dU would then mean, on the
eighth day after the Translation. We ought perhaps to read *' in [x]viij^ die

Duo carucarij Prioris in villa de Waterbeche quadam
nocte inebriati portauerunt ignem in boueriam, et ipsis
dormientibus subito creuit flamma et combussit domum
in qua iacebant, et omnes domos que erant in curia,
excepto horreo tantum. Equi eciam et boues et cetera
animalia combusta sunt et mortua, et in tantum fetebant
quod senescallus fecit ea festinanter sepeliri. Predicti uero
carucarij per clamorem animalium fuerunt a sompno ex-
pergefacti, vnde vnus eorum transiuit per medium flamme
nudus ; et male concrematus quasi amens fugit usque ad
villam de Impitone, et residuum tocius uite sue vixit in
languore. Alter uero carucarius, exitum inuenire nesciens,
concrematus est usque ad mortem, vnde corpus eius misera-
bile inuentum est in crastino ad modum porci ustulati, et
ualde horribile ad inspiciendum. Prior uero et canonici sui
eodem tempore multum erant grauati propter amissionem
temporalium, sed multo magis angustiati in mente propter
infortunium hominum. Verumptamen coronator ita caute
fecit officium suum quod Prior quoad curiam regis dampnum
non habuit nec iacturam.

fieret Priori. Et ecce feria quarta ante diem Pasche
uenerunt duo mercatores, diuites et magni nominis, de
partibus Stamforde, et alij tres extranei in comitiua sua
facientes transitum per villam de Caxtone, et ibidem ut
dicebatur biberunt simul. Deinde, simul militantes per
uiam que appellatur Ermingstrete^ venerunt sub bosco
Prioris antedicto post solis occasum ea hora qua homines
conuenerunt ad ecclesiam ad audiendum matutinas que
appellantur Tenebre^ et ibi fecerunt extranei insultum in
mercatores, et eos uulnerauerunt, et de equis suis pro-
strauerunt et interfecerunt Clamor uero mercatorum
auditus est usque ad ecclesiam de Stowe, sed ipsi predones
acceptis omnibus eadem nocte uenerunt ad villam de Cruce
Royse*. Requisiti autem quare ita erant uulnerati, et
quare eorum vestimenta erant sanguinolenta, responderunt
quod latrones uoluerunt eos interfecisse per uiam et quod
eorum manus uix euaserunt cum vita. Quid plura? In
crastino quidem inuenti erant mercatores mortui, et statim
euolauit fama per circuitum quod dictus Petrus de Bui^o how Pctcr

pro suis apud coronatorem, qui uenire fecit bonam in-
quisicionem, et inquisicio dicebat quod dictus Petrus non
erat culpabilis de morte mercatorum, quoniam eodem die
et eadem hora qua erant interfecti fuit dictus Petrus ad
ecclesiam de Brunne ad audiendum matutinas tenebrarum.
Et sic erat saluatus a morte ueraciter.

iii] Story of Emeric de Rochechouart 151

70. De magistro Emericio de Rupe Cawardi,

Quidam clericus alienigena uocatus magister Emericius Jf*g^^^
de Rupe Cawardi* deprehensus fuit in villa Cantebrigie per cjjj^rt*'
dominum Henricum de Hastinges in tempore guerre et
carceri mancipatus. Qui cum diceret se posse inuenire
fideiussores suflficientes de redempcione sua facienda, ad-
ductus est usque ad portam de Bemewelle uinculis astrictus,
rogauitque Priorem Julianum" humiliter quod fideiuberet
pro eo. Sed Prior noluit, tum quia alienagena {sic) fuit, tum
quia instabat tempus guerre. Et sic adductus erat idem
magister usque in SuflF[olchiam], et carceri mancipatus
quousque suam fecit redempcionem. Liberatus uero de
prisona profectus London, expectans feliciora tempora.
Adueniente uero tempore pacis fecit citari Priorem de
Bernewelle coram judicibus suis delegatis, petens ab eo
centum libras sterlingorum eo quod, cum clericus esset,
debuit eum liberasse de manibus inimicorum suorum, et
noluit. Prior uero defendebat se uiriliter, et datus est alius
dies eidem Priori loco quo prius, ad recipiendum et facien-
dum quod jus dictauerit. Perpendens Prior itaque quod
non poterat ibi diu litigare sine laboribus et expensis
grauioribus, fecit cum eodem magistro pacem pro decem
libris sterlingorum quas ei soluit infra breue tempus. Et
sustinuit Prior iacturam et dampnum vnde prius non
habuerat emolumentum.

Henricus Tuyllet de Cantebrigia tenuit quoddam me-
suagium [in] Cantebrigia de Priore de Bernewelle reddendo
inde duodecim denarios per annum. Processu temporis
videns Willelmus Tuyllet quod dictus H[enricus] filius eius
in tantum depauperatus erat quod non sufficiebat ad
domorum suarum reparacionem, sumptibus suis propriis
fecit domos filii sui reparari, ipso nichilominus filio semper
inhabitante, et statum suum non mutante. Verumptamen
inter cetera hostium domus per quod balliui Prioris solebant
intrare ad distringendum pro redditu Prioris obstupauit, et
murum ibidem fecit, et iuxta domum illam super feodum
alienum portas suas fecit, per quas habuit ingressum et
egressum. Videns ergo Prior quod non potuit peruenire
ad distringendum feodum suum pro redditu qui sibi a
retro erat nisi transitum faceret per feodum alienum, quod
non licuit, impetrauit breue noue disseisine super eundem
Henricum, etc.

81. Irrotulacio,

Assysa uenit recognitura si Henricus Tuyllet iniuste etc. disseisiuit
Priorem de Bernewelle de libero tenemento suo in Cantebrigia post
primam transfretacionem etc. £t vnde queritur quod disseisitus est de
duodecim denarijs prouenientibus de quodam mesuagio quod posuit
in visu suo, ita scilicet quod ubi distringere potuit pro predicto
redditu, cum a retro fuerit, predictus H[enncus] predictum tenementum
quodam muro inclusit, quominus tenementum predictum pro redditu
predicto distringere potest etc

£t Henricus uenit et dicit quod ipse nullam iniuriam fecit aut
disseisinam. Dicit enim quod quidam Willelmus pater ipsius
Henrici cuius heres ipse est predictum tenementum quod posuit in
visu suo inclusit, et toto tempore suo inclusum tenuit. Post cuius
mortem ipse successit ei in eodem ut filius eius et heres, et tenementum
illud inclusum inuenit, et statum illum hucusque continuauit ; et quod
aliam iniuriam non fecit ponit se super assysam.

Juratores dicunt super sacramentum suum quod predictus Henricus
non inclusit predictum tenementum predicto muro. Dicunt enim
quod predictus Willelmus pater ipsius Henrici tenementum illud
inclusit.

£t ideo consideratum est quod predictus Prior nichil capiat per
assysam istam, sed sit in misericordia pro falso clamore etc

H[enricus] erat dominus domus et auctor disseisine et
domum tempore disseisine inhabitauit tanquam dominus.

Hoc audientes . xij . timuerunt ualde, vnde predictus
Henricus Tuyllet timens sibi dampnum imminere uenit
cum lacrimis ad Priorem, et genuflectens petebat graciam
eius, et dominus Lambertus clericus justiciariorum uenit
cum eo, et multum orauit pro eo.

Tunc Prior ad preces domini Lamberti condonauit ei
medietatem arreragiorum, et aliam medietatem soluit. Et
iurauit idem Henricus tactis euangelijs quod citra festum
exaltacionis sancte crucis frangeret parietem, et in eodem
loco quo prius faceret hostium per quod Prior posset dis-
tringere feodum suum quandocunque uoluerit pro redditu

Recordof Prior de Bernewelle optulit^ se quarto die uersus Johannem

et recta seruicia que ei facere debent de libero tenemento quod de eo
tenent in Cantebrigia, ut in redditibus, anferagiis] et alijs seruicijs etc.
£t ipsi non ueniunt, et pluries fecerunt defaltas. Ideo preceptum est
vicecomiti quod distringat eos per omnes terras, etc. ; et quod de
exitibus etc. ; et quod habeat corpora eorum apud Westmonasterium
a die Sancti Michaelis in vnum mensem etc.

Thewidow Vcrumptamen dicta Cecilia, nolens ulterius fatigari,

her ciaim uenit postea ad cunam de Cantebrigia vna cum viro suo, et

ibidem coram maiore et balliuis et alijs multis quietum

clamauit Priori totum jus et clameum quod habuit in dictis

tenementis ; et Prior per canonicos suos statim recepit

saysynam.

butasno Quia igitur dicta Cecilia habet uirum cui contradicere

beenievied non potuit, et quia non fecit hanc quietam clamacionem

yetsecure. coram justiciarijs qui recorda portant, timendum est quod

f-59l) uelit iterum dicta tenementa calumpniare cum tempus

uiderit oportunum. Et ideo predicta Cecilia uiuente non

est securum dicta tenementa edificare, vel eciam uendere

alicui faciendo cartam warantie sine consilio saniori.

Rejoinder

ofthe

Prior.

Odieme terram iUam tenuit de eo per seruicium militare. £t vnde
dicit quod predictus Thomas tenuit de eo predictam terram^ per
seruicium militare, scilicet per homagium et seruicium trium denario-
rum, ad scutagium . xl . solidorum quando euenerit, et ad plus plus, et
ad minus minus ; et per seruicium decem et octo denariorum per
annum, et de quibus seruicijs idem Walterus fuit seisitus per manum
predicti Thome ut de feodo et jure*. Et idem Thomas in homagio suo
obijt, et ea racione [dicit] custodiam predictorum tenementorum ad
ipsiun pertinere. Vnde dicit quod per hoc quod predictus Prior pre-
dictam custodiam ei deforciauit deterioratus est et dampnum habet ad
valenciam .c. solidorum, et inde producit sectam etc.

£t Prior uenit et defendit vim et iniuriam quando etc, et dicit
quod ipse tenet predictam medietatem, cuius custodiam predictus
Walterus petit, ut jus ecdesie sue, vnde pctit judicium si de jure
ecclesie sue predicto W[altero] ad breue istud de custodia debeat
respondere etc.

£t Walterus dicit quod predictus Thomas tenuit predicta tene-
menta de eo per seruicium militare, et obijt seysitus de eisdem
tenementis in homagio et seruicio suo. £t hoc paratus est verificare,
sicut curia consid[eraverit], et ea racione predicta custodia predictorum
tenementorum ad ipsum pertinere debet. £t predictus Prior nichil
dicit quod sit contrarium racioni sue per quam ipse asserit predictam
custodiam ad ipsum pertinere, cum racio Prioris sit hec, scilicet quod
predicta tenementa nunc sunt jus ecclesie sue, et racio ipsius Walteri
sit quod predictus Thomas, die quo fuit uiuus et mortuus, tenuit
predicta tenementa de eo per seruicium militare. Possunt simul et
semel esse uere. Petit judicium de ipso Priore tamquam de indefenso,

de Gipwyco, iudex delegatus, inhibuit ei sub pena ex-
communicationis ne procederet. Ipse archidiaconus tunc
remisit causam archiepiscopo, et archiepiscopus iterum
fecit citare Priorem ut compareret coram eo ubicunque
esset in prouincia. Sed Prior de Gipwyco inhibuit archi-
episcopo ne procederet Sed archiepiscopus de eius
inhibicione non curauit, sed Priorem de Bemewelle excom-
municauit Prior de Bemewelle appellauit ad dominum
papam et ad tuicionem sedis Cantuariensis, et impetrauit
a decano de arcubus inhibicionem clericis archiepiscopi ne
procederent Tunc iratus archiepiscopus fecit citari Priorem
de Gipwyco, sed Prior de Bernewelle conseruauit eum
indempnem. Tunc Lucas vicarius conduxit plures juuenes
ut ui asportarent decimas quas archiepiscopus ei adiudi-
cauit, et per decanum de Papworthe eundem misit in
possessionem per unam garbam quam posuit super magnum
altare de Mordone. Sed canonici de Bemewelle cum
manu forti ibi accedentes omnes ipsius Luce machinaciones
impediuerunt Sed et vicecomes Cantebrigie per litteram
proteccionis quam receperat a domino Rege omnes iuuenes
quos vicarius conduxerat cito fugauit Quod uidens iiie
Lucas vicarius per amicos suos impetrauit in curia Regis
aliud breue de protectione, et per illud exinaniuit protecti-
onem Prioris. Quapropter vicecomes Cantebrigie decimas
ipsas coUegit, et reponi fecit quasi in equali manu etc.
Sed Prior dolens quod iam sublata erat ei possessio
decimarum, misit canonicum suum ad curiam Regis, qui
impetrauit contra ipsum Lucam breue Regis et litteras
Regine, et datus est dies coram Baronibus de Scaccario.
Quid plura? Coram Priore de Gipwyco iterum uocatus
Lucas et ab eo excommunicatus. Per multos dies compar-
uenint partes coram Priore de sancto Albano auctoritate

Regis' quam profert et que hoc testatur*. £t dicit quod ipse super

Proioffue. Olim ad submei^endam nauiculam Petri mare seuiebat,
sed ipse dominus interim dormiebat Excitatus autem
a discipulis dominus imperauit uentis et mari, et facta
est tranquillitas. Sic utique diebus istis ad deprimendam
Ecclesiam dei mundus seuit Nonne mater Ecclesia per
nepharias extorsiones tricesime, vicesime, quintedecime»
decime, et tandem mediet.atis, et procuracionum multi-
plicium quasi submergenda deprimitur? Ecce mater
ecclesia, quia Christi sponsa, solet esse libera, sed iam
facta est sub tributo. Jam, sicut populus, ita seruit et
clerus ; sed, quod deterius est, plus deprimitur honor
clericorum, quam status laicorum. Verumptamen quid
dominus facturus sit, cum ad sponse sue ecclesie libera-
cionem quasi a sompno surgens oculos misericordie sue
aperuerit ? propheta longe ante de preterito premonstrauit
dicens : Et excitatus est tanquam dormiens dominuSy tan-
quam potens crapulatus a uino^ et percussit inimicos suos in

est terribilis ictus descendens super summitatem crucis que
erat super altitudinem turris, et statim exiuit ignis in
tantum quod quasi poma aurea descendebant scintille in
medio chori, vnde canonici erant uehementer perterriti.
Post completorium uero exeuntes canonici uiderunt
C 84 b scintillas uolantes a summitate crucis, vnde plures canonici
et seculares ascendentes interius usque ad summitatem turris,
nichil ibidem mali inuenerunt, quia uidelicet ignis erat
supra crucem exterius, et descendentes dixerunt nichil esse
timendum. Verumptamen ignis semper descendebat,
consumens crucem usque ad collum^ in quo diu ardebat,
nec tamen exterius apparebat Vnde fratres aliquantulum
confortati putabant ignem euanuisse. Sed consumpto collo'
cecidit ferrum quod portabat uentilogium simul cum cruce,
et tunc terribiliter uolauerunt scintille ignee quasi sagitte,
et plumbum eliquatum quasi folia niuis, et combusserunt
uicinorum domos primo remociores et postmodum propin-
quiores. Ventus interea erat ita uehemens et frigidus quod
nullus sibi uel alijs potuit subuenire. Ignis quoque furebat
et tota nocte illa ardebat et die sequente usque ad occasum
solis. De turre uero cecidit ignis super chorum, et con-
sumpsit. Quot dampna tunc sustinuimus de tabulis fractis,
de orologio, de plumbo, de fenestris, de campanis fractis,
de dampno uicinorum, de expensis factis circa reparacionem
omnium, deus omnipotens nouit.

deberet reconsecrari, alij autem dicebant non, sed tantum
reconciliari, ad peticionem cuiusdam canonici annuit
dominus episcopus Elyensis, scilicet dominus Johannes de ,
Kyrkebi*, uenire ad certum diem. Quo ueniente, et ut
moris est facta oracione coram magno altare, dixit Symon
Prior episcopo : Domine non habetis hic aliquid ad facieftdunt.
Et episcopus : Si non restat^ hic aliquid faciendum\ ego
recedam. Et eleuans oculos ad locum combustum^ EccCy
inquit, uestigia apparent, Quo dicto recessit festinanter
cum indignacione, ita quod ascenderet equum antequam
Prior uel aiiquis de conuentu posset ad eum pertingere.
Et sic cum furore recedens excommunicauit omnes inhabi-
tantes, quapropter dolor omnium renouatus est. Verump-
tamen in crastino relaxauit sentenciam. Sed eius indignacio

. ** , factionaof

ecclesie nostre obijt magister Robertus de Fulbume, cuius pj}2|j*^*
anime deus omnipotens misereatur, et det ei requiem in
lumine uiuencium. Temporibus nostris non fuit amicus
inuentus similis illi, qui tot et tanta bona contulerit ecclesie
nostre. Viuenti quidem aliquando tenebamur in .ccc.
marcis quas nobis mutuo tradidit et in potenciam nostre
solucionis pacienter sustinuit. Multum quidem beniuolus
nobis extitit, et hoc in morte sua patenter ostendit.
Habitum quidem nostrum humiliter pecijt, et Prior noster
Symon ipsum in domo sua propria inde uestiuit, ac
deinceps, usque ad obitum suum, canonicus quidam cum
eo permansit. Mortuus quoque delatus est apud Bemeweile
cum honore magno et in ecclesia coram altare Sancti
Augustini sub lapide marmoreo sepultus. Quot bona per
eum ecclesie nostre remanserunt paucis sermonibus explicari
non possunt. Duo quidem palefridi, qui corpus portauemnt,
remanserunt, disci et ciphi multi, librorum copia multa.
Quid plura ? Vt breuiter loquar, totum debitum, in quo ei
tenebamur, nobis dimissum est, et obligacio canceilata,
vnde creditur quod post mortem eius singulis computatis
usque ad summam quingentarum marcarum de bonis ipsius
defuncti respexit deus ecclesiam nostram ; sed qualiter ista
pecunia cito fuit exhausta deus nouit. Preterea idem HUgiftof

52. De creacione Regis Scocie et eius ingratitudiue,

r«nd?°ia92. succedcrc in regnum per decensum sanguinis, et de jure
hereditario. Quapropter clerici multi sapientes in unum
conuocati ad consilium Regis Anglie suntsuper hoc consulti.
Sed decretum fuit quod jus regni ad vnum de duobus
debuit pertinere, videlicet ad dominum Johannem de
Baillol, uel ad dominum Robertum de Brus. Sed utrobique
multe fuerunt promissiones ut alter suo juri cederet;
verumptamen neuter uoluit consentire, quia multum
optabant regnare, quamuis multa essent oblata et concessa.
Tandem domino Rege Anglie elaborante concesserunt
indictum militum utriusque regni procerum, et sic adeptus
est dominus J[ohannes] de Bayllol regnum Scocie, et fecit
homagium Regi Anglie, positusque est in sede regni sui
ante Natale domini, anno eiusdem .m^cc°. nonogesimo

in festo sancti Petri ad vincula. Ad istud parliamentum
Johannes rex Scocie uocatus, uenire contempsit, sed sciens
discordiam esse inter Regem Anglie et Regem Francie, ad
partem Regis Francie, ut dicebatur, inclinauit. Quapropter
Rex Anglie omnes terras quas idem Johannes Baylol [Rex]
Scocie tenuit infra fines Anglie in manus suas confiscauit.
Scotici uero, quasi Regi Francie obsecundantes, ad modum
Francorum faciunt sibi duodecim pares. Vnde Rex
Angh'e, de communi consilio, ne Franci*, Scottis conglobati,
malum terre Anglorum inferrent, misit exercitum copiosum
ad partes Scocie, vna cum episcopo Dunelmensi, et Comite
Warennie, et Roberto de Brus de quo superius dictum est
Et in festo sancti Valenti[ni] Rex Edwardus anno regni
sui .xxiiii. cum multitudine armatorum versus Scociam iter
arripuit, et in primo conflictu ciuitatem de Berwyk cepit Berwicicon
cum fortitudine magna; et omnes resistentes, tam marestauenby
quam feminas, interfecit, et quasi infinitos thesauros ibidem Bdward,
reppent, et ciuitatem muniuit, et circumfossauit Interim ^^sfi-
Scotti, per consilium Ricardi Syward, multa mala fecerunt
Angh'cis in partibus de Karel', et combusserunt usque
ad .XXX. uillas Anglicorum, et multos occiderunt. Sed cito
fecit dominus uindictam in eis. Rex enim Anglie cum
exercitu suo progrediens cepit castra eorum, et in prima
acie quasi una hora diei totum exercitum Scottorum uertit
in fugam. Vnde ueraciter dictum est : Scotkus in bello non
ualet oua duo. Comites barones et milites Scottorum, et
ipsum Ricardum Syward cepit, et per diuersa loca et
castra Anglie custodiendos destinauit Et ipsum Johannem lohn of
Baillol Regem Scocie vna cum filio suo, in festo sancti Petri impriaoned

«bjurare : to take an oath to remain out of England, i.e. to renounce the realm,
to be exiled. Abjuravit terram Anglie, 89

acquietare: to acquit, to discharge firom an obligation. Acquietabunt omnia
dominia appredata per visum legalium hominum sine aliqua occasione, 74,
" they [the tenants] shall discharge, without demur, all [the Prior^s] demesnes
from all dues and rates assessed on them by the verdict of a jury *'

albi nummi, 75: = albi denarii, candide libre, album argentum, libre blance, white
silver. For the following essay I have to thank W. J. Corbett, M. A. : "The
phrase *white silver* appears as early as the Laws of Alfred. The Latin
phrase *albi nummi* and its equivalents first appear in Domesday, in
speaking of the rents due from certain crown manors. The phrase, however
worded, is a technical one for denoting one of the modes of money payment
in nse in the collection of the King*s rents.
The chief modes were :

(1) Payment by tale (ad numerum) : the least exacting form of payment,
any 940 pennies being accepted as equivalent to £\ of rent due.

(i) Payment by weight (ad pensum): in this case face value was not
accepted, but a full pound*s weight of coins was dcmanded to acquit eacb
£\ dne.

326 Glossary

(3) Paymeni in cusayed metal (ad pensam et arsttram, librse aisse et
pensatse): the pennies being first melted down and the silver redoced to
standard fineness and then weighed ont in pounds to aoqait each £1 due.
This practice dates from before the Conquest

These were the usual modes, but - there occur as well, though only
sporadically :

(4) Paymeni by tale in picked coins of full weig&t (de viginti in ora) : that
is to say only pennies were accepted, every 30 of which did actually weigfa
a full oonce (ora).

(5) Payments in white or bUsnched money (de albo argento) : in this case
approximately full payment was secured, without the trouble of assajring or
weighing, by accepting payment by tale (ad numerum), but demanding, as
a precaution against light and bad coins above the sum due, a further fixed
percentage of so many pennies for every J^\ due.

In Henry I*s reign this was called payment ad scalam and the percentage
demanded was 6d. in the £1. In later reigns the percentage was raised.
Hence when John granted the crown manor of Chesterton to the monks of
Bamwell at a rent of ;f 30 sieriingorum hiancorum (p. 76) it really meant, as
we see from the accounts rendered to the Exchequer in 1169, 1370, 1378
(pp. 83, 84), a payment by tale of ^^31 ; that is to say the monks sent 340^.
to the Exchequer in addition to ;^3o, or 8^ extra for each £1 due to blanch
it. — This, however, was lower than the usual rate for blanching, which came
.to be i%d. in the £1 **

allec : salt fish, perhaps herring, 74 ; also fish preserved in brine, as coatrasted
with fish salted and dried. Glossary to Observamces ; Fowler, Glossary

altaragium: small tithes. '*This Word indudes not onlythe Offerings made
upon the Altar, but also all the Profit that arises to the Priest by Reason of

annus, dies, et vastum : year, day, and waste, 338. It was part of the king*s
prerogative to seize the land of a felon for a year and a day, and duriog that
period to cut down timber or open mines — in legal language to waste the
property, because these acts diminished the capital value — withoat having
to answer for the waste so committed to the pcrsons to whom the estate
ultimately reverted. Cowel, s.v. Year, Day, and Waste

apocha : a receipt

appreciare, 74 : to assess for rates or fines

arramiare : to arraign. Ad assisam nove disseisine capiendam quam Prior de
Bemewelle arramiavii coram vobis, 106

The word is usually written adramire or arramire. See Ducange, s.v.,
and N. £. Dict. s.v. arraign

arrura : a day*s work with the plough on the Iord's demesne ; one of the services
due from the villeins; but commuted, as at Chesterton» 138, into a money
payment at the rate of a penny for each arrara

arBas : money tested by fire to assure its fineness. This was done at the king*8
Exchequer in the case of certain rents due to the Crown. The word occurs
only in the phrase, libras arscu et pensatas, 75. See albi nummi

assisa nove disseisine : assize of novel dlsseisin, 104. These words were first

reaping for the lord of the manor at harvest time, 396, 397. The servioe was
due from the holders of virgates and' half virgates.

Professor Skeat has kindly sent me the following history of the word :
the A.S. daegwine means *'a da/s pay,'* or, '*a day^s earnings,'' from the
verb tfHut to gain. It seems here to mean "a^ day's work.*' It oocurs in
glosses, e.g. "expensa, daeguuini** (early gloss): and ''Diarium, daegwine.*'
The usual for{n, not in compounds, is win or ^ewin^ which usually means
"labour,** but also "gain.** The N. E. Dict. has "Iwin, gain, profit,"
which represents A.S. gewin

decenna: a tithing, a group of ten persons associated together in connection with
the institution called frank pledge, for mutual security. It will be convenient
to sketch briefly this curious system while explaining the first word belonging
toit.

It was held that every male of the age of twelve years, be he free, be he
serf, ought to be in a frank pledge and a tithing. It was the duty of the
vill in which he resided to see that this formality had been complied with.
If he is accused of a crime and is not forthcoming, and the vill has fiuled

1 I have to thank W. J. Corbett, M.A., for this excellent description o(cuU$tra,

Glossary 329

in this daty, it will be amerced. If on the other hand he was. in a tithingi
the amercement will fidl on the tithing. The maintenanoe of the system was
enforced by periodical inspections or what might be called ''field days'* of the
pledges. Twice a year the sherifT held in each hundred a spedally full
hnndred-count» to see that all men who ought to be are in (rank pledge.
This was called view of frank pledge {pisus frami pUgit). The strict theory
of the law seems to have required that all the frank pledges should attend the
view; but, as a matter of fact, it was usual for none but the chief pledges to
attend; often however they had to bring with them a sum of money which
was accepted in lieu of the production of their tithings. The amount
contributed on these occasions by the hundreds of Cambridgeshire and
Huntingdonshire is given in the Memoranda^ pp. 973 — 379. These sums
probably formed a fiind out of which the amercements above mentioned could
be discharged. Over a large part of England the persons subject to the law
of frank pledge were distributed into groups, each consisting of ten persons ;
each group was known as a tithing; each was presided over by one of the
assodated persons who was known as the chief pledge, tithing-man, reeve,
etc. Hist. B, Law^ i. 568 — 571. I have employed the words of the
authors so far as was possible.

It may be added that in some of the south-westem counties the tithing
was not a personal group of ten men, but a territorial subdivision of the vill,
the inhabitants of each territorial tithing forming a separate frank pledge

Glossary to Observances^ where it occurs in the foUowing passage (p. 186):
In omnibus festis principalibus prime dignitatis ceUerarius providebit oonventui
per quatuor dies panem dominicum et cervisiam affordatam. *'The words
[d. panis] evidently mean bread of a superior quality. We find in a similar
sense 'panis curialis,* brcad sent down from the lord's table for the use of fais
rctinue (Ducange, s.v. panis curialis), In some houses, as at Evesham, the
Abbat had bread of a superior quality set before him: 'Cum Abbas in
refectorio comedere voluerit ponantur sex panes coram eo ad prandium
de proprio scilicet pane' (Uber Evesham, H. Bradshaw Soc. 1893, Col. 16

hida: a hide, of land. In the later Angio.Saxon times and in Domesday
the term Hide signified the unit in which men reckoned land, when assessing
it for the land tax. E^h village, according to its size, popnlation and
fertiiity, was reckoned to contaan so many hides, and when the land tax was
coUected at its normal rate, each hide patd is. so that jf 10 was coUected from
every 100 hkles, and each oounty was usually so assessed that the total for all
the vills contained in it worked out to a multiple of iioo hides. The
reckoning in hides then was essentiaUy artificial, and the hide had no fixed
area. Nooe the less in apportioning the hides allotted to a vUlage among the
estates and holdings of which it was made up, the hide, as applied to arable
land, of normal fertUity, tended in practice to mean iio acres. • Another
factor also largely contributed to make the hides dissimilar, namely the
King's habit of arbitrarUy lowering the original assessment of particular
places to do a favour to their owners, by diminishing the burden of the land
tax. The favouritism thus shown to certain villages (usually to those
belonging to ecdesiastics) is termed, Beneficial hidation.

In later times, for example in the reign of Henry III, the hides were
more frequently utUised for assessing local rates and fines, than for the King's
taxes. Here too «re meet with favouritism, for the obligation to contribute to
these rates {e.g, for repair of highways or bridges) or to common fines
was not univcrsaL Some estates were Uabie, others were exempt. This

One of his examples is : * Si prist apres une pougne d*estrain, et bouta le feu

precaria : boonwork, as opposed to weekwork, in the vemacular called Bederepey
Bidden Days, or Bind-days. The agricultural services, due on the Lord's
demesnes from the unfree manorial servants were of two kinds : either regular
work so many days a week all through the year, called weekwork\ or an
occasional day*s work now and again, at the petition of the Lord or his
agent, called bomwork^ the number of days being fixed but not the time
for demanding performance. See Seebohm, Eng. ViUage Community^ p. 78.
Boonwork is frequently mentioned in the Memoranda among the services
rendered by cnstomary tenants {fustumarit). At Chesterton (74) all the
tenants of the Abbat of Vercelli (it is not stated whether they were customary
or not) were bound to find one man each '* for the first day of boonwork in
autumn (ad primam precariam in autumpno)" At Bouro each tenant
(customary) was bound to perform three days in all of boonwork, but the
nnmber of men to be employed varied, as did also their supply of food.
Sometimes the tenant found it, sometimes the Prior (396, 997). At Barton the
customary tenants were bound to two days only of boonwork, with a varying
number of men, but more than at Boura. Three tenants found as many as
six men apiece. On the first day the tenant found the food, on the second
the Lord, Le. the Prior (303, 304). A magna precaria is also mentioned, but
not in the Memoranda. Cowel, s.v., describes it as ** a great or general reap-

villa: a vill. For a history and description of this, see ffisi, E, Law, i. 560—567.
The authors shew that the whole of England (approzimately) ¥ras divided
into vills ; that the vill of the i^th centuiy is the * dvil parish ' of the soth ;
tliat the typical vill was 'the nucleated village «rith open iields.' '*A11 the
honses of the vill are collected into one duster. Aronnd and inside this
duster there may be many little doses, crofts, and paddocks; bnt by (ar
the larger part of the territory of the vill lies uninclosed by any permancnt
fences. The arable lies in two, three, or more great ' fidds,* each of whidi
is cut up into [furlongs (see cultura), and these again into] maltitudinous
strips. These strips are reckoned to be acres, half-acres, and roods....Then
there are permanent pastures which are never indosed or enjoyed in severalty,
but lie open at all seasons. Villages of this kind were numeroas in southem
and eastern England "

villata : the oiganized body of inhalntants who lived in the vil! — a township.
ffist. £, LaWf i. 563. Comp. tnllaia de Cestertone, 78

sum paid in commutation of the same. ffisi, JS, Law, i. 978

ward-penny, warth penes : a local due dating from Saxon days, payable from
certain holdtngs to the sheriff, and probably arising from the oommutation
shortly after the Conquest, if not before, of the duty of finding ^*inwards,"
that is guards for the King^s person and goods when he came into the
county. Compare Domtsday Survey, i. 190 b. West Wratting, Cambs.
