INTRODUCTION
THIS third part of the collection of Lancashire Inquests
contains nearly eighty documents (CLXXI to CCXLIX),
chiefly inquisitions post mortem and ad quod damnum pre-
served in the Public Record Office. In some cases only the
writ has survived, the corresponding return having been
lost. Attention may be called to the inquiry into the con-
nection of Matilda, widow of Sir Robert de Holand, with the
violent abduction of Margery de la Beche from the manor
of Beams, near Reading, on Good Friday, 1347 (CCXXIX),
because, on a distorted version of one of the writs in the matter,
printed in Gregson's Fragments, Roby concocted an offensive
story against the religious orders and the prior of Burscough
in particular, and printed it in his Traditions oj Lancashire.
The contrast between his invention and the true history is
quite ludicrous. It does not appear how the prior was
connected with the matter at all, as a separate inquiry seems
to have been dispensed with in his case, but it is reasonable
to suppose that Sir John de Dalton, or some of his men, on
arriving in Lancashire, took shelter for a time on some of the
priory lands, as they did on Lady Roland's manor of Uphol-
land, and thus gave the prior the appearance of being an
accessory. The groat French family of Coucy had manors
in Lancashire, and, as they adhered to the French king when
Edward III claimed the crown from him in 1337, their English
estates became forfeit ; hence some of the inquiries recorded
in this volume (CCXVII, CCXXIIL CCXXVIII).
The most important documents in the present volume,
occupying half its pages, are the Extent of 1346 and the
Minister's Account of 1348, which record the tenants and
holdings of a large part of the county, being especially full
as regards the demesne lands of the cavldom. and the ser-
vi INTRODUCTION
vices there required from the tenants. The hundreds of
Leyland and Blackburn are almost unnoticed.
The former document (CCXXII) is translated in the main
from a copy in one of Christopher Towneley's volumes, now
Add. MS. 32103 in the British Museum. It is evident that
when that copy was made, perhaps early in the seventeenth
century, the original was in very bad condition in places, for
several blanks have been left unfilled, which in some cases
another hand has endeavoured to supply, and in various
passages what has been written down is unintelligible. It
begins with an error in the heading, for it should have read
" Extent of the Lands and Tenements of the Earl of Lancas-
ter," there being no " Duke " in 1346. Fortunately a large
part has been preserved in one of Dodsworth's MSS.
(LXXXVII), being copied from an extent made on Monday
next before the feast of St. Andrew the Apostle, 9 Henry VI
(1430). To a small degree this extent records the contem-
porary holders of lands, but the form is that of the extent of
1346, and the bulk of the names of tenants are those which
appear in the earlier return. The extent of 1430 omits many
interesting details of the earlier return, such, e.g., as the names
of the burgesses of Liverpool. No doubt in the time of
Henry VI the burgesses of 1346 had long been dead and their
tenements had been united or subdivided in many ways, so that
the transcriber was justified in omitting them as of no value
for his purpose, but from the purely historical point of view
the omission is regrettable now that the original is lost. One
portion of the record was again copied in the sixteenth cen-
tury, and the MS., now in the editor's possession, was printed
in one of the Chetham Society's Miscellanies (old series, vol.
74). For a large part, however, Add. MS. 32103 is the only
evidence, while the Dodsworth MS., where it is available,
gives the better text, though not in the same order. In
these circumstances it has seemed the most useful course to
give in the present translation a reconstruction of the original
when the available copy or copies appeared erroneous and
when from other sources the true reading was ascertainable ;
but the notes will show what has been done in particular
cases.
INTRODUCTION vii
This Extent should be studied in conjunction with the
Account of 1348 (CCXXXII), and also with the various
surveys printed in part II of these Inquests (CXIII, CXIV,
CXXII, CXLIII). A " new rental " is referred to in the
Account, but the figures given from it do not always agree
with those of the Extent (cf. p. 194 with pp. 75, 76). The
accounts of the lands of Henry de Lacy and of the manor of
Manchester in part II (XCII, CXII) will supply information
for much of the district not covered by the Extent of 1346.
The plan followed by the original compiler of the Extent was
in each wapentake noticed to describe the borough first ;
then the tenants and customs of the earl's demesne manors,
though in Amounderness these are placed last ; and then the
various rents and services of the free tenants. He began
with Liverpool in West Derby Hundred, and proceeded north.
The compiler of the Minister's Account, on the other hand,
began with the county town, Lancaster, and came south,
but this document, as it stands, does not seem so orderly as
the former.
In Liverpool it will be noticed that Roger de la More, then
head of the More family, held the largest number of bur-
gages — 8 ; his cousin, John, held *%. Adam de Liver-
pool held about the same number, 5 j. There were 21 persons
each holding a single undivided burgage plot, making exactly
an eighth part of the number of burgages. The tenants of West
Derby had a special duty of carrying millstones to the mills ;
those of Crosby had to take brushwood for fuel to Liverpoc 1
Castle whenever the lord might be resident there. In Amoun-
derness there was a special duty of carrying victuals when the
lord went from Ribble Bridge to Lancaster Castle and back.
The " avowry " of a woman living unmarried is also men-
tioned. In Lonsdale there were customs concerning the
carrying of victuals and the maintenance of Lancaster Castle
and its housekeeping ; also the commuted rents, once paid in
kind, called Cowmale and Bsltoncow. In Overton " the
whole community " made up a deficiency in the rent of the
demesne lands.
I am greatly indebted to my secretary, Mr. Thomas Price,
for making the abstracts, which arc here printed, from
viii INTRODUCTION
the original inquests and extents preserved in the Public
Record Office ; and to Mr. John Brownbill, M.A., for collating
the extent of 1346 with Christopher Towneley's and Roger
Dodsworth's MSS., and for compiling the indexes.

Returns 17/1.]
WRIT tested at Heghtenhill [Ightenhill], Qth Oct., iyth year (1323),
to William de Tatham, steward (senescallus) of Blakeburneschire.
I [William de Tatham] demand from the abbot of Whalley
on account of his grange of Merlond and the lands and tene-
ments belonging to the said grange, puture there, for this
reason : Because one Gilbert de Clifton, some time steward
of Henry de Lascy, late earl of Lincoln, of Blakeburneshire
and Rachedale, while those lands and tenements were in
the said earl's hands, at all his comings into the parts of
Rachedale, to hold courts for his said lord, used to have
puture there ; likewise Henry de Kyghelay, Simon de
Baldreston, Edmund Talbot and Robert de Shireburn, suc-
cessively stewards of the said earl in those parts, had such
puture there ; and the said Robert and John de Midhop,
afterwards stewards there, of Thomas, late earl of Lancaster,
after those lands and tenements came to the said Thomas's
hands, had such puture, also John Trauers, my predecessor,
late keeper of those lands, after they came to the king's
hands by the said Thomas's forfeiture, had such puture, but
whether they had it of right or not, I do not yet know ; for
which puture I have not yet distrained, but intend to distrain
unless otherwise ordered by the king or his council.
WRIT tested at Nottingham, 7 Dec., i8th year (1324), to John de
Lancastre and Gilbert de Syngelton to inquire whether the seneschal

to hold courts there had puture from the abbot of Whalley and his
predecessors by reason of their grange of Merlonde and the lands and
tenements belonging to it except at the request of the abbot and his
predecessors out of courtesy, or otherwise, and if so how, wherefore,
and since when. (Brit. Mus., Add. MS. 10374, f. 141).

his predecessors and out of courtesy. (Ibid., f. 14^ b.).1

Thomas de Slene, Robert de Skerton, Benedict de Stub,
Benedict de Gressingham, Adam son of Simon de Lancastre,
John le Keu, Thomas de Gressingham and William de Burgh,
who say that it is not to his own loss nor to the diminution
of the farm of the county, but to the great alleviation and
safeguard of the people if the king grants to the abbot of
Furness that he and his successors shall have their own
coroner in their lands and fees of Furneys, view of frank-
pledge [&c. as in the writ down to the words " or their
bailiffs "] ; no profit from the office of coroner exists, the
office being more onerous than profitable ; the profits of
matters touching view are worth yearly 6s. 8d. ; no profit
can accrue to the abbot or his successors by the return of
writs because it will behove them to find bailiffs at their
own cost to execute the king's mandates to them directed by
the sheriff.1

been exposed to peril, upon whose bodies and upon the bodies of others
slain in the parts of Furness, and of those dead by other causes the office

RECORD SOCIETY OF LANCASHIRE
AND CHESHIRE
REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1913-14 (36111 YEAR)
Read at the Annual Meeting held in the Audit Room of the CheUuim
Hospital, Manchester, on the 27 th day of Octoher 1914.
DURING the year ending joth June 1914 two volumes have been
issued to the Members. Volume 67, the Moore MSS. referred to
in last year's Report, contains the Calendar of the Moore docu-
ments in the Liverpool Public Library made by Mr. John Brownbill,
M.A., who was also responsible for the elaborate index ; and a
Calendar, made by Miss Kathleen Walker, of a further portion of
the same collection in the possession of the University of Liverpool
School of Local History and Records. This volume was seen
through the press by the Honorary Secretary. The sum of ^,'25
promised towards the cost of printing by the Library Committee of
the Liverpool Corporation has been duly received. Twenty copies
were reserved for the School of Local History, which issued a
circular to its members inviting subscribers. Nineteen copies were
subscribed for at 128. 6d. each, and the proceeds, ^12, 35. iod.,
were paid to the Society. The cost of an expensive volume was
thus materially reduced.
Volume 68 is the Ledger Book of Vale Royal Abbey, edited by
Mr. Brownbill. The Society is much indebted for the time and
trouble given by him to this volume, which proved to be one of the
most interesting of the Society's series.
The two volumes for next year will be Part VI. of the Marriage-
Licences for Cheshire and South Lancashire, edited by Mr. Irvine,
and Part III. of the Lancashire Inquests and Extents from 1333
onwards, edited by Dr. Farrer, who has again been good enough to
provide the material.
A little progress has been made with the transcript of the Star
Chamber Cases for Lancashire and Cheshire.
Arrangements are being made for a continuation of the Cheshire
Marriage Licences. It was decided last year by the Council to
arrange for a transcript to be made of the important series of Mar-
riage Licences at Lancaster, and Mr. Brownbill has been asked to
undertake the work, which he hopes to commence in the winter.
The Welsh Record Office Bill, mentioned in last year's Report,
has been re-introduced, and the Cheshire County Council is again
taking action in order to safeguard the records of the County
Palatine.
IV
