RECORDS OF THE SOCIAL AND

ECONOMIC HISTORY OF ENGLAND

AND WALES

ENGLAND possesses the most remarkable set of records
of economic and social history in the world. Beginning
with the Domesday Survey, that unique description of
eleventh-century society, we get a continuous series of
cartularies, extents, ministers' accounts, terriers, revenue-
rolls, agricultural, industrial, and commercial documents
of all kinds, ranging to the present time. Unfortunately
only a comparatively small portion of them has been pub-
lished or even described. The importance of such publi-
cations as those of the Abingdon, Gloucester, Ramsey
Cartularies in the Rolls Series, the Domesday of St. Paul's,
the Black Book of Peterborough, the Cartulary of Battle
Abbey in the Camden Series, brings forcibly home the
necessity of rendering accessible to the public a vast store
of similar documents. There is at present no Society able
to proceed with such work in a systematic manner worthy
of its national and scientific importance. The publications
of the Rolls Series have been discontinued ; the Royal
Historical Society, which has taken over the Camden
Series, has to divide its energies among many subjects ;
local societies bring from time to time welcome contri-
butions, but these are scattered and difficult of access, and
appear more or less accidentally without any systematic
co-ordination, There is surely a field here for a great

national undertaking, which at the same time would be
highly appreciated by scholars abroad, and the British
Academy has decided to make an attempt to call forth
and organize efforts in this direction. With this view
a Committee has been formed consisting of Sir Frederick
Kenyon (President of the Academy), Professor Sir Paul
Vinogradoff as Director of publications, Viscount Bryce,
Professor C. H. Firth, Professor Sir Israel Gollancz (Secre-
tary of the Academy), Dr. R. L. Poole, Dr. G. W. Prothero,
Professor T. F. Tout, and Sir George Warner. A grant in
aid had been voted by Parliament on the proposal of the
Lords Commissioners of His Majesty's Treasury towards
the expenses of the publication of the Series.

INTERCOMMONING VILLS IN THE FEN COUNTRY
THE VILL OF FLEET

INTRODUCTION

CHAPTER I

INTERCOMMONING IN FENLAND NORTH OF
THE WELLAND

IN parts of mediaeval England physical and topographical
features necessarily caused variations, greater or less, from
the usual manorial forms of agrarian life, and the manor had
to adapt itself to local characteristics. This study, introductory
to the terrier of Fleet, deals with such variations as they are
found in general in the fen country near the Wash, a district
in which from early times constant fear of inundation led to
the imposition of heavy public burdens for the defence of the
land, and the vast stretches of fen and marsh gave opportunities
for peculiar industries and a special prominence to pasture
rights. For more particular information regarding the conditions
within a typical fen village it turns to the full description of
Fleet in Lincolnshire which is contained in the terrier of that vill.

The fens have always excited the interest of antiquaries,
and their general extent and characteristics are familiar. It
may be said, briefly, that Fenland, as understood here, included
the district extending along the coast from Wainfleet, south-
ward to Fosdyke, thence eastward to Sutton in Lincolnshire,
and thence across northern Cambridgeshire to King's Lynn
in Norfolk. The inland line ran westward and southward
from Wainfleet to Deeping, including a district ten to twelve
miles wide, thence far southward and eastward, below Ramsey
and the Isle of Ely, thirty miles from the sea, to emerge at
the coast again at King's Lynn. Dugdale describes the extent
of the district as follows : ' First, let us consider the large
proportion of this one level, which is no less than five hundred
thousand acres, it being, from the edge of Suffolk to Wayn-
flete in Lincolnshire, full sixty-eight miles in a straight line.
And if we reckon by the bow of the Fen, which runneth up

vi INTRODUCTION

on both sides of the river Witham, within a mile of Lincoln,
it may be well accounted eighty miles ; the breadth being in
many places thirty, more twenty, and seldom so little as ten
miles ; so that, it is thought by some, to be as good ground,
and as much, as the States of the Low Countries enjoy in the
Netherlands.' 1

Although obliterated by the drainage of the sixteenth, seven-
teenth, and later centuries, so that terrors such as were seen
by St. Guthlac 2 or the beauties described by the chronicler
of Thorney 3 are now quite gone except in very small stretches
like Wicken fen, the earlier characteristics of the fens are yet not
difficult to decipher. Along the coast the sea was constantly
building up a salt marsh. The receding water has left the
coast villages far inland, beyond a border of salt marsh, so that
the ' harbours ' of the Fleet and Bicker, for example, are now
six miles or more from the sea, and the old wall which once ran
near the sea in a single or double line, and was maintained
by the villages protected by it, is now several miles inland.
Even in early times, however, there was a narrow belt of salt
marsh along the coast, and in it an important salt industry
was carried on perhaps as far back as the days of the Roman
occupation.

Inside the line of salt marsh, and lying parallel with the
coast from Wainfleet to Fosdyke and thence to Sutton, was
a long narrow strip of habitable land formed by the silting up
of the rivers and the sea, and thus raised above the level of
the waters. The alluvial soil, greatest in depth at a point
a little distant from the marsh, decreased gradually on the
inland side, and ceased entirely at the point where the highest
tides became refluent, giving way to the fen. Along this
strip of land, which was pierced at intervals by sluggish rivers
and was subject in part to inundation in times of flood, were
situated from very early times villages of the nucleated type, with
long narrow fields extending across from the salt marsh to the
fen. The fields being in danger of ' drowning ', as the chroniclers

put it, were crossed by frequent dikes, and were protected from
the sea by great sea-walls, and from the waters of the fen by
inland catch-water drains, like Cardike. Beyond Sutton and
Tydd, in the basins of the Nene and the Ouse, the habitable
land was further from the sea and less regular in formation,
lying in islands and peninsulas, sometimes too small for much
cultivation, sometimes, as in the case of the Isle of Ely, large
enough to support a number of villages. Inland from the
habitable strip, and surrounding the islands, lay the ' vast and
deep fens ', formed by the backing up of the tides with the
' sweet waters ' of the fen rivers, the Ouse, Nene, Welland,
Glen, and Witham, the slope of the land not being sufficient
to carry the outfall to the sea. The fens so formed were of
varying usefulness. Some were quite ' drowned ' and formed
great lakes, like Whittlesea mere, others were flooded in the
winter, but available for pasture in the summer, and others
were fairly dry in ordinary seasons ; some were good for turves,
others for tall grasses and ' lesch ' ; almost all furnished excel-
lent fishing and fowling. 1 Attempts to drain the fens in the
Middle Ages were of varying seriousness and met with varying
success. The indications are that at times, especially in the reign
of Henry II and again in the reign of Henry III, the course of
the waters was fairly well controlled, and the worst state of
flood immediately preceded the drainage schemes of the six-
teenth century. The prosperity of the fen villages jvaried with
the extent of safe stretches of pasture.

Another line of villages lay on the inland edge of the fens.
Sometimes, just as the rivers pierced the arable, so belts of
higher land extended across the fen whereby these inland villages
were joined with those on the coast strip, and parts of the
fen were almost encircled by higher ground. To special
stretches of fen, whether surrounded by villages or bordered
by them on two sides, were given special names, the most
important being East fen, West fen, and Wildmore, north and
east of the Witham ; Holland fen, Eight Hundred or Haut-
hundre fen between the Witham and the Glen ; Brunne fen
and Deeping fen along the Welland, and the great Marshland
in Norfolk. In the south near Crowland, Ramsey, and Ely

viii INTRODUCTION

were innumerable other fens, large and small, which were more
broken and irregular in shape than those lying to the north-
ward between the long habitable strip of land and the inland
villages.

The subject of greatest interest in the study of a district
like the fens is the method of management of the great waste
by the villages or groups of villages adjacent to it, and the
relative parts played by lords of manors and inhabitants of
villages in such management. Most of the documentary material
comes from a comparatively late period when control of the
waste had, as a rule, passed beyond question to the lord of the
manor, but there are some indications of earlier, different
arrangements, and the villata still has a role, more or less
important, to play. A study of the fens individually, as far
as they can be distinguished from one another in the region
north of the Welland and in the region south and east of it,
will show most conveniently the chief features of the manage-
ment of fen land. 1

The northern part of Fenland belonged to the soke of Boling-
broke. This soke, included in the wapentake of the same name,
is described in Domesday Book 2 as held by Ivo Taillebois,
and contained the vills of Hareby, Miningsby, Asgarby, En-
derby, Raithby, Hundleby, Holton, Steeping, Thorpe, the Toyn-
tons, Stickney, Sibsey, Stickford, East Keale, West Keale,
Hagnaby, Kirkby, Revesby, and the manor of Bolingbroke.
The whole district extended some six leagues in length and
six in width. The soke passed to the Roumare family through
Lucy, 3 whose son William de Roumare was created Earl of
Lincoln by Stephen, and in 1217 passed after forfeiture to
Ranulph de Blundevill, Earl of Chester, and to his sister
Hawisia, whose daughter Margaret married John de Lacy.
It passed thence to the de Lacy family, thence to Thomas
of Lancaster, and at last to Henry IV as part of the Duchy of
Lancaster. It included East fen and West fen and in later
documents a district called North fen, and it had also rights
of common with other lordships in Wildmore fen. East fen

INTERCOMMONING IN FENLAND ix

and West fen were important sources of revenue to the lord-
ship, and much is said of them therefore in the documents
relating to the soke. Account rolls beginning in the later
years of Edward I's reign show the profits and expenditures
of fen officers, 1 and there are also in the Public Record Office
a few court rolls of a date not earlier than the beginning of
Henry VI's reign. 2 That earlier court rolls existed is probable,
since the account rolls of Edward I's reign mention courts of
the fen (curie marisci). 3

The general divisions and headings used in the earliest
account rolls continue throughout the series and probably
indicate very ancient arrangements for the administration of
the soke. The manors are accounted for severally by name
in the statements of receipts and expenditures, and in the
midst of them comes the heading ' Mariscus ', with its own
account presented by its own officers, and composed of items
relating to East fen and West fen. The series in the Public
Record Office, beginning with a roll of 23-4 Edward I, continuing
with one for 32-3 Edward I, and with many rolls for
Edward Ill's and Edward IV's reign, and later times, shows
always ' the Mariscus ' as a separate heading on a par with
the manors of the soke. There is also an interesting roll of
' extracts ' from accounts of the fen beginning with the year
1331. 4 Much additional information regarding the manage-
ment of fenland adjacent to the vills is found in the descrip-
tions contained in the rolls of such manors as Sibsey, Stick-
ford, and Wrangle. The officers of the fens in the earlier rolls
are a seneschal, bailiff, and two servientes ; in the later rolls
of Edward Ill's reign there is mentioned a custos marisci,
usually one for East fen and another for West fen, still later
an approver, and an approver and firmarius.

The profits of the Bolingbroke fens may be grouped under
the following headings : pasture, sale of moorland, turbary,

x INTRODUCTION

fishing and fowling, rents for special places, perquisites of
courts, and a few miscellaneous rents.

The basis of the right of pasture in the fen for a village or
individual tenant was not in all cases the same ; different
kinds of pasture rights may be distinguished. One arrange-
ment, probably of great antiquity, is indicated by the ' fen-
^pfare ' or * fennefayre ' payment. This rent generally amounted
to about 12 a year ; it was paid by diverse villate 4 pro com-
muni habendo ex antiquo ', at the rate of 2d. a house, from
every house burning fuel. 1 The vills paying it bordered on
West fen, on the south side, and were Toft, Freiston, Butter-
wick, Benington, Leverton, and part of Leake, for not all of
Leake had common in West fen. Fenfare is mentioned in
the account rolls of West fen only. It was, then, an ancient
payment made by certain vills bordering on West fen, none
of them it will be noticed in the soke of Bolingbroke, for
common of pasture in West fen. That Boston and Skirbeck
once paid it also is probable since it is stated in the rolls of
Edward Ill's reign that these vills are released from fenfare
because their tenants repair the drain of Neugote. 2 No restric-
tions on the common gained in return for the fenfare are men-
tioned ; it was probably therefore for all commonable animals
at all seasons of the year. There was a second kind of pasture
right in East fen and West fen : the vills of the soke of Boling-
broke had also common of pasture, unrestricted as to season
or number of cattle, and differing from the pasture of the
fenfare vills only in being subject to no rent or payment.
A very late document 3 gives a list of the following vills as
commoners in the fen, showing also the brands of their respective
cattle, and the amount of ' the bank ' and ' Hildike ' which

each was held to repair. For West fen : Leake, Leverton,
Benington, Freiston, Butterwick, Fishtoft, Skirbeck, part of
Boston, Hagnaby, JKirkby, Hareby, Miningsby, Stickford,
Stickney, Sibsey j^oor East fen, called Erlesfen : Bolingbroke,
Thorpe, Steeping Parva, Holton, Spilsby, Asgarby, East
and West Keale, Toynton, Lusby, Stickford, Stickney, Sibsey,
Kirby, Hagnaby cum Revesby, Hareby, Miningsby, Raithby,
Hundleby. It states also, ' Soca de Bolingbroke habent [sic]
communiam in le Eastfen, Westfen, et Northfen.' The lists
of vills are suggestive. It will be noticed that the vills pastur-
ing in West fen are either members of the soke of Bolingbroke
(the last seven named) or else are exactly those vills that
pay fenfare. The list for East fen as given above is made up
of vills belonging to the soke in Domesday Book with the
exception of Spilsby and Lusby. Still a third kind of pasture
right of vills appears in the account rolls, a right to pasture
paid for by ' fines ' from other bordering villages not included
in the soke or among the fenfare vills. These fines for pasture
were large enough to form an important source of revenue for
the seneschal of ' the Mariscus ', especially in his receipts from
the East fen, where a much larger number of cattle was so
agisted than in the West fen. In the East fen the vills paying
such fines were almost invariably Leake, Wrangle, Wainfleet,
Friskney, Frisby, Hareby, Huttoft, Bratoft, Orby, Great
Steeping, and in later rolls usually Croft, Ingoldmells, Win-
thorpe, and Trusthorpe also. Some of these vills, it will be
noticed, had original pasture rights in West fen as well as
those acquired by fine in East fen. In West fen the vills paying
fines were Wood Enderby and Mareham, and sometimes Tunby,
Haltham, and Wrangle, half of Leake, and Wilkesby : in the
main vills having common also in Wildmore. In all cases of
vills paying fines the number of cattle agisted and the time of
agistment is stated and the rate per head 4d. for a full season
from May to Martinhias, and 2d. for a half season, from the
Nativity of the Virgin to Martinmas. The amounts so received
were sometimes large, especially as shown in the later rolls ;
for example, in 1354, 18 15s. 8d. from 1,115 cattle in East
fen, of which 559 came from Leake, 275 from Wrangle, 80
from Friskney, 66 from Bratoft and other vills, and 47 from

xii INTRODUCTION

Wainfleet, each animal pastured being paid for at the rate of
4d. for all the year. In conclusion, then, it is clear that in East
fen there were pastured the cattle of the vills of the soke of
Bolingbroke for which no payment was made and no limit of
time or number set, and the cattle of certain other adjacent
vills with other pasture rights elsewhere for which fines were
paid in accordance with the number of cattle agisted, and
the length of the season of agistment. In West fen there were
pastured the cattle of certain fine-paying vills, the cattle of
six vills belonging to the soke, and in addition, and belonging
to a third class of pasture rights not found in East fen, the
cattle of ancient vills of Skirbeck wapentake paying fenfare.
A late document of Edward Ill's reign * suggests that common
of pasture in East fen and West fen may have been shared
originally by the vills of the soke and the vills of the wapen-
take of Skirbeck. The vills paying fixed fines for pasture are
often called in the rolls the * forinsec vills ' 2 in distinction
from the ' intrinsec vills ' of the soke with immemorial and
unlimited pasture rights. In some instances also individuals
within fine-paying vills made special fines for agisting a specific
number of head of cattle. In this connexion it should be noticed
that even in the intercommoning vills of the soke not all the
tenants were * commoners ', an important point which becomes
clearer in the documents of other fens. In 1304, for example,
twenty-eight cottars of those ' novo levatorum ' on the moor
in Stickford, Stickney, and Cotes had to pay for the agistment
of twenty-eight animals.

The exclusion from the fen of the cattle of non-commoners,
whether of vills or of individuals within vills was enforced by
means of great drives or * drifts, fugaciones, of which the

INTERCOMMONING IN FENLAND xiii

rolls have much to say. In East fen the cattle at pasture were
driven once a year or at shorter intervals to Segdike, Segdike
Grange, Stickney Grange, or Smalney all in the heart of the
fen. The animals so driven were impounded, and those
unlawfully agisting in the fen were released only on payment
of amercements by the owners, while cattle of commoners,
when impounded, were released without fine. The number
of men required to make the drive was large ; for example,
a bailiff, and twenty-two men with twelve horses, and eight men
with boats were required for three days and three nights to
drive the animals of ' la Est fen ' to the grange of Segdike
and to impound them ; again, a bailiff and ten men with eleven
horses for two days and nights to drive the animals of East
fen and North fen to Stickney grange ; and again, a bailiff with
sixteen men with sixteen horses, and four men with four boats. 1
The drive sometimes took place near the feast of the Nativity
of St. John the Baptist. The search or ' circhia ' of sheep in
East fen is sometimes mentioned, and seems to have been
of the same nature, but the fine for agisting sheep was only
4<d. for twenty. In the West fen the drive was usually made
to ' le frith ' 2 near Boston, where the cattle were impounded.
Usually a payment in addition to the amercement seems to
have been enforced if the animals were left in the pound by
the owners for more than a day and a night. The drives were
obviously very profitable, and were sometimes made unlaw-
fully and by others than the officers of the fen. Thus the
tenants of the villata of Leake, of which one-half had no rights
of common in the West fen, agisted their animals there, and
also had a drive (fugaverunt) without permission of the king,
for which they were amerced to the amount of one hundred
shillings.

The largest and most profitable industry of the fens was
cutting and selling turves. Either the peat was sold when dug,
after it had been dried and stacked, or else great stretches
of moor itself were sold or leased. The industry was carried
on under the supervision of the lord's bailiff or approver, who

le Frygth.'

xiv INTRODUCTION

measured and leased the stretches usually in quarentene of
forty perches each, the perch containing twenty feet, or else
sold the turves in quarentene as they lay cut on the moor before
stacking. The receipts were very large, especially from the
West fen. In 1296 * 78 was received from 260 quarentene
of turves sold, de remanente, at 6s. a quarentena, and 150 12s.
from 602 quarentene of turves de exitu, at 55. a quarentena,
the expense of digging and drying being about a shilling a
quarentena. In the East fen, in the same year, only 8 55.
was received from turves sold de remanente, and 13 from turves
de exitu, the expense being 52s. in all. Thus a clear profit was
made of 4s. a quarentena, less a few small sums for wages of
those guarding and stacking the turves at ' le holmes ', where
the stacks were kept. In 1304 2 in the West fen, besides 57 18s.
derived from 193 quarentene of turves sold at 6s. a quarentena,
there were other receipts of 9 18s. from eleven beschie at
farm and 64 3s. 9d. from 256f quarentene of moor sold. Even
in the year of the Black Death 352 quarentene of cut turves
were sold in the West fen for 200 2s., but on account of the
pestilence no quarentene of uncut moor were sold. Later, in
.Edward Ill's reign the fens were constantly flooded and the
receipts from turbary disappear from the account rolls, except
for the sale in most years of a few beschie a beschia being the
amount of land that could be dug annually by one spade between
the feasts of St. Philip and St. James and St. Peter ad Vincula
(May 1 and August 1). The beschie were probably the ancient
customary measures of the peat moor, as opposed to the quaren-
tene measured by the perch used by the lord of the soke in
exploiting his fenland. 3 The ancient commoners in the fen
usually measured their own turbary in beschie.

In addition to the large industry carried on by the lord of
the soke there were rights of turbary exercised by the vills
of the soke, ancient rights existing side by side with the right
of common of pasture, and, like the latter, not described in detail
in the bailiffs' rolls but taken for granted, since no profit or

expense to the lord arose from them. There are, however,
a few indications of the conditions under which, in the time
of the making of the rolls, such rights were exercised. The
limitation of the common to commoners with houses in the
soke is of interest. 1 As in the cases of ancient payments like
fenfare and hearth penny, so here the household seems to
have been taken as the unit. Then again commoners could
not sell their turves outside the soke. 2 Evidently the lord
desired to protect his own profits and to restrict the com-
moners to the taking of turves for their own personal uses.
Fines were frequently imposed upon non-commoners for
digging turves without permission, and, on the other hand,
were remitted to men who could prove that they were com-
munarii and were digging their own estovers. In 1304 the
lord of West fen bought ten quarentene of turves from the
commoners. 3 Turves were used also for fuel in the salt-pans
(saline) along the sea marshes, certain beschie in the fen being
especially reserved for this purpose. 4 The salt-pans in Wain-
fleet, Wrangle, and Friskney were of special importance, turves
being constantly carried thither and the lord receiving one
bolyoun of salt from every salina. 5 It seems probable that
commoners had pans of their own with the appurtenant tofts,
in which they boiled salt for their own uses. 6

The courts held in the fen are of some interest and impor-
tance. The court rolls preserved in the Record Office for the
manors of the soke of Bolingbroke do not themselves ante-
date the reign of Henry IV, but courts must have been held
at an earlier time, since one large item among the receipts of
even the earliest account rolls is ' perquisites of courts ' of
the fens, and one item among the expenses the parchment
purchased for the court roll. Moreover, the references to the

xvi INTRODUCTION

courts in the account rolls seem to indicate no very great
change in procedure from earlier times. In the ancient roll
of 1296 x it is stated that the court in marisco brought 7 17s. 8d.
in perquisites besides the amercements of certain men in Stickney
and Friskney and two large fines from individuals of 6 13s. 5d.
each for transgressions in marisco. In 1304 2 the perquisites of
the court were 6 11s. 2d., a part of which (6s. 8d.) was spent on
the wages of a man making attachments and distraints in the
fen. The later account rolls mention 11 10s. from perquisites
and pleas of the court held at Cowbrigge, parchment for the
court of Barra held at Stickney, and fines from carters carrying
turves and saddes, and fines for fishing and fowling in fens
extra communem. Cowbrigge was at the end of Frith bank
below Sibsey and served as a meeting-place for West fen, while
Stickney was near the East fen.

The court rolls, though late, give more information. The
court was not connected with any manor ; it was called the
curia de Barra; it was held in various vills, Stickney, Stick-
ford, Holton, or at Cowbrigge, Barbridge, or Stickford Cross.
It was not the same as the manor courts of the vills where it
was held, although such manor courts, the rolls of which are
given separately, may have been held at the same time. The
J)arra or bar was probably a dividing line of some sort used
to prevent the passage of cattle from fen to fen. The business
of the court was the maintenance of the consuetudo marisci,
the forma et custuma marisci, as it is called later, and the
collection of fines and amercements for breaches of that custom,
There are many cases of the agisting of animals on the common
by those not communarii for which heavy fines were paid ;
there are cases of the holding of unjust drives, fugaciones,
and thie making of unlawful pounds. 3 Another important clas f
of cases had to do with the wrongful cutting of turves by non
commoners, or by men who had received no permission,
the lord of the soke receiving regularly ' forfeitures of the
turves ', as the fines for such offences were called. Sometimes
turves and saddes were taken away wrongfully. In other
cases the common was occupied wrongfully by stacks of thak

or rushes, and fodyr was carted away eoctra communem by some
one not a communaritis. 1 Commoners of the fen sometimes
poached for fish or fowl outside their common, non-com-
moners made use of the common fisheries, and very often
weirs were made of ' bobbys ' of small weave instead of con-
sisting of stakes and flekes of nets. A late document states
that a ' were ' must be ' so large that a penny or two pens
may fall thorowe '. 2 Lastly, a large and important class of
cases related to the failure of the vills to maintain properly
their dikes and lades. A duty of this kind was of public impor-
tance and was therefore more subject to regulation from above
than any that affected only the commoners or lords of indi-
vidual vills. From early times some enforcement of the duties
of vills for the common good must have been necessary, and
later legislation probably followed usually along lines already
well established. The commissions to justices for the main-
tenance of sewers, which begin in the time of Edward I, give
less information about the soke of Bolingbroke than other
parts of fenland, and their silence throws us back on the court
rolls, late as they are, for most of our knowledge of the method
of keeping the waters of the northern fens under control. In
the court roll of 1422 3 a fine of 80s. is recorded, and it is
required that the villata of Wainfleet repair le dame so that
the waters of East fen can get to the sea, and the meadows in
Little Steeping be not flooded. It is stated also that the villata
of Leake is to repair Hildike. In the account rolls a long list
of amercements of villate is given for failure in opening the
common course of water in Newgate with the sewers under
Hildike, the fines of the villate of Skirbeck, Freiston, Butter-
wick, Benington, Leverton, and Leake being 3s. 4cd. each, and
other fines being levied on individuals, among them the Abbot
of Waltham. It will be remembered that Boston and Skirbeck
paid no fenfare, because they maintained Newgate. A docu-
ment of Edward Ill's reign states that every man within the
wapentake of Skirbeck ' that keepeth fire in his house ' must
pay 2d. at Martinmas, in consideration of which John, Duke of

Lancaster and Earl of Lincoln, shall cleanse the sewer and
keep Hilldike in repair. 1 In the East fen Ss. 4-d. was usually
levied from Hareby, Kirkby, Wainfleet, Thorpe, Holton, and
Toynton for the repair of common sewers. In the many cases
of failure to pay or to maintain the sewers a distress was taken
on the cattle of the dilatory vill, special officers of the court
being mentioned whose duty was ' to make attachments and
distraints'.

The fenland lying between East and West fens and the river
Witham was called Wildmore. 2 In it three sokes intercommoned
Bolingbroke, Horncastle, and Scrivelsby. The vills com-
prising the soke of Bolingbroke as stated in Domesday Book
have been given ; the vills of the royal soke of Horncastle, 3
formerly Queen Edith's, were Thimbleby, Toynton, Langton,
Folesby (Fulletby), Coningsby, Haltham, Roughton, part of
Scrivelsby, Moorby, Mareham, Enderby, Wilksby, and Ashby.
Scrivelsby is not called a soke in Domesday Book, but is men-
tioned as such in the Hundred Rolls. 4 On the boundaries of
the fen early in the reign of Stephen (1139), we are told, the abbey
of Kirkstead was founded by the lord of Tattershall, Hugo Brito,
son of Eudo, and four years later the abbey of Revesby by
William de Roumare, Earl of Lincoln, who also granted to
Kirkstead common of pasture on Wildmore. 5 In the lifetime
of William de Roumare, contention arose among the lordships
regarding their rights of common in Wildmore, ' because no one
of them knew what or how much pertained to his barony. A
division was made between the barony of Bolingbroke and the
barony of Horncastle and of Scrivelsby in the said fen, so that
the men of Bolingbroke might common peaceably in their part,
and likewise the men of Horncastle and Scrivelsby peaceably

in their part.' l The method of division was as follows :
eight men were chosen from the sokes, one of whom was
Godricus de Coningsby ' who was the reeve of Wildmore for
forty years '. These eight men 4 tactis sacrosanctis, fecerunt
purialeam in hunc modum incipientes apud Fildwerdemer
distant aliquantulum de Merkne et ibidem scutum rubeum
elevantes processerunt directe usque extra Newham dimittentes
earn manu sinistra et inde usque Helmerpil et Algermer et
sic directe usque ad Mapull buske subtus Schirwode et quicquid
erat in orientale parte pertinebat ad socam de Bullingbroke et
quicquid in occidentale parte ad socam de Hornecastell et
Scrivelby. Omnia ista renouata erant tempore Ranulphi
Comitis Cestrie.' 2 In the reign of Henry II, as the story con-
tinues, the baronies of Scrivelsby and Horncastle came into
the hands of the crown, and the king thereupon gave to Kirk-
stead a hermitage in Wildmore with common of pasture. He
bestowed the barony of Horncastle upon Garbald Scald, a
Fleming, and the barony of Scrivelsby upon Robert Marmion,
both of whom by charters conveyed rights of common to
Kirkstead, reserving pasture in the fen for themselves and
their men. On the death of Garbald Scald, Gerard de Rodes,
and later his son Richard, became lords of Horncastle, while
Scrivelsby fell to Robert, son of the earlier Robert de Marmion.
Both of these lords, according to the complaints of the abbot
of Kirkstead, ' attracted ' foreign cattle (attraxerunt aliena
averia) into the common, contrary to the terms of the charters
of their predecessors, and writs of warantia carte were therefore
brought against them by the abbot. The pleas were settled
by fines, the lords agreeing that henceforth they would common
with their own cattle and the cattle of the men of their soke
only, and cut their own turves only, and they quitclaimed
all other rights of common to Kirkstead. 3 Even after this
great settlement there was constant quarrelling about pasture

and turbary, and thereafter also frequent amercements of the
abbot are recorded for failure to maintain the great bank along
the river Witham, a duty which seems to have fallen to him
together with, and in part as resultant from, his rights of
common. A court roll of Henry V's reign 1 states that the abbot
should maintain Witham bank from Swythythyrne to Merkne,
and that his failure in this duty, and also in maintaining le frith.,
should be presented at the lowday and leet. Another roll 2
ascribes to him the duty of repairing the bounds between Wild-
more and West fen, an obligation which he did not accept without
question, for elsewhere 3 it is stated that after a dispute it was
decreed by the chamber and council of the Duchy that the
king should set bounds at his own cost from Maplebush in
Shirwoodehirne to Caxton house, thence by the dike of Moor-
house, and should repair them with stones and long stakes.
The abbot seems to. have maintained his right successfully
throughout. In the reign of Henry VI 4 he made an agreement
with Robert de Willoughby granting common to Robert and
his bondmen of Toft in return for a payment made ' at the
day of foulding and pinning of the said abbot and convent '.
The abbot was still bound, however, to deliver cattle taken in
his drifft at le frith to their owners of the soke of Bolingbroke.

Between the line of vills of Holland on the coast from Boston
to Fosdyke and the line of vills of Kesteven, situated on the
higher land back of Cardike, was a long stretch of fenland
through which ran the boundaries between Kesteven and
Holland. Upon the vills on either side of the fen was incum-
bent the duty of keeping the bridges and causeys in repair
and of maintaining the ditches and dikes, whereby the waters
of Kesteven got their access to the sea, and to them pertained
also the rights of common in the intervening fenland.

The most northern stretch of fen, lying south of the Witham
along its course from Dogdike to Boston and Skirbeck Quarter,
and extending southward to the borders of Kyme, Heckington,
Hale, and Swineshead, was the ' fen of the Eight Hundreds ',
or Hauthundre fen, later, apparently, called Holland Fen. 5

Dugdale believed 1 that the original name of this fen was
Hauthuntre, from which ' Eight Hundred fen ' (mariscus octo
hundredorum) was wrongly derived, basing his statement probably
on a document of the twenty-fifth year of Henry III in which
the name occurs as Hauthundre. It seems more probable,
however, for several reasons, that the form Mariscus Octo
Hundredorum is a correct translation of the old English
name, first, because the form Mariscus Octo Hundredorum
occurs commonly in the Hundred Rolls and contemporary
records ; secondly, because the phrase * men of the Eight Hun-
dreds ' (homines octo hundredorum), occurs several times where
' fen ' does not seem necessarily implied ; and thirdly, because
examination of Domesday Book proves that there were actually
eight hundreds adjacent to the fen on the south which might
easily have had common there. The Domesday evidence is of
some interest. It shows that in Kirkton wapentake, bordering
the fen on the south, and in Skirbeck wapentake, adjacent to
Kirkton and lying along the coast to the north, occurred that
unusual arrangement of hundreds whereby in a larger number
of cases the hundred and the vill were coterminous and had the
same name. 2 The Domesday assessment 3 of the vills or hundreds
in Skirbeck wapentake shows a neat arrangement of ten vills
of twelve carucates each. Of these five are clearly called
hundreds, and one, Benington, is called ' ii hundred ' and
is rated at twenty-four carucates. In Kirkton wapentake
four vills at least work out clearly as twelve carucate vills
or hundreds, and a number of others are rated as just above or
below twelve carucates. The Spalding Register confirms the
evidence for Skirbeck by stating that there are in Skirbeck
wapentake eleven hundreds of twelve carucates each. 4 The
eleventh hundred may be Boston or Hilditch.

Among the vills or hundreds of Kirkton wapentake eight
had ancient rights of common in Eight Hundred fen like those
of the soke of Bolingbroke in the fens to the north. In a plea

of the eleventh year of Edward I 1 Thomas, son of John of
Wigtoft, seeks to withdraw from a writ brought against John,
son of Robert of Swineshead, and others there for the raising
of ten dikes in ' Hathhunderffen, Swyneheved, Wyktoft, Sotter-
ton, Alberkyrk, Kirkton, Fraimton, Wyberton, and Skyrbeck,
whereby they cannot drive their cattle to the fen of Hathunder-
fen '. Skirbeck lies properly in Skirbeck wapentake, but it is
probable that the part referred to in the document is that called
Skirbeck Quarter, situated south of the Witham and included
in Kirkton wapentake. It will be noticed also that these
eight vills lie adjacent to one another in the northern part of
the wapentake, and would naturally have pasture rights
extending to the north-west. Bicker, Donington, and Gosber-
church seem to have had common in the fen lying more directly
to the west of them.

In the Close Rolls of Henry Ill's reign 2 there is a reference to
a division of Hauthundre fen made by the consent of those that
had right therein ; each vill was to have its due proportion
assigned to it, and was to dispose and make improvement of the
same, and a perambulation was ordered to separate Hauthundre
fen from Fenting fen towards Hale. It would seem probable
that at this date (25 Henry III) the fen ceased to be held pro
indiviso, although commoners in the Eight Hundred fen still
appear in later documents. The great inquest of sewers of
9 Edward II for Kesteven and Holland gives the duties of the
men of the Eight Hundreds. 3 They are to cleanse the channel
of Swineshead from Blabberdebocke to the northern part of
Swineshead ; again, they, the men of the Eight Hundreds
of Holland on the east, together with the lord and commoners
of Heckington and with Philip de Kime on the west, ought to
repair the Oldhee between Holland and Heckington and Kyme.
Again, in the same inquest, it is stated that Hammondbec
sewer, obstructed by the men of Boston west of the bridge 4
and by the men of Skirbeck, ought to be repaired by these men,

and for this service all the aforesaid men on the west of the
bridge of Boston ought to have common in the fen of the
Eight Hundred. Perambulations l of the reigns of Richard II
and Henry VII laid the duty of keeping in repair two channels
cut across the fen from Midfendike at Wragmerstake to
Gillsike at Langrake on the inhabitants and commoners in the
Eight Hundred fen of Holland and of Skirbeck Quarter and
of the township of Boston within the Wapentake of Kirton,
with the provision that the earth cast up in the said Eight
Hundred fen should be cast up in heaps so that the water
course might not be impeded. The Inclosure Act of 1767 2
assigns to Hauthundre fen 22,000 acres 4 more or less ', and
states that the householders of eleven townships have right
of common: Boston West, Skirbeck Quarter, Wyberton,
Frampton, Kirkton, Algarkirke, Fosdyke, Sutterton, Wigtoft,
Swineshead, and Brothertoft. The owners and proprietors
have petitioned for a division of the fen into specific allotments.
Below the Eight Hundred fen lay a great stretch of fen
country extending as far as the Glen, in which many vills
had rights and duties. North and south through the middle
of the district ran the Midfendike, crossed by Holland bridge,
an4jneeting the Witham near Dogdike, and the Glen probably
at Gudramscowt. 3 To the west of this dike and parallel with
it ran Cardike along the inner edge of the fen, and to the east
of it the great ' Ripa '. This region was afforested by Henry I,
but was disafforested in part, at least, by a charter of Richard I
to Spalding Priory, and by charters of John and Henry III
(eleventh year), which allowed the prior of Spalding to enclose
and take easements. 4 A charter of the fourteenth year of
Henry III to the men of Kesteven disafforested the fen between
Spalding and Deeping, in which seems to have been included
a more northern portion lying between Cardike on the west,

at the bridge of Bicker, and the bridge of Spalding on the east,
and between Swaton and Bicker on the north, and Spalding
and East Deeping along the Welland on the south. 1 The
district thus included Deeping fen as well as the more northern
portions with which we are now dealing.

Of intercommoning in this fen the most important early
evidence is contained in a long document of 1250 included in
the Register of Spalding Priory. 2 It is a record of a indicium
certificacionis held in a case between Gilbert de Cheile and
certain others, and the prior of Spalding, regarding common
of pasture in Pinchbeck pertaining to a free tenement in
Gosberchurch and Surfleet, the prior complaining that the
assize of novel disseisin held at Whaplode regarding the said
pasture had been at fault. The jurors of the former assize
came before the justices in Spalding and declared that Gilbert
and the other plaintiffs had at one time commoned (aliquando
communicauerunt) in the said common, but not as pertaining to
their free tenement in the vills of Gosberchurch and Surfleet ;
for, they said, the three vills in question were in different
baronies and in different wapentakes, and a division called
'the beche ' lay between the vills, dividing the fen. They
also declared that from time out of memory the fen was common
to all of the countryside desiring to use it (' a tempore cuius
non extat memoria predicti marisci fuerunt communes omnibus
de patria qui in illis communicare uoluerunt '), but that after-
wards ' in the first habitation of the vills of Holland ' (' in
prima habitacione villarum hoiland ') the fens were limited and
separated, so that the men of Pinchbeck had their fen separate
to themselves, and the men of Gosberchurch and Surfleet in
like manner their fen to themselves, so that the men of Pinch-
beck could enclose their fen and use it at their will without
the consent of the men of Surfleet and Gosberchurch and
without impediment, and the men of the other two vills in
like manner ; and thus they had used it. But they said that
all men of the said vills had intercommoned in the rest of the
fen that was not enclosed, or the fens in which the enclosures

had been made, until thirty or twenty-four years before the
date of the litigation, and that during the said years the prior
had always impounded the cattle of the said Gilbert and others
whenever he made a pound, that is to say, once in one or two
years ; that the prior sometimes set free such cattle for favour,
or for vicinage, or for pledge, but sometimes kept them until
they died. On other occasions, however, they were allowed by
their owners to remain in pound ; and they, the owners, did not
know whether or not the prior took money for this. The court
reversed the former decision, declaring that Gilbert de Cheile and
the other plaintiffs in the assize could not prove peaceable seisin
for the last thirty years, and that the prior had kept the cattle
impounded with the consent of the owners, and was within his
rights in enclosing with fosses when he so desired, and in the
part so enclosed no common could be claimed. The case is
of some interest in showing contemporary opinion on the early
custom of the patria in the matter of common, and in furnish-
ing an early instance of division or bounding of the fen. It
seems clear that the three vills in question Pinchbeck, Gosber-
church, and Surfleet had at some time intercommoned, and
were still looked upon as an intercommoning group. Further
evidence of the grouping of these vills and of others for pur-
poses of common is afforded by an important class of docu-
ments, the inquests of sewers, which are very full of informa-
tion for the region in question. An inquest resulting from
a commission to special justices appointed in the eleventh year
of Edward I, which refers to an earlier inquest of Henry Ill's
reign, and also the often repeated inquest of the ninth year
of Edward II group the vills as follows for the repair of dikes
and walls : x Donington, Bicker, Quadring, and their com-
munarii, and Gosberchurch were held for the repair of the ripa
of Bicker ; Gosberchurch, Surfleet, and Pinchbeck for the repair
of the sewer de la Beche. Provisions are added for the repair
of Hammondbec, Oldhee, Southee, Boston, and Brunneholdee
by the vills protected by them. These inquests, it will be
noticed, seem to point also to a group of vills lying somewhat
north of Pinchbeck, Surfleet, and Gosberchurch, composed of

1 Add. MSS. 35296, f. 252, et seq., and f. 254, et seq.

xxvi INTRODUCTION

Donington, Bicker, and Quadring, with like duties of main-
tenance of sewers, and probably also with like common rights
in the fen adjacent to them ; that is to say, in the fen lying
between Eight Hundred fen and the fen of the vills just named.

Gosberchurch supplies interesting material for fen customs of
a somewhat different kind. In 1293 1 the abbot of Peterborough
brought an action of novel disseisin against certain ones for
forty acres of fen in Gosberchurch. The pleading discloses the
fact that the land in question was salt marsh, and subject
to the custom of the marsh, and the defendants claimed that
the abbot was not seised, because it was the custom of the
country that 4 whensoever the sea did by its raging overflow
any man's land, and, meeting with any resistance, or upon its
going back, waste any of the said land, and make a hollow
place, no man ought to fill up that place, but to cleanse and
drain it for the common benefit of the county, and so to let it
remain in the condition that the sea first left '. They claimed
that the sea made such a place eighteen years before in the
land of the abbot, and they drained it according to custom.
The abbot, on the other hand, claimed the land as his several,
where it was unlawful for any man to dig or drain, except in
one ditch, Gotecrike, on the confines of two hundreds. The
verdict was in favour of the abbot, the jurors saying that there
had once been a fosse there, but that it had been filled for
forty years and was now hard ground. In Edward Ill's reign
a somewhat similar case was tried with regard to the seisin
of land silted up by the sea, in which the abbot of Peterborough
claimed that it was the custom of Holland that land made
by silt belonged to him to whose land it first attached itself ;
others claimed that it belonged to land to which it was ulti-
mately adjacent, and in the forty-first year of the same king 2 a
memorable verdict was finally given that the lords of manors
adjoining the sea should enjoy all land raised by silt and sand.

The stretch of fenland which lay between the Glen and the
Welland was surrounded in the days after the conquest by
great lordships whose rights of intercommoning are of some
interest. The manor of Bourn lying to the north-west and

INTERCOMMONING IN FENLAND xxvii

across the Glen in Kesteven, and the great manor of Deeping
a little south of it were both in the lordship of the Wakes;
Boston and Langtoft, south of Deeping, were manors of Crow-
land, and at the turn of the Welland was Crowland Abbey.
Nearer the mouth of the Welland was Spalding Priory and
its manor of Pinchbeck already mentioned, Spalding was an
alien priory of St. Nicholas of Angers, founded in 1074 in place
of an earlier group of Crowland monks established in Spalding
by Ivo Taillebois, lord of Angers. Inland on the south-west of the
fen the family of the de Albini held the manors of Casewik, Uffing-
ton, and Tallington. The chief information regarding intercom-
moning in the fen is derived from the constant litigation and
quarrels among these lords concerning the rights of their respec-
tive manors. Many of the records of the actions to which
Spalding Priory was a party are preserved conveniently in the
two great volumes of the Spalding Register in the British
Museum. 1 The vill of Bourn is not as a rule involved in these
cases of intercommoning ; it lay in Kesteven, and its common,
of which we hear little, probably extended north of Glen. In
later documents a distinction is made between Brunne fen
and Deeping fen, and the profits of turves, agistment of cattle,
and greshyre payments of the two fens are listed separately. 2
The usual circle of vills intercommoning in Deeping fen included
Spalding, Pinchbeck, Boston, Langtoft, and Deeping ; Crow-
land sometimes asserted her claim, but probably the common
attached to the vill of Crowland lay south of the Welland, and
the abbot appears among the claimants of fen to the north
of the river only as lord of land in Boston and Langtoft.
Pinchbeck had additional common to the north, as has been
seen, as member of an intercommoning group with the vills
of Surfleet and Gosberchurch. There are instances elsewhere,
especially near the Isle of Ely, of single vills with rights of
common in the fens of two different groups of vills. It is

probable that at an early time three other vills shared in the
common of Deeping fen, making in all eight commoners. 1 In
the eighteenth year of Edward I a fine was brought forward in
court, which had been levied in the twenty-fourth year of
Henry III between Spalding and Crowland on the one hand and
William de Albini on the other, regarding common claimed
by William in the land of the abbot and prior in Crowland,
Spalding, Pinchbeck, Langtoft, and Boston. The Wakes of
Deeping were not parties to the fine ; perhaps with them there
was a separate arrangement. The agreement was reached
that William's men of the three vills of Casewik, Uffington,
and Tallington should have pasture rights, but should not
interfere with the abbot's or prior's use of the fen of the five
vills. The contention of the abbot and prior, as was usual
in cases begun by the writ of quo iure, was based on the fact
that they claimed no corresponding common for the men of
their vills in the vills of their opponent.

The most interesting groups of cases relating to the fen,
however, are those between Spalding and Crowland, and be-
tween Spalding, or Spalding and Crowland acting together, and
the Wakes. The chief quarrel recorded 2 between Spalding and
Crowland is in the forty-fourth year of the reign of Henry III,
regarding common pasture in the fen of Crowland, Spalding,
Pinchbeck, Langtoft, Boston, and Deeping, lying east of Welland,
which was ended by an agreement that neither party would
take, drive, or impound the cattle of the men of the other,
the abbot reserving for himself the service of the men of Stowe.
There is reference to a later quarrel between the abbey and
priory in 1330, 3 in which it is stated that many disturbers of
the peace, on behalf of Spalding, have removed bars and set
up lodges (logeas) in the fen of the abbot of Crowland, and have
impeded men going to Crowland, and have raised a wall on

the common dike of the intercommoning vills. Dugdale gives
earlier references to the same quarrel, 1 which seems to have
been of long standing and was concerned with the fen south
of Welland once common to the men of Ellowe wapentake*-

Quarrels with the Wakes were more frequent, and turned,
as a rule, on the question of the turbary rights of the five
vills. The prior claimed turbary as well as pasture throughout
the fen and everywhere within it, since the fen was held pro
indiviso by the five vills. The Wakes, on the other hand,
apparently in consideration of a special tract of two thousand
acres granted to them, had given up turbary rights, but had
kept common of pasture. 2 The quarrels usually began as
follows : The prior, in exercising his turbary rights, was in the
habit of enclosing a space for the drying of the turves, making
some sort of hedge or ditch, or both, to keep out cattle. He
asserted the right to make such enclosures on numerous occa-
sions, and in the main it was allowed him, but in 1294, 3 in an
action of trespass brought by the prior against the men of
John Wake on account of the removal of the prior's turves,
the defendants claimed that the prior had enclosed as much as
two thousand acres, and kept the tract enclosed for several
years, and that such exercise of his right of fodicio the right
itself they did not question was not reasonable. Moreover,
they claimed that the abbot had enclosed tracts of sixty or
eighty acres where no turves were drying and had surrounded
them with a ditch or fosse like a wall in a way not usual, and
had thereby kept the commoners from their common, and
that such enclosures were not in accordance with common law.
The prior asserted his long seisin of the right of enclosing for
turves in the fen ' which is in all the vills ', and of making some
protection against the depredations of cattle while the turves
were stacked first in musselli and later in great tassi, claiming
that such right lay ubique and that he ought not therefore
to be kept to any certain number of acres. After much litiga-
tion a verdict was given in 1301 in the prior's favour ; but in
1303 the question was raised again. 4 Galfrey de Deping,

xxx INTRODUCTION

a tenant of the Wakes in Deeping, brought the assize against
the prior, claiming that he had been disseised of his right of
common of pasture for all his cattle during all the year, a right
which pertained to his tenement in West Deeping. The abbot's
reply is of some interest : first he stated that the tenement was
in Deeping without any adieccio of West Deeping ; secondly,
that the soil of the pasture in which Galfrey de Deping claimed
common lay not only in East and West Deeping, as the writ
said, but in Pinchbeck, Boston, Langtoft, and Spalding also,
pro indiviso. If the decision were rendered against him on
these points, he claimed that the soil was held in common with
the abbot of Crowland, who was not named in the writ, and if
the decision were still against him, then that he had committed
no iniuria because from time immemorial the priors of Spalding
had enclosed for turves, and he had so enclosed in sixty acres
and not in three hundred acres as was claimed. The jurors'
verdict l was that the tenement lay in West Deeping and the
soil in East and West Deeping and not in the other vills, and
that the abbot of Crowland and others had only common of
pasture ; that the prior might enter and enclose, but that the
custom was such that after enclosure the averia of all were
to enter ; that the prior had enclosed not three hundred acres,
as was stated, but only one hundred acres; but that he had
surrounded the enclosures with a deeper ditch and a higher
wall than in earlier times, and had left a little opening through
which he admitted his own cattle for pasture, and at this
opening had stationed guardians to let in his own cattle and
keep out the cattle of others, which was not permitted. The
verdict was given against the prior. The exact situation of
the fen in question in this case is not clear ; probably it was
not within the limits of that commonly said to be held pro
indiviso since the abbot of Crowland had only pasture, whereas

1 Harl. MSS. 742, f. 21 b : ' Dicunt eciam quod talis est consuetude in marisco

est temporibus suis includere solebant secundum consuetudinem in eodem per

aliorum qui ibidem communicare debent quam eciam dicti prioris aueria ad
ibidem comunicandum . . . intrare debent, &c.'

INTERCOMMONING IN FENLAND xxxi

Spalding had turbary rights also and a discrimination of this
kind against Crowland is not made elsewhere. Probably soon
after this 1 the prior requested Lord Thomas Wake to give to
him and his bonds and cottagers of Spalding and Pinchbeck
turbary in the ' fen of Deeping ', the turves to be for personal
use and not to be sold to foreign manors, and also search in
Norfen as far as Prior's dike, and fisheries. On the ground
that the prior had already lost as many as fifteen great beasts
without any compensation a request is added that Thomas's
bailiff should not impound the prior's cattle, and the further
claim is made that in times past the prior had had averia of
both forinsec and intrinsec manors, turves everywhere, the
enclosing of greater or lesser places at will, and the surrender
to him of his averia when scrutinium and cerchium were made.
The agistment of forinsec beasts is defined as extending from
Cheilebec to Prior's dike. The document seems to suggest
an aggressive policy of the Wakes, which is evident in certain
other quarrels also, and which perhaps resulted from the fact
that Deeping was in the hands of the king in the twenty-fifth
year of King Edward, and the Wakes based their claim of
seisin of various rights on the previous seisin of the king. In
1297 2 an important action of trespass was brought against
the prior and certain men of Spalding, whose names fill almost
a page of the record, on the ground that, on the Monday
next after the Exaltation of Holy Cross at midnight, they
rased a fosse of the Wakes and cut down trees. The docu-
ment seems to refer to a well-organized raid against the Wakes.
The prior's defence was the old one : that the fen was held
pro indiviso by the five vills, that four vills had turbary right
but Deeping none, and that when certain ones, extranei and
ignoti, made a fosse interfering with their common, they, the
defendants, destroyed it. The Wakes replied that the fosse in
question they received from the king, which the prior denied.

xxxii INTRODUCTION

A case of 1303 l between Joanna wife of John Wake and Prior
Clement, regarding Joanna's claim of turbary, contains the
statement that the Wakes gave up their turbary rights in the fen
of the five vills held pro indiviso in return for estovers in a certain
wood, and further introduced the argument, of some importance
in dealing with common rights, that the prior's men who
disturbed her in her digging in the soil which she claims as
her own were villeins, whereas the prior had claimed rights
belonging to free tenements. On this last point the jurors gave
a verdict against the prior.

Cases between the lordships relating to pasture rights alone,
and not involving turbary, go back to the reign of Henry III.
Here the Wakes were again the aggressors. Hugh Wake in
Henry Ill's reign 2 was summoned by a writ of quo iure to answer
the prior of Spalding and the abbot of Crowland, and show why
he had made a pound in the fen of the five vills for forinsec
beasts which had no common in the fen, but for the agistment
of which Hugh of course received money, as well as for beasts
which had common, and why he had attracted forinsec beasts
into the fen, taking redemption for them. Crowland and
Spalding claimed that they were in such seisin of the fen that
they could sow their several therein and make meadows (with
which Hugh's claim might interfere), and that neither Hugh
nor his ancestors had had a pound or agisted forinsec beasts.
Hugh placed himself on the grand assize, claiming that he
had the rights in question as pertaining to his manor of Deeping.
The case was decided in the main in Hugh's favour that he
had the right of agisting forinsec animals except in meadows
in defence, and of having a pound for both intrinsec and forinsec
animals once a year. The further proceedings throw interesting
light on the history of the custody of records. In 1281 3 Baldwin
Wake brought an action against the prior, and the prior relied
on the decision in the previous case, in which it was adjudged

that the fen lay in the five vills pro indiviso. It proved impossible,
however, to produce the rolls of this earlier case when they were
called for because after the death of Robert of Lexinton, before
whom it was tried, they were left in the custody of his son,
then a minor who could not be distrained to appear till his
majority. A marginal note adds that in the fifth year of
Edward III another scrutiny was made of the rolls of the
Exchequer where little or nothing was found of the process in
question. Near the end of the Spalding Register x a long docu-
ment of later date sets forth the proofs as then held that the
fen lying between Spalding and Deeping did not belong to
Deeping. Spalding's claim is taken back to the gift made by
Ivo Tallebois of all the fen except the silva. Lucy's gift of
the silva is then mentioned, next the afforesting and dis-
afforesting of the fen, the claim that lordship of fisheries and
of growing trees gives Spalding lordship of the fen adjacent
to the fisheries and of the soil in which the trees grow. Other
facts are emphasized also : that the prior takes tithes in the fen,
that coroners of Spalding, Pinchbeck, Weston, and Moulton are
summoned when any persons are found dead in the fen, that
the ancestors of John Wake had never dug turves, that only John
Wake himself had dug under colour of the king's seisin, and that
the Wakes had admitted that the fen lay in five vills indifferenter
in a case of trespass of the thirtieth year of Edward I.

CHAPTER II

INTERCOMMONING IN FENLAND SOUTH AND
EAST OF THE WELLAND

SOUTH of Deeping fen, below the Welland and the narrow
strip of habitable land extending from Spalding to Sutton
and from Wisbeach to King's Lynn, the fens opened out to
include a great district lying to the south as far as Ramsey,
Somersham, S waff ham, and Burwell. Within this territory
the great island monasteries, Peterborough, Thorney, Crow-
land, Ramsey, and Ely, and smaller houses like Chatteris and

1 Harl. MSS. 742, f. 340, et seq.

xxxiv INTRODUCTION

Sawtrey, were constantly contending with one another and
with the lordships on the mainland for pasture and turbary and
other fen rights and profits. The fullest records of litigation
come from Ely, Ramsey, and Thorney. The space of arable
land on the little islands which were occupied by fen villages
was often so restricted that the maintenance of rights in the
adjacent fen became for the villagers and the lords a matter
of prime importance, and although the ancient geographical
divisions and features of the district have been in part obscured
by the draining which changed the face of the country and
often obliterated old landmarks and names, yet circles of
intercommoning vills like those of the northern fens may still
be discerned.

Crowland, the abbey nearest to Deeping, claimed, as has
been stated, pasture and turbary in Deeping fen, and was
often involved in litigation with the Wakes and the priory
of Spalding. To the cases already given should be added one of
1234, 1 an agreement between Hugh Wake and Crowland, which
probably refers to part of Deeping fen south of the Welland.
Hugh gave up common pasture, chase and rechase, except for
himself and his heirs ; the foresters of both claimants were
to be present in cases of enclosure made by the abbot, and
both were to have locks and keys for the barra lad which went
to Harnold. Later disputes with the Wakes had to do clearly
with the fen of Goggisland, which lay north of Crowland and
which the abbot claimed as his precinct and ' in his proper
soil '. 2 A more important dispute over intercommoning arose
from a very early attempt of the men of Holland on the north,
who had already, it is said, drained their own fens for arable,
to get possession of the Crowland fen south of Assendike, the
abbot's boundary. In this case there is traditional evidence
of early intercommoning rights of the South Holland villages
situated between Spalding and Tydd in the great Postland and
South Holland fens drained by the South Ee. The story of
the attack on Crowland is well known. 3 On the rumour of the

king's death, in 1189, the prior of Spalding and the other
lords commoning in Ellowe fen met in Holbeach church or
in a barn at Weston, and entered into a conspiracy against
Crowland, so that when the abbot of Crowland, as was his
wont, kept up his marshes in Rogation Week, and for the sake
of his hay proclaimed from Spalding Bridge that the men of
Holland and others should keep their cattle out, the said men
drove their cattle into the fen. These the abbot impounded,
and the men of Ellowe, annoyed thereat, set a day and came
' three thousand strong ' armed as for battle. The abbot met
them at Assendike and prayed for peace, but they passed him
by and divided up the fen among their towns, according to
their situation ; then they pitched their tents, made huts and
set guards, and for fifteen days dug turves and cut down wood
and alders. The abbot appealed first to Geoffrey FitzPeter,
then to Hubert Walter, and the judges at London, and the
men being frightened went home. Hubert Walter enjoined
Geoffrey FitzPeter, sheriff of Northamptonshire, to summon
the prior of Spalding and the rest to Deeping. After some
years the case was settled in the abbot's favour.

Peterborough's chief pasture rights were in the fen north of
Welland, and, as has been shown above, were derived from the
manors of Gosberchurch, Quadring, and Donington in Kirkton
wapentake. The point of greatest interest raised was the
ownership of the silt and sand cast up by the sea at Gosber-
church.

For Thorney there is more information. The abbey was
surrounded by fenland, and in deriving its profits therefrom
it came into contact with Ramsey on the south-west and Ely
on the south and east. The beautiful Red Book of Thorney
is full of references to quarrels among the three lordships.
Some time between 1133 and 1169 the bounds on the east
between Thorney and the Ely manor of Wisbeach, and on the
west between Ramsey and the Thorney manor of Whittlesea,
were determined by ten men, five chosen from each lordship,
with final reference to a third person. 1 Bounds so determined
were not maintained, however, for in 1218 an inquest was

173, et seq.

xxxvi INTRODUCTION

made in the vills adjacent to the fenland through the oath of
old men and others cognizant of the matter, and was pursued
for more than a year. It was then decided by the weary liti-
gants that there were no bounds other than Horsebeche and
Midfentre and le Cnor (Knarr fen), a decision confirmed by
one Adam of Tid, who said he had known the bounds for forty
years and more, and there were no other than these, and that
it was the custom if any of Whittlesea were found in Thorney
fen to take them to Thorney and to release them only at the
prayer of Ely. It was also the custom for Thorney to have
a bar and lock on Horsebeche water. A question arose again
in 1247 1 regarding twelve hundred acres of fen measured by
the perch of twenty-two feet, of which acres one-third were
awarded to Thorney. Again, in 1250, 2 a common fosse with
separate bars was made in order to give Ely an entrance to
the fen and egress therefrom. A number of cases occur in
which the free men of Thorney vills play a part. The ' free
men of Yaxley ', 3 for example, had some difficulty with the
' free men of Stilton ' over boundaries and over the right of
entrance to Whittlesea mere. It was decided that neither
vill with its participes was to have common in the fen of the
other. Again the ' free men of Stangrund ' 4 came to an agree-
ment with Thurstan regarding common and estovers in Multfen.
Reasonable estovers are denned as two boat-loads of wood to
burn (thirty feet by seven feet), and one boat-load of ' pales '
for hedges, one load to be taken between Easter and Pentecost,
and two between Michaelmas and All Saints' Day. A docu-
ment of 1235 5 relating to Leverington, a vill adjacent to the
fen in dispute between Thorney and Ely, makes unusually
clear an intercommoning semicircle of vills. It is stated
that Heyefen belonged to the manor of Wisbeach, and to
the villate of Leverington, Newton, Tydd, Elm, and Wells
in the liberty of Ely, and that the said vills commoned there
' horn under horn with their beasts '. 6 An attempt was made
to divide this fen from Thorney's fen to the west of it, 7 and
a further agreement was reached by the abbot and twenty-one

'freemen of Leverington ' and their participes with regard to
thirty acres near Trokenholt, in which the abbot, for one
twenty-fifth part, was to have one twenty-fifth part of all
purprestures made. This important group of intercommoning
vills becomes very clear again in the records of Ely.

Thorney came into contact with the abbey of Ramsey in
the fen lying between Ramsey and the Thorney manor of
Whittlesea. As far back as the time of the Confessor a division
of this fen was made, two-thirds to Ramsey and one-third to
Thorney, the bounds being run from Kingsdelph by Hyndelac
to Whittlesea mere, in the presence of representatives of
Thorney, Ramsey, Peterborough; and Crowland. 1 Disputes
continued, however, into the thirteenth century. In 1224
common pasture was demanded by both abbeys, Ramsey
declaring that Thorney's claim was unjust because Ramsey
made no corresponding claim in the fen of Yaxley. 2 A dike
was made common to both, and an agreement reached by the
freemen of Thorney and the freemen of Ramsey. In 1281 3
a long quarrel began regarding thirty-eight hundred acres of
fen. Ramsey claimed the tenement as lying in the vill of
Ramsey, and declared that Ely, Thorney, and others had dis-
seised her ; Thorney claimed the tenement as part of Whittle-
sea manor in Cambridgeshire, and Ely claimed it as part of
her Cambridgeshire liberty, Ely and Thorney agreeing in their
defence that it lay ' in many other vills and places than in
Ramsey '. In the fourteenth century there were still diffi-
culties with regard to ' drives ' in Kingsdelf, and with regard
to Ramsey's claim of sole right of pasture in Middlemoor in
Huntingdonshire. 4 Apparently the greater part of the wide
stretch of disputed fenland was at that time still used in com-
mon by the vills of the lordships.

Ramsey's difficulties with the Cistercian foundation of
Sawtrey, lying to the west across the fen beyond Higney, are
of some interest. Sawtrey was founded by Simon, Earl of
Northampton, in / 1146^ x and at the time of foundation some
attempt seems to have been made to discover from the men of
the vill the ancient bounds of Sawtrey in the fen. The bounds

were traced back to the days of Thurkil the Dane, from Stakes-
mere as a starting-point ' where four lords could sit each on
his own soil and eat from one shield V In the days of Henry I,
it was said, a dispute had arisen between the men of Sawtrey
and the men of Walton, and a perambulation had been made,
passing from one to another of four men stationed in prominent
places. Within the bounds so established the men of the two
vills could cut and dry turves and pasture cattle, but outside
the bounds they had no common except with the permission
of the other villate (licencia aliarum villatarum). Still another
story was told concerning these bounds : In the time of Cnut,
by order of the king, a division of the fen was made by Thurkil
among all the vills iuxta mariscum. Thurkil, in the words of the
chronicle, 2 'mariscum divisit et quantum unaquaeque villa de
marisco in proprium habere debuit ; ut videlicet quantum
unuscuiusque villae sicca terra de marisco tangeret, tantum
usque ad terminos manerii sui de Saltre praenominatos, unaquae-
que villa in proprium haberet, tarn pro pastura ad pascendum
quam ad falcandum et fodiendum. Pastores vero nostri super
exteriores hassocos versus Waltone inter pratum et mariscum
debent stare, et animalia sua usque ad pedes suos venire per-
mittere.' The pastor es quarrelled, however, and therefore in ' our
time ' the lords of Walton, Glatton, Conington, Sawtrey, came
together and agreed on pasturing ' horn under horn ', but stated
their belief that the fen had been divided from the ' beginning of
Christianity ' and long before the foundation of Thorney, Ramsey,
or Crowland, and that the abbot of Peterborough ' et habitatores
Huntedoniensis provinciae debeant et mariscum et aquas
medium partiri '. Such old stories of divisions of the fen show
very clearly the uncertainty of boundaries, and the attempt of
lordships, as they arrived at self-consciousness in the matter
of fen rights, to carry their claims back to very early times
when as yet, in spite of the belief of the various lords quoted,
no delimitation of the fen had taken place.

The intercommoning of the vills surrounding Uggmere is
referred to in several documents relating to Ramsey. In
1342 3 an inquest of lades and trenches was held in Walton,

INTERCOMMONING IN FENLAND xxxix

Sawtrey, and Conington on the complaint that certain trenches
had been made by these vills whereby the men of Upwood,
Ravel ey Magna, and Walton, 'who have common pasture there,'
had been disturbed. Again, tenants of both Raveley Magna
and Upwood brought suit of disseisin of common of pasture in
the fen of Walton. 1 Probably in this stretch of fenland Ram-
sey, Upwood, Great Raveley, Walton, Sawtrey, and Conington
had all originally had rights of pasture.

The lordships of Ramsey and Ely touched in the fenland
in Weremeremore lying between Benwick and Ramsey. 2 The
manors claiming common here were the Ramsey manors of
Broughton, Wistowe, Warboys, Bury, Upwood, and Raveley,
and the Ely soke of Somersham including Pidley, Fenton, and
Bluntisham. We are told that these manors intercommoned
peacefully till 1270, in which year the custodes of the fen of Ely
impounded the beasts of the Ramsey vills in Weremeremore,
and the custodes of the fen of Ramsey impounded the beasts
of Ely in Crowlodemore. 3 An agreement was reached in 1294
at a dies amoris whereby the Ramsey manors were to common
in Weremeremore and the manors of the Ely soke in Crowlode-
more ; the lade of Fenton was to be common to both groups,
and the abbot agreed to keep the lade of Needingworth shallow
enough for the passage of the beasts and commoners of Ely
to Holy well. 4

In Norfolk Ramsey claimed rights of common in the fens
near Marshland. In 1250 William Bardolf, 5 lord of Stowe,
granted one-third of one hundred and twenty acres of fen
called Westfen, within Podike towards Marshland, and fifty
acres of fen outside Podike towards Welles, and one-third
of the fosse with free ingress and egress, the said fen and
fosse belonging to Stowe, Wynbodesham, and Downhamhithe-
The grant so made had been quitclaimed previously to William
Bardolf by the bishop of Ely, the abbot of Ramsey, the prior
of Lewis, Thomas of Ingoldesthorpe, and ' omnes alii eiusdem
parcenarii marisci et fossati ', in the presence of Henry de
Bathonia and other justices at Lynn. A later document of

1282 * divides the fen of Staplewere between the abbot and
William Bardolf, and mentions the marisco non partita which
the two lordships used in common or leased to others by arrange-
ments made with their bailiffs. For fenland in the same dis-
trict a fine was made in 1190 between the abbot and William
de Warenne. 2

The fullest information regarding common in the southern
fenland is to be found, as has been said, in the numerous and
valuable records of Ely in the great custumals and rolls of
the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, in later documents
relating to the draining of the fen in which reference is some-
times made to earlier conditions, and in the inquests of sewers
especially in those relating to Ely villages near the coast. 3 These
documents show clearly groups of intercommoning vills and
heir respective duties in the maintenance of walls and drains.
They show vills in a few cases dependent on the fen for the
very means of existence, having no demesne land or very little, 4
and they suggest also that the rights of pasture were of very
early origin.

~ Ely's disputes with Thorney over the fen between Wisbeach
and Whittlesea, and with Ramsey over the western fens near
Chatteris and Somersham, have been described above. Other
difficulties arose between the bishop and prior of Ely, who, never
too friendly, were forced to an agreement during the reign of
Henry V. The prior had claimed the soil of the waste and fen
in the Isle of Ely, in the manors of Sutton, Wickham, Wichford,
Wentworth, Whittlesea, and Stuntney, as held by him pro indiviso
and in common with the bishop. He wished also to receive all
' forfeitures of the fennes ' arising from cutting and digging of
turves, cutting of lesch and rushes, from ' forinsec and intrinsec
men '. The bishop claimed the same soil and forfeitures. The

decision reached was that the soil and the fines from his tenants
were the bishop's, and that the forfeitures of the fens from
' forinsec men ', that is to say, from those not having ancient
common of estovers, were to be divided equally between the
bishop and the prior. 1

The use of the fen by groups of villages lying near Ely and
belonging, as a rule, to the lordship was as follows : Caldwell
fen extending south from Ely to Barham and Thetford, and
Kufen extending towards Stuntney, were used in common by
the bishop and prior of Ely, by lord Walter of Ely, and by
the men of Thetford. Gruntifen to the south-east, a very
interesting and clear case, was used in common by Ely and
all the villate touching it, that is to say, by Thetford, Wichford,
Wingford, Hadenham, Wilburton, Stretham, in cutting, digging,
and burning, in pasture and meadow. 2 Within these fens
individuals sometimes had meadows or pasture in severalty,
enclosed by means of fosses, and entailing freedom of ingress
and egress, and sometimes the liberi homines of Ely had a share
in these rights. Stretham and Thetford, lying in one parish,
besides their common in Gruntifen had common also in the
great stretch of fenland lying north-east towards Lakenheath.
They had also common to the southward. In Thetfordheyfen
and Bechfen they shared the common with the Templars of
Denney Abbey and the villata of Waterbeach 'horn under
horn ' in pasture, but not in cutting or digging ; in the meadows
in Holefen the bishop, Stretham, Thetford, and Berewye
participated. 3 Wilburton had common in Gruntifen, and
common of pasture with Stretham and Thetford in Suthfen,
except in certain meadows and heads (' capitibus ad terras tocius
uillate de Wilbertone spectantibus que abutant super eundem
mariscum'). In part of this fen vills of the soke of Lindon
also participated. 4 Downham, where the bishop's palace stood,
had common for the greater and lesser folk of the villata in
Westfen and Eastfen and far out into the fen towards
Chatteris.

xlii INTRODUCTION

In the great stretch of fen running northward from Littleport
the soke of Dudington commoned, and in March many assarts
were made from the fenland. 1 In Littleport the cutting of
lesch was of great importance. Bishop Hugh of Northwald
(1229-54) had granted to Littleport the right to cut lesch and
rushes in Rakfen on the payment of forty shillings a year.
Littleport far exceeded the rights granted to her, making
devastation in all the common of Ely and selling lesch to
cxtranei, which no commoner of Littleport or Ely had the right
to do. Littleport had, moreover, wrongfully appropriated
the fens of Wlpmor, Brendifen, Padenhalefen, and Westfen,
had cut and sold there to extranei six thousand lesch, and
had even bargained with foreign labourers from Norfolk to
cut and sell in the fens, receiving from them eighty shillings,
and thus making a clear profit of forty shillings over and above
the price of the lesch and rushes sold. As a penalty Littleport
lost the profit of the lesch crop for one year. 2

In the south-east the soke of Somersham intercommoned, as
has been stated, with vills of the lordship of Ramsey, that is
to say, with the manors of Warboys, Caldecote, Woldhyrst,
and Woodhurst, near Bluntisham ; and also with the homage
of the abbot and the prior of St. Ives, that is to say, with the
villate of St. Ives, Holywell, and Needingworth, in fen extending
to Bluntesmere. The Ely customary states that ' when beasts
from other forinsec vills have entered that common, the villate
in question shall give for every beast a penny at the term of
Saint John, of which the lord bishop shall have half, and the
lord abbot of Ramsey the other half '. 3 Willingham, not
far from this south-eastern group, furnishes a rare example
of the claims of the villata as over against the lord in the
matter of commoning. In Middelfen and Hevenshale no one
had rights of common except the bishop and the villata of
Willingham, and such common was confined to their own
beasts. If, however, the bishop willed it, extranei were per-
mitted to pasture their cattle in the fen for a sum of money,
on condition that the freemen of Willingham received every

seventh penny excepting the tithe. Again, if extranei made
hay, the freemen were to receive the seventh penny from the
second tally of each cartload. It is stated as a grievance that
by permission of the bishop the use of the common without
payment had been allowed to a certain lord and to the villata
of Rampton. Again, in Westf en, Ely and Willingham had common
with the villata of Over ' horn under horn ' and the freemen of
Willingham, and likewise the men of Over had the seventh
penny from the beasts of extranei. 1

In Norfolk the same kind of intercommoning is found. The
Ely vills of Dereham and Shipdham, for example, lay on the
edge of higher ground, Dereham facing the fen to the east
and Shipdham to the south. A great turbary called Etlingeker
lay beside Dereham, in which there intercommoned in pasture
' horn under horn ', but not in turbary except by permission
of the bishop, the soke of Dereham, and the villate of Yaxham,
Mattishall, and Tudenham. Etlingegrene and Suthwodegrene
were shared by the same participants. 2 In Brunesmor and
Morgategrene Dereham intercommoned with the homages of
certain lordships ; in Sperning, Grassehale, and Galesweremore
with the villata and thirteen of the homage of William de
Stuteville and Thomas de Hereford. Shipdham, 3 the chief
manor of the hundred and half of Medford, intercommoned
with Dereham and Letton in Lungmore, with Dereham in
Depeker, with Letton, Reymerston, and Cranworth in a
certain wood of seventy acres. Felt well soke intercommoned
with Methwold, Wilton, and Hockwold, with the bishop and
lordships of vills, and their homages, ' horn under horn ' in ' le
reg ', 4 with Dereham in Suthfen, and with Methwold in Northfen.
Suthfen, containing one thousand acres, was common to the
soke of Northwold and Methwold. 5

the manor of Bramford, and therefore the bishop had the forfeitures. Ibid.,

xliv INTRODUCTION

adjoining Cambridgeshire vills of Wisbeach hundred, have
been left to the last, 1 to be discussed together, because they show
with especial clearness not only the custom of intercommoning
in pasture and turbary, but also the corresponding burdens of
maintaining dikes and drains to keep the waters of the fen and
sea away from the villages and pastures. Marshland lay in
Freebridge hundred in north-western Norfolk between the
Wisbeach river and the Ouse on the west and east, and the
old sea wall running outside of Terrington on the north, and
the new Podike or Pokedich from Upwell to Downham on
the south. Dugdale says that the district contained some
thirty thousand acres, and that in his day part of it, called the
Smeeth, was common to all and fed some thirty thousand sheep. 2
The vills bordering on the fen along the coast, and extending
inland along the rivers, were Wiggenhall, Terrington, Walpole,
Walton, Tilney, Walsoken, Emneth, Outwell, and Clenchwarton.
They belonged in part to the church of Ely 3 who held a ' lete
of the liberty of the bishop in the fen ', in part to other lordships,
the abbey of Ramsey, the abbey of Dereham, and the Bar-
dolphs. They commoned in the fen, pasturing their cattle
there ' horn under horn ' and cutting turves. At times the
region was so well drained that ' no mole or rat could be found
in it ', but constant effort was required to keep back the waters,
and often the taxes levied on the hundred had to be lessened
on account of its ' drowning '. 4 Once in the reign of Edward III
all Marshland was flooded for seven days. The heavy duty of
' defence ' was apportioned among the intercommoning vills.
The sea wall along the coast and Podike in the south were
kept in repair by all the vills having benefit therefrom. 5 Each
vill had, moreover, its own ' ward-dike ' or ' indike ' surround-
ing it, to serve as its special defence. Terrington, for example,
on the edge of the sea had, in later times, two mighty walls
' armed and defended ' against the sea with piles of ' wood-
shoves ' ; it had also indikes, the ancient ward-dikes, which it
kept in repair, and for the maintenance of its section of Podike

it set aside the profits from a certain portion of pasture within
the vill. 1 Into Wiggenhall an arm of the sea extended along
which two sea walls were necessary, one six miles long, another
three miles long, and to the maintenance of these was added
the repair of two miles of Podike. 2 Tilney, in Edward Ill's
reign, after a great flood, had to maintain two miles of sea-
bank, the repair of one and one-half miles of which cost 58 10s.,
and of a half-mile 6 10s. Another mile on the north cost forty
shillings a year, probably the normal rate of expenditure on walls
in ordinary years. 3 Tilney maintained also a mile of Pokedich,
costing forty shillings. Walpole by the same assessment had
three miles of sea-bank and one mile of Pokedich. Walsoken
had the same amount. West Walton had five and a half miles of
sea-dike and one mile of Pokedich, Terrington three miles of
sea-bank, Wiggenhall seven miles along the great river, that is
to say, the arm of the sea. In addition to all this Tilney, West
Walton, Walsoken, and Walpole maintained Knight's Gole.
A bank from Lakebrigge to Cowstowe which was used by the
commoners of the three counties of Huntingdon, Cambridge,
and Norfolk as a passage for their cattle had also to be main-
tained, 4 and a lade in Marshland was repaired by the towns of
Marshland on the Norfolk side, and by Tydd St. Giles, Newton,
Leverington, Wisbeach, Upwell, and Elm on the Cambridge
side.

The incidence of the duty of repair among the villagers
of the individual vill is rarely mentioned in earlier documents,
but the inquests of later dates give many instances of the method
of apportionment. In Walsoken, for example, every acre
repaired four feet of sea-bank and one foot of Podike ; 5 every
acre in West Walton repaired six feet two inches of sea-bank
and one foot of Podike. 6 Occasionally such work was com-
muted for ' acreshot ' or acre silver. At other times the work
itself was still rendered and is probably the ' menework '
mentioned in several documents. For example, between Tilney
and its hamlet Islington there were no bounds, and every year

xlvi INTRODUCTION

the preservation of the 4 kays and schores ' was made by mene-
works, and every year three guardians were chosen for this by
ancient custom. 1 In Wiggenhall one half of the free were
employed in meneworks and c grundegole '. 2 Grundegole was
a breach made in the wall which was to be repaired by the
owner or commonalty, and very heavy fines were incurred by
those neglecting their obligations. The ancient fines for breach
of the custom of the fen were called bylawe, biscot, triscot,
and wopenny. 3 Bylawe was the penalty for neglecting the
first summons to repair an endangered defence and was levied
at the rate of I2d. for every perch of sea wall unrepaired,
6d. for every perch of freshwater bank, 3d. for every perch of
sewer or gutter. Biscot was the penalty for failure to appear
at the second summons, and was double the bylawe in amount,
and triscot was paid for failure to attend at the third summons
and was three times the bylawe in amount. Wopenny was
a penny taken by the person distraining for each distress. 4
The fines were collected by the dike reeves, officers who
appear frequently in the later documents and whose duties
are described as the summoning to the meneworks, and the
oversight of such works, the taking of fines and acre shot, the
keeping of swine from feeding or rooting near the sea-bank,
the prevention of persons from digging near the walls, and of
' drifts ' of beasts on the sea-banks, and in general the main-
tenance of the custom of Marshland. They held courts at
Watlington and Old Ee. 5 The regulations for building the new
Podike in Henry VI's reign 6 show the perpetuation of similar
arrangements. The old Podike had fallen into disrepair and
many pastured their cattle on it. The new dike was to be
raised by all the towns of Marshland and by Wiggenhall. It
was to be five or six feet high, eighteen feet wide at the base
and twelve feet wide at the top, on its south side no digging
was to be allowed within forty feet, and upon it there was to
be no pasturage of cattle or drift. In Henry VII's reign every
acre of Marshland was assessed for the repair of four inches of
Podike. 7

INTERCOMMONING IN FENLAND xlvii

The Cambridgeshire hundred of Wisbeach, west of Marsju-
land, within the liberty of Ely, offers interesting evidence
of the intercommoning of all the vills included within the
hundred, and of the rating of the hundred as a unit in common
rights and duties. In the thirteenth century the vills were
Wisbeach, Upwell, Tydd St. Giles, Newton, Outwell, Elm, and
Leverington, with the small hamlets of Dowsdale, Watersey,
once belonging to Wisbeach castle, and Persondrove. The
vills commoned in the pasture of the hundred which was called
Heyefen and which extended to the westward ; here, it is said,
' they ought to eat in common horn under horn with their
cattle V Corresponding to the rights of common were the
duties of defence against flood, distress for non-repair of walls
being taken, at least after Edward I's reign, either according
to the number of acres in the vill, or according to the amount
of its common of pasture or turbary. 2 A great bank ran from
Guyhirne to the sea, fifty feet high after passing Tydd Gote,
which time out of memory had been repaired by all the tenants
in the hundred of Wisbeach. 3 In addition to this the great
fen dike, fossatum marisci, which ran by way of Schofen dike
between the two Tydds, dividing Lincolnshire from Cambridge-
shire, was maintained by the vills in common, and was to be
barred in three places against the passage of the carts and
animals of commoners and extranei.* Part of Southee dike was
also to be repaired by the whole hundred. 5 Four Gotes was
maintained by Wisbeach, Leverington, Newton, and Tydd
St. Giles, and a special guard or dike reeve was appointed there.
The great importance of maintaining the fendike was made
especially clear in the reign of Henry VI. On St. Wulfstan's
day, 1439, through the defect of one Thomas Flower of Okeham,
who, despite the warning of the prepositus fossati, had failed
to repair his portion of the fossatum marisci or 'Wisbeach
fendike ', namely twenty-six feet for a tenement of twenty-four
acres, the waters of the fen entered and drowned 4,400 acres
in Wisbeach, 4,600 in Leverington, 1,400 in Newton, and 2,000

1 Dugdale, Imbanking, pp. 309, 356 ; Claud. C. xi, f . 73. The vills had also
a faldagium once a year, ' de animalibus forinsecis pascentibus in marisco.'

xlviii INTRODUCTION

in Tydd. 1 Each vill had also to maintain its own ward-dikes,
called in Wisbeach the Syddike and the Threddike, and the
height was specified. 2 The walls between the towns of the
hundred were to be sixteen feet high to keep the waters of one
vill from another vill, and no one was to make a cut on any
ward-dike or crest within any vill of the hundred of Wisbeach,
under penalty of a fine of forty shillings. The esseweres, or
drains from the sea-bank to the fen-bank, had to be main-
tained, and also the ' crests ' along the sewers "and between the
fields. Within the vill the burden of repair was laid in many
cases on special fields. Within Wisbeach certain sewers and
dikes were maintained by groups of tenants within the vill,
especially those with land in the ' infields '. 3 Thus tenants in
the old market repaired the wall, tenants in Townhende repaired
Sebryncke fosse, tenants in Fenhende repaired Newdike, tenants
in Gehirnfeld repaired a crest, and similar duties fell on tenants
in Richeyfeld, Sayersfeld, Briggefeld, and Eldefeld. Similar
arrangements were made in the other vills of the hundred. In
Elm and Wells in the reign of Richard II a new fosse was needed
with a barra to prevent the ' chasing and rechasing ' of cattle
along its crest. Willows were planted along it for its better
preservation, and if, by chance, cattle destroyed any willows,
they were to be replaced by the owner of the cattle.

The dike reeves held offices of much importance in Wisbeach
hundred. 4 The custodes fossatorum were to pay their ancient
services and custom to the lord of the fee ; the reeves of the
dikes of Elm and Wells were to receive the penalties for injury
done by beasts to the fosse between the two vills and to take
a penny for every pig found unringed near the fossata salua-
cionum. They had control of all common on the dikes. Thus
it was not permitted to any lord or commoner to pasture on
the fosse any animals save sheep, nor to make any drift there,
on account of inestimable damage in times past ; and if any
animals were found, they were to be impounded at Waltersee
or in the common fold of Elm, Wisbeach, or Wells, either by

the bailiff of Waltersee or by the dike reeves of Elm, Wisbeach,
or Wells, and there they were to be detained until the fine
was paid. Moreover, for the further protection of the fosse,
eight bars were to be built across it to impede the course of
the animals of commoners and extranei. The penalty for
failure to maintain the bars was twenty shillings, and every
dike reeve of Elm and Wisbeach south of the bank and of
Wells north of the bank had power to distrain those that failed
to appear for necessary service. It was provided also that the
' fronts ' (frunterd) should be kept sufficiently high. Any one
repairing his portion of the fen-dike might dig earth for this
purpose within a distance of ten perches outside the dike, but
the ten-perch space must begin at a distance of two perches
from the foot of the dike.

Certain general conclusions with regard to the management
of the waste may be drawn from the foregoing study of Fenland.

The most striking feature of the arrangements in the fen
country was the intercommoning of villages in the fen which
they surrounded or to which they were adjacent, in groups
whose composition was determined largely by geographical
position, but which also corresponded, in some cases at least,
with ancient administrative arrangements. Such intercom^
moning was the custom throughout the region, and the groups
everywhere were sharply defined and clearly differentiated
from one another. Even when in the records of the district
the waste is described as already divided and become the several
of the neighbouring vills, some reference is usually made to an
earlier use of the waste as common fen, preceding the partition
among the vills in which it lay. The vills claimed that their
right to intercommon in the fen had existed time out of mind,
and the inference seems clear that the origin of such arrange-
ments goes back to the early days of settlement. The partition
and appropriation of the fen, when mentioned in the records,
is sometimes referred to the twelfth or succeeding centuries :
sometimes the use of the fen in common by the vills continued
to a much later period.

1 , INTRODUCTION

Partition of he common, which caused necessarily the
obscuring of much ancient custom, was usually explained by
the lawyers of Bracton's day on the theory that the waste
was the lord's, that division among vills or groups of vills
was division among lordships, and that the waste up to the
time of division, or where still undivided, was held pro indiviso
by mutual consent or tolerance of the lordships concerned.
Examples of apparently peaceful division of the waste among
lordships by mutual consent can be found. More often, however,
the common use of the fen was the subject of dispute and the
division very far from amicable. The litigation that arose
from the attempts to settle claims to the waste was often deter-
mined by referring the question to the assize of novel disseisin
of common of pasture. The defendant, disturbed in his seisin
of common, claimed that the vill in which his tenement lay
intercommoned in the fen in question with other vills of the
group by which the waste was held pro indiviso, and had so
intercommoned time out of mind. Any urging of special grant
of common was impossible because it changed the nature of
the common claimed. In cases of replevin the plea was the
same. In cases begun by the writ of quo iure, 1 to recover exclu-
sive rights of pasture and turbary, the plaintiff desired to prevent
the defendant from commoning in a given waste, held sometimes
pro indiviso by vills in the plaintiff's lordship, on the ground
that the plaintiff exercised no corresponding right and made
no corresponding claim in the waste held pro indiviso by vills
in the lordship of the defendant. An excellent example of
pleading of this kind is the case between Spalding and William
de Albiniaco regarding common in the fen of the ' five vills '.
The plaintiff had also to state that the defendant owed him
no service by reason of which he might claim the right to
common.

A study of many of these cases makes it at once clear that
there was another factor besides lordship in disputes regarding
ancient common rights of this kind, a factor which it was wiser

nioners ' in the fen. Their importance is made evident in
different ways. Thus the lord of the vill often brought his
action in conjunction with the men of the vill against the lord
and men of a neighbouring vill. Again, stress is often laid on
the assent of the ' men of the intercommoning vills ' (homines
communicantium villatarum) or of the communarii, given both
to the perambulations for making the divise when partition
was to take place, and also to the regulations regarding the
common use of the undivided fen. Sometimes, too, the men
of the intercommoning vills used force to prevent enclosure
and appropriation of the fen by neighbouring lordships, acting
either in accordance with the will of their lord or more often
with apparent independence.

A very direct part was played by the men of the vill in
certain Ely villages where the freeholders received one-seventh
pf the profits from the averia extraneorum pastured in the fen,
the lord receiving the remainder of the payment. In the same
connexion, as pointing to a non-seignorial origin of the cust
of intercommoning, may perhaps be taken the uncertainty some-
times prevailing in later times regarding the proper placing
a given waste in vill or county or hamlet or parish ; 1
of the word vill, not manor, when the waste is saitf to lie in
several vills in multis aliis villis pro indiuiso ; also the fat
the vills of an intercommoning group are often in different lord-
ships, and again the identity which is sometimes suggested rather
obscurely between the group of intercommoning vills and
some administrative unit, especially the hundred. It is unfor-
tunate that the evidence on this last interesting point is slight,
but the cases of Wisbeach hundred, of Eight hundred fen, and
of Marshland should be considered, and also, although perhaps
pointing in a somewhat different direction, the probability
that the manors of the soke of Bolingbroke were in the begin-
ning sole commoners in the East fen. A further argument
in favour of an origin not based on a common lordship is found
in the close connexion or identity between groups of vills

Hi INTRODUCTION

claiming the right to intercommon in a given fen and groups
burdened with the defences of the fen against the waters,
the vills within such groups often, as has been said, belonging
to different lordships. It is not clear whether the grouping
for both intercommoning and duty of defence was the result
of administrative arrangements already existing, or whether
the intercommoning group was taken as naturally and con-
veniently the group for defence. Considering the evidence as
a whole, it seems fair to say that the part of the men of the
vill was clearly important, and that the claim of the lord to
control the pasture might most easily, in some cases at least,
be interpreted as a later growth over pre-existing communal
arrangements.

The ancient customary arrangements, consuetude patrie
which governed the use of the fen and salt marsh by the inter-
commoning vills, in so far as such arrangements are described
or suggested in the documents, may be divided into (1) those
that had to do with pasture and turbary, and (2) those
that were concerned with the protection of the district from
inundation.

Arrangements regarding pasture usually show the vills
divided into intrinsec and forinsec vills, into those, namely,
that exercised the right of common of pasture, ' horn under
horn,' l by ancient custom, without payment, and those that
pastured their beasts in restricted number usually, but some-
times in unrestricted number, for a definite rent, paid usually
in the time described in the record to the lord of the commoning
vills, but once at least in part to the commoners of such vills
also. The amount of pasture for the vills ' anciently ' com-
moning was unrestricted. It may have extended to common-
able animals only, but the number to be agisted was unlimited,
and also the season and the place. Every commoner had
pasture rights over the whole common, and at all seasons of the
year. Any enclosure for meadows or even, except under cer-
tain conditions, for turbary was resisted. As time passed,
however, and the idea of the rights of the lord developed,
limitations began to be put where possible on this unrestricted

and Abbrev. Plac. (1241), p. 109, for the use of this phrase.

pasture. Already in Bracton the vague restricting phrase
' quam liceat quam expediat ' is used with regard to the number
of beasts, 1 and as the waste was cut down by the assarts, and
agistment from extrinsec vills increased because it was a
source of revenue to the lord, a clearer definition of the rights
of commoners was necessarily evolved. The limitation was
the number of averia needed for the commoner's tillage, 2 the
beasts levant and couchant on his tenement, those, that is to
say, that he kept over the winter, a limitation which had
probably always existed in fact, since few would keep more
beasts than they could use for tillage. Sometimes the defini-
tion of commoners' rights resulted from the action of the
lord in surcharging and very definite restrictions resulted.
In this connexion the many cases in which reference is made
to royal legislation on the subject of common are of great
importance. 3

Ancient common of turbary, like common of pasture, was
based not on special grant or prescription, but on intercom-
moning of vills, and, like the pasture, was in the beginning
probably free from all restrictions as to time or place of taking
or amount taken or disposal of the turves. The phrase defining
the right runs : ' to cut, to dig, to burn, or to pare, at all times,
at will, to give, or to sell.' In time, with the clearer appreciation
of the value of the waste to the lord, restrictions appear. The
turbary is limited to turves taken for the commoners' own use ;
selling, at least to others than commoners, is forbidden or
questioned. The turf industry evidently became one of some
profit and was therefore liable to abuse. The forestallers and
braciatores in Westfen and Holland fen, for example, impover-
ished the wapentake of Skirbeck and Kirkstead by buying
three hundred turves for 45. and selling them for 10s. or 125.
Other restrictions are mentioned on the method of cutting and
taking the turves, and special provisions were made against the
taking of wood with the turves. A great deal of opposition was
sometimes shown on the part of intercommoners to the custom
evolved by the lords of appropriating to themselves and en-

liv INTRODUCTION

closing a section of the turf moor for the digging and drying
of their turves. This custom seems sometimes to have had its
origin in early days, and to have been capable of reasonable
interpretation by which it would not injure the rights of other
commoners. An interesting document in the Note Book l
describes R. as having a certain dominium in the moor whereby
no one can dig until he, R., has first chosen his place. Other
commoners then choose their enclosures, apparently in some
order of succession, and the seruientes see that no one digs
wrongly in the places so appropriated, but R. alone has the
additional dominium that no one can injure another in his
enclosure whereby seems to be meant that R. takes the fine
for breaches of the peace there. The size of such enclosures
was limited sometimes by spade diggings, the taking of any
unreasonable number of acres was questioned in a number
of cases, and ingress and egress for cattle after the removal of
the turves was insisted upon.

The common rights of vills in fishing and fowling are also
mentioned, but not clearly described. The common of fishing
in the waters near the vill was restricted by the individual
villager's right to fish in waters adjoining his own land.

The land within the village to which the right of common
pertained, the tenement of the communarius, is spoken of in
the records as the ancien terre, tut temps hide, hideland.~ It is,
in other words, the land anciently arable, the ancient strips
lying in the open fields. Bracton explains clearly 3 that to
tenements in assart no rights of common could pertain, since
the assart itself was originally subject to the common rights of
the vill. This kind of common, in other words, dates from the
early period and could not originate in later grant or pre-
scription. The later lawyers in their attempts at definition
and classification of common rights were forced to include such
ancient common under the head of common appendant or

perhaps sometimes common by vicinage ; but the later common
differs from the earlier in that common appendant was attached
to the several holdings, whereas the earlier was the intercom-
moning of all the commoners of a certain class, those holding
the ancien terre, within the vill, more or less as a communal
arrangement, and the commun pur cause de vicinage implied
distinct tolerance on the part of the lord with the option of
checking the custom. In other words, with the growth of lord-
ship over the waste, the ancient communal common rights
failed to fit exactly into the newer theories. The status of
the commoners, of the tenants of the ancien terre, also indicates
a change from earlier conditions. Sometimes the tenement of
the hide or fraction thereof is in the hands of a freeman whose
pleadings are in the king's court and therefore recorded ; the
case of the villein tenant of such land is more difficult to dis-
tinguish on account of the shadow of lordship over him, but
even so his rights were evidently of a similar nature to those
of the freeman. The mass of the commoners must have been
villeins. In Wisbeach the rights of common were attached to
certain special holdings in certain fields, and seem to have
borne some special relation to the duties of defence.

Ancient land measures in the fens show some peculiarities.
The dale or doyle or dole seem to have been commonly used
for pasture and meadow, the ' swathe ' sometimes for meadow
where divisions were made, and for turbary the ancient beschia
or digging. New turbary taken by the lord was measured by
the quarentena and perch. On one occasion a writ abated when
it claimed fenland in terms of bovates. 1

Very interesting and close parallels to common in the Fen-
land may be found in the customs regulating the use for pasture
and estovers of the great forest of Essex and of Dartmoor,
both of which districts have been recently and carefully
studied. 2 Especially interesting in the case of Dartmoor are

Ivi INTRODUCTION

the various groups of vills with different sorts of common
rights, those, for example, in ' Venville ' paying fines for pasture
' fines villarum pro pastura averiorum habenda '. From these
and many other cases it is quite clear that intercommoning on
a basis like that in fens, although with some local variations,
was the rule in great stretches of waste land elsewhere in
England.

In measures taken for defence against the waters of fen and
sea ancient local arrangements, the consuetude patrie, may also
be discerned, although less clearly than in the case of common
in pasture and turf moor. The maintenance of walls and sewers
and drains of all kinds was a matter of so great public impor-
tance, involving the ' salvation ' of so great a district, that
royal enactment was soon necessary to enforce and supplement
the action of ancient lordship and village, and such enactments,
often made at the petition of the men of the district endangered,
necessarily obscure somewhat the earlier custom. By the
beginning of the reign of Edward I, at least, special com-
missions were issued to special justices, superseding the earlier
commissions to sheriffs and itinerant justices and authorizing
the taking of inquests to fix the liability for the maintenance
of walls and sewers. 1 Probably the work of Henry de Bathonia,
justice in Henry Ill's reign, under whom were drawn up
provisions for the defence of Romney Marsh, had great in-
fluence in Fenland, although the 'custom of Romney Marsh'
was first applied in parts of the northern fens in the reign of
Richard II. 2 The royal commissions of Edward I under which
the early inquests were taken are of some interest. A writ
of 1295 3 inquires as to liability for the repairs of walls and dikes

Holland, with reference to a commission issued to itinerant justices in the reign of

in times past, and the resulting inquest regards the burden of
defence as incumbent on fees and vills, the vills being grouped
for the maintenance of certain sewers and walls in accordance
with the ancient grouping for intercommoning in certain fens.
Ancient liability for the defence of a given district lay, in other
woids and according to the verdict of the country-side, upon
the group of vills that participated in the use of the waste of
that district.

Later inquests, while keeping the old grouping of vills, are
more specific with regard to the incidence of the duty on tene-
ments within the vill or fee. All land is assessed, acre on a
par with acre, aliqua antiqua consuetudine non obstante ; 1 in
other words, the assessment was extended outside the anciently
arable land to include assarts from the waste once common
to all, to which, according to the law of Bracton's day, no right
of common pertained, and on which probably no obligation
of defence would lie, and a general standardization of tene-
ments took place ; rights of common of pasture or fishing
being in the end also included as a basis of assessment. For
these new ratings and assessments mensuraciones, like those
mentioned so often in the Spalding Register, were necessary
the measuring of all lands in a given vill whether anciently

Iviii INTRODUCTION

arable or ' offoldfal ', that is to say, assart. Such mensuraciones
go back to the days of Edward II. The reasons given for
making them are that lands once assessed for the repair of
many perticate of the walls are now distracte and in the hands
of extranei, and again, that many lands and tenements have
never before been assessed. 1 In later times the Black Death
also may have made necessary new assessments. 2 Terra men-
surata, as used in the Spalding Register, may apply to all land
newly assessed, or only to the assart land now brought under
assessment for the first time.

Evidence of ancient custom existing underneath the con-
ditions imposed by later enactments may be found, then,
especially in the grouping of the vills for dike duties in accor-
dance with their rights of common, and the implied original
exemption of the waste from public duties. Probably also
back of the custodes fossatorum of the ordinances may be dis-
cerned the ancient dike reeves or wallreves of the vills, having
supervision of dikes and drains, and over the imposition of the
ancient penalties and dykebots, bylawe, bisect, triscot, and
wopenny. Of the traditional and cruel punishment of immur-
ing the offender in the wall of the dike no trace has been found
in the documents examined. 3 Many customary regulations,
like those regarding the taking of earth for dikes, or the restric-
tions laid on the agistment of non-commonable animals near
the dikes, bear evidence of antiquity, and in this connexion
should be considered the description of the consuetude patrie
in Gosberchurch in the matter of land silted up by the sea.
Ancient customary regulations evidently formed an important
element in the law of sewers as administered in the later court.

CHAPTER III

ECONOMIC ARRANGEMENTS WITHIN FLEET AND
THE NEIGHBOURING VILLS

FLEET was a long, very narrow vill, extending from the sea
or the sea-sands on the north to the old Southee dike on the
south, a distance of eleven miles or more. 1 Adjacent to it on
the east and west and of generally similar shape were Gedney
and Holbeach. The village proper lay across the belt of higher
arable land that ran, between salt marsh and fen, east and
west from Spalding to Tydd. The Terrier regards the vill as
clearly divided into two geographical parts, the vill proper,
' in villa ', and the ' fen ends ' or the southern portion lying
versus mariscum. The vill proper on the high land north
of Ravensbank was much wider than the southern portion, and
had irregular rounded boundaries ; the ' fen end ' of the vill
was very long and narrow, with sides usually so straight along
the boundary drains and banks that they seem artificial, and
suggest an allotment to Fleet of its share of the fen abutting
on Ravensbank. The early intercommoning of the vills of
Ellowe wapentake in the fen lying south of them ' between the
waters of Tydd and Spalding ' is proven by several references to
a division among the lords of the vills, the participes, made in
the reign of John. 2 The allotment of the fen immediately south
of Ravensbank, however, may have occurred at an earlier date
since the half-bovate holdings of the werkmen of Fleet, the
typical bond tenements of anciently arable land, included
always, according to the statements of the Terrier which are

1 See Appendix, Map I.

- Rot. de Fin., p. 338, refers to a payment made by Thomas de Moulton in 1206
for having such seisin of the fen between the waters of Spalding and Tydd for
himself and his participes as they had before the king ordered that the fen be
divided. Cf. ibid., p. 357. See also Rot. Lilt. Glaus, p. 83 (1207) : ' Rex vie'

Ix INTRODUCTION

verified by a study of the map of Fleet, portions versus
mariscum amounting to about half of their total extent and
lying in strips south of the bank, while the half in villa lay
in strips north of it. Tenements of molemen in Fleet and some
' frelands ' seem also to have had their ' fen ends '. A late
Ely document 1 states that the waters lie against Southee
dike most of the winter, and again that ' these " fenn ends ",
between the Southee of the one part and Ravensdike from
Moulton mare unto Tydbrigge on the other part be so lowe
and deepe and because of the height of the lande betweene the
said Fennends and the sea whereupon they are yearly drowned '.
Similar divisions of villages into fen and vill portions occur
elsewhere, in Sutton and Wisbeach especially, and seem to
point to the early partition of some of the fen, and its approve-
ment and allotment among the villagers, traces of the custom
regulating the approvement and allotment sometimes remaining
to a later date.

The dividing line between the two parts of Fleet, Ravens-
dike or bank, sometimes called the Fendike, was an ancient
dike 2 running from Cowbit to Tydd St. Giles along the crest
of the land between sea and fen, the waters north of it in all
the vills of the district flowing slowly to the sea, the ' very
receptacle by God's ordinance of all waters ', 3 through channels
natural or artificial, like Quaplode gote, Weston gote, Sutton
gote, Flete gote, Holbeche lode, the waters south of it flowing
generally southward into Southee, from which they were
carried down to Wisbeach. The chief drain of the northern
part of Fleet, Flete gote, once probably forming the northern
boundary between Fleet and Holbeach, had its outfall at Fleet
haven, an arm of the sea which extended inland and gave to
Fleet a coastline and also its name, ' the place to which the
tide flows '. 4 Later, Fleet haven, like Byker haven, was filled
with silt and sand, and, the boundaries of Holbeach and
Gedney meeting, Fleet itself was cut off from the sea and
left with ' those sands growing daily which can never be removed,

3 Ely MSS., A 8, f. 113, gives the state of the fens about 1606 with some
suggestion that banks may prevent the waters from falling into the sea.

nor passage made through them which the tide will not destroy '.
Against the destructive overflow of the sea, Fleet and the
neighbouring vills were protected by great banks or dikes,
the fossaium maris or sea-bank. Two such banks are men-
tioned in the records of the region, the Old Sea-bank and the
New Sea-bank, the distinction between them, or rather the
exact location of the earlier bank, not being clear. The bank
or dike referred to in the Terrier as fossaium maris extended
in a great curve some miles north of Fleet Hergate, as indicated
on the map, and can still be followed for miles across flat fields
which give now no hint of the nearness of the sea.

Outside the fossatum maris lay great stretches of sand and
silt along the Flete gate or haven, partly within reach of the
tide, used by the men of the vill for their salt pits or pans
(saline), in which the salt water was evaporated. Salt-making
was a common industry of the coast villages of the region, and
there are frequent references to it in the Terrier and other
documents. The account in the Terrier implies much activity
in the sands extra fossatum maris, the villa bulliatorum. 1 The
central point was le Mothow, 2 called also the ' holy place ',
where bushels of salt from the salt pits of the three vills of
Fleet, Holbeach, and Gedney were brought to be marked, and
where a court was held by the lord of Fleet and rent and fines
collected. Le Mothow was near Hirnflete, 3 whose ' port ',
Fleet haven probably, the lord of Fleet held, although it per-
tained to the parish of Holbeach, collecting a penny from large
boats and a halfpenny from small boats on their first coming
each year. The lord of Fleet had also the right of pre-emption
(primas et meliores vendiciones et empciones) and a penny
for every twenty measures of salt sold by men of the three
vills. An account roll of Fleet of 1398 gives the perquisites of
' Metehough' cum port ' as 26s. 8d.* Every bondman of the lord
boiling extra villam bulliatorum paid the lord one measure called

Ixii INTRODUCTION

' overgongmiddas ' ; if he boiled infra villain bulliatorum, he paid
only one-half measure for every 'patella'.

The right of salt-making was evidently ancient. The typical
tenements of werkmen and molemen in the Terrier have attached
to them a 'hoga cum area', 1 from which is regularly paid to
the lord a measure of salt. The Red Book of Thorney adds a
little information. A salina is granted in Hirnflete with ingress
and egress, and digging of turves in the common extra hassock-
dike sufficient for the sustenance of the said salina. 2 Again,
the donor of an ' area ' promises warranty, and will defend the
area against sea and fen. 3 The custom of taking turbary
sufficient for the fuel of a salt-pan was probably commonly
recognized in the region. Fishing along the sea-sands was
important also, and there are several indications of a vigorous
life among the fishermen. Late in the reign of Edward III 4
a fishery super sabulam between Salteney and the fen of Hoi-
beach and Quaplode was sold, whereupon all the fishermen
of Moulton, Holbeach, and Quaplode objected, and disturbed
the purchasers so that they dared not fish. Again, it is stated
that whereas by ' law and ordinance ' the fishermen on the sand
should take their fish to the vills and ' fora ' of their lordships
to be sold, instead they illicitly sell their fish to extranei on
the sand.

Below the sea-bank was the old gate or gote, along which
lay the road from Spalding to Tydd, called by different names in
different places, 5 Spalding gate, Saltenay gate, and Fleet Her-

sea-bank lay five of the ' inlikes ' of Fleet, running north and
south, and separated from one another by gates or gotes, as
indicated on the map. 1 The inlikes were the divisions of the
arable of Fleet in which lay the intermixed strips of the tenants.
The word inlike occurs rarely elsewhere. In the records of
neighbouring manors it may have been transformed into the
Latin cultura or campus, but it is used once to designate a tene-
ment in Wisbeach. 2 The inlikes, or inliks, were of varying
size and shape, and along the drains or banks separating them
from one another ran the * ways ' of the village. There were
in all thirty-nine inlikes whose ancient boundaries are given
very definitely in the Terrier, so that their situation can be
determined wherever the boundary name has been retained.
The five inlikes to the north of Fleet Hergate are easy to identify
with some measure of certainty ; those south of Hergate,
between it and Ravensbank, the most important part of the
vill, are generally much more difficult to place on a modern
map. The Terrier shows that along Fleet Hergate were many
messuages and ' places ', while to the west, near the Holbeach
boundary, was the chapel of Wynstowe belonging to the
Hospitallers. From Hergate southward to Ravensbank ran
the ' ripa ', the great bank, which is perhaps to be identified
with the Eastgate and its continuation, along which on the
western side lay Fleet manor house and the church and village.
There were other dikes and gates running north and south
and east and west, the identification of which on the accom-
panying map has been only partly successful. In this section
of Fleet lay clearly the largest part of the arable land.

South of Ravensdike Fleet was crossed by three great dikes
running from east to west and continuing through the adjacent
vills, Lord's dike, Saturday dike, and Joyes dike. Along the
narrow southern boundary ran Southee, a great bank and
drain, forty feet wide and five feet deep, repaired on the south
by Peterborough and Thorney, on the north by Crowland and
the vills of South Holland. Its great importance to the pre-
servation of the country from floods was recognized. In all

the county, we are told, no bank is known to stand unbroken
but Southee bank and the old Podike in Marshland, and the
integrity of the bank is explained by the great care exercised
and the recognition of the danger resulting from a possible
breach, and also by the many rushes and reeds growing there,
and the silt formed between the breaking of the waters and
that bank. 1 The divisions of Fleet formed by these great banks
were cut by gates running north to south, on one of which was
the long common way traversing the vill from Hergate to
Southee. A similar common way is mentioned in the records
of Holbeach. 2 The identification of the inlikes in this section
of the vill is very easy. The east and west boundaries of the
vill are called the ' costere ' of Holbeach and of Gedney, along
which ran dikes or fossata. At the extreme south-western
corner along Southee was Flete Heudings, or Hevedinges; at
the south-eastern corner, Gedney Heudings. 3 Stretches of
undrained fen still stood in this southern part of the vill. Here
Thomas, son of Lambert de Multone, granted to free and bond
tenants of Fleet three hundred acres of fen pasture, lying
between Gedney and Holbeach from Lord's drove on the
south to Langereche on the north, for commonable animals,
saving to himself and his heirs turbary, imparkment, and the
rents of extrinsec cattle and sheep. 4 The southern portion
below this common was called le Newfen, and like the land in
the inlikes was divided into strips. The newer assart tenements
in the fen pertaining to bovates and quarters were called
' rynthynges '. 5 Various closes of the lord lay in the southern
part.

The dikes and drains that formed the boundaries of the
Fleet inlikes required careful supervision and management.
The extreme lengths of the greater dikes is given in the Terrier ; 6
there were also to be maintained the great gates or gotes running

north and south, and the smaller lodes, droves, ' gools ', and
drains of various sorts within the fields, in all of which, in ripis
fossatis et seweris, the men of the vill had fishing, each from his
own soil. The supervision and repair of these waterways was
probably in Fleet as elsewhere the work of special dike reeves.
It is disappointing, however, to find no reference to such officers
in the Terrier. Royal commissions of the later period, having
regard to the public danger which might result from the
negligence of one vill, required that such men be appointed,
two in every village, to see to the collection of fines for neglect
of duty, and to the proper repair of the dikes by ' meneworks ' ; 1
but in an earlier time it seems probable that men in the vills
must have had such work as their peculiar customary charge
required of them by their neighbours or by the lord. The
first office of the kind mentioned in Fleet records at Fleet is
the ' officium propositoris maris et marisci ' of a late document. 2
' Fengreyveman ' occurs much earlier, however, as a proper
name. 3

A valuable feature of the Fleet Terrier is the extreme pre-
cision with which the holdings of the tenants are enumerated
and their location in the thirty-nine inlikes of the village
indicated. The gates or gotes between which the inlikes lay
are named, and the succession of strips within the inlikes is
indicated by the order in which the names of the tenants are
entered 4 the names of all tenants in the Terrier itself, the
names of rent-paying tenants only in the Rental that follows.
The tenants are classified as free, molemen, werkmen, and
Mondaymen ; their lands as freelonds, molelonds, werklorids,
and Mondaylonds.

The usual tenement, called a werkland or werklond, of the
werkmen of Fleet was a half-bovate of land, the acreage of which,
as stated in the Terrier, was approximately from twenty-five to
thirty acres. There were in all seventeen or seventeen and a half
bovates held as werkland. Of these tenements two were quarteria,
two were of three quarters each, one was a bovate, and the rest
were half -bovates. Like the molelands and freelands, the

Ixvi INTRODUCTION

werklands had definite names, taken usually from earlier
tenants, by which they are always designated. The con-
servatism of the village with regard to bond tenements is shown
by the fact that, to a much greater degree than in the case of
molelands or freelands, these named werklands remained intact
either in the hands of the heir or heirs of the family from which
they took their name, in whose possession they had been perhaps
for generations, or else, sometimes, in the hands of one single
tenant belonging to another family. Of the werkland of
Galfridus Child, for example, about twenty-six acres remained
in the Child family, passing as a whole to Richard Child, and
forming the whole tenement of the latter except twenty perches
held by him in the Newfen and one acre elsewhere. The
werkland of Walter Fothyng was held by Reginald Fothyng ;
the werkland of Galfridus at Greene the Elder by Galfridus at
Greene. The half-bovate called Prattys, once probably belonging
to the Prat family, on the other hand, was held at the time of
the Terrier by the heirs of locey Baldeware ; the werkland of
Gilbertus Hird by the heirs of William Custaunce ; almost all
the werkland of Richard Fynch by Thomas son of Hugo Kyng.
Helwysia Laxman, a free tenant, held the bovate of Richard
Painter. In these last cases the werkland retained its name
and identity, even when it had passed intact to another
family ; it retained them still more markedly in the few
cases where it had been split up among diverse tenants of
different families where the greater part of the tenement was in
the hands of one tenant, but the rest was held by his ' parceners ',
men who bore no discoverable relation to him, except the
chance one of sharing a particular portion of a tenement lying
in a certain inlike. The splitting up of werklands among
parceners is, however, as has been said, much less marked than
that of molelands. A few of the werkmen of Fleet had begun
to build up large tenements, holding all of several werklands,
or more often being parceners in a number of werklands. Thus
John son of Wydo held in all some sixty-four acres including
much of the werkland of Walter Baldeware and Eche Baret.
Richard son of Gerard and the heirs of William Custaunce
also held large tenements.

The scattering of the werklands in the inlikes of Fleet is

ECONOMIC ARRANGEMENTS WITHIN FLEET Ixvii

another point of some interest and importance. A study of
the Terrier shows that no werkland lay all in one place, that
very few lay altogether in adjacent inlikes, that almost all
were scattered without any apparent system in a dozen or more
or less of the inlikes of the village. The size of the strip in
any one inlike was small, usually an acre or a fraction of an
acre ; but it is impossible to find any general uniformity in the
size of strips in any particular inlike, except in the case of the
most southern inlikes, those perhaps most recently assarted
from the fen, where usually, but not invariably, five-acre tene-
ments were held. The werkland of Richard son of Nigel, held
for the most part at the time of the survey by John Neel, is
a good example of the scattering of the strips in the inlikes,
and of the lack of uniformity in size. The werkland consisted of :

In addition to the werkland John Neel held land elsewhere.

The only guiding principle discernible in the scattering of
the strips of the werkland is a general division, mentioned in
the list of werklands given at the beginning of the Terrier and
confirmed by a study of the tenements in the inlikes, of the
werkland into two parts, the part in villa, and the part versus
mariscum. The strips versus mariscum, usually about half
the werkland, lay in the inlikes south of Ravensbank, the
strips in villa in the inlikes north of Ravensbank. Dis-

Ixviii INTRODUCTION

crepancies between the total acreage of the werkland as stated
in the list at the beginning of the Terrier, 1 and the sum gained
by adding together the actual tenements as they are described
in the various inlikes, may perhaps be partly explained by the
omission from the latter list of some small fen holdings like the
' rynt hynges ' of the molelands. The half-bovates of Hugo
Crosman and Reginald Fothyng work out correctly at the amount
given in the first list. The division in the list of the werkmen
into those of Estgate and those of Westgate may perhaps refer
to their messuages being situated near one or the other ' gate '.

Attached to the ancient tenements in Fleet were certain
rights. A hoga et area in which salt was made in the salt marsh
beyond the fossatum maris was attached to each half-bovate
or quarter of werkland, and a rent of a measure of salt paid
from it to the lord. As has been shown, the salt-making was
clearly under the lord's control at the time of the Terrier.
One communis hoga is mentioned, however, from which the
lord received no rent. It is curious that the names of werkmen
do not occur among those holding messuages and places in
Fleet and Fleet Hergate, but the omission may be explained
perhaps by the supposition that the werkmen of Fleet paid no
rent for their houses. Few werkmen had made assarts in the
Newfen, which lay in the southern part of the village along
Southee dike, and there is no trace in Fleet of assart rights and
customs like those to be described in some neighbouring manors.

The services of the half-bovate of werkland in 1316 con-
sisted of heavy week work three days a week throughout the
year, and from the Gules of August to Michaelmas every day in
every other week three boon days in autumn, and two in
the ploughing season, and carting. The characteristic services
of the vill resulting from the situation of Fleet, which are in-
cluded in the week work, were vallatio, the making of one-half
perch's length of wall, three feet thick and five feet high, and
fodicio, the digging of one perch's length of ditch, three feet
deep and five feet wide. Twenty-five sheaves de starro et
arundine, fen reeds, were furnished for thatching, and turves
were carted. When the werkmen in Estgate made a carting
service the werkmen in Westgate joined them, and such cart-

1 See f. 2 b, et seq.

ings were not counted among the week works, but were called
opera incerta. In like manner the werkmen of Estgate in their
turn aided the werkmen of Westgate. During the harvest,
moreover, the werkmen of Estgate and of Westgate performed
their full complement of week's work in alternate weeks, so
that one group was always working full time for the lord while
the other group was working the shorter measure of three
days. The customary rents from a half-bovate were 4d. for
* bredsilver ' and * stalage ' (Fleet had a yearly fair), two hens
' ad look ', that is to say, as a gift, at Christmas, for which
the werkmen received ' lookmete ' from the lord, auxilium,
merchet, ' and the like ', and in addition a penny for ward. A
fixed rent of 6d. was paid adfirmam. Quarters paid in proportion
to their size. A very curious document in the Terrier, a charter
of Richard of Flete, remits the payment of heriot to the widows
of Fleet. If, however, the widow remarried, the heir of the
first husband received half the tenement and paid the heriot. 1

Among the werkmen should be included the three Monday-
men mentioned in the Terrier. The Mondaylonds were rated
as equivalent to quarters ; the first lay in three inlikes, the
fourth, fifth, and the fifteenth mentioned in the Terrier, the
second in the seventeenth, the third in the fourteenth. The
services were boon services, and one day's work a week, on
Monday, from Michaelmas to the Gules of August ; two days,
Monday and Tuesday, from the Gules to Michaelmas.

The molelands or molelonds of Fleet were held usually in
quarters rather than in half-bovate holdings. There were in
all fourteen bovates and one half-quarter divided into six
bovate or half-bovate molelonds, and thirty two and one half-
quarters. Like the werklonds, the molelonds retained the name
of their traditional holders Paybonesquarter, Ranlotesquarter,
Staraldeslond, Wadesquarter, Batoursquarter and in the list
of molelonds at the beginning of the Terrier they are entered
under the name of one moleman tenant with his parceners (et
parcenarii sui). A study of the molelonds as they lay scattered
like the werklonds in the inlikes of the village discloses the fact
that they had become much more divided among various tenants
than the werklonds ; the tenant under whose name a molelond

1 See f. 9 b.

Ixx INTRODUCTION

is entered in the Terrier had often a very small tenement indeed,
and his parceners were many and various. There was no
steady grouping of parceners ; men holding in one molelond
in one combination, held in other molelonds in other combina-
tions, and often had tenements in werklonds as well as in mole-
londs. This process of subdivision of the molelond had gone
much further in some cases than in others. John son of Wydo
held all the six acres in the twenty-fifth inlik which made up
Paybonesquarter ; he had also, as has been shown, many other
holdings. John Pynder and John his son held Hevedesquarter ;
the sons of Hugo held almost all the quarter of Hugo, son of
Richard ; but such cases of consolidated holdings are rare.
The molelond of Hugo Atteboure presents some peculiarities ;
Galfridus Barcarius held four acres of it in the twenty -third inlik,
one and one-half acres in the twenty-seventh, one and one-half
acres in the thirty-fourth, three acres in the thirty-sixth, and
these holdings, ten acres in all, were exactly duplicated by those
of his only parcener, Richard Cryspyn. Both Galfridus and
Richard, however, had large and dissimilar tenements outside
the molelond in question. The usual molelond was divided
among many parceners, as has been stated, and it is occasionally
not even possible to find in the list of tenants of molelond given
later in the Terrier l the name of the tenant to whom the mole-
lond is ascribed in the list at the beginning. 2 Thus Simon
Gronde is not mentioned among the tenants of terra Brithmeri,
nor William Husband among the tenants of Hodidodisquarter,
nor Robert son of Gerard among the tenants of the half-bovate
of Walter Eluine. Good examples of the splitting up of mole-
londs are Gunnildeslond, in which the heirs of locey Baldeware
held two acres, and seven other tenants thirteen acres in various
inlikes, and Staraldeslond in which Richard Hounere held seven
and one-half acres, twenty perches, and more than a dozen
other tenants held fifty-five acres, Richard Hounere holding
also some twenty-three acres in other ancient molelonds. In
Wolwardesquarter Galfridus Wolward held three acres one rod,
and other parceners fifteen acres eight rods. It is easy to
make a mistake in dealing with a great number of tenants of

1 See f . 10, et seq. * See f. 2 b, el seq.

ECONOMIC ARRANGEMENTS WITHIN FLEET Ixxi
|

small tenements in many different inlikes, but the general
truth seems assured that the molelond was as a rule far from
being in the hands of one family. It had become greatly
divided.

It seems probable that there was originally a salina appendant
to every molelond, but the process of subdivision has in many
oases obscured this original arrangement, and the hoga et area
of the molelond is sometimes held by one who is not a parcener.
Thus the heirs of Thomas Neel, who do not appear elsewhere
as tenants in this molelond, held the hoga et area of Billesquar-
terium. They held also the hoga et area of Wadeshow, Cokes,
and Spornes quarters, of the quarter of Algar at Gote, and of
the lands of Galfridus son of Walter, Henry son of Walter,
Eche Baret, Walter at Sedik, Hugo, son of Richard, and of the
half-bovate of Peter Wolward. John Pynder held the hoga et
area of the quarter of Galfrey Gronde. In these cases it is
probable that the hoga et area of the original molelond had been
rented. A provision is made in the Terrier for the payment of
the salt rent by the moleman in the vill to whose land the hoga
was appendant in case of neglect by the tenant or of the flooding
of the saline extra fossatum maris. There is difficulty also in
finding the placea or messuage attached to a given molelond
in the list of messuages. Tenants of molelond are rarely men-
tioned ; perhaps, as is possible in the case of werkmen, they
were omitted because their houses paid no rent. Very few mole-
men had assart tenements in the Newfen ; the exceptions are
the heirs of Thomas Neel with three acres, Galfridus Barker
with one acre, and William Husband with three acres.

The services of the molemen differed from those of the werk-
men mainly in the omission of week work, and the inclusion of
a heavy rent based on the acreage of the tenement. Boon ser-
vices and cartings were rendered. A few variations in services
occurred ; Collesquarter dug every year two hundred loads
of turves (/other turbarum) counted by the long hundred, several
molelonds repaired ' gools ' for a day ; several molelonds, for
example Wadesquarter and Gunnildeslond, had probably com-
muted all their services. The typical molelond paid ' look '
hens, a penny for ward, and sometimes auxilium and 4 merche '
(merchet), but by far the heaviest burden was the rent, usually

Ixxii INTRODUCTION

of I2d. an acre for every acre of the holding. Wadesquarter
paid at as high a rate as 21d. an acre ; Batoursquarter paid at
varying rates according to the situation of the strips ; Grondes-
quarter paid only 6d. an acre, but in addition heavier services
than the ordinary molelond. In the vast majority of cases,
however, molelond was paid for at the rate of I2d. an acre.

The freelands or frelonds of the village amounted in all to
sixteen bovates and two quarters, held more often in quarters
than in half-bovates, and called, like the molelonds and werk-
londs, by the name of the ancient tenant Alkacesquarter,
Bretlondquarter, Dodesquarter, Kentonsquarter, Kauerels-
quarter, and the like. The acreage of the free holdings was very
irregular, varying from the three hundred and twenty-eight acres
in the two bovates of the heirs of Edmund de Holme, and the
eighty odd acres of Lord Humphrey de Littlebery's bovate, 1 to
a more normal thirty to forty acres in other cases. The rent of
the free bovate, moreover, was not, as in the case of the molelond,
assessed on every acre, at a fixed rate, but was paid by the bovate
or quarter as a whole, and varied in amount from freeland to
freeland, reaching a total of between 8 and 9. Even more
completely than in the case of the molelond, the free half-bovates
and quarters were split up among parceners ; a freeland in
larger part still in the hand of one person is rare. In Clotes-
land William son of Hugo Clerk held nine out of twelve acres,
Roger Laxman held ten out of fifteen acres in Philippesquarter,
and William son of Richard Hode held most of Alkaces-
quarter, but these are exceptions. As a rule, the tenement was
divided among very many small tenants, as, for example,
in the cases of Genesbovate, Cokesquarter, and the quarter
of Galfridus Maletere. The persona held twenty-seven and
one-half of the forty acres of the Bovata Persone, the remaining
twelve and one-half acres were divided among other tenants.
Sometimes a werklond had come into the hands of a free tenant ;
thus Henry de Moltone and Thomas Laxman held the werklond
of Algar Gilbert, and Helwysa Laxman held the werklond of
Richard Painter. Like the molelonds and werklonds, the fre-

1 These large bovates were not, probably, the result of assarting, for the
tenements of which they were composed were much scattered. They were more
probably the result of some beneficial assessment.

ECONOMIC, ARRANGEMENTS WITHIN FLEET Ixxiii

londs were scattered without system in the various inlikes of
the village. Some free tenants had large holdings, the two
bovates of Edmund de Holme's heirs in Smythescroft, for
example, the eighty odd acres of Ralph son of Richard, the
seventy-seven acres of Roger Creyk. To some freelonds hoge
et aree were appendant, paying a salt rent of one measure for
every acre of the tenement. A few free tenants had * places ' or
messuage, in Fleet or Fleet Hergate ; Laurence of Holbeche, for
example, had three places ; Ralph son of Richard had one
cottage; Richard de Blitone six acres where his messuage
was. Many names of free tenants, however, are not mentioned
in the list of those that held messuages, while, on the other
hand, there are many with places and messuages in the village
whose names do not occur among the tenants of arable land
in the inlikes. Possibly holders of ancient tenements, of what-
ever kind, paid no rent for their houses, and so were not
included. Very few free tenants held assart land in the New
fen ; Roger Creyk with ten acres is an exception.

Free tenants paid rent and ward. The only services exacted
from them were probably labour on the fossatum marls and
fossatum marisci, one-half perch to a quarter, one perch to
a half-bovate. The Nelys half-bovate maintained one perch
of Newedike and one perch of Saturdaydike.

The demesne land of the lord lay in eighteen of the thirty-
nine inlikes of the village, and amounted at the time of the
Terrier to something over one thousand acres. As described in
the assignment of dower to Margaret, widow of Thomas son of
Lambert de Multone, in 1294, 1 it amounted to little more than
seven hundred and twenty acres. The demesne in 1316 consisted
of various closes, the largest among them being one hundred
acres in the close subtus louerdesdike, a great wood covering
two hundred and forty acres called Fletewode in the thirty-
sixth inlike mentioned in the Terrier, and seventy acres in
Muxeflet. There were also various holdings of some size, appa-
rently contiguous, in the inlikes ; for example, forty acres in
' le inlike ' before the east gate of the manor, forty acres within
the precinct of the manor in the sixteenth inlike, and twenty -

1 See I. P. M., C. Edw. I, File 69 (7) and CaL Close Rolls, 1288-96, p. 398, et seq.

Ixxiv INTRODUCTION

four acres subius precinctum, thirty-five acres in Radwelescroft
in the twentieth inlike, forty-seven acres in Westneulond in the
seventh inlike, and thirty-seven acres in Wylupark in the
thirty-sixth inlike. Besides larger holdings such as these,
there were a number of small tenements in the inlikes belonging
to the named bovates of the tenants, which had fallen into the
lord's hand. The general impression given by the Terrier is
that the lord's land lay in large blocks or closes in the
inlikes. The lord held also several hoge of the village whose
rent normally amounted to nine and one-half measures, two
bushels one peck of salt, and the ' place ' of Philip Carpenter.

Certain lands in Fleet were held by the Church. The Hospi-
tallers had a chapel in Wynstowe and six acres on which the
chapel stood, a member of their house of Skirbeck. 1 Wynstowe-
land belonged to the chapel and included twenty-two acres. The
churches of Spalding, Thorney, Crowland, Swineshead, Laund,
Marrick, and Saint Katherine outside Lincoln also held tene-
ments in the village, and the Prior of Castleacre held two-thirds
of the church of Fleet in tithes. 2

The most important evidence for the method of manage-
ment and arrangements within the manors near Fleet, situated
on the belt of arable extending from Spalding to Tydd, is to be
found in the great Register of Spalding Priory. The Priory in
addition to its lands in Spalding held manors in Moulton, Weston,
and Sutton, and tenements in Holbeach. It is clear from a
study of the custumals and charters in the Register that the
geographical features and management of fen and arable corre-
sponded closely with those of Fleet. Of intercommoning of the
vills in the fen of Ellowe wapentake there is no evidence
because, as has been stated, the fen was partitioned among the
vills at an early date. It has been shown, however, that Spalding
retained very important rights of intercommoning with the
vills of other lordships in the fen lying to the north and west.
The management of the fen within the boundaries of each
individual vill of Ellowe wapentake, and common to the men
of that vill, is of some interest. Sometimes stretches of such
fen were common to certain groups of men within the vill.

ECONOMIC ARRANGEMENTS WITHIN FLEET Ixxv

In Moulton, for example, there was held in common pro indiviso
by the villeins of the prior and by one other person a fen which
abutted on Fleterowt sewer and the drove of Holbeach, lying
laterally along the old sea-bank. 1 This common in Moulton
should probably be compared with the special rights of common
belonging to seven carucates in Surfleet. 2 Common in a portion
of the fen of Fleet was granted by Thomas de Moulton to the
freemen and villeins of Fleet. 3 Much more information is
given in the Spalding Register regarding the approvement of
fen land. Land assarted from the fen is called ' offoldfal ', 4
a term not used in Fleet itself, but found frequently in docu-
ments relating to the manor of Holbeach, which was adjacent
to Fleet. 5 Offoldfal is defined in a marginal note in late hand-
writing as follows : ' I think this is increase of grounde frome
the sea, or enclosed from the fen and divided proportionally
to the freeholders.' 6 The offoldfal land was at the time of
the survey terra mensurata, the perch of eighteen, twenty,
or twenty-one feet being used. It sometimes became terra
arabilis 7 and might have appurtenant messuages and salt pits.
Being assart from ancient common it was probably originally
free, like other ancient common, from duties of defence against
sea and fen waters ; later, however, it often became burdened
with such duties, either by special agreement or by some new
mensuracio of the lands of a vill, the object of which was to
assure a more just assessment of public duties. The earlier
of such mensuraciones probably did not change the ancient
assessment made on the older tenements, but added the approve-
ments as supplementary. In later times, however, royal com-
missions declared that ' decay or change ' in ancient tenements
on which dike duties and comunia ville were incumbent had
taken place, and that therefore every acre in a vill should be
equal to every other acre, 8 regardless of whether it were offoldfal
or anciently arable. The terra mensurata is recorded in acres,

stongs, and perches, the perch being of varying but stated
length, the stong being equal to forty perches, and the acre
to four stongs. 1 In Sutton, as in Tydd, assarted land was
called novum conquestum, the vill being divided into terra de
conquestu, terra ville, and terra nativa. 2 Gerard de Camville,
lord of the vill in King John's reign, granted to his men of
Sutton and Lutton their customary assarts, namely two-thirds
of all conquest of sea or fen, without increase of rent or service,
he himself reserving the remaining one-third. 3 In the marsh
along the sea salt-making was usual in all the Spalding vills.
A grant of a salina shows some variations from the grants of
hoge et aree of Fleet ; it conveys ' totam aream cum salina et
hoftede ad illam pertinente'. 4 The 'hofstede'. perhaps a
4 hoga ', occurs again in the place-name Hoddilhof stede. The
centre of salt-making in the region was, clearly, Fleet Motstowe
with its jurisdiction over the salt-pans of Gedney and Holbeach.
The typical tenements in the arable of the Spalding villages,
like those of Fleet, were measured by bovates or half-bovates or
quarter-bovates, called by their ancient names Fuler bovate, or
Geri bovate, for example 5 and, however divided, still regarded
as a unit for the rendering of services and rent to the lord and
duties on dikes and sewers. 6 To them probably once pertained
corresponding rights of common. 7 Public duties on the banks
of the sea and fen, on sewers and gutters and in omnibus aliis
ville comuniis were performed by free and bond tenants as part
of the ancient obligation resting on the land. 8 Newer mensura-
ciones, as has been said, sometimes changed the incidence of
the duty, apportioning the maintenance of a certain number of
perches on dike or sewer in accordance with the acreage of the
tenement. In 1256 the service on dikes and sewers was still
considered as incumbent on the fee ; 9 in 1294, on the other
hand, the whole vill was assessed by the number of acres
pro quantitate tenure cuiuslibet, all ancient privilege and custom

to the contrary being disregarded. 1 In 1324 dike service was
assessed, as was usual in later times, ' siue per numerum acrarum
siue per carucatas pro rata porcione tenure sue seu pro quantitate
tenure seu pro quantitate commune pasture vel piscarie '. 2
The service performed, as has been explained, was called ' mene
work ' ' tarn in viis seweris quam in mariscis ', ten acres with
a messuage finding a ' tumbrel ' or 4dL, a smaller tenement
finding a workman or 2d. 3

The tenants living in the Spalding villages near Fleet were
classified as free, sokemen, and bondmen. Their tenements
were usually full bovates or half-bovates. In Spalding a full
terra operaria contained forty acres, the holding of a mediiis
operarius contained twenty-six acres and defended itself as
a half-bovate. 4 The bondi performed regular week work and
boon work and paid merchet, leirwite, scoreyeld, plough-
money, wodef other, and in Moulton ' auxilium de Beltisford '. 5
The sokemen of Spalding performed three days' ploughing ,
service, three days' reaping service, carried three cartloads of
' ros ' and three cartloads of ' binding ', two kinds of rushes or
fen grass, paid 7d. for the hearth, 28d. for every plough, and
were restricted in buying or selling land and in pleading the
king's writ 'de sokagio' without permission. 6

In Gedney, a lay manor adjacent to Fleet on the east, bond
tenants were called werkmen and molemen, as in Fleet the
economic status of the molemen resembling that of the sokemen
of the Spalding manors. In 1294 the werkmen of Gedney
still rendered some 2,264 regular week works, and the mole-
men 606 autumn works. 7 The value of acres depended, as in
Fleet, on the danger of ' drowning '. The chief interest of
Sutton, beyond Gedney, lay, as has been shown, in the large
amount of land there assarted from the fen. Documents

Ixxviii INTRODUCTION

St. Giles, give interesting information regarding the method of
approvement. An early assize roll x states that the fen had
been divided among the participes of the vill ; the Ely records
state of the tenants : ' Isti et omnes participes eorum supradicti
possunt et debent capere versus mare et mariscum sine in-
cremento redditus. Et si mesuagium alicuius vel aliqua par-
ticula sicce terre perierit per mare nichilo minus plenarie
respondebunt de redditibus et consuetudinibus.' 2 Again, the
right to take land versus mare et mariscum without increase of
rent is given among the appurtenances of a virgate holding. 3
Parallel cases of unrestricted assarting occur in several fen
villages in other localities. Thus in Blibury the assize was held
to see if the Master of the Templars had been disseised of his
common pasture. 4 The verdict was that no disseisin had been
committed, because it was 4 mos et consuetude ab antique ' in
that vill that the men of the vill in every other year by common
assent of those having land in campo illo could make their
innamyas and sow the said innamyas with ' fabis et pisis et
vescis et commodum suum inde facere '. Again, ' dicunt quod
homines predicte ville a tempore quo non extat memoria
potuerunt facere innamas et sic fecerunt '. A still more in-
teresting arrangement is found in Laughton, where the amount
to be approved is assigned to the villager by the communitas
ville on the basis of his right of common. 5 The impression
gained from such passages is that the communitas ville had
a very real part in the approvement of the waste, and that
the individual villager in assarting was restricted in the main by
ancient custom and the action of the community. The influ-
ence of the lord may have been great, however, in the actual
regulation of the assart. In the assignment of meadow land
in Oversby, 6 where there were two lords of fees, the messor of
each lord received three swathes of meadow, and this by ancient
ordinance, by the common consent of the lords, the free tenants,
and the vill secundum legem predicte ville '. Old land recovered
by the action of the sea sometimes became the lord's. 7

ECONOMIC ARRANGEMENTS WITHIN FLEET Ixxix

The terminology applied to assarts differed in different dis-
tricts and on different fees. Offoldfal occurred only in Spalding
villages ; ' innames ' or 4 innomes ' are more common, 1 and
1 chevacie ' occasionally appear. 2 In Fleet ' rynt hynges '
occur. 3 Ancient fen meadows or pastures were measured most
often probably by the dale or dole, a dale being clearly used
sometimes as a measure and sometimes as the ending of a place-
name. ' Dayles ' in the fen are mentioned in an early assize roll, 4
half a dale in Ninemandale in Wisbeach custumals, 5 dales and
doles in extents of March, 6 with which may be compared the Fleet
dole of the Thorney records, 7 and the Lordisdole in the Spalding
extent of Sibsey. 8 ' Hulmes ' and fractions of hulmes are also
found in fen villages, 9 and the term bovate, as has been said, was
usually reserved for land anciently arable. 10

The group of Ely vills in Wisbeach hundred, including Tydd
St. Giles lying near the south-eastern end of Fleet, intercom-
moned, as has been shown, in the fen of the hundred, and was
also responsible for the maintenance of dikes and sewers along
the course of the lower Nene and at the outlet of Southee and
the other waters draining south-eastward into the Nene. Wis-
beach itself, the chief village of the hundred, was at once a
vill, a manor, a barton, and a castle ; many rolls relating to
its court and the castle are preserved at Ely among the epis-
copal records. Full custumals of Wisbeach and the other
vills of the hundred occur also in the three Ely surveys in
the British Museum. 11 The information there given concern-
ing pasture and the repair of dikes has been discussed already,
but some light is thrown also on the arrangements within the
vills. 12 Within each vill of the hundred the draining of the

Ixxx INTRODUCTION

arable was effected, as in Fleet, by a system of sewers. Wis-
beach, like Fleet, was divided into a Fenhende and a Town-
hende. 1 The arable lands of the vills lay in campi, probably
corresponding with the Fleet inlikes, each field being named
Guyhirn field, Sayersfeld, Briggefeld and separated from the
fields adjacent to it by crests. The maintenance of a ' cresta '
four feet high and eight feet wide according to a late pro-
vision was incumbent on the tenants in the fields protected
by it. The classification of tenants also suggests that of Fleet.
Customary tenants were of three kinds : hamstallers, twenty-
eight in Wisbeach, sixty in Leverington, fifty-eight in Tydd
St. Giles ; werkmen, or holders of werklond ; and the lesser men,
anilepimen and cottagers. The services of the hamstallarii,
boon work but no week work, resembled those of the molemen
of Fleet and the sokemen of Spalding manors. The werklonds
rendered week work. Curious pasture rents were paid in the
vills of the hundred, grippure, bosing, shepestake, restling,
grippelyng. 2 Rents from vills in the hundred and fixed rents
from tenants within the vills went generally to the castle of
Wisbeach, to which, too, customary tenants in the vills were
said to be appurtenant. 3 The castle held seven hundred acres
in Walterseefen, but gained little profit therefrom, for all the
proceeds were expended in the maintenance of the Waltersee-
dike. 4 The turbary and estovers in the fen in Edward Ill's
reign were evidently insufficient for the maintenance of the
castle, and large purchases, in one instance of as many as thirty-
six thousand turves, had to be made from the adjoining vills of
the Norfolk Marshland. 5

Less detailed evidence of the same general character is avail-
able for other Ely vills in fenland in the neighbourhood of Fleet.
Rights of common and dike duties and the profits of the turbary
are described. In Terrington in Norfolk there were important salt
works, paying rent to Ely in bledes, wayes, and gates of salt. 6

In Wells were very many fisheries assigned by nights or
fractions of nights. 1 Littleport was a centre for the cutting
and selling of rushes, as has been stated. In general the impres-
sion gained from the study of fenland is of the importance of
pasture rights and the means of defending them against the
sea, and of a certain conservatism in retaining the old labour
economy and customs, a conservatism which may have resulted
in part from the great preponderance of church land in the
region, but which was probably also in part due to the re-
moteness of the manors, and their inaccessibility in the ' vast
and deep fens ' by which they were often surrounded.

NOTE ON THE MANUSCRIPT OF THE TERRIER AND
THE PEDIGREE OF THOMAS DE MULTONE

THE manuscript conveniently called the Fleet Terrier, pre-
served in the British Museum, 2 contains a Terrier of the vill
of Fleet in Lincolnshire (ff. 1-40), miscellaneous charters and
documents relating to the lands of Thomas de Multone, lord
of Fleet (ff. 40-57), a repetition of part of the Terrier (ff. 57-8),
and a Rental in which are given again separately those tene-
ments from which a rent was paid (ff. 59-74). The Terrier
was made in the ninth year of Edward II's reign, the Rental
in the tenth year, both in the time of Thomas, son of Thomas
de Multone. The pedigree of the family of de Multone, which
held extensive lands in Cumberland besides its Lincolnshire
fees, is confusing, largely because of the constant repetition of
the name Thomas. Two branches of the family, members of
both of which are mentioned in the Terrier, had their beginning
from the two marriages of a certain Thomas de Multone who died
in 1240 a man of some reputation in his day, sheriff, forester,
itinerant justice, justice at Westminster. ' In his youth he was a
stout soldier, afterwards very wealthy and learned in the laws ;
but overmuch coveting to enlarge his possessions, which lay
contiguous to those of the monks of Crowland, he did them

great wrong in many respects.' 1 Becoming guardian of the
two daughters of Richard de Lucy, he married one of them,
Alice, to his younger son Alan ; the other, Amabel, to his elder
son Lambert; and later, on the death of his first wife, the
daughter of Richard of Flete, he himself married Ada de Mor-
ville, the widow of Richard de Lucy. 2 By these marriages
the lands of de Lucy in Cumberland were well secured, and
were added to the lands in Ellowe wapentake, south Lincoln-
shire, already held by Thomas de Multone and his family. The
descendants of Thomas by his first wife were Lambert and Alan.
Alan's son was Thomas, who took the name de Lucy from his
mother and was thereby distinguished from other members of
the family. Lambert, who held the barony of Egremont in Cum-
berland through his wife, and who inherited the de Multone
lands in Lincolnshire, lying especially in Fleet, Moulton, and
Sutton, died in 1247, 3 and left a son and heir, the Thomas,
son of Lambert, so often mentioned in the Terrier. An assign-
ment of dower was made in 1294 to Margaret, the widow of
Thomas, which contains interesting and full extents of Fleet
and Egremont. 4 It seems probable that Thomas ' the Younger ',
the son of Thomas son of Lambert, died in 1287, 5 before his father,
and sometime after the death of his wife Edmunda, who had been
endowed before her marriage with the manor of Beau Solace
in Lincolnshire by her prospective father-in-law, Thomas de
Multone the Elder. If so, he was survived by a son, Thomas
aged eleven in 1287, grandson and heir (nepos et heres) of Thomas

son of Lambert, who did homage to the king on attaining his
majority in 1296. 1 This Thomas, claimant of the Albemarle fee,
died in 1322 seised of a large number of fees, including the barony
of Egremont and the lands in Lincolnshire. 2 During his lifetime
some obscure transaction occurred which affected Fleet. A
fine of 1311 3 shows that one-third of Fleet and the manor of
Multone, which had been given de dono by Thomas to Everard
of Flete, his seneschal, are returned by Everard to Thomas
and his wife Eleanor. In 1322 4 Thomas was succeeded by his
son John, who married Amabel, daughter of Laurence of
Holbeche, 5 and died in 1335 6 without issue. His lands
descended to his three sisters Joan, late the wife of Robert
son of Walter ; Elizabeth, the wife of Robert de Haryngton ;
and Margaret, the wife of Thomas de Lucy, a descendant of
Alan de Multone as co-heirs, the pourparty of each in Fleet
and elsewhere being described in the Inquest. It may be
that the difficult marginal notes in the early part of the Terrier
refer to this division, assigning the tenements so headed to
one of the three lordships.

Ixxxiv INTRODUCTION

The second branch of the de Multone family descended from
the marriage of Thomas de Multone and Ada, the widow of
Richard de Lucy. Thomas de Multone, the son of Thomas
and Ada, held Gillesland in Cumberland, through his marriage
with Matilda de Vaux. Other lands in Lincolnshire, especially
a fee in Holbeach, he received from his father. 1 He died in
1271 and was succeeded by a son, Thomas, who was the heir
of Helwsia de Levynton in a moiety of the ancient barony of
Burgh by Sands. 2 He died in 1293 3 and was succeeded by
another Thomas, 4 a minor in the king's ward until 1303, who
died in 1314, leaving a brother, William, who died without
issue, and a daughter, Margaret, married to Ranulph Dacre. 5

The lands of the Egremont branch of the family were exten-
sive, including, besides the Lincolnshire fees, the wild moun-
tainous region called Coupland in Ennerdale, Eskdale, and
Wastdale in Cumberland. 6 Coupland had been given by
Henry I to William Meschin, from whom it descended to
Richard de Lucy. 7 A transcript of the custumal of Egremont
drawn up in the time of Richard de Lucy is included in the
Terrier, 8 together with numerous other documents relating to
the Cumberland possessions. The lands of the Gillesland
branch of the family included fees in Cumberland and Lincoln-
shire held of the Egremont branch, and the barony of Gilles-
land, created by Henry II from the lands once taken from
Gille, son of Bret, and given by the king in 1158 to Hubert
de Vaux, father of Matilda. 9 The inquisitions post-mortem
give full descriptions of the lands held by the de Multone
family.

The manuscript of the so-called Terrier of Fleet as we have
it is probably the result of the careless binding together of
several parts. The Terrier itself, with the charters and miscel-

laneous documents accompanying it, is contained in the first
fifty-six folios. At the fifty-seventh folio begins a repetition
of a part of folio thirty-seven, which continues to the middle of
a list of salt rents and then stops abruptly. With the fifty-
ninth folio begins the Rental, which is followed by a very few
miscellaneous documents. A mention of ' the other book '
in the Terrier 1 evidently refers to the Rental, and a mention
in the Rental of 'the red book' 2 evidently refers to the Terrier.
There are some hints as to the date of the compilation of the
manuscript : thus the charter of Richard I to Spalding, wrongly
ascribed by the careless scribe to King Henry, inserts * et
Francie ' among the king's titles. 3 The latest document included
in the Terrier seems to be the charter of 1320. 4

1 The bracketed portions are very faint. There is a heading written on the
covering of the MS. which is apparently a copy of this, the first ( Edwardi '
being written over a deleted ' Ricardi ' and the date 9 Edward ij being added in
brackets. The fact that this very late version of the heading reads ' domini
Thome filii Thome filii Lamberti ' does not necessarily disprove the statement
made in the introduction that the Thomas in whose time the Terrier was made
was probably the grandson of Thomas son of Lambert. The original may have
had ' heredis ' or ' nepotis ' instead of the first ' filii '. Compare fol. 44.

8 The MS. may have ' de domino' or ' de dominio'.

1 See Cal. I. P. M. vi. No. 277. John de Multone married his second
daughter.

2 There is some question about the extension of the various contractions for
' heres ' and ' heredes '. In over thirty cases the scribe seems to use the singular
or plural form indiscriminately for the same family, and it seems probable,
therefore, that ' heredes ' is the correct form throughout the Terrier. For the
sake of accuracy, however, the form ' her' ' has been left in those cases in which
the full form ' heredes' does not occur at least once in the MS.

2 These services should be compared with those of Walterus de Gutera, fol. 42,
from which they differ somewhat. The tenements of Hugo Crosman in the inliks
were as follows : \\ acres in the sixth inlik, 2 acres in the eighth, 4| acres in
the ninth, 6 acres in the twenty-fourth, making a total of 14 acres above Ravens-
bank. Below Ravensbank 2 acres lay in the thirty-second inlik, 2 acres in the
thirty-fourth, 1 acre in the thirty-fourth, 1 acre in the thirty-fifth, 3 acres in the
thirty-sixth, 5 acres in the thirty-seventh, making a total of 14 acres. The acres
as described in the inliks do not usually correspond so exactly with the numbers
given in this list, perhaps because they are sometimes entered under the names of
other parceners.

2 The manuscript has ( Henricus ', but evidently in mistake for ' Ricardus ,
which is correctly written in the copy in the Spalding Register, Harl. MSS. 742,
fol. 9. The Fleet version is full of mistakes. For John's confirmation of this
charter see Rot. Chart. , p. 55 ; for another confirmation of lands granted to Spald-

seems improbable.

1 See Introduction, p. Ixxxii, Thomas, son of Lambert, died in 1294 ; the
homage of his grandson Thomas was taken on May 12, 1296, for two-thirds of
the lands and tenements of his grandfather. The accounts run, therefore, from
October 29 of the 22nd year (1 294) to September 29, 1295, and from September 29,
1295, to May 12, 1296. Dower was assigned to Margaret, the widow of Thomas,
son of Lambert, on June 22 in Fleet, and on June 30, 1294, in Egremond ; see

sonam de Frothingham de communa pasture sue in Santone que pertinet
ad liberum tenementum suum in Frothingham et Brunneby infra sum' 2 etc.
Et unde queritur quod cum ipse semper solebat communare in predicta
pastura cum omnimodis aueriis suis ut pertinente ad terram suam quam
habet in Frothingham et Brunneby ipsi excluserunt eum de predicta
pastura etc.

Eadem assisa per eosdem venit recognitura 3 si predicti Prior et Priorissa
et omnes alii predicti iniuste etc. leuauerunt quoddam fossatum in Santone
ad nocumentum liberi tenementi predicti Rogeri in predictis villis de
Frothingham et Brunneby infra sum' etc. Et unde queritur quod ipsi
leuauerunt predictum fossatum quod continet in longitudine circiter unam
leucam et in latitudine decem pedes ita quod per fossatum illud excluditur
quominus potest venire ad predictam pasturam et habere chaciam suam
cum aueriis suis ad pasturam ilium.

Et Prior Priorissa et alii veniunt et dicunt quod predictus Rogerus nullam
communam habere debet in Santone pertinentem ad liberum tenementum
suum in Frothingham et Brunneby nee aliqua communa pasture in Santone
pertinet ad predictas villas de Frothingham et Brunneby quia dicunt quod
tempore Reginald! quondam comitis Bolon' solebant homines de predictis
villis de Frothingham et Brunneby et similiter homines de Santone com-
munare cum aueriis suis in pasturis suis scilicet Orn cum Horn. Ita quod
quedam perambulacio facta fuit inter terras de Santone et de Frothingham
et Brunneby et per assensum dominorum predictarum villarum facta fuit
quedam diuisa inter predictas villas. Ita quod quelibet eorum sciuit certam
partem suam et tune fuit ibi quoddam fossatum factum quod separauit
pasturas predictas et post tempus iliud dicunt quod nunquam commu-
nauerunt predicti homines de Frothingham et de Brunneby in pastura de

Santone nisi de permissione dominorum de Santone uel per eskapium et
bene dicunt quod predictus Rogerus nunquam postquarn habuit ecclesiam
de Frothingham communauit in predicta pastura de Santone nisi de per-
missione et gracia.

luratores dicunt quod reuera tempore predicti comitis Reginald! facta
fuit quedam perambulacio inter terras predictas de consensu parcium et
per perambulacionem illam facta fuit quedam dyuisa inter terras predictas
ita quod quelibet villa sciuit certam porcionem et partem suam sed cito
post homines predicti comitis intrauerunt cum aueriis suis et pasturam
illam de Santon pauerunt et semper postea usi sunt predicti homines de
predictis villis de Frothingham et Brunneby pastura predicta sed non sine
contencione quia sepius contigit quod inter partes ob pasturam illam lites
orte fuerunt quod aliquando fuit aliquis ibi occisus. Et unde dicunt quod
predicti Prior et omnes alii disseisiuerunt predictum Rogerum de predicta
communa iniuste etc. sicut breue dicit. Et ideo consideratum est quod
Rogerus recuperauerit seisinam suam et fossatum illud prosternatur per
visum iuratorum. Et Prior et alii in misericordia et post venit predictus
Rogerus et queritur quod predicti Prior et alii ceperunt aueria sua in
predicta pastura et sicut seisinam suam perturbauerunt. Et unde dicit
quod ceperunt aueria sua in Estker. Et Prior et alii dicunt quod non
ceperunt aueria sua in aliqua pastura sed in pratis suis falkabilibus. Et
iurati supradicti dicunt quod totus locus ille qui uocatur Estker est pratum
ipsorum Prioris et aliorum et quod predictus Rogerus non posuit locum
ilium in visu suo quando de supradicta communa conquestum fuit. Ideo
consideratum est quod idem Rogerus nichil capiat per querelam istam et
sit in misericordia pro falso clamore et alii inde quieti. Misericordia per-
donatur.

intelligens tantum locutus fuit cum Abbate de Reuisby qui tune temporis

deberent predictam calcetam sumptibus suis imperpetuum pro duabus
placiis tarn terre quam prati quas idem Comes eis dedit tenendis imper-
petuum et quarum una placea vocatur Heyholm et altera placea vocatur
Westheriwro et continent circiter sexies viginti acras et valent per annum
sex libras. Dixerunt eciam iuratores quod iidem Abbas et conuentus
qui tune fuerunt receperunt predictam terram de dono predict! Comitis ad
sustentacionem predict! calceti imperpetuum et sic sustinuerunt predictum
calcetum per longum tempus quousque quidam Robertus de Heyles Archi-
diaconus Lincolnie ad peticionem predictorum Abbatis et conuentus pre-

Et sic de denariis adquisitis per predicationem illam sustentauerunt pre-

In itinere predicto quod predictus Abbas qui tune fuit et monachi amplius
calcetum illud reparare noluerunt immo illud omnino incidere permiserunt

sustentare et reparare predictum calcetum et nullus alius. Et predict!
iuratores requisiti si predict! Abbas et Monachi possunt per annum sus-
tentare predictum calcetum de valore predicte terre dixerunt quod sic.
Dixerunt eciam quod quidam Willelmus de Rummare filius et heres pre-

firmauit predictis Abbati et conuentui predictam terram quam habuerunt
de dono patris sui ad sustentandum predictum calcetum in puram et

plures homines quolibet anno submersi ibidem. Et predicti iuratores de
wapentakiis de Kirketon Ellou et Auelund electi ad inquirendum de
calceto Hoyland et de ponte de Peckebrige dixerunt super sacramentum

per inundacionem aque impediti fuerunt quod calcetum illud reparare non

Ricardi de Holtham [ J. 1 Et Radulphus episcopus et alii non venerunt
set quidam Willelmus de Edelingtone venit et respondit pro eis tanquam
eorum balliuus. Et dicit quod assisa ista non debet inde fieri quia dicit
quod quidam Gerobaldus Escald habuit manerium de Hornecastre cum
pertinenciis de dono cuiusdam [ ] 2 regis Anglic. Et dicit quod tene-
mentum quod predictus Abbas posuit in visu suo est quidam mariscus qui
est pertinens ad predictum manerium quod est antiquum dominicum domini
Regis in quo nullum breue currit nisi tantummodo paruum breue de
recto clausum secundum consuetudinem manerii etc. Et Abbas dicit quod
predecessores sui habuerunt predictum tenementum de dono Radulphi de
Rodes heredis predict! Gerobaldi tenendum libere et postea confirmatum
fuit donum illud per cartam Henrici Regis patris domini Regis nunc quam
profert et que hoc testatur. Ideo dictum est predicto balliuo quod re-
spondeat aliud si sibi viderit expedire. Et Balliuus dicit quod predictum
tenementum non est solummodo in Cuneghesby immo in multis aliis villis
pro indiuiso adeo bene sicut in Cuneghesby unde petit iudicium de breui.
Et si conuincatur a casu quod tenementum istud sit in Cuneghesby tantum-
modo dicit quod predictus Abbas iniuste tulit assisam illam. Dicit enim
quod predictus Episcopus et alii sunt in seisina de communia pasture sue
in predicta placea marisci de qua Abbas queritur modo disseisiri et dicit
quod predictus Abbas quo ad eos nullum potest clamare dominium in hac
parte nee sunt tenentes ipsius Abbatis unde videtur quod idem Abbas
nullum apprueamentum debet uel potest habere in hoc casu contra volun-
tatem ipsius Episcopi et aliorum. Dicit eciam quod quando Radulphus
de Rodes et Robertus Marmyon dimiserunt predecessoribus ipsius Abbatis
mariscum de la Wyldemore reseruauerunt sibi pro se et tenentibus suis
communam pasture turbarie et falcandi glagellum et arundinem et cetera
ibidem crescentia unde idem Episcopus et similiter quidam Philippus
Marmyon sunt in seysina tanquam participes soli. Et dicit similiter quod
quidam Alanus filius Alani de Multone qui est infra etatem et in custodia
domini Regis est in seysina fodiendi falcandi et huiusmodi faciendi tanquam
particeps soli predict! et antecessores predict! Alani fuerunt similiter unde
petit iudicium. Et Abbas dicit quod ipse solus est dominus de la Wylde-
more ubi tenementum de quo modo queritur est et quod nullus aliquid
potest clamare in solo eiusdem nisi ipse Abbas solus. Dicit enim quod
ipse habet agistamentum inde et imparcamentum aueriorum pascencium
ibidem et capit proficuum herbagii. Et quia dominus Rex in ultimo
statute suo apud Westmonasterium statuit quod domini vastorum et
pasturarum possent se apprueare non obstante reclamacione seu impedi-
mento tarn vicinorum quam tenencium dum tamen haberent sufficientem
communam pasture extra apprueamentum illud cum libero ingressu et
egressu ad eandem ac predictus Episcopus et omnes alii tenentes et vicini
habent extra predictum tenementum de quo modo queritur sufficientem
1 The names are repeated in the record. 2 Space is left for one word.

communam pasture cum libero ingressu et egressu ad eandem apprueauit
idem Abbas se de predictis octies viginti acris sicut ei bene licuit per
statutum predictum et fecit illas claudere fossato et sic remansit in
bona et pacifica seysina ut in suo separali per octo dies et amplius
quousque predictus Episcopus et omnes alii ipsum inde iniuste etc.
disseiserunt et quod ita sit petit quod inquiratur per assisam.

Et Balliuus predict! Episcopi et aliorum dicit quod predictum statutum
supponit quoddam aliud statutum scilicet prouisionem de Mertone in qua
continetur quod magnates domini maneriorum possent libere apprueare se in
niagnis vastis suis absque impedimento tenencium suorum tantum et dicit
quod predictum statutum quod predictus Abbas modo allegat non fuit
factum nisi ad amplificacionem apprueamenti talium magnatum domi-
norum maneriorum respectiue quo ad vicinos unde desicut idem Abbas non
est dominus manerii de Coneghesby immo sunt domini eiusdem manerii
predictus Episcopus et Philippus Marmyon nee idem Abbas ibidem aliquid
habet nisi quasi quidam vicinus minimus petit iudicium si predictum
statutum possit aut debeat ei competere in hac parte. Dicit preterea set
quod statutum [ ] * posset et locum tenere non est in toto marisco

de la Wyldemore aliqua placea ita necessarium refugium bestiarum tern-
pore tempestatis et diluuii sicut ilia placea quam predictus Abbas modo
clamat habere in suo separali. Dicit enim quod placea ilia est altior locus
tocius more et si diluuium emersisset et mora aqua cooperiretur sicut
multociens contigit et bestie more solito querentes refugium versus ilium
locum altum impedirentur de accessu [ ] l ad locum ilium et forsitan

submergerentur in fossatis que predictus Abbas fieri fecit. Dicit eciam quod
fossata ilia si stetissent forent ad maximum detrimentum et nocumentum
tocius patrie quia ubi modo homines patrie et antecessores eorum a
tempore quo non extat memoria consueuerunt habere rectam semitam
versus Sanctum Botulphum per medium placee predicte directe trans-
eundi oporteret de cetero quod ipsi circumuaderent per quinque leucas et
amplius unde petit iudicium.

Et Abbas dicit quod predictum statutum Westmonasterii facit pro ipso
de piano in casu proposito. Dicit enim quod ubi prius domini vastorum
seu pasturarum magnarum ante statutum illud non potuerunt se apprueare
nisi de voluntate vicinorum communicancium in eisdem et modo possunt
domini eorundem tarn sine impedimento vicinorum quam tenencium se
licite apprueare dum tamen relinquatur eisdem sufficiens communa etc.
cum libero ingressu et egressu ad eandem. Dicit eciam antequam prede-
cessores predicti Episcopi aliquid habuerunt in soka de Horncastre habuit
quidam Henricus quondam Abbas de Kyrkestede predecessor suus mari-
scum de la Wyldemore scilicet quicquid Radulphus de Rodes prius ibi

concessit ipsi Abbati scilicet ilium mariscum cum omnibus pertinenciis suis

aliquo retenemento etc. tenendum in liberam et perpetuam elemosinam
et similiter reddendo inde duas marcas per annum eidem Radulpho et

Henrici Regis 2 inter Simonem Abbatem de Kyrkestede predecessorem
suum et Philippum Marmyon qui nunc est de piedicto marisco qui vocatur
Wyldemore in Coneghesby scilicet quod idem Philippus recognouit pre-
dictum mariscum cum omnibus pertinenciis esse ius ipsius Abbatis et
Ecclesie sue de Kyrkstede ut ilium quern predictus Henricus quondam
Abbas habuit ex concessione cuiusdam Roberti Marmyon patris eiusdem

marisco tarn in boscis herbagiis pratis pasturis quam in seruieiis consue-

Regis miserunt diuersas inquisiciones tarn coram eis quam coram aliis

ad districcionem alicui faciendam eo quod non conpertum est in processum
predictarum inquisicionum quod aliquis se posuit in inquisiciones illas

eis quod necesse fuit quod omnes quos negocium illud tangit uenirent in
Curia regis et quod in presencia ipsorum tractaretur et determinaretur
illud negocium. Et quia uisum fuit eis quod graue et difficile esset venire

predictus prior queritur quod iuratores predicte assise minus sufflcienter

Et iuratores predicte assise 3 ueniunt in crastino Natiuitatis beate Marie

quod a tempore cuius non extat memoria predict! marisci fuerunt comunes 1
omnibus de patria qui in illis comunicare uoluerunt sed postea in prima
habitacione villarum Hoiland limitati et separati fuerunt predicti marisci
ita quod homines de Pincebek habuerunt mariscum suum per se separatum
et homines de Gosberchirche et Surflete similiter per se separatum. Ita quod
homines de Pincebek mariscum suum includere potuerunt et pro uoluntate
sua accommoditare preter assensum hominum villarum de Gosberkirke
et Surflet absque aliquo impedimento. Et ipsi de Gosberchirche et Surflete
similiter poterant 2 suum includere mariscum et accommoditare in forma
predicta et ita fecerunt pro magna parte sed dicunt quod omnes homines
fol. 12 b. de predictis villis in residue predictorum | mariscorum illorum scilicet qui
fuerunt inclusi communiter communicauerunt usque ad tempus xxx uel
xxiiij [sic] annorum iam transactorum. Dicunt eciam quod predictus
Prior de Spalding per predictos xxx uel xxiiij annos usque ad hunc diem
semper inparcauit aueria predicti Gilberti et aliorum quocienscumque suum
in partibus illis fecerat inparcamentum videlicet aliquando semel in anno
et aliquando 3 semel per biennium et quandoque semel in tribus annis.
Dicunt 4 eciam quod idem prior dimisit aliter aueria sua per amorem et per
uisnetum et alicui per uadium et quidam permiserunt aueria sua in parco
predicti prioris tarn per longum tempus quod ibidem inclusa obierunt.
Dicunt eciam quod statim postquam aueria deliberata fuerunt de predicto
parco quidam fugauerunt ea ad domos suas proprias et quidam statim sua
reponebant aueria in predictam comunam predicti marisci de Pincebek.
Requisiti eciam iuratores si predictus prior aliquem denarium uel aliquam
redempcionem ceperit de predictis hominibus occasione illius inparcamenti
dicunt quod nesciunt sed dicunt quod a tempore illo usque ad hunc diem
nullam habuerunt ibi comunam nee alio modo quam predictum est et
dicunt quod uerba ista coram prefato Martino alias dixerunt. Et an in
casu isto esset disseisina uel non sue discrecioni et arbitrio reliquerunt etc.
Et quia conuictum est per predictum certificacionem quod predicti Gil-
bertus et alii nullam pacificam seisinam habuerunt iam per xxiiij annos
elapsos in predictis mariscis et quod prior semper inparcauit aueria et
quedam dedit eis quieta per visnetum et pro amore et quedam morabantur
in parco illo donee obierunt et similiter quia concesserunt quod predictus
prior bene potuit includere fossatis predictam comunam et si inclusa esset
quod nullam comunam ibidem exigere potuerunt consideratum est quod
predicti Gilbertus et alii non sunt disseisiti et quod prior retineat seisinam
suam et alii in misericordia et dampna prius adiudicata restituantur.

AN ELEVENTH-CENTURY INQUISITION OF ST. AUGUS-
TINE'S, CANTERBURY . 1-33

INTRODUCTION

A. NATURE OF THE DOCUMENT

As one of the notes to Larking's edition of that part of
Domesday Book which relates to Kent, his editors printed
certain statistics for the city of Canterbury, which Mr. Larking
had copied from the Cartulary of St. Augustine's among the
Miscellaneous Books of the Exchequer at the Public Record
Office, 1 statistics which are remarkably like those contained in
Domesday Book, but yet differ as remarkably.

On consulting the Cartulary, we find that these statistics
are taken from a section of the manuscript which bears the title :

Exce(r)pta de compoto solingorum comitatus cancie secundum cartam
regis videlicet ea quae ad ecclesiam sancti Augustini pertinent et
est in regis domesday.

But although this title says that the Excerpts relate to the
lands of St. Augustine, yet there are inserted among them
notices of the lands over which the Abbey had rights or to
which it had claims, and statistics of Canterbury, Fordwich,
Sandwich, and Dover, and of some estates of the monastery
of the Holy Trinity ; and these are followed by the statistics
of the prebends of St. Martin of Dover, and by a version of
the Laws of Kent, agreeing in substance but differing verbally
from that contained in the second column of the first page of
Domesday Book.

A comparison of these Excerpts with the Exchequer Domes-
day shows the same similarities and the same differences that
are apparent in the extract relating to Canterbury.

In the first place, such of them as relate to the rural manors
of the Abbey are far shorter than the corresponding entries in
the Exchequer Domesday, which, for the sake of brevity, we
will call D. B. ; for while the latter gives the numbers of

1 K. R., vol. ^T.

iv INTRODUCTION

sulungs and yokes at which the estate was assessed, of the
ploughlands, of the ploughs in use, of the villains, bordars, and
slaves, the extent of the meadows, the pigs assigned to a
wood, and the values in 1066 and 1086, the only statistics given
in the Excerpts are the numbers of sulungs and yokes ' tern-
pore regis Edwardi ', and the values ' modo '. The meaning of
' modo ' can be easily ascertained : of the manor of Ryple, not
recorded in Domesday Book, it is said ' modo tenet illud Anfri-
dus masculus clericus de abbate Scotland ' ; Abbot Scotland
died in 1087, so that this year must be the latest date for these
values. Another point of difference is that, where D. B. says
' valet A libras ', the Excerpts usually say ' est appreciatum
A libras '. The figures in the two documents agree remarkably.
Out of sixty-five tenements named in the Excerpts, the assess-
ments agree with the D. B. assessments in all but eight cases,
and the values in all but fifteen cases, and in six of the latter
the difference is a mere matter of shillings ; in a seventh case
(Milton) 1 the Excerpts give the value as 180, and D. B. says
that it was 200 by tale, and in an eighth case (Kennington) -
the Excerpts give the value as 10 and the rent as 12 10s.,
while D. B. gives the value as 12 105. and states no figures
for the rent. In only five cases do both documents give figures
for the rent ; in four of these the figures are the same, and in
the fifth the 14 of the Excerpts becomes 14 8s. 3d. in D. B.

If the Excerpts contained nothing but these figures, the
document would not be worth copying. But to the figures
are appended many notes, most of which contain the same
information as is given in D. B., but in different words and
spellings : a few examples may be given in tabular form :

These examples, which could be multiplied, remind us of
Mr. Round's teaching that ' the Domesday scribes appear to
have revelled in the use of synonym and paraphrase. Our
own conceptions of the sacredness of a text and of the need for
verbal accuracy were evidently foreign to their minds.' 10 And
it is not impossible that all these variations were derived from
D. B. by a clerk who did not appreciate the necessity of verbal
accuracy. It should also be noticed that the Excerpts omit
all mention of Platenovt, which appears in D. B. as belonging
to, or claimed by, the Abbey, and that they insert Ryple,
which is wanting in D. B.

But there are other differences that cannot be explained in
this way. Many of the variations appear to imply that the
compilers of the Excerpts had a more intimate knowledge of
the affairs of the Abbey than had the compilers of D. B. The
Excerpts tell us that the manors of Lenham and Wilrenton

were ' de cibo monachorum V that half a sulung without
the city of Canterbury was for their alms, 2 that Preston per-
tained to their chamber, 3 and that Sibbertswold was for their
clothing, 4 all which assignments are wanting in D. B. They
state that the pre-Domesday tenants of Plumstead 5 and
Badlesmere 6 were Sorag and Godrich Wisce, two names that
are wanting in D. B., and while D. B. gives the names of
Anschitil, Ansfridus, and Radulfus as three subtenants of the
Abbey, the Excerpts identify them as Ascetillus mareschallus, 7
Annfridus masculus clericus, 8 and Radulfus de Sancto Wand-
regesilo. 9 They also tell of a church and thirty houses at
Sandwich belonging to the Abbey, which are not recorded in
D. B. ; 10 and while D. B. alleges that Ralph de Columbels held
at Canterbury five acres of land ' which justly belonged to
a church ', the Excerpts say that these five acres together with
a church belonged to the monastery of St. Augustine. 11 Finally,
they refer to two successful lawsuits of the Abbey in the reign
of the Conqueror, and to one in the reign of King Henry, who
must have been the first of this name, as the only abbots of
the name of Hugh died in 1124 and 1151 respectively. It
is possible that the result of one of these earlier suits is recorded
among the statistics of Milton in D. B.

On fo. 13 v. of the Cartulary, where some of the statistics
contained in the Excerpts are copied out under the rubric
' Notitia terrarum Sancti Augustini ', there is added to this
passage, ' This is in addition to the churches and tithe which
the same munificent king gave to St. Augustine.' Possibly
the 40*. of D. B. represents the ' partem ' of the Excerpts.

D. B. makes no mention of the prebends and church of

the time of William I, 1 and naturally it knows nothing of the
recovery of lands at Mongeham and Northbourn in the reign
of Henry I. 2

Of these additions, there is not one that could not have been
added to D. B. by a man who was well acquainted with the
affairs of the Abbey.

But this suggestion cannot explain a third class of variations
which imply a similar personal knowledge of the whole of East
Kent. The Excerpts say that the manor of Norgate (' Nordeude '
in D. B.) was ' de cibo monachorum S. Trinitatis ', 3 and that
certain dens of wood which belonged to Bishop Odo's manor
of Leeds had passed into the possession of Count Robert of
Eu, and were situate in Sussex, 4 where the corresponding entry
in D. B. is merely ' Comes de Ow habet iiij. denas de isto M.'
From them we learn that Hugo was the name of the nephew
of Herbert the son of Ivo who had built the dangerous mill
in the entrance of the port of Dover, 5 and where D. B. says
that Turbatus holds a solin of the prebends of St. Martin
which was formerly held by Goldstan, the Excerpts give the
name of the present tenant as Robertus Trublet, and say that
the pre-Domesday tenants were Suthgar and Guldstan. 6 Again,
D. B. says that five men of the archbishop held one solin and
six juga of the manor of Estursete (West Gate), but the
Excerpts give their names as Godefridus (1 solin), Vitalis
(1 jugum), Albold (1 jugum), Elwardus (3 juga), and Hamo
( solin). 7 On the other hand, the Excerpts often give only
the numbers of the subtenants where D. B. gives their names.
The local knowledge of the compilers of the Excerpts was
greater than that of the compilers of D. B. ; for while the
latter represented the situation of certain lands belonging to
the prebends of St. Martin as being ' In Addelam', the former
stated that it was ' Ad Dale '. 8 The situation of the lands of
St. Martin's is invariably given in the Excerpts, although it
is usually omitted in D. B. Many of the place-names in
the Excerpts are more correct than those in D. B. : where
the latter writes Esledes, Lertham, Newetune, Chenetone,
Liteburne, Warwintone, Esturai, Blehem, Soaneclive, and

Mundingeham, the former writes Ledes, Lenham, Newentune,
Keningtune, Litelburne, Garwinton, Sturie, Blean, Swalclive, and
Mouingham (Mongeham).

It is, however, when we come to the boroughs that we find
the greatest differences between the Excerpts and D. B.
The section relating to Canterbury in the latter document is
far shorter and less detailed than the parallel section in the
former, which contains two passages that are entirely wanting
in D. B. : x one of these, containing about one hundred words,
relates to the mills within the city, and the rights of the mill-
owners as to alterations of the mill-ponds ; the other, of about
thirty words, relates to the making of bread and beer. On
the other hand, D. B. has two passages relating to the holdings
of Ralph de Curbespine in the city which are wanting in the
Excerpts. The latter document gives additional details of
the income from the city : the shoemakers and drapers paid
30*., and the gatekeeper (portarius) 5s., and a sum of 105. was
derived ' de minutis debitis ' ; the toll of 685. recorded by
D. B. is specified in the Excerpts to be ' the toll of bread '.
The account of Dover given by our document is no more
detailed than that of D. B., but the language is very different.

There are -other points in which D. B. differs from the Ex-
cerpts. The latter document rarely gives the hundred in which
any manor is situate, and in two cases where it does so it
differs from D. B. : Longport and Chislett are stated by the
Excerpts to be in the hundreds of Canterbury and Blengate
respectively, while D. B. places them in the hundreds of Bridge
and Chislett. If the missing names are supplied from D. B.,
the following list will show that the hundreds are arranged
in different orders in the two documents.

26. Blakebourne

The Excerpts say that Burewaremarais, the modern Bur-
wash, was situate in the hundred of Blakebourne, but D. B.
places it in Romney Marsh. It should be especially noted
that the later hundreds in the Excerpts appear to be arranged
in some geographical order, roughly following the coast-line
from Canterbury to Romney Marsh, in somewhat the same
way as, according to Mr. Round, the hundreds are arranged
in the Inquisitio Cantabrigiensis and the Inquisitio Eliensis. 1
And this geographical order extends to the boroughs : in D. B.
Dover and Canterbury are placed before the Terra Regis ; but
in the Excerpts Canterbury comes between the hundreds of
Langbridge and Estursete (West Gate), Fordwich between
Sturry and Whitstable, Sandwich between Preston and Cornelest,
and Dover between Beausberg and Stotinges.

The second point to be noticed is that the compilers of the
Excerpts were better acquainted with the English language
than were the compilers of D. B. : where D. B. speaks of
Handsocam, Gribrige, and Foristel, the Excerpts use the words
Hamsocne, Grithbriche or Grithbreche, and Forestal, and omit
the unnecessary ' t ' in the names of the Lathes, writing

' Feudal England, 129.

x INTRODUCTION

Limwarelest where D. B. has Linuuartlest. The compiler of
D. B. considers ' solin ' as an indeclinable noun, but in the
Excerpts the word is declined as an ordinary noun of the second
declension. This correct use of the English language may be
a sign of the age of the Excerpts, but, on the other hand,
it may be only a sign of the pedantry of their scribe, a sugges-
tion which may be supported by his constant use of ' ager ' for
' acra .'.

To sum up, we have seen that the statistics contained in the
Excerpts are, with a few exceptions, the same as those con-
tained in D. B., and might therefore have been derived from
that source : that some of the notes to those statistics might
also have been derived from D. B., and that certain additional
information might possibly have been supplied by a clerk who
was well acquainted with St. Augustine's Abbey ; but that
there is a certain amount of information which could have
been supplied only by a person who was intimately acquainted
with the whole of East Kent. It is not easy to imagine such
a person, and we are therefore driven to seek some further
explanation.

Possibly the rubric to this document gives the clue to its
origin. The Excerpts do not profess to be taken from D. B. :
about one hundred pages farther on in the Cartulary is to be
found a list of the properties of the Abbey, giving the same
assessments and values and arranged in the same order as in
D. B., and including the missing Platenovt, but our document
is a series of ' Excerpts from the compotus of the sulungs of
Kent '. What is this ' compotus of the sulungs ' ? Can it be
anything else than the lost returns of the hundreds from which
Domesday Book was compiled ? If so, we have here an inde-
pendent compilation from these returns, like the Cambridge
and Ely Inquests, or a copy of such a compilation.

This suggestion will meet all our difficulties : the differences
between the Excerpts and Domesday Book can all be paralleled
from a comparison of the Cambridge and Ely Inquests with
that part of Domesday Book which relates to Cambridge-
shire. We have the same variations in spelling and language
and the same additions to personal names.. Let us tabulate
a few :

The Cambridge Inquest gives the names of the pre-Domesday
sokemen at Kennett and Burwell as Godric and Edwin, and
the Ely Inquest those of Coeia as Bri)wine and Aluriz, but all
four names are wanting in D. B. It is scarcely necessary to
refer to the pages in which Mr. Round shows how the two
Inquests and D. B. vary their language, by ringing the changes
on ' dare', 'vendere' and 'recedere '. 1

We have seen that the Excerpts contain certain information
that is not given in D. B., and we find similar additional informa-
tion in the two Inquests : the Cambridge Inquest says that a
burgess of Cambridge held one virgate of the seven hides of
Trumpington, but there is no corresponding record in D. B. ;
and it is well known that both Inquests contain details of the
stock on the demesne farms, which are omitted in D. B. In fact,
tried by every test that Mr. Round applies to the Cambridge
and Ely Inquests, these Excerpts prove to be either an inde-
pendent compilation from the returns of the hundreds from
which D. B. was compiled, or a copy of such a compilation.
May we not therefore from analogy call this document the
Inquisitio Augustiniensis ?

B. ITS DATE

But what is the relation of our document to the original
returns ? It is contained, as has been said, in a Cartulary of
the thirteenth century, but, as its last word is immediately
followed on the very same line by a charter headed ' Offa

1 Feudal England, 24-6.

xii INTRODUCTION

rex de libertate ecclesiarum ', it is clearly a copy of an earlier
document. This earlier document contains a reference to a
lawsuit ' in curia regis Henrici V and therefore cannot have
assumed its present form before the year 1100. 2 But as it
speaks of the ' curia regis Henrici ' without distinguishing
whether the king is the first, second, or third of that name,
while the two suits in the reign of the Conqueror are stated
to have been heard ' tempore regis Willelmi primi ', it must
have been written before the accession of Henry II, otherwise
the scribe would have given the king's ordinal. Possibly
the terminus ad quern can be fixed even earlier than 1154 :
there were two abbots of the name of Hugh, one of whom died
in 1124, and the other in 1151 : as 110 ordinal is affixed to the
name of the Abbot Hugh who recovered Mongeham and North -
bourn in the court of King Henry, it is possible that the plaintiff
was the first abbot of that name ; in which case the document
must have assumed its present form before 1124. But this
document was itself a copy of an earlier document, which
was compiled before the death of Abbot Scotland in 1087.
So that the utmost that can be claimed for our document is,
that it is a copy, made in the thirteenth century, of a copy
made between 1100 and 1154 (or possibly 1124) of an inde-
pendent compilation, made in or before 1087, from the original
returns of the hundreds from which Domesday Book was com-
piled : in other words, it represents these returns only at third -
hand . It is possible that there were intermediate copies of which
we have no evidence, and if so, they would remove our document,
still farther from the original returns.

But in spite of this long descent, I think that our copy is
very reliable, and, on the whole, that it represents the returns
quite as accurately as D. B. itself. Mr. Round has called
attention to the cases of ' running on ' and consequent omission
of details in the Cambridge and Ely Inquests ; 3 there are a few
cases of ' running on ' in these Excerpts :

1 p. 22 post .

2 I do not think that the charter printed on p. 365 of the History of St. Augus-
tine's (Rolls Series) can relate to this lawsuit, as it makes no reference to the
lands at Mongeham, which, according to the Excerpts, were recovered by Abbot
Hugh at the same time.

It would take up too much room to trace here the differences
in the sections on Canterbury and Dover in the two documents,
but in the passages relating to the same subject, e. g. the illegal
tolls taken by Brimannus in Canterbury, the Inquest appears
to represent an original of which D. B. gives a more condensed
version.

The object of making such a compilation as that contained
in the Excerpts is obvious : it. gives merely the situation
of the various properties, their assessments and valuations
and the names of the tenants ; so long as the Danegeld was
levied, it would be necessary for the Abbey to have a copy of
these assessments to check the demands made by the sheriff ;
in the same way as, to-day, a brewer obtains from the Clerk
to the Assessment Committee a copy of the valuation lists
showing the Poor Law assessments of his public-houses, in order
that he may check the demands of the excise officers when they
levy the licence duties. In view of the possible revision of
the basis of the geld, considered as a contingency by the

xiv INTRODUCTION

Conqueror when D. B. was compiled, it was necessary to have the
figures of the valuations, while the preservation of the names of
the tenants would be a security that the rights of the Abbey over
the lands in the occupation of its knights should not be forgotten.

C. THE DOMESDAY MONACHORUM

These Excerpts are not the only document of the kind
relating to lands in Kent : another document, very similar to
that which we have been examining, is that which is printed
as Appendix 40 to Part I of Somner's Antiquities of Canter-
bury, 1 and in Dugdale's Monasticon, and was examined by
Mr. Brigstocke Sheppard in the Eighth Report of the Historical
Manuscripts Commission? and in that report is styled ' The
Kentish Domesday of the Monastery of Christ Church '. By
permission of the Dean of Canterbury, to whom I would tender
my best thanks for his kindness, I have had the opportunity of
consulting this document, which is deposited in the Library of
the Dean and Chapter, and is there catalogued as the ' Domes-
day Monachorum '. Mr. Sheppard says of it : ' The record is
written on eight folios of vellum, each measuring 21 by 16
inches, in a beautifully clear character, with neatly coloured
capitals heading the paragraphs. Internal evidence indicates
that the compilation was made near the beginning of the
12th century, and the style of the handwriting so well corre-
sponds with that date, it may be believed that the present
volume is the original, from which other copies, known to
exist, were taken.' This document contains the same statistics
for the estates belonging to the Archbishop of Canterbury
and to the monks of Holy Trinity as are contained in the
Excerpts for the estates of the Abbey of St. Augustine, and
as the Excerpts contain also statistics for certain properties
of the monastery of Holy Trinity, we can print in three columns
the parallel statistics for these properties from the Excerpts,
the Domesday Monachorum, and the Exchequer Domesday.
The first glance shows that the Domesday Monachorum is
more akin to the Excerpts than to the Exchequer Domesday :
both documents use ' ager ' where D. B. uses 4 acra ' ; both

1 pp. 44-51. s p. 31S.

THE DOMESDAY MONACHORUM xv

documents generally use ' appreciatum est ' for the ' valet '
of D. B. ; and the usual phrase of the Domesday Mona-
chorum, ' Nordwda est manerium monachorum Sanctae Trini-
tatis ', l is more akin to the usual phrase of the Excerpts,
4 Dernedale manerium Sancti Augustini ', than to the ' Ipse
Archiepiscopus tenet Nordeude ' of the Exchequer Domesday.
Both documents agree in stating that the payments of the
Canterbury burgesses pertaining to the manors of Nordeude,
Estursete, and St. Martin's were ' de gablo ', 2 while
D. B. is silent on the point : and in the short passage
relating to the thirty-two masures in Canterbury belonging
to certain clerics both documents state in precisely the same
words ' ibique manent xij. burgenses qui reddunt eis xxxv.
sol. et molendinum reddit v. sol.' In the section relating to
Sandwich there is a passage of some forty words which is
exactly the same in both documents, except that the D. Mon.
inserts an ' et ' which is wanting in the Excerpts. The chief
difference in the language of the two documents is that while
the Excerpts treat ' solinus ' as an ordinary noun of the second
declension, capable of inflections, D. Mon. writes ' sullinc '
in one or two passages, but usually ' sull ' without any inflec-
tions. These similarities show that either one document is
a copy of the other, or that both are copied from the same
original : the slight differences show that the latter is the
correct explanation. But even if the Excerpts did not exist,
it would be possible, by the use of the same arguments as have
been applied to the Excerpts, to show that the D. Mon. is an
independent compilation from the original Domesday returns.

The agreement of the figures of the D. Mon. with those of
the Exchequer Domesday is as remarkable as that of the
Excerpts. Of the seventy-five cases in which the assessment
is given in both D. Mon. and D. B. there are only four cases
of disagreement, in one of which, Charing, 3 the decrease of
the assessment from the eight hides of D. B. to the seven
hides of D. Mon. is explained ' Quia archiepiscopus habet
aliud ad suam propriam carrucam '. Of the fifty-seven cases in

xvi INTRODUCTION

which the values are given in both records, there are only eight
cases of disagreement, one of which, Eastry, 1 is a difference
of five farthings only. Of the sixteen cases in which the rent is
given in both records, there are differences only in three cases.
But, as with the Excerpts, so with the Domesday Monachorum,
its value lies, not in its agreement with, but in its variations from,
D.B. It differs in spellings : where D.B. gives the names of certain
manors as Broteham, Boltone, Gecham, and Nortune, D. Mon.
gives their names as Wroteham, Boctune, lecham, and North-
wode : where D. B. speaks of Hen Hundred, D. Mon. speaks
of the hundred of Hede (Hythe). It gives details and surnames
omitted by D. B. : it identifies the Geoffrey who held three
librates of land at Wrotham as Geoffrey de Ros, 2 the William
who held half a solin at Little Chart 3 as William son of Hermen-
fridus, and the William who held three librates at Ickham 4
as William of Hedesham ; it states that the Richard who held
Graveney was Richard the constable, 5 and that the Ansgot who
held Farningham was Ansgodus Rubitoniensis. 6 It says that the
land pertaining to Ickham and occupied by William of Hedesham
was called Insull, and that Pette was the name of the half -solin
of Little Chart occupied by William the son of Hermenfridus.
It gives the names of pre-Domesday tenants omitted by D. B.

xviii INTRODUCTION

There are occasional differences in the names of the sitting
tenants. D. B. says that the Count D'Eu was the sitting
tenant of Stutinges in Aldington, but D. Mon. says that this
place was occupied by William de Archis : similarly, D. B.
says that the archbishop held Appledore, but D. Mon. says
that Robert of Romney was in occupation.

Our document, when dealing with the manors of the monks,
states whether any particular manor was ' de vestitu or ' de
cibo eorum ', assignments which are usually wanting in D. B.
The manors ' de vestitu ' were Sandwich, Chartham, Godmer-
sham, Great Chart, Werehorne, Cliff, Orpington, Farningham,
Graveney, Surling, and Hlose : those ' de cibo ' were North-
wood, Eastry, Monkton, Adisham, Ickham, Seasalter, Little
Chart, Appledore, Westwell, Hollingbourn, Mersham, Brook,
Farleigh, Peckham, and Meopham ; Preston in Faversham
hundred was ' de victu monachorum ', and ^Elmesland in
Romney Marsh was ' de elemosina monachorum '. D. B. says
that the little borough of Seasalter ' proprie pertinet coquinae
archiepiscopi ', but D. Mon. states that it was 4 proprie coquinae
eorum', i.e. monachorum.

Unlike the Excerpts, the Domesday Monachorum usually

gives the name of the hundred in which any manor is situate,

and, allowing for variations in spelling, the two documents

agree on this point, except that D. B. places Otford and

Sundridge in Achestan hundred, while D. Mon. places them in

the hundred of Codesele. The order in which the hundreds

are arranged in D. Mon. differs from the order both in D. B.

and in the Excerpts ; and while D. B. rubricates the manors

under three heads, the land of the archbishop, the land of

his knights, and the land of his monks, D. Mon. arranges them

under two headings only, the manors of the archbishopric

(archiepiscopatw) and the manors of the monks. D. B. places

among the lands of the archbishop two manors, Mersham and

Newenden, which D. Mon. includes among the manors of the

monks, and according to the latter document some of the

knights were settled on the manors of the archbishop and some

on those of the monks. D. B. says that the firmar of Sundridge

rendered 24 and one ' militem in servitio archiepiscopi ', but

D. MOD. uses the word 'equitem' instead of 'militem'.

THE DOMESDAY MONACHORUM xix

The Domesday Monachorum places after the statistics of the
manors of the monks similar statistics for the manors of the
Bishop of Rochester, but these latter contain no information
but what is contained in D. B., and with two exceptions the
manors are arranged in the order of D. B.

Of more general interest are the notices of three manors
Sundridge, Orpington, and Langport which Archbishop Lan-
franc recovered from the Bishop of Bayeux in the famous suit
on Pinnenden Heath ; but it should be noticed that one manor
Sentlinge which had been held of the archbishop T. R. E.,
was in 1086 held of the Bishop of Bayeux. One point of differ-
ence between the Excerpts and the Domesday Monachorum on
the one hand, and the Exchequer Domesday on the other, proves
the superior accuracy of the former documents. D. B. says that
Sandwich was worth 40 and forty thousand herrings ' quando
Archiepiscopus recepit ', but D. Mon. and the Excerpts give these
values ' quando Archiepiscopus recuperavit '. The latter is the
correct reading, for Sandwich was one of the many estates that
Archbishop Lanfranc recovered from the Bishop of Bayeux at
Pinnenden Heath. 1

The Winchester compiler would naturally know nothing of this
action, and would therefore extend the contraction not as ' re-
cuperavit ', but according to the better-known contraction as
' recepit '. Another variation requires notice: D. B. constantly
speaks of the 'leuga' of Richard of Tunbridge, and there are corre-
sponding references to this 'leuga' in D. Mon., except that at
Darent 2 D. Mon. says that Richard has ten solidates 'infra cartel -
lum suum ', suggesting that the leuga was akin to a castellany.

In conclusion it may be pointed out that Mr. Brigstocke
Sheppard is mistaken in saying that internal evidence points
to the early part of the twelfth century as the date of this
document. It refers to no archbishop but Lanfranc, who died
in 1089. With two exceptions, all the sitting tenants are the
same persons as are mentioned in D. B. as being the occupiers
in 1086, and, unlike the Excerpts, it contains no informa-
tion which must necessarily have been added after the compila-
tion of D. B. But the date is absolutely fixed by the parallel

1 Eadmer's History, 197 ; quoted, Larking's Domesday of Kent, 16*.

2 p. 46.

xx INTRODUCTION

passages relating to Sandwich : D. B. gives the value of that
borough as 50 in the year in which this description was made ;
D. Mon. states that 50 was the value ' in praeterito anno . . .
et in isto anno debet reddere Ixx. lib. et allecia sicut prius.'
Evidently D. Mon. was compiled in the year after the Domesday
Commissioners visited Kent.

D. THE LESSONS OF THE Two DOCUMENTS

Hitherto we have been discussing the nature and date of
these two documents, and any light that they may throw on
the institutions of the eleventh century has been merely inci-
dental to such discussion ; now, however, we propose to study
them with a view of learning something of these institutions.

Neither document gives us any information as to the nature of
Kentish villainage, but the parallel passages relating to Wadard's
holding at Mongeham 1 are very valuable and should be compared
with the Tewkesbury record in D. B. 2 The Excerpts say that
Wadard held all the land of the villains, while D. B. states that
the land held by the monks never gelded, but that the land held
by Wadard always gelded T. R. E. ; hence we have a corrobora-
tion of Professor Vinogradoff's contention that the land of the
villains paid the geld charged on the demesne. 3 And this posi-
tion is further corroborated by a passage in the Notitia : ' De his
suprascriptis terris vel quae subscribuntur, dominium et pars
monachorum nunquam geldavit vel consuetudines fecit, sed
milites et ceteri homines eiusdem honoris per omnia defendebant.'

The D. Mon. often differentiates between the payments ' de
gablo ' and ' de firma ' where D. B. aggregates them into one
sum. For instance, D. Mon. says that Boughton rendered
25 ' de firma ' and the archbishop had thence 115s. 3d. ' de
gablo ', 4 but D. B. states the value to be 30 165. 3%d. ; simi-
larly, Adisham rendered, according to D. Mon., 16 16s. 4>d.
' de gablo ', and was worth 30 ' de firma ' and 100s. ' de
gersuma ' ; 5 but D. B. says that it rendered 46 16s. 4d., and
100s. ' de gersuma ' to the archbishop. Evidently many of
the occupying tenants paid money rents of which Domesday
gives no indication. And it should be noticed that the same

1 p. 22 post. * D. B. i. 163 b.

1 Growth of the Manor, 225 f. 4 p. 45. 5 p. 47.

LESSONS OF THE TWO DOCUMENTS xxi

volume which contains D. Mon. also contains, on the very next
page, a schedule of these same manors, dividing the receipts
under three heads, 'de firma', 'de gablo ', and 'de custumis';
but as the majority of these payments exceed those given in
D. Mon., this schedule is probably of a later date.

All students of manorial institutions know of the existence
of distant lands lying in another manor : comparison of the
Excerpts and D. B. reveals the existence of some outlying
lands of the manor of Longport, and explains a passage in
D. B. which would otherwise be inexplicable. D. B. says that
in the hundred of Stotinges the abbot held in Lanport two
sulungs and one yoke : but the corresponding passage in the
Excerpts is that ' in the same hundred (i. e. Stutinge) St. Augus-
tine has Elmsted and Horton, which were assessed T. R. E.
at two sulungs and one yoke.' 1 The only possible explanation
is that these lands at Elmsted and Horton were annexed for
purposes of administration to the manor of Longport : another
point to be noticed is that there was no demesne in these lands ;
but six villains with four bordars had six teams. The absence of
demesne reminds us of the Lincolnshire sokelands. 2 The Excerpts
speak of another outlying portion of a manor, which is unknown
to D. B., and tell us that six sulungs of the manor of Chislett lay
at Margate. A comparison of parallel passages in D. Mon. and
D. B. shows how lands could be annexed to a manor.

D. MON. D. B.

Et in Stotingeberga quod temiit De terra huius M. tenet j. homo
Edricus de Edwardo rege est dimi- archiepiscopi dimidium solin et
dium sull. unde ipse Edricus dabat cum his vj. solins geldabat T.R.E.
scottum ad Pecham spontance quamvis non pertineret M. nisi
non quod pertineret ad sanctam de scoto quia libera terra erat. 3
Trinitatem nee ad monachos.

The land which Edric had held of the king became part of the
manor of Peckham because he voluntarily paid geld to the manor.
Was this a case of commendation ? Incidentally these two pas-
sages corroborate my suggestion that a man who held free land
had liberty of commendation, and was said to hold of the king. 4

In the Domesday for Essex one frequently meets the phrase, that
A calls on B as his protector or tutor : the same phrase appears

1 p. 30 post. * Dom. Inq. 52. 3 p. 50. * Dom. Inq. 120

xxii INTRODUCTION

in the D. B. account of Canterbury : Ralph of Columbels called
on the Bishop of Bayeux as protector in respect of certain houses
held by him but claimed by citizens ; but the Excerpts say baldly
that Ralph says he holds these of the Bishop of Bayeux. 1

The greatest addition to our knowledge of the institutions
of the eleventh century comes from the parallel passages in
our documents relating to the boroughs. Many writers have
called attention to the statements in D. B. that the citizens and
clerks of Canterbury held certain lands and houses * in gildam
suani ', and these statements have inspired references to the
gilds of Canterbury. Dr. Gross, however, thought that the proper
translation is ' in their geld ', i.e. in their ' geldable or lands
subject to their gelds '. 2 On this point light is thrown by both
documents ; for although the Excerpts say that the lands were
held by the citizens ' in gilda eorum de donis omnium regum ', 3
yet of the masures of the clerks the same Excerpts say that
they were held ' ad gildam ', 4 while the D. Mon. says that these
masures were held by the clerks of St. Gregory ' ad eorum ec-
clesiam ' 5 , and thus excludes all idea of a gild of clerks. However,
the payment of 30s., which the Excerpts say was made by the
shoemakers and drapers of Canterbury, may possibly represent
a payment from a craft gild, as I pointed out years ago ; 6 but
the payment of 5s. was made, not by the ' porcarii ' (as printed
by Larking), but by the ' portarius ', the gatekeeper of the city,
a personage whom the Pipe Rolls of Henry II represent as
doing justice within the county. More information about the
gilds is afforded by a comparison of the parallel passages relating
to the Gildhall at Dover :

The statement that the gildhall was ' elemosina regis '
should be noted. The passage quoted above relating to the
gift to the Abbey of a third part of Fordwich by the Bishop of

Bayeux makes it perfectly clear that this third part came to the
bishop as Earl of Kent and represented the earl's third penny. 1

A second point on which the Excerpts throw light is the
vexed question of the residence of burgesses pertaining to
a rural manor : for where D. B. says ' To this land (St. Mar-
tin's) pertain seven burgesses in Canterbury rendering 8s. 4<d. ',
the Excerpts say ' Within the walls of the City are burgesses
who render to this manor 8s. 3d. de gablo ' ; and the D. Mon.
uses exactly the same words with the substitution of ' in
Canterbury' for 'within the walls of the City'. 2 The inter-
change of ' land ' and ' manor ' should be noted.

When we come to the four boroughs which were later the
Kentish members of the confederation of the Cinque Ports,
a comparison of our three documents, the Excerpts, the Domes-
day Monachorum, and the Exchequer Domesday, teaches much.
Let us print the important passages side by side.

It will be noticed that there is a distinct contradiction of
the Domesday record relating to Sandwich by the Excerpts
and the D. Mon. Which version is to be preferred ? If we
remember that D. Mon. was compiled by the monks of the
monastery of the Holy Trinity, and that it admits the claim
of the men of Sandwich that the king had given them their
own customs, we shall have little hesitation in accepting this
as the true version. But all three records agree in stating that
Sandwich rendered to the king service on the sea, like Dover ;
and as it is clear that it was in return for their sea-service that
the king granted their sake and soke to the burgesses of Dover,
and their customs and other forfeitures to the burgesses of
Romney, the inference is clear that it was in return for their
sea-service that the king granted their customs to the men
of Sandwich. The Saltwood record states that Hugh of Mont-
fort had nothing from his 225 burgesses in Hythe except the
three forfeitures : who, then, was entitled to their ' consue-
tudines et alias f orisfacturas ' ? Analogy with Romney would
suggest that these were vested in the burgesses themselves
* pro servitio maris ' ; and, if so, it would appear that all four
boroughs had similar privileges in return for their service on
the sea, except that Hugh de Montfort and Robert of Romney
received the three forfeitures from their burgesses in Hythe
and Romney. In all probability some earlier king had granted
these three forfeitures to the archbishop of Canterbury, so
that when the bargain came to be made for the sea-service of
1 p. 4.9. 2 p. 20 post.

LESSONS OF THE TWO DOCUMENTS xxv

the burgesses, it was out of his power to grant these forfeitures
to them, and therefore the sake and soke of such of the burgesses
of Hythe and Romney as were tenants of the archbishop
was diminished by these three forfeitures.

Considerable light is thrown on the nature of the sake and
soke of the burgesses of Dover by the passage in the Excerpts
relating to the * triwa regis ' between the feasts of St. Michael
and St. Andrew, a passage which is another direct contradiction

of D. B.

EXCERPTS. D. B;

Si quis vero in hoc termino fecerit Siquis cam infregisset : inde pre-
aliquamforisfacturamvicecomites positus regis accipiebat com-
communiter accipiebant illam. munem emendationem. 1

The expression ' communiter accipiebant illam ' can only
mean that the forfeiture was paid into a common fund, and
must be compared with two similar phrases, ' Canonici de
Cicestre tenent communiter xv j. hidas' 2 and 'Omnes burgenses
oxeneford habent communiter extra murum pasturam.' 3
Another common fund was that of the prebends of St. Martin's
at Dover, concerning which the Excerpts say ' T. R. E. erant
omnes prebende communes et valebant Ixj. libras, et quando
episcopus Baiocensis venit, divisit eas inter canonicos ecclesie
ut sibi placuit.' 4 The account of D. B. is almost the same,
but not so clear as to the action of the Bishop of Bayeux
But the Excerpts distinctly imply a pre-Conquest common
fund into which all the receipts from the prebends were paid,
and from which the canons received their stipends.

Another case of distinct contradiction between the Excerpts
and D. B. is found in the statistics relating to the seven masures
of the archbishop in St. Augustine's borough of Fordwich :

EXCERPTS. D. MON. D. B.

Ibique habet archi- In Fordwik habet In isto burgo tenet

1 p. 24 post. * D.B. i. 17 a 1. * Ib. 154 a 2. 4 p. 26 post. s p. 18 post.

xxvi INTRODUCTION

D. B. suggests that the saint had been defrauded by the
archbishop's refusal of service, but the Excerpts imply that
the burgesses (eis) had been defrauded and their burdens
increased. D. Mon. is non-committal. But without the
Excerpts and D. Mon. we should have heard nothing of the
sea-service of Fordwich.

Incidentally D. Mon. adds to our knowledge of the English
precautions against the Norman invasion. Edward the Con-
fessor had tried to prepare landing-places for his Norman
cousin by handing over to the Abbey of Fecamp the manor
and port of Steyning, and the manor of Brede with its appur-
tenant ports of Winchelsea and Rye ; but during his short
reign Harold seized all three ports. D. Mon. shows that pre-
viously Earl Godwin had taken possession of the archbishop's
manors of Langport and Saltwood with their appurtenant
burgesses at Romney and Hythe, and that after the Conquest
Lanfranc recovered Langport from the Bishop of Bayeux in
a lawsuit. But Saltwood was held in 1086 by Hugh de Mont-
fort of the archbishop, and must therefore be added to the list
of manors recovered from the Bishop of Bayeux.

The most difficult point has been left to the last : the long
passage in the Excerpts relating to the mill-owners in Canter-
bury x states that their rights over the mill streams varied
according to the ownership of the banks : if both banks belonged
to the same ' senior ', the mill stream could be altered without
any other person's consent ; but if the banks belonged to
different ' seniores ', then the mill and the stream could be
altered only by consent of both riparian owners. Who was this
' senior ' ? One suggestion is that the word is equivalent to
the French seigneur, in which case the ' seniores ' would be the
feudal lords owning houses in Canterbury. But another sug-
gestion is that ' senior ' is equivalent to alderman, a suggestion
which is supported by the use oLsenior in the Latin version of
the Indicia Civitatis Lundonie as equivalent to ' yldesta ' in
the English version. 2

There yet remain certain minor points to be noticed. One

1 p. 8 post.

z For the six Aldcrmannis of Canterbury, 21 Edw. I, see Somner, Antiquities
of Canterbury, pt. i, app. 6.

LESSONS OF THE TWO DOCUMENTS xxvii

passage appears to throw light on the relation of the ancient
local courts to one another : certain dues from land at Milton
were recovered by the abbot ' in hundredo de Middeltone et
in comitatu Kancie ' ; 1 and the mention of the two courts
suggests that there was an appeal from the hundred to the
shire court.

The parallel passages setting forth the laws of East Kent
deserve careful study, and the one piece of additional informa-
tion given by the Excerpts is that, as in the case of the robber
condemned to death, so in the case of the outlaw, the moiety of
his chattels was forfeited to the king.

A strange expression is used concerning Littlebourne, which
is said to be ' de dominico allodio sancti Augustini ' ; 2 and
the Excerpts emphasize the distinction drawn by D. B. between
the lands which burgesses held ' de allodiis eorum ', and those
which they had ' in gilda eorum ' ; 3 perhaps, however, the dis-
tinction is between the alods and the lands given them by
the king.

Other points worth noting are the equation of half a yoke
in D. B. with 25 acres in the Excerpts, 4 and of a load (summa)
of meal in D. B. with a sextary of meal in the Excerpts 5 : the
latter confirms Henry of Huntingdon and settles a point which
was long in dispute. 6 In view of the uncertainty as to the
extension of the phrase 'Terra est ij. car.', it is interesting to
note that D. Mon. in one place writes at length ' est terra
duarum carrucarum.' 7
