shall  live  longer  than  I,  and  so  conducts 
herself  as  I  trust  she  will,  all  the  other  lands

God  therefore,  and  pray  earnestly  for  our

Dei  genitricis  semperque  Virginis  Marice  ct

si  abbas  et  monachi  de  hiis  justiciam  facere 
neglexerint,  rex  fieri  compellat,  ila  ut  in 
nullo  libertatem  Radingensis  ecclesiam

Roger  Knight's  Letter  to    IV.  Lilley,  t/ie  Astrologer.     1649. 


September  ye  St/i 

at  half  an  hour  after  4  in  the  afternoon. 
SIR. 

Havinge  been  with  you  divers  times,  as 
upon  the  24  of  Decr  1647  and  upon  the 
2yth  of  Sept  1648,  and  twise  in  the  latter 
end  of  Aprill  last,  at  all  w1'  times  I  made 
bould  to  desire  your  judgement  concerninge 
some  thinges  I  then  propounded  unto  you, 
wherein  you  were  pleased  to  give  me  some 
satisfaction.  You  may  happily  remember 
me  by  this  character ;  I  was  borne  three 
weekes  before  my  time,  neare  Newbury,  on 
the  1 6th  of  Aug'  1619;  but  what  houre 
I  cannot  learne  ;  I  am  very  tall  of  Stature 
goeing  stoopinge  a  little  at  the  shoulders, 
I  am  leane  havinge  thinne  flaxen  haire,  of 
a  longish  visage  and  a  pale  complexion, 
gray-eyed,  havinge  some  impediment  in  my 
upper  lippe  w'1  hath  a  small  mole  on  the 
right  side  thereof;  I  have  alsoe  on  the  right 
side  of  my  forehead  another  little  mole, 
I  am  of  a  mellancholly  disposition,  havinge 
beene  all  the  course  of  my  life  in  an  un- 
setled  condition.  When  I  was  last  with  you 
I  was  very  desirous  to  knowe  your  judgment 
about  what  time  you  did  thinke  I  might 
be  setled,  and  I  did  then  acquaint  you  that 
there  was  a  match  propounded  unto  my  father 
for  me  unto  a  gentlewoman  who  lived  South 
from  the  place  of  my  usuall  residence ;  she 
was  borne  neare  Worcester,  in  May  1613, 
but  for  the  most  part  of  her  life  had  lived 
South  or  Southwest  from  me.  She  is  an 
Ayresse,  of  a  reasonable  tall  Stature  of  a 
brownish  haire,  of  an  ovall  visage,  and  a 
saturnine  complexion,  very  discreete,  and 
excellent  well  spoken,  all  \vh  when  I  was 
with  you,  you  described  unto  me,  and  told 
me  that  possibly  I  might  succeed  in  the 
businesse,  if  she  were  not  preingaged  wh 
I  should  knowe  before  the  ioth  of  Maye 
then  followinge  and  in  case  it  did  come 
to  anythinge,  it  should  notwithstandinge  goe 
but  slowely  on  at  the  first  and  that  I  should 
have  many  rubbs  and  delayes  duringe  the 
time  of  Mercury  his  beinge  retrograde  but 


at  his  comming  to  be  direct  all  thinges 
should  goe  fairely  on ;  but  however  this 
business  did  succeed  you  did  assure  me  that 
I  should  be  settled  before  the  20"'  of  Novem- 
ber next.  Nowe  Sir,  to  acquaint  you  howe 
much  of  your  judgment  proved  true,  I  re- 
frained to  make  any  addresse  unto  her  untill 
those  aspects  were  over  in  the  9"'  of  May, 
but  afterwards  I  went  unto  her,  when  with 
some  difficulty  I  obtained  leave  to  waite 
on  her,  and  at  last  procured  of  her  to  thinke 
of  a  treaty  of  Marriage  wh  she  did,  and 
appointed  it  three  several  times,  duringe  the 
time  of  Mercury  his  last  being  R,  but  still 
by  several!  accidents  unexpectedly  put  of, 
yet  at  last  it  was  appointed  to  be  on  the 
221'""'1  or  23rd  of  August  soe  my  father  with 
my  selfe  and  some  other  friends  set  out 
towards  the  place  appointed  for  the  treaty, 
(wh  was  Southwest  from  us,  and  west  from 
the  gentlewoman)  on  Munday  the  20"'  of 
August  at  halfe  an  hour  after  twelve  and  on 
Thursday  at  the  place  appointed,  the  treaty 
beganne  between  2  and  3  of  clocke  P.M.  at 
which  time  they  could  not  come  to  an 
agreement,  but  proposalls  were  tendered 
by  my  Father,  the  w1'  were  by  her  com- 
missioner to  be  delivered,  or  sent  unto  her, 
and  after  she  a  little  had  deliberated  upon 
them,  I  should  goe  to  knowe  her  answere. 
And  so  I  went  on  the  30th  of  August, 
but  it  was  31  about  2  of  the  clocke 
before  1  came  to  her,  where,  after  an  houres 
stay,  I  demanded  her  resolution  but  before 
she  delivered  her  answere  we  were  interrupted 
and  soe  continued  all  that  day,  but  the  next 
day  after  a  great  deale  of  arguinge  upon  the 
proposalls,  she  told  me  that  she  would  not 
accept  of  those  termes  proffered,  upon  wb 
we  broke  of.  Nowe  Sir,  beinge  not  a  little 
troubled,  that  having  revolved  the  Ephe- 
merides  where  finding  soe  many  of  the 
planets  neare  the  places  they  were  in  at  the 
time  of  my  birth,  this  businesse  should  goe 
soe  crossely,  and  being  by  this  meanes  for  a. 
long  time  likely  to  continue  in  an  unsetled 
condition,  my  desire  unto  you  is  that  you

lend  me  your  opinion  in  some  of  these 
ensuinge  questions.  First,  whether  or  noe 
you  wold  advise  me  to  make  another  attempt 
to  endeavour  the  bririginge  about  the  busi-

soe,  what  possibility  I  have  to  be  likely  to 
speede  in  my  desires,  and  by  what  meanes  I 
am  likely  to  doe  any  good  in  it,  and  at  what 
times  I  were  best  to  make  any  newe  ad- 
dresses unto  her;  or  secondly,  whether  or 
noe  you  are  of  the  same  judgement  still  as 
formerly,  that  I  shall  assuredly  be  setled 
about  the  middle  of  November  next,  if  soe, 
by  what  meanes  it  is  likely  to  come  to  passe ; 
and  lastly,  if  neither  of  these  thinges  should 
come  to  passe  whether  or  noe  there  be  any 
probability  for  me  to  travell  beyond  seas  as 
I  very  much  desire,  of  w1'  let  me  desire  your 
speedy  answere  and  judgement  by  wh  if  I 
receive  any  good  I  shall  be  thankful  unto 
you.  Let  me  allsoe  desire  you  to  let  me

The  Riottrs  at    Thatcham  dispersed 

"  At  Thatcham  on  Monday  last  a  con- 
course of  people  to  the  number  of  three 
or  four  hundred  appeared  for  the  avowed 
purpose  of  enforcing  an  advance  of  wages 
or  of  being  provided  with  food  at  a  less 
price.  The  Volunteer  Cavalry  of  that  place 
consisting  of  a  small  but  respectable  troop, 
assembled  instantly,  and  were  as  promptly 
supported  by  the  armed  association  of  Ne\v- 
bury  ;  not  one  of  whom  either  Cavalry  or 
Infantry  within  reach  of  the  intelligence  was 
found  to  be  absent.  The  Cavalry  hastened 
to  the  assistance  of  the  Thatcham  troop  ; 
whilst  by  very  judicious  management,  the 
Infantry,  furnished  with  ball  cartridges, 
paraded  through  the  Town  and  neighbour- 
hood, ready  to  repel  any  attempt  at  insur- 
rection from  other  quarters.  The  insur- 
gents, though  numerous,  and  some  of  them 
very  clamorous,  dispersed  upon  the  appear- 
ance of  the  Cavalry,  without  proceeding  to 
any  act  of  violence,  which  rendered  it  un- 
necessary for  Mr.  Coxe  (the  magistrate) 
who  attended  to  read  the  Proclamation. 
On  the  next. day  a  mob,  more  formidable, 
arose  in  another  quarter,  under  the  same 
pretence  of  getting  their  wages  advanced, 
or  the  prices  of  provisions  reduced ;  and 
the  Associations  of  Newbury  and  Thatcham 
again  flew  to  arms  to  suppress  them.  In- 
telligence arriving  at  Newbury  that  the  Pro- 
clamation had  been  read,  without  effect, 
to  a  large  body  of  people  assembled  at 
Highclere,  the  Volunteer  Cavalry  of  New- 
bury went  immediately  in  pursuit  of  them, 
and  were  followed  by  the  Thatcham  troop  ; 
and  at  Upper  Hurstbourne  in  Hampshire, 
about  12  miles  from  Newbury  (whither  they 
were  accompanied  by  a  Magistrate,  the  Rev. 

Mr.  Gardiner  of  Highclere),  the  troop  came 

• 

1  1663,  according 


by  the    Volunteer  Cavalry,  June,    1800. 

up  with  the  rioters,  most  of  whom  were 
disconcerted  and  panic  struck,  and  began 
to  hurry  away  ;  whilst  others  declared  their 
resolution  to  continue  in  a  body  till  assu- 
rances were  given  of  their  demands  being 
complied  with  ;  but  whilst  thus  lawless  and 
outrageous,  they  found  a  magistrate  dis- 
daining to  temporize  by  yielding  to  clam- 
ourous demands  and  a  corps  resolutely 
adhering  to  their  duty.  Remonstrances 
proving  ineffectual,  the  Proclamation  was 
again  read,  and  the  insurgents  required  to 
disperse  ;  but  many  appearing  reluctant  and 
sullen,  Lieut*  Slocock  (who  commanded  in 
the  absence  of  Capt"  Townsend,  and  whose 
conduct  throughout  was  admired  by  the 
corps  and  fully  approved  and  sanctioned 
by  the  Capt'1  when  reported  to  him  upon 
his  return  from  London),  drew  out  a  de- 
tachment of  12  men  from  the  Newbury 
troop  ;  and  after  a  firm  and  spirited  ad- 
monition to  the  refractory,  commanded  the 
troop  to  disperse  them.  This  order  was 
no  sooner  issued  than  executed,  and  the 
disturbers  fled  in  every  direction,  before 
they  had  time  to  execute,  or  even  arrange, 
any  plan  of  serious  mischief;  and  to  the 
judicious  conduct,  manly  firmness,  and  cool 
intrepidity  of  these  volunteers,  the  country 
acknowledge  themselves  indebted  for  its 
preservation. 

"  The  Newbury  Association  continued 
under  arms  till  Thursday,  when  the  Hun- 
gerford  troop  of  Volunteer  Cavalry  arrived 
to  join  the  Newbury  and  Thatcham  troops, 
and  be  in  readiness  in  case  of  further  dis- 
turbance, which  was  expected  on  the 
market  day,  but  happily  none  arose."- 
Reading  Mercury,  1 6  June,  1800.

1217,  which  bishoprick  he  held  till  translated  to

been  appointed  earlier.  Adam's  name  occurs  again 
after  Richard's  as  presiding  in  1249.  The  date  of

cannot  be  asceitained  with  any  certainty.  Dugdale's

disuse  of  Rates  and  Taxes  it  was  and  had 
been  a  verie  hard  matter  to  make  just  and

then  was  growne  much  to  decaye,  and  by 
reason  of  the  uncertaine  values  of  the  saide 
Thropps  many  suites  and  controversies  had 
risen  amongst  the  inhabitants  of  the  said 
Tithings  and  Thropps  concernyng  the  rat-

spent,  and  the  church  in  the  meanetyme 
neglected  and  gone  much  to  ruyne  : 

Therefore  the  inhabitants  of  the  saide 
several  Thrupps  aud  Tithings  did  then  lately 
referre  the  ending  of  all  the  saide  differences 
and  the  Taxing  and  rating  of  all  the  saide 
villages,  Tithings,  and  Thrupps  unto  John 
Bowles,  Doctor  of  Divinetie  and  Deane  of

esquire,  and  Vincent  Knight  for  the  Tithing

village  and  tithing  of  Thacham,  and  the 
saide  complaynaunts  for  Midgham  Tithing, 
to  attend  the  said  Doctor  Bowles,  and  did 
give  allowaunce  to  whatsoever  the  saide 
parties  soe  elected  should  assent  unto  for 
the  saide  several  Thrupps,  or  the  saide  Mr. 
Doctor  Bowles  should  sett  downe  or  appoint. 
And  the  saide  complainants  bytheir  saide  Bill 
further  declared  that  the  saide  Doctor  Bowles 
did  accordingly  take  a  greate  deale  of  paynes 
and  at  divers  daies  and  tymes  did  heare  the 
said  parties  and  their  allegations,  and  that 
after  the  same  was  soe  solempnelie  heard 
the  saide  Mr.  Doctor  Bowles  on  the  eight

past  for  the  ending  of  all  controversies  then 
depending,  and  for  the  preventing  of  all 
future  quarrels  concernyng  the  rating  and 
Taxing  of  the  saide  villages,  Tithings,  and 
Thrupps  did  under  his  hand  and  scale  sett 
down  his  award  or  order  in  manner  and 
forme  hereafter  following,  videlt.  : — 

Be  it  knowne  unto  all  men  by  theis  presents

cerning a  proportionable  contribucion  to  be 
levied  for  the  casting  of  the  bells  and  repair- 
ing of  the  Church  of  Thacham,  and  for  ye 
ending  of  all  suites  and  controversies  lately 
depending  betwixte  them  or  any  inhabitant 
amongest  them,  have  with  the  mutuall  assent 
of  all  parties  ordered  and  concluded  that  the

Auberie  Street  Tithing  fower  poundes  and

ham  Tithing  from  tyme  to  tyine  five  poundes,

divers  sutes  on  all  sides  have  been  comenced 
I  doe  order  that  all  suites  shall  be  with- 
drawne  in  all  courts  and  fullie  ended,  and 
that  the  charge  of  all  suites  shall  be  jointly 
paied  out  of  such  and  so  many  rates  as  in 
the  aforesaide  proporcion  shall  discharge  the 
aforesaide  charge  and  costs  heretofore  ex- 
pended, and  that  this  order  shall  remayne  in 
the  church  andchappells  of  Thacham,  Green- 
ham  and  Midgham  as  a  proportionable  rate 
to  leavy  moneys  by  as  there  shallbe  occasion 
to  repaire  the  saide  church  of  Thacham,  and 
in  liewe  thereof  I  do  order  that  the  inhabi- 
tants of  Greenham  and  Midgham  shall  have 
as  free  use  of  the  Bells  of  Thacham  as  any 
inhabitant  of  Thacham  whatsoever.  And  I 
beseech  God  to  unite  their  hearts  that  this 
agreement  maie  contynue  to  the  glorie  of 
God  and  the  peace  of  the  people,  ffebruarie 
the  eight  and  twentith,  one  thousand  sixe 
hundred  twentie  twoe.

inhabitants  of  the  saide  severall  villages  and 
Tithings  being  troublesome  and  desiring 
suites  and  especially  the  saide  defendants 
Nicholas  Hunt,  John  Bradley,  and  Roger

by  the  order  or  decree  of  this  courte  for  the

concernyng  the  reparacion  of  the  Church  of

of  the  Councell  on  both  sides,  ffor  as  much 
as  the  saide  award  was  not  made  by  the 
order  or  direccion  of  this  Courte  but  upon 
submission  of  parties,  and  for  that  one 
Winchcombe  being  one  of  theise  inhabitants

depose  that  the  greatest  parte  of  the  inhabi-

to  ye  saide  submission,  this  Courte  therefore 
would  not  Decree  the  saide  awarde  but  did 
order  by  consent  of  parties  on  both  sides  on

According  to  which  said  order  a  comission 
issued  forth  of  this  Courte,  and  the  saide

On  the  Institution  of  the  present  Vicar 
to  the  Vicarage  of  Thatcham,  he  made 
enquiry  after  all  the  curtilages  described 
above  in  the  old  Terrier  ;  and  was  surpriz'd 
to  find  that  no  account  could  be  given  of  them 
by  the  oldest  Inhabitants  of  the  Parish  ex; 
cept  the  following,  "  that  there  were  some 
little  Parcels  of  ground  answering  the  des- 
cription in  the  old  Terrier,  and  still  bearing 
the  names,  by  which  they  are  there  men- 
tion'd  ;  but  that  his  predecessor  had  receiv'd 
no  benefit  from  any  of  them  except  one, 
viz.  : — the  curtilage  in  Ransford's,  which 
was  supposed  to  be  a  place  where  there  was 
formerly  an  old  orchard,  for  which  the 
Tithingman  of  his  predecessor  receiv'd  an- 
nually five  shillings  ;  distinguishing  it  in  some 
of  his  receipts  (in  bad  spelling)  as  an  Orchat, 
in  others  as  a  curtilage."  The  present  vicar 
hath  constantly  receiv'd  the  same  sum  of 
five  shillings  per  ann.  from  the  present  pro- 
prietor of  the  said  curtilage,  George  White 
of  Speenham  Lands  near  Newbury. 

Item  there  is  also  by  long  established 
custom  due  to  the  vicar,  one  shilling  for  the

Chapels  of  Greenham  or  Midgham ;  Five 
shillings  for  the  celebration  of  matrimony  ; 
seven  pence  for  every  churching  in  the

one  shilling  for  every  funeral  when  the  coffin 
is  brought  into  the  Church  or  Churchyard 
covered  with  a  black  cloth,  and  ten  shillings 


128

Parishioners). 

Item  a  right  of  chusing  one  churchwarden 
annually  (two  others  being  chosen  by  the

feet  square,  and  (together  with  the  Body 
of  the  Church)  is  kept  in  repair  by  the 
Parishioners.  It  was  decreed  (7th  Charles

Vicarage  of  Thatcham.     Feb.,    1857. 

[Representation  and  Scheme  of  the  Bishop  of  Oxford  for  separating  the  Chapelries  of  Greenham  and 
Midgham  from  the  Vicarage  of  Thatcham  in  the  County  of  Berks  and  constituting  them  two 
separate  parishes  for  Ecclesiastical  purposes  and  perpetual  Curacies  and  Benefices.  From  the 
Privy  Council  Office.] 


A. 

To  the  most  Rev.  John  Bird,  Lord  Arch- 
bishop of  the  Province  of  Canterbury. 

I  the  Right  Rev.  Samuel  Lord  Bishop  of 
Oxford  Do  hereby  represent  to  your  Grace 
that  to  the  Vicarage  and  Parish  Church  of 
Thatcham  in  the  County  of  Berks  and  my 
Diocese  of  Oxford  belong  two  Ancient 
Parochial  Chapelries  or  Tithings  known  by 
the  names  of  Greenham  and  Midgham,  the 
limits  and  boundaries  whereof  are  well 
known  and  defined. 

That  according  to  the  Census  of  1851 
the  population  of  Thatcham  is  2861  ;  that 
of  Greenham  1182  ;  and  that  of  Midgham 
250. 

That  there  is  in  Greenham  a  Church  or 
Chapel  distant  from  the  Parish  Church  of 
Thatcham  4  miles  or  thereabouts ;  and 
that  there  is  in  Midgham  a  Church  or 
Chapel  distant  from  the  Parish  Church  of 
Thatcham  4  miles  or  thereabouts  ;  in  both 
of  which  Churches  or  Chapels  divine 
service  is  performed  by  Curates  nominated 
by  the  Vicar  of  Thatcham  aforesaid. 

That  the  Parish  Church  of  Thatcham 
affords  accommodation  for  630  persons  or 
thereabouts  ;  the  Chapel  of  Greenham  for 
296  persons  or  thereabouts  ;  and  the  Chapel 
of  Midgham  for  150  persons  or  there- 
abouts. 

That  the  aforesaid  Chapelries  or  Tithings 
of  Greenham  and  Midgham  appear  to  be 
ancient  and  separate  Parishes  for  all  civil 
purposes;  and  that  Baptisms,  Churchings, 
Marriages  and  Burials  have  been  for  a  long 
series  of  years  and  are  now  solemnized  and 
performed  in  each  of  the  said  Churches  or 
Chapels  of  the  said  Chapelries  or  Tithings 
and  the  Burial  Grounds  thereto  respectively 
belonging,  and  that  each  of  the  said  Chapelries 
or  Tithings  has  its  own  Churchwardens,  Over- 
VOL.  n.  1 


seers  and  other  Parish  officers,  and  is  in  no 
way  connected  with  the  said  Parish  of 
Thatcham  in  respect  of  Rates  of  any 
kind. 

That  the  net  annual  value  of  the  said 
Vicarage  of  Thatcham,  exclusive  of  the 
aforesaid  Chapelries  or  Tithings,  and  also 
exclusive  of  the  value  of  the  Vicarage  house 
and  appurtenances,  is  ,£350  or  thereabouts, 
arising  partly  from  Rent  charges  given  in 
commutation  of  Tithes  ;  partly  from  Glebe  ; 
and  partly  from  Surplice  Fees  and  Easter 
Offerings. 

That  by  the  apportionment  of  the  Rent 
charge  in  lieu  of  Tithes  within  the  said 
Chapelry  of  Greenham  (which  apportion- 
ment was  confirmed  by  the  Tithe  Com- 
missioners for  England  on  the  3oth  of 
March,  1842)  it  was  agreed  that  the  annual 
sum  of  -£iT,o  by  way  of  Rent  charge  (subject 
to  the  provisions  of  the  Act  of  Parliament 
therein  mentioned)  should  be  paid  to  the 
then  Vicar  of  the  said  Parish  of  Thatcham 
and  to  his  successors  Vicars  of  the  said 
Parish  instead  of  all  the  vicarial  tithes  of 
all  the  lands  of  the  said  Chapelry  or  Tithing 
of  Greenham. 

That  by  the  apportionment  of  the  Rent 
charge  in  lieu  of  Tithes  within  the  said 
Chapelry  or  Tithing  of  Midgham  (which 
apportionment  was  confirmed  by  the  said 
Tithe  Commissioners  on  the  28th  day  of 
March,  1842)  it  was  agreed  that  the  annual 
sum  of  ,£105  by  way  of  Rent  charge 
(subject  to  the  provisions  of  the  Acts  of 
Parliament  therein  mentioned)  should  be 
paid  to  the  then  Vicar  of  the  said  Parish  of 
Thatcham  and  to  his  successors  Vicars  of 
the  said  Parish  instead  of  all  the  vicarial 
tithes  of  all  the  lands  of  the  said  Chapelry 
or  Tithing  of  Midgham,  and  instead  of  all 
moduses  and  compositions  real  and  pre- 
scriptive and  customary  payments  payable 


138 


APPENDICES   TO  BOOK  II. 


in  respect  of  the  vicarial  tithes  of  all  the 
lands  or  the  produce  thereof,  and  instead  of 
all  Easter  Offerings,  Mortuaries,  Tithes  of 
Fish  or  Fishing  and  all  other  payments  of 
any  kind  whatsoever  (except  Surplice  Fees) 
payable  to  the  said  Vicar  of  Thatcham  for 
or  in  respect  of  the  said  Chapelry  or  Tithing 
of  Midgham  or  the  Inhabitants  thereof. 

That  there  is  at  present  no  house  of 
residence  for  the  Ministers  of  either  of  the 
said  Chapelries  or  Tithings  of  Greenham 
and  Midgham. 

That  none  of  the  Inhabitants  or  Land 
Owners  of  Thatcham  possess  any  legal  right 
by  Faculty  or  otherwise  to  the  exclusive 
use  of  any  pews  or  sittings  in  the  said 
Churches  or  Chapels  of  Greenham  or 
Midgham  ;  nor  does  it  appear  that  any  of 
the  Inhabitants  or  Land  Owners  of  the  said 
two  Chapelries  or  Tithings  possess  any  such 
legal  right  by  Faculty  or  otherwise  to  the 
exclusive  use  of  any  pews  or  sittings  in  the 
Parish  Church  of  Thatcham. 

That  the  patronage  of  the  Advowson  of 
the  said  Vicarage  and  Parish  Church  of 
Thatcham  with  the  said  Chapelries  or 
Tithings  belongs  to  the  Rev.  John  Haworth 
Milne  of  Thatcham  in  the  County  of  Berks, 
who  is  also  the  Incumbent  of  the  said 
Vicarage  and  Parish  Church. 

That  it  appears  to  me  that  under  the 
provisions  of  the  Act  of  Parliament  of  the 
ist  and  2nd  years  of  the  reign  of  Her 
present  Majesty  chapter  106,  and  of  the 
2nd  and  3rd  years  of  the  same  reign 
chapter  49,  the  said  Chapelries  or  Tithings 
of  Greenham  and  Midgham  may  be  advan- 
tageously separated  from  the  said  Vicarage 
and  Parish  Church  of  Thatcham  and  be 
constituted  two  separate  Parishes  for 
Ecclesiastical  purposes  and  perpetual 
curacies  and  benefices. 

That  pursuant  to  the  direction  contained 
in  the  26th  section  of  the  said  first  men- 
tioned Act  I  have  prepared  the  following 
scheme,  which  together  with  the  consent 
thereto  of  the  Patron  and  Incumbent  of 
the  said  Vicarage  and  Parish  Church  I  do

Order  in   Council  for  constituting   the  district  of  St.  John  the   Evangelist,  Newbury,  out 
of  the  Parishes  of  Newbury  and  Greenham.      1859. 


[From  Ecclesiastical  Commissioners' 

At  the  Court  at  Windsor  the  22nd  day 
of  October,  1859.  Present:  The  Queen's 
Most  Excellent  Majesty  in  Council. 

Whereas  the  Ecclesiastical  Commissioners 
for  England  have  in  pursuance  of  the  Act 
of  the  3rd  and  4th  years  of  Her  Majesty, 
Chapter  113,  and  of  the  Act  of  the  6th  and 
7th  years  of  Her  Majesty,  Chapter  37,  duly 
prepared  and  laid  before  Her  Majesty  in 
Council  a  scheme  bearing  date  the  nth 
day  of  August,  in  the  year  1859,  in  the 
words  and  figures  following ;  that  is  to  say 

We,  the  Ecclesiastical  Commissioners  for 
England,  in  pursuance  of  the  Act  of  the 
3rd  and  4th  years  of  your  Majesty,  Chapter 
113,  and  of  the  Act  of  the  6th  and  7th 
years  of  Your  Majesty,  Chapter  37,  have 
prepared  and  now  humbly  lay  before  Your 
Majesty  in  Council  the  following  scheme 
for  constituting  a  separate  district  for 
spiritual  purposes  out  of  the  Parish  of 
Newbury,  in  the  County  of  Berks  and 
diocese  of  Oxford,  and  Greenham  (hereto- 
fore a  Chapelry  in  the  Parish  of  Thatcham) 
in  the  same  County  and  diocese. 

Whereas  it  has  been  made  to  appear  to 
us  that  it  would  promote  the  interests  of 
religion  that  the  portions  of  the  said 
parishes  of  Newbury  aud  Greenham  herein- 
after mentioned  and  described,  such 
portions  not  at  present  containing  within 
their  limits  any  consecrated  Church  or 
Chapel  in  use  for  the  purpose  of  divine 
worship,  should  be  constituted  a  separate 
district  for  spiritual  purposes  in  manner 
hereinafter  set  forth  : 


Orders  in  Council,  Vol.  XII.  p.  347.] 

[Then  follows  a  recital  of  a  deed  dated 
8th  August,   1859,  between  the  Rev.   Jas. 
Leslie  Randall,  Rector  of  Newbury,  of  the 
ist  part,  the  Right  Rev.  Samuel,  Bishop  of 
Oxford,  of  the   2nd   part,  and  the  Ecclesi- 
astical   Commissioners    of    the     3rd    part, 
enrolled  in  Chancery  whereby  certain  tithes 
amounting    to    ,£100    os.     id.    had    been 
secured  to  the  Incumbent  of  the   District 
thereinafter  recommended  to  be  constituted. 
Afterwards  follows  a  recital  that^2,433  6s.  %d. 
£3  per  cent,   consolidated   Bank  accounts 
had  been  transferred  to  the  account  of  the 
Ecclesiastical      Commissioners      by     John 
Erederick   Winterbottom,  the   Rev.    Henry 
William    Majendie,    Henry   Richard    Eyre, 
John  Matthews,  Sarah  Townsend,  William 
Nutley  and  George   Charles    Cherry   upon 
the  understanding  that  the  annual  payment 
thereinafter  mentioned  should  be  made  by 
the    Ecclesiastical    Commissioners    to    the 
Incumbent  and  his  successors.     And  then 
follows    another    recital   that  it   had    been 
proposed  by  the   said  J.  L.  Randall,  J.  F. 
Winterbottom  and   the    six    other    persons 
therein  named,  and  that  it  appeared  to  the 
Ecclesiastical     Commissioners      expedient 
that    the  right   of   patronage    of  the    new 
district    should    be    assigned    to    the   said 
Bishop  of  Oxford  and  his  successors.] 

[The  form  of  the  scheme  then  proceeds 
as  follows.]  Now  therefore  with  the  consent 
of  the  said  Samuel,  Bishop  of  Oxford,  in 
testimony  whereof  he  has  signed  and  sealed 
this  scheme,  we  humbly  recommend  and 
propose  that  all  that  part  of  the  said  parish 


APPENDICES  TO  BOOK  II. 


of  Newbury,  and  also  all  that  part  of  the 
said  parish  of  Greenham  which  are  described 
in  the  Schedule  hereunto  annexed  (all 
which  parts  together  with  the  boundaries 
thereof  are  delineated  or  set  forth  on  the 
map  or  plan  hereunto  annexed,  and  are 
thereon  coloured  red  and  green),  shall  upon 
and  from  the  day  of  the  date  of  the  publica- 
tion in  the  London  Gazette  of  any  order 
of  Your  Majesty  in  Council  ratifying  this 
scheme  become  and  be  together  constituted 
a  separate  district  for  spiritual  purposes, 
and  that  the  same  shall  be  named  "  The 
District  of  St.  John  the  Evangelist,  New- 
bury." 

[The  Ecclesiastical  Commissioners  then 
by  their  scheme  recommend  the  annual 
payment  therein  mentioned  to  be  made  by 
them  to  the  Incumbent  of  the  new  District 
— and  that  the  right  of  patronage  be  vested 
in  the  Bishop  of  Oxford  and  his  suc- 
cessors.] 

The  Schedule  contains  a  description  of 
the  lands  forming  the  new  district,  the 
first  part  being  part  of  the  parish  of  New- 
bury, and  the  second  part  being  in  the 
words  following :  "  And  also  all  that  part

1865. 


As  to  the  assignment  of  a  District 
Chapelry  to  the  Church  of  St.  Mark,  Cold 
Ash,  in  the  Parish  of  Thatcham,  in  the 
County  of  Berks  and  Diocese  of  Oxford. 
Gazetted  \2th  September,  1865. 

At  the  Court  at  Windsor  the  9th  day  of 
Sept.  1865. 

Present — the  Queen's  Most  Excellent 
Majesty  in  Council.  Whereas  the  Ecclesias- 
tical Commissioners  for  England  have  in 
pursuance  of  the  Act  of  the  591)1  year  of 
His  Majesty  King  George  the  3rd,  Chapter 
134,  of  the  Act  of  the  2nd  and  3rd  years  of 
Her  Majesty,  Chapter  49,  and  of  the  Act 
of  the  igth  and  2oth  years  of  Her  Majesty, 
Chapter  55,  duly  prepared  and  laid  before 
Her  Majesty  in  Council  a  representation 
bearing  date  the  3rd  day  of  August,  in  the 
year  1865,  in  the  words  and  figures  follow- 
ing, that  is  to  say, 

We,  the  Ecclesiastical  Commissioners 
for  England,  in  pursuance  of  the  Act  of  the 
59th  year  of  His  Majesty  King  George  the 
3rd,  Chapter  134,  of  the  Act  of  the  2nd 
and  3rd  years  of  your  Majesty,  Chapter  49, 
and  of  the  Act  of  the  igth  and  2oth  years 
of  your  Majesty,  Chapter  55,  have  prepared 
and  now  humbly  lay  before  your  Majesty 
in  Council  the  following  representation  as 
to  the  assignment  of  a  District  Chapelry  to 
the  consecrated  Church  of  St.  Mark  situate 
at  Cold  Ash,  in  the  Parish  of  Thatcham,  in 
the  County  of  Berks  and  in  the  Diocese  of 
Oxford. 

Whereas  it  appears  to  us  to  be  expedient 
that  a  District  Chapelry  should  be  assigned 
to  the  said  Church  of  St.  Mark,  situate 
at  Cold  Ash  aforesaid  : 


Now  therefore  with  the  consent  of  the 
Right  Rev.  Samuel,  Bishop  of  the  said 
Diocese  of  Oxford  (testified  by  his  having 
signed  and  sealed  this  representation),  we 
humbly  represent  that  it  would  in  our 
opinion  be  expedient  that  all  that  part  of 
the  said  parish  of  Thatcham  which  is  de- 
scribed in  the  Schedule  hereunder  written, 
all  which  part,  together  with  the  boundaries 
thereof,  is  delineated  and  set  forth  on  the 
map  or  plan  hereunto  annexed,  should  be 
assigned  to  the  said  Church,  and  that  the 
same  should  be  named  "  The  District 
Chapelry  of  St.  Mark,  Cold  Ash." 

And  with  the  like  consent  of  the  said 
Samuel,  Bishop  of  the  said  Diocese  of 
Oxford  (testified  as  aforesaid),  we  further 
represent  that  it  appears  to  us  to  be  ex- 
pedient that  banns  of  matrimony  should  be 
published,  and  that  marriages,  baptisms, 
churchings  and  burials  should  be  solemnized 
or  performed  at  such  church,  and  that  the 
fees  to  be  received  in  respect  of  the  publi- 
cation of  such  banns,  and  of  the  solemniza- 
tion or  performance  of  the  said  offices, 
should  be  paid  and  belong  to  the 
Minister  of  the  same  church  for  the  time 
being. 

We  therefore  humbly  pray  that  your 
Majesty  will  be  graciously  pleased  to  take 
the  premises  into  your  royal  consideration, 
and  to  make  such  order  with  respect  thereto 
as  to  your  Majesty  in  your  royal  wisdom 
shall  seem  meet. 

The  Schedule  to  which  the  foregoing 
representation  has  reference. 

The  District  Chapelry  of  St.  Mark,  Cold 
Ash,  being : —

General  Summary  of  the    Chief  Charities. 
^From  the  Reports  of  the  Charity  Commissioners, 32,  Part  I.,  1837.] 

(a)     The   Church   Estate,    1413,   1423,   1431. 


i st.  By  deed-poll,  dated  the  28th  Dec. 
1413,  Alice,  widow  of  Richard  Bye,  granted 
to  the  churchwardens  of  Thatcham,  and 
their  successors,  for  ever,  a  burgage  tene- 
ment, with  its  appurtenances,  in  the 
Borough  of  Thatcham. 

2nd.  By  deed-poll,  dated  6th  February, 
1423,  John  Prentys  granted  to  William 
Goldfinch  and  John  Bye,  chapman,  church- 
wardens of  Thatcham,  and  their  successors, 
for  ever,  one  burgage  tenement,  with  its 
appurtenances,  situate  on  the  north  side 
of  West  Street,  Thatcham. 

3rd.  By  deed-poll,  dated  27th  Sept., 
1423,  one  John  Gray  conveyed  to  John 
Hosyer,  William  Eldebury,  and  Richard 
Edrith,  churchwardens  of  Thatcham,  and 
their  successors,  for  ever,  one  acre  of  arable 
land,  situate  at  Midgham,  in  a  certain  field 
there,  called  Redhyll. 

4th.  By  deed-poll,  dated  i8th  March, 
1431,  John  Bennet, -Robert  Cooke,  and 
Henry  Barber,  churchwardens  of  the  Parish 
of  St.  Nicholas,  Newbury,  with  and  by  the 
common  consent  of  the  said  parish,  granted, 
released,  and  conveyed  to  Thomas  Bela  and 
John  Talbot,  churchwardens  of  Thatcham, 
a  burgage  tenement,  with  a  curtilage  and 
a  small  parcel  of  arable  land  adjoining  to 
the  same,  situate  on  the  east  side  of  South 
Street,  Thatcham. 

With  the  exception  of  the  land  at  Midg- 
ham, it  does  not  appear  easy  to  establish 
any  identity  of  the  particular  premises  which 
VOL.  n.  x 


were  the  subjects  of  the  preceding  convey- 
ances. The  following  is  the  present  rental 
of  the  estate,  which  has  always  been  con- 
sidered as  belonging  to  the  church  of  this 
parish  : — 

A  messuage  in  Cheap  Street,  Thatcham,  let

The  proceeds  have  always  been  applied 
to  the  purposes  generally  of  a  church  rate. 

In  the  year  1828  a  sum  of  ^400  was 
raised  for  extensive  repairs  of  which  £60 
remains  still  due  to  the  fund  of  Loundey's 
Almshouses  that  follow. 


(b)  Loundyes'  Almshouses.      1446. 

In  the  following  list  the  lines  in  italic  represent  the  description  given  in  the  table  of  Benefactions. 
The  lines  in  Roman  type  represent  the  present  description. 


I'.y  deed-poll,  dated  /th  July,  1445, 
Robert  Clark,  vicar  of  Thatcham,  described 
as  the  executor  of  Thomas  Loundyes 
"granted  to  William  Carter,  John  Godfader, 
and  Robert  Kestwold,  churchwardens  of 
Thatcham,  and  their  successors,  for  ever, 
a  hurgage  in  the  south  side  of  East  Street, 
Thatcham,  commonly  called  the  Alms- 
house,  and  situate  near  the  Chapel  there." 

It  further  appears  from  the  recitals  in  the 
Indenture  next  mentioned  that  the  same 
Robert  Clark,  either  of  his  own  proper 
gift,  or  as  executor  of  Loundyes,  by  a 
second  deed  oow  lost,  bearing  even  date 
with  the  former,  conveyed  to  the  aforesaid 
churchwardens,  and  their  successors,  certain 
other  property,  upon  trust ;  for  by  deed 
indented,  the  date  of  which  is  omitted, 
after  reciting  "  that  by  a  former  instrument, 
dated  7th  July,  1445,  he  had  granted  to 
William  Carter,  John  Godfader,  and  Robert 
Kestwold,  and  their  successors,  for  ever, 
the  reversion  after  the  death  of  one  Eliza- 
beth 1^  de,  of  and  in  a  certain  burgage  in 
East  Street,  Thatcham,  called  Notehatches, 
together  with  all  lands,  arable,  meadow,  and 
pasture,  thereto  belonging,  lying  in  the  fields 
of  Thatcham,  and  commonly  called  Note- 
hatches  Lands,  and  of  one  other  burgage 
in  South  Street,  Thatcham,  with  the  croft 
and  lands  thereunto  belonging,  and  the 
reversion  after  the  decease  of  one  John 
Plecy  in  another  burgage,  situate  on  the 
north  side  of  West  Street,  Thatcham,"  the 
said  Robert  Clark  directed  the  said  church- 


wardens, and  their  successors,  for  ever,  out 
of  the  rents  and  profits  of  the  said  lands  and 
messuages,  should  cause  to  be  delivered 
yearly  i  2  cart  loads  of  good  firewood  to  the 
Almshouse  in  East  Street,  formerly  founded 
by  Thomas  Loundyes,  in  manner  following, 
viz. —  6  cart  loads  to  the  principal  house 
standing  in  the  centre  thereof  and  3  cart 
loads  to  each  of  the  other  two,  for  the  use 
and  relief  of  the  poor  therein  residing.  And 
further,  that  as  occasion  should  require,  the 
said  almshouse  should  be  maintained  and 
repaired  from  the  rents  and  profits  of  the 
aforesaid  lands  and  premises.  And  for  their 
care  and  trouble  he  allowed  each  of  the 
churchwardens  to  take  yearly  the  sum  of 
i2d.,  and  directed  them  to  pay  to  the  Vicar 
of  Thatcham  for  the  time  being  the  sum ' 
of  2od.  every  year,  and  directed  that  if  at  any- 
time the  said  churchwardens  should  neglect 
to  perform  the  trusts  as  aforesaid,  then  the 
Vicar  of  Thatcham  for  the  time  being 
should  cite  them  to  appear  before  the  Arch- 
deacon of  Berks  or  his  official.  And  for 
the  better  security,  he  directed  that  one 
part  of  the  said  Indentures  should  remain 
in  the  custody  of  the  churchwardens,  and 
the  other  part  in  the  hands  of  the  Vicar 
of  Thatcham,  and  also  that  a  copy  thereof 
should  be  inscribed  in  the  missal  of  the 
said  parish. 

We  find  from  the  accounts,  which  have 
been  carefully  kept  for  many  years,  that 
the  rent  of  the  whole  property  belonging 
to  Loundyes'  Charity  was  less  than  the  out-

lay  until  the  year  1819,  the  deficiency  being 
always  paid  out  of  the  rates  ;  since  that 
time,  however,  a  considerable  increase  in 
the  rental  has  taken  place,  and  a  balance  of 
about  ,£300  has  been  accumulated,  with 
which  it  is  proposed  to  rebuild  the  alms- 
house  now  in  a  ruinous  state. 

The  building  consists  of  three  distinct 
tenements  (the  centre  being  the  larger).  It 
is  occupied  by  six  poor  widows,  two  in 
each,  who  receive  dd.  each  per  week,  and 
eight  score  of  faggots,  and  two  loads  of  peat 
each,  at  Christmas.  The  45.  %d.  given  to 
the  vicar  and  churchwardens  is,  with 
their  consent,  paid  towards  the  maintenance 
of  the  parish  fire-engine. 

In  the  accompanying  schedule  we  have 
compared  the  description  given  on  the 
benefaction  table  in  the  church  with  the 
present  state  of  the  property,  and  all  ap- 
pears to  be  accounted  for.

We  are  informed  that  there  is  also  some 
good  timber  ready  for  felling,  the  proceeds 
of  which,  together  with  this  balance,  will 
be  sufficient  to  rebuild  the  almshouse 
in  a  substantial  and  durable  manner,  and 
then  the  stipend  of  the  widows  will  be  in- 
creased as  far  as  the  income  of  the  charity 
will  allow. 


(c)  Bye's  Gift.      1585. 


It  is  stated  on  the  benefaction  table  that 
"  loth  November,  1585,  Richard  Bye  gave 
to  the  poor  of  Thatcham  £i  per  annum 
charged  on  a  close  and  meadow  on  the 
east  side  of  Stony  Lane,  Thatcham,  to  be 
distributed  in  sixpennies  at  Easter  and 
Pentecost ;  also  a  messuage  in  Broad  Street, 
for  the  habitation  of  one  poor  man." 

Several  houses  have  been  erected  on  the 
close  and  meadow  above  mentioned,  which 
have  ultimately  become  vested  in  John 
Harris,  esq.,  of  Reading  j  they  are  com- 


monly called  Perry's  Houses  and  the 
charge  of  2os.  is  duly  paid.  The  messuage 
in  Broad  Street,  being  in  a  state  of  ruin, 
has  been  agreed  to  be  let  for  a  lease  for 
21  years,  to  Edward  Wimbolt,  he  agreeing 
to  build  a  substantial  tenement  thereon, 
and  pay  a  yearly  rent  of  ,^10.  He  has 
erected  two  respectable  cottages,  which  are 
worth  about  ^14  per  annum. 

The  proceeds  of  the  rent  charge  of  £i 
are  distributed  together  with  those  of  the  fol- 
lowing [i.e.  Winchcombe's,  see  (f)]  charity. 


(d)  tfiint's  Almshouses.     1590. 


By  deed  of  feoffment,  dated  5th  August, 
1590,  John  Hunt  granted  to  Erasmus  Webb 
and  10  others,  four  messuages,  one  plot  of 
meadow  ground,  and  3  half  acres  of  land 
in  Thatcham  and  also  one  yearly  rent  charge 
of  ;£8  iSs.  od.  issuing  out  of  all  his  lands 
at  Benham  and  elsewhere,  upon  trust,  to 
stand  possessed  of  the  same,  to  the  use  of 
the  said  grantor  during  his  life,  and,  after 
his  decease,  to  such  uses  as  he  should  by 
Will  appoint ;  and  upon  further  trust  that 
so  often  as  six  or  more  of  the  said  feoffees 
should  die,  the  survivors  should  convey 
the  said  premises,  land,  and  rent  charge 
to  other  freeholders  and  householders  of 
Thatcham,  upon  the  trusts  so  to  be  declared 
by  his  Will. 


The  said  John  Hunt,  by  Will  dated  at 
or  about  the  same  time,  directed  his  feoffees 
to  permit  and  suffer  one  of  the  said  tene- 
ments together  with  the  plot  of  meadow, 
and  the  three  halfacres  of  land,  to  be  oc- 
cupied and  enjoyed  by  some  poor  kinsman 
or  woman  of  his,  subject  to  the  yearly  rent  of 
8s.  and  no  more,  which  siid  rent  he  directed 
should  be  applied  towards  the  repairs,  as 
occasion  should  require,  of  all  the  four  tene- 
ments ;  and  as  regarded  the  remaining  three 
tenements,  to  suffer  three  poor  impotent 
inhabitants  of  Thatcham,  that  had  resided 
there  10  years  at  the  least,  to  dwell  therein 
free  of  rent,  the  same  to  be  selected  by  the 
vicar  and  churchwardens  for  the  time  being 
of  Thatcham ;  and,  in  case  they  should  at 


APPENDICES  TO  BOOK  III. 


157 


any  time,  for  one  month,  neglect  to  elect 
proper  persons  as  aforesaid,  that  then  the 
Constable  for  the  time  being  of  Thatcham 
should  appoint  fit  persons  to  occupy  the 
said  tenements  ;  and  so  far  as  regarded  the 
rent  charge  of  £&  .  i&s.  he  directed 
that  his  feoffees  should  pay  i$s.  every 
quarter  to  each  of  the  three  poor  people 
dwelling  in  the  said  tenements,  and  should 
yearly  expend  205.  further  part  of  the  said 
rent  charge  in  fuel,  to  be  equally  divided 
among  them  ;  and  that  the  remaining  2s. 
should  be  paid  to  the  vicar  and  church- 
wardens of  Thatcham  for  the  time  being, 
for  their  care  and  trouble. 

The  latest  renewal  of  the  trust  we  can 
find  is  dated  2jrd  January,  1663,  which, 
after  reciting  the  above  feoffment  and  Will, 
and  that  by  divers  mesne  conveyances  the 
said  messuages,  lands  and  rent-charges  had 
become  vested  in  Nicholas  Bushnall  and 
Thomas  Smith  by  survivorship,  they,  the 
said  Bushnall  and  Smith,  granted  and  con- 
veyed the  same  unto  John  Winchcomb 
and  13  others  upon  the  original  trusts. 

The  vicar  and  churchwardens  of  Thatc- 
ham have  continued  to  manage  the  pro- 
perty, and  to  nominate  the  almspeople. 

A  sum  of  £8  iSs.  od.  is  regularly  paid 
in  respect  of  the  estate  called  Moor  Lane 
Farm,  which  lies  partially  in  the  three 
parishes  of  Benham,  Padworth  and  Alder- 
maston,  and  was  vested  in  John  Stephens, 
esq.,  of  Reading,  Banker. 

Of  the  four  tenements,  we  find  that,  a  few 
years  ago,  one  was  pulled  down,  and  on  the 
site  a  National  School  was  erected  in  1828,

for  which  a  ground  rent  of  20*.  per  annum 
is  paid  ;  no  sort  of  agreement  or  lease  of  the 
premises  appears  to  have  been  executed. 

Two  others  were  some  years  ago  burnt 
down,  and  on  the  site  four  new  tenements 
were  erected  at  the  parish  expense  ;  three  of 
these  are  occupied,  rent  free,  by  the  three 
almspeople,  and  the  other  is  let  for  £\  6s.  od. 
per  annum. 

The  fourth  original  tenement  has  lately 
been  converted  into  two,  also  at  the  parish 
expense,  one  of  which,  together  with  the 
three  half-acres  of  land  and  plot  of  meadow, 
is  occupied  by  a  person  named  James  Hunt, 
claiming  kin  to  the  founder,  at  a  rent  of  Ss. 
per  annum.  The  other  is  let  at  the  yearly 
rent  of  £2  1 25.  od.  Four  rights  of  cow- 
common  on  Thatcham  Marsh  belong  to  this 
charity. 

The  income  was  by  these  means  increased, 
and  the  surplus,  after  paying  the  three  alms- 
people  13^.  per  quarter,  and  supplying  them 
annually  with  something  more  than  20 
shillings  worth  of  fuel,  was  at  first  carried  to 
the  general  account  of  the  Parish,  in  con- 
sideration of  the  outlay  in  rebuilding  and 
repairing  the  tenements.  This  debt  being 
liquidated,  a  separate  account  has  been 
kept,  and  there  is  now  in  hand  £2 1  13.?.  $d. ; 
part  of  this  will  be  required  for  repairs;  but 
as  there  is  an  annual  disposable  surplus  of 
more  than  ^5,  we  think  that  the  almspeople 
should  receive  some  additional  advantage  in 
the  shape  of  money,  clothes  or  fuel.

last  year  [1836]  was  as  follows  : —

(e)  Heardsmaris    Gift.  1594. 

On  an  Inquisition,  under  the  Statute  of 
Charitable  Uses,  taken  at  Speen  the  yth 
October,  1652,  it  was  presented  "  that  John 
Herdsman,  late  of  Hampsted  Norris,  clerk, 
being  possessed  in  fee  of  a  certain  tene- 
ment in  Thatcham,  called  the  George,  and 
certain  lands  thereto  belonging,  by  his  Will, 
dated  ist  April,  1594,  gave  the  sum  of  _£& 
yearly  thereout  issuing  to  be  divided  equally 
among  four  poor  persons  of  Thatcham,  to 
be  selected  by  the  vicar  and  the  three  church- 
wardens for  the  time  being,  and  if  they  could 
not  agree  in  the  selection,  then  by  the  Arch- 
deacon of  Berks,  and,  further  that  the  said 
John  Herdsman  died  on  or  about  the  igth 
April,  1594,  but  that  the  said  rent  charge 
had  never  been  paid  ;  and  that  Richard 
Tomlins,  one  of  the  Barons  of  the  Public 
(Exchequer,  had,  for  divers  years  past,  been 
possessed  of  the  said  messuage  and  lands  in 


Thatcham,  which  were  then  of  the  yearly 
value  of  ^40  and  upwards. 

Whereupon  the  Commissioners  made 
their  decree ;  which,  after  exceptions  there- 
to taken  by,  and  a  suit  commenced  against, 
Richard  Tomlins,  was  settled  by  an  Inden- 
ture of  Agreement,  bearing  date  the  ;th 
July,  1653,  between  Richard  Tomlins,  of 
the  one  part,  and  the  then  vicar  and  church- 
wardens of  Thatcham,  of  the  other  part, 
whereby  the  above  rent  charge  of  £6  was 
confirmed  to  the  charitable  uses  above 
mentioned,  and  it  was  agreed  that  the  same 
should  be  paid  on  the  8th  of  March  yearly. 

The  estate  subject  to  this  charge,  situate 
in  Thatcham,  and  commonly  called  Gilbert, 
is  now  vested  in  Mrs.  Gurney,  and  the  annuity 
is  duly  paid.  The  vicar  and  churchwardens 
each  select  one  person  to  whom  305  ' 
given. 


is 


We    find   that,    on    an 

the  statute  of  Charitable  Uses,  taken  at 
Newbury,  i8th  April,  1599,  it  was  presented 
that  ''John  Winchcomb,  late  of  Bucklebury, 
deceased,  either  by  deed  or  will,  did  grant 
and  settle,  to  the  use  of  the  poor  inhabitants 
of  Thatcham  and  Newbury,  one  yearly  rent 
charge  of  ,£3  13^.  4^.  out  of  lands  at 
Newbury,  and  directed  that  his  heir,  on 
coming  of  full  age,  should  assure  the  same 
to  the  said  uses,  to  have  continuance  for 
ever,  which  said  sum,  or  any  part  there- 
of, was  never  paid."  And  it  was  fur- 
ther presented  "  that  Francis  Winchcombe 
was  son  and  heir  of  the  said  John,  and  had 
been  of  full  age  20  years  and  upwards." 

No  notice  of  this  is  taken  in  the  decree 
of  the  Commissioners  of  the  same  date 
with  the  inquisition,  but  by  deed  of  feoff- 
ment  dated  7th  January,  1605,  Francis 
Winchcomb  granted  to  Thomas  Tovye 
and  others  a  certain  messuage  situate  at 


(f)    Winchcombe 's  Gift.      1599. 

Inquisition  under  Newbury,  on  the  west  side  of  Cheap  Street, 
upon  trust  that  the  rent  should  be  yearly  dis- 
posed of  and  employed  towards  the  relief 
of  the  poor  inhabitants  of  Thatcham.  We 
can  find  only  one  transfer  of  this  property, 
which  is  dated  2oth  February,  1627,  where- 
by the  messuage  was  conveyed  to  1 1  parties, 
the  survivor  of  whom  is  not  known. 

This  house  is  now  a  baker's  shop,  and 
let  from  year  to  year  to  Mr.  Waite,  at  a 
fair  yearly  rent  of  £16. 

The  amount  is  distributed  yearly  by  the 
churchwardens  among  all  the  poor  in  six- 
pennies.  Last  year  1080  men,  women  and 
children,  received  6d.  each.  Being  clearly 
of  opinion  that  this  indiscriminate  distri- 
bution is  more  hurtful  than  beneficial,  we 
recommended  the  churchwardens  to  select 
the  most  deserving  objects,  and  in  future  to 
dispose  of  the  rents  in  larger  sums  of 
money,  or  in  fuel  or  clothing.

(g)   Goddard  's  Bequest. 

Thomas  Goddard,  by  Will,  dated  2  3rd  ham,  called  Great  and  Little  Jacknells, 
November,  1680,  devised  to  John  Goddard  subject  to  the  payment  of  20*.  yearly  on 
all  those  his  messuages  and  lands  in  Crook-  Christmas-day;  15*.,  part  thereof,  to  be

given  to  the  poor  people  inhabiting  God- 
dard's  tithing,  in  the  Parish  of  Thatcham, 
and  the  remaining  5*.  to  the  poor  dwelling 
in  that  part  of  the  same  parish  called  the 
Borough,  at  the  discretion  of  the  vicar  and 
churchwardens. 

The  premises  subject  to  this  charge  are 

(h)  Northway 's 

William  North  way,  by  Will  dated  251)1 
Novr.  1820,  gave  to  the  churchwardens  and 
overseers  of  the  poor  of  the  parish  of  Thatc- 
ham the  sum  of  ,£500  Three  per  cents., 
upon  trust,  to  divide  one  moiety  of  the 
dividends  thereof  equally  amongst  the  three 
oldest  single  poor  men  of  Thatcham,  and  to 
lay  out  the  remaining  moiety  in  the  pur- 
chase of  bread,  and  to  distribute  the  same 
to  the  poor  on  St.  Thomas'  day  yearly  for 
ever.  He  further  desired  that  the  income 
of  this  fund  should  be  applied  to  the  afore- 
said purposes,  by  his  Executor,  William 
Northway,  during  his  life,  and,  after  his 
decease,  by  the  churchwardens  and  over- 
seers ;  and  then  an  account  of  the  parties 
receiving  the  bounty  should  be  entered  in 
a  book  provided  for  that  purpose. 

(i)   Sar good's 

John  Sargood,  by  Will,  proved  26th 
August,  1826,  gave  to  his  Executors,  John 
Withers,  John  Tutty,  Richard  Tutty,  and 
Henry  Smith  the  sum  of  £  too,  then  standing 
in  the  Navy  five  per  cents.,  upon  trust  to 
divide  the  interest  thereof  equally  among 
the  six  poor  widows  dwelling  in  Loundyes' 
Almshouses,  on  the  2oth  March  yearly  for 
ever.  The  first  distribution,  under  the 
above  bequest,  took  place  in  1830;  the 


now  vested  in  Joseph  Arundel,  and  the 
annuity  duly  paid.  It  is  not  exactly  known 
what  part  of  Thatcham  is  included  in  God- 
dard's  tithing  ;  but  the  2os.  is  given  to  the 
necessitous  poor  generally,  at  the  discretion 
of  the  vicar. 

Bequest.      1820. 

The  executor  of  this  Will,  Mr.  William 
Northway,  is  still  living,  and  applies  the 
dividends  of  the  stock  (reduced  by  the 
payment  of  legacy  duty  to  ^450)  to  the 
purposes  directed  by  the  Testator,  and  the 
fund  is  standing  in  his  single  name.  We 
have  thought  it  proper  to  direct  him  to 
transfer  the  stock  to  any  four  individuals, 
respectable  inhabitants  of  Thatcham,  in 
trust,  "to  permit  him,  during  his  life,  to 
receive  the  dividends,  and  dispose  thereof, 
as  directed  by  the  Testator,  and,  after  his 
decease,  to  pay  the  same  to  the  church- 
wardens and  overseers  for  the  time  being, 
for  the  same  purposes."

This  Stock  (now  ,£105  New  3^  per 
cents.)  is  standing  in  the  names  of  the  above 
mentioned  parties,  and  the  dividends,  ^3 
13.1-.  6d.,  are  received  by  Mr.  Wm.  Withers, 
and  by  him  paid  over  to  the  churchwardens, 
who  divide  the  same  equally  among  the 
six  widows,  on  the  2oth  March  every  year.

doth  hereby  direct  and  declare  her  meaning 
to  be  that  the  sum  of  ^3  the  residue  and 
remainder  of  the  said  yearly  rent  charge  of 
^53  shall  from  time  to  time  and  at  all  times 
be   disposed   off  and    applied    for  the  last 
mentioned   purposes    that    is   to    say   forty 
shillings  part  thereof  if  needfull  in  repairing 
the  said  school  and  the  remainder  sum  of 
twenty  shillings   in  providing   a   dinner   or 
other  refreshment  for  the  trustees  who  shall 
meet  to  visit  the   said  school  and  to  take

shall  seem  best  to  answer  the  trusts  hereby 
intended    concerning    the  same   And    it  is 
hereby  provided  and  the  said  Lady  ffrances 
Winchcombe  doth  by  these  presents  declare

that    when    it   shall    so   happen   that  any   4 
of  the  aforesaid  trustees  shall  be  dead  that

Summary  of  the  preceding  endowment. 

[From  the  Reports  of  Commissioners  on  Charities  and  Education,  I  and  2,  1819.     Thatcham, 
liucklebury,  and  East  Shefford.] 


Lady  Frances  Winchcomb,  by  deed 
dated  30*''  June,  1707,  gave  to  trustees 
a  parcel  of  ground  in  Chapel  Street,  in 
the  parish  of  Thatcham,  together  with 
a  decayed  chapel  standing  thereon,  which 
she  had  directed  to  be  repaired,  in  trust 
to  stand  seised  for  the  use  of  a  school- 
master, and  for  30  poor  boys  to  be  edu- 
cated therein  ;  and  she  also  gave  to  the  same 
trustees  a  rent  charge  of  53/.  issuing  out 
of  the  manor  farm  and  grange  ot  Thornhill, 
in  the  parish  of  St.  Mary  Westport,  Wilts, 
and  out  of  a  close  of  meadow  or  pasture 
ground,  in  the  deed  of  endowment  men- 
tioned, in  trust  to  pay  2o/.  part  thereof 
to  the  schoolmaster  for  the  time  being, 
who  was  to  be  appointed  by  herself  during 
her  lifetime,  and  after  her  decease,  upon 
any  vacancy,  by  her  trustees  ;  in  consi- 
deration of  which  salary  the  schoolmaster 
was  to  teach  gratis  30  poor  boys  of  Buckle- 
bury,  Thatcham  and  Little  Shefford,  Berks, 
reading,  writing  and  casting  accounts. 
And  she  directed  that  ao/.  other  part 
of  the  said  rent  charge  of  53/.  should  be 


divided  into  three  equal  parts  by  the 
trustees,  and  disposed  of  in  apprentic- 
ing three  poor  boys,  to  be  nominated  by 
her  during  her  life,  and  afterwards  by 
her  trustees;  and  she  also  directed  that 
io/.  other  part  of  the  said  53^.  should 
be  laid  out  by  the  trustees  in  buying 
Bibles,  Common  Prayer  books,  the  "  Whole 
Duty  of  Man,"  and  other  useful  books 
for  the  said  poor  scholars.  And  she 
also  directed,  that  of  the  remaining  3/. 
parcel  of  the  said  53/.  the  sum  of  40*. 
should  be  applied  for  repairs  of  the  school 
and  zos.  for  the  refreshment  of  the  trustees 
at  an  annual  meeting  to  be  held  for  pass- 
ing the  accounts  and  other  matters  respect- 
ing the  charity ;  and  she  gave  a  power 
to  the  trustees  to  make  rules  for  the  govern- 
ment of  the  school ;  and  also  a  power 
for  the  appointment  of  seven  persons  of 
the  communion  of  the  church  of  England  as 
trustees,  upon  the  death  of  any  four  trustees. 
The  Estate  out  of  which  the  rent  charge 
issues  is  now  in  the  occupation  of  Mr. 
Stephen  Neat.  The  school  appears  to

have  been  opened  about  the  year  1713, 
and  continued  open  a  few  years ;  but  in 
consequence  of  the  attainder  of  Lord  Bo- 
lingbroke,  who  was  owner  of  the  estate 
charged,  and  also  sole  surviving  trustee 
of  the  school,  the  affairs  of  the  Charity 
came  under  the  direction  of  the  Court 
of  Chancery.  In  1741,  arrears  were  re- 
covered sufficient  to  purchase  i  ,4o6/.  gs.  fd. 
old  South  Sea  annuities,  but  no  further 
proceedings  were  had  towards  the  esta- 
blishment of  the  school,  until  by  a  decree 
of  that  court,  dated  26th  July,  1793,  a 
scheme  was  confirmed  on  the  Chancery 
Master's  report  by  which  the  schoolmaster's 
salary  was  fixed  at  -  ,£50 

per  annum  for  the  education  of  40  boys.

The   school   was   reopened   on   the   24th 


June,  1794,  and  is  now  administered  accord- 
ing to  the  above  mentioned  decree  of  Chan- 
cery. The  parish  of  Little  Shefford  however, 
by  reason  of  its  distance,  being  six  miles  from 
the  school,  derives  no  benefit  from  the 
Charity ;  and  the  Chapelries  of  Greenham 
and  Midgham,  part  of  the  parish  of  Thatc- 
ham,  which  have  distinct  poor  rates  and 
overseers,  are  considered  as  not  entitled 
to  send  children  to  the  school ;  these 
chapelries  have  no  endowed  school,  but 
it  does  not  appear  that  they  have  ever 
claimed  to  participate  in  the  Charity. 

Forty  boys  are  clothed  and  educated ; 
the  schoolmaster  teaches  them  upon  the 
Madras  system,  and  educates  in  addition 
40  or  50  boys  ;  in  consideration  of  which 
he  receives  to/.  los.  per  annum  raised 
by  subscription. 

The  boys  are  taught  reading,  writing, 
and  arithmetic  :  and  five  or  six  of  those 
on  the  foundation  are  annually  apprenticed, 
with  a  fee  of  io/.  It  is  difficult  to  find 
masters  for  so  small  a  premium.  By  the 
scheme  of  1793,  the  fee  was  not  to  exceed 
i5/.  ;  the  applications,  however,  were  so 
numerous,  that  it  became  necessary  to  re- 
duce it  to  io/.,  and  now,  when  the  premium 
exceeds  io/.  (as  it  generally  does)  the 
parents  of  the  boys  pay  the  excess.  The 
funds  are  not  sufficient  to  apprentice  all 
the  boys  who  leave  the  school ;  those  who 
are  not  apprenticed  receive  i/.  or  more 
to  fit  them  out  for  service.

fecit  homagium  suum  dicto  domino  Abbat' 
pro  manerio  predicto  tenendo  de  eo  et  de 
ecclesia  Radyng'  predicta,  et  facto  homagio 
immediate  fecit  feodalitatem  suam  prout 
decet  dicto  domino  pro  manerio  antedicto

In  the  historical  acco*  of  the  Saxon  and 
English  versions  prefixed  to  the  Revd.  H. 
H.  Baber's  Edit".,  p.  Ixix,  he  says,  "  Though 
all  these  MSS.  lay  claim  to  the  title  of 
Wiclifs  English  version  of  the  Bible,  yet 


there  are  a  few  amongst  them  wh  differ  so 
materially  from  the  rest,  as  to  warrant  the 
assertion  that  we  enjoy  two  ancient  English 
translations  of  the  Scriptures.  In  some 
passages  we  trace  no  other  similarity  be- 
twixt these  versions  than  that  wh  arises  from 
the  circumstance  of  their  being  made  from 
one  common  original,  the  Latin  Vulgate ; 
but  in  general  we  discover  features  of  resem- 
blance between  them  so  numerous  and  so 
striking,  that  it  is  most  clear  that  the  author

of  the  Latin  translation  not  only  saw,  but 
copied  very  freely  from  that  which  had  been 
previously  completed.  Judging  from  the 
greater  rudeness  of  the  language,  I  conceive 
this  to  be  the  earlier;  and  I  think  it  very 
probable  that  it  was  Wickliffe's  first  attempt 
and  subsequently  revised  and  polished  by 
himself  or  his  disciples ;  which  would  ac- 
count for  the  features  of  resemblance  above 
remarked.  If  this  opinion  be  correct  it 
leaves  with  him  the  whole  merit  of  first 
translating  the  scriptures  into  English. 


The  volume  is  beautifully  written,  and  the 
initial  letters  of  each  book  and  chapter 
are  illuminated.  There  are  no  prologues. 
It  ends,  '  Here  endif  \  apocalips.  Blessede 
be  fe  holy  trinite  Amen.'  It  has  been  in  the 
possession  of  Reynolds,  bishop  of  Norwich 
1670,  as  appears  by  his  autograph  on  the 
top  of  the  ist  page,  '  Ed  Reynolds  ex  dono 
D.  Gulielmj  Simonson,  Coll.  Merton,  Socij.' 
On  the  reverse  of  the  last  leaf  is  engrossed

Mr.  Thomas  Duffus  Hardy  the  keeper 
of  the  Records  in  the  Tower  says  the  MS. 


is  of  the  time  of  Richard  II.,  or  Henry  IV., 
and  therefore  certainly  coeval  with  Wick- 
liffe.  The  volume  measures  rof  inches 
by  7|.  The  acts  of  the  Apostles  follows 
the  four  Gospels,  then  the  Epistles  of  James, 
Peter,  John  and  Jude  ;  those  by  S'.  Paul, 
and  the  Apocalips,  concluding  the  book. 
V  This  is  supposed  to  be  the  earliest 
version  of  the  New  Testament  in  the 
English  language.  It  is  now  printing 
for  the  first  time  and  will  be  published 
by  Mr.  Pickering,  Piccadilly. 

The  preface  by  Mr.  Lea  Wilson  to  this 
Catalogue  is  dated  "  Norwood,  Surrey, 
March  5"'  1845."  It  was  published  by 
Pickering  in  1848. 

[In  Vol.  i.  p.  62  of  "The  Bibles  of  John 
Wycliffe  and  his  followers,"  published  at 
Oxford,  1850,  a  brief  description  of  the  MS. 
is  also  given.] 

The  MS.  was  subsequently  acquired  and  for  many 
years  held  byi  the  Earl  of  Ashburnham.  It  now 
belongs  to  the  John  Rylancls'  Library  at  Man- 
chester.

APPENDIX    LXIX. 

The   Case  of  Thomas  Ladd  and  Richard  Maunsell,       1607. 
[From  Bodl.,  4to.,  F.  13  Th.] 


"  The  Argument  of  Master  Nicholas 
Fuller  in  the  case  of  Tho8  Lad  and  Richd 
Mavnsell  his  clients,  wherein  it  is  plainly 
proved  that  the  Eccles1  Comr8  have  no 
power  by  vertue  of  their  commission  to 
imprison,  to  put  to  the  oath  ex  officio,  or  to 
fine  any  of  his  Maiesties  subjects." 

THE  CASE. 
Tho8  Lad   a   marchant  of  Yarmouth  in 


Norfolke  was  brought  before  the  Chancellor 
of  Norwich  for  a  supposed  conventicle  ;  be- 
cause that  he,  on  the  sabbath  dayes  after 
the  sermons  ended,  sojourning  in  the  house 
of  Mr.  Lackler  in  Yarmouth,  who  was  late 
Preacher  of  Yarmouth,  joyned  with  him  in 
repeating  of  the  substance  and  heads  of  the 
sermons  that  day  made  in  the  church,  at 
which  Tho"  Lad  was  usually  present,  and 
was  forced  upon  his  oath  to  answer  certain 


APPENDICES  TO  BOOK  IV. 


257 


articles  touching  that  meeting  which  he 
could  not  see  until  he  was  sworne  ;  and 
having  ansd  upon  his  oath  twice  before  the 
Chancelor  there  he  was  brought  to  Lambeth 
before  the  Ecclesiastical  Commissioners  to 
make  a  further  ansr  upon  a  new  oath  touching 
the  supposed  conventicle ;  wh  he  refused  to 
doe  without  the  sight  of  his  former  answers 
(because  he  was  charged  with  perjury) ;  and 
therefore  was  imprisoned  by  the  Commis- 
sioners a  long  time  and  could  not  be  bayled, 
whereupon  the  writ  of  Habeas  corpus  was 
granted  out  of  the  Kings  Bench  to  bring  the 
prisoner  to  the  Barr. 

Richard  Maunsell  the  other  prisoner  being 
a  Preacher  was  charged  to  have  been  a  par- 
taker in  a  petition  exhibited  to  the  nether 
house  of  the  Parliament  and  for  refusing  to 
take  the  oth  ex  officio  to  answer  to  certayne 
articles  which  he  could  not  be  permitted  to 
see.  He  was  imprisoned  by  the  Commis- 
sioners at  Lambeth,  where  he  remayned 
very  long  and  could  not  be  bayled  and  was 
brought  to  the  barr  upon  the  writt  of  Habeas 
corpus. 

These  imprisonments  of  Thomas  Lad  and 
Richard  Maunsell  by  the  Commissioners  for 
the  supposed  contempts  aforesaid  were  un- 
lawful! (as  the  said  Nich"  Fuller  said)  and 
therefore  he  sayd  that  the  prisoners  ought 
to  be  discharged  ;  and  before  he  began  his 
argument  he  the  sayd  Nich8  Fuller  did 
confesse  that  it  was  a  blessed  thing  in  all 
kingdomes  to  have  the  Church  and  the  Com- 
monwealth to  agree  together  as  Hippocrates' 
twinnes,  and  the  meanes  to  continue  a  per- 
fect agreem'  between  them  was  (as  he  sayd) 
to  give  to  Caesar  that  wh  is  Cxsar's  and  to 
God  that  wh  is  God's,  which  right  distribu- 
tion of  the  jurisdiction  of  the  Ch:  in  Eng- 
land and  jurisdiction  of  the  common  lawes 
in  England  sett  forth  and  proved  upon  good 
groundes  of  the  auntient  lawes  and  statutes 
of  the  Realme  wd  (as  he  thought)  continue  a 
peace  betn  the  Church  and  common  wealth 
of  Engld  for  ever  wh  he  desired  from  his  heart 
and  it  was  his  labor  to  effect  by  this  his 
argument,  wherein  for  the  better  understand- 
ing of  his  purpose  and  drift  of  his  argum*  he 
did  divide  the  same  into  5  partes. 

i.     And  (first  because  the  Eccles1  Com- 


mission is  grounded  upon  the  statute  of 
anno  i  Elizth  cap.  i  the  title  and  intent  of 
which  statute  is  the  restoring  to  the  Crown 
the  ancient  jurisdiction  over  the  Ecclesiasti- 
cal spiritual  establishment,  and  the  abolish- 
ing of  all  forreyne  jurisdiction  repugnant 
to  the  same)  he  declared  what  the  antient 
spirituall  jurisdiction  was  which  was  ment 
in  that  act  to  be  restored  and  by  the  Com- 
missioners to  be  exercised,  and  therein  he 
proved  that  the  power  to  imprison  subjects, 
to  fine  them,  or  to  force  them  to  accuse  them- 
selves upon  their  owne  enforced  oathes,  there 
being  no  accuser  knowne,  was  no  parte  of 
the  auncient  ecclesiasticall  jurisdict"  before 
the  statute  of  2  Hen.  4  cap.  15  which  was 
procurred  by  the  Popish  Prelats. 

2.  That  the  Stat.  of  2   Hen.  4  cap.  1 5  w1' 
first  gave   authority   to  the  Bishops  to  im- 
prison subjects,  fine  them,  and  force  them 
to  accuse  themselves  was  procured  by  the 
popish  Prelates  in  the  time  of  darknes  (if 
not  without  a  full  consent  of  the  commons 
yet  to  their  great  mislike)  and  that  the  sayd 
Statute  and   everything  in    the    same    con- 
teyned,  is  revoked,  as  being  against  the  rule 
of  equitie  and  common  justice,  and  against 
the  lawes  of  the  land  and  very  hatefull  to 
all  the  subjectes  of  the  Realme ;  and  in  that 
2nd  parte  he  proved,  according  to  the  words 
of  the  Statute  that  the  oath  ex  officio  was 
against  the  law  of  England  and  against  the 
rule  of  equitie  and  justice. 

3.  That  the  lawes  of  England  are  the  high 
inheritance  of  the  Realme,  by  which  both 
the  King  and  the  subjects  are  directed,  And 
that  such  grants  Charters  and  commissions 
as  tend  to  charge  the  body,  lands  or  goods 
of  the    subjects  otherwise    then   according 
to  the  due  course  of  the  lawes  of  the  Realme, 
are  not  lawful!,  or  of  force  unless  the  same 
charters  and  commissions  doe  receave  life 
and  strength  from  some  Act  of  Parliament. 

4.  That  in  this  Commission  Fcclesiasticall 
there  are  some  thinges  tending  to  charge  the 
body  lands  and  goods  of  the  subjects  other- 
wise then  according  to  the   course  of  the 
lawes  of  the  Realme ;  and  especially  in  im- 
prisoning them,   fyning  them,  and   forcing 
them  to  accuse  themselves  (upon  their  own 
oath)  without  any  accuser. 


VOL.    II.

APPENDICES  TO  BOOK  IV. 


5.  That  the  Act  of  Parliament  of  anno 
i  Elizth  cap.  i  whereupon  the  Ecclesiasticall 
commission  is  founded  doth  not  give  life  or 
strength  to  such  partes  of  the  commission  as 
concerne  imprisonment  of  subjectes,  fyning 
them,  or  forcing  them  to  accuse  themselves, 
but  doth  make  voyd  and  abolish  the  same 
as  repugnant  to  the  ancient  ecclesiastical 
jurisdiction  which  by  the  Statute  was  to  be 
restored.  And  so  he  sayd  that  the  imprison- 
ment of  his  clients  was  unlawfull  and  the  pro- 
ceeding of  the  Commissioners  upon  the  oath 
ex  officio,  without  an  accuser,  not  warranted 
by  law  but  erroneous  and  voyd. 

Upon  all  which  matters  he  did  conclude 
that  altho'  the  Commission  be  of  force  to 
execute  the  auncient  jurisdiction  over  the 
ecclesiasticall  and  spirituall  estate,  yet  be- 
cause this  commiss"  and  the  proceedings  of 
the  Com™  did  much  vary  from  the  course 


of  the  ould  common  lawes  of  England  ex- 
pressed in  the  Statute'of  42  Edw.  III.  cap.  3 
and  from  the  auncient  jurisdiction  Ecclesi- 
asticall ;  for  that  no  pretended  custome 
against  those  statutes  wh  prohibite  such 
kind  of  proceeding  can  be  of  force ;  and 
especially  for  that  the  act  of  Parliament  of 
i  Eliz'h  did  not  give  life  or  strength  to  the 
sayd  commission  in  those  parts  so  varying  ; 
but  the  contrary ;  therefore  he  did  hold 
the  proceeding  of  the  ecclesiasticall  comr" 
against  the  subjectes,  by  force  of  the  sayd 
commission  in  these  poyntes,  to  be  voyd, 
and  erroneous  according  to  the  wordes  of  the 
sayd  statute  42  Edw.  III.  and  did  humblie 
pray  that  his  clients  may  be  discharged  from 
their  imprisonment,  and  the  subjects  freed 
from  such  erroneous  proceedings  too,  too 
heavie  and  burdensome  to  them.

John  Smyth  of  Thacham  complains 
against  Alexander  Chamberlayn  in  a  plea 
of  debt,  and  the  said  Alexander  is  sum- 
moned and  does  not  come,  therefore  he 
is  bound  against  the  next  [court]. 

John  Wyk  of  Rucklebury  (Borghelf)  com- 
plains against  the  said  Alexander  in  a  plea 
of  trespass  and  the  said  Alexander  is  at- 
tached by  his  surety,  William  Laubel,  who 
has  not  got  him,  therefore  the  said  surety 
is  in  mercy,  and  there  is  nothing  [to  answer 
the  suretyship],  the  bailiff  is  ordered  to 
distrain  the  said  Alexander  against  the  next

Alexander  in  a  plea  of  trespass,  and  the  said 
Alexander  is  attached  by  the  sureties  Wil-

at  the  lord's  will  according  to  the  custom  of 
the  manor,  by  all  charges,  works,  rents,  &c., 
therefrom  due ;  for  fine  and  entry  he  gives 
the  lord  48^.,  &c.  ;  Provided  always  and 
agreed  between  the  lord  and  Richard  that 
whereas  Richard  in  the  former  copy  was 
named  second,  that  his  wife  at  the  time  of 
his  death  shall  not  have  any  estate  or  interest 
by  her  widowhood  in  the  premisses  by  reason 
of  this  copy  which  she  ought  to  have  had  by 
virtue  of  the  former  copy,  because  it  was  so 
ordered  by  Alexander  Choke,  esq.,  by  direc- 
tion of  Sir  John  Popham,  Kt.,  Chief  Justice 
of  England,  by  virtue  of  a  royal  commission 
to  him  and  others  directed.

the  Court  and  in  presence  of  John  Hawkyns, 
Master  Davyes,  rector  of  Shefford,  and  Mas- 
ter Watkyns,  rector  of  Frylsham,  friends  of 
John,  according  to  the  ordinance  of  the  last 
Court,  surveyed  the  close  called  Brasiers,  and 
John's  evidences  to  his  pretended  title  to 
parcel  thereof ;  and  upon  view  of  the  close, 
hearing  John,  and  evidences  concerning  the 
close,  they  present  that  John,  for  anything 
shown  by  him  or  brought  to  the  notice  of 
the  homage,  has  not  nor  ought  to  have  any 
part  of  the  close  as  his  free  tenement.  And 
as  to  the  lands  in  the  common  field  of  Midge- 
ham,  lately  in  question  between  the  lord 
and  the  said  John,  the  lord  afterwards  re- 
covered them  at  the  common  law.

a  free  tenant,  sold  his  lands  as  is  said  and 
afterwards  died,  but  to  whom  the  lands  were

therefore  desired  to  better  inform  them- 
selves before  the  next  Court. 

1615. 

m.  3(1.  The  homage  present  that  one 
Gobert  since  the  feast  of  St.  John  the

hereditary  lords  and  that  Thomas  Laylie, 
junior,  about  the  same  feast  day  unlawfully 
took  fishes  called  crafishes  in  the  same 
waters,  and  that  Richard  Marshall  of  Thatc- 
ham  about  the  same  day  walked  (ambula- 
vit)  by  the  waters  of  the  lord  for  the  purpose 
of  taking  fishes  with  a  little  spear  (hasiula) 
called  an  angle ;  It  was  therefore  ordered 
that  all  the  tenants  of  the  lord  on  the 
second  Friday  after  Michaelmas  Day  next 
should  assemble  and  by  equal  portions 
place  piles  and  stakes  [stipites]  in  the  lord's 
waters  so  that  those  who  are  accustomed 
to  take  fishes  there  may  be  prevented. 


Ordered  that  John  Burges  before  Mi- 
chaelmas Day  next  remove  Thomas  Kente 
and  his  wife  and  family  from  the  cottage  in 
which  they  live  within  the  manor  as  under- 
tenant of  John  under  the  penalty  of  los. 
And  that  John  Burges  and  his  sub-tenant 
after  this  Court  before  they  inhabit  the 
cottage  again  shall  be  bound  to  William 
Waller  the  farmer  of  the  manor  house  in 
10^.  that  they,  John  Burges,  and  his  sub- 
tenants of  the  cottage  shall  hold  the  parish 
of  Thatcham  and  the  neighbourhood  of 
Colthrop  indemnified  against  the  sub-ten- 
ant and  his  wife  and  children  becoming 
paupers  and  chargeable  to  the  same  place. 
And  now  it  is  agreed  between  the  lord  and 
the  said  John,  and  is  ordered  by  the  Court 
with  the  consent  of  the  aforesaid  John,  that 
if  the  said  John  Burges  or  his  under-tenants 
or  any  of  them  shall  make  default  that 
immediately  the  cottage  shall  be  pulled 
down  without  any  objection  of  the  said 
John  or  his  sub-tenants.  And  further  that 
the  said  John  or  his  under-tenants  will  not 
turn  on  the  common  any  beasts,  besides 
pigs,  geese,  yearlings,  and  cocks  and  hens,

lord  from  pasturing  on  the  common.

for  7  years,  if  he  live  so  long.  The  lord 
pardoned  William  the  fine  for  this  license, 
saving  always  to  the  lord  and  his  heirs  all 
rents,  &c.,  hereafter  due.

the  lands  by  the  law  of  England  descended 
to  Grace,  now  the  wife  of  Richard  Tomlyn, 
Esq.,  and  Avis,  the  daughters  and  heirs 
of  Thomas  Tovie ;  and  that  Richard  Tom-

And  that  John  Brooks  about  the  2oth 
March  last  cut  the  branches  of  one  Elm 
formerly  planted  on  the  waste  of  the  lord 
next  the  house  in  which  John  lived,  to  the 
value  of  zd.  And  because  a  servant  of 
William  Knight  had  previously  cut  some 
other  boughs  of  the  same  tree  in  right  of 
the  lord  and  the  said  John  Brooks  here  in 
Court  to  make  amends  for  his  transgres- 
sion paid  to  the  lord  id.,  therefore  his 
transgression  is  forgiven. 

1620. 

m.  2.  Reliefs  due  on  death  or  alienation 
of  Thomas  Tovie,  clerk,  on  alienation  by  Sir 
Francis  Popham  to  John  Curr  not  paid. 
Enquiry. 

1621.      October  23   [18  James  I.]. 

m.  i.  John  Burges  and  Agnes  his  wife, 
because  they  did  not  permit  Robert  Tull 
to  live  in  a  cottage  by  the  common  pound 
according  to  a  condition  mentioned  at  the 
last  Court — have  not  paid  the  rent  accord- 
ing to  a  second  condition — and  have  not 
repaired  the  said  cottage  according  to  a 
third  condition — but  this  very  day  before 
the  Court  began  have  received  into  the  said 
cottage  one  Richard  Horneblow  lately  at- 
tainted of  felony  and  now  of  evil  repute ; 
therefore  the  possession  of  John  and  Agnes 
and  their  assigns  in  the  premisses  ceases 
from  now.  And  it  is  now  agreed  between 
them,  the  lord  and  Vincent  Mackrell,  that

if  John  and  Agnes  live  so  long,  paying  the 
lord  5.r.  yearly  at  the  Annunciation  and 
Michaelmas,  and  to  John  and  Agnes  los. 
yearly,  the  first  payment  to  commence  at 
the  first  of  those  feasts  after  Hornblow  and 
his  family  are  removed  from  the  cottage. 
If  Agnes  survive  John  she  shall  re-enter  and 
hold  the  cottage  for  her  life  by  the  above 
rent  of  55.  But  because  Vincent  in  this 
same  Court  afterwards  refuses  so  to  hold 
and  repair  the  premisses  and  to  relinquish 
them  to  Agnes  after  his  repairs  so  done, 
the  above  agreement  ceases.  Let  entry  into

the  premisses  be  made  on  behalf  of  the  lord 
and  conference  be  had  with  the  lord's

course here  runs  over  the  manor  and  upon 
the  way  there  to  the  prejudice  of  the  lord,

Tovie  by  what  title  he  holds.

husband,  who  held,  &c.,  one  cottage  and 
curtilage  and  4  acres  of  meadow  land,  is 
admitted  tenant  during  widowhood,  and 
because  it  was  not  found  that  mention  was 
made  of  the  death  of  said  John  in  the

manor,  and  the  bailiff  is  to  give  notice  to

his  hedge  nor  cut  the  branches  of  the  willows 
growing  in  his  hedge  between  Hitchman's

since  last  court,  the  best  animal  or  good  is 
due  for  heriot,  but  what  it  is  is  not  known, 
as  she  died  at  Cheveley  without  the  manor. 
The  homage  offered  the  steward  further  to 
present  that  Margaret's  executor  ought  to 
enjoy  the  premisses  for  a  certain  term  called 
an  "  executor's  yere."  But  as  no  executor 
or  administrator  appeared,  no  heriot  appears, 
and  the  lord  is  not  present  at  this  Court, 
examination  of  the  premisses  as  to  a  heroit 
and  "  an  executor's  year "  is  by  the  Steward 
deferred  to  the  next  court,  and  he  commands

Because  the  beasts  called  '  Rotherbeasts  ' 
have  lately  done  great  destruction  of  the 
quick  (jiiventiifni)  hedges  in  or  by  the 
common  lanes  of  Colthrop,  the  Court  orders 
that  no  tenant  or  inhabitant  of  Colthrop 
shall  in  future  permit  any  of  his  beasts 
called  Rotherbeasts  to  go  at  large  and  feed 
in  the  lanes  in  Colthrop  on  penalty  of  i2</. 
for  each  beast  each  time. 

1631.  October  22  [7  Charles  I.]. 

Essoins.  John  Winchcombe,  esq.,  free 
tenant  essoined  by  the  Court  because  he  is 
in  the  prison  of  our  lord  King  called  the 
Fleet Elizabeth  and  Dorothy  Ferry- 
man, heirs  of  Richard  Ferryman,  deceased, 
free  tenant,  essoined  by  John  Aberie  their 
sub-tenant,  John  Freeman,  free  tenant  of  a 
small  pihtel  of  land  at  Ayshmoore  Green 
essoined  by  Richard  Bushnell,  Thomas  Tull,

by  the  annual  rent  of  id.,  essoined 

Thomas  Burges  resident  (reliant)  and  tenant 
at  will  essoined  by  the  Court  on  account  of 

his   old   age The  wardens  of -the 

parish  church  of  Thacham  who  hold  freely

aforesaid,  as  is  said  by  the  yearly  rent  of 
id.,  suit  of  Court,  &c.,  did  not  appear  at 
this  Court,  and  the  homage  is  commanded 
to  enquire  better  what  the  wardens  aforesaid 
hold  of  the  lord  of  this  manor. 


1632.     October  toth  [8  Charles  I.]. 

m.  isd.  In  presence  of  said  Humfry 
Dolman,  before  John  Dean,  gent.,  Steward 
there. 

The  homage  present  on  the  evidence  of 
John  Aberie  tithingman  that  two  oxen  of  Wil- 
liam Knight's  customary  tenant  in  April  last 
were  feeding  on  and  ate  down  the  shoots  of 
the  quick  hedges  growing  in  and  by  the  com- 
mon lane  of  the  manor  called  London  way 
contrary  to  the  order  of  the  Court  of  28 
October,  6  Car.  I.,  and  that  being  informed 
of  the  premisses  by  Aberie  Knight,  said  he 
would  justify  it.  Therefore  William  forfeits 
the  penalty  of  the  order,  viz.,  2s. 

Richard  Pocock  since  last  Court  placed 
his  sheep  feeding  herbage  and  grass  in 
Pofley  meade,  the  common  meadow,  where 
of  right  he  has  no  pasture  or  common  of 
pasture  but  only  the  first  crop  of  a  parcel 
of  meadow  there,  to  the  prejudice  of  the 
hereditary  lord  and  the  grave  injury  of  the 
lord's  tenants.  Let  conference  be  had  with 
the  lord's  learned  counsel. 

Because  William  Knight,  customary 
tenant,  is  essoined  by  grace  of  the  Court 
because  he  is  ill,  and  so  cannot  prosecute 
the  pretended  custom  of  this  manor  for  an 
executor's  year,  the  matter  is  further  respited 
to  next  Court. 

A  question  arose  whether  a  tenement 
lately  customary  called  Owsell's  situate  at 
Midgeham,  a  free  tenement  there  and  cus- 
tomary tenements  called  Brasiers  and 
another  at  Midgeham,  are  within  the  tithing 
of  this  manor ;  whereof  there  seems  no 
doubt  because  those  tenements  are  parcel 
of  Colthrop  manor  and  the  tenants  thereof 
do  suit  at  the  manor  Court,  and  because 
Richard  Dancastell,  tenant  of  a  tenement 
of  this  manor  situate  at  Henwick,  does  suit 
at  the  Court  of  this  manor  and  did  service 
to  its  tithingman  and  because  his  pre- 
decessors did  the  same.

after  widow's  estate  according  to  our  custom 
and  a  herriot  then  due  to  the  lord  of  the 
manor  " — which  presentment  the  steward,  as 
far  as  in  him  is,  refuses  and  respited  till  the 
lord  himself  be  personally  present  in  Court 
and  till  the  premisses  be  further  examined 
by  the  Court. 

The  homage  arc  ordered  on  St.  Peter's

and  then  and  there  shall  together  view  the 
watercourses  of  Vincent  Mackrell,  Richard 
Calmer  and  Robert  Taylor  by  the  place

and  the  others  sufficiently  scoured  their 
watercourses  before  St.  Andrew's  day  last 
past  according  to  the  order  of  the  last  Court  ; 
each  juror  who  fails  in  the  premisses  to 
forfeit  i  zd.  They  are  also  to  view  and 
present  whether  Robert  Small  sufficiently

waste  grounds  within  the  jurisdiction  of  this 
view  of  frankpledge,  and  to  present  the  names 
of  those  who  ought  to  scour  and  repair  those 
places  in  respect  of  their  tenements. 

1636.  October  24  [12  Car.  I.]. 

m.  1 2.  The  jury  according  to  the  order 
of  the  last  Court  held  24  April,  1 1  Charles  I., 
present  on  oath  that  35.  5^.  cert  money  pay- 
able to  the  lord's  use  yearly  at  Michaelmas 
is  to  be  levied  on  different  tenements  as 
herein  specified.  Also  2d.  was  usually  paid 
from  the  little  cottage  by  the  common  pound 
for  the  collector  of  the  said  several  payments, 
for  his  trouble. 

John  Averie,  a  juror,  here  present  in  Court 
and  now  for  many  years  resident  within  the 


jurisdiction  of  this  view  of  frankpledge,  is 
elected  tilhingman  for  this  next  turn  and  the 
steward  in  full  Court  declares  him  so  elected 
and  thereupon  offers  him  a  New  Testament 
to  take  his  oath  thereupon  for  execution  of 
that  office.  And  the  jury  present  and  the 
steward  records  that  Averie  absolutely  refuses 
in  full  Court  to  take  the  oath  or  exercise  the 
office,  in  contempt  of  the  Court,  and  left  the 
rest  of  the  jury  being  together  at  the  table 
before  the  steward  and  sits  by  the  fire  in  the 
same  house  where  the  Court  was  held,  and 
Averie  though  called  by  proclamation  by 
direction  of  the  steward  did  not  come  to  the 
residue  of  the  jury  before  the  steward  before 
this  Court  ended.  The  steward  imposes  a 
fine  of  53^.  ^d.  on  Averie  for  the  contempt 
aforesaid. 

m.  12.  Thomas  Tull  tenant  by  indenture 
of  tenements  called  Owsells  and  Brasiers  at 
Midgeham,  parcel  of  this  manor,  caused  to  be 
shown  in  Court  a  writing  on  paper,  anglice 
"  Midgeham,  Thomas  Tull,  constable  for 
Owsells,  Thomas  Lewcas,  Tithingman ; "  and 
says  in  Court  that  he  was  thus  elected  con- 
stable at  the  Court  of  view  of  frankpledge 
of  ...  Willascourt,  Esq.,  lately  held  at 

in  co.   Berks,   which    said    Court 

was  lately  acquired  of  the  late  King  James, 
as  it  is  said,  and  Tull  thereupon  pretends  he 
is  discharged  from  the  service  of  the  King 
at  the  view  of  frankpledge  of  this  manor  of 
Colthrop  and  from  the  office  of  tithingman 
there,  in  respect  of  the  tenements  aforesaid  ; 
which  the  steward  of  this  Court  does  not 
hold  sufficient  in  law  to  discharge  Tull  from 
those  services.  Let  conference  be  had  with 
the  lord's  counsel  learned  in  the  law. 

John  Freeman,  free  tenant  of  land  at  Col- 
throp, lives  at  Mapul  Durham,  ten  thousand 
paces  away,  appeared  at  this  Court  and  other 
previous  Courts.  The  lord  at  his  request  of 
his  special  grace  discharges  him  from  attend- 
ance at  the  three  next  Courts  on  payment  of 
id.  for  his  essoin  at  each  of  them. 

Homage  present  that  John  Winchcomb, 
esq.  [deceased]  and  others,  and  the  wardens

m.  i2d.  The  homage  present  for  a  per 
petual  memorial  of  the  matter  that  by  an

old  composition  formerly  made  between  the 
lord  of  this  manor  and  the  inhabitants  of 
Thatcham  one  penny  was  to  be  paid  yearly 
to  the  lord  of  this  manor  for  the  watercourse 
diverted  by  Henly  Corner  upon  the  lord's 
waste  ground  called  Chapel  Marsh.  John 
Averie  ordered  to  demand  and  receive  the 
penny  immediately  after  'each  Michaelmas 
from  the  tithingman  or  any  other  inhabitant 
of  Thatcham. 

A  common  way  is,  and  (for  a  time  that  the 
memory  of  man  runs  not  to  the  contrary)  has 
been,  and  ought  to  be,  through  the  meadow 
called  West  meade  and  through  the  lands 
of  Francis  Biggs  to  the  lane  there,  and  that 
Biggs'  predecessors  made  and  of  right  ought 
to  make  two  little  bridges  on  their  lands  in 
the  way  aforesaid.  Biggs  ordered  to  make 
the  said  little  bridges  before  St.  Andrew's 
Day,  penalty  i2d. 

-  Burd  of  Midgeham  lately  ploughed 
more  than  half  the  land  of  one  "  le  Linchard  " 
in  the  common  field  of  Midgeham  in  two 
places  between  land  in  his  occupation  and 
the  lord's  lands,  and  cut  down  thorn  trees 
growing  on  the  lord's  land  in  both  places, 
and  threw  some  of  the  thorns  on  the  lord's 
land  there  to  the  prejudice  of  the  lord's  in- 
heritance. John  Averie  in  convenient  time 
before  the  next  Court  of  this  manor  shall 
give  Burd  in  the  house  he  inhabits  in  Midge- 
ham notice  of  the  next  Court  day  here,  and 
the  homage  before  the  end  of  that  Court 
shall  survey  the  premisses  and  shall  cause  to 
be  enrolled  at  the  next  Court  the  true  bounds 
between  le  Linchard  belonging  to  the  lord 
and  Burd's  land. 

The  homage  offer  this  presentment,  "  We 
present  an  executor's  year  to  be  holden  after 
widow's  estate  according  to  our  custom," 
which  the  steward  denies  .to  be  true.  Wil- 
liam Knight,  foreman  of  the  jury,  and  the 
rest  assert  to  the  steward  they  are  prepared 
with  their  witnesses  to  prove  the  pretended 
custom  :  the  evidence  of  which  witnesses  in 
full  Court  declared  the  steward  reduced  to 
writing  and  after  the  Court  is  ended  delivered 
it  to  the  lord  for  further  consideration  by 
next  Court.  The  homage  did  not  seek  their 
witnesses  to  be  sworn,  therefore  the  steward 
did  not  minister  the  oath  to  them. 


1647.    November  24. 

M.  ii.  Thomas  Buckeridge,  gent.  [4/.], 
who  diverted  the  watercourse  out  of  its

INDEX     LOCORUM. 


IT  will  be  noticed  that  several  of  the  local  fields,  &c.,  derive  their  name  from  the  owner  or  former  owners. 
For  these  names  the  reader  is  referred  t<»  the  Index  Nominum.  In  some  cases  where  apparently  the  name
