PREFACE.
So many years have passed, since the first sheets of this
volume were committed to the press, that the Editor is
hound to acknowledge with thankfulness the patience with
which the Members of the Camden Society have awaited
its completion. His apology for the delay will be found,
not only in public and private duties which allowed him
little leisure, but also in the fact, which he has mentioned
in the " Introduction," that the work assumed a character
materially different from that which was contemplated,
when he engaged to edit for the Society " The Domesday
of St. Paul's of the year 1222." The pledge then given
would have been redeemed by a brief account of that
Manuscript, a catalogue of names and places, and of its
general contents. But when other documents were added
by way of Appendix to the Domesday, which showed the
relation of the manors to the cathedral as a landed
estate, held to farm by its own members, and occupied
by a tenantry according to the general custom of the age,
it was evident, that the materials, which were thus col-
lected, belonged not to Church history in particular, but
were illustrative of the general history of the Landed
PREFACE.
proprietary of England, as well as of the condition of
those classes who were occupied in the cultivation of the
soil. The work was no longer limited to. one period, the
early part of the thirteenth century, but comprised within
it a documentary history of the Manorial property of the
Cathedral, of its tenures and leases, and of the receipt and
expenditure of the income derived from it during a period
of 150 years, from the middle of the twelfth to the end of
the thirteenth century. The more carefully the Editor
applied himself to the study of each document, as he
compared it with others of an earlier or later period, the
wider was the field of inquiry which was opened to him,
and the more interesting was the result, as the conclusion
was pressed upon him, that the contents of this volume
form a link in the connexion between Anglo-Saxon and
Anglo-Norman society, enabling us to trace back to cen-
turies prior to the Conquest some of the features, by which
agricultural tenures in England continued to be distin-
guished, as late as the end of the fourteenth century.
The Editor has no reason to look back with regret
upon the hours which he has spent in the study and
illustration of this collection of documents, much less
to account them as misemployed. The contemplation
of the peculiar character of society in a remote age,
and the discovering how it agrees with, or differs from,
that in which we ourselves are placed, must always be
instructive to him who believes, that the varied condition
of mankind, in every age and country, is as truly the

work of the Providence of God, as the creation and gene-
ration of man is a proof of His power. It is the aim of
antiquarian study, to learn the history not so much of
individuals as of man, to develop the acts and habits of
nations, to describe the phases of society, and to note the
different conditions, political, social, moral, and religious,
under which the human race has prolonged its existence.
Prom the knowledge of antiquity the historian derives
the light, which lightens the dark places in the vista of
the past. It is this knowledge, which has the telescopic
power of overcoming the distance of time, and of enabling
us to see with distinctness, and to take an enlarged view,
not only of what men have accomplished in past ages,
but also of all that God has done in the world, and how
he has made himself known to man; and, though some
persons may account antiquarian study useless, because
the practice of the past may not, as they think, furnish
us with the knowledge which is now needed, or because
the experience of former times is inapplicable to our
own, there may be still much that is edifying and in-
structive in these pursuits, and which may conduce to
individual, if not to public good. Antiquity may teach
the personal lesson of humility to the ablest lawyer, or
statesman, or divine; for if candidly studied it will show,
that our forefathers were in their age, and under their
circumstances, as wise, and prudent, and learned as we.
are in our own, and that, however inferior they might be
to ourselves in respect of physical science, yet in acute-

ness of perception, in strength of intellect, in the power
of disputation, and in the application and adjustment of
fixed principles of jurisprudence, there are few persons
in this age, who are not surpassed by the lawyers and
divines of ancient times.
These remarks upon the general advantage of anti-
quarian study having been premised, the Editor would
apprise the reader of the particular conclusions, which he
has drawn from the study of the documents here printed,
and which he has endeavoured to a certain extent to
embody in the Introduction, and which are these : that
the Manorial system of England is of purely Anglo-
Saxon origin; that the great mass of the population
was bound to their lords by civil rather than by military
service ; that in the local customs of the Manors may be
discovered the nature of the cultivation of the country,
the different orders of society, and the relation in which
they stood to each other; that one system of juris-
prudence prevailed, which owed its origin, not to the
will of the sovereign, but to the adjustment of rights
acknowledged to exist between man and man ; and that
if the existence of law, and of right, and of well-defined
duties is an evidence of civilisation, it may be fairly
questioned, whether after the cessation of the Roman
power and during the establishment of the Anglo-Saxon
dominion England was ever inhabited by a barbarous
and lawless people.
The Editor has had it in his power to examine only
PREFACE. XI
a few documents belonging to other Cathedrals or to
Monastic bodies ; he has, however, seen enough to con-
vince him, that many Lieger-books and Chartularies still
exist, in which there are very complete records of the
landed property of the Cathedral or Monastery, and which
would throw still clearer light upon the character of the
agricultural population, and the internal condition of
the country.
"With respect to the annotations and illustrations of the
documents in this collection, the Editor has to observe,
that they have taken the form commonly used in editing
classical authors. It is supposed that the reader has
the work before him, and that facts are stated, or words
occur, which can be illustrated by contemporary history,
or by philological research. In attempting in such cases
to fulfil the wishes, or to meet the wants, of the reader,
conjecture must occasionally take the place of certain in-
formation. The Editor has however rarely had recourse
to conjecture without stating his grounds ; and, if he
should have fallen into error, he will be glad to be
instructed by those who are better informed.
There is yet one duty which the Editor has to perform
for the satisfaction of the reader that of describing
the form and character of the manuscripts now for the
first time printed.
It being convenient to take notice of them in an order
different from that in which they are placed in this volume,
the Editor will first address the attention of the reader
xii PREFACE.
to the fragment of the Domesday of Radulphus de
Diceto, which is placed second in order, and is printed
at page 109.
This manuscript is preserved in the Bodleian Library
(Rawlinson, B. 372). The Editor is indebted for the
transcript of it to his friend the Rev. H. O. Cox, the
under-librarian. It consists of only two leaves, written
in double column, upon a larger page and in a
larger hand than the Domesday of 1222, but in the
same character. It is probably a fragment of the Book
B, belonging to St. Paul's, which will be found de-
scribed below as the Great Register of Badulphus de
Diceto.
Pour books now preserved in the archives of St. Paul's
have supplied the other documents in this volume. It
will facilitate the description of them to notice, First,
" The Statuta Majora," from which has been extracted the
Compotus Maneriorum et Firmarum, printed at p. 154.
This is a folio volume of the time of Dean Baudake, in
the early part of the fourteenth century ; its title distin-
guishes it from the Statuta Minora, as being a larger
volume, and written in a larger hand, the contents of both
being nearly the same. The other three books are those
known as Book K, Book I, and Book L, the letters by
which they are distinguished being those which they
bear in Dean Lyseux's Catalogue of the Cartse and
Books of the Cathedral, now remaining in the archives,
which is a book of 144 leaves, the capital letters of which

are rubricated, and of which the following account is given
in the heading of the first page :
" Tabula extracta de Evidentiis in Thesauraria Sci
Pauli London, per Magistruni Thomam Lyseux Decanum,
Anno domini 1447. Et nota, quod litera alphabeti signi-
ficat armariolum signatum exterius cum tali litera, et
numerus sequens significat cofinum vel pixidem signatum
cum tali litera et tali numero."
The former part of the volume is a Catalogue of the
Cartse, as deposited originally in the "Armariola," book-
cases, chests, or boxes. Some thousands of these Cartse
are still preserved. The latter part of the volume con-
tains a list of the Books, sixteen in number ; thirteen
lettered A to N ; one lettered A B ; the remaining two
being the Liber Goodman, and one, not then lettered.
Of these books four only now remain in the Cathedral,
A (the Liber Pilosus), K, I, and L. Of these latter three
the following is a particular account: of the remainder
more is not known, than is contained in the description of
them from Lyseux's Catalogue, as given in the table below.
BOOK K.
This book is printed entire in this volume, as the
Domesday of St. Paul's. It is a thin folio volume, and
has its contents thus described in Dean Lyseux' s Cata-
logue, " Tabula Registri de Visit atione Maneriorum per
XIV PREFACE.
Robertum Decanum, anno domini M.CC.XXII.
cooperti Rubio Corio, Secundo folio, c Laurentius
filius Roberti,' signati cum litera K." It is in
the original binding of red leather here men-
tioned, and it has the words, " Laurentius filius
Roberti" on the top of the second folio, as here de-
scribed. The number of folios is twenty-seven. The
original MS. is written in double columns. Each
column forms a page in this volume, and every
line of the page corresponds with the line of the
column. The manuscript is remarkable, as hav-
ing the folios numbered with Arabic numerals,
written originally from right to left, as in the
margin ; the numbers being afterwards struck
out, and a fresh series written in nearly the same
character, but in the English order, from left to
right.
On the outside of the book is the letter K,
and an inscription which has been erased, but in which
the word Domesday is legible.
BOOK L.
This is a most interesting volume. It is thus described
in Lyseux's Catalogue : " Contenta in quodam antiquo
et notabili Registro, de tempore Will'i Conquestoris,
clauso cum uno nodulo in medio, 2 folio in Rubrica
< Privilegium,' signatus cum litera L." The book in
PREFACE. XV
its present state answers in every respect to the descrip-
tion, except that the nodulus, or button, by which it
was fastened has been taken away. The word " Privi-
legium" is found rubricated on the second folio. No
part of it will bear out the statement of its very early
date, but the first twenty- six folios; the remainder of the
book is of the latter part of the twelfth and thirteenth
centuries. The folios between 56 and 77 are two fasciculi
inserted, 57 to 68 being larger, and 69 to 76 being
smaller, than the original volume, and both of them
written in the fourteenth century.
The portions of this volume printed in this collection,
are
1. The Leases of Manors in the Twelfth Century,
fol. 32, 38, 41, 46.
2. The Inquisition of Manors and Churches in 1181,
fol. 77, 78, 81, 82.
2. The Rental of Lands in the Manor of Belchamp in
1240, fol. 113, 143.
BOOK I.
This book is a thick volume of 180 folios, and is thus
described : " Tabula Registri de visitatione ecclesiarum,

thesauraria, et omnium Cantarioruni et Altarium, signati

availed himself of his reading in this book to illustrate
the Domesday of 1222. The only parts of it, which are

INTRODUCTION.
IT will appear from the Table of Contents, that the present volume
contains a collection of documents which, with one exception, are still
preserved in the Archives of the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's, London,
and which exhibit the nature and extent of the Manorial property belonging
to that body in the 12th and 13th centuries. The volume has, therefore,
assumed a character materially different from that contemplated by the
Editor, when the Council of the Camden Society kindly accepted his offer
to superintend the publication of the document, which stands foremost in
this collection, being " A Domesday of St Paul's," or, as it is otherwise
entitled, "An Inquisition of the Manors of the Chapter of St. Paul's, in
the year 1222," and which had escaped the notice of the former historians
of the Cathedral, Dugdale and Newcourt. For this change no apology is
perhaps necessary ; for, though students of English history, and espe-
cially those who are conversant with the contents of the Exchequer
Domesday, would have highly prized such a document as the St. Paul's
Domesday, though printed alone, the Editor was unwilling to lose the
opportunity, which was so liberally conceded to him by the Camden Society,
of adding to the " Domesday of St. Paul's " those documents of an earlier,
as well as a later period, which he had found among the records of the
Cathedral, which might throw still greater light upon the nature of Manorial
property, by exhibiting the relation which existed between the Chapter as
Lords of the manors, and the Firmarii, their Lessees ; the profit which, in
the way of rent and of produce, accrued to the Chapter from their manors ;
the method in which it was paid ; and the distribution of it amongst the
members of the Cathedral.
The Manors, the history of which, as part of the possessions of the
CAMD. SOC. b
ii INTRODUCTION.
Chapter of St. Paul's, is illustrated by the contents of this volume, are
as follows :
Kadenden, Kenesworth, Sandun, Luffen- , . n the c
hale, Erdeley, /
Beauchamp, Wicham, Adulvesnasa, Tid-
wolditun, Tillingham, Barling, R unwell,
in the county of Essex.
Norton, Nastok, Chingeford,
Sutton and Drayton, in Middlesex.
Bernes, in Surrey.
The order in which they are thus arranged, is that in which they stand
in the Domegday of St. Paul's, of 1222, and in which they were visited,
iu the progress made that year (being the second year after the translation
of Saint Thomas of Canterbury, see p. 85) by Robert de Watford, the
Dean, and Henry de Cornhill, the Chancellor of the church.
The Records of the Cathedral exhibit no conclusive evidence as to the
time or the circumstances under which either the Chapter as a body, or the
Prebendaries as individuals, became possessed corporately and individually
of their lands and manors. The Cathedral has indeed been supposed to
possess charters of Anglo-Saxon kings, JEthelberht, Athelstan, Eadgar, and
Eadward, ranging from the 7th to the llth century, granting to the
Cathedral divers lands and liberties attached thereto. These charters are
Nos. 982, 1126, 1127, 1259, and 913, in that most valuable work the
Codex Diplomaticus of Mr. Kemble. The lands thus said to have been
granted can be traced in the Exchequer Domesday, as belonging to the
Cathedral at the time of the Conquest, and it does not appear that any
addition was made to them at any subsequent period. This circumstance
does not invalidate the charge of spuriousness, which has been adduced
against those charters. Two inferences, however, may fairly be drawn
from it first, that at the time of their fabrication the liberties mentioned
in them as emanating from the bounty of the early kings did exist and were
possessed by the church, as therein indicated ; and secondly, that when
these grants were produced as genuine, the possessions and liberties
mentioned in them had belonged to the church for so long a period, that
such documents might well be used, to account for what had already
become prescriptive by time and usage, and to confirm the tradition which
INTRODUCTION. in
had assigned to a remote period the original acquirement of the property by
the church. The manor of Tillingham, in the hundred of Dengey in the
county of Essex, was accounted the most ancient possession, and the gift
of it ascribed to ^Ethelberht ; that of San dun, Erdeley, Beauchamp,
Wicham, Tidwolditun, Run well, ^dulvesnasa, Dray ton, and Bernes to
Athelstan ; that of Nastok to Eadgar ; and of Barling and Chingeford
to the Confessor Eadward. At whatever period those charters were
written, it is evident that the writers of them knew how to distinguish the
more ancient possessions from those acquired at a later period, namely
Nastok, Kenes worth, and Norton, and upon which the Exchequer Domesday
throws some light. Whether Nastok was originally acquired by purchase, as
described in the charter of Eadgar (No. 1259), may be doubtful ; but the
statement in the Exchequer Domesday that the canons had obtained it "ex
dono Regis " a from William, renders it probable, that the church had already
some rights there, whilst the late possession of Kenesworth and Norton, as
deduced from the same authority, accords with the omission of those places
in the supposititious charters; since we read of Kenesworth, b " Hoc manerium
tenuit Leuwinus cilt de Rege E. ;" and of Norton, that it belonged T. R. E.
to a lady named Godida All the Manors of the Cathedral which were
visited in 1222, and are described in the St. Paul's Domesday of that year,
are mentioned by name in the Exchequer Domesday, Sutton excepted,
which is not there described, except as that part of the Episcopal Manor
of Fulham which was held by the Canons of St. Paul's, which contained
five hides, and was " de victu canonicoruin."
The Domesday of St. Paul's, it must be observed, does not include all
the lands belonging to the Prebendaries of the church, as the endowments
or " corpses " of their Prebends, but only those Manors which formed the
tl Communa," the revenue and produce of which were appropriated to the
support and sustenance of all the members of the Cathedral in regular gra-
dation, from the highest personage, the Dean, to the humblest servitor, the
Doorkeeper of the brewery. It is remarkable that, though the Statutes of
the Cathedral describe the thirty Prebendaries as forming with the Bishop
" unum corpus," of which he is the head, there is no evidence of his sharing
with them any part of the revenue, or of his living in intercourse with them.

IV INTRODUCTION.
The Bishops of London appear to have possessed their Manors in the time
of the Anglo-Saxon kings in their own right, for there are no traces of any
of the Episcopal lands having at any time belonged to the Cathedral. At
what period certain lands were attached to each of the thirty Prebendaries,
and the Manors described in the St. Paul's Domesday separated from the
rest to form the " Communa," is unknown. There is reason to believe
that this apportionment was begun, if not completed, before the Conquest ;
for in the Exchequer Domesday a we read that the Canons Durandus and
Gueri held lands at Twyford, Radulphus at Rugmere, and Walter at Pan-
eras ; and to the Prebend denominated " Consumpta per Mare," lands
were at one time attached in the parish of Walton-le-Soken ; the catastrophe
denoted by the name of the Prebend, having been supposed to occur about
the time of the Conquest. The locality of these Prebendal Manors is
interesting. They are remarkable as much for their distance from as for
their proximity to London. Thus we find two Prebends in Bedfordshire,
now called Caddington Major and Caddington Minor, adjoining the Chapter
Manor of Cadendon in Herts, but which originally were one Manor belong-
ing to the Chapter ; b the Prebends of Sneating and Consumpta per Mare
are in Walton-le-Soken in the hundred of Tendring in Essex, within
the manor of Adulvesnasa ; the Prebends of Ealdland, Weldland, and
Reculverland, are at Tillingham in Dengy hundred, in the same county ;
the prebend of Chiswick is in Middlesex. Of the remainder of the Pre-
bends, twenty-two in number, no less than nine are at Willesdon in
Middlesex : viz , Willesdon, Bromesbury, Brownswood, Chamberlain
Wood, Mapesbury, Neasdon, Harleston, Oxgate, and Twyford ; whilst the
rest of them, thirteen in number: viz., Pancras, Rugmere, Totenhall,
Kentish Town, Islington, Newington, Holborn, Portpool, Finsbury, Hoxton,
Wenlock's Barn, Mora, and Eald Street, are found to occupy a belt of land
of no inconsiderable breadth, from the walls of the city of London towards
the north, extending from Pancras on the west to the Episcopal Manor of
Stepney on the east.
The rents of these lands appear to have been always separately enjoyed
by the Prebendaries, and there seems little doubt that each Prebend was in
itself sufficiently valuable to render the great majority of the Prebendaries

INTRODUCTION. V
indifferent as to obtaining that increase of their incomes, which was afforded
by residence at the Cathedral. To this subject, however, it will be necessary
to revert hereafter ; the attention of the reader being now to be directed to
that portion of the lands of the Cathedral, which forms the subject of the
St. Paul's Domesday, which was under the management of the Dean and
Chapter, and in the revenues of which all the members of the Church, the
thirty Prebendaries, the Vicars, the Minor Canons, and the Servants of
the Church had a proportionate interest.
Before we proceed further, it may be right to apprize the reader, that he
must not expect to find anything in the present collection of documents,
which may explain the relation in which the cathedrals of the Anglo-Saxon
or Anglo-Norman times stood to the Church at large, as places of solemn
worship, as seminaries of learning, or as affording opportunities for retire-
ment from the world. The religious character of the Cathedral could only
be exhibited by the publication of its ancient " Regula Canonica," and of its
Statutes. In the present work we have to consider the Cathedral only as a
Corporation possessed of Manors and Churches, standing in the same relation
to the Crown as other Tenants in capite, and having to fulfil to their Tenants
the same duties, and receive from them the same services as other Lords
of Manors ; and if the conduct of the Dean and Chapter, in the manage-
ment of their Manors, was in accordance with the general practice of
other landlords, it would afford us a view of the condition of the country
at large, and help to explain the progress of those changes, which have
taken place in the relation between landlord and tenant, in the mode of
payment of rent, and the general cultivation of the land, which have made
agricultural England what it now is. It must, however, be borne in mind,
that since Corporations generally, and particularly ecclesiastical Corpora-
tions, have less power than individuals to change their customs in accord-
ance with the changes produced by time, their proceedings may at all
times be supposed to have an old-fashioned character, and to indicate the
general customs of a former period, rather than an exact picture of the
existing habits of the time.
The Domesday s of St. Paul's are records of Inquisitions. Thus we
read at page 109, " Annus ab incarnatione Domini millesimus centesimus
octogesimus primus facta fuit inquisitio maneriorum beati Pauli
per Radulfum de Diceto Decanum Lundoniensem, Anno primo sui deca-
Vi INTRODUCTION.
natus, assisteutibus ei tarn magistro Henrico de Norhamtona, quam domino
Roberto de Clifford ;" and at page 85, " Inquisitio facta in manerio de
Chingeford per Robertum decanum, Henricum cancellarium anno
secundo post translationem beati Thomae martyris Cantuariensis Archiepis-
copi." The Inquisition is the recorded verdict of a Jury, the directions for
their impanelment being as follows : " For the more easy discovery of the
truth, we have decreed, that, according to the extent of the Manors and the
number of the inhabitants, a greater or lesser number be chosen and bound
by the obligation of an oath administered to them, that, in answering the
interrogatories, they will not knowingly either suppress the truth or assert
what is false." a The names of the Jurors will be found prefixed to the In-
quisition of each Manor, their number varying according to the foregoing
direction, the largest jury being composed of twelve, others of eight or
nine, and the smallest, that of Norton, of only three. The Inquisitions are
dated on the day of holding the visitation ; but it is manifest from the
nature of the return, that much time must have been spent upon it pre-
viously. The books we now possess may be regarded, as engrossed copies
of the Inquisition of each Manor, written at leisure, and transcribed from
the original minutes into a book.
The fragment of the Domesday of Ralph de Diceto, (seepage 110,)
which records the day upon which the Inquisition of each Manor was taken,
enables us to describe the progress made by the Dean, and two of his brother
Canons, to visit their manors in the year 1181.
The Inquisitions began on the 8th of January, and ended on the 30th of
the same month, commencing at Kadendon, near Dunstaple, and termi-
nating at Sutton, near Chiswick in Middlesex. The whole period is twenty-
three days ; but, since at p. 112 it is distinctly said that the Inquisition was
made in twenty-two days, we must assume that the dean and his brethren
had been staying at Kadendon when the Inquisition commenced, and that
the period of twenty-two days' denotes the length of time actually occupied
in the visitation after their leaving Kadendon.
a " Ut facilius veritas erueretur, pro maneriorum capacitate, pro numero colonorum,
modo plures, modo pauciores, eligendos decrevimus artatos prsestita jusjurandi religione,
quod ad interrogata nee verum supprimerent, nee assererent falsum scienter." p. 112.

The days of the week upon which the progress was made have been
determined by the tables in Nicolas's Chronology. The Dominical letter
of the year 1181 being D, and Easter Day falling in that year on April 5,
it follows that the Sundays occupied in the progress were the llth and the
18th of January, and this appears to be confirmed by the fact that the
visitation at Kirkeby on the 18th was held in the church.
Inquisitions of this formal kind do not appear to have been very fre-
quently made, the earliest upon record being that just mentioned, by
Radulph de Diceto, in 1181 ; the next that of 1222, by the Dean Robert
de Watford, and which forms the chief subject of this volume ; whilst a
third, that of 1279, by Dean Baudake, forms a portion of Book I.,
now remaining in the Archives. Articles of Visitation of a later period are
extant; but the three Visitations of 1181, 1222, and 1279 are those alone
which now remain containing a regular inscription of all the names of the
tenants, with their rents, ranks, and services, and forming a record resem-
bling, in its general features, the Exchequer Domesday, but with greater
minuteness of description. It was probably the progress of time, removing
the men of one generation and replacing them by another, which rendered
it necessary to have a fresh enrolment of names and tenures. As respects
the far greater number of the tenants, the claims of the Lord of the Manor
were limited to customary rents and fixed service ; an increased rate of rent
was to be obtained only for newly-inclosed lands, or lands belonging to
the demesne ; so that the chief object of the Inquisition was the identifi-
cation of the persons by whom the services due were to be paid. On the
part then of the Dean and Chapter, a new Domesday was not the prelude
to any fresh exaction ; it was rather a renewed declaration of rights and
duties between the owner and the occupier of the soil, as well as a solemn
INTRODUCTION. ix
inquiry whether any of the rights of the tenants had been unlawfully
acquired. It was the verdict of a jury, as to the rights which the parties
possessed, and not a record of the re-letting of the land.
In their use, not less than in their form, the Domesdays of St. Paul's
resembled the Domesday of the Exchequer. That census defined the rights
of the Sovereign, by recording the number of hides and the values of the
manors ; and in like manner the Domesdays of St. Paul's, in recording the
holdings and services of the tenants, virtually limited the rights of the
Chapter to the receipt of those payments, which had been in a solemn
manner ascertained. It is a common notion that the Domesday book of
William is a work entirely original in its character ; that it was compiled in
order to enable the Sovereign to extort money from the people, and is
chiefly interesting as being the record of the subjugation of England to a
foreign power. The discovery of other Domesday books, compiled for the
use of other bodies and persons, and which are not records of violent
transfer of property by war, but official testimonies of quiet possession of
lands by inheritance, by grant, or by purchase in times of peace, will how-
ever encourage us to take a more charitable view of the Exchequer Domes-
day itself; whilst the careful comparison of the Royal with the other
Domesdays may lead to the conclusion that the Exchequer Domesday,
considered as a whole, is rather the record of ancient relations existing
between the landlords and their tenants than of the newly-acquired rights
of the Norman lords, and that the state of society described in it was
not one newly formed by the Conquest, but that which had existed in
England under the Anglo-Saxon kings.
Sir Henry Ellis, in his learned Introduction to Domesday, mentions four
books of the same denomination. The first, a Domesday belonging to the
Dean and Chapter of York ; the second, that belonging to the Nuns of
Haliwell ; the third, one which existed in the archives of the Earls of
Chester ; the fourth, the Domesday of Ralph de Diceto belonging to St.
Paul's. In order to complete the catalogue, we must now reckon in the
number of Domesdays 1. The Liber Wintoniensis of Henry I. printed in
the Appendix to Domesday. 2. The survey of the tenants in the city of
Winchester (which forms the second part of the Liber Wintoniensis), made
by command of Henry Bishop of Winchester in 1148. 3. The Bolden Book
(also printed in the Appendix), being an inquisition of the lands and rents
CAMD. SOC. c
X INTRODUCTION.
of the bishoprick of Durham, by Bishop Hugo, in 1183. 4. The survey
of the manors of St. Paul's in 1222, printed in the following pages, and
denominated the Domesday of Dean Robert de Watford. 5. A similar
survey by Ralph de Baudake, Dean of St. Paul's, in 1279. We know then
of the existence of eight books subsequent to the Exchequer Domesday,
compiled at different intervals during two centuries, identical in character,
and bearing the same denomination, those of them which have been brought
to light being records of inquisitions of the respective rights and duties of
the lord of the soil, and of the tenant within the limits either of cities or
manors.
The Exchequer Domesday is a return of the value and condition of
the Manors at two distinct periods at the time when the return was
made, and in the days of Edward the Confessor. It is probable that records
were in existence which enabled the jurors of each county, at the dis-
tance of twenty- three years from the death of Edward, to describe so
minutely the former and present condition of each manor, its value, the
power of the tenants to part with their lands with or without the consent of
the lord, the names of the tenants, the number of acres held by them, and
the services due from them. The return of the royal revenue prior to the
Conquest, and of the dues from courts of justice, shared by the Crown, the
Comes or Earl, and the Prelates, and collected by the Vicecomes or Sheriff
in each county, implies the use of written documents. Take, for instance,
the rights which the Confessor had in the burgh of Wallingford (Domesday,
p. 56), the varied nature of which will prove, that without a rental, and
without minutes of the legal proceedings within the burgh, the King's
praBpositus would neither have been able to collect the gavel, amounting to
eleven pounds, from two hundred and seventy-six holdings, denominated
hagte, nor have satisfied the king's officers, that he duly certified the
forisfacturce or forfeitures which belonged to the Crown.
All the Domesday books have one common feature, that of being rentals of
manors and records of manorial rights; but in the Royal Domesday the rental
is given only in the form of a brief abstract : in the Capitular Domesdays, the
enumeration of the tenants and of their lands is set forth in the fullest extent.
The former has the appearance of an abridgment of a Manorial Court -roll, the
latter are the Court-rolls at length. The most ancient Court-rolls now extant
are identical in character with that series of Records belonging to St. Paul's,
INTRODUCTION. xi
the most ancient of which are called Domesdays. The title of the Court-roll
of Castle Combe, Wilts, is " Reddituale cum Custumario de Castlecombe
factum ad festum Sancti Michaelis anno Regni Regis Edw per sacra-
mentum Walteri North," &c. This document is of as early a date as 1340,
The annual rent of the manor was 151. 12s. 8^. and the number of the
tenants exceeded fifty. Identity of character would seem to indicate a
common use. At Castle Combe, the court rolls were the records of
proceedings on the days therein termed laiv-days on those days in which
not only rents were received, but legal rights and duties ascertained. And
if, as is probable, the Exchequer Domesday, being the rental of all the
manors of the kingdom in an abridged form, was compiled from inquisitions
held on the Domes-days of the different Manors, or on the Law-days of
the Hundreds, called Lagehundred (at p. 86), such a fact would illus-
trate the meaning of the term Domesday, when applied alike to the Liber
Censualis of the Crown and to the ancient Court-roll of a Capitular Manor,
as being records framed upon the oaths of jurors in a Domes- day or Law-
day inquisition.
The Domesday books are then records, which illustrate the condition
of England as occupied in the pursuits of peace rather than of war, for
Manors are civil possessions and not military commands ; and, though the
owner of the Manor was bound to act in the military defence of the country,
the tenantry, who dwelt on the estate, had no such duties to perform. They
were the labourers, not the soldiers of the Lord. Manors, whether royal,
baronial, or episcopal and ecclesiastical, were to their owners sources of
wealth, derived from two distinct sources the exercise of a legal jurisdic-
tion and the rent or cultivation of land. The Ecclesiastical Manors differed
in no respect from those which were in lay hands. They were the sources
of income, not the field of spiritual labour. They contributed to the sup-
port of the Bishop or of the Chapter, and of the religious household of the
Cathedral, by profits and revenues no way different from those derived by
the Sovereign and the Lords from other Manors. It is remarkable, that
neither the Exchequer Domesday, nor the Domesdays of St. Paul's contain
any evidence, that the Ecclesiastical manors had any superior religious
privileges, or were the centres from which religious knowledge was diffused
to the neighbourhood. The Manors of the religious houses were in reality
secular possessions ; and their history, as shewn in the Domesdays of St.
xii INTRODUCTION.
Paul's, is valuable as illustrating the social, rather than the religious, con-
dition of the time.
The documents of the present volume exhibit to us in minute detail
the various relations in which owners and occupiers of lands in England
stood to each other in the middle of the 12th century, at the distance
of not more than one hundred years from the Conquest; the fragment
of the Domesday of Ralph de Diceto in 1 181 (see pages 109-11 7), and the
leases of the manors (see pages 122-139) connecting the later documents
with those of the earlier period, and the whole of them taken together
proving most clearly, that from the middle of the 12th century to the be-
ginning of the 14th no change took place in the general occupation of the
country. Their chief value, however, will be found to consist in the retro-
spective view which they enable us to take of antecedent periods, and to
unite the state of society in the Anglo-Norman with that in the Anglo-
Saxon times, the contracted character of the Exchequer Domesday being
in the St. Paul's Domesday written in extenso, and the relations of landlord
and tenant, briefly recorded in the older document, being in the later more
fully explained.
The Manors of St. Paul's, in common with the other Manors of the
kingdom, consisted of two distinct portions : the lands of the Demesne, and
the lands of the Tenants. As respects the Capitular Manors in the counties
of Middlesex, Hertford, and Surrey, the proportion which the Demesne
bore to the Tenants' lands is distinctly stated in the Exchequer Domesday;
but in the enumeration of the Capitular manors in the county of Essex, the
only intimation of this division is in the distinction between the carucae or
plough-teams in the demesne, and those which belonged to the Tenants.
The Domesdays of St. Paul's supply the defect, and enable us to ascertain,
with respect to the whole of the property, the number of hides in each
Manor of both descriptions, whether Tenants' land or Demesne.
The whole number of hides of land to which the Chapter was assessed to
hidage in 1222 was 133^. In fourteen out of the eighteen Manors, the
number of rateable hides had remained the same from the time of the
Conquest, but at Tidwoldintun the variation consisted in reduction from
eight hides to three, at Chingford and at Ardley from six to five, at
Drayton from ten to nine, whilst at Nastock there was an increase from
seven to eight.
INTRODUCTION. Xlll
These variations are interesting, not only as indicating changes in the
condition of the Manors as respects the extent of cultivation, but as imply-
ing a power on the part of the Tenants in capite of procuring from the
Crown a relaxation of the burden of hidage. Whether any general revisal
of the Survey of the Conqueror took place in later reigns is uncertain ; but
when we discover in the records of St. Paul's a full Inquisition of all the
Manors (see pages 140-146), in which the number of hides is recorded at
which each Manor " defendebat se" in the time of Henry the First and
William the Dean, several of the Manors being rated otherwise than they
had been in the Exchequer Domesday, it is reasonable to conclude, that
these changes were not made without the consent and approval of the
Crown ; and when we further learn, that William the Dean adjusted the
payment of the hidage between the Demesne and the Tenants' lands in the
manor of Barling (see page 143), there is ground for conjecture that, as
the variations above alluded to were made in his time, they might also be
made by his endeavours and under his superintendence. That the Crown
at later periods than that of William in some cases diligently investi-
gated its ancient rights, is evident from the Liber Wintoniensis of Henry I.,
which opens with the following preface : " Henricus Rex volens scire quid
Rex Edwardus habuit omnibus modis WintoniaB in suo dominico, Burgensium
suorum sacramento hoc comprobari jussit." Such attention, however, to the
rights of the Crown is not inconsistent with a due regard to the relief of the
subject, either as of favour or of right. In the case of the Manor of Tid-
woldintun (Heybridge) the reduction of the number of rateable hides, first
from 8 to 1\ and then from 7| to 3, is worthy of remark, the latter reduc-
tion having taken place between 1181 and 1222. The Manor lies at the
extreme end of the Black water estuary, on the coast of Essex. In the time
of Stephen, tempore guerrce, (see page 142,) some inroad of the sea and
destruction of woods had taken place, to the injury of the produce of the
manor, and some similar misfortune at a later period might have given
occasion to a reduction of the hidage from seven and a half hides to three.
The Hide of land in the Manors of St. Paul's contained 120 acres, or four
virgates of thirty acres ; but, besides the ordinary Hide, we find mention at
Tillingham, Sutton, and Drayton of land of a different denomination, and
occasionally liable to a different burden of taxation, the " Hida de solanda."
At Drayton this hide did not pay " geld " with the other hides, " nisi
xiv INTRODUCTION.
quum comrauniter fiunt exactiones per hidas" (p. 99). Whether the
solanda at Suttori and those at Tillingham had the like exemption is doubtful.
A solanda consisted of two hides (pp. 58 and 93), but probably in this
case the hide was not of the ordinary dimension. The word solanda, or
as it is written at p. 142 scolanda, is so evidently a latinized form of
the Anglo-Saxon sulung, or plough-land, and approaches so near to the
Kentish solinus, that we need scarcely hesitate to consider them identical,
and since we learn from the Domesday Survey of the possessions of St.
Martin's at Dover (vol. i. f. 2) that 450 acres make two solins and a half,
the solin being therefore 180 acres, we gather from hence that the solanda
probably did not contain two full hides of 120 acres, but two smaller hides
of 90 acres each, or 180 acres, being the Kentish solinus or Anglo-Saxon
sulung.
In the Manors of St. Paul's the actual extent of the land much exceeded
the quantity at which it was rated ; and if throughout the whole kingdom
the same proportion was observed, it would follow generally, that land was
rated to hideage at about two-thirds of its real extent. The 133J hides
of St. Paul's (reckoning the hide at 120 acres) would have contained only
16,020 acres ; but an enumeration of the whole of the lands shews an actual
acreage of nearly 24,000 acres. Of these 24,000 acres, three-eighths were
in demesne and five-eighths belonged to the tenants, being for the most
part lands of inheritance, subject to the rents and services of which we shall
have to take notice.
Broad however as is the distinction in the description of these Manors
between the land of the Demesne and the land of the Tenants, it appears
from the number of the acres which were held by the tenants " de
dominico," and from the services performed by them, that the lords
of Manors had power, if not to alienate the Demesne in perpetuity to
tenants, at least to grant to them a right of occupation, upon con-
ditions of service not different from those attached to lands which did not
form part of the demesne. It would be out of place to enter upon an
inquiry whether, in the original formation of Manors, one part of the
Manor was not demesne, and another part held by the people ; but when at
later periods land was granted to tenants, the land so granted was said to
be assised. Thus we read at p. 140, in the manor of Ardley : " De sex
prsedictis hydis duae fuerunt in dominio et quatuor assists et adhuc sunt ;"
INTRODUCTION. XV
and at Tillingham, p. 58, we find an enumeration of tenants " de dominico
antiguitus assiso ;" and at Luffenhall, p. 20, " Isti tenent de hida assisa
per Odonem;" and at p. 94, " Isti tenent de terra assisa."
It has been stated that the Exchequer Domesday supplies us with little
information as to the relative extent of the Tenants' lands, and of the De-
mesne, in the county of Essex ; the enumeration of the Carucae, or plough-
teams, in the Demesne, and of the Carucae of the Homines, or Tenants,
affording no certain clue to the acreage of the two portions of the manor.
Concerning, however, the nature of the Carucae the records of St. Paul's
afford some valuable information. In the survey of the Manor of Adul-
vesnasa, in the Exchequer Domesday, vol. ii. we have this description of
the Carucae of the demesne and of the tenants. " Vi. carucae in dominio.
Tune inter homines Ix. carucae, modo xxx." In the lease of that manor,
granted in the time of Ralph de Diceto, some 120 years later, see p. 125,
we have renewed mention of these six Carucse in the demesne, with the
addition of the number of oxen attached to them, and as being a part of the
stock of this Manor leased to the lessee : " Restauramentum tale est : sex
carrucae, de quinque unaquaeque x. bourn, sexta autem viii. bourn."
The St. Paul's Domesday of 1222 differs from the Exchequer Domesday,
in making no distinct mention of the Carucae possessed by the tenants ; but
in each Manor the number and strength of the teams, which, when added
to the " consuetudines," or customai'y labour performed by the tenants,
were sufficient for the cultivation of the demesne, are particularly stated.
The general form of the Inquisition, as respects the plough teams, is, " I)i-
cunt quod potest fieri Wainagium cum totidem carucis totidem capitum
cum consuetudinibus villatae." But as to the strength and composition of
these teams there is much variety:
" Potest fieri wainagium manerii cum duobus carucis viii. capitum," p. 8.
"Quinque carucae, quarum tres habent iiij. boves et iiij. equos et duae
singulae vi. equos," p. 13.
" Quatuor carucae x. capitum," p. 8.
" Tres carucae x. capitum, scilicet in qualibet viij boves et ij. equi," p. 48.
" Duae carucae bonae cum xx. capitibus scilicet cum x. equis et x. bobus," p. 53.
" Duse carucae xx. capitum, scilicet cum xii. bobus et viij. equis," p. 59.
" Duae carucae cum xvi. capitibus, scilicet medietas equorum et medietas
bourn," p. 65.
XVI INTRODUCTION.
" Potest wainagium fieri cum xii. bovibus et quatuor stottis," p. 93,
Hence it appears that of whatever kind of animals the Carucse or teams
were formed, there were in each team not less than six, eight, or ten head of
cattle, either horses alone, or beasts alone, or horses and beasts intermixed.
It must be obvious to every student of the Exchequer Domesday, that the
abstracts of inquisitions, which constitute the body of that work, were made
by different persons, and that the information derived from it, as respects
the condition of Manors throughout the kingdom, is not of an uniform cha-
racter. The Domesday of Essex is distinguished by the frequent enumera-
tion of the live stock of the manors, and the comparison of the number of
animals of each description existing at the two periods the time of the Sur-
vey and the time of the Confessor. Thus in the survey of the manor of
Brachestedam, in the hundred of Witham (vol. ii. p. 49), it is recorded, that
in the time of the Confessor there were in that manor " two horses (run-
cini), fourteen beasts (animalia), forty pigs, and eighty sheep ; but at the
time of the Survey there were found one horse, six beasts, forty-six pigs,
one hundred and ten sheep, and four hives of bees." The Manors belonging
to the canons of St. Paul's in the county of Essex are enumerated at pp.
12 and 13 of the same volume, and a similar account of the live stock is
also given ; e. g., at Belchamp there were nine beasts, two horses, forty
pigs, an hundred sheep, and five goats. At Wicham two horses, four
beasts, twenty-three pigs, fifty sheep, twenty-four goats, and two hives of
bees. The live stock upon these manors of St. Paul's is in some cases
said to have been always (that is, in the time of the Confessor and also at
the time of the Survey) the same ; a circumstance which is explained by
the supposition, that the live stock thus enumerated was that which formed
the implementum of the demesne, distinct mention of which is made in the
leases of manors contained in this volume (pp. 122 139), as received by
the firmarius at the commencement of his lease, and rendered either in
kind or value at its termination. It appears from those leases, which were
granted nearly a century after the Conquest, that this live stock had in the
mean time been varied, and we cannot, as in the case of the Carucse of
Adulvesnasa, identify the stock as being the same in extent at the earlier
and the later period ; we can however in one instance identify its
character, by the beasts, the horses, the pigs, and the goats, which at
both periods are described, p. 121, as belonging to the manor of Wicham.
INTRODUCTION.
XV1J
In the Exchequer Domesday, whether a manor belonged to the king or
a prelate, or to any other body or person, its description is of the same
character and relates to the same particulars, the general form being as
follows :
Herfordscire (f. 136, a.)
" Terra Sancti Pauli Lundon. In Duiais Hundred.
" Canonic! Lundonienses tenent Canesworde. Pro x. hidis se det'endit.
Terra est x. carucarum. In dominio v hidse, et ibi sunt ii. carucse et adhuc
iii. possunt fieri. Ibi viii. villani cum iii. bordariis habent ii. carucas, et
adhuc iii. possunt fieri. Ibi iii. servi. Pastura ad pecus. Silva c. por-
corum, et de redditu silvae ii. solidi. In totis valentiis valet Ixx. solidi.
Quando receperunt c. solidi^ et tantumdem temp ore Regis Edwardi.
Hoc manerium tenuit Leuuinus Gilt de rege Edwardo.''
The clause in this return, to which we would now direct the attention of
the reader, is that which is printed in Italics, and which records the value of
the manor at three periods, the time of the Survey, the time when the
Chapter became possessed of it, and the time of Edward the Confessor.
This mode of describing the value of manors is universal throughout the
Domesday, nor is it limited to manors ; tenements which consisted of but a
few acres being similarly valued, e.g. twenty acres in one place being valued
at forty pence, and thirty-five acres in another at forty-six pence. Such
phrases as " valet " and " valuit " would seem to indicate the value of the
whole estate, and such is the interpretation of the term, which has been
adopted by the learned Dr. Nash in his Commentary upon the Domesday
of Worcestershire, and probably by other writers. A comparison however
of the inquisitions of manors in the Exchequer Domesday, both with each
other and with the inquisitions of the St. Paul's Domesday s, will render it
probable that the terms "valet" and " valuit" do not represent the value of
the whole estate, but only the annual profit derived from money rents.
For the elucidation of this subject we shall first exhibit in parallel
columns inquisitions of Royal and of Ecclesiastical Manors ; from which
it will be evident that, whatever was the object in view in estimating and
recording these values, the manors of the Crown and of its subjects were
estimated and recorded in the same manner; and also, that whatever it might
be, upon which a value was put, whether land or rent, in the Royal manor,
CAMD. SOC. d

INTRODUCTION.
the same thing was valued in all other manors ; and since in very many
cases it is the annual value, at which the estate was let to farm, or the annual
rent received, which is recorded in the inquisition, we have ground for con-
jecture, that it was the annual value which was sought to be ascertained in
the inquisition, and which is accordingly expressed by the term " valet " or
"valuit;" the truth of the conjecture being confirmed by its solving nearly
all the difficulties, which follow from the supposition that "valet" means the
value of the fee simple of the estate, and also by its reconciling the different
descriptions of value with each other :

It will be observed that in two of these manors, Optune and Menes,
their value, put " ad firmam," exceeded the other certified value. It is
then obvious, that all the values of these manors are annual values ; and
there being no reason to imagine, that in these manors the term " valet "
INTRODUCTION. xix
is employed in a peculiar sense, we conclude that generally, and in other
cases where the value of the estate put to farm is not given, the word
" valet " also means annual value.
It is further to be observed, that in the Exchequer Domesday the terms
" reddit " and " redditus " frequently supply the place of " valet." In the
Domesday of Wiltshire the " Terra Regis " contained twenty-two manors.
Six of them may be distinguished from the rest as ancient Royal manors,
which had never paid, nor been estimated for, hidage, but which " reddi-
derunt firmam uriius noctis cum omnibus consuetudinibus," the value
of this redditus being at Chepehan 110/. and at Theodulveside 100 J.
The value of fourteen other manors, some of which had belonged to
Harold, is estimated in most of them as " redditus," but in others by the
term " valet." So also in the royal manors in the county of Oxford (nine
in number), two, Langford and Scoptone, were held to farm. The value
(valet) of the former manor being eighteen and of the latter nine pounds ;
but the remaining seven manors have their values described as " redditus,"
and in three cases as <( redditus per annum." These are a few out of many
instances, which might be adduced to confirm the suggestion, that "valet''
throughout the Exchequer Domesday means only the annual value of
money-rent, or the sum which the estate was worth when let to farm.
At page 140 of this volume, the reader will find an inquisition of all the
Manors of St. Paul's in the year 1181 : the resemblance of this inquisition
to that of the Exchequer Domesday in respect of the number of hides at
which the manors were assessed, or which were in the demesne, will be per-
ceived by comparing the inquisition of the manor.of Kenswrtha(Canesworde),
with that already presented to the reader. " Manerium de Keneswrtha de-

INTRODUCTION.
orum " in this later inquisition, we would observe that, as it occupies the
place of the " valet," its position alone would lead us to conclude, that the
terms are expressive of the same value that which at one period was ex-
pressed by " valet " being afterwards expressed by the " Summa denario-
rum." Now there cannot be any doubt, that the money-values recorded in
the Inquisition of 1181 under the head "Summa denariorum " are the
values of annual rents ; for, on summing up the rents paid by all the
tenants of the manors as set forth in the Inquisition of 1222, the sums
received in each manor at both periods so nearly correspond, as to prove the
identity of the payments as annual rents. Assuming, then, that in all the
surveys of manors, those of the time of the Confessor and of the Conqueror,
of Ralph de Diceto in 1 181, and of Robert de Watford in 1222, it is the
annual value that is recorded under the terms " valet " and " Summa dena-
riorum," the comparison of these values as exhibited in the subjoined table

INTRODUCTION. XXI
may not be uninteresting, the whole interval of time from the first valuation
T. R. E. to that in 1222 occupying a period of about 160 years. In order
to account for the variation of value of each manor at the different periods?
much more information is required, than we possess. It is, however, to be
borne in mind, that the rents represented by the respective sums are not
variable annual rents of tenants at will, but the fixed' rent payable by
tenants of estates descending in the family by hereditary succession. Upon
the values at the two earlier periods it is to be remarked, that the contrast
between them and those of the two later periods, as not exhibiting any frac-
tional payments, clearly intimates estimated or average values rather than
actual receipts. And as respects the increase and diminution of rent at any
of the periods, it is to be observed, that increase would take place by the
conversion of demesne lands into tenants' lands ; and that the resumption
of tenants' lands by failure of heirs and by forfeiture, by increasing the land
in demesne, would cause a diminution of rent. The increase of the
" Summa denariorum" in 1222 above that of 1 181 would indicate, either
that a larger part of the demesne had been assised in the meantime, or that
lands, which had escheated, had been regranted on higher terms. The
whole value of all the manors was also greater in the time of the Conqueror
than of the Confessor ; but the increase took place chiefly in the county of
Essex, the manors in the other counties having fallen in value. It would
seem, that the good management of a manor depended much upon the allot-
ment of lands in demesne, in the exercise of that right, which the lord of
the manor is described as possessing at Kensworth (p. 160), " ponere ad
operationem quantum voluerit " of the five hides in demesne, and to which
also reference appears to be made by the jurors at Beauchamp (p. 28),
Heybridge (p. 53), Runwell (p. 170), and Nastock (p. 175), in their
statements, that the lands of the demesne, the essarts or newly-cleared
lands, and other tenements had been let (traditse) with due regard to the
interest of the Chapter.
Tenants of four ranks or orders occupied the Manors of St. Paul's at the
time of the Exchequer Survey- Villani, Bordarii, Cotarii, Servi, and they
were more than five hundred in number. In the Domesday of 1222 only
one of these distinctive names is preserved that of the Cotarii ; but the
other three classes appear to be represented by the Tenentes, the Operarii,
and the Nativi, the whole number of tenements exceeding thirteen hundred,
and indicating a proportionate increase in the population.
xxii INTRODUCTION,
The fragment of the Inquisition of Ralph de Diceto in 1181 (see page
1 14), affords the means of comparing the number of tenants in the manor of
Belchamp in that year, with the numbers at the earlier time of the Domesday
Survey, and at the later period of 1222. Twenty-four Villani, ten Bordarii,
and five Servi occupied that manor in 1086, in all thirty-nine. A hundred
years later there were eighteen Libere tenentes, holding six hundred and
sixty-seven acres, with thirty -five tenants of the demesne holding one hundred
and fifty-eight acres ; these two classes being fifty- three in number. In the
next fifty years the Libere tenentes had increased from eighteen to thirty-
four, or nearly double ; but the quantity of land held by them had increased
from six hundred and sixty-seven acres to only seven hundred and forty-
four. The tenants of the demesne lands had increased from thirty-five
to forty-four, and the acreage of the lands from one hundred and fifty-
eight to one hundred and eighty acres. The two classes together were
in 1086 thirty-four, in 1181 fifty-three, in 1222 seventy-eight.
It was necessary, in order to the name of any person being admitted on
the Court Roll, that he should be the rightful occupier of land or mes-
suage ; and every one so admitted may be considered the head of a house-
hold. So many tenements were however held by widows and single women,
and the same person so frequently held two or three kinds of tenancies
in the same manor, that the number of the households necessarily falls
short of the number of the tenements. The causes of the increase in the
number of tenancies may be found in the letting to tenants portions of the
demesne and of the waste, or woodland, newly brought into cultivation, and
denominated " essarts ;" and it is probable, that from the lands so tenanted
the lord of the manor derived an increased annual rent, and additional
labour for the demesne. Another source of increase in the number of
tenancies was the subdivision of the land according to the law of gavelkind,
which, as we learn from Glanville (vii. 2), was applicable to all lands
ue- held by knights or by military tenure ; and which divided the inherit-
ance of the Socmen equally among all the sons. (See also Bracton, ii. 34.)
But from such divisions of the land the lord derived no increased annual
profit. A virgate, or a hide of land, when so divided, does not appear to
have been chargeable with any increased rent, or any increased tenant-labour,
whilst the number of persons liable to the rent, and to the performance of
labour, might increase the difficulty on the part of the lord in exacting his
dues, without his having any proportionate advantage.
INTRODUCTION.
XX111
The manor of Sutton, however, presents a remarkable contrast to the
other manors of St. Paul with respect to increase in the number of
tenancies at the periods above mentioned. In the Exchequer Domes-
day it is recorded that the tenants of this manor consisted of eight Villani,
holding each one virgate, seven Villani holding each half a virgate, seven
Bordarii with five acres each, sixteen Cotarii, and two Servi altogether
forty persons. The number of tenancies in 1222 appearing but little to
exceed the ancient number of forty, has led to a more accurate comparison of
the two Surveys, which has been attended by some curious results ; such as
these, first that the number of tenants was as nearly as possible forty at both
periods ; that at the earlier period eleven and a half virgates, and at the
later period twelve virgates, were held first by fifteen and then by eighteen
tenants ; that the seven Bordarii with their five acres each are represented
by seven Operarii, with the like number of acres ; and that the number of
tenants described as holders " de terra assisa " in 1222, and chiefly in small
quantities, such as the Cotarii generally held, very nearly corresponds to
the sixteen Cotarii of the Exchequer Domesday. Such coincidences confirm
most strongly the idea that the ancient, as well as the later Domesdays, were
compiled from sources of a similar character, and that the ancient Domes-
days are, as has been suggested, abbreviated Court Rolls of Manors. The
Records of St. Paul's throw no light upon the meaning of the title Bor-
darius ; but, since the use of the word had ceased at the beginning of the
thirteenth century, we may conclude, that if any particular duties, other than
those performed by the Operarii, had before belonged to them, they had at
that time ceased.
It is to be remarked, that though there were " Servi" on every manor
in the earlier times, no distinct mention is made of this class on any of the
manors in 1222, though probably the persons described at p. 80 as " nativi
a principio " in the manor of Navestock belonged to it. Personal slavery,
by which is meant the right to sell and transfer the slave to any new owner,
does not appear to have been an Anglo-Saxon institution ; it is doubtful,
whether a Lord possessed a greater property in the Servus, than is implied in
the obligation on the part of the Servus to dwell upon the estate, and not
to depart from it without the licence of his Lord. The ordinary prgedial
services due from the Tenentes or Villani were not required to be per-
formed in person ; and whether in the manor or out of it the Villanus was

not in legal language sub potestate domini." Not so the Nativus ; wherever
he was dwelling, he was his Lord's property, and must return to his Manor, or
be pursued as a fugitive slave (Bracton, 1. i. c. 6, 10). As respects praedial
service, the Nativi of Nastok were not bound to greater personal labour or
to services different from those performed by the Operarii on other manors,
yet their tenure was "bondage " (" Johannes Peter nativus tenet in bondagio
unum mesuagium," &c. p. 81), the distinctive mark of that condition being
the payment of Havedsot or Chevagium (head money) for licence to go
away either to trade or serve on hire. This payment was at Nastock a
penny, married couples paying double. A very interesting account of
the late continuance of tenure in bondage is to be found in the History
of the Manor of Castle Combe,* to which reference has been already
made.
As the manor of Nastock is distinguished by its " Nativi," so is also the
manor of Adulvesnasa by two classes of tenants, unknown on the other
capitular manors, the " Akermanni " and " Hidarii."
The Akermanni are described at p. 52 as belonging to Walton, Thorp,
and Kirkeby with Horlock, being in 1222 three divisions of the great manor
of Adulvesnasa, and the survey of the whole manor being taken upon the
oaths of three juries, at Thorp, at Kirkeby, and at Walton. It is also to be
observed that at Thorp and at Walton, which are distant five miles from
each other, there were separate demesnes ; and, as appears from the lease
to Richard the Archdeacon (see pp. 130, 1 3 1 ), a courthouse and barns
at Walton, and at Thorp a homestead, with a barn, a stackyard, and a house
used partly as a barn. These Akermanni were six in number, holding each
of them five acres. Their tenure of the land was uncertain ; for it is dis-
tinctly said that the Lord could take them into his own hand whenever he
pleased " dominus potest capere in manu sua cum vult ;" and yet it
is doubtful, whether by such an act the Lord could have entirely annihi-
lated the rights of the Akerman's heir ; some limitation to the consequence
of this seizure being apparently implied in the qualifying expression " sine
injuriis hereditariae successionis." It is possible, that these six Akermanni
were the representatives of those Servi, of whom it is said in the Exche-
quer Domesday, that there had always been six of that class at Adulvesnasa,
* By Gr. Poulett Scrope, Esq. 1852. See pages 217, 222.
INTRODUCTION. XXV
and it is remarkable, that four of them, Rand' the weaver, Adman the son
of Herevicus, Alicia the widow of Jordan, and the brothers Walter and
Edmund, held other lands in other capacities (see pages 30, 44, 49, 51),
and that the occupations of the remaining two, Sagar the shipman, and
Johannes the merchant, are quite compatible with the condition of the
Nativi as already described, who holding " in bondagio " could, under certain
penalties or payments, remove from the manor, and carry on trade, or serve
on hire elsewhere.
The Inquisition of the Manor of Adulvesnasa (see pp. S8-52) differs
from those of the other manors of St. Paul's, in having each hide sepa-
rately described, as held by its tenants in different proportions, the number
of hides thus described being nineteen and a-half, and the tenants being
denominated Hidarii. The hide was not divided amongst its tenants
equally, nor was the number of tenants on each hide the same ; the
first hide (see page 41) was divided among four tenants, the second
among nine, the third among ten, and the fourth among eight ; the remaining
hides exhibiting the like variety, both as to the number of tenants, and the
quantity of the land held by each, within the hide. Portions of separate
hides were in several instances held by the same person. So peculiar a
division of the land, and so distinct an appellation, might appear to indicate
some peculiar privilege. There is however no ground for such a supposi-
tion ; for if we compare the services due from the Hidarii, as detailed in
pages 42 and 47, with those of the Libere tenentes on other manors, it will
be evident, that the Hidarii of Adulvesnasa belonged to the ordinary class of
Villani, their distinction being probably only this, that they were jointly, as
well as severally, bound to perform the services due from the hide, of which
they held part.
We have before observed, that in the Exchequer Domesday the tenants
of the Manors of St, Paul's are enumerated as belonging to four classes :
Villani, Bordarii, Cotarii, and Servi. In the Capitular Survey of these
manors in 1222, we and no such distinct classification, nor is there any
uniform system in the description of the tenants or their tenancies. The
following list exhibits nearly all the varieties of description.

excepted, had, as it appears, fallen into desuetude; the relations, how-
ever, in which the services and persons of the Libere tenentes, the Tenentes
terras operarias, and the Nativi, stood with respect to each other, and to the
Lord of the manor, are so distinctly marked, as to leave but little doubt, that
in those three classes we have the representatives of the Villani, Bordarii,
and Servi of the earlier age, under titles of a higher order, and which less
plainly indicated the servile character of the services which were due : to be
a Tenant of any class was probably a designation more agreeable than that
of a Villain ; to hold land " ad operationem," and by the tenancy of labour,
and to be an Opernritis, might be an appellation, as superior to that of Bor-
darius, as that of Nativus manifestly is to that of Servus or Slave.
Under the Manorial system all the tenants performed pradial services ;
but the higher was the rank of the tenant, the fewer services were due.
It would seem, that the lord of a manor had originally the right to
the assistance of all his tenants in cultivating the Demesne, and gathering
in the produce at the Precariae or Boon days, being the three seasons, of
harvest, and of the autumnal and lenten ploughing and sowing. The
Canons of St. Paul's, who, as is shewn in the Exchequer Domesday, held
the Manor of Barnes, as part of the Archiepiscopal Manor of Mortlake,
were bound either by themselves or their firmarius to plough four acres of
the Archbishop's land and to find men to attend one Preraria (see page
103), whilst their own Tenants on that Manor performed for them similar
services. In different manors of St. Paul's the services due on these
days were in some degree varied. At Kensworth the service of reaping
and ploughing was limited to two days, at each of the three seasons ; and if
the second day's service was demanded, the labourer's food was furnished by
the lord. At Sandon and at Beauchamp the lord's right was limited to one
day, and he found food. At Wickam, the service appears to have been
limited to digging the ground for the crop of flax, gathering it, and steep-
ing it, and carrying it home ; and also to the furnishing one man from each
house for three holidays to collect nuts. At Kirkeby some other services,
INTRODUCTION. XXvii
including that of thrashing seed corn, and supplying carriage, were re-
quired. At Heybridge the " Libere tenentes " assisted in carrying the corn
to St. Paul's. It will be seen, that the extent of the ploughing, or reaping,
or of cartage, due at the Boon days, is defined in the Survey of 1222, with
some slight differences on different manors ; but, since it is evident that
the highest classes of tenants did not perform prsedial services at any other
periods of the year than those of the Precariae or Boon days, and that not
even the "Libere tenentes " were exempt from them, we conclude that all
the tenants who performed only these services were of the first class, though
not distinctly so designated, and that they are the representatives of that
order of tenants who were at the Conquest called " Villani."
With respect to the tenants of the manors who were inferior to the
" Libere tenentes," viz. the Operarii and Cotarii, the Inquisitions of St.
Paul's supply the fullest proof, that the distinctive character of their services
consisted in the obligation to perform predial labour upon the demesne lands,
not only at the Boon days, but during every week of the year, the holiday
weeks at Christmas, Easter, and Pentecost excepted. The name by which
this class of tenants was in some cases distinguished from the " Libere
tenentes," was that of " Custumarii." The customs of the different manors
were not uniform as respects these tenants ; but generally their weekly labour
varied according to the period of the year, being the least from Michaelmas
to Pentecost, after that increasing from Pentecost to the feast of St. Peter
ad Vincula (Aug. 1), and being greatest from that time till Michaelmas.
At San don, during these periods, the Operarii upon each half-virgate supplied
labour for two, four, and five days. At Kadendon the Cotarii laboured
thrice a week from Michaelmas to August, and from that period every
day but Saturday ; but at Ardley their labour was limited to Monday, and
to the services of carrying, and driving swine to London. We observe, in
conclusion, that although we have failed, either to discover the exact differ-
ence between the Cotarii and other Operarii, or to explain the meaning of
the title Bordarius, it has yet been shown, that the Operarii arid Cotarii were
subject to demands of labour and other payments, on the part of the lord,
far greater than those due from the tenants of the higher classes ; and there
being no evidence of their being compelled to perform those services in
person, or of their being forbidden to live away from the manor, it follows,
that they occupied the middle rank between the " Libere tenentes," whose
INTRODUCTION.
services were occasional, and those of the Servi or Nativi, who could never
leave the soil without the license of the lord.
Praedial service, or, as it might he termed, " agricultural labour," was
the tenure, under which lands were generally held of the lords of manors af
the beginning of the thirteenth century ; if land were held by payment of
money alone, there is very frequently direct evidence of the payment being
a composition in lieu of service. It becomes an interesting subject of
inquiry, in what age this kind of agricultural society had its origin, whether
it was of the Anglo-Norman or the Anglo-Saxon period. Upon this point,
scanty as is the information we obtain from the Exchequer Domesday, com-
pared with the voluminous character of that record, the instances which there
occur of praedial tenures are sufficiently numerous, even though unsup-
ported by other evidence, to justify the conclusion, that they existed, as
parts of the manorial system, prior to the time of the Confessor. It must
be admitted, that this notice of prsedial tenures is confined to a few counties,
Gloucester, Hereford, Worcester, and Chester; but since the general
description of the tenantry of those counties is in perfect accordance with
that of the rest of England, Homines, Villani, Bordarii, Cotarii, and Servi
existing everywhere, there is ample ground for the conjecture, that services,
such as were performed by tenants in those counties, were also due from
tenants of the same class elsewhere.
In the Exchequer Survey of the County of Gloucester (fol. 163, 166),
we find a class of " Liberi homines/' with the peculiar appellation Radche-
nistri, who ploughed and harrowed at the court of the lord. The most
remarkable notice of them is that in the Survey of the Manor of Der-
heste, part of the possessions of St. Peter's Westminster. " De terra
hujus manerii tenebant Radchen 1 , id est, liberi homines, tempore Regis
Edwardi, qui tamen omnes ad opus domini arabant et herciabant et falcabant
et metebant." There were twelve or more tenants of this order holding as
much as one and two hides each. In the Survey of the Manor of Che-
mesege, in the County of Worcester, (fol. 172b,) an exemption from that
praedial service which consisted in attendance upon the Precariaa or Boon
days, seems to be implied in the words " excepto rustico opere, sicut deprecari
poterat a praposito ;" obligation to this service being on the other hand
implied in a corresponding phrase (fol. 174 a): " Deserviebant sicut ab
episcopo deprecari poterant." The tenants of the lands of St. Peter's West-
INTRODUCTION. xxix
minster, in Worcestershire, performed the following services (fol. 174 b) :
At Brigstelmistune the Villani and Bordarii ploughed and sowed six acres
with their own seed ; at Aichintune six Coliberti performed the like services
upon twelve acres, and two tenants, Dunning and Brictrie one holding
four, the other three, hides of land, mowed in the lord's meadows, by
custom, one day. At Longedune, in the time of the Confessor, nine " Liberi
homines," who held eighteen hides of lands, mowed in the meadows one day,
and did service as they were enjoined. The "Radmani" (probably the
Rtidchenistri) performed the same service at Poiwic ; the phrase " serviebant
sicut alii liberi homines " occurs also several times. To the manor of
Wicelbold (fol. 176b), which belonged to Earl Godwin, there were attached
thirteen burgesses in Wick, " Secantes duobus diebus in Augusto et Marcio
et servientes curise." The account of the number of acres ploughed
and sown with their own wheat by the tenants of the Royal Manor of
Leominster, in the County of Hereford, (fol. 179,) is remarkable, as being
a double return, not only as is customary of the number of tenants of all
classes at the two periods, the time of the Confessor and of the Conqueror,
but also of the number of acres sown at both periods, being at the earlier
140, and at the later period 125 acres. There were also twenty -five
hides of land which, T. R. E., were appendant to that manor, but which,
T. R. W., had been apportioned amongst twelve or more Norman chiefs, who
were tenants in capite. The rents which were payable for these lands to
the Manor of Leominster, T. R. E., are enumerated (fol. 180 b). There
is some little obscurity in the terms of the return, which makes it doubtful
whether these rents continued to be paid ; but it would seem that, whether
the ancient services were then rendered or not, there had been an obliga-
tion upon the tenants to perform work for two days. The last and most
interesting account which we have to produce from the Exchequer Survey
(fol. 269 b), in illustration of the early existence of prsedial services, similar
to those of later times, is one which relates to a large tract of country lying
between the Ribble and the Mersey, comprising five hundreds, Derby,
Newton, Walintune, Blackburn, and Layland, which contained 188 manors,
but which were estimated to hidage at no more than ninety-nine hides, the
Royal Manors being those which gave the names to the hundreds. More
than thirty Thanes held manors within the Royal Manor of Derby. The
customs upon which they were held are fully enumerated, the particular
XXX INTRODUCTION.
custom which elucidates our present inquiry being this, that every thane
was bound, on one day in August, to send his reapers to cut the crops of
the King. In the Hundred and Manor of Newton the free men (liberi
homines) had the same customs as the men of Derby ; but the labour
service was greater, being two days' reaping in the Royal farms (culturis)
instead of one. Salford and Layland lay at the greatest distance ; and it is
specially recorded of the men of those manors, that their " consuetudines "
were the same with those of Derby, &c., with this exception, that they did
not perform work "ad aulam Regis," nor reap in the month of August.
The whole contents of the Boldon Book, or Survey of the Manors of the
Bishoprick of Durham, in 1182, published in the Appendix to Domesday,*
might be quoted in proof of predial services performed in the north of
England most closely resembling those of the south in 1222 ; and when it
is considered how remote the dioceses of Durham and London are from
each other, there seems no other method of accounting for such a similarity
in the occupation of land and the relations of tenants to their lords, except
on the supposition of a common origin, in some fundamental principle of
law, antecedent possibly by centuries to the time when we first find mention
of them, as legal rights and legal duties.
The inference to be drawn from this comparison of the prsedial services,
due in the thirteenth century from tenants of manors, with the services
recorded in the Exchequer Domesday, is scarcely of less extent than this ;
that the social condition of England, as respects the relation between land-
lord and tenant, which we find exemplified in the manorial history of the
thirteenth century, is of Anglo-Saxon character and origin ; and that the
Norman Conquest, in creating a number of powerful barons, and depressing
the Anglo-Saxon thanes, did not alter the relation between the owner and
the occupier of the soil, which had existed for several centuries. Nor does
this conclusion rest upon the Exchequer Domesday alone.
In the " Ancient Laws and Institutes of England " there is a remarkable
document, entitled, " Rectitudines Singularum Personarum," which presents
to us an enumeration of the several classes of persons employed on a
domain, of the services to be rendered by each, and of the reciprocal duty
of the lord to those engaged on his land. The place assigned to it by the
learned Editor is betweeen the laws of Cnut and those of Edward the Con-
* Vol. I. p. 431.
INTRODUCTION. XXXI
fessor. Many of the usages therein mentioned are not perfectly under-
stood ; but the general character of the services described in the " Recti-
tudines," so closely corresponds with the services which the St. Paul's
Domesday states to be due from different classes of the tenantry, as to
render it almost certain, that the " Rectitudines " represent only an older
form of the same national institutions, the character of which, as afterwards
modified, is so plainly described in the records of the twelfth and thirteenth
centuries. The first part of this document relates to four classes of persons,
and treats of Thanes law, Geneates right, Cotsetlan right, and Gebures right ;
the services of the three latter classes being all predial, and being distin-
guished from each other either as occasional, or as being continued
throughout the whole year, on one or more days of the week. The Geneate,
the Kotsetle, and the Gebur, appear to represent the Villani, Cotarii, and
Bordarii of the Exchequer Domesday, though placed in a different order
of precedence. In the list of services due from the Geneate or Villanus,
there are many which are not found in the Records of the St. Paul's
manors to be due from the Liberi homines, whom we considered to be
identified with the Villani of Domesday ; and yet, when the Geneate is said
to be bound "averiare," " summagium ducere," "metere etfalcare," "stabili-
tatem observare," " edificare et circumsepire," just as the Hidarius of Hor-
lock was bound, " falcare unam acram prati," " metere in autumno
iii. acras," &c. " invenire in autumno iii. carros," " portare clausuram de
parco et claudere vi. perticatas circa curiam," " facere bovariam ad suum
cibum proprium," " de maireno domini, quod scindent et parabunt et caria-
bunt, innovare granarium," the resemblance is so striking as to leave little
doubt of the identity of the two classes from whom the same services were
due. The accuracy of the conclusion is still more apparent, when the
services of the " Geneate," which were occasional, are contrasted with the
daily services throughout the year, described in the Rectitudines as due
from the two inferior classes, the Cotsetles and the Geburi. The Cotsetle
worked for his lord every Monday ; in some places his labour in the month
of August was limited to three days, but in others it extended to the whole
month, and it was his privilege to hold five acres of land, more or less,
according to the custom of the place. The Gebur's service was more ex-
tensive ; he never worked less than two days in the week, and that through-
out the whole year, and in addition to this' service he had payments to make
xxxii INTRODUCTION.
of various kinds ; these services being the counterpart of those of the tenants
of Ardley (p. 27), who laboured every Monday (and who at Castle Combe
were termed Monday men), of the Operarii at Sandon (p. 18), who held
five acres, and of the other tenants upon all the manors of St. Paul's who
were bound to constant weekly service. The Gebur and the Geneate
existed as distinct orders at so early a period as the reign of Ina (Laws 6,
19, 22) ; that the prsedial services, described in the " Rectitudines " as due
from them, were of as great antiquity as the orders themselves, is probable
from the repeated mention in the " Rectitudines " of the great variety of the
services, dependant upon local custom ; and which may be attributed to the
progress of time modifying the customs, as well as to differences existing in
a remote age.
We conclude with remarking, that, if prior to the Conquest not
only the duties of the labouring classes, but, as appears in the " Rectitu-
dines," the Thanes' law also, was well defined, and yet so varied, that from
different lands the King could demand greater services, it becomes further
probable, that in an age in which personal and prsedial rights were described,
the names of those, from whom they were due, were described also ; and
although we may be disinclined to give credit to the statement of Ingulfu^
that Alfred caused the divisions of his kingdom to be enrolled in a book
resembling the Exchequer Domesday, we may yet be willing to accept the
references, which are made in the u Liber Evidentiarum Monast. S. Augustini
Cantuariensis '' (Bibl. Arundel, 310) in four separate instances, to a
Domesday of Saint Edward, as indicating, that the survey of the Conqueror
had its precedent in the previous age, and, as would appear from the
Exchequer Domesday itself, that the jurors of the hundreds performed a
work in making their returns, which was not altogether new to them.*
Manorial property was a possession differing in many respects from what
is now called landed estate. It was not a breadth of land, which the lord
might cultivate or not as he pleased, suffer it to be inhabited, or reduce it
to solitude and waste ; but it was a dominion or empire, within which the
lord was the superior over subjects of different ranks, his power over them
not being absolute, but limited by law and custom. The lord of a manor,
who had received by grant from the crown, saca and soca, tol and team,
&c., was not merely a proprietor, but a prince; and his courts were not only
* See Gentleman's Magazine, April, 1852, p, 369.
INTRODUCTION. xxxiii
courts of law, but frequently of criminal justice. The demesne, the assised,
and the waste lands were his ; but the usufruct of the assised lands belonged,
on conditions, to the tenants, and the waste lands were not so entirely his,
that he could exclude the tenants from the use of them. It was this double
capacity, in which the lord stood to his tenants, as the arbiter of their rights,
as well as the owner of the land, which rendered it necessary to the due
discharge of the duty of his station, that the lord of a manor should be
such a person as Fleta describes, Book II. cap. 71, 2, " Truthful in his
words, faithful in his actions, a lover of justice and of God, a hater of
fraud and wrong ; since it most concerns him not to act with violence, or
according to his own will, but to follow advice, not being guided by some
young hanger on, some jester or flatterer, but by the opinion of persons
learned in the law, men faithful and honest, and of much experience."
Manors were petty royalties ; the court and household of the lord re-
sembling in some degree that of the King. In Fleta (II. 2-18) an account
is given of the officers of the royal household, the Senescallus Hospitii
Regis, who held his court in the palace ; the Marescallus, the Camerarius,
the Clericus coquinae, and Clericus panetarii ; but in the latter part of the
book, which treats of the management of manors, we find the lord of the
manor attended by the Senescallus, who held his courts, by the Marescallus,
who had the charge of his stud, and by the Coquus, who rendered an
account of the daily expenditure to the Senescallus.
Regarded as landed estate, the manorial possessions of the Sovereign
did not differ from those of his subjects ; the profits, which were derived
to the Crown from the manors, which formed the Terra Regis in the various
counties, did not differ from those which the Barons or Bishops, or the Canons
of St. Paul's derived from the manors in their hands. We have a proof of
the correctness of this statement in the fact, that the Extenta Maneriorum,"*
which contains the Articles of Inquiry made by the officers of the Exchequer
into the condition and value of the royal manors, is the counterpart, both of
the Articles of Inquiry which Fleta recommends every lord of a manor to
use for his own information, and also of those which are to be found in this
volume (p. 133), as the Articuli Visitationis Maneriorum, exhibited by the
Chapter of St. Paul's to their tenants in the year 1290. Whether a manor
was held by a sovereign or by a subject, there was the same need of subor-

dinate agents to take charge of the territory, to cultivate the demesne, to
exact the rents and services of the tenants, to gather in the produce, to
transport it to the palace of the sovereign, or the chief residence of the
lord, and to render an account of expenditure and receipt ; and it must be
evident, that if the manors of any of the nobility approached in number to
the manors of the crown, the number of their officers must have approached
in number to the officers of the Exchequer. As respects the royal manors,
the Ballivus of the hundred appears to have accounted to the Vicecomes
of the county, who rendered his account to the Treasurer and Barons of
the Exchequer, a court which had the power to compel any of the debtors
of the Crown to render a just account. The statute law however authorised
the lords of manors to constitute for themselves a court, with powers over
their debtors or officers of account scarcely less than those of the Exchequer.
By sec. xxiii. of the Provisiones of Hen. III., repeated in the Statutes of
Marlborough 52 Hen. III. sec. xxiii., and strengthened by the Statutes of
the Exchequer,* power was given to lords of manors to assign to their
sergeants, bailiffs, chamberlains, and other receivers, Auditors of accounts,
which Auditors could commit to jail any person, certified by them to be in
arrear as to their account; there to remain in irons, at their own cost, until
they had fully satisfied their lords in respect of their arrears.
For the management of the legal business of a manor, the collection of
the revenue, and the cultivation of the demesne, the lord required three
officers, the Senescallus, the Ballivus, and the Praepositus.
The Senescallus (who is represented in modern times by the Steward of
courts) is described in Fleta ii. 72, as the Senescallus Communis ;f because,
as it appears, the several manors, which belonged to his lord, were all com-
mitted to his care, though it was not expected, that he should always per-
form his duty in person, nor oftener than was requisite for him to become
fully acquainted with the manors. The person proper to be appointed to
this office was one, who, having all the moral qualities of faithfulness,

f In a book of St. Paul's, marked D, no longer extant, but of which a table of con-
tents is given in Dean Lyseux's Catalogue, A.D. 1447, there was this entry : ' Item

temporalem Decani et Capituli."
INTRODUCTION. XXXV
sobriety, and discretion, was well acquainted with the law and customs of
the country (provincia) and with the nature of his office, in order to main-
taining the rights of his lord, and instructing the under bailiffs in all their
errors and doubts. It was his duty to hold the manorial courts, and
generally to be acquainted with every particular relative to the manor, its
extent, its cultivation, the number of teams and the condition of the stock,
the conduct and behaviour of the bailiffs, the fines, amercements, reliefs,
heriots, offerings, and sales, and the persons who have received such monies
and so also of wardships and maritagia and of injuries or death happen-
ing to the stock. He received also the account of the daily expen-
diture from the various officers of the household, but no money of any
kind belonging to the lord came into his own hands. He was the legal
adviser of his lord, the judge of his court, the guardian of his rights, and
the person who was acquainted with every particular, as to the possessions
and duties of every one connected with the management or cultivation of
the manor. There were no rights or duties of which the Court of Exche-
quer took cognisance on the part of the King, of which, on a smaller scale,
the Senescallus had not also cognisance on the part of the lord, the tenants
of the manor standing in a relation to the lord, analogous to that in which
tenants in capite and others stood to the Crown.
Next in order to the Senescallus stood the Ballivus That he was an
officer of authority may be gathered from the mention made of him at
Barling (p. 66), as directing the labour of one of the operarii ; and at
Nastok (p. 75) as surveying the windfall timber. He is also described (at
p. 86) as the Ballivus manerii, who attended at the hundred court twice in
the year to perform service for the manor of Chingford ; and it is also
probable, that he is the officer, who as Serviens or Bedellus curis3 directed
the application of the labour of the tenants on the same manor (p. 86 and
89). But for the fuller account of his duties we must again refer to Fleta
(c. 73), from whom we learn, that though generally charged with the cultiva-
tion of the lands of the demesne, his chief labour and responsibility consisted
in a diligent superintendence and inspection of the works of ploughing,
mowing, reaping, carrying, &c. which were due from the tenants, and to be
performed by them ; in taking care to summon all the teams, and to prevent
their casting off, before they had performed their day's work, to measure
the work done, and to ascertain whether it was good. Upon the Ballivus
XXXvi INTRODUCTION.
lay the duty, not only of ploughing the lands by the labour of the tenants,
but also of getting in the seed; and the task was one, which manifestly
required the utmost vigilance, when they who ploughed the lands, and
provided to a great extent the seed required, were not paid for their labour,
and had no interest in ploughing and sowing lands to increase the profit of
the lord at their expense. If the Ballivus had power to exact the labour,
he had also every opportunity to harass the tenants in the discharge of his
office; and therefore Fleta includes amongst the qualifications of the Balli-
vus not only truthfulness, diligence, fidelity, and knowledge of the ordinary
laws pertaining to his office, but also " quod sit ita Justus, quod ob viri-
dictam vel cupiditatem non quserat versus tenentes Domini, vel aliquos sibi
subditos, occasiones injustas, per quas destrui (destringi ?) deberent seu
graviter amerciari."
In the lists of the jurors prefixed to the Inquisitions of the Manors
of St. Paul's in 1^22 we find frequent mention of the Prsepositus, at
Kadendon, Sandun, Chingeford, Sutton, and Bernes. From the Survey of
1279 we learn, that certain of the tenants were compellable to accept this
office ; that it was an annual office ; and that whilst performing its duties
the tenant was exonerated from other services ; and from Fleta, (c. 76)
that the Praepositus was elected by the Villata, presented to the lord,
or to his steward, and by him invested without delay in the office.
His duties were supplementary to those of the Ballivus ; he shared with
him in exacting the services of the teams, and getting in the seed; but
besides this he had the care of the manure of the farmyard, and the
spreading it upon the land ; and to see that those, whose duty it was to
cart the manure, performed each day the labour which was due. Besides
other duties, he had the superintendence of the cattle, the horses, oxen,
and cows, and also of the buildings and dead stock of the manor. We
might, perhaps, term him the " foreman " of the labourers ; and, as elected
by the villata, the protector of his fellows, in that he adjusted or
settled, in conjunction with the Ballivus, the amount of labour to be
exacted from the tenants, or to be compounded for in money ; for we read
in Fleta (c. 72) that it was the duty of the Pra3positus every week to
calculate with the Bailiff the customs (consuetudines) of the week, and keep
a tally of the days' works, that so the arrears of the days' works might be
ascertained, and, being converted into money-payment, the revenue of the
INTRODUCTION. XXXvii
lord might be increased. The Praepositus had also charge of the granary,
to deliver by tallies corn to be baked, and malt to be brewed, and the
bran and pollard to be used in making bread for the domestics, and in
feeding the teams and the dogs It would be foreign to the purpose of this
Preface, to exhibit more fully the description given by Fleta of the internal
condition of a manor, and the method of its cultivation ; enough, however,
may have been adduced to explain the relation, in which the tenants of
manors stood to their lords, as cultivators of the demesne lands, and to
show, how intricate must have been the system of account between the lord
and the tenants, with lands minutely divided amongst a perpetually-varying
tenantry ; and also how dependent the lords were, upon the faithfulness of
their Senescalli, Ballivi, and Pra3positi.
Jt appears then, that a Manor was both a Seignory and also a Farm; a
Seignory, as respected the occupiers of the lands held by the payment of
services, rents, reliefs, and heriots ; and a Farm, as respected the demesne
lands ; the Senescallus, or Steward, being the representative of the lord and
the judge of the manorial courts ; and the Ballivus being the officer, who
exacted the services due from the tenants for the cultivation of the demesne.
In the case of a lord possessing only a single manor, it is obvious that,
though he was the chief of many tenants, his wealth consisted only in the
produce of a portion of the land, and the annual or occasional payments of
the tenants ; and if we might suppose that, in the earlier division of the
Anglo-Saxon kingdoms into manors, each manor had its separate lord, the
lords, as a body, would have been scarcely so wealthy as the ordinary
class of country gentlemen of our time. Such, we may gather from the
Exchequer Domesday, were the Thanes of the time of the Confessor, whose
lands and manors were conferred by the score and the hundred upon the
Norman chiefs, whom William brought with him into England, and who
formed a Baronial nobility, fewer by far in number than the Anglo-Saxon
Thanes, but greatly exceeding that of the Anglo-Saxon Earls. The Norman
lord, on becoming the owner of fifty manors and dispossessing the fifty
thanes, does not appear to have altered the character and relation of the
tenants ; the Villani and Bordarii and Cotarii and Servi remained in the
same position, transferring to the use of one chief lord the services and
customs before paid to the several owners, who had been dispossessed.
It has been before observed, that manorial property, whether belonging
XXXviii INTRODUCTION.
to secular persons or to ecclesiastical bodies, was identical in its character, as
regarded the rights of the lord, the services of the tenants, and the general
method of culture. The lords of manors, whether laymen or clergymen, were
equally dependent upon the seasons, for the extent of their crops and the
realization of their incomes. Against this uncertainty the layman, who had
no interests to consult, but those of himself and his family, could easily pro-
vide ; but not so the dean and canons of a cathedral, who had to furnish a
fixed stipend and certain allowances from day to day for a large number of
ministers and servants, forming a household of no inconsiderable extent ;
the want of maintenance would be at once the disorganisation, if not the
dissolution, of the body. It was therefore necessary, that arrangements
should be made, for drawing from the estates of the cathedral a permanent
income and definite quantities of produce, and by a sacrifice of a portion of
the whole value of the estates to secure the remainder as a fixed and
constant revenue. For this purpose it appears that, after appropriating
certain lands, as prebends, for the support of each of the thirty Canons, the
remaining manors of the cathedral were formed into a separate stock,
denominated the " Communa," the management of which was the joint
care of the resident members of the Chapter, as the separate prebends were
of each of the Canons. Every manor of the Communa was placed " ad
firmam " in the hands of a "Firmarius;" who exercising all the rights,
and performing all the duties of the Chapter, as the Lord of the Manor, took
to his own use all the profits of the manor which were over and above the
"firmse," which it was his duty to render, and which consisted of certain money-
payments and so many quarters of wheat, oats, and barley. The Firmarius
held a beneficial lease. The Anglo-Saxon noun peopne is not " a farm," but
" food ;" and the verb peoj*mian is not to " farm or cultivate," but " to
supply with food ; " and the " firmarius " was so termed, not because he
cultivated the land, but because he was bound to furnish peof me or food
of a certain amount for the supply of the cathedral body.*
It is probable, that this mode of letting to farm the lands of monasteries
and conventual bodies was in existence under the Anglo-Saxon kings ; and
* Kfirma might be rendered either in produce or money, as was the case in the
manor of Belchamp (see p. 129), and hence the word/rwa acquired a secondary sense,
and in process of time an estate "farmed" meant only an estate "rented." (See
Spelraan, in voce Firma.)

that whenever a manor is described in the Exchequer Domesday as " de
victu monachorum," the term implies, that the manor was in an especial
manner a purveyor of food to the monastery. The records of St. Paul's do
not supply us with information upon this subject of an earlier date than the
time of Dean Wulman, who was contemporary with Maurice, Bishop of
London, who was consecrated in 1085.
Lists of the " firmae," as furnished by the different manors at two periods,
are contained in Book L. ; but that in the " Statuta Majora " represents the
firmae at the end of the thirteenth century. We have thought it convenient
to exhibit the earlier and the later lists in parallel columns, as pointing
out not only the specific character of a " firma " as food or provision
for a household for weeks and days, but also the alteration of the num-
ber of the firmae, which in the earlier times were a supply of nearly fifty-
three weeks, but afterwards of only forty-five.

xl INTRODUCTION.
This appropriation of the manors of a cathedral to furnish a weekly
supply of food, may be considered as an illustration of the notices, which
perpetually recur in the Exchequer Domesday, of articles of produce, as
well as sums of money, received from manors and counties under the
denomination l( firma noctis," and " firma diei." Sir Henry Ellis, in his In-
troduction to Domesday, p Ixxii., enumerates thirty-one manors as rendering
such firmse to the crown in the time of the Confessor. From the fact that
the manors in the counties of Wiltshire, Dorsetshire, and Somersetshire,
then subject to the firma?, were not only royal manors, but specially de-
scribed as having never paid "geld," and in some instances its being unknown
to the jurors how many hides the manor contained, it may be fairly inferred,
that those manors were the inheritance of the Anglo-Saxon kings ; and though
from those alone, in the time of the Confessor, produce was supplied equal
to the maintenance of the royal household for only a few nights or days, it is
probable that in still more ancient times the like provision was made for
the whole year, according to the practice existing a century later in the
cathedral of St. Paul. The amount of produce constituting the "firma
unius noctis " is not mentioned ; but the sum paid by the county of Oxford,
as a " firma " for three nights, was one hundred and fifty pounds. And
though, at first sight, the expenditure of so large a sum as fifty pounds
(equal in weight to 150/. of our present silver coinage, and in value to ten
or twelve times that sum) in a single night, would be scarcely credible ; still,
upon supposition, that these were the greater " firma? " expended at the
great festivals, when the King was surrounded by all his earls, and thanes, and
bishops, and displayed his hospitality to the Court, and feasted the people of
a city or town, the amount would hardly seem excessive, even supposing
that the 50/. passed at once into the Royal Exchequer, unimpaired by fees
and perquisites to the officers.
The commutation into money rent of that fixed quantity of the produce
of a manor, which was to be rendered in kind, was a process as natural as it
was convenient ; and it would appear, that a ' firma " paid in money was at
one time distinguished by the term firma alba." It is probable, that many
of the manors belonging to the Conqueror paid their rents to the Ex-
chequer in money, and not in kind ; and yet the custom of rendering the
firmaB in kind was still so common, that the author of the " Liber Niger
Scaccarii " (quoted by Spelman, in voce Firma), relates it, as the tradition of
INTRODUCTION. xli
his time, that in the primitive condition of the kingdom after the Conquest,
provisions, and not gold or silver, were paid to the kings from their lands,
out of which distribution was made of necessaries for the daily use of the
royal household ; payment from other sources, and for other purposes,
being in money. The practice continued during the whole of the reign of
William, and down to the time of Henry his son ; the same author stating,
that he had been acquainted with persons, who had themselves seen those
provisions brought, at fixed times, from the estates of the king to the
palace. Rents appear to have been paid in kind to the Chapters, for some
time after they ceased to be so paid to the Exchequer. The general un-
willingness of churchmen to admit of change, would be of itself sufficient to
account for the continuance of a system of payment, after it had fallen else-
where into desuetude ; even had there not been found in the cathedral body
a class of persons, namely, the Firmarii, who derived a personal benefit
from the ancient system, and whose relation to the Cathedral, as well as the
duties incumbent upon them, we shall now describe.
The earliest record of a manor belonging to St. Paul's being let to farm
relates to the manor of Barnes, which in the year 1108 was leased to two
brothers, William and Walbertus, for the term of their lives, for a gift of
ten shillings, and at the annual rent of eight pounds and a sextarius of wine.
(See p. 127.) A lease of the manor of Cadendon was granted to Baldewin
the son of Hugo, one of the canons of the church, prior to the year 1138,
Willielmus the Dean, who died in that year, having been a witness to the
execution of the lease. (See p. 124.) The leases of Runwell and Adulves-
nasa (see page 125), the one to Richard the Archdeacon, the other to William
of Occhendon, are of as early a date as 1 150 ; but whether this William de
Occhendon, as well as one Humfridus Bucvinte, who at that time held a lease
of Kens worth (see page 128), were Canons of the Cathedral is uncertain.
The Inquisition of 1181 (see p. Ill) records the names of all the Firmarii
of the manors at that period, of whom Nicholas de Sigillo, Ricardus Ruffus,
Gilbertus, William Archdeacon of Gloucester, and Nicholas Archdeacon of
London, were Canons of the Cathedral; but whether Hubertus Archdeacon
of Canterbury, who was the Firmarius of Cadendon and Kensworth, Robert
de Fulham, William and Theodoric, Odo de Dammartino, Johannes de Ma-
regni, and Johannes, who held Wicham, Tillingham, Norton, Nastock, and
Bernes respectively to farm, were also Canons, does not appear. The same

xlii INTRODUCTION.
remark is applicable also to the Firmarii of the manors in 1222, but with
this addition, that some relatives of the canons appear to have been lessees,
the lease continuing in the same family for more than a single generation.
Thus we find William de Burnham holding the Manors of Beauchamp and
Adulvesnasa, which had been held by Alardus de Burnham the Dean; and
John de d'no Martino held the manor of Norton, which Odo de d'no Mar-
tino had before held ; and Johannes de Marinis was in 1181 Firmarius of
Nastock, prior to which time Hugo de Marinis was Dean. A century
later, in 1315 (the Deanery was then vacant), all the manors were held
to farm by the following Canons : 1. Richard de Neuport, Archdeacon of
Middlesex, held two manors, Adulvesnasa and Chingford ; 2. Richard de
Gravesend, the Treasurer, held four, Cadendon with Kensworth, Ardeley,
and Runwell; 3. Robert de Clothall, the Chancellor, had Barling; 4.
Thomas de Northfleet had Drayton ; 5. Thomas de Cobham had Bernes
and Wicham ; 6. Henricus de Saracenis had Sandon with Norton and
Tillingham ; 7. Walterus de Thorp had Sutton ; 8. Johannes de Ditton had
Beauchamp ; 9. William de Chadelshunt had Nastok ; and 1 0. Robert de
Baldock had Heybrigge.
It would be foreign to our present subject to explain in detail the labo-
rious services during a year of probation, by which Canons of St. Paul's
became Residentiaries ; it will be sufficient to remark, that of the Thirty
Canons only a part were Residentiaries, that the number continually varied,
that at the Reformation not more than three or four of the Canons qualified
themselves for the office, and that during the thirteenth and fourteenth
centuries the Residentiary Canons, or, as they were also termed, the Stagiarii,
were without exception the Firmarii of the Manors. In the year 1283,
when the Deanery was vacant by the translation of Thomas de Ingoldes-
thorp to the bishoprick of Rochester, Ralph de Baudake, then Archdeacon
of Middlesex and Canon of the Church, had the lease of Sutton granted
to him, " ob meritum residential ;" and there are accounts in later docu-
ments of meetings of the Residentiaries upon the death or removal of one
of their body, at which each of them, according to their seniority, and
"juxta cursum residential," either chose for himself the lease, or declined
to take it, as each of the manors, which had been held by the late member
of the Chapter, was submitted to his option. The office of Firmarius was
a source of wealth, and was limited to those who were Canons of the
INTRODUCTION. xliii
Cathedral, the practice of granting- manors to farm to other persons than
members of the Church having formerly led to inconveniences, and en-
dangered the property of the Chapter. In the earlier leases we find the
Chapter taking sureties for the performance of the covenants in the lease,
and in specific terms guarding against the assumption on "the part of the
heirs of the lessee of any hereditary right in the manor.
The Firmarius on his acceptance of a lease, like the incoming tenant of
modern times, had the particulars of the estate described to him, and the con-
dition in which it was to be rendered, at the termination of the lease. It
must however be borne in mind, that the state of the manors, as respected
their cultivation, and the quality and quantity of the stock, was not uniform,
and that accordingly there is considerable variety in the covenants of the
leases. When possession was given to the Firmarius by some of the
canons deputed for that purpose, an inventory was taken of the effects upon
the estate and a return made in writing to the Chapter, (p. 130, line 4.)
In the Inventory (which always formed part of the lease) a minute de-
scription was given of the mansion and its buildings; the halla or aula,
its length and breadth and height, distinguishing the height above the
tie-beam from that below it ; the domus between the halla and the thalamus,
the height, breadth, and length of each being similarly described, (p. 129,
line 2.) A mansion of a different construction contained an aula, camera,
and tresaritia, et duae privatae domus. (p. 132, line 1.) In another in-
stance the hall had on the south "unum appenditium " (p 136, line 18);
attached to the dwelling-house were the coquina (kitchen), the bracinium
(brewery), and the malthouse, the dairy, the henhouse (p. 132), the ba-
terissa (washhouse), the porcaria (pigstye), the oxshed, the sheepshed,
the lambhouse. (p. 129.)
In the inventories of the live stock in the leases of the twelfth century we
find oxen valued each at 2s. 4d. and at 3s. Horses, in one place (p. 122), at
10*., but in others at 3*. (p. 1 26), and also at 5*., 4s., and 3s. Sheep at 4d. ;
pigs, 5d., 8d., and 12d.; a sow with nine pigs, 19c?.; goats at 4d. In six
plough-teams, five of them having ten oxen and one only eight, the oxen
were valued at 3s. each. Besides these, the geese, the cocks, and hens, and
capons found a place in the Inventory, as well as the old cat and her young
ones (p. 132) ; nor were the tables and benches, the pots and pans, the
xliv INTRODUCTION.
leaden troughs, bowls, mills, hatchets, and other implements of the farm-
house, omitted. The barns and granges were all carefully enumerated,
and the length and breadth and height of them were so accurately de-
scribed, that plans of them might be drawn from the description. At
Wicham the largest barn was 55 feet long, but at Walton there was one
of 160 feet; and, as the barns were received by the Firmarius more or
less full of all kinds of grain, he was bound to surrender them in the same
state.
The lands of the demesne appear generally to have had two parts of them
sown with winter and spring corn, the remaining third being fallow; and
as the Firmarius found the land sown with wheat, barley, oats, beans, or
peas, or in fallow, so he was to render them. At Nastock (p. 133), the term
for which the Firmarius held the lease expired at Michaelmas, on which
day he was bound to deliver up the great grange full, on one side of winter
and on the other side of spring corn, and all the hay of the year, with
the whole of the course in fallow, forty acres of it being twice ploughed
(rebinatse), and folded and manured according to his means.
The Firmarius, as representing the Chapter, made agreements with the
tenants for taking lands to rent, which the Chapter was sometimes bound
by the lease to confirm (p. 125); in other cases the previous approval of
the Chapter appears to have been necessary, as may be seen in the articles
of visitation, (p. 157*.)
The Churches or parsonages of the manors were frequently included in
the lease. Thus at p. 128 we read " tradiderunt ei canonici liberam
ecclesiam ab omni persona," without a parson or rector, and in that
condition it was to be restored. In the Manor of Adulvesnasa there
were three churches, at Walton, Kirkby, and Thorp ; and it was the con-
dition, upon which Richard the Archdeacon of Middlesex held them about
the year 1150 (see page 132), that he should keep them free in his own
hand, without appointing any parson to any of them, so that on the sur-
render of the manor into the hands of the Chapter, the churches should be
found without any parson appointed to them.
In this way the Firmarius of the early periods held both the manor
and the church to farm ; a practice strongly denounced in the prologue to
the inquisition of the churches belonging to the manors in 1181 (see
INTRODUCTION. xlv
page 1 46) ; but as it, appears, rather for the sake of preventing temporal
and spiritual dues from being confounded, to the diminution of the latter,
than with the intention of securing the revenues to the officiating clergy.
The Dean and Chapter kept the parsonages in their own hands, but as is
stated, they would appoint a vicar ; for whose support, if the altarage alone
was sufficient, with that he was to be content ; if it was insufficient, some
decent addition was to be made at will out of the tithes. All other profits
of the church, as well as the greater tithes, were to be reserved for the
Canons, or be let to farm to the chaplains or clerks at an annual rent.
That lords of manors, being members of a cathedral, should appropriate
to the use of their body the tithes of their lands, may not seem so
much out of course ; there is reason however to believe, that the lords of
manors in general, of that age, were not satisfied with the simple right of
advowson, and the privilege of nominating a clerk to the church ; and the
numerous instances, which occur in the Exchequer Domesday, of churches,
and even parts of churches, valued with the manors, especially in the
county of Norfolk, seem to indicate, that the revenues of the Church, as well
as the right of presentation, were in some manner divided to the advantage
of the lords.
It appears from the inquisition of 1181 (pages 140 152), that the
Canons of St. Paul's derived a revenue from nearly all the churches of their
manors, and that it was paid either directly to themselves by some Clericus,
to whom they were entrusted, or to their Firmarius. Thus Cadendon paid
to the canons 20*. by the hands of Rodbert and Rodbert, clerks ; Kens-
worth 20*. by Augustine the Clerk ; Ardeleia was held by Hamo Clericus,
and paid three marks and a half; Willesdon paid eight marks, by Germanus
the Clerk ; Tidwoldintun paid 20*. by the hands of Hugo de London.
Other Churches paid as follows : Sandon, which in the time of King Henry
was not in the firma of the manor, and rendered nothing, paid five marks
to the canons by the hands of Richard the Canon, the Firmarius ; Tilling-
ham one mark, by the Firmarius ; Barling 20*. ; Nastock 60*., Drayton
13*. 4^., Sutton 10*., in the same manner. The Firmarius derived a reve-
nue to himself from the following churches : From Waleton 20*., from
Thorp 20*.
Only three of the Churches had a " Persona," namely, Belchamp,
xlvi INTRODUCTION.
Wicham, and Run well. But there was a Sacerdos " at Bernes. The
parson of Belchamp, however, paid a mark to the Firmarius, and the parson
of Wicham two shillings annually to the canons.*
The privileges and emoluments of the Firmarii, as the leaseholders of the
manors, and representatives of the Chapter, being thus described, we pro-
ceed to give an account of the " firma " which they rendered.
Each * firma" at St, Paul's was considered to be the " firma " or food
for a single week. If a manor rendered several firmae in the course of the
year, it was sometimes agreed that the payment should be wholly in money,
in which case the " firma" was said to be " in denariis"; but the firma
generally consisted of produce as well as money. In the leases of the
twelfth century we read, that Wicham was leased for life, on the condition of
paying in the first year IviiLs. iiiic?. and one " parva firma panis et cervisise
cum v\\d. elemosinae," and in the following year two similar firmse, and with
each fifty shillings in money ; the firma to be rendered on the feast of St.
Martin and the Nativity of John the Baptist, being Sunday, or on the
Sunday preceding. In the lease of Cadendon (p. 124) we read of the
" plenaria firma," but we have no trace in later documents of the distinction
between the " plenaria " and the " parva firma." In the same lease we
find mention of another sum of money, termed " liberatio," which amounted
to II. 13s. 4d. ; the full description of a firma being that in the manor
of Sandon (p. 134), " firma, in pane et cervisia, et liberatione, et ele-
mosina, et constantiis pistrini et bracini," the firma in pane et cervisia
being produce in grain ; the liberatio, money for wages ; the elemosina,
alms to be distributed at the Cathedral ; and the constantiae pistrini et
bracini, a payment for wood to be used in the bakehouse and brewery.
The reader will bear in mind that this description of the firma is of the
early date of 1150 : for the appropriation of the firmse we must refer to the
Compotus Maneriorum (p. 153 164), which exhibits the number and
quality of the firmse, as paid and received at St. Paul's, at the conclusion of
the thirteenth century. In that document we find the payment in produce
distinguished from the money payments, the latter described as payments
* In the small sums still paid to the Cathedrals by the Incumbents of Parochial
Churches, under the denomination of Pensions, we have traces of ownership exercised
by the Lords of Manors over the spiritual revenues of the parish.
INTRODUCTION. xlvii
" ad denas et ad denum denarium," and also as " dizense,"* or as otherwise
written " disanae ; " the former as " firmse." A single dizena amounted to
three marks (forty shillings) and seven pence, of which two marks and a
half (U. 135. 4d.) was for the liberatio, or money payments for wages, half
a mark (6*. 8d.) for the constantia pistrini et bracini, i. e. wood for the
brewery and bakehouse, and the remaining seven pence for alms.
The dizena has been thus divided on the authority of the statement
made in pages 155, 156 ; which shews that after deducting the sums, either
" ad defectum bracini," or " ad supplementum," there always remain
the two marks and a half, II. 13*. 4d. Thus the payment from Beau-
champ, 60*. II. 6s. 8d. = U. 13*. 4d. The payment from Barling,
40*. 6*. 8d. = \L 13*. 4d. That the half-mark thus described as paid
ad defectum bracini, or ad supplementum, was for wood used in brewing
and baking is shown by the statement in p. 160, that with every firma
6*. 8d. was paid " ad boscum." And it is to be remarked, that the pay-
ments made by Beauchamp twice in the year, of II. 6*. 8d. each, together
four marks, was at the rate of half a mark for each of the eight Sundays,
on which payments were due from that manor. We identify the II. 13*. 4d.
paid every week to be " liberatio," that is, money paid in wages, by an entry
in the Statuta Majora, (which states that, according to ancient custom, the
following payments had been made weekly to the following persons,) and
also by an entry in the inquisition of Nastok (Book I. p. 77), where the
40*. paid by the firmarius is said to be " ad denas vicariorum."

tions, was forty-nine. Every Sunday in the year, commencing with the
festival of St. Faith, on the 6th of October, had its dizena, paid by each
manor in regular succession, on more or on fewer Sundays, according to
the agreement made with the Firmarius, and the extent of the manor It
is probable, that in the ancient adjustment of the firma?, corn was delivered
every week throughout the year ; but at the end of the thirteenth century we
find the firmse, which consisted of wheat, barley, and oats, delivered on no
more than forty-five Sundays of the year, the delivery of the corn com-
mencing at the same time as that of the dizenae, on the festival of St. Faith.
The manor, however, which paid the dizena in money on the one Sunday
did not pay the firma in produce until the Sunday following, so that for
the same Sunday the dizena was paid by one manor, and the firma by
another.
The forty-five firma3 were furnished by thirteen manors. Each firma
consisted of sixteen quarters of wheat, sixteen quarters of oats, and three
quarters of barley, the whole quantity delivered in the year being 720
quarters of wheat, 720 quarters of oats, and 135 quarters of barley, con-
taining, ad mensuram Regis, eight bushels per quarter. In the year 1250,
the price of wheat being 4*. per quarter, of barley 2*. 6d. and oats 20c?.
the whole value of the corn, and other payments, was estimated at 277/.
It only remains, that wes hould give an account of the use which was
made of the corn thus delivered, of its conversion into bread and beer, and
its division among the members of the Cathedral. On the west side of the
street now called Godliman Street stood the bakehouse : it was a large
building, and its place is still identified by Paul's Bakehouse Yard. The
brewery probably adjoined it. There was a mill for grinding the corn,
worked by horses. There were four servants in the bakehouse, three in
the brewery, and two at the mill, besides a clerk of the receipts. The
brewery and the bakehouse were under the charge of an officer, the Gustos
Bracini. In 1283 Thomas de Couling, and in 1286 John de Braynford,
held the office : a copy of the Compotus rendered by them in those years,
recorded in Book I. will be found at p. 165.
From these documents it appears, that in the year 1283 the number of
bakings was one hundred and thirty-seven ; they baked at least five times
in every fortnight : four quarters of wheat containing not eight bushels,
according to the mensura Regis, but seven bushels, ad mensuram bracini
INTRODUCTION. xlix
were ground for each baking. The number of loaves produced was, in
the whole year, 40,266, and the average number from each baking 290.
We learn from an entry in the first page of Book L., that Ailwardus
Rufus, one of the Canons (Archdeacon of Colchester circa 1150), was
Custos Bracini and Pistrini, and that in his time the greater loaf of the
Canons of St. Paul's weighed seven marks, one ounce less, the lesser loaf
half that weight ; but that from the third year before the death of King
Stephen (in 1 1 54) the greater loaf weighed six marks and a half, the lesser
three marks and two ounces. The four loaves therefore, which every Canon
then received every day, namely two large and two small, weighed together
nineteen marks and a half; and, the mark being eight ounces, or two-thirds
of the pound troy, the whole weight of the bread per day was 156 ounces.
The loaf of St. Paul's, the same document informs us, was larger than that
of other religious houses. The loaf of the Canons Regular of Holy Trinity,
London, weighed three marks six ounces. The same was the weight of the
loaf of the Canons of Merton, whilst that of the Canons of St. Bartholomew
weighed only two marks one ounce. We notice these facts as indicating
that other religious houses received rents in kind, in the same way as
St. Paul's, and that the rents so paid were distributed in a similar manner.
The daily distribution of bread to the different members of the cathedral
in the year 1283 was as follows :
To each of the thirty Canons three loaves per day ;
total in the year ... . . . . 32,760

The brewings at the Cathedral took place nearly twice every week. In
1286 there were one hundred brewings in the year. The quantity of grain
consumed, consisted of
175 quarters of barley,
175 do. of wheat,
720 do. of oats.
At each brewing there was used of wheat one quarter and a half and
two bushels, at seven bushels to the quarter, = 12J bushels; of barley
one quarter and a half, of the same measure, = 10^ bushels ; and seven
quarters of oats, at eight bushels the quarter, = 56 bushels ; the total
quantity of grain being 79 bushels, nearly 10 quarters, and the number of
bolla?, or gallons, produced from each brewing averaging 678. We learn
from the Compotus of 1286, that the whole number of bollae brewed was
67,814 ; the distribution being as follows :

It appears from the Compotus Bracini of 1283 that
Wheat was sold at 6s. lOJc?., at 65., at 6*. 4c?., and 6s. Qd, per quarter.
Pollard at 2s. per quarter.
Furfur (bran) Is. 4d. per quarter.
Barley, bought at 3s. 6d. per quarter of seven bushels.
The value of the loaf, and of a gallon of beer, were each of them three
farthings.
We have thus seen in what manner, and for what purposes, the firmarii
delivered at the Cathedral the weekly firmae of money and produce, and also
the method of its distribution. It appears, however, that the business of
the mill, of the brewery, and the bakehouse, upon taking account of the
expenses, and making the accustomed deliveries of bread and beer to all
the members of the Cathedral in their fixed proportions, left a profit, which
was divided amongst the Canons in residence. In 1286 the sum to be
divided was 251. 19s. Id. In 1283 it was 24/. 6s. *l\d. The particulars of
the distribution we have thought it convenient to state at full length, not
merely as shewing the interest which the Residentiary Canons had in the
profits, and in the distribution of the " Communa," but the manner in
which residence was kept by the canons in the latter part of the thirteenth
century.

Such was the mode in which the " firmae," received in kind at St. Paul's
at the end of the thirteenth century, were distributed, and there is reason
to believe that, during the greater part of the following century, they con-
tinued to be regularly paid, that the work of the bakehouse and the brewery
went on without interruption, and that the statutable distributions of bread
and beer were made to the members of the Cathedral. The documents,
however, of the early part of the fifteenth century contain proof, that
the social changes and political disturbances, which were then taking place,
affected the Cathedral property, as respected its nature and management.
The firmae were no longer regularly distributed, the manors were unable to
INTRODUCTION. 1m
provide the necessary supplies, leases were granted for short periods to
other persons than members of the Chapter, and towards the end of the
century the firmaa ceased, and the rents appear to have been wholly paid
in money.
It had been provided by the statutes of Ralph de Diceto (who was Dean
in 1181), in case of dearth or pestilence occurring in the manors, that
the delivery of bread and beer to the non-resident members should un-
dergo a reduction of one loaf and one gallon of beer per diem until the
return of plenty ; and further, that in case of dearth the firmarii should
not be bound to deliver from their manors more wheat, barley, or oats,
than they were accustomed to pay ; nor was any firmarius required to deliver
any corn, but that which was of the growth of the manor, only it must
be the best of that which was there grown. It was also ordained, that
good beer should be brewed for the Residentiaries, and common beer for
other persons.
But it would seem that other than natural causes, such as are men-
tioned in the statutes of Ralph de Diceto, disturbed in the fourteenth cen-
tury the delivery of the firmae ; for during the Episcopate of Simon of
Sudbury, who was consecrated Bishop of London in 1361, it was ordained
by an injunction, that a fine of I Os. should be inflicted upon the firmarius,
who failed to deliver the firmse within fifteen days of the appointed time,
and that if he continued in arrear, his lease should be forfeited, and given
to the next expectant Canon. We learn, moreover, from an injunction of
Robert Braybrooke, Bishop of London, bearing date 20 Oct. 1401 (in
which the injunction of his predecessor, Simon of Sudbury, is recited),
that irregularities existed to such an extent, as not only to deprive the non-
residents, but also the minor Canons and other members, of their usual
allowances. The complaint came before the Bishop at his visitation; a
fresh injunction was issued, with the consent of the Dean and the Chapter;
the previous injunction of Simon of Sudbury was renewed, and the deli-
very of bread and beer to all the members enjoined according to the ancient
custom. The Chapter was further directed to choose one of their own
body, in the first week of October in each year, to be the Custos Bracini,
and upon him was laid the duty of delivering the bread and beer ; the
bread was to be served as before, but in lieu of beer five marks were to be
given to every Canon, and to all other persons sums of money proper-

tioned to their allowance. The observance of this injunction was enforced
under peril of the greater excommunication.
Causes, however, were in operation, to which we shall presently advert,
which rendered even the fear of the greater excommunication ineffective
to produce perpetual obedience ; for it is recorded in the Statuta Minora
(fol. 102), that on the 20 Oct. 1438, Robert Gilbert, Bishop of London,
sate judicially in the Chapter-house, Reginald Kentwoode, the Dean, and
John Bermingham, a (solitary) residentiary, being present also; and that
there appeared personally thirteen of the non-resident Canons (the names
are recorded), who made complaint to the Bishop, that in violation of the
ancient customs of the Church and of the episcopal injunctions, from the
feast of St. Anne (July 20) last past up to that day, no bread had been
delivered, and that the beer had been kept back for more than three years.
A conference took place between the Dean and the residentiary on the one
part, and three of the Canons on behalf of the non-residents, and a fresh
episcopal injunction was given to the Dean to pay to the complainants,
before the feast of All Saints, what was due for bread from the feast of
St. Anne to Michaelmas, and what was due from Michaelmas to the day
of the visitation, before the end of the year. The arrears of payment for
beer of the three preceding years were also to be satisfied before the
Christmas following. To this injunction Dean Kentwoode and John Ber-
mingham, the residentiary, gave their consent, and promised compliance.
These incidents are related, not as anecdotes of capitular irregularities,
but as clear indications of circumstances having occurred, which had altered
the property of the Chapter, and disturbed the ancient arrangements. In
the case of the manor of Nastock, it appears that in the year 1403 the
rents of that manor had ceased to be in ' firmse." A lease was granted in
that year of the manor, the presentation to the vicarage, the tithes and all
the appurtenances of the manor, to Laurence Allerthorp, a residentiary, at
the annual rent of 40., of which 18/. 7*. Sd. represented the ancient
firmse of corn delivered to the brewery, and 21L 12s. 4d. the value of the
manorial rights and the tithes ; the preamble of the lease stating, that the
manor was granted on these terms, as well because " propter insufficientiam
suam ad supportationem onerum ab antique impositorum eidem sufficere
non valebit," as " propter alias causas veras ac legitimas tune assignatas et
capitulariter approbatas." In 1421 a departure was made from the ancient
INTRODUCTION. ly
practice of limiting the leases to members of the Cathedral, and a lease for
five years was granted to Reginald Malyns esquire, of the family of the
De Malyns, who were lords of the adjacent village of Theydon Mount.
The rent was only 361. 13s. 4c?., but the Chapter reserved to themselves,
what we should now term the manorial rights, as well as the presentation
to the vicarage. In 1425 a similar lease was granted to Roger Passelewe
of Chipping Ongar, yeoman, and four others, at the increased rent of 42/.;
but in 1429, and to the year 1499, the manor appears to have been once
more leased to residentiaries only, at the diminished rent of 33/. 6s. 8c?,, of
which III. 13s. 4d. instead of 181. 7*. Sd. as in 1403, was payable to the
brewery ; a clear indication that the agricultural produce of the estate had
proportionably diminished in value.
It cannot be doubted, that the condition of the landowners throughout the
kingdom was materially affected by the wars of the Roses, and that the un-
settled condition of the country throughout the greater part of the fifteenth
century must have weakened in a great degree the authority of the lord over
his tenants, and diminished the number of the tenants, and consequently the
value of those predial services in which the wealth of the Lord consisted.
The decay, however, of praedial service had begun in the previous century ;
political disturbances hastened its dissolution, but it would probably have
passed away under the influence of causes such as these, namely, commutation
of services for fixed money payments, changes in the population, and the
progress of commerce and trade, which gradually raised up a class of
yeomen, who occupied a middle and independent position between the lord
of the manor and his customary tenants.
Of the accumulation of land by individuals in the same Manor there are
traces in the Records of St. Paul's at as early a period as 1279.
At that time, John Durant, whose ancestor in 1222 possessed only one
virgate in Cadendon, appears on the Court Roll as possessing eight or ten
tenements at least, which had been formerly held by other persons. At
Belchamp two tenants of the higher order, the Liberi Homines, the one,
Martin de Suthmere, held by himself and his tenants 245 acres of land in
the manor, and had twenty- two tenants rendering service to himself; the
other, Robert Luckyn, held in the same manor 89 acres, and had twelve
tenants doing him service. It is remarkable also, that the name of the Earl
of Oxford appears in the same Inquisition, as holding 17 acres of land in
Ivi INTRODUCTION.
the manor, and rendering service for them to Martin de Suthmere. It is
easy to imagine, that the growth within the manors of such a body of
tenantry, having tenants under them, would gradually counterbalance the
influence of the lord, especially if he were not resident on the manor.
In the most ancient form of the manorial system it is probable, that all
the profits of the lords, except the landgafol, which was a money payment,
were derived from the labour of the tenants and from the contributions of
produce paid in kind ; the demesne lands were ploughed and sown by the
tenants, the crops were gathered in, the sheep were sheared, the malt for
beer was made, the wood for the supply of the hall was hewn and stacked,
the watch and ward of the manor was kept by them. Hens and capons at
Christmas and eggs at Easter replenished the larder of the lord. There was
scarcely any want which the service of the tenants did not supply for the lord,
even to the making hot the water and preparing the bath. (Chingeford,
Book I. fol. 63.) In the earlier condition of the manorial households and ma-
norial society these burdens might have been cheerfully borne ; but it is most
probable, that, as time advanced and society changed, ancient duties became,
from various causes, both burdensome to those who performed them, as well
as less agreeable to those to whom they were due; and that the lords were as
willing to receive maltsilver, woodsilver, schepsilver,* lardersilver, and ward-
penny, and a halfpenny or a penny in lieu of a day's labour, as the tenants
were to relieve themselves by such payments from the personal performance
of the services. That a change might take place in the value of money,
and reduce these payments to a nominal value, or that the time might come,
when the halfpenny, originally given in lieu of a day's labour, could no
longer purchase it, or that there might be no labourers to be hired, was a
thought, which never entered into the minds of men, who had neither per-
sonal experience, nor historical knowledge of changes now familiar to the
mind of every student of political economy, As property passed, with
the consent of the lords, from one person to another, the commutation
of services due to the lord into money payments became more frequent,
of which the phrase, so constantly occurring, " pro omni servicio,"
is abundant proof. The direction also, which is given in Fleta, ii. 72,
to the Praepositus, not only to compute with the Ballivus once a-week
what customary labour was due, and to mark on the tally the day's work
* A payment in lieu of watercarriage.
INTRODUCTION. Ivii
performed, but also to look after the arrears of labour, and if possible to
receive money in lieu of them for the augmentation of the rent, is a further
evidence of the readiness of the landlord to receive money in lieu of labour.
It is evident, that the constant progress of a system of commutations
would at last leave the lord of the manor in the condition of the landlord of
our own times, who must hire but cannot command labour. That the in-
convenience of having commuted labour for money was at last sensibly felt
by the landed proprietors, appears from the Statute of Labourers, 23 Ed. III.
1349 : prior to which time changes had taken place, which brought into
existence a body of persons resembling the labourers of the present day ;
men, who labour for their subsistence, but who are free to choose a
master and to agree with him for wages. The growth of this class had
probably made the landlords more ready to forego the prsedial services of
their tenants; but when the pestilence of 1349, alluded to in the Statute,
had so reduced the number of labourers as to enhance the value of labour,
to the great loss of the landed proprietors, recourse was had to the Statute
of 1349, and to a series of similar Statutes between that year and
1368, which had the twofold object, first, of compelling every ablebodied
man, who was not hired, to hire himself to the master, who should demand
his services ; and secondly, of limiting the amount of the wages, which he
was to receive.
The Manors, the lords of which had commuted the praedial services of
their tenants for money payments, would be those in which the free
labourers most abounded, and in which the owner of the land was most de-
pendent upon that class, for the means of cultivating the soil ; but when the
Statute of Labourers was first enacted, the whole of the country was not as
yet in this condition ; there was still a large portion of it, in which the
ancient services remained due, but in which, as the growth of wealth had
produced a new order of landowners, the performance of Villain services had
become odious or inconvenient, and the Villains withdrew the services and
customs which were due to their lords, The first indication which the Statutes
of the Realm contain of this change in the behaviour of the Villains or cus-
tomary tenants, is in the Statute of 1 Richard II. A.D. 1377, from which it
appears that the " Villains, and tenants of land in villainage, withdrew their cus-
toms and services from their lords, having attached themselves to other persons,
who maintained and abetted them ; and who, under colour of exemplifications

Iviii INTRODUCTION.
from Domesday of the Manors and Villes in which they dwelt, and by wrong
interpretation of those exemplifications, claimed to be quit and discharged of
all manner of service, either of their body or of their lands, and would suffer
no distress or other course of justice to be taken against them ; the
Villains aiding their maintainers, by threatening the officers of their lords
with peril to life and limb, as well as by open assemblies and by confede-
racies to support each other." It is manifest, that the persons designated ir
the Statute, as Counsellors, Maintainers, and Abettors, were men of statior
as well as substance ; the process by which they became connected with
the Villains, being, as is expressed in the Statute, " the taking hire and
profit of the Villains and land -tenants." Reference was made to Domes-
day to prove, that the manors to which the Villains belonged were Ancient
demesne ; and it is evident from the terms of the petition in the Rolls of
Parliament, which preceded the enactment of this Statute, that the Villains
were the persons, who took the pains to procure these exemplifications.*
The tenants in Ancient demesne had the privilege of freedom from toll in
all the markets of the kingdom ; f but some other privileges must have
belonged to them, if, under colour of these exemplifications, the Villains
could withdraw their services from the lords of other manors. The case
was probably this, that the tenant of Ancient demesne could not be pro-
ceeded against for subtraction of services, except in the Court of the Manor
of Ancient Demesne, and thus he was enabled to set at nought the power
of the court of other manors, in which he held land and was liable to service.
Manors of Ancient demesne were not always in the hands of the Crown,
but as it would appear, were possessed by lords, who were willing to
derive pecuniary advantage from selling the privilege of holding in Ancient
demesne. The supposition that the immunities of such tenancy were avail-
* The desire, however, on the part of the tenants to prove themselves in Ancient
demesne was of much earlier date than 1377. The Rotuli Hundredorurn of 7 Ed. I.
give testimony of unfounded assertions on the part of the Villani of manors, that they
held in Ancient demesne. See Vol. II. pp. 843, 844.
t It appears also that the tenant in Ancient demesne was exempted from the
necessity of taking upon him knighthood for lands so held, for we read in the Statute
for respiting Knighthood, " None by reason of any land that he holdeth in manors
which now are Ancient demesne of the Crown, as Sokemen, and which lands must also
give talliage when the King's demesnes are tallied, shall be distrained to take upon him
the order of a Knight." Statutes of the Realm, vol. i. p. 229.
INTRODUCTION. lix
able against the lords of other manors, and that they might be so obtained,
will explain a statement of the Statute of 1 Richard II. above referred to,
not otherwise easy to understand, " that divers people of small revenue
of land, rent, or other possessions, did make great retinue des gens, as well
of esquires as of others, giving them hats and liveries, but not at their own
cost ; the value, or twice the value, being given by those persons " for the
Maintenance so acquired ; and which, as is evident from the ninth section of
the same statute, consisted in protection against legal claims upon their
lands and tenements, their goods and chattels.
The cessation of prsedial service was the result not of one, but of several
causes. The exact period of its extinction may not be discoverable, and
probably remnants of the system existed at a comparatively late period in
particular localities ; but if the same course of events happened in other
manors, which took place in the manor of Castle Combe, the commutation of
services into rent was effected prior to 1450; the Court Rolls of that
manor of the latter period describing all the tenants as payers of rent, and
making no mention of the' personal labour, which in 1340 had been due.
We have now brought our observations to a close : they have occupied a
wider range than was originally intended ; but if any fresh light has been
thrown upon the nature of Anglo-Saxon society, the condition of England
in the centuries succeeding to the Norman Conquest, the original character
of manorial tenures, the relations between the owner and the occupier of
the soil, as well as upon the management and disposition of Cathedral lands
and revenues, the labour occupied in the composition and illustration of this
volume will not have been spent in vain ; especially, if the bringing these
documents to light should lead to an investigation of the archives of other
Cathedrals, and to a closer study of the chartularies and lieger-books of the
conventual bodies, which are deposited in our public libraries, or are to be
found amongst the records of the Augmentation Office. It is not a matter
of mere antiquarian curiosity, what were the laws of Ina or of Alfred, or
how society was constituted and justice administered under the Anglo-Saxon
and Anglo-Norman kings, for we may safely affirm, that without the know-
ledge of the principles and practices of those remote ages, the Common
lawyer of the present day will often find himself at fault, not merely for the
definition of a term or the meaning of a word, but even for a principle, upon
which to found an argument, and to decide between conflicting rights and
Ix INTRODUCTION.
duties. Neither is English history limited to the period which has passed since
the Reformation, or since the Conquest ; it comprehends the reigns of the
Anglo-Saxon kings ; and, as the earlyoccupation of the " litus Saxonicum "
in our southern counties testifies, it is united with the history of ancient
Britain and ancient Rome. From chroniclers and historians we may learn
the relation in which England has stood to the nations around us, the
intrigues of our nobles, and the vices or virtues of our kings ; but it is
in the records, which exhibit to us the means and circumstances under
which the mass of the people earned their daily bread ; in the household
accounts of the chieftain and the prince ; in the wills of the dead, and in
their private litigations and contests, their dealings and bargains when
alive, that we discover our history as a people, and can trace the steps, by
which property has been acquired, and has passed from one class to
another, from the peasant to the yeoman, and from the lord to the trader
and the merchant, and by which England has become what it is the
country of the freest and wealthiest people in Europe.
P.S. In the early part of the foregoing Introduction (p. ix.) an account
was given of various Domesday books ; we must be permitted to add to the
list another Royal Domesday, not heretofore described under that title, but
which forms the largest portion of the Second Volume of the Rotuli
Hundredorum, published in 1812. The " Rotuli" are copies of returns
made to Royal Inquisitions at two distinct periods, the third and the seventh
years of Edward I.; but it is to be observed that the inquisitions at the two
periods were for different purposes, and the articles exhibited to the jurors
wholly different. The object of the earlier inquisition was to ascertain the
cases in which the rights and liberties of the Crown had been withdrawn,
and in which excesses had been committed by the sheriffs, coroners,
escheators, and bailiffs; the Subject, as well as the Crown, was interested in
that inquiry. But the later inquisition produced a perfect Domesday, or
record of landed property, in the five counties Bedford, Buckingham,
Cambridge, Huntingdon, and Oxford. Each Hundred had its separate jury,
who reported the names of all the landowners and occupiers of land, the
quantity of land held by each of them, the rents paid, and the services ren-
dered, the tenants of the manors being generally described under four
classes Liberi Tenentes, Villani, Cotarii, and Servi ; but in some places

with varied titles, such as Liberi Sokmanni, Custumarii, Consuetudinarii,
Operarii, Coterelli, Cotagiarii, Servi, Socomanni, Nativi, Boiidagii, &c. The
Rotuli of these five counties being abstracts or digests of inquisitions
made in the separate Hundreds of each county, contain the materials,
from which a document might be compiled, which would resemble the
Exchequer Domesday in nearly every particular, but the enumeration of
the live stock on the different manors ; and would show, who were
Tenants in Capite, the persons who held lands under them, the number of
Liberi Tenentes, Villani, Cotarii, and Servi, on each estate, and the sum of
the rents paid.

the Domesday of St. Paul's, of Ralph de Diceto, in 1181, was founded,

in five counties, Bedford, Buckingham, Cambridge, Huntingdon, and
Oxford, and which form the latter part of vol. ii. of the Rotuli Hun-

lands of 30 acres. The number of acres in the hide and virgate was not
uniform. At Runwell (p. 69), the hide anciently contained only 80 acres.
At Nastok (p. 81), it contained 140. The virgate also varied. At Sandon

it consisted of 60 acres * (I. 145), at Wicham of 24 (I. 97), at Nastok of
20 (p. 81), and at Drayton of 16 (p. 99). The acre consisted of 160
square perches, the perch being 16| feet. There was also a variation in
the length of the perch. The " parva pertica" is mentioned at p. 80,
and is probably the perch of 16 feet; and at p. 92 we find a perch of
24 feet. It also consisted of 2 1 or 20 feet ; the latter perch being used in
the measure of the quarentena, or fourth of an acre. See Spelman and Du
Cange.
Defenditse versus Regempro decem Hidis. " Satisfies the royal demand
for hidage, by paying for ten hides." The chroniclers relate several in-
stances of hidage taken by the Anglo-Norman Kings ; there is, however,
reason to believe that it was an annual, as well as an occasional tax, and
that it was the excessive amount of the demand, or the cause of it,
which drew the attention of the chroniclers to these particular exer-
cises of the royal prerogative. In the Articles of Inquisition of 1181
(see p. 112), the question, "Pro quot hidis unaquaeque villa se de-
fenderet tempore Regis Henrici, tempore W'll'i Decani, versus regem," is
followed immediately by this, u Quid tune fiscalibus commodis appenden-
tur per annum vicecomiti .s. vel hundredi praeposito." In 1222 the manor
of Barling (see p. 64) being rated at two hides and an half, paid for
hidage annually thirty-one pence to the bailiff of the hundred of Rislee,
two pence halfpenny of which was due for 20 acres of the demesne. It
appears from the Rotuli Hundredorum of 39 Hen. III. and the earlier years
of Edw. I., that hidage was an annual payment, but whether universally
paid by every manor is uncertain. In the county of Cambridge the
Vicecomites were accustomed to repair the bridge at Cambridge by levying
" pontage " or " brigbote " on every hide of land, which was liable to geld.

tivate. It was, however, an offence against the forest laws to assart without
licence any part of the king's forest. At page 107 there is an extract of an
inrolment of the Justices in Eyre of the 5 and 20 Ed. I. The right of the
Canons of St. Paul's to assart land at Chingeford and at Heybridge had
been called in question ; but judgment was given in their favour upon the
production of a charter of King John, exempting the Chapter from all pleas
of offence committed by them, in these lands and woods, against the forest
laws.
Prater ducts Prebendas. The prebends here mentioned are those of
Cadington Major and Cadington Minor, held by two of the Canons of
St. Paul's. In the Domesday of the county of Bedford (vol. i. f. 211) the
Manor of Cadendon, in that county, belonging to St Paul's, is described as
containing five hides. In the time of the Confessor it was held by Leuuinus
eilt. (ib. fol. 36), together with the Hertfordshire manors of Cadindon and
Canesworde, " de rege," and it appears to have been given, together with
them, to St. Paul's by the Conqueror.* The word " Praebenda," or "Pre-
benda," means anything given for support and maintenance. All the thirty
Canons of St. Paul's have borne the title of Prebendaries, and been distin-
guished by the names of the manors or lands allotted to them for their
prebend, from as early a period as the beginning of the twelfth century.
But the prebendal system was elsewhere probably of a still earlier date.
In the account of the lands belonging to the canons of St. Martin's,
Dover, in the Exchequer Domesday, (vol. i. f. 1 b.) it is stated, with refer-
ence to twenty-seven solins, held by that body in the last of Estrede, and
other places, that in the time of the Confessor the " prebendee " had been
" communes," and that they had been divided amongst the individual mem-
bers by the Bishop of Bayeux. Other lands, however, belonging to the
same body had been held, in the time of the Confessor, in separate pre-
bends, and had descended from father to son, the Abbot of St. Augustine's
holding also lands belonging to that body ' in praebenda," which had been
similarly held by his predecessor.

TO THE ST. PAUL'S DOMESDAY, A.D. 1222. Ixv
tenants who held lands by charter, were generally exempt from the duty of
attendance at the County and Hundred courts, here termed " Secta." The
exemption, however, was limited to the Dean and Chapter, and did not
comprise their tenants. Such attendance was not merely a mark of honour
to the Crown or the Lord, but was a source of profit also, the tenants
making certain payments at that time. One example in support of this
statement may suffice, being one of many particulars in the inquisition of the
manor of Brehull, in co. Bucks. (39 Hen. III.) The jurors' answer is,
" Dicimus quod Priorissa de Stotleye solebat facere sectam Curiae Domini
Regis pro terra apud Esses quam Robertus de Bosco tenuit, et subtraxit
se per tres annos, unde D'n's Rex damnificatur in tribus solidis per illam
subtractionem, scilicet quolibet anno in duodecim denariis."
Dominium. The Demesne. Those lands in the manor, which were
possessed by the Lord for his own use, and in which the tenants had no
rights. "Est autem dominium, quod quis habet ad mensam suam et proprie,
sicut sunt Bordlands, Anglice." (Bracton, iv. 9, 5, p. 263.)
Boscus forinsecus. A wood riot included in the Demesne, and therefore
not wholly the property of the lord. Such woods are mentioned at Kens-
worth (p. 7), at Ardley (p. 21), and at Heybridge (p. 52). From the
" Extenta Maneriorum" we learn the definition of this kind of wood to be
" Boscus Jbrinsecus, ubi alii communicant." At Nastok (I. fol. 77 b) the
Pasiuraforinseca is described as " Communis ad Parochiam."
Wainagium. This word has several meanings. It here denotes the
tillage and cartage required for the cultivation of the la"nd. At p. 28,
line 9, u Wainagium vetus," in the sense of land anciently ploughed, is
opposed to u Novum essartum," land newly broken up. In Magna Charta
it has a two-fold sense, that of tillage, as in the phrase "tempus wainagii"
and also of the implements for the work, as in the phrases " Terra instaurata
de carrucis et wa'.nagiis," and " Salvo wainagio suo."
Caruca. A plough. The word is used also for a team of horses
or oxen, as in the expression "Caruca vin. capitum," a team of eight head.
At p. 13 mention is made of a pasture " ad Caracas," i.e. for the plough
teams. Caruca is also used for carucata. In I. 129 b, we read "Una
caruca terrse continens ix. viginti acras."
Implementum Manerii. The live and dead stock of the manor,
including also ploughings and sowings ; also called " Instauramentum "

De dominico per villenagium. Demesne land thus let to tenants is
described by Bracton, p. 263, ed. 1640, "Item dicitur dominicum villena-
gium, quod traditur villanis, quod quis tempestive et intempestive resumere
possit pro voluntate sua et revocare."
Aratura de lage erthe.^-ln Book I. 115, 116, this word Lage erthe
is written " la verthe " and " laverthe." Work of a similar character was
called *' benerthe " and " gavelerthe " or " gave herthe." (I. 99 b.) (See
Wilkins and Du Cange.) The distinction between " laverthe " and
" benerthe " consisted in the labour of ploughing being performed either
with food from the lord, or without it. In the inquisition of Kens-
worth (I. 120) we read, " Debet arare ter in anno sine cibo domini,
quae vocatur laverthe,' et semel in anno ad cibum domini, quse vocatur
* benerthe.' "
Virgata quce non averat. Services of various kinds were due to the
lord, as from each Virgate or Hide, the occupiers of the land performing
the services pro rata. Exemption from one service was compensated by the
obligation to perform another, as in the case here noted, the Virgate, which
was free from " average," made malt instead.
Averare. To carry corn or goods. Averium. A beast for draught or
burden. Averagium. The work performed ; or, as in page 61, Aver agio,
ad carriagium the beasts for the work. We have a particular descrip-
tion of the manner in which this service was sometimes performed, in
Rot. Hundred, (ii. p. 628.) " Item debet averare cum equo et sacco
suo proprio ad omnes mercatus infra comitatum, quotiens necesse fuerit et
dominus voluerit, primo die super sumptibus propriis suis, et aliis diebus
sumptibus domini." The service was also performed on foot, as we learn
TO THE ST. PAUL'S DOMESDAY, A.D. 1222.

and "facit averagium cum dorso ;" and " averagium ad pedes," p. 81 of this
volume.*
Debet parare sew quarteria brasii vel dare sex denarios. The tenant
either made the malt or paid six pence for malt-silver. The tenant could
require from the lord fuel (focagium) for drying the malt, " ad brasium
desiccandum." (I. 115b.)
Fotaver. The service of carrying five capons or ten hens to London at
Christmas (ib.).
Page 4. Cui non attlnet per WilVmfirmarium. This expression con-
stantly recurs with mention of the name of the former tenant of the land.
In some cases (see page 50) the new tenant had purchased the former
tenant's right, but generally the tenement would seem to have been newly
allotted by the firmarius, the former tenant having gone away, or his right
of occupancy having for some reason ceased ; for it is remarkable that the
names of the tenants with cui non attinet subjoined are seldom, if ever,
recorded as holding any other land in the manor.
Escaeta propter fitrtum. Many lords of manors had the privilege of
receiving the lands and goods of felons, ordinarily forfeited to the Crown.
Page 5. Summa brasii. A load of malt. Summagium. The duty

Reginatdus Prcepositus. The prcepositus was foreman of the operarii,
or customary tenants, and the assistant of the Bailivus. Fleta (II. c. 76)
states that this officer was elected by the Villata. Accordingly we read
(I. 106), that at Belchamp all the Custumarii elected the Praepositus, and
were responsible for his good conduct, and that if he fell into arrear with
respect to payment, and his own goods were not sufficient to make good
the amount, the Custumarii were to supply the deficiency. At Cadendon
the Prsepositus served " ad cibum domini," and during his tenure of the
office was exempt from all other services. (I. 1 16.)
In precariis ad cibum domini. Precarise, literally days of request,
boon-days, on which the lord asked the aid of his tenants to plough, or hoe,
or perform other work. The days were not limited to one period of the

year, but depended upon the season. The Precariee Carucarum, for
ploughing, were in winter or spring, the Precarise in autumn were for
the gathering in the crops. At these times the lord frequently found
food for the labourers, but there was no uniform practice. Sometimes
the Precaria? are termed " siccaB," or dry, as contrasted with the Precanae
"cum cervisia," at which beer was allowed. In the inquisition of Ardley
(I. 1 15) we find a " Precaria ad cervisiam," and also a "Precaria ad aquam."
At the former, the allowance for two men was, at the first meal, porridge
of beans or peas, and two loaves, one of them, white and sufficient for two
meals, the other, a small loaf de mixtilione (maslin bread, of wheat or barley
mixed with rye), together with a piece of meat, and beer for one meal. At
evening they had a small loaf of maslin bread, and two "lescas " of cheese."
In the "Precaria ad aquam" the allowance was two great loaves, of the size
thirty-two to a quarter, porridge as before, six herrings, one piece of some
other fish, and water. At Belchamp (1. 101) the tenant, who had provided
two men to labour, and who had two meals a-day, went to supper at the
court, and was served with three dishes "honeste," as a mark of distinction.
At Norton (I. 150), in the fourth Precaria of the season, the tenants had
three meals during the day, and their wives joined them at supper. In the
Rotuli Hundredorum these PrecariaB are very frequently described.
Ad Vincula. The abbreviated appellation of the festival of St. Peter
ad Vincula, on the first day of August, otherwise termed "Gula Augusti."
Page 6. Garsavese. A word used at a later period as synonymous with
pannagium the fee for permission to feed swine in the woods. In a
document of the date of 1330, quoted by Ducange from Spelman, the
word is written Grasanec, the root of which is probably the Anglo-Saxon
gaers, or grass. In the R. S. P. (Laws of England, vol. i. p. 432), mention
is made of a gejir-rpyn, " porcus herbagii," as given yearly by the Ge-
neate, or Villanus to his Lord. In the Inquisition of Bernes (I. 13 1 b),
we find the word Garsavese expressing the annual payment given for pannage
of pigs ; and also (I. I32b) the remarkable term, "avesabit porcos." It is
doubtful whether the meaning of the word Garsavese is to be limited to
the pannage of swine. At p. 51 we have an account of the payments due
at Waletone for the pasture of sheep, animalia, horses, and pigs, all of
which appear to be included under "Garsavese," the concluding words being
" similiter de equis et de singulis porcis 1 .d. pro Garsavese." At Kadendon
TO THE ST. PAUL'S DOMESDAY, A.D. 1222.
in 1279 (I. 119b) there were eight tenants, each of them paying 2^d. for
Garsavese, i.e. half the sum here mentioned as payable from each Virgate,
the land having been subdivided.
Langable. It is remarkable that the payments of Langable, Pannage,
and Garsavese are here mentioned together, as in the R. S. P. landgavol
and gepr-rpyn follow each other. Landgable appears to have been a very
ancient payment. It is defined in Spelman's Glossary to be a tribute or
praedial rent of Id. for every house. In the manors of St. Paul's it
was a payment from each Virgate. At Cadendon it was payable at the
feast of St. Martin (I. 119), and amounted to 7je?. per virgate. At
Beauchamp it amounted to twice that sum, I5d. (p. 33). At Heybridge
each virgate appears to have paid %\d. (page 56). It was due at Michael-
mas, and the whole sum in 1279 amounted to 2s. 6d. (I. 89). At Nastok
the sum which the nativi holding virgates paid as Landgable was 5d.
and there were eight such virgates (I. 76). In the R. S. P. the non-
payment of Landgavol is mentioned, as distinguishing the Cotsetle from
the Geneate or Villanus. (Laws of England, i. p. 432.)
Pannagium. The word means either the right of feeding pigs or other
animals in the lord's woods, or the money paid for the exercise of it,
According to Spelman, "paunagium" would be the correct form of the
word, pauns being the name for the produce of wood, such as acorns,
beech, or mast, &c., but the root is most probably the Latin Pastus. In
the " R. S. P." the word is written " Pastinagium," and in French docu-
ments it takes the same form. At Belchamp (I. 106), Pannage was thus
paid : " Omnes porci magni et parvi, qui pascuntur in campis et boscis
domini, ducuntur die S'cti Martini Episcopi ad aulam, et pannagium dant
(prseter sues et porcellos) et taxantur per duos liberos homines et duos
custumarios, praeter sues et porcellos lactantes."
Woodsilver. A payment in lieu of the service of carrying wood. At
Nastok (p. 82), some of the tenants carried a cart-load from the wood to
the court at Christmas. At Chingford (p. 99), the wood was not only
carried, but hewn for fuel, and put up " super trabes," probably the beams
of the hall. At Sutton (p. 94), the tenant brought four cart-loads from
the wood to the court " sine cibo."
Foddercorn. A payment of oats in kind. This payment was made at
Martinmas, and consisted of a half-quarter of oats (I. 116). At Horlock
Ixx NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS
it was paid (p. 47) in the month of March. At Nastok (p. 83) on
Christmas Eve. Oats were also paid as rent by the Tenacre holders at
Sandun (p. 17). Foddercorn occurs frequently in Rot. Hund. p. 602, 638,
642, &c. and as payable at Martinmas.
Purprestura. Any encroachment, such as inclosure of waste on the side
of the king's highway, erection of buildings, stopping watercourses, roads,
or pathways, inclosure of common or forest lands, breaking up woodlands,
enlarging parks, &c.
Semen frumenti ad unam rodam. The quantity of seed wheat paid by
these tenants in 1279 was two bushels, and the land sown with it eight
half-roods or one acre.
Page 7. VI. nummatum terra. The purprestura is here described as
six-penny-worth of land. There is reason to believe that very small quan-
tities of land were thus valued. It was a purprestura or encroachment
which is here mentioned ; and in a charter of Henry II. in Oliver's Monas-
ticon Disecesis Exon. p. 24, half an acre is described as " viginti nummatas
terrae." (See Spelman and Du Cange, Nummata.)
Cessit in dies regis. The meaning of the phrase is uncertain ; but
probably it means simply, that he yielded to the King of Terrors and died,
after which the half-virgate which he held was divided between the two
tenants next mentioned, and the Purprestura by a third, for xii. instead of
vi. pence.
Page 8. Consuetudines Villatce. Under this term are included all the
services and payments due to the lord from the tenants of all ranks ; but in
connection with Wainagium, it must be limited to the services performed
by the Carucae or Teams of the tenants.
Page 9. Per finem. The term finis here used, is defined by Spelman
(Gloss. 229) to be the money agreed to be paid for entering upon a farm,
either by the native tenant to his lord, or by the lessee to the lessor ; the
payment was anciently called "gersuma." At p. 12, certain essart lands
are described as granted to the tenants, upon the payment of half a mark
to the Dean and Chapter.
Page 10. Ecclesia de Kensworth. The virgate of land here mentioned
was an endowment by the Chapter. At page 147 we read " Habet hsec

" Disrationavit virgatam," proved her right to the Virgate. The " Breve
Regis " here mentioned was probably the " breve de recto," or writ of right,
which, as we learn from Bracton, lib. 5, c. 2, 3, was first to be tried in
the Court of the Lord of the Manor, and then by default was removable to
the County Court. See also Blackstone, iii. 10, and Appendix.
Page 17. Par tare xxv. summas. In the account of this service in
I. 137 b., the word averagia is used, and each averagium is said to consist
of seven bushels of wheat or barley ; or ten bushels and a-half of oats,
according to the measure of St. Paul's.
Page 17. Sirica Hoppa. It is to be observed that the holders of ten
acres are here mentioned as paying a Strike of oats, and the holders of five
acres a Hoppa, and hence it would appear that the "strike" was the double
of the " hoppa." The " strike " is said to be a bushel (see Johnson's
Dictionary), but since it is found that in 1279 (I. 142) the ten-acre men
of this Manor paid two bushels of oats, and the five-acre men one, we
thence conclude that the " strike " at Sandon was two bushels.

Some words are probably omitted in the MS. The meaning of the text
is illustrated by the Survey of 1279 (I. 138), where it appears, that at
the PrecariaB in autumn each tenant provided two men to labour "ad
cibum domini;" and that for one day the tenant was bound to come
himself with his cart to carry corn, or, if he had not a cart, then to come
himself for two days' labour ad mensara domini," being fed at the table

Page 21. Boscus vestitus. Vestura is defined in Du Cange " Fructus
quilibet agro hserentes." At p. 1 we find the phrase " Boscus bene ves-
titus de fago." It is probable, that when a wood is said to be Non vestitus,
the absence of all produce either from underwood or pannage is implied.

the word Rifflei is doubtful; but, being united with " virgis," it seems to
indicate an osier bed, or plantation of pliable wood.
Page 28. Forland. The " Forland " and the Inland " of a manor
would seem to bear the same relation to each other as the " Boscus
Forinsecus," and " Boscus Intrinsecus. The ' Inland" and "Utland" are
described by Lambard as the Demesne of the lord, and the Land of the
tenants. (Spelman ) It is, however, probable that both the Inland of the
demesne, and the Forland or Utland of the tenants, differed as to tenure,
or to situation, from the ordinary demesne and tenants' lands. The " Inlands,"
which were relet upon an increased rent at Belchamp, in 1240 (see pages
118-121), are described as " terrse de dominico, quas vocant Inlandes."

Page 30. Debet facer e sectam sirce et hundredi. Although the Dean

County Courts, their tenants do not appear to have partaken the exemption.
In the Rot. Hundred, of Essex (p. 161) the Bishop of London is stated to
have withdrawn the suit of two men in Tollesbury who were accustomed
to attend the tourn of the sheriff, and the Dean and Chapter of St.
Paul's to have withdrawn the " secta Hundredi " due from a tenement
in their Manor of Heybrigge.
Page 32. Sine foris facto. The services here mentioned were those of
the Libere Tenentes ; but it would seem that if not performed no forfeiture
was incurred. In the survey of 1181 (see page 117) the same expression
" sine forisfacto" occurs. In the survey of 1279 it is omitted ; but from the
account there given (I. 101) of the quantity of food which was due by
custom to the tenants at the precaria?, it would appear that, since the lord
lost little by their non-attendance, forfeiture was not incurred.

Gavelsed. Otherwise termed Gavelcorn. In 1279, from every half-

Gavelcorn. (I. 107.)
Page 34. Warectabit dimidiam acram. Land ploughed in the spring
and left fallow was termed " Warectum." It is now termed summer fallow.
The word is a form of the Latin " Vervactum," which is thus defined in
Facciolati : " Ager vere proscissus, deindeque quiescens usque ad sequentem
autumnum, quo sementis fit ; quasi vere actum"
Vigilabit circa curiam. The mode of performing the service is de-
scribed in I. 98. " John Aldred, a customary tenant, was bound with the
other tenants of the same rank to provide, that one of them should keep
watch at the court from Christmas to Twelfth-day, and have a good fire in
the Hall, one white loaf, one cooked dish (ferculum coquinse), and a gallon
of ale ; and if any damage were done, he that watched was to make it good,
unless he had raised the hue and cry for the village to go in pursuit."
It is probable, that when services of this kind were commuted by the lord,
the money paid in lieu of service was termed " ward-penny."

Page 39. Furem judicatum suspended Upon the right of lords of
manors to have a gallows and to try and execute robbers, see Spelman in voce
Infangtheof. In the Placita de Quo Warranto, Ed. I. (p. 8), the Abbot of
Waltham being charged with having erected a gallows, (not having had one in
his Manor of Alrichseye (Arlesy, in the county of Bedford), prior to the
last circuit of the Justices in Eyre,) replied; that it was true, that robbers had
been very often condemned in his court and hanged on the gallows of his
neighbours, who lent them to him ; but after the last circuit it happened, that
one Theobald, a robber, was taken " cum manu opere " (with the goods in
his possession) at the suit of a certain person, and condemned in his court ;
and that under the cover of the Royal Charter, which allowed him " In-
fangenethef," he then first erected a gallows after the last circuit, as it was
lawful for him to do ; and further, that robbers, who had been condemned
by the Justices in Eyre, or their deputies, had frequently been delivered to
him to be executed. In a similar proceeding against the Bishop and
Canons of St. Paul's, it was pleaded (p. 476) that the Canons of St. Paul's
possessed the right of Infangenethef, with other privileges, in all their
manors in the county of Middlesex, but that they had no gallows, except
in Finsbury ; and that, when any of the men of their Villse were taken,
their twenty-two hides were convened to pass the judgment upon him, " ad
judicium de eo perficiendura."

this character was also held by tenants of the St. Paul's manors Wicham
and Chingford, in 1279, though no mention is made of them in 1222.
At Wicham Mollond was distinguished from Customary land with respect to
the right of dower, " The widow who held Mollond was entitled to have the
moiety of such land for dower as long as she remained a widow, and the
whole of the customary land, but marrying she lost the whole of it. If
Customary land descended to daughters the eldest took the whole, but
Mollond was divided." (I. 100.)
At Chingford there were several tenants " nativi " holding various
quantities of land described as "terra de mollond per successionem cum
pertinentiis : " we meet also with this description " terra de werklond
cum pertinentiis per successionem ;" and also " terra cum pertinentiis de
mollond et werklond per successionem." There were eighteen such tenants
of Mollond. Mollond and Werklond were, however, different. The services
of the tenants of Mollond are the same as those due from the Custumarii;
but the payment on admission differed at Chingford ; the Operarius paid to
the lord a ploughshare; of tenants of other classes it is said " Ingredientes
Mollond duplicabunt redditum." (I. 65.)
Page 41. Hidarii de Torph. The reader will remark that of nine and
a half hides held by the Hidarii, eight are described as divided amongst
several tenants. (See the Observations on this Tenancy, Introduction,
p. xxv.) In 1279 the number of hides so divided was nine. The services
due from these tenants, as described in the following pages 42, 43, are
enumerated in I. 95, and the value of them, as due from each hide, when
commuted, is estimated at eighteen shillings and eleven pence. The holders
of the nine hides possessed also amongst them seventy-two messuages or
dwelling-houses, and for each messuage some occasional services were due,
in addition to those due for the land in the hide.
Page 43. Ad totum d'nium unius carucce. " Ad totum dignerium." See
pages 55, line 1 1 ; 62, line 27, where it appears that the word dignerium is
equivalent to cibum. The service here mentioned was that of threshing
corn enough for the food of a team (caruca) in winter and spring. Dig-
nerium is explained by Du Cange to be Pastus, Prandium, and derived from
the French "Disner." It is evidently an ancient form of our present
word " dinner." Rot. Hund. Oxon, p. 750. " Unum panem ad dignerium

stake was at one end of the hurdle, and the Wrevia at the other, we may
suppose that the Wrevia was the band which fastened one hurdle to another.
One meaning of reafian'm Anglo-Saxon is "to pull, "hence our word " to reef."

containing 160 acres, is described in I. 89, under the name Ewenemersh,
and as sustaining 400 "oves matrices ad majus centum." We find in
Britton (chap, xx.) the word " Sursane " (Ex Gallico Sursemees Du
Cange); in the Mirror of Justice (cap. i. xvi.), Sussenee ; in Fleta (ii.

Statutum de Pistoribus, " carnes porcinas supersennuatas," swine's flesh
measled," the words in all these places denoting meat unfit for eating.
When therefore the word "susenna" is joined to pasture, it may mean
unsound or rotten pasture, such as is now found on the coast of Essex upon
the " saltings ;" which are formed by the gradual accumulation of silt, and
which require a length of time to become solid before they are inclosed and
fit for the plough.
Page 49. Isti tenent sexacras. By an error of transcription " sexacras "
has been printed instead of " seracras"* and subsequently " sexlond "
instead of " serlond." In 1279 there were ten tenants at Walton holding
" saracres" and at Kirkby sixteen, but the peculiar character of "seracres"
or " serlond" does not appear.
Lodlond. The meaning of this word is uncertain. It may denote the
tenure, as being that of carrying " loads," and of which a particular account
is given in I. 141, " De lodis," as due from the tenants at Sandon ; or it may
be descriptive of the position of the land, as lying upon a " lode '' or canal.

We learn from I. 89, that the sum received in 1279, under the name of

London,] was 24s., paid in equal portions of 8s. at three periods of the year,
the Manor furnishing three firmae at those intervals.

Wardpenny. It is evident, that as the Maltsilver and Landgavel here
mentioned were payable to the Lord, so also was the Wardpenny. (Note,
p. 34, Vtffilabit circa curiam.) It is, however, to be observed that
Wardpenny was one of the payments due to the Crown and payable at the
County Court (see page 58) ; but whether as a commutation for any, or
what kind of guard, we are not informed. At page 64 we read, that the
Manor of Barling paid for its two hides and a half thirteen pence for Ward-
penny, towards which the Demesne lands contributed two pence. The names
of the tenants from whom the Wardpenny was due are given at p. 68.

is more fully described. The Smith paid no rent, but he made all the iron-
work of the ploughs, shod four plough-horses (affros de caruca) and one
cart-horse, the Lord providing iron and steel (asserrum) for the ploughs,
and iron and nails for the horseshoes.
Page 58. Cum sex hidis trium solandarum. From the description
given (p. 93) of the solanda of Chiswick ' quae per se continet duas hidas,"
we infer, that the three Solandae here mentioned, contained each of them two
hides also, and, as has been stated in the Introduction (p. xiv.), of less
dimension than the ordinary hide. It was there conjectured, that the
Solanda might represent the Kentish solimus of 180 acres, and be composed
of two hides of 90 acres each. The word "Solanda" in the Inquisitions
of Tillingham and of Drayton in J181 (pages 142, 145), and in that of
Drayton in 1279 (I. 128), is written Scolanda " and Scholanda." At
Drayton in the account of John Derman's tenement, who was said to hold
forty-three and a half acres " terrae arabilis," and three acres and a half
"de la Scoland," "ploughed land," would seem to be opposed to " Scoland."
TO THE ST. PAUL'S DOMESDAY, A.D. 1222. Ixxix
It is however there particularly stated, that the Scholand contained one
hide of four virgates or 64 acres ; the virgate of Drayton containing only
16 acres; and thus the smallness of this hide of Scholanda at Drayton
confirms the conjecture, that hides in Solanda or Scholanda were generally
less than the ordinary hide.

London was estimated at \l. 6s, 8d.

Chapter had a renewed grant of this Manor from the Crown, which exempted

to them Saca et Soca, &c. (I. 163.)

1XXX NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS
this list, that the burden of the Wardpenny (mentioned at p. 64 as annually
payable by the manor to the bailiff of the hundred of Reilee), was borne by
those tenants in particular, who held " terras operarias," in most instances,
of half a virgate ; and that the payment was chargeable upon the land, and
not upon the persons, the payment being continued though the lands by
escheat became attached to the demesne. A similar list is found at p. 85 of
eight persons of the manor of Nastok, who paid 2d. each towards the \6d.
which was due to the court of the hundred at Hocktide. Of these eight
persons four were Libere Tenentes, other three Nativi, the Libere Tenentes
probably paying the Wardpenuy, as holding lands formerly belonging
to persons of the latter class. In the Survey of Sutton in 1222 there
is no similar enumeration, although Wardpenny is mentioned as paid
by four of the tenants holding half virgates. But the Survey of 1279
(I. 28) contains the names of twelve persons who paid 2d. each as Ward-
penny, together with notice of a Wardpenny of a different character, re-
sembling that paid to the Bercarius at Bernes, p. 105, for the custody of
sheep in the common pasture. " Quilibet habens averia super terruras
Domini ad valentiam xxx d dabit unum denarium ad festum S'ci Martini,
qui vocatur Wardpeny, exceptis illis qui sunt de Ward vigilantes, qui
vigilant ad regiam stratam de nocte (then follow the twelve names), et
recipient Wardestof, et facit (sic) summonitionem de Vigilia, et erit quietus
pro summonitionibus de denariis qui vocantur Wardpenny." In the Survey
of Chingford of 1222 no distinct mention is made of Wardpenny, but in the
Survey of 1279 (I. 65), which recites a " Finalis concordia" made between
the Abbot of Waltham and the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's, 4 Hen. III.
with respect to the Services due to the Half-hundred of the Abbot from the
Tenants of the Manor of Chingford, some statements are made, which
illustrate the duty of " Ward " as rendered at the court of the Hundred, as
well as the payment of Wardpenny within the Manor. That document
states, that it was anciently the custom, that all the Tenants of the Manor,
whether Liberi or Villani, should attend unsummoned three lagehundreds
in the year, from the Tuesday next after the Feast of St. Michael for
fifteen days, from the Tuesday after the Epiphany for fifteen days, and
also from Hokday, on which latter day the tenants were bound " praasen-
tare quandam Wardam in quodam baculo qui vocatur Wardestaf." This
service was due at the Hundred Court. But when the View of Francplege
TO THE ST. PAUL'S DOMESDAY, A.D. 1222. Ixxxi
was held annually, on Friday in Whitsun week, at the church at Chingford,
by the Bailiff of the Hundred, and the Bailiff of the Manor, then, according
to ancient custom, ten pence was paid for Wardpenny.
Charchiare. Apparently a form of " cariare," (carro vehere), and of the
French " charier." (Du Cange.)
Page 70. De cremento ut sit perpetuum. In almost all cases the
increase of rent appears to have been a penny per acre. The tenants
probably obtained a right of inheritance by the increased payment.
Page 72. Duas Wardacras de frumento et avena. The number of
tenants here enumerated as performing this service is ten. We learn from
I. 66, where eight tenants of this class are mentioned, that the whole land
reaped by them was four acres, two of wheat and two of oats. They also
furnished one of the four men who with the Praepositus attended at the
assize upon the Justices in Eyre to represent the Villata. (Bracton,

they had the right of wood and water on the demesne.

service to the bread of four bushels of wheat, a live sheep, a cheese of the
value of 5c?., and a cheesemold, first filled with salt, and afterwards with
oatmeal.

and was sometimes so limited, that it is possible, the privilege which the
Villata of Nastock enjoyed, might only be that of grazing cattle, without
including the right of pannage, or the full enjoyment of the "pessona."
Inquisitio facto, anno secundo post translationem Beati Thomae. The
insertion of this date is remarkable. The translation of the remains of
Saint Thomas of Canterbury took place on the 7th July, 1220. We are not

visit of the Dean and the Treasurer to Chingford must have taken place
prior to 7 July, 1222.

132, 137, 146, and in some cases as "plumbus super furnacem." The text,
as it stands, is defective in meaning; but the inquisition of 1279 justifies
the conjecture, that the service here mentioned is that of filling one-fourth
of the boiler or " plumbus super furnacem," for the purpose of a bath ; for
we there read (I. 60, 63,) of four tenants of this manor, who were bound
" Balinare dominum, et aquam portare, et calefacere ad idem."
Page 92. Duasjirmas plenas. The "plena firma" is distinguished from
the "brevis firma" which is mentioned at p. 122 as payable in 1150 from
the manor of Wicham ; but the relative proportions of the two firmse are not

discoverable. The number of firmse payable from each manor varied ac-
cording to its extent. (See Introduction, p. xxxix.) In later times each
firma contained 16 quarters of wheat, 16 quarters of oats, and three quarters
of barley.

Page 103. TBernes. This manor is described in the Exchequer Domes-
day as forming part of the Archiepiscopal manor of Mortalage, and held of
the Archbishop by the Canons of St. Paul's. The predial services due
from them of ploughing a certain quantity of the Archbishop's land " ad
cibum in curia archiepiscopi," and of attending the " precariae " of the
Archbishop, illustrate the position, that the performance of praedial services
does not imply degradation in condition.
Quorum tamen num'um recepit. The reading is uncertain. Nummum
would mean money received for defects, but numerum appears preferable
as denoting the enumeration of the buildings in the lease granted to the
firmarius. In the lease granted to Gerard de Cusance in 1317 (I. 169)
there is a clause respecting improvements and dilapidations, which illustrates
the allusion here made to the " melioratio " and " deterioratio " of the
buildings. " Et quicquid meliorationis inventum fuerit tune ibidem in
domibus vel utensilibus prsedictis per eum receptis liberum et quietum
eisdeni decano et capitulo remanebit, ita tamen quod, si domos aliquas

NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS
OF THE FRAGMENT OF
THE DOMESDAY OF RADULPHUS DE DICETO IN 1181.
This MS. for the transcription of which the Editor is indebted to the
Rev. H. O. Cox, Under-Librarian of the Bodleian, contains only two leaves,
written in double columns, of the folio size, the handwriting and the page
being of the same character but rather larger than that in the Domesday
of 1 222. They are part of a book which originally contained, as is shown
by the Capitula (p. 110), not only the Inquisition of 1181, but many
other particulars relative to the Cathedral and its possessions.
Page 109. Annus ab Incarnatione, fyc. The date of the Inquisition,
as commencing Jan. 8, 1181, and synchronizing with the 21 of Alex-
ander III. and the 27 of Henry II. accords with the Chronological Tables
of Sir H. Nicolas. The King Henry here mentioned, as the king's son,
was the eldest son of Henry II. who was crowned king during his father's
lifetime, on the 14th June, 1170, being then fifteen years of age. He
died at Castle Martel, in Turenne, in 1182 ; his father died in 1189. He
was crowned a second time at Winchester after his marriage with Mar-
garet, the only daughter of Louis VII. King of France ; and, as he was
twice crowned, he was also twice buried, first at Mans, and afterwards at
Rouen. Sandford, Geneal. Hist. p. 67.

Ricardus Ruffus. A Canon and Prebendary of Twyford, who, in the
time of Hugo de Marini the Dean, became the Firmarius of Belchamp,
(See the Lease, p. 138). His surname Ruffus distinguishes him from
Richard the Archdeacon, who had also held the lease of that manor, but
who was not Archdeacon of Essex later than 1168. Newcourt, in his
Repertorium, has assigned the surname of Ruffus to the Archdeacon, but,
as it appears, incorrectly. It is remarkable that among the lists of tenants
of the manor of Belchamp in 1222, the name of Matilda occurs as "relicta
Ricardi Ruffi," and as holding an acre of land.
Odo de Dammar tino. This person does not appear to have been a
canon. The family, of which he was a member, was settled at Norton >

visited, and the whole time occupied thirty-six days instead of twenty-two.

Robertus persona tenet. The lands of this Robert Persona were held
(the stanwinesland excepted) in 1222 by Ricardus de Petewineshale ; and
subsequently by Nicholas de Petewineshale; and in 1279 by Nicholas his
son. In 1240, another member of the family, William de Petewineshall,
held a messuage formerly held by Richard. It is probable that Robertus
Persona was the ancestor of the family. We learn from I. 101, that, prior to
1279, Nicholas, the son of Nicholas, had sold all his land but seven or
eight acres, one Martinus de Suthmere being both the purchaser of the
Ixxxviii THE DOMESDAY OF RADULPHUS DE DICETO.
fourscore acres which belonged to Nicholas, and also the tenant of twenty-
four acres, for which he rendered service to the manor for himself and his
tenants ; the same Martinus having fourteen tenants rendering him service,
whilst he himself rendered service for a small portion to another tenant,
Robert Lovekyn, who had tenants under him, himself also rendering service
to the manor. Such was the intricacy attendant upon manorial subinfeuda-
tion, being the counterpart upon a smaller scale of the intricacy of the
relations, in which kings and princes and nobles stood to each other, as
possessors of lands, either in the same or in different countries, under the
system of feudality, which scarcely recognised the possession of land apart
from fealty, or the performance of some kind of personal service.

Page 117. Isti tenent terras oper arias. The possessors of some of
these lands appear in the subsequent Inquisition of 1222. Stanhard's
half-virgate was held by John de Wicham ; that of Lambertus, the son of
Ailinar, descended to his daughter, Basilia ; that of Lambertus grossus to
his widow Alicia. Robert the son of Wlurinus was still alive ; and his son
had become a tenant.
OBSERVATIONS ON THE INCREASED RENTAL OF LANDS
IN BELCHAMP, A.D. 1240, pp. 118121.
This document, which exhibits an increase made in the rent payable by
the tenants of certain lands of the demesne termed tl inlands " to the amount
of one-half of the former rent, illustrates the statement in the Introduction
(p. viii.), that increase of rent was to be obtained by the lords of manors
only for newly inclosed lands, or for lands belonging to the demesne.
These tenants had held their lands " sine auctoritate capituli," that is, at
the will of the firmarius, and it is to be remarked, that the proposal to increase
the rent came from the tenants themselves, " infrascripti tenentes augmentave-
runt redditum assisum," on the condition that they should hold under the
chapter, " ut auctoritas capituli interveniret." It is probable, that thus
holding of the chapter, they acquired a permanent and hereditary right in
the land; the survey of Runwell in 122:2 (pp. 70, 71) containing a record
of a similar increase in the rent of lands in the demesne, with the addition
" de cremento per capitulum, ut sit perpetuum."
The number of the tenants in this document is 31. In ten instances
either the tenants or their family may be identified in the survey of 1222,
viz. Henr' Pictor, Rogerus fil' Rob', Johannes Pelliparius, Henr' dux,

W 7 ith respect to the tenants of the demesne of this manor of Belchamp, it
is remarkable, that the information respecting them in the documents of St.
Paul's relates to four periods, the years 1181, 1222, 1240, 1279. Hugo
de St. Edmund, here mentioned as Gustos Manerii, was Prebendary of
Ealdstreet, and 1250 Archdeacon of Colchester.

NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE
LEASES OF THE MANORS OF ST. PAUL'S DURING THE
TWELFTH CENTURY, pp. 122139.
Of these documents, seventeen in number, sixteen relate to the manors
of Wicham, Cadendun, R unwell, Adulvesnasa, Darling, Bernes, Kens-
wurth, Belchamp, Nastock, Sandun, Chingeford, and Ardeley, and one to a
property at Twyford, which is recorded in the Exchequer Domesday
(Middx.) as belonging to the Canons of St. Paul's, but which, being held
as a distinct prebend, and not forming a part of the " communa," was not
included in the Inquisition of 1222.
These documents, as recorded in Book L (fol. 32 46), are transcripts
of leases, which, as appears from the lease of Belchamp (p. 138), were
executed in two parts and indented ; as to their date, they are earlier by
several years than the Chartse of the same kind in Madox's Formulare
Anglicanum, and they form the commencement of a series of similar
documents now remaining in the archives of St. Paul's, under which,
modified from time to time as fresh conditions were added to the lease, the
Canons who were Residentiaries held the Manors of the cathedral as
lessees to the end of the fifteenth century.

Ailwini sacerdotis. It appears from the names of the witnesses to this
lease that Ailwinus the priest had four sons, Robert, William, Ranulph,
and Henry. Whether matrimony was allowed or not to priests, it is thus
certain, that in that age they did not disown their children. Among the
witnesses in the next lease (p. 124) we find Walter the son of the Bishop.
Debet redder e Robertus ; and p. 123, Debet Ailwinus redder e. The
scribe, in making out the lease to Robert the son, of a property held by
Ailwinus the father, appears to have copied the original lease to Ailwinus
without properly altering the name. The names of the witnesses do not
supply the means of determining the date of this lease, which is in sub-
stance as old as that of Ailwinus the father of Robert, and is upon the face
of it a transfer of the lease from the father to the son.
LEASES OF THE MANORS OF ST. PAUL S.
XC1
In festo S'cti Martini, et S'cti Joannis Baptists. The firma of
Wicham, originally payable at these feasts, continued to be paid on nearly
the same days, and at the same intervals, at a much later period. (See the
Tables, p. 155-159.)
Sexdecem boves quemque preciatum xxviiid. The prices, which are
affixed to the different kinds of live stock in these leases, being those
payable at the end of the lease, may be assumed to represent their ordinary
value ; oxen and horses being worth 3s. ; sheep 3rif., 4d., and 5d. ; and
goats 4d. ; boars and sows from Sd. to 12df. ; pigs, varying according to
their size and age, from a penny for a sucking-pig, to 4c?., 5c?., 8c?., and I2d.
We have to remark, that the lowest prices for horses and oxen are
those fixed in this lease to Robert the son of Ailwin, the horses being
valued at 2s. 6d. instead of 3*., and the oxen at 2s. 4e?., the values being
reduced from those in the lease held by his father. A goat also in the
father's lease was valued at 6</., but in the son's at 4d. The prices of the
stock in the lease of Sandun (p. 131), granted in 1155, are interesting, as
showing a great variety in the values of the horses on that manor ; the careta-
rius equus being worth 6s. 2d., others 5s., 4s., and 2s. There was a similar
difference in the value of oxen of 5s. 4c?., 5s., and 3s. The two leases
of Ardele (pp. 135, 136), (the first of which was granted in 1141), show
also similar differences of value ; in the former, horses and oxen were
valued at 3s. ; but in the latter, the horses were valued at 3s. and 6s., the
oxen at 3s. and 2s.
Cum vii. denariis elemosince. This sum was received every week by
the Almoner : it was probably applied, not to the poor generally, but to
the u pueri elemosinarise," or choristers, as they were afterwards termed.
Tripes cum mammola. A three-legged stool with a hand-mill. In the
inventory of Wicham, in 1279 (I. 97), the word is "mola manualis."
Orreum. The dimensions here given of the height from the floor to
the principal beam (trabes); from the principal to the ridge (festum}\
the lateral distance between the pillars (pastes) ; the breadth of the
wing or aisle (ala) ; and the whole length, with the hipped bays or
lean-to at the end of the barn (cum culaciis), exhibit the entire structure
of the barn.
Page 123. Orrcum plenum de mancorno plenum frumenti plenum
avena. As the tenant generally received in stock on his entering upon the
manor the produce of the former year, so at the termination of the lease

he left behind the same quantity. The stock of corn and cattle thus put
into the tenants' hands was equivalent to so much capital towards carrying
on the work of the farm.
Page 123. Contra castella. If we accept the definition of Wardpeny,
as given by Spelman, " Denarii Vicecomiti vel aliis Castellanis persoluti
ob castrorum presidium vel excubias," we may infer that Wardpeny is the
payment here alluded to, though described in an unusual manner.
Page 124. Totum bladum manerii. The produce of a whole year.
Ad liberationem. For wages to the members of the cathedral. (See
Introduction, p. xlvii.)
Page 125. Adquietavit ipse Ricardus. As the tenant of Wicham
guaranteed to protect the rights of the villa against the usual demands of the
County (see page 123), so here there was an engagement to defend the like
right against the King, and specially against penalties for " sartum," or
breaking up forest land. The influence of Richard the Archdeacon with
the Chapter must have been powerful to procure him permission to name the
Canon, who should succeed him in the lease. The mention of his purpose
to plant a vineyard, dividing the wine made between himself, his successor,
and the Chapter, and the engagement on the part of the Chapter to confirm
all the agreements, which the Archdeacon should make with the tenants as
respected rents, are proofs, that the taking the lease was really a com-
mercial speculation.
Reddet in die annivermrii ejus. A payment for an obit on the anni-
versary of his death and the performance of a mass.
Adulvesnasa. This extensive manor comprised a large district in the
hundred of Tendring and county of Essex, containing three parishes,
Thorpe, Kirkby, and Walton, called at this day, with reference to the
ancient manorial jurisdiction of the Chapter, " The Sokens." Of all the
Manors possessed by the cathedral it lay at the greatest distance, and pro-
bably was on that account not included in the number of the Manors
which rendered the firmae every week at St. Paul's. At the end of
the twelfth century the rent of this Manor was 45/., but when Richard de
Newport, as Prebendary of Islington, held the lease (prior to 1 304) the
annual rent paid by him for the Manor and the tithes was 104/. in quarterly
payments. (I. 167.)
Sine omnimoda hereditate. A provision, combined with those which
follow, barring the heirs of the lessee from any claim of possession. That
OF THE LEASES OF THE MANORS OF ST. PAUL'S. xciii
this was not an unnecessary precaution, is shown by proceedings which took
place in 46 Hen. I II. in a cause before the Justices in Eyre, at Chelmsford, in
which Richard de Tilbury brought an ejectment against the then Firmarius
of the Manor and Church of Tillingham, alleging that he was the grand-
son and heir of Richard de Tillingham his grandfather, who had died
siezed in fee of the premises ; the fact being, that this Richard had no
other interest in the premises, except that as his father and uncle were the
Firmarii of the Manor, and his uncle also Firmarius of the Church under
the Chapter ; he himself was born in the Manor House. The Dean and
Chapter appeared to answer in behalf of their tenant, and the case went to
a jury ; the verdict was in favour of the Chapter, and Richard de Tilbury
was " in misericordia pro falso clamore." (Book I. fol. 72 b.)
Page 126. Imphmentum. The term " implementum " appears, from
the expression "implementum bladi de meliori blado," to have a particular
reference to produce. At page 138 we find " instauramenta," and also
" implementa." Possibly the quantities of corn, which were part of the
stock, were called "implementa," as filling prescribed portions of the barns.
In constantiis, i. e. (see pp. 1 29, 132, " pistrini et bracini "). Constantiae,
expensse ; Du Cange. Under the term ' constantiae " it would seem, that
not only wood for fuel in baking and brewing was included, but also the
wages of the brewer and baker ; for in later times there was paid with each
firma 6,v. Sd. for wood and 3*. 1 Od. for " liberatio famulorum."
Ad communitatem. The chapter was termed " Communitas ; " the
common fund divisible among them, " Communia."
Page 127. Recepti suntfratres, &c. These persons were most pro-
bably not received as Canons, but only admitted to the privilege of " Frater-
nity " (see Du Cange and Hoffman in voce), as is shewn by the expression,
"tarn beneficiis quam orationibus." This phrase, as denoting the advantage
of masses and of prayers, occurs in a charter of the middle of the thirteenth
century, now in the archives of St. Paul's, which (after reciting that Alexander
the cordwainer and Roysia his wife had given to the Church of St.
Augustine at the gate of St. Paul's a piece of ground on the north side of
the church sixteen feet wide towards the north, and fifteen feet in length
towards the west, for the extension of the church and the erection of an
altar to the Virgin) further states ; that in return for this gift the Rector
of the church, with the consent of the Dean and Chapter, had agreed " quod

It is probable that the " Confrariae " of which mention is made in the
" Extenta terrarum Hospitalis S. Johannis Jerusalem in Anglia," recently
published by the Camden Society, as always attendant upon every Pre-
ceptory, and whose voluntary contributions formed a considerable part of
its revenues, were fraternities of persons, who shared the benefit of the
prayers of the order. We may observe, that a Preceptory inhabited by
two or three or more members of the order would hardly be lonely, when
surrounded by a confraternity of persons living in society> sharing the
religious exercises of the order, and contributing voluntarily, but liberally,
to its revenues.
Ge**suma. This Anglo-Saxon word denotes any kind of compensation,
whether in the way of purchase or reward, or for damages. The ten shil-
lings here called gersuma was the premium or fine paid for the grant of
the lease.
Lancept. A varied form of landceap or landcop, money given for the
possession or purchase of land. (See Laws of Ethelred, iii. 3. Du Cange.
Bosworth's A.-S. Dictionary.)
Pro eorum animabus, &c. On the death of the survivor any property
in the manor belonging to the tenant was to be accounted a legacy to the
Chapter, to be disposed of to pious uses for the souls of the deceased
tenants.
De Tuiferde. This document is peculiarly interesting, as relating to
one of those portions of the cathedral property which formed the "pre-
benda," or separate estate of one of the canons. (See Introduction, pp. iii.
iv ) The exact time at which each of the thirty canons of the cathedral
received an estate for their maintenance apart from the " communa," or
general fund, and became entitled " Prebendarii, de Tuiferd, de Willesdon,
de Neasdon," &c. is involved in obscurity. We may, however, trace the
commencement of the system, as respects the cathedral of St. Paul, in the
OF THE LEASES OF THE MANORS OF ST. PAUL'S. XCV
instances, which are recorded in the Exchequer Domesday, of Canons of the
cathedral holding separate estates. In Tuiferd, Durandus and Gueri each
held two hides. In Rugemere, Radulphus, a canon, had a similar holding. At
St. Pancras, Walter, a canon, also held one hide. The property which after-
wards constituted the two prebends of Cadington was at that time held by the
Canons, but was not yet made u prebendal." (See note, " Praeter duas prse-
bendas," p Ixiii.) With respect to the property at Tuiferd here mentioned^
it is interesting to observe, that the same Durandus who held it in 1086
was alive in 1103, and that his name appears in the catalogue given in
Newcourt's Repertorium (vol. i. p. 217) as the first prebendary of
Twyford. The property was subsequently held for a few years, as we
learn from this charter, by Reynerus, and was then surrendered by him to
the Chapter in favour of Walter de Cranford and his daughter. The rent
payable is remarkable, as consisting of five shillings in money, and also the
tithes of corn, sheep, and goats. Twenty shillings a sum equal to four
times the money-rent was also to be paid at the death of the sur-
viving tenant as an obit, on the interment of his or her body at the
cathedral.
Page 128. De Kenswurda. This manor, though it joined Cadington,
never paid its rent in " firmae," but, as the manor of Edulvesnasa, in money.
The terms of the lease are remarkable, if the words " sic deinceps " are to
be literally understood, for it would seem that the rent varied in a cycle of
seven years. The first year's rent being 51., that of the second 61., of the
third 7/., of the fourth 8/., of the fifth, sixth, and seventh 10, reverting
again at the beginning of the second seven years to 51. In 1279 the rent
of the manor was 20 13*. 4d. t and the value of the church twenty-eight
marks, 18 13*. 4d.

Bladum Izx. acrarum. The demesne lands were generally cultivated in
three courses, or seasons, as they were termed. In this manor the three
courses were, seventy acres in winter corn, seventy acres in spring corn,
and eighty in fallow, " Warectatae."

parts the halla, the domus, and the thalamus. Their respective heights

the beam indicate that each room was open to the roof, and that the roof
resembled that of a barn.*
JRicardus Archid' ut teneret Edolvesnasa. The former lease of this
manor to William de Occhenden has been noticed at p. 125. It here
appears, that on his death Richard the Archdeacon of Essex bought the
lease of that manor by paying 20 marcs " in gersumam." From the
account here given of his conduct in bargaining with the Chapter to hold
Belchamp with Edulvesnasa, and extorting their consent to the non-fulfil-
ment on his part of all the conditions on which he obtained the two manors,
it would seem that he was not a favourite amongst his brethren. He is sup-
posed to have been archdeacon 1142 to 1168. He appears to have been
a different person from Ricardus Ruffus, who, a few years later, at the time
of the inquisition of Ralph de Diceto in 1-181 (see page 111), had accu-
mulated to himself a large share of the cathedral possessions, holding at
that time, together with Edulvesnasa and Belchamp, the manors of Barling
and Runwell, with a moiety of the manor of Sandone. Richard the Arch-
deacon and Richard Ruffus are both of them mentioned as having at the
same time an interest in the church and manor of Runwell. (See page 150.)
Page 181. Homines ex duobus Orlocis. Waleton, Kyrkby, and Thorp
were the ecclesiastical divisions of the great manor of Edulvesnasa in 1 181
(see pp. 148, 149). In the inquisition of 1222 the Hidarii of Kirkby and
Horlock are enumerated together, and only one Horlock mentioned. A
change appears to have been afterwards made in the duty of repairing
buildings here mentioned. At the time of granting this lease the tenants
were to repair the four houses of the court, but not the great barn ; whereas
in 1222 the granarium of Waleton was to be repaired with timber felled,
and prepared, and carried by them, and the ox house, " bovaria,'' (but not
its lean-to, ' culacium,") made at their own cost of labour. (See p. 48.)
Adhuc in curia ilia sunt, &c. Inventories of the live and dead stock

number, from whom the " opera," or day-works here mentioned, were due.
The obligation was proportionate to the quantity of land, one day's labour
per week being due for every five acres held by the tenant (see page 5 1 ,
line 18). The whole amount of the labour here mentioned, at 69 days per
week, is equal to that of eleven and a half men. The demesne land of
Waleton in 1222 contained 720 acres, towards the cultivation of which that
number of men would supply no inconsiderable part of the necessary labour.
Acrce de wareto, rebinatce^ faldatce, seminatce. The nine score
.acres " de wareto" here mentioned probably formed a third course or
<^ seisio" of the demesne lands, of which we read at p 133, " Tota seisio
waretata." The words " rebinatee, faldatae, seminatae," shew the actual
condition of the fallow or wareta; part was rebinata, twice ploughed
(Du Cange) ; another part faldata, folded with sheep for manure ; and
another seminata, sown; the remainder was still war eta, or fallow. At
p. 133, " faldicium etfemicium" folding and manure, are mentioned in con-
junction with the " seisio waretata."

three rooms: the halla, the domus, and the thalamus (see page 129).
The Court-house of Thorp, here described, was more extensive: 1. the
hall; 2. the chamber; 3. the trisantia;* 4. two " privatse domus;" 5. the
kitchen ; 6. the brewhouse ; 7. the malthouse ; 8. the dairy ; 9. the
ox-shed ; 10. three henhouses. At Sandon (p. 134) the Court-house
contained 1. the hall; 2. the chamber; 3. the privata ; 4. the ox- shed ; 5.
the washhouse (bateressa) ; 6. the brewery ; 7. the pigstye ; 8. the henhouse.
At Ardelei (p. 136) the buildings were 1. a good hall; 2. a chamber;
3. a trisanta ; 4. an addition to the hall on the south ; 5. a privata domus
adjoining the camera ; 6, another in the court; 7. a granary ; 8. a kitchen ;
9. a hay-house; 10, a stable. In the lease before mentioned as granted
to Richard Newport, Archdeacon of Middlesex, the condition of the
Manor-house and building at Waleton is thus described (I. 167): " The
old hall with a sollarf and a fire-place (caminus), and a garderoba at the
top of the hall on the west, and also a great chamber with a trisantia at the
same end of the hall ; a great kitchen, in^which were a bakehouse and a
brewhouse, and an oven ; a dairy and a large granary ; a henhouse, and a
great stable outside the court (extra curiam) towards the west, used as a
cowhouse, because the cowhouse and ox-shed, and a long stable divided
into three, has lately been destroyed by the inroad of the sea. Also a
chapel situate within the court adjoining the chamber, with five glazed win-
dows ; a dovecote and a building to hold waggons and carts : also a
sollar with a small cellar at the hall door."
Page 133. Facient justitiam de Rad* de Marci. Theodore and
Robert were (as appears from the foregoing document), the Firmarii of
Navestock ; and Radulphus de Marci was a refractory tenant, who withdrew
his services and rents due for lands held by him, belonging to the Chapter.
The amount of these services and rents was of such value, that in the case
* The Trisantia appears to have been that part of a hall or chamber, which was sepa-
rated by a screen, and which might form either an ante- chamber or a recess. In 1283 the
manor-house of Sutton had " unam cameram divisam cum trisantiis ad clericos."
(I. 24.)
f The Solarium or sollar was a room or chamber at the top of the building. " Sola*

character of the solarium is more clearly shown by the definition in the Catholicon of

NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS.
of the Firmarii being unable, or finally the Chapter neglecting, to enforce
the payment of them, it was but an act of justice to the Firmarii, that the
Chapter should release them from a part of their obligation, and take
account of the loss which they must sustain. It would seem, however, that
this Radulfus de Marci, or at least his successor, became tractable ; for we
find in the inquisition of 1222 that William de Breaute, with the heir and
daughter of de Marci, then held the land of Radulfus for xvis., and
satisfied the Crown for all the demands upon the hide, to which allusion is
here made as the " regis exactiones;" it being said of him (p. 75)
" consuevit defendere earn versus regem."
Page 135. Gulielmum aurifabrum cognomento monachum. This
surname was probably a soubriquet, the person to whom it was given
being a goldsmith, and married, as appears from the mention here made
of his wife. The nature of the " pactum " or bargain here alluded to is
not mentioned, but the delay in procuring sureties for the fulfilment of it
would show, either that there something in it out of course, or that the
goldsmith and his wife were not persons of high credit.
TheopTiania. Most probably the festival of the Epiphany, January 6 ;
although, as appears from the authorities quoted in Suicer's Thesaurus,
vol. i. p. 1200, the words Qeotyaveia and eirifyaveia were used in the Greek
church synonymously of the day of our Saviour's birth.

NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE INQUISITION OF
THE MANORS OF ST. PAUL'S IN 1181, pp. 140152.
The whole of this Inquisition, which comprises the Churches as well as
the Manors of the Cathedral, has generally been assigned to the year 1181,
and considered as part of the Inquisition of Radulfus de Diceto of that year
already noticed. That part of it which relates to the Manors (from page
140 to the words " summa denariorum 1. sol." in page 146,) is extracted
from Book L. of which volume it occupies the 77th and 78th folios ; but
the preface to the Inquisition has been omitted, because it is identical with
the preface, which is printed at page 112, and which begins with the
words " Ut facilius veritas," and ends with " errori vel fraudi." It is to
be observed also, that the latter part of the Inquisition, which relates to the
Churches (commencing at page 146 with the words " Post maneriorum in-
quisitionem," and ending at page 152), does not follow consecutively in
Book L. Other matter intervenes, occupying folio 79, whilst folio 80,
though ruled for writing, is wholly blank, the words " Post maneriorum
inquisitionem" occupying 1 the first line of folio 81, and being rubricated.
These facts would be trivial, did they not confirm the conjecture, that
this part of Book L. has been taken from the records of two separate
Inquisitions, the one relating to the Manors, the other to the Churches;
and that the Inquisition of the Manors, of which an abstract is here
given, (though of the time of Henry II. and subsequent to 1170, when
Robert Mantell became the Sheriff of Essex,) was prior to the Inquisition
of Manors and Churches in 1181, a conjecture forced upon us by
the mention in this Inquisition of several persons, as Firmarii of manors,
di NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS
who had ceased to be Firmarii in 1 181, such as Odo the Firmarius of Luve-
hale (p. 141), Bartholomew & Gaufridus of Wycham (p, 142), Willielmus
de Ocehyndun of Edulvesnase (ib.), Ailmarus of Chingford (p. 144), and
Theodoric of Dray ton (p. 145). As respects, however, the Inquisition of
the Churches, there is internal evidence, that it really forms a part of the
Inquisition of 1181, the names of the Firmarii according with those found
in the list of the Firmarii in pages 110 112.
Page 140. Temper e Regis Henrici primi. The reign of Henry I. as
synchronising with the deanship of Willielmus (from 1111 to 1138), is here
mentioned as the period, at which each manor was rated to hidage, according
to the number of hides stated in this Inquisition. In the generality of the
manors the assessment continued to be the same with that recorded in the
Exchequer Domesday ; but the variations, 1. of increase of hidage, in the
case of Ardley from six to seven hides, of Edulvesnase from twenty-six to
twenty-seven, of Barling from two and a-half to three; and '2. of diminution
of hidage, as at Tidwoldentun from eight hides to seven and a-half, at
Chingford from six to five, at Barnes from eight to four, and at Sutton
from five to three, not only prove, that as respects the manors of St.
Paul's some considerable changes took place in the reign of Henry I.
with respect to their hidage, but also render it probable, that similar
changes might have been made at the same time in the hidage of the whole
kingdom.
Vicecomiti reddebat xx. solidos. These payments were received by the
Vicecomes or Sheriff on behalf of the Crown, and an account of them
rendered to the Exchequer. The amount paid by each manor was not
in proportion to the number of hides, even in the same county ; if
estimated according to the hides, Cadendon and Kensworth would be found
to pay at the rate of 2s. per hide, Ardley and Luvehale at 3s. 4d., Sandon
at 4s.
Duas marcas vel panem unius hebdomads ad libitum firmarii. The
payment of the firma of one week at the option of the Firmarius, either in kind
or by two marks, was an advantage to the Firmarius, whenever, by a rise in
the price of corn, the value of a week's bread exceeded two marks, 1 /. 6*. Sd.
In the year 1283 the weekly delivery of bread was nearly 800 loaves, the
value of the loaf, which weighed six marks and a-half or 52 ounces, was
at that time three farthings, and the price of wheat 4*. 6d. per quarter,
OF THE INQUISITION OF THE MANORS A.D. 1181. ciii
Whenever the price of the loaf exceeded three-eighths of a penny, and
wheat exceeded 2*. 3d. per quarter, it was to the advantage of the Firmarius
to pay in kind. On referring to the " Assisa panis cervisise " (Statutes of
the Realm, vol. i. p. 199,) we discover, that the lowest price at which
wheat was supposed to be sold in England was twelve pence, the highest
twenty shillings, per quarter.

Poterit dominus ponere ad operationem. The " dominus " here men-

that of letting out to tenants any part of the demesne lands. In the lease
of Runwell (p. 125) the Chapter undertook to confirm any agreements,
which the Firmarius might make for lei ting lands to tenants. The Firmarii
of these two manors, Kensworth and Runwell, were probably not under
the usual obligation to retain the demesne lands in their own hands,
because the rent of those manors was payable in money, and not in kind.

formerly bore a part in this contribution as part of the Manor of Sandon,
instead of paying a half mark on its own account.

Paul's in the county of Essex made payments to the Praepositus, Bailiff, or
Reeve of the hundred, as well as to the Vicecomes or Sheriff; but in the
other counties, Middlesex and Herts, the payments were to the Vicecomes
alone.
Wardpenny. In this Inquisition Wardpenny is mentioned as payable
only by four manors, Wicham, Norton, Chingford, and Nastock. We know,
however, that it was payable from Sutton (See note, Wardpenny, p. 68),
where a watch was kept in the night at the Regia Strata, or King's High-
way, and a Wardstaff received ; the account of which, when compared with
c iv NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS
the tale of the Wardstaff as a Hock-tide ceremony (noticed in Sir F.
Palgrave's Rise and Power of the British Commonwealth, vol. ii. p. clviii.
and published by Morant in his History of Essex, i. p. 126), leaves us
without doubt, that the customs of Chingford and of Sutton, as respected
the Watch and the Wardstaff, were identical, and, if superstitious, the
remnant of a superstition as ancient as Hockday itself.
Page 141. Alter a dimidia est in dominio geldabilis. That is, the
remaining half-hide (which, with the half-hide belonging to the Church and
the nine hides assessed to the tenants, completed the ten hides for which
hidage was due from the manor), was in the demesne paying hidage. The
demesne lands of Sandon in 1222 really contained five hides and a half, but
hidage was paid by the Chapter upon only half a hide. So also at Wicham,
(see page 142) where the demesne contained 200 acres, the land of the
demesne, which paid geld with the villata, was only 39 acres.
Page 142. Pro xxvii. hidis et dimid' de Snutinge. Some words appear

part in the payment of the hidage with the other lands.

had found no mention of denegeld after the reign of Stephen

Page 143. Berlinga defendebat se pro tribus hidis. The variations in
the number of hides rateable in this manor are remarkable. T. R. W. the
manor was rated at 2| hides, less 15 acres ; i.e. 300 acres 15 = 285.
T. 11. H. at 3 hides, or 360 acres. When the whole manor was rated
at 3 hides, the demesne was first rated at 2 hides, less 40 acres = 200
acres, and afterwards at a hide and a half = 180 acres. In 1222,
only twenty acres of the demesne were liable to the annual payment of
2*. 2d. for hidage, and 2d. for wardpenny.
Page 144. De quolibet husebondo. The words " husband" and "hus-
wife" are descriptive of a married pair, as the house-bond and the house-
wife. In the laws of Canute ( 73) the husband is denominated simply
the " bonda," a word which, as meaning " one bound," is a remarkable
evidence of the ancient feeling and opinion as to the reality of the ties of
marriage.
Obolus de franco plegio. " Francum plegium " expresses in Norman-
Latin the Anglo-Saxon " Frith -borh," or Peace-pledge, by which every Free-
man was under security to the Crown for his good behaviour, and which was
probably coeval with the origin of Anglo-Saxon society, though not forming a
distinct feature in the Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence before the time of Edgar,
A.D. 959-973. From the time of Canute (A.D. 1017-1035) we have
evidence, that the institution had taken the shape, in which it is presented
to us, as an English law or custom, affecting every town and village in
every county; the law of Canute, s. 20 (Laws of England, vol. i. p. 387),
having enacted, that every Freeman be brought into a hundred and into
a tything, who wishes to be entitled to Lad or to Wer ; . . . . and that
every one be brought into a hundred and in "borh" (i.e. security); and
let the "borh" hold and lead him in every plea. Under Edward the
Confessor the custom was still more clearly defined ; the whole of the inha-
bitants of every villa being formed into tl decenna?," or companies of ten,
the nine being answerable for any " foris factura " co mmitted by one of the
ten. Over each decenna there was a chief entitled Frithborgheved or Head-
borrow, and, in Latin Decennarius or Capitalis Plegius. Francplege appears
to be recognised in the laws of Will. (I. 25 ; III. 14 ; ib. pp. 479, 493) as one
of the customs of the time of the Confessor; but there is no certain evidence,
prior to the law De hundredis tenendis, Hen. I. (ib. p. 315) of all the freemen
being summoned twice in the year to the court of the hundred, for the pur-

pose of ascertaining the condition of the decaniaa or decennse, whether de-
fective or having increased in numher. The age of twelve years was that at
which, under the law of Canute, as well as under the law of Hen. I. the free-
man was to be in borh," and enrolled in a decenna. The view of francplege
was declared by the lawyers in the reigns of the Edwards (see Placita de quo
Warranto) to be " qusedam jurisdictio regalis mere spectans ad coronam et
ad dignitatem coronas domini regis ; " and also " quaedam justiciaria ad
dignitatem corona regis spectans, pro conservatione pacis suse, quam quidem
justiciariam nemini licet exercere, sine speciali concessione domini regis vel
ejus progenitorum " (pp. 88, 89, et alibi); but, notwithstanding these decla-
rations, the Rotuli Hundredorum and the Placita de quo Warranto contain
abundant evidence, that the lords of manors generally possessed this pri-
vilege in virtue of custom or of royal grants, but which, if prior to the
Conquest, had need of confirmation ; it being laid down as a principle
(page 4), " quod in Conquestu Angliac quaalibet jurisdictio ad coronam
regiam fuit annexa." The writers upon the " view of francplege " give no
information, as to the period in which the personal attendance, of all the
free tenants for enrolment in decenna3 at the manor courts, or that of the
" Capitales Decennarii," or Headmen at the county court, ceased to be
required. There can be no doubt of its continuance to as late a period as
the reign of Edw. III., the payments for view of francplege from each manor
forming a part of the revenue of the Crown, which the subject frequently
contrived to evade, and the exaction of which by the King's vicecomites
or bailiffs was an excuse for oppression. At this period also the obligation
of the ten members of the decenna to be answerable to the Crown for any
" forisfactura" committed by any one of them still continued in force.
Upon the numerous duties performed by the manorial courts at the time
when the view of francplege took place, and which are described in the Statutes
of the Realm, vol. i. page 246, it would be foreign to our purpose to make
any observation ; and if apology be necessary for the length of this note, it
must be found in the fact, that the law and practice of francplege, as here
stated and illustrated by the examples in the note below,* is one of

England as late as the fourteenth century was Anglo-Saxon, and that
the Conquest made no essential change in the general principles of the
law, or in the relation in which different classes of men stood to each

Page 144. Ad scotallampr&positi. Scotalla, Anglice Scotale. There is
some difference of opinion as to the derivation of this word (see Spelman and
Du Cange); but, notwithstanding the dissent of Spelman, ale-scot, i.e.
ale-tax, appears to be its meaning. Scotalla, and Scotallum, are used to
denote a Meeting, and Scotale, the beer which was brewed to be consumed
or sold at the Scotalla. The " Capitula Itineris," as contained in the Statutes
of the Realm, i. p. 234, and in Bracton (fol. 117), exhibit various forms of the
word. Scotale, sotale, filctale, filson ale, and outlaw's ale one Article of
the Capitula being as follows : " Of inferior bailiffs which make the ale,
which is called scotale, and sometimes filson ale, or outlaw's ale, that they

may extort money from the suitors of the hundred, and those subject to
them ; of those who make ale and gather garbs in the autumn, taking away
and extorting corn from the poor." From the mention which is made of
Scotalia and Scotalte in the Forest Charters of Henry III. and in the Char-
ter and Forest Law of Edward I. it would appear, that the Scotalia was an
assembly, the proceedings of which were connected with the administration
of forest law. In the Magna Charta of John no notice is taken of Scot-
allse; but, since in the subsequent forest charters they are distinctly pro-
hibited, we may conclude, that the Scotalla? were amongst the " malse con-
suetudines de forestis," which, by the terms of the Magna Charta of John,
were to be inquired into and done away. J3ut it would seem that, though
the great lords and their tenants desired the abolition of the Scotallae, the
foresters and bailiffs, whose pecuniary interests-, or whose sports, were
endangered, had influence enough to prevent their annihilation ; for not only
do we find, that a limited construction is put upon the prohibitory clauses of
the charters, both in the English translation of the charter of Edward I. and
also in the " statute of fines levied " (Stat. Re. i. 120, 126) ; but it is also to
be remarked, that when the prohibitory statute of Edward III. 1351 (ib. p.
321), (which forbad " any forester or keeper, or keeper of forest or chace, or
any other minister, to make or gather sustenance, or victuals, or other thing,
by colour of their office, against any man's will,") allowed them still to take
"that which was due of old right," it rather established than destroyed the
custom. In the forest charters mention is made of " corn, lambs, and young
pigs," as taken for the Scotallce ; but Fleta's " Scotales garb?e" (ii. c. 41,
25), and the conduct of the foresters of Cranborne, as described below,
would render it probable that the demands were in their time limited to what
was required for making ale.*
The following payments were anciently due from the Chapter Manor of
Chingford to the Half Hundred of the Abbot of Waltham : " De Domi-
nico ad Scotallam vij.d. et de quolibet astro tenentium (from every hearth)

OF THE INQUISITION OF THE MANORS, A.D. 1181. cix
In Summer's Essay on Gavelkind (p. 30), a charter is cited, in which
mention is made of payments by tenants to the Scotalla of the Archbishop ;
and in the lieger book of the Abbess of Shaftesbury (Harleian MS. 61),
we find the following entries:
" Homines de Wrokesham. Quilibet debet ad scotallam, iij d . ob."
"Omnes alii ibunt ad scotallum domina? sicut ad scotallum vicinorum."
fol,86.
" Quilibet, praeter libere tenentes, ad scotallum, iij d . ob. vidua ij d ."
Besides, however, the Scotalla of the Forest, there was also a Scotalla of
the Church, which we find mentioned and prohibited in the Provincial Con-
stitutions of Archbishops Langton and Edmund in 1209 and 1236, and in
the Diocesan Canons of Durham, Worcester, and Salisbury, in 1220, 1240,
and 1256. From the Constitution of Edmund, which forbids the Bannum
Scotallorum, or bidding to the Scotale, being made by the priest, we learn,
that notice of these meetings was publicly given ; and, from the description
of the object of the institution, viz. the salvation of men's souls and bodies
(" Scotallae et alia) communes potationes pro salute animarum et corporum
introducta?," Wilkins, Concilia, vol. i. pp. 530 and 719), we may reason-
ably conjecture, that this Scotale owed its origin to, or is connected with, the
Anglo-Saxon sawl sceat, soul scot, symbolum animal, or pecunia sepulture,
which was recognised by the laws of Athelstan, Edgar, Ethelred, and Canute,
as payable to the church of the deceased at the open grave. (See the
references, Laws of England, Soulscot.)

" a stud of horses." In the Abbreviatio Rotulorum Originalium Scaccarii (vol.

stud; and also of the "custodia pullanorum et jumentorum et totius equitii "
(p. 97) ; and of provision " ad fenum, literam, avena, et alia necessaria
pro sustentatione equitii regis." (p. 160b.) The meaning of the words
"quantum volueris," as added to "equicium," are obscure ; but, since Ching-
ford adjoined the Forest of Waltham, it is probable that the lord of the manor
of Chingford might have the right of depasturing within the forest any number
of horses, at such times as the forest was not in " fence." We may quote in
illustration chap. viii. of the Leges Forestarum Scotic, which is as follows : -

Of this encroachment upon the lands of the chapter by a former member
of the family mention is made in the Exchequer Domesday, vol. ii. p. 12 :
" De hoc manerio abstulit Petrus de Valoniis unam hidam et octo acras
prati qua3 pertinebant manerio T. R. E. et silvam ad quinquaginta porco-
rum." Robert de Valoniis was a grandson of this Peter, and, as we learn
from the History of the Abbey of St. Alban's, possessed the family failing
of retaining what was not his own : his unjust occupation of a wood at
Northaw belonging to that abbey having given rise to a protracted suit at
law, and of an appeal to the Pope on the subject, in the early part of the
reign of Henry II., of which a particular account is given by Matthew
Paris.

Una de scolanda. The distinction here drawn between the demesne,

tenure.
Aluricus tenet unam gar am, In 1222 Gilebertus, the son of Aluricus,
held this tenement by the same service, two ploughshares (see page 93).
Gara is said to be a measure of land (see Du Cange) ; but if derived from
the Anglo-Saxon " gara," an angular point of land, it would seem to denote
the shape rather than the quantity of the ground.*

but it cannot be identified amongst the lands which were held either by the
bishop or by the canons in the Exchequer Domesday. In Book L. fol. 40,
there is a memorandum of the grant of the manor in the time of William
the Dean, which illustrates the account here given of the manor being held
" hereditarie," though it is to be remarked, that the annual rent at which it
was permanently granted, viz. 40s. fell short of the sum originally agreed
upon of 100*. The memorandum is as follows :
" Willielmus decanus et capitulum canonicorum S'c'i Pauli Lond' concedunt
Hugoni de Inga et heredibus ejus dimidium manerium de Wigeleia petente
Edgaro. Et tenebit illud jure hereditario, et reddet pro eo uno quoque anno

supradictus Hugo iij. marcas argenti de garsuma et tenebit totum Wigalea

variation in the next folio of Book L.
Manerium de Edburgeton. This manor had been granted to hold as the
foregoing : " ad firmam jure hereditario " for 50*. rent. Edburgeton (the mo-
dern Abberton near Colchester) was held by Ranulphus Piperell, or Peverell,
at the time of the Exchequer Survey. We have no notice of its conveyance
to the Chapter, except that which is contained in a sort of rescript addressed
to the Chapter by Richard de Belmeis, Bishop of London, in the year 1 108,
the first year of his consecration, which recites the grant of the manor by
Ranulphus Peverell (whose body was buried in the church), " ad usum
luminaris ecclesia?," and publishes an anathema against any persons who
should attempt to invalidate it. A copy of the document is recorded in
Book L. fol. 39 ; and also, at a later period, in the " Liber Pilosus," Book A.
fol. 23. The respective sums of 60s. and 40*. are found receivable from
Allurton and Westlee at p. 164.

Nulla ratione sustineas, &c. The advice here given that the Manor
and the Church should not be held to farm by the same person had refer-
ence purely to temporal interests. The ecclesia, with its fruits and profits,
was to be held, not for the benefit of the priest who officiated, but for the
canons amongst whom the profits were to be divided ; and the manor and
the ecclesia, or as we now call it the rectory, were to be separate, to prevent
confusion of rights, and the loss consequent upon it. A vicar was to be
employed, with the altarage only for his wages ; and, if that were not suffi-
cient, something was to be added " ad arbitrium " to make up the deficiency.
The dean and the chapter were to unite in the adjustment of the vicar's
stipend.

cxiv NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS
The churches thus enumerated were all " in dominio canonicorum."
The two following, Runwell and Chingford, are described as not being
" fundatae in dominio canonicorum."
The condition of the revenues of Runwell was remarkable. The
demesne of the canons paid to the church, instead of tithes, the produce
of two acres, one of wheat, the other of oats. Of the tithes of the villata,
great and small, the church had one third, the remaining two parts belonging
to the demesne, in order to make up the firma payable to the Chapter,
and being so appropriated " per capitulum." The rector (Persona Ra-
dulphus) rented for his personal benefit these tithes, paying for them to the
Firmarius four shillings per annum. All the tithes of the demesne, and
those which contributed to make up the firma, were in the hands of
" Magister Ricardus," by grant of Richard the Archdeacon, and the
permission of Ricardus Ruffus, the Firmarius.
The Church of Chingford was not in the demesne. The demesne lands
were free from tithe, and the villata paid great tithes only, never having
paid any other,
The Church of Magna Angra, (High Ongar,) is enumerated in the Inqui-
sition because the little manor of Norton was in that parish, and paid to
that church great and small tithes. The reason of the payment of a
" socca " of wheat, and another of oats, to the church of Fifield, ll propter
vicinitatem Christianitatis," is remarkable.
The chapel of Twyford paid \2d. to St. Paul's for the tithes of corn,
sheep, and goats. The description of this manorial chapel is worthy ob-
servation; as not being appended to any neighbouring church, and as, by
the permission of the Chapter, baptizing infants and burying the bodies of
any persons who died, not belonging to any church of the Bishop of the
diocese.
Quid solvatur capitulo. In the way of pension the churches were a
source of revenue to the Chapter. The payments were made either " per
clericos" or "per firmarium nomine ecclesise." The clericus does not seem
to have been always the " persona," or rector, but rather an agent.

It is to be remarked that the churches of Runwell and Chingford made
no similar payments to the Chapter, and that they are said not to be <( in
dominio canonicorum." The church of Kyrkebi was the only church " in
dominio " that made no such payment.
Quid ecclesice matricijure parochiali solvatur. The single instance of
such a payment is that made to the church of Fif hyde or Fifield by the
manor of Norton (see page 150), " propter vicinitatem Christianitatis," for
that proximity, of which the people of Norton availed themselves, in
frequenting the church of Fifield and partaking in religious ordinances.
Quid solvatur pro sinodalilus. This payment is distinguished from
one afterwards mentioned that to the Archdeacons. By the Canon law,
(De off. Jud. Ordin. c. Conquerente,) a Bishop holding a Synod was
entitled to receive the sum of two shillings from every person cited to it,
the payment being termed " Synodaticum ; " the object of the provision
being, as is stated by Barbosa (De Off. et Potest. Episcopi, p. 41, alleg.
130, n. 4), that of tempting the bishops to hold their synods; " Ut
episcopi ad synodum celebrandam alliciantur." The Synodalia of the
English Church appear to have a different origin, and to be connected
with the ancient system of ecclesiastical justice, which existed under the
Anglo-Saxon kings, by which ecclesiastical causes were tried in the court
of the hundred. The separation of the ecclesiastical from the secular
courts was made by the Conqueror (Carta Willielmi, Laws of England,
vol. i. p. 495) ; but the fact mentioned by Lindwood (De Constitu. c. Quia
Incontin. verb. Capitulum, p. 14), and cited by Gibson (Codex, p. 973),
that Run-decanal Chapters were in some places held from three weeks to
NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS
three weeks, according to the practice of the manorial courts, renders it
highly probable, that the ecclesiastical courts, which were formed by separa-
tion from the secular courts, continued to meet as before ; and that, as the
Turn of the sheriff or Shiremot was held twice in the year, the Synodus of
the bishop for ecclesiastical causes was held twice in the year also. The
Synodalia were payable at Easter and at Michaelmas at the first and
second synod ; but in process of time the holding these half-yearly courts
seems to have devolved upon the Archdeacons, who now in many places
hold visitations or synods at Easter and at Michaelmas in every year. It
is remarkable that Lindwood, in the passage cited above, speaks of the custom
of holding chapters from three weeks to three weeks, as resting rather upon
the Custom (or Common law) of England, than upon the Common law of
the Church at large.
Quis colligat denarium S'cti Peti'i. There can be little doubt, that
Peter-pence was a grant of Alms to the Popes in the time of the Anglo-
Saxon kings ; the earliest date assigned to it being the reign of Ina, who
became king of Wessex in 688, and after a reign of thirty-two years retired
to Rome. The payment of the denarius S. Petri, or Romfeoh, was the
subject of legislation by Edward and Guthrum (circa 900), by Edgar
(959), by Ethelred (998), by Canute (1017), by Edward the Confessor
(1043). It also forms a part of the laws of the Conqueror and of Hen. I.
(See the references, Denar. S. Petri, in Spelman's Concilia, and Romfeoh,
Laws of England.) Prior, however, to the Law of Edward the Confessor
( x) the Anglo-Saxon code affords no information as to the persons from
whom the Romfeoh was due ; but that law, as explained by the law of
William (I. xvii), acquaints us, that the possessor of agricultural stock of the
value of thirty pence,* being an Englishman, and of the value of eighty
pence (half a mark), being a Dane, was liable to Romfeoh, and that the
payment by them of one penny acquitted their bordarii, and herdsmen, and
servants. It appears also from the law of William, that a payment by
* In the Life of Offa (Matt. Paris, pp. 29, 31), it is stated that Offa's original grant
was that of one silver piece from those who possessed cattle of the value of thirty silver
pieces. It is also stated, that, when that monarch granted Peter-pence from his whole
kingdom, he reserved the Peter-pence from the lands of St. Alban to the use of the
Abbey. These lands in later times included the parishes which formed the hundred of
Cashio, and the Abbatial archdeaconry of St. Alban's, in the county of Herts.
OF THE INQUISITION OF THE CHURCHES, A.D. 1181. CXVii
the lord of a manor was an acquittance for all who were in his demesne.
The festival of St. Peter ad Vincula (August 1) was the day on which
Romfeoh was due ; and the Law of the Northumbrian Priests ( 57, Laws
of England, vol. ii. p. 299) enacted, that the payment should be made *< at
the episcopal seat, and that in every wa pen take there should be named
two true thanes and one priest, who should collect it and render it, so that
they dare swear to it."
The Inquisition of the Churches of St. Paul's, in 1181, to which our
attention is now directed, illustrates both the mode of collection and the
payment of the Romfeoh a century later than the laws above recited. The
question u quis colligat denarium S. Petri?" implies the absence of
uniformity as to the collection of the tax. In six instances no return was
made to the question ; but from the replies which are recorded we learn,
that the rural dean (decanus loci) collected it in Cadendon and Kensworth,
the Sacerdos at Belchamp and six other places, and the Firmarius at
Chingford and Sutton. Of the person, to whom the money was paid,
mention is made only in two places, Cadendon and Kensworth, where the
rural dean is said to have paid the money to the Archdeacon. The collec-
tion from Barnes, in Surrey, was paid at Wimendon ; but in two instances,
Norton and Sutton, the Firmarius, having collected the money, kept it
to himself. Twelve parishes made the following payments :

The Domesday of St. Paul's of 1222 makes no mention of Peter-pence.
But from the Inquisition of 1279, in Book I. we learn, that at Sutton, at
Chingford, and at Norton, the persons who paid the Rome-penny were
Villain tenants ; that married men paid a penny, widowers and widows one
halfpenny, and that the amount so received was reckoned among the profits
of the Manor. At Sutton these payments were due in the 18 Edw. I.
(1289), not from all the Villain tenants, but only from twenty-five of them
(I. 32 b). At Chingford the sum collected from the " Nativi" was 2s. 6d.
CXVlii NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS
(I. 59 b), and in the small manor of Norton, held by seven "Nativi," the
sum collected was Id. (I. 150 b.)
The information which we possess respecting the payment of this tax to
the Court of Rome is very meagre. Inett (History of the English Church,
p, 223), misapprehending the Statute of Carlisle of 35 Edw. I. (which pro-
hibited the superiors of the monastic orders abroad from levying taxes upon
abbeys and monasteries in England), states, but without authority, that
Peter-pence was one of the grievances of the English nation. The amount
of the tax was scarcely great enough to give it this character.
In Wilkins's Concilia (vol. ii. p. 469,) there is a papal bull of John
XXII., which first recites a bull (supposed to be of Gregory VI.,) in which
the sums payable as Peter-pence from each English diocese are recorded ;
and then states, that the three hundred mancusae or marks, which were
originally granted in 837, are just the amount of the sums due from the
dioceses. This Pope, in the first year of his pontificate, directed the atten-
tion of the English bishops to the fact, that Peter-pence, though collected,
were not duly paid to the Court of Rome, but, as is evident from the
documents recorded in Wilkins's Concilia (ib.) he did not expect a greater
sum to be paid than 300 marks. The Bulls on this subject are dated in the
month of May, 1317, and it is remarkable, that the Chapter of Canterbury,
in reply to a Breve regium of Edward II., dated 24 April of that year, had
returned answer to the king the day following, that in obedience to the
king's writ they had searched their records, and had found no writing
relative to the exaction of this tax. This pope by his Bull appointed
Rigandus de Asserio, a Canon of Orange, to superintend the business of the
collection and payment of the Peter-pence. It is probable, that during the
whole of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries persons were sent from time
to time to England on the same business, though the only person, who is
known to have resided in England as collector of the Peter-pence, was the
last, namely, Polydore Vergil, an Italian of Urbino, who lived here for forty
years, was archdeacon of Wells and prebendary of Hereford, and in the
4 Edw. VI. had leave granted to him to return to his own country, the
profits of his archdeaconry and prebend being continued to him by patent
for his life. (Strype's Memorials, vol. iii. p. 499, ed. 1822.)
Quid solvatur Archidiaconis, fyc.- The Peter-pence were, in a few
instances, paid to the archdeacons. In two parishes distinct mention is

the origin and purpose of the payment at that season we have found no

The expectation thus held out, as respects the visitation of 1 181, is unhappily
disappointed. Book L. (fol. 83 to 85) does indeed contain an account of the
ornaments and books of twenty churches in the city of London at that
period, but the folios apparently intended for the inquisition of the Country
churches are blank. It is, however, to be observed, that in the same volume
(fol. 136-143) there is a record of the visitation of these Country churches
in the year 1241, and that there is a fuller record still of another visita-
tion of them in 1279 in book I.
Servit capelltz qua est in curia, fyc. The service most probably was a
Mass ; its performance three days in the week is a curious illustration of
attention to religion in the private oratories of the lords and great men.
Chapels were of frequent occurrence in Manor houses. One at Waleton
has been already mentioned. At Sutton (I. 24) there was " Una aula cum
boteleria ad unum caput, cum parva capella ad aliud caput ;" and also
" Unum solarium cum parva capella tegulis coopertum." At Nastok
(I. 79), in like manner, there was "Una aula cum camera et capella ad
caput .... Item solarium tegulatum ad opus domini cum capella contigua
cum scindulis cooperta ;" and "Una camera cum trisantia prope capellam."
At Heybridge (I. 166), also, there was "Solarium cum capella de construc-
tione Herveii de Borham (Dean circa 1271) cum duobus caminis de plastro
Paris."

not found amongst the prebendaries of that period.
Viii. acrce de la Cnolle. Cnolie is probably the word now spelt

Belchamp mention is made of a " communa," common or open space, called
the Knoll. " Non habetur aliquid communae in villa nisi ilia strata, quse

In tempore Wulmanni, Wulman or Ulstan, as he is otherwise called,
was the first Dean of St. Paul's after the Conquest. This account of the
firma? rendered by the manors in the original MS. follows as closely as it is
here printed, and is in the same handwriting. It appears to be a transcript of
a similar account on the first folio of Book 1., there written in an earlier hand.
We have to apprise the reader that the clause ** Nastocha Aldwini duas
septimanas et duos dies," is twice repeated in the original MS., as is the
clause " Runwella duas septimanas." In both cases the copyist committed
an error in inserting Runwell twice, and in writing " Nastocha Aldwini "
instead of " Nastocha Edwini," there being two manors of that name in the
Exchequer Domesday, both of them belonging to the Chapter of St. Paul's.
The scribe has also made another error, writing (( Tillingham tres septi-
manas," instead of quatuor, as in the older document.

NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE
ARTICULI VISITATIONIS MANERIORUM S'CTI FAULT,
CIRCA 1290.
The date 1290 has been assigned to these Articles of Visitation, because
they are found recorded in Book I. immediately following the " Redditus
et Consuetudines " of the manor of Nastok, which were written subse-
quently to the feast of St. Michael, 20 Edw.L, 1291. These articles are
preceded by a Catalogue of Evidences relating to that Manor, thirty-eight
in number.
In the Statutes of the Realm (vol. I. p. 242) there is a similar set of
Articles, entitled Extenta Maneriorum," transcribed from the " Liber
Horn " now in the archives of the city of London ; and it is stated, that in
printed copies of the Statutes these articles are inserted as a statute of
4 Edw. I. Fleta (Book II. c. Ixxi.) recommends the use of such an "exten-
sion" of the particulars of a manor, and inserts Articles of inquisition, which,
with some omissions, appear to be the same with those in the " Liber
Horn." The " Extenta," or Articles, as here given from the St. Paul's
document, the first clause excepted, are more full and complete, especially
with respect to the predial services of the tenants, than they are in the
Liber Horn, or in Fleta's copy.

Vivarium. A purely Latin word, applied equally to the park, the aviary,
the fish-stew, or the oyster-bed. See Facciolati in voce.
Herbagium. The word has two meanings : the right of cutting grass
and feeding cattle, or the place where the herbage grows. It is here used
in the latter sense.
Carucata. A plough-land. We learn from Fleta (II. 72, 4,) that the
dimension of the Carucata (as denoting a quantity of land cultivated by the
plough in a year,) varied, according to the number of courses of cultivation
to which the land was subject. If the land lay in three courses, 60 acres
being sown in winter, 60 in spring, and 60 fallowed in summer, then the 180
acres so ploughed formed the Carucata ; but if the land was in two courses,
CAMD. SOC. r
Cxxii NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS
one half being fallow and the other half sown in winter and spring, then the
Carucata would contain only 160 acres. Hence it would seem, that culti-
vated land would be measured in Carucates, and any breadth of land in
general by Hides. The general idea, however, is that "Hida" and "Caru-
cata " are synonymous.*

acres are described, as contained in seven "campi," or fields, viz. Suthfild,

ing ninety, the smallest only nine acres. There was also another campus
called La Doune, of twenty-three acres and a-half. This division and
measurement were made by Fulco Lovell, a canon and archdeacon of
Colchester, ob. 1287.

should be recorded.*

Cherchesed. Churchsed (or Cyricsceat) is defined by Fleta, I. c. 45, 28,
as a certain measure of wheat, which every one offered on St. Martin's day to
the Church, it being not only an English, but a British custom. Sir H. Ellis,
in his Introduction to Domesday, has noticed the various passages in that
record, in which mention is made of this payment, and from which it
appears, that the annual payment of corn in kind had been commuted in
various places for money. The law of Hen. I. (xi. 4) recognises Cyricsceat,
as a payment due at Martinmas to the Bishop, under the ancient penalty
mentioned in the Domesday of Worcester (fol. 174), of a fine of eleven
times the amount, if the Cyricsceat were not paid on the day. Sir H. Ellis
also brings to notice a payment made to the manor of Glastonbury in 1201
of sixty hens as Churchset. The records of St. Paul's do not throw any
light upon this custom, but the instances which occur in the Inquisition of
the county of Oxford, 7 Edw. I. (Rot. Hundr. vol. II. p. 688,) of cocks and
hens paid to the lord of the manor of Iftlee by Cotarii (p. 712), by Servi at
Sunecumbe (757), by the tenants denominated Carucarii " at Wytchurch
(776), by Servi custumarii at Stoke Bassett (779), by Villani at Lewknor
of a quarter of wheat (782), and at Wallington by tenants of the same class
of six bushels of wheat, seem to shew, not only that Cyricsceat was a tax
then borne by the lower orders of tenants, but also that at the close of
the thirteenth century the lords of manors had converted to their own
use the payments anciently due to the Church. Had not the pope
appointed his collectors, Kompeny might probably have shared the same
fate.
Galunselver. Quaere, Gallinaselver, money in lieu of fowls.
Calces. " Calces " are " Causeways." As connected with the care
of sheep in marsh land, they were probably pathways of hard material.
OF THE INQUISITION OF THE MANORS, A.D. 1290. CXXV
Balneum prceparando. See note, p. 90, Quarta pars plumbi
Page 155. Quantum dab it pro suafilia maritanda. The marriage of
the daughters of the nativi or serfs, by removing the population from the
manor, was a loss to the lord, This appears to be the foundation of the
well-known payment termed " merchetum." At Belchamp (I. 106) we
read, " Nullus custumarius extra villam suam filiam sine licentia maritabit.
Custumarius filiam custumarii sine licentia domini accipiat in conjugem in
villa. Sed custumarius maritabit filiam suam liberis in villa, non extra,
sine licentia." At Sandon (I. 145) we read, l( Custumarii item dicunt,
quod pro filiabus suis maritandis consueverunt solvere domino ij. solidos
tantum." At Wicham (I. 97), " Omnes tenentes facient finem ad volun-
tatem domini pro filiabus suis extra manerium maritandis."
Page 155*. Qui possunt talliari ad voluntatem domini et qui non.
Taille, Tallagium, that which is paid as a tax or excise. Any public tax was
termed Tallagium, as we learn from the statute of 25 Edw. I. " Nullum
tallagium vel auxilium per nos vel per haeredes nostros in regno ponetur vel
leveter sine voluntate et consensu," &c. The taillage to which this article
of Inquisition refers, was that which any lord of a manor might impose upon
his tenants, and, as may be gathered from the wider terms in which the
article is set forth in Fleta (II. c. 71, 15), was limited by the rank of the
tenant, whether " custumarius " or " nativus." The tenement of the cus-
tomary tenant might be liable to yearly taillage, but the amount was such
as could be paid " sine destructione et exilio (qu. exitio) faciendo ;" but
there was no limit to the demand, which the lord might make upon the
servus or nativus, or upon him who, holding, according to Bracton, in pure
villenage (IV. c. 28, 5), was bound to unlimited service, " semper
tenebitur ad incerta," and could be taxed at the will of the lord, either
more or less, or, according to the terms of the French Chartse, "alto et
basso." Whether the lords of manors were accustomed to exercise this
right of taillage without restriction, is questionable, but there is every reason
to believe, that the right of taillage upon the tenants gave the lord the
power of throwing the burden of any public taxation upon the cultivator
of the soil, and that taillage operated in favour of the lord, like the cove-
nants in modern leases by which the tenant engages to meet the taxation.
The following extracts from the Rotuli Hundredorum, Com. Oxon. 7
Edw. I are a few of numerous instances of the right of taillage upon tenants
of different ranks :

Page 157. Arbor es in haiciis suis extirpaverunt sine licencia. Hedge-
row-timber was forbidden to be cut down by the tenant, as in modern
leases. In the manor of Belchamp (I. 107) there was a custom, which
permitted all the tenants, free and custumary, to plant trees before their
own doors in the street upon their own land, and to cut at all times three
kinds of trees, poplar, willow, and another kind of poplar called " abellum,"
but not oak or beech, except for housebote and heybote.
An nativi vendiderint vitulum, pullanum, vel bovem, de propria nutri-

hibit generally the sale of animals bred by the tenants, but only gave to
the lord the pre-option of purchase, for we read amongst the customs
of Belchamp (I. 106 b ), " Licitum sit custumariis equos et boves et omnia
alia animalia vendere sine licencia firmarii, nisi velit tantum dare sicuti
et aliis." In some places a toll was taken by the lord upon these sales.

of the manor to have timber for the " bote " or repair of the buildings,

in distinct terms in the later leases. The right to housebote and heybote was,
however, possessed occasionally by other tenants. In the manor of Newinton,

virgate of land and performing certain services, were entitled to husbote et

OF THE COMPOTUS MANERIORUM OF ST. PAUL'S. CXXVli
COMPOTUS MANERIORUM ET FIRMARUM.
This compotus is extracted from a large volume, having on the outside
the title " Statuta Majora," under a covering of transparent horn, the volume
being so styled as distinguished from the " Statuta Minora," a smaller
volume of nearly the same contents, but written in a much smaller hand.
The writing of the Statuta Majora is of the early part of the fourteenth
century. The chief value of this Compotus, as connected with this work,
consists in its exhibiting the order and amount of the firmae paid by the
different manors; as the Compotus Bracini, which follows, explains the
method in which the grain delivered with the firmae was converted into
bread and beer, and distributed to the members of the cathedral.
Page 154. Ad denas et ad denum denarium. It has been before
observed (Introd. p. xlvii.) that the meaning of these words is doubtful.
Possibly the denus denarius may be the seven pence per week, or penny
per day, in some way a tenth penny or tithe, which was paid to the almoner
of the cathedral, and denas may be a form of dizenas, quasi dies-enas ;
but all that we know certainly of the dizenae is, that they were money
payments, made in each of the fifty-two weeks of the year, by each manor in
turn (on fifty-two consecutive Sundays, commencing with the Festival of St.
Faith, October 6), and that the amount from the different manors varied,
the lowest amount as dizenae being forty, the highest sixty shillings.
Page 1 55. Ad defectum bracini. The meaning of this phrase may be
deduced from observing, that the manors which made these payments, were
those of Belchamp, Runwell, and Norton, which in the time of Wulmar the
dean (see p. 152) provided firmae in produce, viz. Runwell for two weeks,
Norton for one, and Belchamp for eight ; but since in later times Runwell
and Norton furnished no firma in kind, and Belchamp only six firmae in
kind in place of eight, it may be concluded, that the payments stated to be
" ad defectum " were money payments in lieu of the deficient firmae in kind.
Ad supplementum. This payment being generally 6*. Sd appears to be
the same with that mentioned in page 160 as the 6s. 8d., which was paid
with every firma for the supply of wood. In page 165 we read, that it was
CXXviii NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS
the custom of the firmarius to give with every firma half a mark for wood,
often more, rarely less, <* saepius vero plus, minus vero raro ;" and from
what is also there said of the firmarius paying a fine to the keeper of the
brewery, and of the payment depending on the price of wood, it would
seem, that this payment at last became fixed in amount, and was a com-
mutation for some definite quantity of fuel.
Page 158. Firma prima de Barling. The " dizena" and the " firma"
from each manor were not paid on the same, but consecutive Sundays. On
the first Sunday after the Festival of St. Faith the Church received a dizena
from Belchamp and a firma from Barling, on the second Sunday a dizena
from Barling and a firma from Sandon, and so on. It is to be remarked,
that the number of firmaB, that is, of payments in kind, was forty-five, but
the number of Sundays in the compotus at pages 158 and 159 is forty-
eight, there being three Sundays, on which what is termed a u defectus "
was paid by three manors in lieu of produce in kind. Money payments
were made every Sunday in the year, but the delivery of corn was dis-
continued during the harvest month of September.
Page 160. Per mensuram. regis xvj. quarteria, fyc. The amendment
of weights and measures was one of the articles demanded by the Barons,
and conceded in the Magna Charta of King John, and, as respects the
measure of corn, the Magna Charta of 25 Ed. I. declared, that the Quarter
of London should be used throughout the realm. In the " Assisa de
Mensuris " (incerti temporis), that Quarter is said to contain eight bushels,
and in the " Statutum de Pistoribus " mention is made of the standard
bushel, sealed with an iron seal of our Lord the King, and denominated the
King's measure. The statutes of Edward III. (which are all of them later
than the Compotus Maneriorum of St. Paul's now under our consideration),
attest the difficulty which then existed, and which at the distance of 500
years still exists, of enforcing an uniform measure. It would seem that the
King's mandate, though, as asserted in 14 Edw. III. (1340), not then
obeyed throughout the kingdom, was put in force at St. Paul's at an earlier
period, as early as 1283, the Compotus Bracini of that year (see p. 164)
stating that the firmae were in Quarters of eight bushels, " ad mensuram
regis."-
Ad bracinum, ad earner am. The payments " ad bracinum " were
received by the Custos bracini, who rendered an account of the receipts and

expenditure of the brewery, which included the bakehouse and the mill.
The payments "ad cameram" were made to the Camerarius or Chamberlain,
whose duty it was to provide all things required for divine service, to collect
payments, and to pay the proper stipends at the appointed seasons. A
member of the Chapter was appointed for this duty. (See Appendix to
Dugdale's St. Paul's, p, 51.) The Camerarius was the receiver and pay-
master of rents and stipends, but the Thesaurarius of the cathedral was the
keeper, not of its money, but of its treasures, such as plate, vestments,
books, ornaments, relics, &c. being assisted in this charge by the Sacristan
and the Vergers. The value of these treasures was such as would bear
comparison with the value of Crown jewels.
Page 164*. Hcec sunt duodecim maneria, fyc. This account of the
" firmoe " rendered by the manors of St. Paul's occupies the first folio of
Book I., and precedes the account of Thomas Couling, the Gustos bracini in
1283. It is here inserted, as being the first document in order of time, in
which the quantities of grain contained in each firma are stated ; the accounts,
which are prior to it, enumerating the firmae only by weeks and days (as in
p. 152), or by the whole number provided by each manor in the year, as in
the inquisition of 1181 (p. J40 145). In this document the measurement
of the grain, and the number of quarters in each firma, was according to an
older standard, and not according to the King's measure. Each firma, as
anciently delivered, contained 18J quarters of wheat (15 of which were for
bread and 3J for beer), but afterwards 16 quarters ; anciently 3J quarters
of barley, but afterwards 3 quarters. The quantities, however, of the
wheat and the barley were not really different, the firma at both periods
containing as nearly as possible the same number of bushels, 18J qrs. at 7
bushels, the " mensura bracini," and 16 qrs. at 8 bushels, the King's mea-
sure, being in the proportion of 129-5 : 128.
Ad Grudum. According to Du Cange, "grudum " is barley prepared for
making beer ; but wheat being here given " ad grudum " would shew, that
the word is applicable to any kind of grist or meal. The St. Paul's beer
was brewed from a mixture of wheat, barley, and oats.
Ad mensuram villce. This measure is probably that of the Country. It
is to be remarked that if 15 qrs. at 7 bhls. to the quarter, equal, as here
stated, 12. | qrs. of the Country measure ; it follows, that the Country

CXXX NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS
bushel was larger than the Town bushel, and that the proportion of the
Country to the Town bushel was as 8J- : 7.
Page 164*. Per factum bracini. Factus, which is defined in Du Cange
" a measure of land," was used by the Roman writers " de Re Rustica" as a
measure in the manufacture of oil. (See Facciolati in voce.) It seems,
therefore, to be of different origin from the Anglo-Saxon fget or vat. Of the
dimensions of this " factus bracini " at St. Paul's we have here a clear ac-
count. The 16 qrs. of oats were to be paid in eight "facti," each containing
17 ordinary bushels; the quarter by this measurement being 8^ bhls. In
1283 this measurement of oats appears to have been no longer in use ; H
would not, however, have been surprising if it had continued to a much
later period, since we find the Legislature in 1351, 25 Edw. III., whilst it
enacted uniformity of measures, exempting the rents and firmse of lords
from the operation of the Act, and declaring that they shall " be measured
by such measures as they were wont in times past."
Page 165*. Consuevitfirmariux pro buscha dare dimidiam marcam.
We need not be surprised, that so large a sum should be paid for wood
with each firma, when we bear in mind, that the quantity of fuel required
was that, which would bake and brew a quantity of grain as great as 35 qrs.
or 280 bhls.
Page 164. Et de xxuij. (Lege xxxiiij.) quart, de multura molcndini.
The mill of St. Paul's was probably a convenience to the citizens for
grinding their corn ; but, without knowing the amount of toll, we cannot
ascertain, how much corn was ground in the year to produce in the way of
toll this number of quarters. In 1286 the * Telonium molendini" produced
the same amount (see p. 172).

in addition to this, the sum of five marks was expended. Upon these
occasions the bakers received eight bollae or gallons of beer.
In wastell. Wastel bread was the best kind of wheaten bread, as appears
from the Assisa panis et cervisiae (Stat. of Realm, f. 199), and also from
the fact, that at St. Paul's it was baked only for particular occasions, such
as the Festivals of St. Paul and the Rogation days, when the Canons had
three wastel loaves a-day, and other members of the church in proportion.
The extravagance of the Prioress in the care of her dogs is thus indicated
in Chaucer's Prologue :

supra mensuram additum est," i. e. the handful or shovelful thrown in
after the measure is filled. In the Statutum de Pistoribus we read, " toll
shall be taken by the rase and not by the heap or cantel," and " no manner
of grain shall be sold by the heap or cantel except it be oats, malt, and
meal." It is remarkable, that the excess of measure here spoken of, as
amounting to twenty quarters, was derived from the remeasuring 720 qrs.
of oats, which produced 740.

De carbone pistrini, et bracini The wood-ashes and charcoal produced
in the bake-house and brew-house; Du Cange, in voce " Carbonaria,"
quotes the following passage from " Auctor Queroli." " Ego jamdudum
apud carbonarias agere te putabam, tu de pistrinis venis ; " from which we
learn, that the baker might sometimes be as blackened with charcoal, as the
charcoal-burner himself.
NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS
Pro sequestra unius tallies. The account of the delivery of bread and
beer to any party was probably kept by a tally, consisting of two pieces of
thin wood, hence the whole of the allowance was termed " tallia." In the
case of absence or vacancy, the allowance due to the member was probably
sequestered, in order to the rendering an account to the party interested.
PitancifE. Allowances occasionally distributed were termed " Pittances,"
and the officer deputed to distribute them was termed " Pitanciarius." At
Thorney Abbey the " Pietanciarius " possessed several ;< cotagia" attached
to his office. (Rot. Hundred, II. p. 641.) According to Du Cange, the
proper form of the word is not Pietantia, but " Pictantia," meaning an
allowance of small value, that of a " Picta," or " Pite," which was the
smallest coin of the Counts of Poitou. Pite, a copper coin, the farthing, or
fourth of a penny. (Dictionnaire de 1' Academic.)
In buscha ad toraUe. Wood for the malt-kiln. " Torrale " is the cor-
rect form of the word, from the Latin " Torreo."
In aqua ducenda. Whence the water was drawn for the use of the
brewery of St. Paul's, whether from a well or from the river, does not
appear. At p 171 mention is made of the water-drawer, aquseductor, as
entitled to pitances. The sum here mentioned as paid annually, fifty-three
shillings and four pence, was the full amount of the wages of the " duo

per week.

kind, Cocket of two kinds, Simnel, and Treet. The bread of the least value

It would seem, that in this year the whole of the firmse from the manors
were received, and distributed not in kind, but in money. The price of
wheat here recorded, as compared with that of our own times, being taken
as a standard of the value of money, would lead to the conclusion that
money was then fifteen times more valuable than at present. The 267/.

In the parish of St. Michael le Querne, near the west end of Cheapside,

Prtebenda. Comparing the measure here given of the praebenda, as
containing thirty bollae, with what is stated of the price paid for seven
praebenda of beer at p. 167, we learn that the bolla and the lagena, or gallon,
were the same measure.

CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONS.
Page 96. Alebedrlp. In place of the note, Alebedrip, at page Ixxxiv
the reader will be pleased to read as follows :
The Latin form of alebedrip is " precaria cervisia?," i.e. a boon day with
ale ; metebedrip being a " precaria carnis," or boon day with meat. It is
to be observed that a custom, to which the term precaria or boon day of
brewing, might to a certain degree be applied, existed at Saundon, where the
Akerlings lent their utensils, when required for the lord's brewing : (I. 143,)
" Item si dominus habuerit (necesse), quando braciabit de utensilibus, de
utensilibus debet quilibet eorum mittere de mutuo unum gate" The custu-
marii also on the same manor lent their vats for brewing at Christmas and
at ploughing times : (I. 142,) " Item si dominus necesse habuerit, quilibet
eorum debet quotiens dominus braciabit ad Natale Domini, et ad precarias
carucarum, accommodare domino unum Vat." (I. 138,) " Inveniet unam
comianam (?) ad braciandum contra Natale Domini et contra precarias caru-
carum."
Page 75. Cop 'onos fustium. In Fleta (II. c. 41) there is a very inte-
resting document containing the Articles of Inquisition relative to the
Royal Forests. In the 24th article we find the following clause, " Quis
habuerit conperones, ceppagia et escheatas quercuum et aliorum arborum."
The text of Fleta is so evidently corrupt, that no apology is necessary for
the conjecture, that for cowperones we should read cowperones, and derive
the word from the French couper, to cut.
Page 123. Contra castella. In searching for the meaning of this term,
and in considering whether the Chapter might not have become amenable

is mentioned in the laws of H. I. amongst the <( Placita quae mittunt hominem

in misericordia regis," the terms in which this offence is described, and the
comments of various authors upon it, came under notice. In the Laws of
England (p. 518) we read, " castellacio trium scannorum." In Spelman
(page 128) and in Wilkins's Leges H. I. 242, " castellatio trium stannorum,"
and in Du Cange (in voce) * castellatio trium annorum." Spelman pro-
nounced the passage corrupt and obscure. The later reading, however,
" scannorum," affords a clue to the meaning of the words and the nature
of the offence, if it be accepted as a form of " scamnorum." In the
language of Pliny and Columella the ridges formed by the plough are
" scamna," and upon a greater scale three banks, or tiers of earth, might
be termed scamna, or benches and the surrounding a house with three
such banks would make it a strong fortification, and thus be an offence
against royal prerogative. There is a manor-house near Southend, in Essex,
the moat of which appeared to one who lately visited it, to be surrounded
by three banks, and to be an example of the " castellatio trium scannorum/'

" Willielmus Marescallus tenet xviij. acras terrae arabilis de Decano et
Capitulo v'l (videlicet) per cartam Rotulacom Domesday, quia ilia terra fuit
nativa, et reddit domino unam marcam ad festum S'ci Michaelis et ad
Pascha pro equali portione, et faciet sectam curie de tribus septimanis in
tres septimanas, et dabit relevium."
"Galfridus Capellanus tenet quinque acras terras, et unam parvam domum,
videlicet per cartam, et domum per Rotulum Domesday, et reddit xv d. &c."
" Dominus Vicarius de Sandone tenet unam acram per Domesday, et

CXXXV11
Denarius S'ci Petri. In the account of Rome penny, (page cxvi.,) we
have omitted to state, that in the Act of Surrender of the Kingdom made
by King John to the Pope, the right of the Pope to this revenue was
reserved (salvis per omnia denariis Petri), in addition to the annual payment
of 1 ,000 marks to be made by the King, " pro omni servitio et consue-
tudine," as the Pope's feudatory. There is also a remarkable letter of the
same Pope (Innocent III.) addressed to his Legate Nicholas and to Pan-
dulfus (in whose presence the King had made his submission, and taken the
oath of homage to the Pope), complaining, that the English Bishops,
though they had collected Peter pence, had paid to him not more than
300 marks, and had taken a thousand or more to their own use. (Rymer's
Foedera, vol. I. p. 176, 182.)

ITEM DE ARDELEIA.
Hsec est conventio inter canonicos sci Pauli et magistrum Albe-
ricum . Concedunt ei manerium suum Ardeleiam de se tenendam
tota vita sua, quam diu eis inde bene servierit. Reddendo eis
singulis annis quatuor firmas in pane et cervisia, et constanciis
pistrini et bracini, et in elemosina. Et in unaquaque illarum
ebdomadarum xl. sol'. Quando autem recepit manerium hsec
fuerunt ibi edificia, quse cum manerio reddet . Scilicet una aula,
et una camera appendicia, et una coquina, et unum stabulum, et
i pistrinum, et due grangie, una ad curiam, altera ad berwicam, et
DURING THE TWELFTH CENTURY. 137
una domus servientium. In aula fuerunt duo bancha torna-
tilia, et una mensa dormiens, et unum buffeth ; fuerunt etiam ibi
v. tunelle et vi. cuve, et unum plumbum, et una manualis mola,
et vii. alvei, et due arche, et una scala alta, et due vanni, et due
corbille, et unum ventorium, et xx. scutelle, et iv. sciphi et due
tine, et iii. carri, et due rote unius carecte. Grangia que est in
curia habet in longitudine quater xx. pedes, in latitudine xl. pedes,
in altitudine sub trabibus xix. pedes, super trabem usque ad festum
x. pedes. Inculatio hujus grangie fuit tune unus tassus de duabus
partibus frumenti, et tercia parte de mancorn, habens in longitu-
dine subtus ad terram xix. pedes, in latitudine xl. pedes, in alti-
tudine xii. pedes et dimidium. In altero culatio fuit unus tassus
avene babens in longitudine xix. pedes, in latitudine xxx. pedes,

fuit plena feni. In ala aquilonari contra hostium fuit unus tassus
ordei habens in longitudine xv. pedes, in latitudine x. pedes, in
altitudine vii. pedes et dimidium, et juxta ilium tassum fuit alter
tassus de mancorn ejusdem mensure. Aiterum orreum scilicet
orreum de berewica habet in longitudine Iviii. pedes, in latitudine
xxxii. pedes, in altitudine xxv. pedes. Culacium hujus orrei in
parte aquilonis fuit plenum frumento usque ad duos primos postes,
nisi quantum due carrate feni occupant. Culacium autem australe
fuit plenum avene usque ad hostium, nisi quod in summitate hujus
avene fuit vacuum in longitudine xiii. pedum, et in altitudine
ix. pedum. Hec mensuratio bladi facta est in festivitate sancte
Katerine quando jam in Ardeleia cxvi. acre de frumento manerii
erant seminate, et quando jam una firma de blado manerii fuit

denarios solutos pro defaltis maneriorum reddunt firmarii denarios
pro buscha, quam invenire debent ad braciandum firmam suam
assignatam ad cerviciam, quorum summa est incerta; quia aliquando
dant plus, aliquando minus, secundum caristiam buschse, secundum
quod possunt facere finem cum custode, alioquin buscham in-
venient. Consuevit autem firmarius pro buscha invenienda pro
qualibet firma dare dimidiarn marcum, sepius vero plus, minus vero
raro.
