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

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 


PREFACE.  iX' 

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 


PREFACE.  xiii 

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, 
maneriorum,  ornamentorum,  et  omnium  existentium  in 
thesauraria,  et  omnium  Cantarioruni  et  Altarium,  signati 
cum  litera  I.  2°  folio  '  quarterio  Arch.'  "  The  Editor  has 
availed  himself  of  his  reading  in  this  book  to  illustrate 
the  Domesday  of  1222.  The  only  parts  of  it,  which  are 


XVI  PREFACE. 


printed  in  this  collection,  are  the  "  Redditus  Firmarum 
et  Compotus  Bracini,"  and  the  "  Articuli  Visitationis 
Maneriorum,  circa  1290."  The  contents  of  the  whole 
volume  are  various  and  interesting.

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,0  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  Domesdaya  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

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.

"  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,

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- 
fendebat  se  tempore  Regis  Henrici  et  Willielmi  decani  pro  x.  hidis  versus 
regem,  et  reddebat  vicecomiti  xx,  s.,  et  adhuc  ita  est.  Canonicis  vero  reddit

older  inquisition  of  this  manor  of  Kensworth  we  drew  attention  to  the  term 
"  valet,"  and  pointed  out  some  of  the  reasons  for  interpreting  the  term  as 
meaning  only  annual  value,  so,  with  reference  to  the  term  "  Summa  denari-

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.

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. 

1.  Libere  tenentes.  2.  Tenentes  antiquum  tenementum.  3.  Tenentes 
de  purpresturis.  4.  Tenentes  sexacras.  5.  Tenentes  dimidias  virgatas. 
6.  Tenentes  Lodland.  7.  Tenentes  de  dominico.  8.  Tenentes  de  do-

18.  Akermanni.  19.  Cotarii.  Tbe  ancient  names,  tbat  of  tbe  Cotarii 
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  Radchen1,  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-

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-

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

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,

tents is  given  in  Dean  Lyseux's  Catalogue,  A.D.  1447,  there  was  this  entry  : — '« Item

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.

*  The  manor  of  Navestock  is  so  divided  in  the  Exchequer  Domesday.     In  the  reign 
of  Henry  T.  the  division  had  ceased.     See  the  Inquisition  of  Nastock,  p.  144. 


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

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.

"  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 —

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  ;

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 —

At  each  brewing  there  was  used — of  wheat  one  quarter  and  a  half  and

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

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.

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

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

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.

ST.  PAUL'S  DOMESDAY,  A.  D.  1222. 


Page  1.  Inquisitiofacta. — Nomina  Juratorum. — The  power  of  impanel- 
ling a  jury,  and  exhibiting  to  them  interrogatories  relative  to  the  condition  of  a 
manor  in  every  particular,  appears  to  have  belonged  of  right  to  every  lord 
of  a  manor.  See  Fleta,  ii.  71,  sec.  3.  The  Articles  of  Inquisition,  upon  which 
the  Domesday  of  St.  Paul's,  of  Ralph  de  Diceto,  in  1181,  was  founded, 
are  recorded  at  p.  112  of  this  volume;  those  used  at  a  later  period 
are  given  at  length,  pp.  150-160,  and  are  found  to  agree  in  their  general 
character  with  the  "  Extenta  Maneriorum "  in  the  Statutes  of  the  Realm 
(vol.  i.  p.  292)  ;  and  also  with  the  Articles  of  Inquisition  upon  which  the 
returns  were  made  in  the  7  and  8  Edw.  I.  of  the  condition  of  the  manors 
in  five  counties,  Bedford,  Buckingham,  Cambridge,  Huntingdon,  and 
Oxford,  and  which  form  the  latter  part  of  vol.  ii.  of  the  Rotuli  Hun- 
dredorum. 

Willielmo  de  Hely  existente  Jirmario.  This  person  was  Canon  of  St. 
Paul's,  and  is  subsequently  mentioned  as  Willielmus  Thesaurarius ;  that 
title,  however,  belonged  to  him  as  Treasurer,  not  of  the  Cathedral,  but  of 
the  King,  which  office  he  held  until  his  death  in  1223. — Newcourt's  Reper- 
torium,  vol.  i.  p.  130. 

Hida. — The  hide  generally  contained  120  acres,  i  e.  four  virgates  or  yard- 
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 


NOTES  AND  ILLUSTRATIONS.  Ixiii 

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. 
Rot.  Hundred,  vol.  ii.  p.  407. 

Essarta. — Lands  reclaimed  from  the  Forest  or  Common.  The  etymology 
of  the  word  is  doubtful.  It  appears  from  the  "  Extenta  Maneriorum " 
(Statutes  of  the  Realm,  vol.  i.  p.  242),  that  the  lord  of  a  manor  might  have 
parks  and  demesne  woods,  which  he  could  at  pleasure  plough  up  and  cul-

letter  I.  now  remaining  in  the  Archives  of  the  Cathedral,  which  contains  the  Survey  or 
Inquisition  of  the  Manors  made  by  Dean  Baudake,  and  which  will  be  frequently  men- 
tioned as  the  Inquisition  of  A.D.  1279.

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. 

Secta  Comitatus  et  Hundredi. — We  learn  from  Fleta,  ii.  c.  66,  that 

*  In  the  proceedings  upon  a  Placitum  de  quo  Warranto  in  the  time  of  Edward  III. 
against  the  two  prebendaries  of  Cadington,  a  charter  of  Edward  II.  was  produced 
reciting  and  confirming  a  charter  of  the  Conqueror  which  gave  to  the  church  of 
St.  Paul's  the  fullest  rights  in  all  their  lands. — Placita  de  Warranto,  pages  40,  41. 


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  "

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

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.

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.)

vol.  i.  p.  132.)

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 
ecclesia  (Kensworth)  unam  virgatam  terras  liberam  ab  omni  sseculari 
officio."

Mansium  eat  in  dominio,  §c. — The  dwelling-house  attached  to  the  land 
being  in  the  demesne,  and  probably  not  occupied  by  the  tenants,  an  agree- 
ment had  been  made  with  the  Firmarius,  by  which  they  were  allowed  the 
reduction  of  rent  here  spoken  of  under  the  term  t(  excidunt  duos  denarios."

"  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 
of  the  lord.

service.

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. 

De  Rifflei  et  Virgis.— Reffletum,  Refletum,  Reflectum.  (Du  Cange.) 
Vesturse  boscorum  et  reflectorum.  (Flet^  II.  41,  §  38.)  The  meaning  of 
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."

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. 

Page  33.  Precaria  qua  dicitur  ben. — "  Item  inveniet  unum  hominem 
ad  viii.  benes  in  autumno  ad  cibum  domini."  (I.  98  b.) 

Gavelsed. — Otherwise  termed  Gavelcorn.  In  1279,  from  every  half- 
virgate  one  heaped  bushel  of  wheat  was  due  under  the  denomination  of 
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."

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."

Forland. — Inland  and  Forland  would  seem  to  be  terms  opposed  to  each 
other.  On  referring  to  the  Inquisition  of  1279  (I.  99)  it  appears  that 
the  tenants  here  described  as  holding  Forland  are  there  said  to  hold 
Mollond,  In  the  Rot.  Hundred.  (II.  p.  425)  mention  is  made  of  customary 
tenants  at  Campes,  in  the  county  of  Cambridge,  holding  Mollond.  Land  of

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.

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.

Mairenum. — Timber  of  any  kind.  Du  Cange  supposes  the  word  to  be 
a  corrupt  form  of  "  materiamen ;"  but  if  chestnut  wood  was  chiefly  used,  it 
is  possible,  that  the  root  of  the  word  may  be  "  Marron."  Oak  wood  cut

land. The  land  here  mentioned  as  capable  of  maintaining  400  sheep,  and

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.

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.

hedge  or  ditch. 

Boscus  non  vestitus. — In  I.  84  b,  the  wood  here  termed  Boscus  non 
vestitus  is  called  "  Bruera/'  a  word  which  denotes  land  covered  with 
heather.  (Du  Cange.)  The  woods  here  said  to  contain  .xv.  and  .xl.  acres

sending  the  ship  with  the  firma  for  St.  Paul's,  and  of  repairing  the  mill-dam. 
We  learn  from  I.  89,  that  the  sum  received  in  1279,  under  the  name  of 
schepselver,  as  a  commutation  of  the  service  of  carrying  the  firmae  to 
London,]  was  24s.,  paid  in  equal  portions  of  8s.  at  three  periods  of  the  year,

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.

was  in  1279  held  by  Johannes  rt  Faber,"  or  Smith.  In  I.  86  b.  this  service 
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.

was  lost,  but  any  one  escaped,  the  tenants  bore  the  loss  of  the  cargo,  and 
were  answerable  for  the  firmae.  The  value  of  the  carriage  of  four  firmae  to 
London  was  estimated  at  \l.  6s,  8d.

Reddunt  istce  duce  hides,  $c. — In  the  year  1236,  19  Henry  III.  the 
Chapter  had  a  renewed  grant  of  this  Manor  from  the  Crown,  which  exempted 
them  from  suit  at  the  county  and  hundred  court,  from  payment  of  Ward- 
penny,  Hundredpenny,  Tithingpenny,  and  view  of  Francplege,  and  confirmed 
to  them  Saca  et  Soca,  &c.  (I.  163.)

giare,  debet  desiccare  xx  partitos,  et  si  cum  caruca  ad  waterfurgiandum 
(sic)  tune  debet  desiccare  x.  partitos."  The  partiti  appear  to  be  the 
selliones,  and  ten  openings  with  the  plough  were  accounted  equal  to  twenty 
made  by  the  spade.

Rotuli  Hundred,  p.  868,  "arabit  duos  seliones,  qui  vocantur  grasacre," 
that  the  Grasacre  consisted  of  two  strips  or  ridges,  called  "  Balks."

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  xxxd  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, 
109  b,  143  b  ;  Britton,  ch.  2,  De  Eyres.) 

Page  78.  Prcepositus  hundredi. — The  steward  of  the  hundred  of  Angra. 
The  Baro  described  in  the  next  page  as  holding  the  hundred  pro  tempore 
appears  to  be  a  person  of  a  different  rank. 

Page  74.  Coperonos  fustium. — The  loppings  of  the  trees  felled  for 
timber.  Cuperia. — Arborum  extremitates.  Fustis. — Arbor  justse  magni- 
tudinis.  (Du  Cange.) 

Hidce  computabiles  sicut  olim. — In  this  Manor  the  Hide  contained  140 
or  seven  score  acres,  and  the  Virgate  twenty.  (See  page  81.) 

Acra  de  genesteio. — Genista.  Broom.  At  Havering,  which  is  in  the 
neighbourhood  of  Nastok,  the  Foresters  exacted  toll  (Cheminagium)  from 
the  men  of  the  hundred,  tarn  de  genetto  viridi  quam  sicco.  (Rot.  Hund. 
vol.  i.  p.  152.)  The  Genectum  was  sometimes  tithable.  (Du  Cange  in 
voce  Genectum.) 

Page  75.  Porcos  in  pessona. — Pessona,  Pastio.  Du  Cange.  Herbage, 
acorns,  nuts,  or  anything  which  might  be  eaten,  is  included  under  the  term 
«  pessona."  Bracton,  f.  222  b. 

In  Foresteria  Bosci  clamat  hereditatem. — This  claim  was  not  unusual 
(compare  p.  98),  the  perquisites  of  the  office  being,  as  appears,  a  source 
of  profit. 

Page  76.  Curia  habet  foregrist  sed  dat  molturam. — The  meaning  of 
the  term  foregrist  has  not  been  ascertained.  It  may  probably  be  the

Tolnetum  ad  Molendinum,  which  forms  the  subject  of  enactment  in 
the  Statutum  de  Pistoribus.  Statutes  of  the  Realm,  vol.  i.  p.  203. 
il  The  toll  of  a  mill  shall  be  taken  according  to  the  custom  of  the 
land,  and  according  to  the  strength  of  the  water-course,  either  to  the 
twentieth  or  four-and -twentieth  corn.  And  the  measure  whereby  the 
toll  must  be  taken  shall  be  agreeable  to  the  King's  measure,  and  toll 
shall  be  taken  by  the  rase,  and  not  by  the  heap  or  cantel.  And  in  case 
that  the  firmarii  find  the  millers  their  necessaries,  they  shall  take  nothing 
besides  their  due  toll ;  and  if  they  do  otherwise  they  shall  be  grievously 
punished." 

Mina  Avence. — The  Mina  was  a  measure  which  contained  four  and  a 
half  bushels  (I.  71.)  This  payment  was  sometimes  termed  Foddercorn. 

Page  77.  Regardum. — The  Survey,  or  Visitation  of  a  Forest. 

Page  79.  Bruera. — Probably  "  brushwood."  In  Bracton,  L.  iv.  c.  38, 
we  find  mention  of  "  Jus  falcandi  herbam  vel  Brueram  vel  hujusmodi  ad 
rationabile  estoverium." 

Page  80.  Parva  Pertica.  The  ordinary  perch  appears  to  have  been 
16J,  and  the  greater  perch  24  (see  page  92).  The  lesser  perch  was 
probably  that  of  ten  or  of  twelve  feet.  (See  Du  Cange.) 

Page  81.  Havedsot. — Head  money,  otherwise  termed  Chevagium.  At 
page  83  a  particular  account  is  given  of  this  payment.  Single  persons 
paid  a  penny.  Married  persons  two  pence.  It  was  paid  at  Whitsuntide. 
These  persons  were  Nativi.  But  the  payment  gave  them  the  privilege  of 
going  out  of  the  Manor,  "  habent  exitum  "  (see  Introduction,  p.  xxiv),  and 
they  had  the  right  of  wood  and  water  on  the  demesne. 

Falcabit  dimidiam  acram  et  venit  ad  Bedemad. — Bedmath  is  the 
service  of  Haymaking.  It  is  fully  described  in  I.  70,  where  the  service  of 
mowing  the  halfacre  here  mentioned  has  the  distinguishing  name,  Bed- 
halfaker.  Twenty-six  mowers  and  eight  haymakers  were  entitled  for  this 
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. 

Page  82.  Respectus. — Mora,  dilatio,  continuatio  temporis — an  adjourn- 
ment to  a  future  day,  to  give  time  for  giving  an  answer.  (Spelman.)  Hence 
our  word  "  Respite."

munia  pasturae,"  and  of  the  law  respecting  it,  occupies  three  chapters  of  the 
fourth  book  of  Bracton.  The  right  of  comraunia  varied,  however,  so  much, 
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 
informed  as  to  the  time  of  the  year  when  this  inquisition  was  begun  ;  but  the 
visit  of  the  Dean  and  the  Treasurer  to  Chingford  must  have  taken  place 
prior  to  7  July,  1222. 

Per  Robertum  Decanum,  &c. —  Robert  de  Watford  was  Dean  from  the 
year  1218  to  1228.  Henry  the  Chancellor  was  Henry  de  Cornhill ;  he 
became  Chancellor  in  1217,  and  Dean  in  1254.  Peter  the  Treasurer  here 
mentioned  as  the  "  firmarius "  was  Peter  de  Sancta  Maria :  he  was  Pre- 
bendary of  Isledon. 

De  Carmos.  Moellos  et  Jantes  et  Wdericht. — Are  these  the  names  of 
particular  woods  or  of  materials  ?  Wdericht  seems  to  be  some  special  right 
of  wood,  apparently  different  from  the  right  of  supply  of  wood  for  the  carts. 

Page  86.  Duo  Lagehundred. — The  law  courts  of  the  hundred.  The 
law-day  is  mentioned  in  Statut.  1  Edw.  IV.  c.  2.  In  the  Forest  Laws  of 
Cnut,  c.  ix.  we  read,  "  Sint  omnes  quieti  ab  omnibus  procurationibus,  sum- 
monitionibus  et  popularibus  placitis,  quas  hundred  laghe  Angli  dicunt." 

Page  90.  Duo  fa'  de  avena. — Two  Fardings  or  Quarters. 

Aver  silver. — Money  in  lieu  of  carriage  or  average. 

Quarta  pars  plumbi. — The  plumbus  is  a  leaden  fat  belonging  to  the 
brewery,  frequently  mentioned  in  the  inventories  of  the  manors,  pp.  121, 
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 


Ixxxiv  NOTES  AND  ILLUSTRATIONS 

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  96.  Johannes  Faber. — In  1279  Walter  Faber  held  this  tenement, 
and  performed  this  service :  "  Dat  unum  hamum  ferreum  de  redditu  ad 
carnerri  in  coquina  erigendam,  die  quo  dominus  habet  magnam  Alebedrip 
(probably  the  time  of  brewing,  when  the  tenants  supplied  utensils),  et 
habebit  jentaculum  suum."  (I  27.) 

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 
inutiles  vel  ruinosas  destruxerit,  vel  onerosas  aut  male  dispositas  in  melius 
mutaverit  alibi  transferendo  vel  competentius  disponendo,  debita  recom- 
pensatio  sibi  fiat  de  necessariis  et  utilibus  meliorationibus  per  eum,  ut 
praBmiltitur,  factis  cum  aliis  inutilibus  vel  ruinosis  per  eum  destructis,  et  vel 
male  dispositis  alibi  translatis,  seu  utilius  et  melius  ordinatis,  dum  tamen 
sufficientia  aysiamenta  domorum  necessariarum  et  utilium  dimittantur." 

Page  105.  Ponunt  faldam  suam. — The  folding  from  Hokday  to  the 
first  of  August  on  the  demesne,  and  paying  for  the  charge  of  the  stock  so 
folded,  was  an  advantage  to  the  lord,  both  as  respects  the  manuring  of  the 
demesne  and  providing  the  wages  of  his  shepherd. 

Communis  pastura. — This  right   of   feeding  is  distinct  from   that  of 


TO  THE  ST.  PAUL'S  DOMESDAY,  A.D.  1222.  IxxxV 

folding  just  mentioned,  which  was  limited  to  the  demesne  lands  between 
Hokday  and  the  first  of  August.  It  was  that  denominated  pasture  of 
common,  and  was  enjoyed  from  Easter  to  Michaelmas ;  nor  was  the  lord 
bound  to  provide  any  shepherd  for  the  sheep  thus  depastured. 

Page  107.  Inrotulatio,  §c. — These  extracts  from  the  enrolments  of  the 
proceedings  of  the  Justices  in  Eyre  of  the  5  and  20  Ed.  I.  1277  and  1292, 
form  the  last  page  (but  in  a  much  later  hand)  of  the  Domesday  of  1222.

Quieta  de  canibus  expeditandis.  The  not  being  compelled  to  law  their 
dogs,  by  mutilating  their  feet  to  prevent  their  chasing  the  game. 

Imbladitura. — The  growing  corn  on  assart  lands. 

De  Agnete  Picot. — In  an  Inquisition  made  3  Edw.  I.  mention  is  made 
of  a  Purprestura  at  Chingford  held  by  one  Picot  who  paid  to  the  Treasurer 
of  St.  Paul's  three  days'  work  and  three  halfpence.  (Rot.  Hundred,  vol. 
I.  p.  160.)  From  the  Placita  de  Quo  Warranto  (p.  282)  it  appears  that 
in  the  6  Edw.  I.,  the  year  following  this  circuit  or  iter  of  Roger  de 
Clifford,  the  Bishop  of  London  and  the  Chapter  defended  their  rights  on 
this  manor  by  producing  their  charters,  and  that  they  were  dismissed  "  sine 
die,"  their  claim  being  allowed. 

Hebrugge,  Chingeford. — The  Chapter  appear  to  have  been  charged 
with  a  Purprestura  committed  in  the  time  of  Simon  de  Stanbrugg.  The 
Charter  of  King  John  which  had  been  produced  at  Chingford  (6  Edw.  II.) 
was  produced  again,  and  the  rights  of  the  Chapter  both  at  Chingford  and 
Heybridge  allowed. 


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. 

Page  110.  Herebertus  Cantuariensis  Archidiaconus. — This  person 
was  probably  Herebertus  Pauper,  who  in  1194  was  consecrated  to  the 
see  of  Salisbury.  Godwin  de  Praesulibus,  p.  342. 

Robertus  Mantell.  Vicecomes. — He  was  Sheriff  of  Essex  and  Herts  for 
twelve  years  subsequent  to  the  16  Henry  II.;  the  two  counties  being  under 
the  same  sheriff  until  the  9  Eliz.  (Fuller's  Worthies,  vol.  i.)  He  was  the 
founder  of  the  monastery  of  Bileigh,  in  the  parish  of  Maldon. 

Nicholas  de  Sigillo. — He  was  probably  a  relation  of  Robertus  de 
Sigillo,  who  died  Bishop  of  London  in  1151.  Nicholas,  surnamed  Scriba, 
was  also  a  Canon  of  St.  Paul's  at  the  time  of  this  Inquisition. 


THE  DOMESDAT  OF  KADULPHUS  DE  DICETO.          Ixxxvii 

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 > 
the  church  of  which  was  given  in  the  reign  of  Ric.  I.  by  Bartholomew  de 
Dammartino,  the  patron,  to  the  nuns  of  St.  Leonard's  at  Bromley. 

Johannes  de  Marigni. — Possibly  a  relation  of  Hugo  de  Marini,  the 
predecessor  of  Radulphus  de  Diceto  in  the  deanery. 

Nicholas  Londoniensis  Archidiaconus. — In  the  List  of  the  Prebendaries 
of  Oxgate,  this  Nicholas  is  mentioned  as  being  the  son  of  Nicholas  Croce- 
mannus,  the  former  prebendary. 

Page  112.  Inquisitiofacta  infra  viginti  dies  duos. — This  progress  began 
in  the  winter  in  the  month  of  January.  That  in  1222  appears  to  have 
taken  place  at  Midsummer.  In  1279  the  progress  began  on  the  19th  Sept. 
at  Nastock,  and  ended  at  Chiswick  on  the  24th  Oct. ;  more  places  were  then 
visited,  and  the  whole  time  occupied  thirty-six  days  instead  of  twenty-two. 

Page  113.  Reginaldus  prcepasitus. — Mentioned  in  1222  as  having  been 
a  tenant  of  this  manor.  See  page  7,  and  note  there. 

Page  114.  Ric.  archarius — Aschetillus — Stonhardus. — Among  the 
jurors  in  1222  we  find  Thomas  Archer,  Anketillus  and  Stonhardus.  The 
two  latter  were  probably  the  persons  who  had  served  forty  years  before. 

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. 

Randulphus  prcepositus. — The  tenement  held  by  this  person  is  men- 
tioned in  1222  as  held  by  William  the  son  of  Absolon  at  the  same  rent, 
v*.  vld. 

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.  118—121. 

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, 
Auicia  relicta  Giliberti  suoris,  Will'  de  Petewinshale,  Lambertus  faber, 
Rob'tus  leffrich,  et  Will's  Mot.  carpentarius  A  similar  identification  might 
be  made  from  the  survey  of  1279,  as  compared  with  this  list  in  1240. 
W7ith  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.  122—139. 

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. 

Page  122.  Haec  est  conventus  inter  capitulum  .  .  .  et  Robertum  ftlium 
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 


xcii  NOTES  AND  ILLUSTRATIONS 

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

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 
were  22  feet,  17  feet,  and  18  feet:  if  they  ranged  in  succession  the  whole 
length  was  35+  12  + 22  =  69  feet.  The  measurements  above  and  below

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.)

continued  for  several  centuries  to  form  a  part  of  the  leases  granted  by  the 
Chapter,  the  same  articles  of  household  furniture,  tools,  and  utensils  being, 
as  it  would  seem,  handed  down  from  generation  to  generation.  The  follow-

Page  131.  Ad  curiam  pertinent  singulis  septimanis  Ixix.  opera. — In  the 
inquisition  of  1279  there  is  a  list  of  the  names  of  all  the  persons,  63  in 
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."

Church.  (See  Introduction,  p.  xliv.) 

Ibi   est   aula,   &c. — The  Court-house   at  Kensworth  consisted  but   of

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* 
rium.  Locus  editus  in  domo,  soli  expositus,  ubi  apricari  solebant."  (Facciolati.)  The 
character  of  the  solarium  is  more  clearly  shown  by  the  definition  in  the  Catholicon  of 
J.  de  Janua:  Solarium,  quasi  solaurium,  quia  soli  et  aeri  vel  aurse  pateat. 


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.  140—152. 


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"  occupying1  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. 

Exaltatio  Sanctce  Crucis. — September  the  fourteenth.  The  festivals 
of  the  first,  eighth,  fourteenth,  twenty-first,  and  twenty -ninth  days  of 
September,  are  thus  described  in  the  Calendar  of  the  "  Preces  Privatae," 
1571.

Poterit  dominus  ponere  ad  operationem. — The  "  dominus  "  here  men- 
tioned is  not  the  Chapter,  but  the  Firmarius,  and  the  power  alluded  to  is 
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. 

Page  14).  Fuit  in  defensa  xl.  solidorum. — The  manor  of  Luvehale 
formerly  bore  a  part  in  this  contribution  as  part  of  the  Manor  of  Sandon, 
instead  of  paying  a  half  mark  on  its  own  account. 

Vicecomiti  iiij.  sol.  Prceposilo  hundredi  v.  sol. — The  Manors  of  St. 
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 


civ  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 
to  have  been  omitted — the  right  reading  being,  as  we  find  in  page  38,  in 
the  description  of  this  manor,  "  Defendit  se  pro  xxvii.  hidis  £cum  duabus 
hidis]  et  dimid'  de  prebenda  de  Sneting;"  this  prebendal  manor  bearing  its 
part  in  the  payment  of  the  hidage  with  the  other  lands. 

A  tempore  WilTi  de  Hochendune. — This  person  became  Firmarius  of 
this  manor  during  the  Deanship  of  a  Ralph  and  the  Archdeaconship  of  a 
William,  who  were  the  witnesses  to  his  lease  (see  p.  125);  the  only  two 
persons  of  these  names,  who  were  at  the  same  time  Dean  and  Archdeacon, 
were  Ralph  de  Langford  and  William  Archdeacon  of  London,  and  that 
between  1 150  JELYTcl  1 160. 

CanonicisJuero  1.  lib. — It  appears  from  the  lease  of  this  manor  (p.  129), 
that  of  the  fifty  pounds  here  mentioned,  five  were  rent  for  the  churches  of 
the  manor ;  "  et  de  ecclesiis  ejusdem  manerii  centum  solidos  ;  i.e.  in  summa 
1.  libras." 

Quietez  sunt  prater  quam  de  hydagio  et  denegeld. — The  hidage 
and  denegeld  here  mentioned  appear  to  be  different  payments  from  those 
mentioned  above,  as  payable  annually  to  the  sheriff.  The  antiquity  of 
this  document  is  proved  incidentally  by  an  observation  of  Spelman,  that  he 
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

many  facts,  which  shew  that  the  fundamental  character  of  society  in 
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 
other. 

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,  iijd.  ob." 

"Omnes  alii  ibunt  ad  scotallum  domina?  sicut  ad  scotallum  vicinorum." 
fol,86. 

"  Quilibet,  praeter  libere  tenentes,  ad  scotallum,  iijd.  ob.  vidua  ijd." 

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.)

(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  :

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.

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 
viii.  solidos  Edgaro,  quamdiu  Edgarus  tenebit  Wigeliam  de  Canonicis.  Et 
pro  hac  conventione  dedit  Hugo  Canonicis  vii.  marcas  argenti  ....  Et  si 
venerit  Wigelea  in  dominium  canonicorum,  si  voluerint  canonici,  dabit  eis 
supradictus  Hugo  iij.  marcas  argenti  de  garsuma  et  tenebit  totum  Wigalea 
cum  dimidio  marisco,  quod  modo  tenet,  et  pro  toto  reddet  uno  quoque  anno 
c.  sol."  It  is  remarkable  that  this  charter  is  again  entered  with  some  slight 
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.

1181,  or  the  time  when  Ralph  de  Diceto  was  dean,  we  have  evidence  in 
the  mention  of  Richard  Ruffus  as  firmarius  of  Sandon,  of  Belchamp,  of

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

made  of  xiid.  being  paid  to  the  Archdeacon  in  the  middle  of  Lent,  but  of 
the  origin  and  purpose  of  the  payment  at  that  season  we  have  found  no 
account. 

Quit  ecclesiarum  ornatus^diligenter  annexum  inveniesin  sequentibus.—- 
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."

of  which  was  probably  facilitated  by  the  causeway.

Ricardus  Thesaurarius  (see  Newcourt's  Repertorium,  vol.  i.  p.  137),  so 
called  as  being  the  king's  treasurer.

David. — This  Nicolas  was  probably  Nicolas  Scriba,  who  was  Prebendary 
of  Harleston,  within  the  manor  of  Willesdon,  in  the  time  of  the  Survey. 
The  dominium  or  demesne  described  as  held  by  David  was  probably  one  of 
the  other  prebends  within  the  manor  of  Willesdon.  The  name  of  David  is 
not  found  amongst  the  prebendaries  of  that  period. 

Viii.  acrce  de  la  Cnolle. — Cnolie  is  probably  the  word  now  spelt 
"  knoll,"  a  small  hill  or  rising  ground.  The  Cnolle  appears  to  have  con- 
tained sixteen  acres,  and  to  have  been  at  a  distance  from  Wilsdon,  in  the 
manor  of  Sutton,  of  which  Chi s wick  was  a  part.  In  the  inquisition  of 
Belchamp  mention  is  made  of  a  "  communa,"  common  or  open  space,  called 
the  Knoll.  "  Non  habetur  aliquid  communae  in  villa  nisi  ilia  strata,  quse 
vocatur  la  Cknolle."  i.  106. 

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. 

Page  153*.  Curtilagium. — Denned  by  Lindwood  (III.  tit.  17,  p.  200,) 
as  the  place  adjoining  the  Court,  where  greens  and  pot-herbs  (herbae  et 
olera)  are  gathered. 

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,

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.* 

Quot  campi  sunt  in  dominio.—ln  the  survey  of  Sutton  (I.  33)  299 
acres  are  described,  as  contained  in  seven  "campi,"  or  fields,  viz.  Suthfild, 
Breche,  Hamstal,  Estfild,  Northfild,  Westfild,  Eldefild,  the  largest  contain- 
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.

land  in  the  Demesne  of  Nastok  are  thus  described  in  I.  77  :

Vestura. — "  Vestura,"  as  meaning  any  kind  of  produce  of  land,  though  not 
a  classical  word,  is  of  classical  origin.  Terra  vestita  floribus,  herbis,  arbo- 
ribus,  frugibus  (Facciolati.) 

Appruare. — A  form  of  the  later  Latin  word  u  appropriare,"  to  apply  to 
his  own  use.  In  Fleta,  II.  73,  §  1,  "  appruator  "  is  applied  to  the  agent  or 
servant,  who  manages  an  estate  to  the  advantage  of  his  lord,  "  appruator 
fidelis  et  optimus." 

Pastura  forinseca. — "  Item  est  in  dicto  manerio  pastura  forinseca,  quae 
communis  est  ad  parochiam  ;  in  qua  dominus  potest  habere  L.  bovettos,  et 
valet  libere  deductis  expensis  vj.  sol.  In  eadem  pastura,  cum  pastura

Page  154*.  De  molendinisfullonicis. — Fulling- mills  for  cleansing  cloth. 
Fullo,  Ang.  Fuller,  is  a  word  of  high  Roman  antiquity.  (See  Facciolati.) 
The  other  mills  here  mentioned  are  described  according  to  their  working 
power,  whether  water,  wind,  or  horses. 

De  pesuagiis. — "  Pesuagium,"  a  form  of  "  pannagium,"  connected  with 
the  Latin  "  pastus,"  and  the  French  "  paisson." 

Graveris. — Pits  of  sand  or  gravel. 

De  lileris  tenentibus  qui  intrinsici  vel  forinseci. — "  Of  freeholders,  the 
which  dwell  without  as  well  as  within,  that  is  to  say,  how  many  freeholders 
there  be."  In  the  Inquisitions  of  St.  Paul's  we  do  not  find  the  "  forinseci" 
distinguished  from  the  "  intrinsici  tenentes."  The  object  of  this  article  of 
the  Inquisition,  as  we  may  gather  from  the  English  translation  (Stat. 
Realm,  1.  p.  242),  appears  to  have  been  simply  this,  that  whether  the 
tenants  were  dwelling  within  the  manor  or  not,  their  names  and  tenements 
should  be  recorded.* 

Item  ad  quas  consuetudines  teneantur. — It  is  to  be  remarked,  that  the 
persons  concerning  whose  customary  services  inquiry  was  thus  made,  were 
in  the  condition  of  the  "  liberi  homines."  If  it  were  admitted,  that  anciently 
the  freeman  was  not  bound  to  any  services  of  this  kind,  this  article  of 

*  It  is  however  probable  that  such  tenants  of  a  manor  as  dwelt  there,  but  were  liable 
to  services  in  other  places,  were  termed  "forinseci."  In  the  Rot.  Hund.  Co.  Oxon. 
the  services  due  at  the  Court  of  the  Hundred  by  lords  of  manors  are  distinctly  noted,  as 
the  "  forinsecum."  e.  y.  Ennestan  Forinsecum,  fol.  ii.  p.  740,  &c.

inquiry  would  testify,  how  frequent  were  the  instances  in  which  the  "  liheri 
homines  "  became  possessed  of  customary  or  villain  land  from  which  services 
were  due,  the  performance  of  the  services  not  altering  their  free  condition. 

Beilhalsaker  and  Bedemad.— Read  Bedehalfaker.  In  I.  71,  we  have 
an  account  of  both  these  services,  as  due  from  tenants  in  the  manor  of 
Nastock.  Bedhalfaker  is  the  service  of  mowing  half  an  acre,  "  Falcabit 
dimidiarn  acram  prati  pro  Bedehalfaker."  "  Bedmad  "  is  the  service  of  mowing, 
whether  as  described  in  I.  69,  "  quinque  acras  de  Bedemad,"  or  as  in  I.  71, 
<f  adjuvabit  ad  Bedemad  per  unum  diem." 

Precarice  siccai. — Boon-days  without  allowance  of  drink. 

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.

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  : —

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- 
tura,  sine  licencia  domini. — It  is  probable  that  this  restriction  did  not  pro- 
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, 
for  the  keeping-up  the  fences  or  "  haias,"  and  also  for  firing,  is  recognised 
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, 
co.  Oxon.  (Rot.  Hund.  II.  p.  761),  thirteen  villain  tenants,  holding  each  a 
virgate  of  land  and  performing  certain  services,  were  entitled  to  husbote  et 
heybote  "  de  bosco  qui  vocatur  biggefrit."

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

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).

dainty  composed  of  fine  flour,  eggs,  and  butter,  and  that  it  was  made 
for  the  wake-day  or  vigil  of  the  church  saint.  (Richardson's  Dictionary.) 
The  quantity  of  flour  used  in  wastel  and  flacon  in  1283  was  8^  qrs.  and,

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 : 

Of  smale  houndes  had  she,  that  she  fedde 
With  rested  flesh  and  milk  and  wastel  bread. 

De  quibus  habuit  xx.  quarteria  de  excrescenti  cancellorum. — For 
"  cancellorum  "  lege  "  cantellorum."  At  p.  173  we  have  an  account  of 
the  same  profit,  but  expressed  in  different  terms,  "  de  incremento  granarurn 
xx.  quarteria."  Du  Cange  explains  Cantallum,  quasi  quantillum,  id  quod 
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. 

Page  166.  Prtelenda  equorum. — The  daily  allowance  of  corn  for  the 
horses  employed  in  the  mill. 

Deface  et  hujusmodi. — All  the  sweepings  and  refuse,  stable  dung,  &c. 

De  drachat  vendilo.  —  Grains  from  brewing.  See  Du  Cange,  Drascus, 
where  it  appears  that  "  draines "  is  the  more  correct  form  of  the  word. 
**  Grains,"  however,  occurs  in  Ben  Jonson.  The  horses  at  St.  Alban's 
were  fed  with  "  furfur"  and  "  drascus,"  bran  and  grains. 

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 
servientes  bracini,"  who  are  mentioned  at  p.  171  as  receiving  twelve  pence 
per  week. 

In  piper e  ad  wastell. — "  Pipere"  is  probably  the  name  of  any  kind  of  spice. 

Ferrura. — The  labour  of  shoeing  horses. 

F err  amentum. — The  iron  for  the  shoes.

Page  168.  Pro  anima  Willielmi  de  Sancta  Margaret'  Decano. — 
The  scribe  in  the  original  MS.  has  written  Sancta  Margaret  instead  of 
Sanctae  Marise  ecclesiae,  as  in  p.  170.  There  were  two  persons,  who 
bore  the  name  of  William  de  Sancta}  Marise  ecclesia ;  one,  who  was 
Bishop  of  London  and  died  in  1 224,  the  other  here  mentioned,  who  was 
elected  Dean  of  St.  Paul's  in  1241. 

iij.  d.  ob.  per  ebdomadam  pro  pane  nigro. — The  scribe  has  here 
committed  another  error  in  writing  three  pence  halfpenny  instead  of  three 
halfpence,  as  in  p.  170.  It  does  not  appear  of  what  this  black  bread 
was  made :  the  "assisa  panis"  recognises  five  kinds  of  bread,  Wastel  of  one 
kind,  Cocket  of  two  kinds,  Simnel,  and  Treet.  The  bread  of  the  least  value 
appears  to  have  been  made  de  omni  blado,  the  loaf  of  which  was  twice  the 
weight  of  the  greater  Cocket. 

Procuria  Gilberti. — The  purpose  of  this  allowance  does  not  appear. 

In  stallacione  ij.  canonicorum. — The  custom  is  still  observed  of  pre- 
senting to  every  Canon  and  Prebendary  a  loaf  of  bread  at  his  installation. 

Page  169.  In  duobus  Festis  S'ci  Pauli. — January  25,  the  Con- 
version of  St.  Paul,  and  June  29,  which  day  is  now  dedicated  to  St. 
Peter  alone,  but  formerly  to  St.  Peter  and  St.  Paul.  These  festivals  are 
described  in  page  166,  as  the  "  Conversion  "  and  the  "  Commemoration  "  of 
St.  Paul. 

Page  170.  Anno  gratice  millesimo  250. — This  account  is  remarkable. 
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/. 
received  in  money  and  produce  from  the  thirteen  manors  would  be  repre- 
sented at  the  present  day  by  the  sum  of  4,005/.,  and  the  value  of  the  bread 
and  beer  to  the  thirty  canons  by  1 151.

the  Canons  was  not  in  the  number,  but  the  quality  of  the  loaves.  The 
Canons'  three  loaves  were  all  white,  but  the  "  minor  liberatio  "  to  the  "  parvi 
prebendarii,"  or  minor  canons,  contained  one  loaf  of  black  bread.  The 
"  dimidia  liberatio"  to  the  remaining  nine  "  parvi  prebendarii  "  was  one  half 
of  that  delivered  to  the  three. 

Page  172.  In  renovatione  molarum  et  equorum  40s. — The  expense  of 
mill-stones  and  horses  averaged  (as  above  calculated)  30/.  per  annum. 

Page  173.  Fratri  de  or  dine  Carmelitarum  pro  lecturis. — The  Car- 
melites were  the  order  commonly  known  as  the  White  Friars,  their  house 
and  church  in  London  being  near  Fleet  Street,  in  the  place  now  called 
Whitefriars.  They  came  first  into  England  in  1224.  The  allowance  to 
the  brother  for  his  readings  in  the  cathedral  for  little  less  than  ten  months 
was  one  loaf  and  two  gallons  of  beer  per  day. 

Bartholomo  Orologiario.  —  The  clock-keepers  had  a  loaf  per  day. 
The  Willielmus  de  Rokeweil,  who  is  mentioned  in  the  next  page,  as  receiving 
a  certain  quantity,  was  probably  an  assistant  who  came  to  help. 

In  installation  canonicorum. — Of  the  Canons  here  mentioned  as  in- 
stalled, Egidius  Filol  was  Prebendary  of  Mapesbury,  Hugo  de  Kendale 
Prebendary  of  Harleston,  and  Gilbert  de  Straiten  Prebendary  of  Consumpta 
per  Mare.  The  name  of  Johannes  de  Wyleby  does  not  occur  in  the  List  of 
Prebendaries  in  Newcourt's  Repertorium  ;  but  Philip  de  Wylewyby  was 
Prebendary  of  Brownsbury. 

Per  mensuram  pavimenti. — Probably  the  measure  of  the  Corn-market. 
In  the  parish  of  St.  Michael  le  Querne,  near  the  west  end  of  Cheapside, 
there  was  in  ancient  times  a  market  for  corn,  which  occasioned  the  church 
to  be  named  St.  Michael  ad  Bladum. 

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. 

Page  174,  Clerico  S'cti  Gregorii. — The  church  of  St.  Gregory  was 
within  the  ancient  cathedral  of  St.  Paul.  It  is  termed  in  p.  168  the  parish 
church. 

Tallies  vacantes. — The  allowances  to  canons  and  other  members  whose 
places  were  vacant  were  sold  and  converted  into  money.  By  the  statutes  of 
the  cathedral  these  *'  talliae  "  or  allowances  were  not  to  be  sold  to  laymen.

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 
for  the  offence  of  "  castella tio,"  i.  e.  fortifying  a  building  without  licence,  which 
is  mentioned  in  the  laws  of  H.  I.  amongst  the  <(  Placita  quae  mittunt  hominem 


CXXXV1  COKKECTIONS  AND  ADDITIONS. 

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/' 


INTRODUCTION,  page  x.     Capitular  Domesdays. 

In  the  Inquisition  of  the  Manor  of  Sandon  (I.  136),  we  meet  with  three 
entries,  from  which  it  appears  that  the  ancient  form  of  the  term  "  by  copy 
of  court  roll,"  was  "  per  rotulationem,"  or  "  per  rotulum  Domesday." 
The  persons  described  as  thus  holding  lands  were  "  libere  tenentes." 

"  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 
reddit  ad  festum,  &c."

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.)
