PREFACE. 



So many years have passed, since the first sheets of this 
volume were committed to the press, that the Editor is 
bound to acknowledge with thankfulness the patience with 
which the Members of the Camden Society have awaited 
I its completion. His apology for the delay ^viU he found, 
I 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, 
t when he engaged to edit for the Society " The Domesday 
I 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 
t 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 particiilar, hut 
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 



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 relig:ious, 
under which the human race has prolonged its existence, 
rrom 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 
t us with the knowledge which is now needed, or because 
the experience of former times is inapplicable to our 
I 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 
1 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- 

CAUD. soc. b 



ness of perception, in strength of intellect, in the power 
of disputation, and in the application and adjustment of 
fixed principles of jurispruduuce, 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

few documents belonging to other Cathedrals or to 
Monastic bodies ; he baa, however, seen enough to con- 
vince Mm, tbtit 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 he illustrated by contemporary history, 
■IW by philological research. In attempting in such cases 
to fulfll the wishes, or to meet the wants, of the reader, 
eonjeetiire must occasionally take the place of certain in- 
formation. The Editor has however rarely had recourse 
conjecture without stating his grounds ; and, if he 

Lould have fallen into error, be 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 

le form and character of the manuscripts now for the 

■st 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 



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 Radulphus de 
Diceto. 

Four hooks 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. 164. 
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 Cartae and 
Books of the Catliedi'al, now remaining in the archives, 
which is a book of 144 leaves, the capital letters of which 



I 



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 Magistrum Thomam Lyseux Decanum, 
Anno domini l-li?. Et nota, quod litera alphabeti signi- 
ficat armariolum signatum exterius cum tali litera, et 
Humerus sequens significat cofinum vel pixidem signatum 
cum tali litera et tali numero," 

The former part of the volume is a Catalogue of the 
Carta;, as deposited originally in the "Armariola," book- 
cases, chests, or boxes. Some thousands of these Carts 
ere 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 tiio 
I Domesday of St. Paul's. It is a thin folio volume, and 
I has its contents thus described in Dean Lyseux's Cata- 
I logue, " Tabula Registri de Visitatione Maneriorum per 





a:tV PBEFACJg. 

B/obertum Decanum, anno domini m.cc.xxii. 
cooperti Rubio Corio, Secundo folio, * Laurentius 
filius E/oberti,' 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 offolios 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 antique 
et notabili Registro, de tempore Wiiri Conquestoris, 
clause cum uno nodulo in medio, 2** folio in Rubrica 
* Privilegium,* signatus cum litera L.'* The book in 




its present state answers in every respect to the descrip- 
tion, except that the nodulus, or button, by which it 
I 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 
I book is of the latter part of the twelfth and thirteenth 
' centuries. The folios between 66 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, 



1. The Leases of Manors in the Twelfth Century, 
■ fol. 32, 38, 41, 4>6. 

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 Begistri de visitatione ecclesiarum, 
maneriorum, omamentorum, et omnium existentium in 
thesauraria, et omnium Cantariorum et Altarium, signati 
eum iitera I. 2" folio ' quarterio Arch.' " The Editor has 
availed himself of his reading in this book to illustrate 
the Dotnesday of 1222. The only parts of it, which are

appear from the Table of Contents, that the present volume 
I collcctloD of documents whkh, with one exception, are still 
preserved in the Archives of the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's, Loudon, 
and which exhibit the nature and enteiit of the Manorial property belonging 
. to that body in the l:ith and 13th centuries. The volume has, therefore, 
I uiiUDicd 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 ihc document, which stands foremost iu 
this coUtictiou, 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 12:^2," 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 
Domesduy, though printed alone, the Editor was unwilling to lose the 
opportunity, which was so liberally concedtd 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 manora ; 
the method in which it was paid ; and the distribution of it amongst the 
members of the Cathedral. 

The Manors, the historj' of which, as part of the possessions of the

Chapter of St. Paul's, is lUuBtrated by the contents of this Tolume, i 
as follows : — 

Kadenden, Kenesworth, Sandun, Luflen- 

hale, Erdeley, 
Beauchamp, Wicham, AduWeanasa, Tid- 
wolditun, Tiltingham, Barling, Runwell, 
Norton, Naatot, Chingeford, 
Sutton and Drayton, in Middlesex. 
Bemes, in Surrey. 

The order in which tbey are thus arranged, is that in which they stand 
in the Domesday of St. Paul's, of 1222, and in which they were viuted, 
iu the progress made that year (being the second year otter the translatioo 
of Saint Thomas of Canterbury, see p. 35) by Robert de Watford, the 
Dean, and Henry de Cornhill, the Chancellor of the church. 

The Records of the Cathedral exhibit do conclusive evidence as to tiw 
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 Icings, j^thelberht, Athelstan, Eadgar, and 
Eadward, ranging from the 7th to the 11 th century, granting to the 
Cathedral divers lands and liberties attached thereto. These charters are 
Nos. 962, 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

kid assigned to a remote period the origiDal acqaireineDt of the property by 
the church. The manor of Tilhagham, in the hundred of Dengey in the 
county of Essex, was accounted the most ancient possession, and the gift 
of it ascribed to j'Gthelberbt ; that of Saodun, Erdeley, Beaucharap, 
Wicbam, Tjdwolditun, Kunwell, ^'Edulresnasa, Drayton, and Bernes to 
Athelstan ; that of Nastok to Eadgar ; and of Darfm); and Chingcford 
to the Confessor Eadward. At whatever period those charters were 
written, it is evident that the writers of them knew how to diatioguish the 
more ancient possessions from those acquired at a later period, namely 
Nastok, Kenesworth, and Norton, and upon which the Exchequer DoineEday 
throws some light. Whether Nastok was originally acquired by purchase, as 
described in the charter of Eadgar (No. I^S9), may be doubtful ; but the 
statement in the Exchequer Domesday that the canons had obtained it "ei 
dono Regis" • from William, renders it probable, that the church had already 
some rights there, whilst the late possession of Keueaworlh and Norton, aa 
deduced from the same authority, accords with the omission of those places 
in the supposititious charters; since we read of tCenes worth,'' " Hoc manerium 
tenuit Leuwinus ciltde Rege E.i" andof Norton,*" that it belonged T. R. E. 
to a lady named Godida All the Manors of the Cathedral which were 
visited in 1322, and are deacribed 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 aa that part of the Episcopal Manor 
of Fulbam which was held by the Canons of St. Paul's, which contuned 
five hides, and was " de victu canonicorum." 

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 
MgK " corpses " of their Prebends, but only those Manors which formed the 
BkCommuna," the revenue and produce of which were appropriated to the 
foHpport 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 
" unura 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.

Tlie BiihopB 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 lo each of the thirty Prebendaries, 
and the Manors described in the St. Paul's Domesday separated from the 
rest to form the " Communa," is unknown. There is reason to believe 
that this apportionment was begun, if not completed, before the Conquest; 
for in the Exchequer Domesday' we read that the Canons Durandus and 
Uueri held lands at Twyford, Radulphua at Rugmere, and Walter at Pan- 
craa ; and to the Prebend denominated " Consumpta per Mare," landi 
were at one lime attached in the parish of Walton-le-Soken ; the catastrophe 
dcnuled by the name of the Prebend, having been supposed to occur about 
the time of the Conquest. The locality of these Prehendal Manors Jl 
interesting. They are remarkable as much for their distance from as for 
their protimitj to London. Thus we find two Prebends in Bedfordshire, 
now called Caddington Major and Caddington Minor, adjoining the Chapter 
Manor of Cadendou in Herts, but which originally were one Manor belong- 
ing to the Chapter ;" the Prebends of Sneating and Consumpta per Maro 
are in Walton-le-Soken in the hundred of Tendi'ing 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 Cliiswick is in Middlesex. Of the remainder of the Pre- 
bends, twenty-two in number, no less than nine are at Willesdon in 
Middlesex : vii , Willesdon, Uromesbury, Brownswood, Chamberlain 
Wood, Mapesbury, Neasdon, Harleston, Oxgale, and Twyford ; whilst the 
rest of them, thirteen in number: viz., Pancras, Rngmere, Totenhall, 
Kentish Town, Islington, Newington, Holbom, Portpool, Finsbury, Honton, 
Wenlock's Bam, Mora, and Eald Street, are found to occupy a belt of land 
of no inconsiderable breadth, from the walla of the city of London towards 
the north, extending from Pancraa 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 Prtbendaries, and there seems Utile doubt that each Prebend was in 
itself sufficiently valuable to render the great majority of the Prebendaries

iDdifferent as to obtaining thai increase of their incomes, which was afioedcd 
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 
thst portion of the lands of the Cathedral, which forms the subject of the 
St. Paul's Domesday, which was under the management of the Oean 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, aa seminaries of learning, or aa affording opportunities for retire- 
■neut 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, glnndinginthc samerelation 
4e the Crown as other Tenants in capitc, and having to fulfil lo their Tenants 
'tlie same duties, and receive from them the same services as other Lords 
of Manors ; and if the r.onduct of the Dean and Chapter, in the manage- 
ment of their Manors, was in accordance with the general practice of 
otiier landlui'ds, 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, he borne in mind, 
ilut since Corporatioos generally, and particularly ecclesiastical Corpora- 
have less power than individuals to change their customs in accord- 
ance with the changes produced by time, their proceedings may at all 
Uroes 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 lime, 

Dotnesdays of St, Paul's are records of Iniguisitions. Thus we

interrogatories, they will not knowinglj either suppress the truth or aasert 
what is false/' * 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 ia 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 Inqubitions began on the 8th of January, and ended on the SOth 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.

The days of the week upon which the progress was made have been I 
determined by the tables in Nieolas'a Chronology, The Dominical tetter 
of the year 1 181 being D, and Easter Day falling in that year on April 5, 
it follows that the Sundays occupied in the progress were the 1 Ith and ihe 
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. 

Inquinitions of thia formal kind do not appear to have been very fre- 
quently made, the earliest upon record being that just menljonedi by 
Radulph de Diceto, in 1181 ; the next that of 122?, by the Dean Robert 
de Watford, and which forms the chief subject of this volume; whilst s 
third, that of 1279, by Dean Baudake, forms a portion of Book 1., 
now remaining in the Archives. Ariicles of Visitation of a lat«r period are 
exlanti but the three Visitations of llBl, 12-23, and 1279 are those alone 
which now remain containing a regular inscription of a!l the names of the 
tenants, with their rents, ranks, and services, and forming a record reseni- 
bling, in its general features, the Exchequer Domesday, but with greater 
minuteness of description. It was probably the prt^reas of time, renioviog 
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 reat 
was to be obtained only for newly -in closed 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

hquiry 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 psrtiea 
poascBsed, and not a record of the re-letting of the land. 

In their use, not less than in their form, the Doroesdays of St. Paul's 
resembled the Domesday of the Exchequer. That census defined the rights 
'Ot 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 tlie 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 eittorl money from the people, and is 
'chiefly interesting as being the record of the subjugation of England to a 
ibreign power. The discovery of other Domesday books, compiled for the 
of other bodies and persons, and which are not records of violent 
transfer of property by war, hut ofHcial testimonies of quiet possession of 
lind-i 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 
letween 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 Diccto belonging to St. 
Paul's. In order to complete the catalogue, we must now reckon in the 
number of Domesdays — 1. The Liher 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 
bycommandof Henry Bisbopof Winchesterin 1148. 3. The Bolden Book 
(also printed in the Appendix), being an Inquisition of the lands and rents

of ihe biBhoprick of DuTham, by BUhop Hugo, in 1 163. 4. The surrey 
of the manors of St. Paul's in 1:222, printed in ttte following pages, and 

denominated the Domesday of Dean Robert de Watford. 5. A similar 
survey by Ralph de Bandake, Dean of St. PaulB, 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 



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 eiislence 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 Ihem. The return of the royal revenue prior to the 
Conquest, and of the dues from court* of justice, shared by the Crown, the 
Comes or Earl, aud the Prelates, and collected by the Vicecomea 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. 5G), the varied nature of which will prove, that without a rental, and 
without minutes of the legal proceedings within the burgh, the King's 
propositus 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 
forisfacturee 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. H 

I the most sncient of which are called Domeadays. The title of the Court-roll 
t of Castle Combe, Wilts, is " Itcdditunle cum Custumario de Castlecombe 

factum ad festum Sancti Michaelia 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 15/. 12;. 6d. and the number of the 
_ tenants exceeded fifty. Identity of character would seem to indicate a 
I, common use. At Castle Combe, the court Tolls were the records of 
proceedings on the days therein termed law-doyt — on those days in which 
not only rents were received, but legal rights and duties ascertained. And 
if, as is probable, the Exchequer Domcedsy, being the rental of all the 
inanors of the kingdom ia 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 
Ceniualis of the Crown and to the ancient Court-roll of a Capitular Manor, 
ss being records framed upon the oaths of jurors ia a DomeS'day or Law- 
day inquisition. 

The Domesday books are then records, which illustrate the condition 
I 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, 
t baronial, or episcopal and ecclesiastical, were to their owners sources of 
Lwealth, derived from two distinct sources — the exercise of a legal jurisdic- 
L 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 
h.the Sovereign and the Lords from other Manors. It is remarkable, that 
er the Exchequer Domesday, nor the Domcsdays of St, Paul's contain 
I any evidence, that the Eccleiiiastical manors had any superior religious 
I privileges, or were the centres from which religious knowledge was diffused 
L to the neighbourhood. The Manors of the religious houses were in reality 
Liecular possessions; and their history, as shewn in the Doukesday* of Sl

The Domesdajs of St. Paol's snpplj the defect, and enable os to aseertain, 
with respect to the whole of the property, the nombcr of hides in eadi 
Manor of both descriptions, whether Tenants' land or Demesne. 

The whole nomber of hides of land to which the Chapter was a awm d to 
hidsge in 1222 was 13d|. In fourteen out of the e^teen Manors, the 
number of rateable hides had remained the same from tbe time of tbe 
Conquest, bat at Tidwoldinton the variation consisted in redoctioD from 
eight hides to three, at Chingford and at Ardley from six to fire, at 
Draytim from ten to nine, whibt at Nastock there was an increase from 
seven to eight* 



INTRODnCTION, 2111 

Tfaew variationi are interesting, not only as indicating changes in the 
eondition 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 rela«ation of the burden of hidage. Whether any general revisal 
of the Survey of the Conqueror took place in later reigna 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 
^LBVilllam the Dean, several of the Manors being rated otherwise than they 
^^■fead been in the Exchequer Domesday, it is reasonable to conclude, that 
^^rthese changes were not made without the consent and approval of the 
^^BCrown ; and when we further learn, that William the Dean adjusted the 
^^Epayment of the hidage between the Demesne and the Tenants' lands in the 
^Tii^Bnor 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 inveaU- 
gated its ancient rights, is evident from the Liber Wintoniensis of Henry I^ 
which opens with the following preface ; " Henricua Rex volens scire quid 
Rex Edwordus habuit omnibus raodis Wintonife in auo dominico, Uurgensium 
Euorum Sacramento hoc comprobari juasit." 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 7^ and then from 7^ to 3, i» worthy of remark, the latter reduc- 
tion having taken ,}1ace between 1181 and [222. The Manor lies at the 
extreme end of the Blackwater estuary, on the coast of Essex. In the time 
of Stephen, tempore giterrte, (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 
oceaaiun 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 
*irgates of thirty acres ; bnt, 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." 
I At Drayton this hide did not pay "geld" with the other hides, "nisi

INTRODUCTION. 



quum coromuiiiler fiunt exactiones per hidas" (p. 99). Whether the 
tolanda at Sutton and ihoHe at Tillingham had the hke exemption is doubtful. 
A lolaKda consisted of two hides (pp. 68 and 93), but piobably in this 
case the hide waa not of the ordinary dimension. Tlie nord tolanda, or 
BB it is written at p. 142 scolanda, is so evidently a latinized form of 
the Anglo-Saxon rulnng, or plough-land, and approaches bo near to the 
Kentish iolinut, that we need scarcely hesitate to consider them identical, 
and since we learn from the Domesday Survey of the possessions of St. 



a half, 
a hence that the tolanda 
Bmaller hides 
lolinut or Anglo-Saxon 



Martin's at Dover (vol. i. f. 2) that 430 acres i 
the solin being- therefore 180 acres, we gather from 
probably did not contain two full hides of 120 ai 
of 00 acres each, or 180 acres, being the Kentish ( 
aalung. 

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 133^ 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 lauds shews an actual 
acreage of nearly 24,000 acrea. Of these 24,000 acres, three-eighths were 
in demesne and five-eighths belonged to the tenants, being for the moat 
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 Manora 1 
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 i 
dominico," and from the services performed by them, that the lords ] 
of Manors had power, if not to alienate the Demesne in perpetuity to I 
tenants, at least to grant to them a right of occupation, upon 
ditions of service not difTerent from those attached to lands which did not j 
form part of the demesne. It would be out of place to enter upon i 
inquiry whether, in the original formation of Manors, one part of the j 
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 atiised. Thus we read at p. 140, in the manor of Ardley : ■■ De aex 
predict)! hydii duaa Aierunt in dominio et quatuor anua et adhuo aunt;"

and at Ulliiigbain, p. S8, ve find an eDumeration of tenants " de dominico 
anliquilut a»*i»o ;" and st Luffenhall, p. 20, *' Isti tenent de hida assiaa 
per Odonero;" and at p. 94, " [sti tenent de terra assisa." 

It has been stated that the Exchequer Domesday supplies us with little 
information as to the relative extent of the Teuants' lands, and of the De- 
mesne, in the county of Essei ; the enumeration of the Carucae, or plough- 
teams, in the Demesne, and of the Carucje of the Homines, or Tenants, 
affording no certain clue lo the acreage of the two portions of the manor. 
Concerning, however, the nature of the Carucs 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 Camcje of the demesne and of the tenants. " Vi. carucx in dominio. 
Tunc inter homines Ix. carucs, modo xxx." In the lease of that manor, 
granted in the lime of Ralph de Dicelo, some 120 years later, see p. 125, 
we have renewed mention of these six Carucae in the demesne, with the 
addition of the number of oxen attached to them, and as being a part of the 
stock of [his Manor leased to the lessee : " Restauramentum tale est : sex 
carrucffi. de quinque unaquieqne 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 Camcn possessed by the tenants ; but 
in each Manor the number and strength of the teame, which, when added 
lo the " CO nsuetu dines," or customary labour performed by the tenants, 
were suCBcicnt for the cultivation of the demesne, are particularly stated.

Hence it appears that of nhaterer kind of aaimals the CarucK or 
were formed, there were in eat^h team not less than cis, eight, or ten head <rf 
cattle, either horses alotie, or beasts alone, or horses and heasts intermixed. 
It must be obvious to every student of the Eicheijuer Domesday, that the 
abstracts of inquisitions, which constttule the body of that work, were made 
by differettt persons, and that the information derived from it, as respects 
the condition of Manors throughout the kingdom, is not of an uniform cha- 
racter. TTie Domesday of Essex is distinguished by the frequent ennmer*- 
tion of the live slock of the manors, and the comparison of the number of 
animalB of each description existing at the two periods — the time of the Sur> 
Tcy and the time of the Confessor. Thus in the survey of the manor of 
Brachestedam, iu the hundred of Wiiham (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 (aniiualia), forty pigs, and eighty sheep ; but at the 
time of the Survey there were found one horse, six beasU, forty-six pigs, 
one hundred aud 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 Delchamp there were nine beasts, two horses, fortf 
pigs, an hundred Eheep, and five goats> At Wichara two horses, four 
beasts, twenty-three ptgs, lifty sheep, twenty-four goals, and two hives of 
bees. The live slock upon these manors of St. Paul's is in some case* 
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 impletnenlum of the demesne, distinct mention of which is made in the 
leases of manors contained in this volume (pp. 122 — 189), as received by 
the JirtnuriuM at the commencement of his lease, and rendered either in 
kind or value at its terminiition. It appears from those leases, which were 
granted nearly a ceuiury after the Conquest, that this live stock had in the 
mean time been varied, and we cannot, as in the case of the Carucs 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 goatt, which at 
both periods are detcribed, p. 121, as belonging to the manor of Wicham.

INTRODDCTION. 

In the Exchequer Domesday, whether a. manor belonged to the king o 
a prelate, or to any other body or person, itB descriplioo is of the ume 
character and relates to the same particulars, the general form being aa 
fuUows : — ■

The clause in this return, to which we would now direct the attention of 
the readf^riis 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 destrihing the value of manors is universal ihrougbout 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 Domesdays, 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

INTRODUCTION. 



the same thing was valued in all other manors ; and since in very many 
cases it is the annual valoe, 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 he ascertained in 
the inquisition, and which is accordingly expressed hy 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 *' 




t employed in a peculiar sense, we couclude that generally, and in other 
s where the value of the estate put to fann is not given, the word 
" valet" also means annual value. 

It is further to be observed, that in the Exchequer Domesday the terras 
" reddit " and " redditus " frequeiitly supply the place of " valet." lu the 
Domesday of Wiltshiri' the " Terra Regis " contained twenty-two manom. 
Six of them may be distinguished from the rest as ancient Royal manors, 
which had never paid, nor been estiraated for, hidage, but which " reddi- 
dtrunt firmam unius noctia cum omnibus consuetudinihus," the value 
of this reddilu* being at Chepeban 110/. and at Theodulveside 100/. 
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 (jiiiie 
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 " reddilus," 
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 Doraeaday means only the annual value of 
money-rent, or the sum which the estate was worth when let to farm. 

At page UO of this volume, the reader will find an inquisition of all the 
Manors of St. Paul's in the year 1 181 : the resemblance of this inquisition 
to that of the Exchequer Domesday in respect of the numljer of hides at 
which the manoj's were assessed, or which were in the demesne, will be per- 
ceived by comparing the inquisition of the manorof Kenswrtha(Canesworde), 
with that already presented to the reader, " Manerium de Keneswrtlia de- 
fendeliat se tempore Regis Hcnrici et Willielmi decani pro x. hidis versus 
r^em, et reddehat vicecomiti xs. s., et adhuc ita est. Canonicis vero reddit

acrs de lerra arabili et in bosco cc. acrse. Est ibi paatura ccc. ovihus. 
A'ummn denariurain x. lib. et vii. solid, et ob." As in the case of the 
older inquisition of this manor of Kensworth we drew attention to the terra 
" valet," and pointed out some of the reasons for interpreting the term aa 
meaning only annual value, so, with reference to the term " Summa dcnari- 



IMTSODUCTIOK. 



omm ** in this later inquisition^ we would obeenre that, as it ooeupies the 
place of the ** valet,'* its position alone would kad us to eoiiclude» that the 
terms are expressive of the same value — that which at one period was ex- 
pressed by ** valet ** being afterwards expressed bj 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 11 81, and of Robert de Watford in 122:?, 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

^^tny not be uninteresting, the whole interval of time from the 6rst valuation 
^' T. K. E. to that in 1222 occupying s period of about 160 years. In order 
to account for the variation of value of each manor at the different periodsi 
much more iaformation la 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 thera and those of the two later periods, as not exhibiting any frac- 
tional payments, clearly intimates estimated or average values rather than 
ftctual receipts. And as respects the increase and diminution of rent at any 
of the periods, it is to be obaerved, that increase would take place by the 
conversion of demesne lands into tenants' Inada ; and that the resumption 
of tenants' lands by failure of heirs and by forfeilure, by increasing the land 
in demesne, would cause a diminution of rent. The increase of the 
" Summa denariorum " in 1222 above that of 1 IBl would indicate, either 
that a larger part of the demesne had been aiiued in ihe 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 valne. It would 
seem, that the good management of a manor depended much upon the allot- 
tnent of lands in demesne, ii 
the manor is described as possessing c 
opcrationem quantum voluerit" of the 

also reference appears to be made by the jurors at Beauchamp (p. 28), 
Heybridge (p. 53), Uunwell (p. 170), and Nasteck (p. 175), in their 
■tatemcnts, that the lands of the demesne, the essarta or newly-cleared 
lands, and other tenements had been let (tradits) 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 1^22 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, 
Knd the Nativi, the whole number of tenements exceeding thirteen hundred, 
•nd indicating a proportionate increase in the population.

The fragment of the InqiiUiiioa of 
1 1 4), affords the means of compitriDg

Surrey, and at the later period of 122J. Twenty-four V'illani, teo Bordarii, 
and five Servi ocoipicd that manor in 1080, in all thirtj'-niae. A hundred 
years later there were eighteen Libere t^neotea, holding «ix hundred and 
aixty-seven acres, with thirty-five tenants of the demesne holding one hundred 
and fifty-eight acres ; these two classes being Sfly-three in Dumber. In the 
next fifty years the Libere tenentes had increased from eighteen lo thirty- 
four, or nearly double ; but the (quantity of land held by them had incresMd 
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. l~he two classes together were 
in 1086 thirty-four, in II81 fifty-three, in 1222 seventy-eighL 

It was necessary, in order to the uame of any person being admitted oa 
the Court Koll, that he should be the rightful occupier of land or ine>- 
ausge ; 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 kind*, of tenanciei 
in the same manor, that the number of the households necessarily falla 
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 " esi^arts ;" 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 Glauville (vii. 2), was applicable to all lands 
nut held by knights or by military tenure ; and which divided the inherit- 
ance of the Socmen equally among all the sous. (See also Bracton, ii. 34.) 
But from such divisions of the land the lord derived no increased annual 
profit. A viigate, or a hide of land, when so divided, does not appear to 
have been chargeable with any increased rent, or any increafied tenant-labour, 
whilst the number of persons liable lo the rent, and to the performanne of 
labour, might increase the difficulty on the part of the lord in exacting his 
dues, without his hiving any proportionate advantage.

INTRODUCTiOK. XXIU 

The manor of Sutlon, however, presents a remarkable contrast to the 
Other manors of St. Paul with respett to increase in the number of 
tenancies at the periods above mentioned. In the Exchequer Domes- 
day it is recorded thai the tenants of this manor consisted of eight Villani, 
Iwlding each one virgate, seven Villani holding each half a virgate, seven 
Bordarii with five acres each, sixteen Cotarii, and two Servi — alWgethcr 
ifcrty persons. The namber of tenancies in 1222 appearing but little to 
'axceed the ancient numberof forty, has led to a more accurate comparison of 
'the two Surveys,' which has been attended by some curious results ; such as 
■'tiiese, 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 
iter 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 1232, and chiefly in small 
quantities, such as the Cotarii generally held, very nearly corresponds to 
the sixteen Cotnrii of the Exchequer Domesday. Such coincidences confirm 
most strongly the idea that the ancient, as well as the later Domesdays, were 
ipiled from sources of a similar character, and that the ancient Domes- 
^days are, as has been suggested, abbreviated Court Rolls of Manors. The 
Hecords of St. Paul's throw no light upon the meaning of the title Bor- 
darins ; 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, bad before belonged to them, they had at 

it time ceased. 

It is to be remarked, that though there were " Servi " on every manor 

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. Peraiyial 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 Ixird 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 praedial 
Sprvices due from the Tenentes or Villani were not required to be per- 
formed in person ; and whether in the mttnor or out of it the Villanus was

not in legal language ** sub potestaie 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, I. 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 mesuag^um," &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 bdng 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, 131), a courthouse and bams 
at Walton, and at Thorp a homestead, with a bam, a stackyard, and a house 
used partly as a bam. These Akermanni were six in number, holding each 
of them five acres. Their tenure of the land was uncertain ; for it is dis- 
tinctlv said that the Lord could take them into his own hand whenever he 

m 

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,

, and it 19 remarkable, tbat four of them. Rand' the weaver, Adman the son 

I of Herevicus, Alicia the widow of Jordan, and the brothers Walter and 
Edmund, held other lands in other t-apacitiea (see pages 30, 44, 49, 51). 
■nd tbat the occupaliona of the remaining two, Sagar the shipman, and 

I Johannes the merchant, are quite compatible with the condition of the 
tivi as already described, who holding " in bondagio " could, under certain 

I penalties or payments, remove from the manor, and carry on trade, or serve 

I on hire elsewhere. 

The Inquisition of the Manor of Adulveanasa (see pp. 38-52) differs 

I 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 tenanis being 

I denominated Hidarii. The hide was not divided amongst its tenants 
equally, nor was the number of tenanis on each hide the same ; the

ma of the land, and so distinct an appellation, might appear to indicate 
e peculiar privilege. There is however no ground for such a supposi- 
I tioni for if we compare the services due from the Hidarii, as detailed in 
I'pages 42 and 47, with those of the Libere tenentes on other manors, it will 
I be evident, that the Hidarii of Adulvesna^a belonged to the ordinary class of 
■ Villani, their distinction being probably only this, tbat they were jointly, as 
Kwell as severally, bound to perform the services due from the hide, of which 
tthey 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 theae 
manors in 1222, we find no such distinct classification, nor is there any 
uniform system in the description of the tenants or their tenancies. The 
following list eihibita nearly all the varieties of description.

ever, in which the services and persona of the Libere tenentes, theTenente* 
terras operarias, and the Nalivi, stood with respect to each other, and to the 
Lord of the manor, are so distinctly marked, as to leave hut little doulit, that 
ill those thi-ee classes we have the representatives of the Villani, Bordarii, 
Bnd Servi of the earlier age, under titles of a higher order, and which less 
plainly indicaled the servile character of the services which were due : to be 
a Tenant of any class was probably a designation more agreeable than thai 
of a Villain ; to hold land " ad operationem," and by the tenancy of labour, 
and to be an 0|ierarius, might he an appellation, as superior to that of Bor- 
darius, as that of Nalivus manifestly is to that of Servus or Slave. 

Under the Manorial system all the tenants performed pnedial service! ; 
but ihe higher was the rank of ihc 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 Precarlai or lloon days, bi-iiig the three seasons, — of 
harvest, and of ihe autumnal and Icnten ploughing and sowing. The 
s of St. Paul's, who. as is shewn in the Exchequer Domesday, held 

e Manor of Darnes, as part of the Archiepiscopal Manor of Mortlake, 
e bound either by ibemselves or their firmnrius to plough four acres of 
the Archbishop's land and to find men to nttend one Preearia (see page 
103), whilst their own Tenants on that Manor performed for them similar 
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. Al SandoD 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 
houM for three holidays to collect nut«. At Kirkeby some other services.

icludinfi that of thrashing seed corn, and supplying cnrriage, were rc- 
I quired. At Heybridge the " Libere tenentes " assisted in carrying the corn 
\ 'to St. Paul's. It will be seen, that the extent of ihe ploughing, or reaping, 
r of cartage, due at the Boon days, is defined in the Sui'vej of 1 ■2-2-2, with 
>me slight differences on diiTerent manors; but, since it is evident that 
I the highest classes of tenants did not perform prfbdial services at any other 
I periods of the year than those of the Precariie 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." 

tWith reppect to the tenants of the manors who were inferior to the 
i** Lihere tenentes," viz. the Operarii and Colarii, the Inqnisitions of St. 
Paul's supply the fullest proof, that the distinctive character of their services 
cODsistfid in the obligation to perform prrcdjal labour upon the demesne lands, 
not only at the Boon days, but during every week of the year, the holiday 
ireeVa at Christmas, Ea>ter, and Pentecost excepted. The name by which 

> tills class of tenants was in some cases distinguished from the " Libere 
itenentes," was that of " Custumarii." The customs of the different manors 
nrere not uniform as respects these tenants ; but generally their weekly labour 
^varied according to the period of the year, boinf; the least from Miehaelinas 
[to Pentecost, after that increasing from Pentecost to ihp feast of St. Peter 
■d Vincula (.\ug. I), and being greatest from that time J.ill Michaelmiva. 
At Sandon, during these periods, the Operarii upon each half-virgate supplied 
labour for two, four, and five days. At Kadendon the Cotarii laboured 
thric« a week from Michaelmas to August, and from that period every 
^v^day but Saturday; but at Ardlcy their labour wns limited to Mouday, and 
^^Bo the services of carrying, and driving awinc to Londun. We observe, in 
^Hbonclusion, 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 and Cotarii wore 
nibject 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 llieir 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

senrices were occasional, and those of the Send or Natiny who could never 
leave the soil without the license of the lord. 

Praedial service^ or, as it might he termed, ** agricultural lahoor/* was 
the tenure, under which lands were generally held of the lords of manors at 
the heginning of the thirteenth century ; if land were held by payment of 
money alone, there is very frequently direct evidence of the payment bong 
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 praedial 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, \lllani, Bordarii, Cotarii, and Servi 
existing everywhere, there is ample ground for the conjecture, that services, 
such as were performed by tenants in those counties, were also due from 
tenants of the same class elsewhere. 

In the Exchequer Survey of the County of Gloucester (fol. 163, 166), 
we find a class of ^ Liberi homines,*^ with the peculiar appellation Radche- 
nistri, who ploughed and harrowed at the court of the lord. The most 
remarkable notice of them is that in the Survey of the Manor of Der- 
heste, part of the possessions of St. Peter's Westminster. ** De terra 
hujus manerii tenebant Radchen^ id est, liberi homines, t^npore Regis 
Edwardi, qui tamen omnes ad opus domini arabant et herciabant et fidcabant 
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. 17^b,) an exemption from that 
prsdial service which consisted in attendance upon the Precarie or Boon 
days, seems to be implied in the words ^' excepto rustico opere, sicut deprecari 
polerat a prsposito ;** obligation to this service being on the other hand 
implied in a corresponding phrase (fol. 174 a): "« Deserviebant sicut ah 
episc<^ deprecari poterant.'* The tenants ai the lands of St. Peter's West- 



INTRODUCTION, XXUC 

minster, in Worcestershire, performed the following' services (fol. 174 b); — 
At Brigsteiiniijtune the Villani and Bordarii ploughed and sowed six acres 
with their own seed ; at Aichintune six Coliberti performed the like servicaa 
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 Lon^edune, 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 
Riidchenistri) performed the same service at Poiwic ; the phrase " scrviebant 
sicut alii liberi homines" occurs also several times. To the manor of 
Wicelbold (fol, 176 b), which belonged to Earl Gudwin, there were attached 
thirteen burgesses in Wick, " Secantes duobus diebus in Augusto et Marcio 
el servientes curiae." The account of the number of acres ploughed 
and sown with their own wheat by the tenants of the Roynl Manor of 
Leominster, in the County of Hereford, (fol. 179,) is remarkable, as being 
a doable 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. It. E., were appendant to that manor, but which, 
T. It. W., bad been apportioned amongst twelve or more Norman chiefs, who 
were tenants in capite. The rents which were payable fur 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 purvey 
(fol. 269 b), in illustration of the early existence of prxdial 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 ihe names to the hundreds. More 
than thirty Thanes held manors within the Royal Manor of Derby. The 
1 upon which they were held arc fully enumerated, the particular

, Many of the usages therein mentioned are not perfectly under- 
; but the general character of the servieea described in the "^^Itecti- 
bndines," 90 closely corresponds with the services which the St. Paul's 
fomesday states to be due from diflerent classes of the tenantry, as to 
mder it almost certain, that the " Rectitudines " represent only an older 
ame national institutions, the character of which, as afterwards 
o pliiinly described in the records of the twelfth and thirteenth 
I centuries. The first part of this document relates to four cksses of persons, 
.B of Thanes law, Geneates right, Cotsetlan right, and Gebures right ; 
s of the three latter classes being all prsdial, and being distin- 
guished from each other either as occasional, or as being continued 
throughout Ihe whole year, on one or more days of the week. The Geneate, 
the Kotsetle, and the Gchiir, 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 Geneale or Villanua, 
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 Geneale is said 
to be bound "averiare," "suramagium ducere," "metere et falcare," "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 auum 
cibum proprium," " de maireno domini, quod scindent et parahunt et caria- 
buat, innovare granarium," ihe resemblance is so striking as lo 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 
^hBTvices of the " Geneate," which were occasional, are contrasted with the 
Hsily services throughout the year, described in the Rectitudines as due 
from the two inferior classes, the CotselJes and the Geburi, The Cotsctle 
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 lo the whole 
gSionth, and it was his privilege to hold five acres of land, more or less, 
e custom of ihe place. The Gebur's service was more ex- 
k'er worked less than two days in the week, and that through- 
rear, and in addition to this service he had payments to make

I'UiHt he could exclude the tenants from the use of them. Il was this double 
i' Capacity, in which the lord stood to his tenants, as the arbiter of their rights, 
r of the land, which rendered it necessary to the due 
I discharge of the duty of his station, that the lord of a manor should be

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 Mareacalius, the CamerariuB, 
the Clericus coquinEB, and Clencus panetarii ; but in the latter part of the 
ik, which treats of the management of manors, we find the lord of the 
ided by the Senescallus, who held his courts, by the Marescallus, 
who had the charge of his stud, and by the Coqiius, who rendered an 
account of the daily expenditure to the Senescallus. 

Regarded as landed estate, the manorial possessions of the Sovereign 
did not diSer 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 Vieitationis 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. IH. 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 Prsepositus. 

The Senescallus (who is represented in modem 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,

(provincia) and with the nature of bis office, in order to msin- 
taiDing the rights of his lord, and instructing the utidtr 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 tenms and the condition of the stock, 
the conduct and behaviour of the bailiffs, the fines, amercements, reliefs, 
heriots, offerings, and sales, and tiie persons who have received such monies 
— and so also of wardships and maritagia — and of injuries or death h»[iptn- 
ing to the stock. He received also the account of the daily expen- 
diture from the various officers of the household, but no inoDey of any 
kind belon^ng to the lord came into hia own hands. He was the legal 
adviser of his lord, the judge of hia court, the guardian of his rights, and 
the person who was atquainted with evfry particular, as to the possessions 
and duties of every one connected with the management or cultivation of 
the manor. 'Inhere 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 \a 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 
Nnslok (p. 75) as surveying the windfall limber. 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 Cbingford ; and it is olso 
probable, that be is the officer, who as Serviens or BedcUus curice directed 
the application of the labour of the tenants on the same manor (p. 8<> and 
89). IJut 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 superintendeore 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 
llicir casting off, before l.hey had performed their day's work, to measure

lay the duty, not only of plouglibg the lands by the labour of th« tenanta, J 
but aUo of getting in the Eeed; and the task was one, which manifeRtly T 
required the utmost vigilance, whea they who ploughed the lands, and 1 
provided to a great extent the seed required, were not paid for their labour, I 
and had no interest in ploughing and sowing lands to increase the profit of i 
the lord at their expense. If the Ballivus had power to exact the labour, f 
he had also every opportunity to harass ihe tenants in the discharge of his 1 
office ; and therefore Fleta includes amongst the qualifications of the Balli- 
vus not only truthfulness, diligence, fidelity, and knowledge of the ordinaiy J 
laws pertaining to his office, but also "quod sit ila Justus, quod ob vin-l 
diclam vel cupiditalem non queerat versus tenentes Doroini, vel aliquos uU f 
subditoa, occasiones injustas, per quas destrui (destringj P) deberent Mil I

In the lists of the jurors prefixed to the Inquisitions of the Manon 
of St. Paul's in 1.'22 we find frequent mention of the Preepositus, tA 
Kadendon, Sandun, Chingeford, Sutton, and Bernes. From the Survey of 
1279 we learn, that certain of the tenants were compellable to accept thii 
office : that it was an annual office ; and that whilst performing its duties J 
the tenant was exonerated from other services : and from Flela, (c. 76> I 
that the Priepositus was elected by the Villata, presented to the lord, I 
or to his steward, and by him invested without delay in the office. J 
His dudes were supplementary U> those of the Ballivus; he shared with I 
him in exacting the services of the teams, and getting in the need; biitl 
besides this he had the care of the manure of the farmyard, and the J 
spreading it upon the land ; and to see that those, whose duty it i 
cart the manure, performed each day the labour which was due. Beside* I 
other duties, be had the superintendence of the cattle, the horses, oxea, ' 
and cows, and also of the buildings and dead stock of the 
might, perhaps, term him the " foreman " of the labourers ; and, as elected .^ 
by the villata, the protector of his fellows, in that he adjusted < 
settled, ill 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 Flela (c. 72) that it was the duty of the Propositus every week to 
calciilale with the BailifF the customs (cousueludines) of the week, and keep 
a tally of the days' works, that so the arrears of the days' works might be 
ascertained, and, being couvertcd into money-paymeDt, the revenue of t! 



lard might be iacreased. The Praepoaitus had also charge of the granary, 
to deliver by tallies corn to be baked, aud niatt to be brewed, and the 
bran and pollard to be used in niakini^ 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 internol 
condition of a manor, and the method of its cultivation ; enough, however, 
may liave been adduced to explain the relatinn, 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 Propositi. 

It 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 Sencscallus, or Steward, being the representative of the lord and 
the judge of the manorial courts ; and the Uallivus 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 Sevvi 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 beloDgiDg 



XXZVIII INTRODUCTION. 

to secular persons or to ccclesiasticnl bodies, was identical in its charmcter, aa 
regarded the riglits 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 estent of their crops and the 
realiKatian of their incomes. Against this unci; rtaijity the layman, who had 
no interests to consult, but those of himBclf and his family, could easily pro- 
vide : hut 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 Burvauts, 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 qnantiiiea 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, th« 
remaining manors of the cathedral were formed into a separate stock, 
denominated the " Commnna," 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 wns placed "ad 
Grmam " in the hands of a "Firmarius;" who exercising all the rights, 

i performing all the duties of the Chapter, as the Lord of the Manor, look 
r which were over and above tb« 
which consisted of certain money-

held a beneficial lease. The Angio-Saxt 
" food ;" and the verb jreoj'mian is no

cultivated the land, but because he was bound to furnish ^eo^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

that whenever a manor is described in the Exchequer Domesday as " de 
▼ictu 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 MauricCi Bishop of 
LfOndon, 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 
firmsB 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 firmoB, which in the earlier times were a supply of nearly fifty- 
three weeks, but afterwards of only forty-five.

xl IKTRODUCTION. 

This appropriation of the manors of a cathedral to furnish a weekly 
supply of food, may he considered as an illustration of the noticeBy 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 '* firma noctis," and '' firma diei." Sir Henry Ellis, in his In- 
troduction to Domesday, p Ixxii., enumerates thirty-one manors as rendering 
such firmae 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 firms, 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 1 50/. 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 ** firms " 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 50L 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 
firmae 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 



INTBODDCTION. xll 

his time, that ia 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 pmctice continued during the whole of the reign of 
William, and down to the time of Henry hia 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. Re.nts 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 tnsnor of Barnes, which in the year 1108 was leased to two 
brothers, William and Walberlus, 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 (he 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. 1*24.) The leases of Runwell and Adulves- 
naia (see page 125), the one to Richard the Archdeacon, the other to William 
of Occhendon, are of as early a date as 1150; but whether Ihls William de 
Occhendon, as well as one Humfridus Qucvinte, who at that time held a lease 
of Kensvrorth (sec page 12»), were Canons of the Cathedral is uncertain. 
The Inquisition of 1181 (seep. 1 1 1 ) 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 Firmariua of Cadendon and Kensworth, Robert 
de Fulham, William and Theodoric, Odo de Dammartino, Johannes de M«- 
regiii, and Johannes, who held Wicham, Tillingham, Norton, Naslock, and 
Bernes respectively U> farm, were also Canons, does not appear. The same

remark is applicable also to the Fimiarii of the manora in I22i, but with 
tbia addition, that some relatives of the canons appear to have been lessees, 
the lease continuing in the ^ame 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- 
lino had before held ; and Johannes de Marinia 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 
MiddleseK, held two manors, Adulvesnasa and Chingford ; 2. Richard de 
Gravescnd, the Treasurer, held four, Cadetidon with Kensworth, Ardeley, 
and Itunwel! ; 3. Robert de Clntliall, the Chancellor, had BarlJng ; 4. 
'I'hnmas de Nnrthfleet had Drayton ; 5. Thomas de Cobham had Bemes 
and Wicham ; d, Henricus de Saracenis had Sandon with Norton and 
Tillingham ; 7. Walterus de Thorp had Sutton ; 8. Jobs 
Beauchamp ; 9. William de Chadelshunt had Nastok ; 
Buldock had Ilcybiigge. 

ir present subject to explaii 
ir of probation, by which Canons of St. Paul'* 
»ill be sufficient to remark, that of the Thirty 
isidcntiarics, that the number continually varied, 
more than three or four of the Canons quslified 
themselves for the office, and that during the thirteenth and fourteenth 
centuries the Residentiary Canons, or, as they wore also termed, the Stagiarii, 
were without exciption the Fimiarii of the Manors. In the year I28S, 
when the Deanery was vacant by the translation of Thomas de Ingoldes- 
thorp to the bishojirick of Rochester, Ralph de Baudake, then Archdeacon 
of Middlesex and Canon of the Church, had the lease of Sutton granted 
lo him, " ob meritum reiiidentiie ;" 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 
"juKla cursum residentiae," 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 Chnpter, was submitted to his option. The offire of Firmarius wai

Cathed i al, the pnctiee of grantbig manors to ium to olher persons than 
members of the Chorch haring fonnerlj led to inconTenlences, and en- 
dangered the propertj of the Chapter. In the earlier leases we find the 
Chapter taking sureties for the performance of the coTenants in the lease^ 
and in specific terms guarding against the assumption on the part of the 
hors of the lessee of an j hereditary right in the manor. 

The Firmarins on his acceptance of a lease, like the incoming tenant of 
modem times, had the particulars of the estate described to him, and the con- 
dition in whidi it was to be rendered, at the termination of the lease. It 
must howerer be borne in mind, that the state of the manors, as respected 
their cnhiTation, and thequalitj and quantity of the stock, was not uniform, 
and that accordingly there is considerable yariety in the coTenants of the 
leases. When po ss e ssi on was given to the Firmarius by some of the 
canons deputed for that purpose, an iuTcntory was taken of the effects upon 
the estate and a return made in writing to the C*hapter. (p. 130, line 4.) 
In the Inrentory (which always formed part of the lease) a minute de- 
scription was given of the mansion and its buildings ; the halla or aub, 
its length and breadth and height, distinguishing the height above the 
tie-beam from that below it ; the dnnus between the halla and the thalamus, 
the height, breadth, and length of each being similarly described, (p. 1 29, 
line 2.) A mansion of a different construction contained an aula, camera, 
and tresantia, et duae private domus. (p. 132, line I.) In another in- 
stance the hall had on the south ^'unum appenditium *' (p 136, line 18); 
attached to the dwdling-hoose were the coquina (kitchen), the bracinium 
(brewery), and the malthoose, 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 stodL in the leases of the twelfth century we 
find oxen valued each at 2t. 4i^ and at 3f. Horses, in one place (p. 122), at 
IQf., but in others at St. (p. 1 26), and also at 5#., 4«., and 3f . Sheep at 4^. ; 
pigs, 5if., StLf and I2d. ; a sow with nine pigs, I9d. ; goats at 4d. In six 
plough-teams, five of them having ten oxen and one only eight, the oxen 
were valued at 3t. 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 



x\iv 



INT80D0CTI0K. 



I, bowls, mills, hatcbets, and other implemeiita of the farm- 
house, omitted. The barns and granges were all carefully eounieraled, 
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 bam nas 55 feet long, but at Walton there was one 
of 160 feet; and, as the bams were received by the Firmarius more or 
less fill) uf 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 partB of theni 
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 be 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 aide of winter 
and OR 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 
(rebinalffi), 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. 1:^8 we read " Iradiderunt ei canooici liberam 
ecclesiam ab omni persona," without a parson or rector, and in that 
condition it was to be restored. In the Manor of Adutvesnaia there 
were three churches, at Walton, Kirkby, and Thorp ; and it was the COD- 
ditioo, upon which Richard the Archdeacon of Middlesex held them &bout 
the year 1150 (see page 132), that he should keep them free iu 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 ba 
found without any parson appointed to ihem. 

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

146) ; but as it appears, rather for the soke of preventing temporal 
Slid spiritual dues from being confounded, to the diminution of the latUr, 
than with the intention of securing the revenues to the officiating clergy. 
The Dean and Chapter kept the parsonages in iheir own hands, hut as is 
Btoted, they would appoint i vicar ; for whose support, if the altarage alone 
was sufficient, with that be 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, 
'hat lords of manors, being members of a cathedral, should appropriate 
lo 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 lordx 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, 
bud 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 
utanors, and that it was paid either directly to themselves by some Clericus, 
hom they were entrusted, or to Ihcir Firmariua. Thus Cadendon paid 
to the canons 20i. by the hands of Rodbert and Rodbert, clerks ; Eens- 
irth 20*. hy Augustine the Clerk ; Ardeleia was held by Hamo Clericus, 
lud paid three marks and a half ; Willesdon paid eight marks, hy Germanus 
the Clerk ; Tidwoldlntun paid 20^. by the hands of Hugo de London. 
Other Churches paid as follows ; Snndoo, which in the time of King Henry 
was not in the firma of the manor, and rendered nothing, paid five marks 
•Ao the canons by the hands of Richard the Canon, the Firroarins ; Tilling- 
onc mark, by the Finnarius ; Barling 20j. ; Nastock 60i., Drayton 
■id., Sutton IOj,, in the same manner. The Firmariua derived a reve- 
to himself from the following churches : From Waleton 20»., from

three of the Churches had a '' Persona," namely, Belchamp,

Wicham, and Runwell. But there was a " Sacerdos " ut IJemes. The I 
parson of Belchanip, however, paid a mark to the Finnarius, and the parson J 
of Wicham two shillings annually to the canons.* 

The privilpgea and emoluments of the Firmarii, as the leaseholders of tkaf 
manors, and representatives of the Chapter, being thus described, ' 
ceed to give an account of the " firma" which tbey rendered. 

Each *' firma " at St. Paul's was considered to be the " firma " or food 1 
for a single week. If a manor rendered several SnoFD in the course of tha'l 
year, it was sometimes ogretd that the payment should be wholly in money, J 
in which case the '' firma" was said to be '> in denariis"; but the finnsl 
generally consisted of produce as well as money. In the leases of tb« j 
twelfth century wc read, that Wicham was leased for life, on the condition of 
paying in the first year Iviiii. iiiie/ and one " parva firma panis et cervisise 
cum viirf. elemoainse," ond in the following year two similar firrocc, and with 
each fifty fihillings in money ; the firma to be rendered on the foast of St. J 
Martin and the Nativity of John the Baptist, being Sunday, or c 
Sunday preceding. In the lca!>c of Cadendon (p. 124) we read t 
" plenaria firma," but we have no trace in later docuraenls of the diatinciioii 
between the " plenaria " and the "parva firma." In thi) same lease we 
find mention of another sum of money, termed '' libcratio," which amounti'd 
to 1/. I3». id.; the full description of a firma being that in t 
of Sandon (p. 134), " firma, in pane et cervisia, et liberalione, et ele- i

written "' disanje ; " the former as " firniEe." A single dizena amounted to 
three marks (forty shillings) and seven pence, of which two mark?) and a 
half (U. la*. 4d.) «as for the liberatio, or money payments for wages, half 
a mark (6«. 8rf.) for the constantia pistrini et bracini, i. e. wood for the 
brewery and bakehouse, and the remaining seven pence for alnia. 

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, 1/. \3s. 4d. Thus the payment from Beau- 
champ, 60«. — 1/. 6/. Hd. ^= II. I3s. 4d. The payment from Barling, 
4(1*. — 6j. 8rf. = I L I3i. 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. IGO, that with every firma 
6i. Bd was paid " ad boscum." And it is to be remarked, that the pay- 
ments made by Beauchamp twice in the year, of \l. Cj. Sd. 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 11. I3t. Ad. 
paid every week to be " liberatio," that is, money paid in wages, by an entry 
in the Statuta Majors, (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

tionsy 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 Sundajrs, according to 
the agreement made with the Firmarius, and the extent of the manor. It 
is probable, that in the ancient adjustment of the Ormae, com was delivered 
every week throughout the year ; but at the end of the thirteenth century we 
find the firmae, which consisted of wheat, barley, and oats, delivered on no 
more than forty-five Sundays of the year, the delivery of the com 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 firmae 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 136 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 2s. 6d, and oats 20</. 
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 com 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 lai^ 
building, and its place is still identified by Paul's Bakehouse Yard. The 
brewery probably adjoined it. There was a mill for grinding the com, 
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 men sura Regps, but seven bushels, ad mensuram bracini — 



INTEODOCTrOS. xllx 

were ground for e&ch baking. Tlie number of lo&Teii produced was, in 
the nthole year, 40,266, and the average number from each baking 290. 
We learn from an entry in the first page of Book L., that Ailwardiis 
Hufus, one of the Cnnona (Archdeacon of Colcheater circa 1150), was 
Custos Bracini and Pistrini, and that in his time the greater loaf of the 
Canons of St. Paul's neighed seven marks, one ounce lesa, the lesser loaf 
half that weight; but that from the third year before the death of King 
Stephen (in 1154) 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. 
Tlie loaf of St. Paul's, the same document informs us, was larger than that 
of other religious houses. The loaf of the Canons Reffular of Holy Trinity, 
l/ondnn, 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 brewings at the Cathedral took place nearly twice every week. In 
1286 there were one hundred brewings in the year. The quantity of grain 
consumed, consisted of — 

175 quarters of barley, 
175 do. of wheat, 
720 do. of oats. 

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

We have thus seen in what manner, and for what purposes, the firmarii 
delivered at the Cathedral the weekly firmia of money and produce, and alio 
the method of its distribution. It appears, however, that the business of 
the mill, of the brewery, and the bikehouse, 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 25/. 19/. \d. In 1283 it was 24/. 6,. T^d. The particulars of 
the distiibution 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 
jpitury.

Such was the mode in which the ** firms,*' received in kind at St. PauFs 
at the end of the thirteenth century, were distributed, and there is reason 
to believe that, during the greater part of the following century, tbey 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 documenta« 
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 firmsB were no longer regularly distributed, the manors were unable to 



INTRODUCTION. IKi 

[provide the necessary gupplies, leases were granted for short periods to 
ether persons than niembera of the Chapter, and towards the end of the 
century the firma 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 
D 1181), in case of dearth or pestilence occurring in the manors, that 
itbe 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, 
tban tbey were accustomed to pay ; nor was any firraariua required to deliver 
any corn, but that which was of the growth of the manor, only it must 
be ihe best of that which was there grown. It was also ordained, that 
^good beer should be brewed for the Ilesidentiaries, and common beer for 
jother persons. 

i 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 firmas ; for during the Episcopate of Simon of 
, Sudbury, who was consecrated Bishop of London in 1S61, it was ordained 
.by an injunction, that a fine of \0s, should be inflicted upon the firmarlus, 
who failed to dii^liver Ihe firrote 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 
cnstom. 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 sllonance. The observance of this injunction was enforced 
under peril of the greater excommuoication. 

Causes, however, were in operation, to which we shall presently advert, 
which rendered even the fear of the greater ei communication Ineffective 
to produce perpetual obedience ; for it is recorded in the Statuta Minora 
(fol. 10:!), that on the 20 Oct. 1438, Robert Gilbert, Biahop of London, 
sate judicially in the Chapter-house, Reginald Kentwoode, ihe 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 Biahop, 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 he 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 irregiilaritiei, 
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 " firmai." 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 AUerthorp, a residentiary, at 
the annual rent of 40/., of which \Sl. 7s. Bd. represented the ancient 
firms of corn delivered to the brewery, and 211. \2s. Ad. the value of the 
manorial rights and the tithes ; the preamble of the lease stating, that the 
manor naa granted on these terms, as well because " propter insuflicientiam 
Buam ad nupportationem onerum ab antique impositorum eidem sufficere 
non valebit," as " propter alias causas veras ac legitimas tunc assignatas et 
capitulariter approbatas." In 1421 a departure was made from the ancient

practice of limiling the leases to members of the Cathedral, and a leaK for 
five years waa granted to Reginald Malyns esquire, of the family of the 
De Malyas, who were lords of the adjacent village of Theydon Mount. 
The rent was only 36/. 13*, 4d., but the Chapter reserved to themselves, 
what we should now terra 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 other; 
but in 1429, and to the year 1499, the mano 
more leased to residentiaries only, at the din 
which 1 1 1. 13f. 4d. instead of 18/. 7j. 8d. s

liiiished rent of 33/. 6t. 8ii., of 



I payable to the 
e of the estate had 



brenery ; a clear indication that the agricultural produc 
pro portion ably diminished in value. 

It cannot be doubled, thatthe condition of the landowners throughout the 
kingdom was materially affected by the wars of the Uoses, 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 praedial services in which the wealth of the Lord consisted. 
The decay, however, of prajdial 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, commutatiuD 
of services for fixed money payments, changes in the population, and the 
progress of commerce and trade, which gradually raised up a class of 
jeomen, who occupied a middle and independent position between the lord 
of the manor and his customary tenants. 

Of the aecumulaliim 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 Duraut, whose ancestor in 1 222 possessed only one 
virgale 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 >iervice. 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 grontb 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 raoat ancient form of the manorial system it is probable, that all 
the proRts of the lords, except the landgafol, which was a money payment, 
were derived from the labour of the tenants and from the coatributions of 
produce paid in kind; the demesne laada 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 lorda 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 l«naDts 
themselves by such payments from the personal performance 
of the services. That a change might lake place in the value of money, 
and reduce these payments to a noniitial 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, waa 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 
to the lord into money payments became more frequent, 
of which the phrase, so constantly occurring, "pro oroni aervicio," 
is abundant proof. The direction also, which is given in Fieta ii. 78 
to the Propositus, not only to compute with the fialllvus once a-week 
what customary labour was due, and to mark on the tally the day's work

performed, but also to look after the arrears of labour, and if possible to 
receifo money in lieu of them for the augmentation of the rent, is a further 

evidence of the readiness of the lajidlord to receive money in lieu of labour. 
It is evident, that the constant progress of a system of commutations 
would at lost leave the lord of the manor in the condition of the landlord of 
OUT own times, who must hire but cannot comroand labour. That the in- 
convenience of having commuted labour for money was at last sensibly felt 
by the landed proprietors, appears from the Slatute of Labourers, 23 Ed. III. 
1349: prior to which time changes had taken place, which brought into 
nistence a body of persons resembling the labourers of the present da? j 
, men, who labour for their subsistence, but who iire 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 prxdial services of 
Iheir tenants; but when the pestilence of 134!>, alluded to in the Statute, 
ta.d 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 
136B, which had the twofold object, Rrst, of compelling every ablebodied 
man, who was not hired, to hire himself to the master, who should demand 
id secondly, of limiting the amount of the wages, which be 



The Manors, the lords of which had commuted the prsedial si 
their tenants for money payments, would be those in which the free 
labourers moat abounded, and in which the owner of the land was moat de- 
pendent upon that class, for the means of cultivating the soil ; but when the 
EJlatute 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 bad 
produced a new order of landowners, the performance of Villain at 
become odious or inconvenient, and the Villains withdrew the 

hich were due to their lords. The firat indication which the Statutes 

the Realm contain of this change in the behaviour of the Villains or cus- 
toniary tenants, is in the Statute of I Richard IL a.d. 1377, from which it 
appears that the" Villaios,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 cxemplificatioua

from Domesday of the Manors and Villes in which they dwelt, and by wrong 
interpretation of those exempli ti cations, claimed to be quit and discharged of 
all manner of service, either of their body or of their lands, and would tulTer 
no distress or other course of justice to be taken against them; the 
Villains aiding their maintainers, by threatening the officers of their lordi 
wilh peril to life and limb, as well ax by open assemblies and by confede. 
racies to support each other." It is manifest, that the persons designated ic 
the Sta.tule, as Counsellors, Maintainera, and Abettors, were men of statioc 
fts well as substance : the process by which they became connected with 
the Vill.iins, being, as is expressed in the Statute, " the taking hire and 
profit of the Villains and land-tenants." Reference was made to Dumes- 
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 loll in 
all the markets of the kingdom ;| 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 Deme»ie, and thus he was enabled to set at nought the power 
of the court of other manors, in which he held land and wis 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 
deme&nc. The supposition that the immunities of such tenancy were avail-

kb1« against the lords of other manora, 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 dei gem, aa well 
of esquires as of others, giving them hats and livei-ies, but not at their own 
cost: the value, or twice the value, being given by those persons " for the

the aame statute, consisted in protection against legal claims upon their 
lands and tenements, their goods and chattels.

D mention of the personal labour, which in 1340 had been due. 
We have now brought our observations to a close : Ihey 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 
succeeding to the Norman Conquest, the original character 
lures, 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 
Tolume 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 
' C&thedrals, and to a closer study of the chartularies and lieger-books of the 
Wnveutual bodies, which are deposited in our public libraries, or are to be 
tund among'it the records of the Augmentation Office. It is not a matter 
mere antiquarian curiosity, what were the laws of Ina or of Alfred, or 
s society was constituted and justice administered under the Anglo-Saxon 
ind Anglo-Norman kings, for we may safely affirm, that without the know- 
5 of the principles and practices of those remote ages, the Common 
er of the present day will often find himself at fnult, not merely for the 
lition of a term or the meaning of a word, but even for a principle, upon

duties. Neither is English history limited to the period which hss passed sioM 
the RefurmatioQ, or since the Coocjuest ; it comprehends the reigns of the 
Anglo-Saxon kings ; and, as the early occupation of the " litus Sazonicum " 
in our Bouthern 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 haa 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 whieh 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 " Roluli" are copies of returns 
made lo 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 ditFerent. The object of the earlier inquisition was to ascertain the 
n 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 — Obcri Tenentes, Villani, Cotarii, and Servi ; but in some places

with varied titles, such as Liberi Sokmanni, Custum&rii, Consuetudinarii, 
Operarii, Coterelli, Cotagiarii, Servi, Socomanni, Nadvi, Bondagii, &c. The 
Kottili 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, Cotariii and Servi, on each estate, and the sum of 
the rents paid.

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 foanded, 
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 £dw. I. of the condition of the manors 
in Gwe counties, Bedford, Buckingham, Cambridge, Huntingdon, and 
Oxford, and which form the latter part of vol. ii. of the Rotuli Hon-

Hida^ — The hide generally contained 120 acres, • 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 




listed of 60 acres • (I. 145), at Wicham of 34 (I. 97), at Nastok of 
20 (p. 81), and at Drayton of 16 (p. 99). The acre consiated of 160 
■quare percbei, the perch being 16} feet. There was aUo a variation in 
the length of the perch. The " parva pertica" is mentioned at p. 80, 
and is prohahly 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 

Defendilteversut Regempro decern Hidit. — "Satisfies the royal demand 
for hidnge, by paying for ten hides." The chroniclers relate several in- 
stances of hidage taken by the Anglo-Norman Kings ; there is, bowefer, 
reaiJOD to believe that it was an annual, as nell as an occasional tax, and 
that it «aa the excessive amount of the demand, or the cause uf it) 
which drew the attention of the chroniclers to these particular exer- 
cise» of the royal prerogative. In the Articles of Inquisition of 1181 
(see p. 112), the question, "Pro quot hidis unaquseque villa se de- 
feiideret tempore Regis Henrici, tempore W'U'i Decani, versus r^fera," is 
followed immediately by this, " Quid tunc Gscalibus commodis appeaden* 
tur/>sr annum vicecomiti .a. vel hundred! prieposilo." In.122:^ 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 Huadredorum 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 
Vicecomitea were accustomed to repair the bridge at Cambridge by levying 
" pontage " or ■■ brigbote " on every hide of land, which was liable to geld.

Canons of St. Paul's to assart land at Chingeford and at Heybridge bad

Praler daai Prehendai. — The prebends here mentioned are those of 
CadingtoD 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 
cilt. (ib. fol. 36), together with the Herifordshire 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 " Prsebenda," or "Pre- 
bends," means anything given for support and maintenance. All the thirty 
Canons of St. Paul's have home 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 aolins, held by that body in the last of Estrede, and 

I other places, that in the time of the Confessor the " prebenda " had been 
" communes," and that ihey had been divided amongst the individual mem- 

' bers by the Bishop of Bayeux. Other lands, however, belonging to the 
game body had been held, in the time of the Confessor, in separate pre- 

I bends, and had descended from father to son, the Abbot of St. Augustine's 
holding also lands belonging to that body " in priebenda," which had been 
similarly held by his predecessor.

lants who held land* by charter, were g:enerally exempt from the duty of 
attendance at the County and Iluodied courls, here termed " Secla." The 
esemptioa, however, wait limited to the DesD and Chapler, 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 proSt also, the tenant* 
making certain payments at that time. One example in support of thU 
■tatement may suffice, being one of many particulars in the inquisition of the 

(manorof Brehull, inco. Buck^. (39 Hen. III.) The jurors' answer is, 
" Dicimua quod Priorissa de Stotleye solebat faccre sectam Curie Domini

is written " la verthe " and " laverthe." Work of a similar chi 
called '■ bcnerthe " and " gaveletlbe " or "gave hertbe." (I. 99 h.) (Se* 
Wilkins and Du Cange.) The distinction between " Uverthe 
" benertbe " consisted in the labour of ploughing being performed either 
with food from the lord, or without it. In the inquisition of Kens-

states that this officer was elected by the Villata. Accordingly we read 
(1. lOG), that at Belchamp all the Custumarii elected ibe Prepoaitus, 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

year, but depended upon the season. The Precariffi Canjcaram, for 
ploughing, were in winter or sprinji;, the Precariae in autumn were for 
the gathering in the crops. At these times ihe lord frequently found 
food for the labourers, but there was no uniform practice. Somelimet 
the Precariae ore termed " sicc»," or dry, as contrasted with the Prec»n» 
"cum cerviaia," at which beer was allowed. In the inquisition of Ardley 
(I. 1 15) we find a " Precaria ad cervisiaro," and alao a " Precaria ad aquam." 
At the former, the allowance for two men was, at the first meal, porridga 
of beans or peas, and Iwo loaves, one of them, white and sufficient for two 
meals, the other, a small loaf de mixtilione (masjin bread, of wheal 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, 
Jn the " Precaria ad aquam " the allowance was two great loaves, of the aiM 
ihirty-two to a quarter, porridge as before, si^ herrings, one piece of soma 
olher fish, and water. At Belcbamp (1. 101 ) the tenant, who had provided 
two men to labour, and who had two meals aday, went to supper at (hv 
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 h&d 
three meals during the day, and their wives joined them at supper. In tl» 
Rotuli Hundredorum these Precarise are very frequently described. 

Ad Vincula.— The abbrevialed appellation of the festival of St. Peter

Page G. Garaavese. — A word used at a later period as synonymous wi 
pannagium — the fee for permission to feed swine in the woods. In 
document of the date of 1330, quoted by Ducange from Spelman, t 
word is written Grasanec, the root of which is probably the Anglo-Saxon 
««n, or grass. In the R. 8. P. (Laws of England, vol. i. p, 432), mentios, 
is made of a jepr-rpyn, " porcuB herbagii," as given yearly by the Ge*- 
neate, or Vlllanus to his Lord. In the Inquisition of BerneG (I. 131 b)t 
we find the word Garsavese expressing the annual payment given for pannagi' 
of pigs; andBlso(I. 132 b) the remarkable term, "avesabit porcos." It u 
doubtful whether the meaning of the word Garsnvese is to be limited to, 
Ihe pannage of swine. At p. 51 we have an account of the payments dm 
at Waletone for the pasture of sheep, animalia, horses, and pigB, all of 
which appear to be included under " Garsavese," the concluding words bein^

rO THE BT.'PAUL*8 DOMBSDAT, A.D. 1^22. IxiX 

in 1279 (I. 119 b) there were eight tenants, each of them paying 2irf. for 
GaraaTese, i.e. half the sum here mentioned as payable from each Virgate, 
the land having been subdivided. 

Langable. — It is remarkable that the psymenta of Langable, Paanuge, 
and Garsavese are here mentioned together, as in the R. S. P. landgavol 
and jepf-fpyn follow each other. I.andgahle appears to have been a very 
ancient payment- It is defined in Spelman's Glossary to be a tribute or 
predial rent of Irf. 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 7\d- per virgate. At 
Beauchamp it amounted to twice that sum, ]5cl. fp. 33). At Heybridge 
each virgate appears to have paid 2\d. (page 56). It was due at Michael- 
mas, and the whole sum in 1279 amounted to 2i. Gd. (I. 89). At Nastok 
the sum which the nalivi holding virgatea paid as Landgable was 5d. 
and there were eight such virgatea (1.76). In the R. S. P. the non- 
pajrment of Landgavol is mentioned, as distinguishing the Cotsetle from 
the Geneate or Villanus. (Laws of England, L 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, paunt being the name for the produce of wood, such as acorns, 
beech, or mast, Ac, but the root is most probably the Latin Paatut. In 
the ■' R. S. P." the word is written " Pastinagiura," 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 buscia 
dotnini, ducuntur die S'cti Martini Epiacopi ad aulam, et pannsgium dant 
(pneter sues et porcellos) et taxantur per duos liberoa homines et duos 
custumarios, preeter sues et porcellos laclantes.'' 

Woodailver. — 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-toads from 

Foddtrcorn. — A payment of oats in kind, This payment was made at

Page 17. Strica — Hoppa. — It is to be obaerved that the holders of ten 
acres are here mentioned as paying a Strike of oats, and the holders of five

of the "hoppa" The "strike" is said to be a bushel (see Johnson's 
Dictionary), but since it is found that in 1279 (I. 1-12) the ten-acre men 
of this Manor paid two bushels of oals, and the five-acre men one, we 
r ttience conclude that the " strike " at Sandon was two bushels.

described by Lambard as the Demesne of the lord, and the Land of the

or to situation, fr<»n the ordiuary demesne and tenants* lands. The ^ Inlaiida»**

In the Rot. Hundred, of Essex (p. 161) the Bishop of London is stated to 
hare withdrawn the suit of two men in Tollesbury who were accustomed 
to attend the toum of the sheriff, aod 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 Jhru 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 surrey of 1181 (seepage 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 precarix, it would appear that, since the lord 
lost little by their non-attendance, forfeiture was not incurred.

the Hall, one white loaf, one cooked diih (ferculum cuquinm), and a gallon 
of ale ; and if any damage were done, he that watched was to make it good, 
unless he bad raised the hue and cry for the vilbge 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."

Wallbnm being charged with having erected a gallows, (not having had one in 
his Manor of Alrichseye (Arlesy, in ibe county of Bedford), prior to the 
lastcircuit of the Justices in Eyre,) replied; that il iras true, that rohberabad 
been very often condfinned in bis court and banged on the galluws of hi*

one Theobald, a robber, was taken " cum manu opere " (with the goods in

and that under tbo cover of the Royal Charter, which allowed him " In- 
fangeuethef," he (hen first erected a gallows aAer the last circuit, aa it wal 
lawful for him to do; and further, that robbers, who bad 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. PauVs. it was pleaded (p. 476j that ibe Canons of St. Paul'* 
possessed the right of Infangenethef, with other privileges, in all their 
manors in the county of Middlesex, hut that they had no gallows, except 
in Finsbury ; and that, when any of the men of their Villas were Uken, 
iheir twenty-two hides were convened to pass the judgment upon him, " Ad

tenants at Campes, in the county of Cambridge, holding Mollond. Land of

thii character was also held by tenants of the St. Paul's manors Wicham 
anii 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 ha^e the 
moiety of such land for dower (is long as she remained a widow, and the 
whole of the customary land, but morrving 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 aucceasionem turn 
pertinentiis :" we meet also with this description "terra de werkloiid 
cum pertinentiis per succession em ;" arid also "terra cum pertinentiis de 
mollond et werklond per suecessiuncm." There were eighteen such tenant* 
of Mollond. Mollond and Werklond were, however, different. The services 
of Ihe 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 duplicahunt redditum." ([. 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 bo 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.

Statutum de Pistoribua, " carnes porciuas superaeDnuataa," — 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 ratten pasture, such as Is now found on the coast of Essex upon 
the "saltings;" which are formed by the gradual accumutatlon of silt, and 
which require a length of time to become solid before the; are inclosed and

" 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 accouat 
is given in 1. 1 4 1 , " 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.

mentioned were payable to the Lord, so also was the Wardpenny. (Note^ 
p. 34, Vtgitahit 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 namei 
of the tenants from whom Ihe Wardpenny was due are given at p. 68.

Page 58, Cum sex hiiiit trium tolandarum. — From the deseriptioo

dimension than the ordinary hide. It was there conjectured, that Um 
Solanda roiglil represent the Kentish soliraus of 180 acres, and be com] 
of two hides of 00 acres eacb. The word " Solanda " in the InqnisitioBt,] 
of Tillinghara and of Drayton in 1181 (pages 142, 145). and in that rfj 
Drayton in 1279(1. 128), is written " Scolanda " and •' Scholanda." At'

It is however there particularly stated, that the Scholand contained one 
bide of four virgates or 64 acres; the virgale of Drayton containing only 
16 acres; and thus the smallness of thia hide of Scholar da at Drayton 
confirms the conjecture, that hides in Solanda or Scholanda were generally 
lesa than the ordinary hide.

giare, debet desiccare xx partitos, et si cum caruca ad waterfurgiandum 
(jtc) tunc debet desiccate x. partitos." The pariiti appear to be the 
sellionts, and ten openings with the plough were accounted equal to twenty 
made by the spade. 

Page 67- Acram unam Gartacram. — It appears from a passage in the 
Rotuli Hundred, p. 868, "arabit duos seliones, qui vocautur grasacre," 
that the Grasacre consisted of two strips or ridges, called " Balks."

IZXX VOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS 

this list, that the burden of the Wardpenny (mentioned at p. 64 as annually 
payable by the manor to the bailiff of the hundred of Reilee), was borne by 
those tenants in particular, who held *' terras operarias/' in most instances, 
of half a virgate ; and that the payment was chargeable upon the land, and 
not upon the persons, the payment being continued though the lands by 
escheat became attached to the demesne. A similar list is found at p. 85 of 
eight persons of the manor of Nastok, who paid 2d. each towards the 16<f. 
which was due to the court of the hundred at Hocktide. Of these ei||rht 
persons four were Libere Tenentes, other three Nativi, the Libere Tenentes 
probably paying the Wardpenny, as holding lands formerly belongring 
to persons of the latter clans. 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 2<f. each as Ward- 
penny, together with notice of a Wardpenny of a different character, re- 
sembling that paid to the Bercarius at Hemes, p. 105, for the custody of 
sheep in the common pasture. <* Quilibet habens averia super temiras 
Domini ad valentiam xxx' 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 (nc) summonitionem de Vig^lia, et erit quietus 
pro ftummonitionibus 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 ** prsBsen- 
tare quandam Wardam in quodam baculo qui vocatur Wardestaf.'* This 
service was due at the Hundred Court. But when the View of Francplege

by the Bailiff of the Hundred, and the Bailiff of the Manor, then, according 
to ancient cuBtom, ten pence was paid for W&rdpenny.

furnished one of the four men who with the Pnepositus attended at the

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. 

Falcahit 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 5(f., and a cheesemold, first filled with salt, and afterwards with 
oatmeal.

munia pastune," and of the law respecting it, occupies three chapters of the 
fourth book of Bracton. The right of communia 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 " peasona," 

Inquuitia Jacla anno aecundn post Iramlalionem Beati T/iomre. — 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 inquisilion was begun ; but the 
visit of the Dean and the Treasurer to Chingford must have taken place 
prior to 7 J.ily, 1222. 

Per Robertum Decanum, &c. — Robert de Watford was Dean from the 
year 1218 to 1-228. Henry the Chancellor was Henry de Comhill ; he 
became Chancellor in 1217, and Dean in 1234. Peter the Treasurer here 
mentioned as the " firmarius " was Peter de Sancta Maria : he was Pre- 
bendary of Isledon.

132, 187, 146, and in some casea as "plumhns super furnaeem." The text, 
as it Btaiids, 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 
" Balinore dominum, et aquam portare, et calefacere ad idem." 

Page 92. Duasjirmas plenai. — The "plena firma" is distinguished from 

the " brcvis firma" which is mentioned at p. 122 as payable in 1150 from 

le manor of Wicham ; but the relative proportions of the two firma) are not

discoverable. The number of firmao payable from each manor varied v".- 
cording to its extent. (See IntroduclioD, p. xxnii.) In later times each 
firma contained Ifi quarters of wheat, 16 quarters of oats, and three quarters 
of barley.

Page 103. Bernet. — This manor is described Id the Exchequer Domes-

from them of ploughing a certain quantity of the Archbishop's land "ad 
cibum in curia archiepiscopi," and of attending the ** precariffi " of the 
Archbishop, illustrate the position, that the performance of prtedial services 
does not imply degradation in condition.

there is a clause respecting improvements and dilapidations, which iUustra(«a 
the allusion here made to the " melioratio " and " deterioratio " of the 
buildings. " Et quicquid metiorationis iaventum fuerit tunc ibidem la

NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS 

OF THB FRAGMENT OF 

THE DOMESDAY OF RADULPHUS DE DICETO IN 1181. 

This MS. for the transcriplion of which the Editor is indebted to the 
Rev. H. O. Cox, Under-Librarian of the Bodleian, contains only two leayes, 
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 ] 09. Annus ah Incamatione, S^c, — 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 fiither's 
lifetime, on the 14th June, 1170, being then fifteen years of age. He 
died at Castle Mattel, in Turenne, in 1182 ; his father died in 1 189. 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. Herehertiu Cantuariensis Archidiaconus. — This person 
was probably Herebertus Pauper, who in 1194 was consecrated to the 
see of Salisbury. Godwin de Prsesulibus, p. 342. 

RohertuM 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, sumamed Scriba, 
was also a Canon of St. Paul's at the time of this Inquisition. 




Rieardiu Huffui. — A Canon and Prebendary of Twyford, who, in the 
time of Hugo de Marini the Dean, became the Firmarius of Betchamp 
(See the Lease, p. 188), Hia surname RuffuB distinguishes him from 
Richard the Archdeacon, who had also held the lease of that manor, but 
who was not Archdeacon of Essex later than 1 1613. New court, in bis 
Repertorium, haa 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 1 ii'i, the name of Matilda occurs as " relicta 
Ricardi Ruffi," and as holding au acre of land. 
r Odo de Dammartmo. — This person does not appear to have been a 
canon. The family, of which he was 8 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. 

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

Nicholas LondontKniia Archidiaconut. — In the List of the Prebendaries 
of Oigate, this Nicholas is mentioned as being the son of Nicholas Croce- 
mannus, the former prebendary.

in the winter in the month of January. That in 12^2 appears to have 
taken place at Midsummer. In 1^79 the progress began on the 19th Sept. 
at Naitock, and ended at Chiawick on the 24th Oct. : more places were then 
visited, and the whole time occupied thirty-six days instead of twenty-two.

Roberlus persona tenet. — The lands of this Robert Persona were held 
(the stanwinesland eitcepted) in 1222 by Ricardus de Pet«wineahale ; and 
subsequently by Nicholas de Petewineabale ; and in 1279 by Nicholas his 
son. In 1240, another member of the family, William de Pet«winesball, 
held a messuage formerly held by Ricbard. It is probable that Robertus 
Persona was the ancestor of the family. We learn from I. 101, that, prior to 
127», Nicholas, the son of Nicholas, bad sold all his land hut seven or 
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.

tioned in 1222 as held by William the son of Absolon at the same rent,

Pag^]17. liti tenent terrcu operarias. — 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 g^rossus to 
his widow Alicia. Robert the son of Wlurinus was still alive ; and his son 
had become a tenant. 



t 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 
t the teoants of certain lands of the demesne termed ''inlands" to the amount 
I of one-half of the former rent, illustrates the statement in the Introduction 
I ^p. viii.), that increase of rent was to be obtained hy the lords of manors 
I only for newly inclosed lands, or for lands belonging to the demesne. 

These tenants had held their lands " sine auctoritate capiluli," thnt is, at 
e will of the Grmarius, and it is to be remorked, that the proposal to increase 
e rent came from the tenants thempelves, " infrascripti tenentca augmenlaTe- 
I mint reddilum aBsisum," on the condition that they should bold under the 
iter, " ut auctoritas capituli interveniret." It is probable, thai thus 
I loldiDg of the chapter, they acquired a permanent and hereditary right In 
I the land ; the survey of Runweil in l'22i (pp. 70, 71) containing a record 
1 of a similar increase in the rent of lands in the demesne, with the addiUon 
L " de cremento per capituliiro, ut sit perpetuum." 

The number of the tenants in this document is 31. In ten instances

NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE 
LEASES OF THE MANORS OF ST. PAULAS DURING THE 

TWELFTH CENTURY, pp. 122—139. 

Of these documents, seventeen in number, sixteen relate to the manors 
of Wicham, Cadendun, Runwell, Adulvesnasa, Barling, Bemes, Kens- 
wurth, I3elchamp, 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 Chartaa 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. Hcec est conventus inter capitulum , . , et jRoberiumJiUum 
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. W^hether 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 reddere Rohertus; and p. 123, Debet Ailwinus reddere. — 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.

^H^ Stxdectm bovet quemguf pradalum ifcHi d. — The prices, which are 
affixed to tlie different kinds of live stock in these leasesj being those 
payable at the end of the lease, may be assumed to represent Iheir ordinary 
Talue ; oxen and horses being worth 3». ; sheep 3(/., Ad., and 5rf. ; and 
goats id.; boars and sows from %d. to lid.; pigs, varying according to 
their size and age, from a penny for a ^sucking-pig, to Ad., &d.,Bd.,anA \id. 
We have to remark, that the lowest prices for horses and oxen are 
those fixed in this Icose to Robert the son of Ailwin, the horses being 
valued at 2s. &d. instead of As., and the oxen at 2s. Ad., the values being 
reduced from those in the lease held by his father. A Roat also in the 
yg_ father's lease was valued at Grf., but in the son's at 4d. The prices of the 
H stock in the lease of Sandun (p. 131), granted in 1 155, are interesting, as 
W' allowing n great variety in the v.ilues of the horses on that manor ; the careta- 
riui equus being worth 6j. id , olhers 5s., As , and 'is There wat a similar 
difference in the value of oxen of 5s. Ad , 5s., and 3f. The two leases 
of Ardele (pp. 135, 13G), (the first of ivhich was granted in 1141), show 
also similar differences of value ; in the former, horses and oxen were 
valued at 3f. : but in the latter, the horses were valued at 3s. and 6s., the 
oxen at St. and 2s. 

Cum oil. denai'iis elemosintr. — This sum was received every week by 
the Almoner: it was probably applied, not to the poor generally, but to 
the ■* pneri elemosinarise," or chorister*, as they were afterwards termed. 

Tripes euin mammola. — A three-l^ged stool with a hand-mill. In the 
inventory of Wicham, in 127!) (I. 97), the word is " mola manualis." 

Orrtum. — The dimensions here given of the height from the floor to 
the principal beam {trabes); from the principal to the ridga (festum); 
tbe lateral distance between the pillars (posies) i the breadth of the 
wing or aisle (aln); and the whole length, with the hipped bays or 
lean-to at the end of the barn (num culnciis), exhibit the entire structure 
of ibe barn.

guaranteed to protect the rights of the villa against the usual demands of the 
County (see page 123), so here there was an engagement lo defend the Uke 
right against the King, and specially against penalties for " sarlum," or 
breaking up forest land. The influence of Richard the Archdeacon with 
the Chapter must have been powerful lo 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 wilh the tenants ai 
respected rents, are proofs, that the taking the lease was really a com- 
mercial speculation, 

Reddet in die annivertarii ejus. — A payment for an ohil on the anni- 
versary of his death and the performance of a mass, 

AdulveinaMa. — Tliis eitensive manor comprised a large district in the 
hundred of Tcndring and county of Essex, containing three parisbesi 
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 firmte 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 Ulmgton, held the lease (prior to 1304) the 
annual rent paid by him for the Manor and the tithes was 104/. in quarterly 
payments. (1. 1(17.) 

Sine omnimoda heTedilnte. — A provision, combined with those which 
follow, barring the heirs of the lessee from any chiim of possession. That 



ttb wu not an unnecessary precaution, is shown by proceedings wbich took 

n46Hen.llI.macause before the Justices Id Eyre, at Chelmsford, in 

irhich Richard de Tilbury brought an ejectment against the then Firmarius 

F the Manor and Church of Titlingham, alleging that he was the grand- 

I and heir of [ticbard de Tillingham his grandfather, who had died 
iinezed in fee of the premises ; the fact being, that this Richard had no 
Bi«tber interest in the premiaes, except that aa hia father and uncle were the 
ii of the Manor, and his uncle also Firmarius of the Church under 

i Chapter ; he himself was born in the Manor Houi'e. The Dean and 
Chapter appeared lu answer in behalf of iheir let nt, and the case went to 
I jury ; the verdict was iu favour of the Chapter, and Richard de Tilbury 
was " in misericordia pro falso clamore." (Book 1. fol. 73b.) 

Page 126. Imp/emenlum. — The term " implementum " appears, from 
the expression ''implemenlura bladi de melioH blado," to have a particular 
rrference to produce. At page 138 we find ■' instauramenta," and also 
" im piemen ta." Possibly the quantities of com, which were part of the 
stock, were called "implementa," as filling prescribed portions of the hams. 

In coatlanliu, i.e. (see pp. 129, 132, "pistrini et bracini") Constantis, 
expensiB; Du Cangc. — Under the term " constantiffi" it would seem, that 
QOt 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 
finna Sn. Sd. for wood and 3j. 1 Od. for " liberatio famulorum." 

Ad eommunilatem. — The chapter was termed " Communitas ; " the 
cammon fund divisible among them, " Communia." 

Page 127. Secepti sunlfralrea, iic. — These persons were most pro- 
bably not received as Canons, but onlv admitted to the privilege of " Frater- 
nity " (see Du Cange and Hoffman in voce), as is shewn by the expression, 
"taro bciieficiis quam orationibus." This phrase, as denoting the advantage 
of masses and of prayers, occurs in a charier of the middle of the thirteenth 
century, now in the archives of St. Paul's, which (after reciting ihat Alexander 
the cordwfliner and Itoysia his wife had given to the Church of St. 
Augustine at the gale 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 extensiou of the church and the erection of an 
altar to the Virgin) further states; that in return for this gift the Hector 
of the church, with the consent of the Dean and Chapter, had agreed " quod

' wards constituted the tno prebends of Cadington was at that lime held by the 

Canons, but was not yet made "prebendil." (See note, '' Preeter duas prae- 

bendas," p Ixiii.) With reaped to the property at Tuiferd here mentioned 

it is interealiii^ 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 Sret prebendary of 

Twyford. The property was suUsequently held for a few years, as we 

learn from this charter, by Reynerus, and waa then surrendered by him to 

the Chapter in favour of Walter de Cranford and bis daughter. The rent 

payable is remarkable, aa conaiating of five shillings in money, and also the 

Ltithes of com, sheep, and goats. Twenty shillings — a sum equal to four 

money-rent — was al^o to be paid at the death of the sur- 

ing tenant as an obit, on the interment of his or her body at the 

trihedral. 

Page 128. De Kemwurda. — This manor, though it joined Cadington, 
r paid its rent in " firmffi," but,a3 the manor of Edulvcsnasa, in money. 
The terms of the lease are remarkable, if the words " sic deioceps " 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 5^, that of the second Gl., oi the 
third It., of the fourth 8/, of the fifth, sixth, and seventh 10/., reverting 
■gain at the beginning of the second seven years to 5/. In IS79 the rent 
of the manor was £20 13x. id., and the value of the church twenty-eight

appears, that on bis death Richard the Archdeacon of Essex bought the 
lease of that manor by paying 20 marcs " in gersumara." From tbu 
account here given of his conduct in bargaining with the Chapter to hold 
Belchamp nith Edulvesnasa, and extorting their consent to the non-fulfil- 
ment on his part of s1l the conditions on which he obtained the two manors, 
it would seem that be was not a favourite amongst his brethren. He is sup- 
posed to have been archdeacon 1 142 to 1 168. He appears to have been 
a different person from Ricardus Ruffui, who, a few years later, at the time 
of the inquisition of Ralph de Diceto in 1 161 (see page 1 1 I), 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 Uunwell, ivitb a rooiety of the manor of Saudone. 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 l.W.)

were the ecclesiastical divisions of the great manor of Edulvesnasa in 1181 
(see pp. 148, 149). In the inquisition of 1222 the Hidarii of Kirkby and 
Horlock are enumerated together, and only one Ilorlock mentioned. A 
change appears to have been afterwards made in the duty of repairing 
buildings here mentioned- At the time of granting this lease ihu tenant! 
were to repair the four houses of the court, but not the great bam ; wbereaa 
in 1222 the granarium of Waleton was to be repaired with limber felled, 
and prepared, and carried by them, and the oi house, " bovaria," (but not 
its lean to, " culacium,") made at their own cost of labour. (See p. -18.)

iinent 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 51, 
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. 

Acree de wareiOf rehinatee, faldatee^ seminatee. — 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 ''rebinatao, faldatae, seminatse," shew the actual 
condition of the fallow or wareta; part was rehinata^ twice ploughed 
(Du Cange) ; another part faldatoy folded with sheep for manure ; and 
another seminatay sown; the remainder was still wareta^ or fallow. At 
p. 133, **Juldicium et^/»mictum,** folding and manure, are mentioned in con- 
junction with the '< seisio waretata."

of the hall on the west, and also a great chamber with a trisantia at the

of the Finnarii being unable, or finally tbe 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 Radnlfus 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 XTi#., 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)

NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE INQUISITION OF 
THE MANORS OF ST. PAUL'S IN 1181, pp. 140—152. 

k 

r The whole of this loquUition, which compnKS the Churches as well as 
ibe Manors of the Cathedral, has generally been assigned to the year 1181, 
and considered as pari of the Inquisition of Itadulfus de Diceto of that year 
already noticed. That part of it nhlch relates to the Manors (from page 
140 to the words " sumaia dcnariorum 1. sol." in page 146,) is extracted 
from Book L. of which volume it occupies the 77th and 78th foliot; 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 iDqiiieition, which relates to the 
Churches (commencing at page 146 with the words '' Post maneriorum in- 
quisitioncm," and ending at page 152), does uot follow consecutively in 
Book L. Other matter intervenes, occupying folio 79, whilst folio 80, 
though ruled for writing, is wholly blank, the words " Post maneriorum 
inquisitionem " occupying the first line of folio 61, 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 lime of Henry II. and subsequent lo 1170, when 
Robert Mantell became the Sheriff of Essex,) was prior to the Inquisition 
of Manors and Churches in 1 181, — a conjecture forced upon us by 
the mention in this Inquisition of several persons, as Firmarti of manon,

who had ceased to be Firmarii in 1 181, such as Odo the Firmarius of Lave- 
hale (p. 141), Bartholomeus & Gaufridus of Wycham (p. 142), WiUielmus 
de OcchynduD of Edulvesnase (ib.), Ailmarus of Chingford (p. 144), and 
Theodoric of Drayton (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 1 10 — \\'2. 

Page 140. Tempore Regis Henrici primi. — The reign of Henry I. as 
synchronising with the deanship of WiUielmus (from 1111 to 1 138), is here 
mentioned as the period, at which each manor was rated t^ 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 reddehat 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 2$. per hide, Ardley and Luvehale at 3$. 4(1., Sandon 
at 4s. 

Duos marcas vel panem unius hehdomada ad libiium Jirmat^i, — 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/. 6s. Sd. 
In the year 1 283 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 4s, 6d. per quarter. 



OF THE INQUISITION OF THE MANORS A.l). 1181. ClH 

Whenever llie price of the loaf exceeded three-eighlha of a penny, and 
wheat enceeded 2*. Srf, per quarter, it was to the ad?Bntage of the I'lrmarius 
to pay in kind. On referring to the " AasiaB jianis 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. 

Eraltalio Sanctm Crucu. — September the fourteenth. The festivals 
of the first, eighth, fourlecnth, twenty-first, and twenty-ninth days of 
September, are thus described in the Calendar of the " Preces Privata;,"

duction, p. IX. 

Poleril liominus paiiert ad operalionem. — 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 Itunuell (p. 12.^) the Chapter undertook to confirm any agreements, 
which the Firmarius might make for letting lands to tenants. The Firmarii 
of these two manors. Kensworth and Kunwell, were probahly 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 141. Fail in defenia xl. tolidorum. — The manor of Luvehale 
formerly bore a part in this contrihulion as part of the Manor of Sandon, 
instead of paying a half mark on its own account. 

Vicecomiti iiij. sol. Pra-poulo kundredi v. sol. — The Manors of St. 
Paul's in the county of Essex mode payments to the Propositus, liailiff, or 
Reeve of the hundred, as well as to the Vicecomes or SherifT; but in the 
other counties, Middlesex and Herts, the payments were to the Vicecomes 
atone. 

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 Sulfon (See note, Wardpenny, p. 68), 
where a watch was kept in the night at the Hegia Strata, or King's High- 
irBfi and a Wardstaff received ; the account of which, when compared with 



av VOTES AND ILLU8TBATIOX8 

the tale of the Wardstaff as a Hock-tide ceremony (noticed in Sir F. 
Palgrave't Rise and Power of the British Commonwealth, toI. ii. p. dviiL 
and published by Morant in his History of Essex, i. p. 126), Itsmves 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 andent as Hockday itadf. 

Page 141. Altera dknidia est in dommio geldahiKe. — 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 doe 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 ?il1ata, was only 39 acres. 

Page 142. Pro xxvii. hidis et dtmuT de Snutinge. — Some words appear 
to haye 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 
hidis3 et dimid' de prebenda de Sneting f this prebendal manor bearing its 
part in the payment of the hidage with the other lands. 

A tempore fVilFi de ffochendune. — 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 1150 and 1160. 

Canonicii vero L 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 ; %:e. in summa 
1. libras.** 

QuieUe eunt pneter 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.

OP THE INQUISITION OF THE MANORS, A.D. 1181. CV 

Page 143, Berlinga defendebat se pro tnbut hidU. — The variations in 
le number of hides rateaMc in this manor are remarkable. T. It. W. the 
manor was rated at 2J hides, less 15 acres ; i.e. 300 acr^s — 15 = 285. 
T. It. H. at 3 liidcs, 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 afWrwards at a hide and a half = 180 acres. In 1222, 
only twenty acrea of the demoaDe were liable to the annual payment of 
2f. 2d. for hidage, and id. for wardpenny. 

Page 1 44. De guolibet husebondo. — The words " husband" and "hus- 
are descriptive of a married pair, as the house-bond and the bouse- 
In the laws of Canute {§ 73) the husband is denominated simply 
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. — ■" Fran cum plegium" expresses in Norman- 
Latin the Anglo-Saion " Frith-horh," or Peace-pledge, by which every Free- 
man was under security to the Crown for hia 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) vre have 
evidence, that the institution had taken the shape, in which it is presented 
to us, as an English law or custom, afTecting every town and village in 
every county ; the law of Canute, s. 20 (l.awa 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 
everyone be brought into a hundred and in"borh" (i.e. aecnrity); and 
let the "borh'' hold and lead him in every plea. Under Edward the 
Confessor the custom was slill more clearly defined; the whole of the inha- 
bitants of every villa being formed into " decennas,"' or companies of ten, 
the nine being answerable for any " foris factura" committed by one of the 
ten. Over each decenna there was a chief entitled Frith borgheved or Head- 
borrow, and, in Latin Decennarius or Capitalis Pl^us. Francplege appears 
to be recognised in the laws of Wilt. (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 liundredis tenendis, Hen. I. (ib. p. 315) of all the freemen 
summoned twice in the year to the court of the hundred, for the pur-

pose of ascertaining the condition of the decanie or dec«nns, whether de- 
fective or having incicasMl in nunil>cr. The age of twelve years waa that at 
which, under the law of Canute, as well asuuder the law of Hen. I. the free- 
man was to be in "borh," and enrolled madecenna. The view of francpleg* 
was declared hy the lawyers iu the reigns of the Edwards (see Placita de quo 
Warranto) to be " quiedam jurisdictio regalis mere speclans ad coranam eA 
ad digni'talcni coronae domini regis;" and ahu " qusedam juBticiaiia ad 
dignitatem corons regis spertans, pro conservatione pacis su^e, quaro quidem 
justiciariam neraini licet exercere, sine speciali concessione domini regis vel 
ejus progenitorum" (pp. 88, 89, et alibi); but, sol withsian ding these decla- 
rations, the Rotuli Ilundrcdorum 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, hut which, if prior to tin 
Conquest, had need of confirmation; it being laid down as a principle 
(page 4), "quod in Conquestu Anghte quaelibet jurisdictio ad coronam 
regram 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 decennaj at the manor courts, or that of the 
" Capitales Dccennarii," 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 Edit. 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 vicecomitea 
or bailiffs was an excuse for oppression. At this period also the obligation 
of the ten members of the deccnna 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 look place, and which are described in the Statutes 
of the Realm, vol, i. page 246, it would be foreign to our purpose to maikk 
any observation ; and if apology be necessary for the length of this note, tt 
must he found in the fact, that the law and practice of fraucplege, as her* 
stated and illustrated by the examples in the note below,* is one at]

my facts, which shew that the fundamental character of aociely ia 
i-Dgland as lale as the fourteenth century waa Anglo-Saxon, and that 
the Conquest made no essential change in the general principles of the 
law, or in the relation in which different classes of men stood to each

Page]44, Ad Kolallam propositi. — Scotalla, A iiglicS S'cofa/*. There is 
some difference of opinion as to the derivation of this word (sec Spelmau and 
Du Cange); but, notwithstanding the dissent of Spelman, alc^scot, i.e. 
ale-tax, appears to he its meaning. Scotalla, and Scotallum, are used to 
denote a Meeting, and Scotale, the beer which was browed to be consumed 
or sold at the Scotalla. The " Capitula Itineria," as contained in the Statutes 
of the Realm, i. p, 234, and in Bracton (fol. 1 17), exhibit various forms of the 
word. Scotale, aotale, filctale, filaon 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 filsoo 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 com from the poor." From the mention which is made of 
■^otalia and Scotaltte in the Forest Charters of Henry III. and in the Char- 
ter and Forest Law of Edward I. it would appear, that the Scotalla n 
assembly, the proceedings of which were connected wilh the adminintration 
of forest law. In the Magna Charla of John no notice is taken of Scot- 
allae; but, since in the subsequent forest charters they are distinctly pro- 
hibited, we may conclude, that the Scotallfc were amongst the " male con* 
suetudinea de forestts," which, by the terms of the Magna Charta of Johiii 
were to be inquired into and done away. But it would seem th,it, though 
the great lords and their tenants desired the abolition of the Scotallie, tbc 
foresters and bailiffs, whose pecuniary interests, or whose sports, 
endangered, had influence enough to prevent their annihilation ; for not onlj 
do we find, that n limited construction is put upon the prohibitory clauses rf' 
the charters, both in the English translation of the charter of Edward I, and 
also in lhe"statuleof 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. 
32 1 ), (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,") allowetl them still to take 
" that which was due ofotH right," it rather estjiblished than destroyed the 
custom. In the forest charters mention is mnde of " com, lambs, and youi^ 
pigs," as Utkcn for the Scolnllii; ; hut Flcta's " Scotales garba;" (ii. < 
§ S5), and the conduct of the foresters of Cranborne, as described below, I 
would render it probable that the demands were in their time limited to what 1 
was required for making ale.* 

The following payments were anciently due from the Chapter Mtnor ot 
Chiogford to the Half Hundred of the Abbot of Waltham : " De Oomi- 
nico ad Scotallam vij.d. et de quolibet astro tenentium (from every hearth) J 
ejuadem villas i.d. ad Scotallam." (I, G5.)

In SumDer's Essay on Gavelkind (p. 30), a charter is cited, in wliich 
' tnention is made nf payments by tenanla to the Scotalla of the Archbishop ; 

and in the Heger book of the Abbess of Shaftesbury (Hnrleian MS. 61), 

we find the following entries; — 
I " Homines de Wrokcaham. Quilibct debet ad scotallam, iij''. ob." 
^p "Omnes alii ibimt ad scotallum dominie xicut ad scotallum t 



*| " Qnilibet, pi'seter libere teneiitcs, ad seotolluni, iij''. ob. vidua ij"*." 

Besides, however, tlic ScotAlla of the Forest, there was also a Scotalla of 
the Church, which we find mentioned and prohibited in the Provincial Con- 
stitutions of Archbiahops Langtou and Edmund in J 209 and 1236, and iu 
the Diocesan Canons of Durham, Worcester, and Salisbury, in 1220, 1240, 
and 1236. From the Constitution of Edmund, wliich forbids the Bannum 
Scotallorum, or bidding to the Scotnle, being made by the priest, we learn, 
that notice of these meetings was publicly given ; and, from the description 
of the object of the iuslitulion, vix. the salvatiou of men's souls and bodies 
(" Scotalls ct a1ia> communes {wtulionca pro salute animarum ct corporum 
introdiictte," Wilkins, Concilia, vol. i. pp. 5^0 and 7t0), we may reason- 
ably conjecture, that this Scotalc owed its origin lo, or is connected with, the 
Anglo-Saxon sawl sneat, soul scot,' symbolum animic, or [lecunia sepulture, 
which w&s recognised by tlic laws of Athclstan, Edgar, Ethelred, and Canute, 
as payable to the church of iho deceased nl the ojven g^rave. (See the 
references, Laws of England, Soulsrot.)

pro sustentatione equitU regis." (p. IGOb.) The meaning of the words 
"quantum volneris," as added to "oqiiiciuui," are obscure ; but, since Ching- 
tbrd adjoined the Forest of Waltham, it is probable that the lord of tlie manor 
of Chingfordmiglit 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 
iUnstration chap. viii. of the Leges Forestanim Scoticaj, which is as follows ;—

** De hoc manerio abstulit Petrus de Valoniis unam hidam et octo acras 
prati quae pertinebant manerio T. R. £. 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.

held this tenement by the same service, two ploughshares (see page 93). 
Gara is said to be a measure of land (see Du Cange) ; but if derived from 
the Anglo-Saxou ^* 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 cither by the 
bishop or by Ihc canons in the Exclittjuer 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 : — 

" Williclmus dccanus et capitulum canonicorum SVi Pauli Lond' concedunt 
Hugoui de Inga et heredibus ejus dimidium manerium de Wigeleia petente 
Edgaro. Et tenebit illud jure hercditario, ct reddct pro eo uno quoque anno

variation iii the next folio of liook I.. 

Sfanerium de Edbiirgeton. — This manor had been granted to hold as the 
foregoing: " ad firmam jure hen'ditario" for 50*. rent. Edhurgeton (the mo- 
dern Abberton near Colchester) was held by RanulphuB Piperell, or Pevercll, 
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 Relmcis, Bishop of London, in the year 1 lOB, 
the first year of his consecration, which recites the grant of the manor by 
Kanulphus Peverell (whose body was buried in the church), "ad usum 
luminaris ecclcsioe," and publiahes 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 jieriod, in the " Liber Pilosus," Book A. 
fol, 23. The respective suras of 50j. and 40». are found receivable from 
AUurton and Westleo at p. 164.

Nulla ruHone stutineaSf &c.— -llie 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 wc 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 ILLUSTUATIONS 

The churches thus enumerated were all '< in dominio canonicorum/' 

The two following, Runwell and Chingford, are described as not bdng 
<< fundai» 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 yillata, 
g^reat 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 np 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, ** propter 
vicinitatem Christianitatis," is remarkable. 

The chapel of Twyford paid 12rf. to St. PauFs for the tithes of com, 
sheep, and gonts. 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 uf pension the churches were a 
source of revenue to the Chapter. The payments were made either '' per 
clericos" or << per firmarium nomine ecclesis." 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 llunwell and Chingford made 
no BJraiUr payments to the Chapter, and that they are said not to be " in 
doinimo canonicorum." The church of Kyrkebi was the only church " in 
dominio " that made no sucb payment. 

Quid eccUsitE mairici jure parochiali tolvatur. — The single iDHtance of 
such a payment is tliat made to the church of Fifhyde or Fifield by tlie 
manor of Norton (see p^e 150), " propter vicinitatem Chriatianitatis," for 
that proximity, of which the people of Norton availed themselves, in 
frequenting the church of Fifidd and partaking in religious ordinances. 

Quid Molvatur pro ainodalibm. — This payment la distinguished from 
one af^rwarda mentioDed — that to the Archdeacons. By the Canon law, 
(De off, Jud. Ordin. c. Cont|uerente,) 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 glaled by BarbosB (De Off. et Potest. Episeopi, p, 41, alleg, 
130, n. 4), that of tempting the bishops to hold their synods; - Ut 
episeopi ad synodum celebrandam alliciantur." The Syuodalia of the 
English Church appear to have a different origin, and to be connected 
with the ancient systeoi of ecclesiastical justice, which existed under the 
Anglo-Saxon kings, by which ecclesiastical causes were tried In the court 
of the hundred, 'I'hc separation of the ecclesiastical from the secular 
courts was made by ihc Conqueror (Carta WiUielnii, Laws of England, 
vol. i. p. 495J ; but the fact mentioned by l.indwood (De Constitu. c. Quia 
Incontin. verb. Capilulum, p. 14), and cited by Gibson (Codex, p. 073), 
^tbit Itiiri-decaniil Chapters wric in some places held from three werkn lo 



CXVl NOTKS AND II.I.USTKATIONS 

tlirco wi.-cks, accuriliiig to the practici: of tiit.' maiiurial uuurU, renders it 
higlily ^jrobablo, thut lliv ccclesiaHticul courts, wliith were formed by sepan- 
tioii from ihe secular courU, continued to meet as K'foro ; and that, aa the 
Turn of the sheriff ur Shiremot was lielil twice in the year, the Synodua 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 tlie Archdeacons, wlio now in many placet 
bold visitations or synods at EusIlt and at Micharlmaa in every year. It 
is remarkable that Lindwood, in tbe passage cited above, speaks of the custom 
of holding chapters from three weeks to three weeks, as resting rather upoD 
the Custom (or CommoD law) of England, than upon the Common law of 
the Church at Urge. 

Qui* colligal denariuta S'cli P«fn'.— There can be little doubt, ihtt 
Peler-pence was a grant of .^Ims to the Popes in the time of the Anglo- 
Saxon kings ; the earliest date assigned to it being the reign of laa, who 
became king of Wessex Ju G88, and after a reign of thirty-two years retired 
to Itorac. The payment of the denarius S. Petri, or Itomfeoh, was the 
subject of legislation by Edward and Guthrum (circa 900), by Edgar 
(959), by Ethelred (998), by Canute (1017), by Edward the Confessor 
( 1 043). It aUo forms a part of the laws of the Conqueror and of Hen. I. 
(See ihc references, Dcnar. S. Petri, in Spelman's Concilia, and Romfeob, 
Laws of England.) Prior, however, to the Law of Edward the Coofeuor 
(^ x) the Anglo-Saxon code affords no information as to the persons from 
whom the Komfeoh was due ; but that law, as explained by the law of 
William (1. 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 Itomfeoh, 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 

• Id tlie Life of Offa (Mittt. Tiria, |ip. 29, 31), it ii ilited tLat OH'a't oHginil gnnt 
wu that of one iiItct jiiece from tlioae who poaatited cattle of the value o( thirtjr silrer 
piecBi. It is alao italed, that, whea tbat mooarcli granted Ptter-pencc from his whole 
kingdocn, he reserved tie Peter-peoce from the iandi of St. Albin to the use of tbe 
Mihej. Theie landa in later times included tbe parialiei which formed the hundred of 
Culiio, and the Ahbilial arehdraeonrf of St. Alban'i, in the connlj ol Hen 




i lord of a manor wna an octiuittaiicc for all wliu were in his demeine. 
Tbe festival of St. Peter ad Viiicub (August 1) was the day on which 
Itomfeoh was dur ; and the Law of tlie North umbriaii Priests (§ 57, Laws 
of England, vol. ii. p> 299) enacted, tliut ttio payment shoulil be made *' at 
the episcopal seat, and that in every wapentake 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 

mtion is now directed, illustrales both the mode of collection and the 

Hiyment of the Uonifeoh a century later than the laws above recited. The 

S^ue&tion '' i/uii coUigat denarium S, Petri?" implies the absence of 

liformity as to the collection of the tax. In six instances no return was 

■ to the question ; hut from the replies which are recorded we learn, 

liat the rural dean {decanus loci) collected it in Cadendon and Rensworth, 

I Sacerdos at IJelchamp and six other places, and the Firmarius at 

!hingford aud Sutton. Of ihe person, to whom the money was paid, 

»tion is made only in two places, Cadendon and Kensworth, where the 

oral dean is said to have paid the money to the Archdeacon. The collec- 

I from Barnes, in Surrey, was paid at Wimendon ; but in two instances, 

pNorton and Sutton, the Firmarius, having collected the money, kept it 

himself. Twelve parishes made the following payments ; —

The Domesday of St. Paul's of 1 222 makes no mention of Peter-pence. 

But from the Inquisition of 1279, in Dook I. we learn, that at Sutton, at 

Chingford, and at Norton, the persons who paid tbe Rome-penny were 

Villain tenants ; tiiat married men paid a penny, widowers and widows one 

I 'halfpenny, and that the amount eo received was reckoned among the profits 

Irf the Manor. At Sutton these payments were due in the 18 Edw. L 

B|(1289), not from all the Villain tenants, but only from twenty-five of them 

: h). At Chingford the sum collected from Ihe " Nativi" was 2s. Grf. 



CXVIIl NOTES AND II.r.USTBATIONP 

(I. 59 b), and in ihe small manor of Norton, held by seven " Natiri," the 
sum collected was 7d. (I. 150 b.) 

The information wliieli wc possess rcspptliiig the payment of this tax to 
the Court of Rome is wry 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 moDastic orders abroad from levying taxes upon 
abbeys and monasteries in England), states, but without authority, that 
Peter-pence was one of the grievance;! of the English nation. The amoUDt 
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 
\XII., which first recites a bull (supposed to be of Gregory VI.,) in whicb 
the sums payable os I'eter-pe nee from each English diocese are recorded; 
und then states, that the three huudred mancuase or marks, which were 
originally granted in 837, are just the amount of the sums due from the 
dioceses. This I'ope, in tlie 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 Home, but, as is evident from tlie 
documents recorded in Wilkius's Concilia (i6,) 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, 
ill reply to a Brevo rt^ium of Edward II., dated 24 April of that year, had 
returned answer to the king Ihe day following, that in obedience to the 
king's writ they had searched their records, and had found no writing 
relative lo Ihe exaction of this lax. This pope by his Bull appointed 
lligandue dc Asserio, a Canon of Orange, to superintend the business of the 
collection and payment of the I'L'tcr-peucc. It is probable, that during the 
whole of the fourteenth and fi^euth centuries persons were sent from time 
lo time to England on the same business, though the only person, who is 
known to have resided in England as collector of the Pcier-peuce, was the 
last, namely, Polydure Vergil, an Italiati of Urbino, who lived here for forty 
years, was archdeacon of Wells and prebendary of Hereford, and ii 
4 Edw. VI. had leave grantiil to him to return tu his own country, the I 
profits of his archdeaconry and prebend beiug continued to hjw by patent I 
for his life. (Strype's Memorials, vol. iii. p. 499, ed, IHH.)

The expectation thus held out, as respects the visitation of 1181, is unhappily 
I disappointed. Dook L. (fol. 63 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 ik, however, to be observed, that in the same volume 
I (fol. 136-143) there is a record of the visitation of these Country churches 

in tbe year 1241, and that there is a fuller record still of another visita- 
I tion of them in 1279 in book L 

Servil rapellte qua est in curia, Sfc. — The service most probably was a 

Mass; its performance ihree days in the week is a curious illustration of 
I Ktlention 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 (L 24) there was " Una aula cum 
. boteleria ad unum caput, cum parva capella nd aliud caput ;" and also 

** Unum solarium cum pnrva capella tegulis coopcrtum." 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 contigus 
I cum Bcindulis cooperta ;" and " Una camera cum trisantia propc capellam." 
J At Heybridge (I. 166), also, there was "Solarium cum capella de construc- 
I lione Herveii dc Horham (Dean circa 1271) cum duobus caminis de plaatro 
[ Paris."

CXX NOTES AND ILLDSTUATI0N8 

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. 

Fut. acra de la Cnolle. — Cnolle is probably the word now spelt 
<* knolly** 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 Chiswick was a part. In the inquisition of 
Belchamp mention is made of a <* communa,** common or open space, called 
the Knoll. " Non habctur uliquid communae in villa nisi ilia strata, qu» 
vocatur la Cknolle." i. 106. 

In tempore Wulmanni. — Wulman or Ulstan, as he is otherwise called, 
was the first Dean of St. PauVs after the Conquest. This account of the 
firmae 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 I., 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 orig^al 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 gttatuor, as in the older document.

The date 1290 has been assigned to these Articles of Visi 
they are found recordeH in Book L immediatply following the " Redditus 
et Consueludines " of the manor of Nastok, which were written subse- 
quently to the feast of St. Michael, 20 Edw.I., I^9L These articles are 
preceded by & Catalogue of Evidences relating to that Manor, thirty-eight 
in number. 

In the Statuies of the Realm (vol. T. p. 342) there is a similar set of 
Articles, entitled " Extenia Maneriorom," transcribed from the " Liber 
Hon] " 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. L Fleta (Book IL c. Ixxi.) recommends the use of such an "exten- 
iiion" of the particulars of a manor, and inserts Articles of inquisition, which, 
^■*ith some omissions, appear to be the same with those in the " Liber 
The " Extenta," or Artirles, as here given from the St. Paul's 
Kument, the first clause excepted, are more full and complete, especially 
^wUh respect to the prtedial services of the tenants, than they are in the 
iJber Horn, or in Fleta's copy.

rium. — A purely Latin word, applied equally to the park, the aviary,

Ifrrbagium. — The word has two meanings : the right of cutting grass 
d feeding cattle, or the place where the herbage grows. It is here used 
in the latler sense. 

Carucata.—A plough-land. We leam from Fleta (IL 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 iu three courses, 60 acres 
being aown in winter, 60 in spring, and (tO fallowed in summer, then the 180 
[■ serei 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. — In the survey of Sutton (I. 88) 299 
acres are described, as contained in seven '' campi," or fields, viz. Suthfild, 
Breche, Hamstal, Estfild, Nortbfild, 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. 

Qualibtt seisione dUHnguuntur. — The seisiones or courses of the arable

Cherchei^d — Churchaed (or Cyricsceat) is defined by Fleta. 1. c. 45, § 2t!, 
■s a certain measure of wheat, which every one offered on St. Martin's day lo 
the Church, it being not only an English, but a British custom. Sir H. EUii, 
in his Introduction to Domesday, has noticed the various passages in that 
record, in which mention ia 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 lien. I. (xi. 4) rect^nises Cyricsceat, 
as a payment due at Martinmas to the Bishop, under the ancient penalty 
menliuned in the Domesday of Worcester (fol. 174). of a fiiio of eleven 
times the amount, if the Cyricsceat were not paid on the day. Sir H. Ellis 
also brinfrs to notice a payment made to the manor of Glastonbury in ISO I 
of Kixty hens as Churchset. The records of St. Paul's do not throw 
light upon this custom, but the instances which occur in the Inquisition of 
theiounty of Oxford, 7 Edw. J. (Rot. Hundr. vol. il p. 688,) of cocks and 
hens paid to (he lord of the manor of Il'tlee by Cotaiii (p. 712), by Servi at 
Sunecunibe (757), by the tenants denominated " Carucarii " at Wytcharch 
(776). by Servi custumani at Stoke Basaett (779), by Villani at Lewknor 
t Wellington by tenants of the same class 
ihew, not only that Cyricsceat was a tas 
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 
uae the payments anciently due to the Church. Had not the pope 
appointed his collectors, Konipeny might probably have shared the s 
fate.

tie daughters of the iiativi or serfs, by removing ihe popQlation from the 
manor, was a loss to the lord. Thia appears to he the foundation of the 
<ReIl-known payment termed " merchetum." At Belchamp (1. 106) we 
Ffad, " Nullua cuatumarius extra villain suatn filiam sine licentia maritabit. 
Cuatumariiis filiam ciiatumarii sine Hcentb domini accipiat in conjugem in 
villa. Sed cuatumarius maritabit filiam suam liberis in villa, non extra,

quod pro filiabus tait maritandis consuevenint _ Ivere domino ij. solidoB 
tantum." At Wichara (I. 9T), " Omnes tenentes facienl finem ad volun-

Taille, Tnltagium, that which is paid as a tan 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 hceredes nostros in regno ponetur vel 
leveter sire voluotate et consensu," ftc. The taillage to which this article 
of Inquisition refers, was that which any lord of a manor might impose npon 
hii> tenanU, 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 
whether " eustnmarius " or " nalivus." The tenement of the cub- 
ury tenant might be liable to yearly taillage, but (he amount was such 
I cuuld be paid "sine destnictione et exilio (i/u. exiiio) faciendoi" but 
there «a* 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 
villensige (IV. c. S8, § 5), was bound to unlimited service, "semper 

^Imebitur ad tnceria," and could be taxed at the will of the lord, either 
more or less, or, according to the terms of the French CharlK, "alto et 
biksso." 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 gaie the lord the 
power of throwing the burden of any public taxation u|}on the cultivator 
of the soil, and that taillage ojierated Jii 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 Itotuli Hundredorura, Com. O.\on, 7" 
Edw. I are a few of numerous instances of the right of taillage upon tenants

leases. In the manor of Belchamp (f. 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 " abelluro," 
but not oak or beech, except for housebote and ht^ybote.

the lord the pre-oplion of purchase, for we read amongst the customs 
of Bekhamp (I. lOS b ), " Licitum sit cuslumariis equos et bovcs et omnia 
alia animalia vendcre sine licencia firmarii, nisi velit tantum dara sicuti

in distinct terms in the later leases. The right to housebote and heybotc was, 
however, possessed occaaionally by other tenants. In the manor of NcwiutoDi 
CO. Oxon. (Hot. Hund. II. p. 761), thirteen villain tenants, holding each a 
virgate of land and performing certain services, were entitled to husbote et

OF THE COMPOTC'S MANERIORUM OP ST. PAUL'S, 



COMPOTUS MANERIORUM ET FIRMARUM. 

This compotua is extracted from a large volume, having on the outside 
the title "Statuta Majora," under g. coreringof transparent horn, the volume 
being BO styled as distinguished from the " Statuta Minora," a. entailer 
volume cf Qearly the same contents, but wriiien in a much Bmaller hand, 
writing of the Statuta Majora is of the early part of the fourteenth 
'Wntury. The chief value of this Compotua, ss connected witii this work, 
iBists in ita exhibiting the order and amount of the firms paid by the 
'Afferent manors; as the Compotus Bracini, which follows, explains the 
^inethod in which the grain delivered with the firms waa converted into 
bread and beer, and distributed to the members of the cathedral. 

Page 154. Ad denas el ad denum denarium. — It has been before 
'abterved (Introd. p. xlvii.) that the meaning of these words is doubtful, 
'oasibly the denua denarius may be the seven pence per week, or penny 
iper day, in some way a tenth penny or tithe, which was paid to the almoner 
cathedral, and dtniis may be a form of dizenas. quasi dies-enas ; 
bat all that we know certainly of the dizenw 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, 
i lowest amount as dizente being forty, the highest sixty sbillingB. 
Page 155. Ad defectum bracini. — The meaning of this phrase may be 
deduced from observing, that the manors which made these payments, were 
those of lielchatnp, Runwell, and Norton, which in the time of Wulmar the 
dean (see p. 152) provided firmte in produce, viz. Runwell for two weeks, 
Norton for one, and Belcharap for eight ; but since in later times Runwell 
and Norton furnished no firma in kind, and Belchamp only six firms 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 firm» in kind. 
Ad lupptemenltim. — This payment being generally 6t. &d appears to be 
the same with that mentioned in page IGO as the 6«. 8d., which was paid 
with «Tery firma for the supply of wood. In page 165 we read, that it was 



CXXVIU NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS

often more, rarely leas, " eapiusi vero plus, minus vpro raro ;" and from

brewery, and of the payment depending on the price of wood, it would 
spem, that this payment at last hecame fixed in nmomit, and waa n com-

of London should be used throughout the realm. In the " AsNsa de

and in the " Slatutum de Pistoribua " 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 8t, 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 U Edw. III. (1340), not then 
obeyed throughout the kingdom, waa 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 firms were in Quarters of eight bushels,

member of the Chapter was appointed fur this duty. (See Appendix to

Page 104". H/ec sunt duodecim mantfia, Sfc. — This account of the 

' rendered by ihe manors of St. Paul's occupies the first folio of 

K>k I., and precedes the account of Thomas Couling, the Custos bracini in 

1^83. It is here inserted, aa being the first document in order of time, in 

which the quantities of grain containod in each Hrma are stated ; the accounts, 

which are prior to it, enuincraling the iirmx only by weeks and days (as in 

p. 153), or by the whole number provided by each manor in the year, as in 

the inquisition of 1181 (p. 140 — 145). In this document the measurement 

of the grain, and the number of quarters in each Rrma, was according to an 

I older standard, and not according to the King's measure. Each firma, as 

ft«Iicienlly delivered, contained IB^ quarters of wheat (15 of which were for 

Lkread and SJ 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, 18} 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 : 123, 

Ad Grudnm. — .\ccording to Du Cange, "grudum " is barley prepared for 
making beer ; but wheat being here given " ad gi'ndum " 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.

^* a measure of land," was used by the Roman writers ^de Re Rnstica** as a 
measure in the manu&rtnre of oil. (See Facdolati in Tooe.) It seems, 
therefore, to be of different origin from the Anglo-Saxon hei or yat. Of the 
dimensions of this ^* ftctus bracini ** at St. PauPs we have here a clear ac- 
count The 16 qrs. of oats were to be paid in eight ^fiurti,** 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 ; ii 
would not, however, have been surprising if it had continued to a much 
later period, since we find the Legislature in J 351, 25 Edw. III., whilst it 
enacted uniformity of measures, exempting the rents and firme 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*. Conntevttjirfnarius pro huscha dare diwudiam fnareafii.-— 
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 reqiured 
was that, which would bake and brew a quantity of grain as great as 35 qrs. 
or 280 bhls. 

Page 164. Et de xxiiij. (Lege xxxiiij.) quart, de multura molendini. — 
The mill of St. PauVs was probably a convenience to the citiaens for 
grinding their corn ; but, without knowing the amount of toll, we cannot 
ascertain, how much com 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. 1 72).

CXXXll NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS 

Pro sequestra umut to//u9.— The aocoant of the deliTery of hread 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. 

PUaneuK. — Allowances occasionally distributed were termed ** Pittances,** 
and the officer deputed to distribute them was termed ** Pitanciarias." At 
Thomey 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 TAcademie.) 

In buscha ad tora/le, — 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. PauVs, whether from a well or from the river, does not 
appear. At p 171 mention is made of the water-drawer, aqueductor, as 
entitled to 4)itances. 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.

Page IfiS. Pio anima IFillielmi de Sancta Margaret' Decano. — 
Tlie Bcribe in tlic original MS. has written Sancta Margaret instead of 
Sonctae Maris eccleiis, as in p. 170. There were two persons, who 
bore the name of William de Sancts Marias ecclesia; one, who was 
liiihop of London and died in 1:124, the other here mentioned, who waa 
elected Dean of St. Paul's in 1241. 

I'y. d. lib. per ebdonuiduia pro pane nigro. — The fcribe boa here 
committed another error in writing three pence halfpenny instend of three 
hdir[>eiice, as in p. 170. It does not appear of what this black bread 
W05 in.ide: the "assiaa panis" recog-nises five kinds of bread, Wastel of one 
kind, Cockct of two kinds, Simnel, and Trnet. The bread of the lea^l value 
appears to have b^en made de omni blado, ihp lojf of which was twice the 
^K weight of the [greater Cocket. 

^^V frocuria Gilberli. — The purpose of this allowance does not appear, 
^^■i Jn itiitlacione ij. cnnoniroruin. — Tiie custom is still observed of pre- 
^^ Wilting to every Canon and Prebendary a loaf of bread at his installation.

version of St. Panl, and June 211, which day is now dedicated to St. 
I Peter alone, but formerly to St. Peter and St. Paul. These festivals are 
iMcribed in page 1 66, as the '■ Conversion " and ihe " Commemoration " of 
pt. Paul. 
I Page 170. Anno gratia tnilleiimo 2o0. — This account is remarkable. 
)ft would seem, that in this year the whole of the firmsB from the monora 
^re received, and distributed not ia kind, but in money. The price of 
wheat here recorded, as cojipareJ ttilh that of our own times, being taken 
as a standard of the yalne of money, would lead to the conclusion that 
money was then fifteen times more valuable than at pi'csent. The 267 /• 
received in money and produce from the thirteen manors would be repre- 
sented at Ihe present day by the sum of 4,005f., and the value of the bread 
and beer to the thirty canons by 1 lAl.

CXXXIV NOTES AND ILLUSTltATlUNS. 

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

Page 172. /n lenovatione molarum el e^uorum 4Qs. — The etpen«e of 
mill-atones and horses overaged (as above calculated) 30/. per annum. 

Page 173. Fralri de online Carmelitarum pro /ec/uru.— The Car- 
melites were the order commonly known as the White Friars, their Imuse 
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. 

Sarthotomo Orolotfiario. — The clock-keepers had a loaf per day. 
The Willielmus de Rokewell, who is mentioned in the uext page, as receiving 
a certain quantity, was probably an assistant who came ts help. 

In imlallaliane canoniiorum. — Of the Canons here mentioned » in- 
stalled, Egidius Filol was Prebendary of Mapesbury, Hugo de Kendale 
Prebendary of Karleston, 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 Itepertorium ; but PhtUp de Wylewyby was 
Prebendary of Bronnsbury. 

Per mensurnm paviiMnti. — Probably the measure of the Corn-market. 
In the parish of 8t. Michael le Quernc, 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, 

Priebenda. — Comparing the measure here given of the prsebenda, as 
containing thirty botlie, with what is stated of the price paid for seven 
pncbenda of beer at p. 167, we learn that the bolla and the lagena, or gallon, 
were the Bome measure. 

Page 174. CUrko S'cti Grtgorii.— The church of St. Gregory wa« 
within the ancient cathedral of St. Paul. It is termed in p. 166 the pariah 
church. 

Taltiie vaeanles, — The allowances lo canons and other members whose 
places were vacant were sold and converted into money. By the statutes of 
the cathedral these ■' talliie " or allowances were not to be sold lo lavmen. 





CORRECTIOJIS AND ADDITIONS. 



■ Page 96. Aleledv'p. — In pince of the aaXs, Alebedrip, al yage \\\\\v 
the reader will be pleased to read as follows ; 

The Lalin form of alebedrip \» " precarja cervisis,'' i.e. a boon day with 
ale ; metebedrip being a " precaria camis," or boon day with meat. It ia 
to he observed that a custom, to which the term precaria or boon day of 
brewing, might to a certain degree be applied, existed at Sauoilon, where the 
Akerlings lent their utenails, when required for (he lord's brewing: (1. 143,) 
"Item li dominus habuerit (necesse), quando braciabit de utetiMlibus, de 
utensilibus debet qiiilibct eorum mittere de mutuo iinum gale." The custu- 
marii also on the aame manor lent their vats for brewing at Chriatmaa and 
at ploughing times : (I. 142,) " Item si dominus necease habuerit, quilibet 
eorum debet quotiens dominus braciabit ad Natale Domini, et ad precarias 
carucarum, accommodare domino unum Vat." (1, 138,) " Inveniet unnm 
camianam (?) ad braeiiiiiduin contra Natale Domini et contra precarias caru- 
carum." 

Page 75. Cop'onotfuitium. — 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, " Quia 
babuerit conperones, ceppagia el escheatas quercuum et aliorum arborum," 
TTie text of Fleta is so evidently corrupt, that no apology is necessary for 
the conjecture, that for conperones we should read conperones, and derive 
ibe word from the French coiipet; to cut. 

Page 1 23. Contra cailella. — In searching for the meaning of this term, 
and in considering whether the Chapter might not have become amenable 
for the offence of "castellalio," i. e. fortifying a building without licence, which 
is mentioned in the laws of II. 1. amongst the ■' Placita quoe mittunt hominein

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, **ca8tellacio triuro scannorum." In Spelman 
(page 128) and in Wilkins's I^ges 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 Domesdayi. 

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.'* 

'' Wiilielmus Marescallus tenet xviij. acras terra3 arabilis de Decano et 
Capitulo vl (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 
ires septimanas, et dabit relevium." 

'' Galfridus Capellanus tenet quinque acras terrae^ 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, he.*' 



CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONS. CXXXVll 

Denarku STci Petri. — In the account of Rome penny, (page cxyI.,) 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 
Fcedera, vol. I. p. 176, 182.)
