and Convent gave to us in hand #100 sterling. And if it happen that we, or

the aforesaid Sir John Giffard, within the term of the aforesaid twenty years,

tenants of Cove and Eweshot, together with their rents, services, heriots,

reliefs, wardships, marriages, escheats, fines, redemptions, and all other

sterling, to be paid to them within a month after the said impediment has

Lord Prior and the Convent in form aforesaid. And we, the aforesaid Brother

Henry, and our heirs and executors aforesaid, will warrant, acquit, and

with ((Page 28)) the impression of my seal. These being witnesses, - Robert de

Clere, Robert de la Burghe, Thomas Everard, Stephen de Colevile, Henry de

Sandeford, John Dismars, Richard Carpenter, and others.{1. There are three

deeds belonging to this period between 1305-1331, so nearly perished as not to

admit of satisfactory transcripts being made of them sufficient for

publication; so many words are wanting, here and there. The first is a

release and quit-claim dated 12 April, 1305, by which Robert de Fremeleye, son

and heir of William Botermer, of Fremelye (Frimley), grants in perpetuity to

Margery atte Burghe, his mother, all the lands, tenements, rents, houses,

gardens, mills, marshes, feedings, and pastures, with all the appurtenances

thereof, which he had by the gift of the said William and Margery, at la

Burghe, in the hamlet of Eweshete in the parish of Crundal, in exchange for

certain lands at Twangham (Tongham) in Surrey, held of the Abbat of Chertsey

and of the Bishop of Winchester, which came to the said Margery in dowry by

the death of the said William. Dated at Crundale, in the presence of the Lord

Henry ((Wodelok)), Prior of St. Swithun's, on the Monday nearest before Easter

Sunday, in the thirty-third year of the reign of King Edward, the son of King

Henry. These being witnesses,..... Robert atte Burghe, Robert atte Trewe,

Richard atte Oke, then bailiff of Crundale,..... Thomas le Moneye, Nicholas

atte Ocketre, John de Lynche, Robert de Clere,.... and many others. ((Edw. I.

No. 24.))

 

The second belongs to the reign of Edward II, dated in September, but the

regnal year has perished. It is a grant in perpetuity by Margery de Burughe

(Burghe), daughter and heir of Henry atte Burughe, in her free widowhood, to

Richard atte Oke, his heirs and assigns. of her share in a certain tenement at

Iweschate (Eweshot), which ---- le Wyse and Henry ---- held of her for the

yearly rent of 2s. 6d., and also the 2s. 4d. of yearly rent which Alexander

atte Rude paid her for certain tenements in Iewschate. He paid her 100s. for

this grant. These being witnesses, - John ---- ----, Stephen de Coleville,

William de Dupenhale, Thomas ---- ---- Oketre, John atte Rude, ---- and

others. Dated at ----on Tuesday....... the feast of the Nativity of the

Blessed Virgin Mary, in the...... year of the reign of King Edward, the son of

King Edward. ((Edw. II No. 3.))

 

The third deed is dated at Winchester. 5 Edw. III, A. D. 1331, whereby

Margery atte Burghe, daughter and heir of Henry le Venour, acknowledges that

the Prior and Convent of St. Swithun had granted her a certain corrody for the

term of her life. in consideration of her having granted certain lands and

tenements at....... in the parish of Crondale, to William de Fyndone, clerk of

the said Prior and Convent. Nevertheless, if the said William, or the Prior

and Convent, in levying in the King's court the fine, relating to the same

property, by reason of any statute made against them or other persons, should

incur any damage or loss, the grant of the said corrody was to be void and to

revert to the Prior and Convent and their successors until satisfaction should

be made. This no doubt refers to the property granted to William Fyndone on 5

October, 1331. ((Edw. III, No. 14.))}

 

Grant in perpetuity by Margery atte Burghe, daughter of Henry le Venour, to William Fyndone, of lands, tenements, etc., at Crondal.

A.D. 1334. Taxation of the tenth and fifteenth in the county of

Southampton, in the eighth year of the reign of King Edward the Third after

the Conquest of England. {1. Tenths and fifteenths were temporary aids issuing

out of personal property granted to the King by Parliament; but the assessment

of fifteenths was more generally granted than tenths. Originally an

assessment was made at every fresh grant; but it was at length reduced to a

certainty in this year (8 Edward III), when a new taxation was made of every

village, township, borough and city in England, and recorded in the Exchequer,

and the amount so returned retained its name notwithstanding the alteration of

the value of money and the increase of personal property. So that in after

years, when the Commons granted the King a fifteenth or a tenth, every parish

in England immediately knew their proportion of it, as it was the amount of

the identical sum assessed upon them in the 8th year of Edward III; and they

then raised it by a rate among themselves, and returned it into the royal

Exchequer. This form of taxation ceased in 1663.}

6 DECEMBER, 1308. - Letter directed to the Dean of Basingstoke, touching

the complaint of Thomas de Monee against the executors of the will of Robert

de Clere, of Crondale.

 

Brother Henry, by divine permission Bishop of Winchester, to his beloved

son the Dean of Basingstoke, health, grace, and benediction. We recollect that

John Dymars and William de Pylekote, executors of the will of Robert de Clere,

of Crundale, within your Deanery, lately deceased, personally appeared before

us in the chapel of our Castle of Farnham, and in the name of the said

deceased freely, purely, and expressly acknowledged themselves to be, for a

certain reason, bound to Thomas de Monee, then and there present, in the

amount of 60s.; which money they promised in good faith to pay the aforesaid

Thomas at a certain term long since passed, and notwithstanding this, they

have not paid the debt in any manner to the said Thomas, as he asserts

whereat we greatly marvel. We enjoin, therefore, and command that you

forthwith admonish and constrain the said executors to pay the said sum of

money in full, as being a debt openly acknowledged before us, within fifteen

days from the time of this your admonition. Otherwise, you are to cite them,

at the instance of the said Thomas, to appear before us, or our commissary on

that behalf, wheresoever we shall be within our diocese, on the sixth judicial

day after the feast of the Epiphany of our Lord, to do and to receive that

which canonical equity shall demand in the aforesaid matters, and in every

particular thereof And what you shall do herein certify to us, or to our

commissary, at the said day and place, by your letters patent containing a

copy of these. Dated at Farnham, on the 8th Ides of December, in the year of

our Lord 1308, and the fourth of our consecration.

Hesseburne (Hussborne) and Whitchurch, complain to the Lord King, that they

were granted to the Prior and Convent, and to his Church, in pure and

perpetual alms, by the ancestors of the Lord King, and that the Prior and

Convent exact from them other customs and services, which they were not

accustomed to perform in the time they were in the hands of the aforesaid

predecessors, etc., and they came and said that they had exacted other

services from them. Placita diversorum comitatuum, 9 Edw I, Rot. xxixo}

20 NOVEMBER, 1364. - By the King. Most beloved in God. The tenants of

the manor of Crondale, which, as we have understood, is of the ancient demesne

of the crown of England, show us that you demand from them other services and

other customs than they are bound to perform by right, and such as their

predecessors were not accustomed to perform in the days when the said manor

was in the hands of our progenitors the Kings of England; to their great hurt

and disinheritance and destruction of their estate, whereat we are very ill

pleased. Therefore, we command and charge you not to demand henceforth of the

said tenants nor to burden them with other services and customs than their

aforesaid ancestors, duly redressing what you have done against them herein,

so that they may not have occasion to complain again to us to obtain remedy.

Winchester,)) on behalf of the men of Crundel, in the year of our Lord 1364.

 

15 JANUARY, 1364-5.-EDWARD, by the grace of God, King of England, lord of

Ireland, and Earl of Aquitaine, to the Prior of St. Swithun's, Winchester,

sends greeting. Your men of Crundel, which, as is said, is of the ancient

them other customs and other services than they are bound to perform, and

their ancestors, tenants of the same manor, were accustomed to render at the

time when that manor was in the hands of our progenitors late Kings of

England, and therefore we command you that you shall not henceforth exact, or

permit to be exacted, from the aforesaid men other customs or other services

than they are bound to render, and their aforesaid ancestors were accustomed

to render in the aforesaid times. And unless you do this at our mandate we

shall enjoin it to be carried into effect by our Sheriff of ((the county of))

On the 18th December, 1398, an indenture was drawn up between 'the

Reverend Father in Christ, the Lord William Wykeham, by the grace of God,

Bishop of Winchester, of the one part, and the Venerable and Religious man,

Thomas Nevyle, Prior of the Priory of the Cathedral Church of Winchester, and

((Page 48)) the Convent of the same place, of the other part,' for the

settlement of a few matters still in dispute, between the Bishops and the

Convent. It contains the following particulars relating to Crondal:-

 

ITEM, ((licet)) inter Recorda de tempore domini Edwardi, filii Regis

Henrici, quondam Regis Angliae, coram eodom Edwardo Rego apud Aberconeway,

quindena Sancti Johannis Baptistae, anno regni sui duodecimo, inter alia

continetur. FARNHAM. Haec sunt servicia qnae Prior et tenentes sui de

Crondale, tam liberi quam servi, debent ad manerinm de Farnham. In primis,

Prior et omnes tenentes sui, tam liberi quam servi, debent duas sectas per

annum coram senescallo domini Episcopi apud Blakehethfelde, quae est in

manerio de Farnham. Prior negat sectam pro persona sua; liberi respondeant

pro so; servi appareant bis in anno, facturi quod juris fuerit et quod ad

dietam pertinet. Ac insuper omnes homines, tam liberi quam servi, et omnes

decennarii villarum, villatarum, et hamlettorum tocius manerii et dominii de

Crondale, ad Visum Franciplegii de Blakehethfelde praedicta venerunt, et

venire ab antiquo consueverunt, a tempore et per tempus cujus contrarii

memoria non existit, ad praesentandum ibidem ea quae ad dietam hujusmodi

praesentari deberent, secundum legem et consuetudinem regni Angliae.

Nichilominus praedicti Robertus, nuper Prior, et Conventus, quandam curiam per

senescallum suum in manerio de Crondale praedicto tenuerunt, et eosdem liberos

tenentes ad eandem curiam de Crondale venire fecerunt, et super eisdem

articulis super quibus ad Visum Franciplegii praedicti domini Episcopi apud

Blakehethefeld, de quo praefertur, tempore ipsius Episcopi, juraverunt, iterum

in curia eorum praedicta jurare compulerunt, contra legem et consuetudinem

regni et libertates et consuetudines ecclesiae praedictae, ad grave dampnum et

praejudicium ipsius ac tenencium praedictorum. Unde super hac materia inter

partes praedictas modo quo sequitur concordatum existit, - quod omnes liberi

tenentes de Crondale et omnes decennarii villarum, villatarum, et hamelettorum

tocius manorii et dominii de Croundale praedicta, cum quatuor hominibus

cujuslibet decennae, appareant, ac faciant et debeant duas sectas per annum

coram senescallo praefati Episcopi, et successorum suorum, Episcoporum

Wyntoniensium, apud Blakehethefeld, quae est in manerio de Farnham, ad

praesentandum ibidem ea quae ad diem sive dietam hujusmodi praesentari debent,

Translation :-

 

Also, ((although)), among the Records of the time of the Lord Edward,

late King of England, the son of King Henry, (in the pleadings) before the

same King Edward at Aberconway, in the quinzaine of St. John the Baptist (8

July), in the twelfth year of his reign, it is contained among the rest:-

FARNHAM. These are the services which the Prior and his tenants of Crondale,

as well the freemen as the bondmen, owe to the manor of Farnham. In the first

place, the Prior and all his tenants, free as well as bond, owe two suits of

court yearly, before the Lord Bishop's steward at Blackheathfield, which is in

the manor of Farnham. The Prior, for himself, denies the suit; the freemen

were to answer for themselves; the bondmen to appear twice a year to perform

that which the law required and belonged to the day's attendance. And

moreover all the men, free as well as bond, and all the tithing men of the

towns, villages, and hamlets of the entire manor and lordship of Crondale,

appeared at the View of Frank-pledge at the aforesaid Blackheathfield, and

were accustomed to attend from of old, from a time, and through a time, beyond

the memory of man, to present there such things as ought to be presented at

that day's attendance, according to the law and custom of the realm of

England. Nevertheless, the aforesaid Robert ((Rodebourne)), the late Prior,{1.

Elected Prior On 24 October, 1384, in succession to Prior Hugh de Basinge, who

died on 26 September, 1384. Prior Robert Rodebourne died On 20 January, 1394-

5, and was succeeded by Thomas Nevyle, who was elected Prior in February,

1394-5, and held the office for upwards of twenty years. On the 26 August,

1415, he resigned his dignity on account of his great age, weakness of body,

and incapacity of ruling and governing his priory.} and the Convent, held a

court by their steward in the manor of Crondale aforesaid, and caused the free

tenants to come to the same court, and again compelled them to swear in the

aforesaid court, upon the same articles upon which they were sworn at the Lord

Bishop's View of Frank-pledge at Blackheathfield aforesaid, oven in the time

of the present Bishop, contrary to the law and custom of the realm and of the

liberties and customs of the aforesaid church, to its grave injury and

prejudice, and also of the tenants aforesaid. Upon this matter it stands

agreed between the aforesaid parties as follows:- That all the free tenants of

Crondale, and all the tithingmen of the towns, villages, and hamlets of the

entire manor and lordship of Crondale aforesaid, together with four men of

each tithing, should attend, perform, and render two suits yearly, before the

steward of the aforesaid Bishop, and of his successors, the Bishops of

Winchester, at Blackheathfield, which is in the manor of Farnham, and to

present there such things as at the said day or day's attendance ought to be

presented, according to the law and custom of the realm of ((Page 50)) England;

and that the aforesaid Prior and Convent, or their successors, or any others

of whatsoever name, shall in no manner again call to account these tenants

upon the articles upon which they shall have been already charged before the

steward of the aforesaid Bishop or of his successors, in the aforesaid View of

Frank-pledge. {1. The Farnham View of Frank-pledge extended over a large

district. and the half-yearly attendance at Blackheathfield must have been a

sight. The following is a list of the places mentioned in the record of the

Court for the Turn of Hock, held on 20 March, 1539-40:- Co. Southampton. -

Crondale, Crokeham, Aldershotte, Yateley, Halley, Cove, Farnborow, Bentley,

Badley, Itchell, and Sutton. Co. Surrey. - Runvale Ecclesia, Churtt, Compton,

Frensham, Wreclesham, Runwyke, Seale, Elsted, Badshote, Tongham, Tylford,

Doyflod, Farnham Castle, and Farnham Borough.}

The very great care and completeness with which this account was kept is

most striking.

 

It is rendered to the Exchequer of St. Swithun's, Winchester, by the

Reeve, Gilbert, and by two who are called "Servientes" William and Henry, and

affords not only a criterion as to the "prices" of farm produce in A.D. 1248,

but some interesting glimpses as to farm life in a part of the country remote

from the main lines of traffic, which was probably then as secluded a spot as

can be imagined.

 

What position these "Servants" or "Serjeants" occupied on the farm, which

was apparently only visited at intervals by those above them in the service of

the Convent, does not seem clear. There is mention of William and Henry de

Cauz, doubtless kinsfolk of John of Caux the then Prior, who with a gamekeeper

have #1. 3s. 9 1/2d. allowed for their expenses from St. Michael's to St.

Dunstan's Day.

 

They appear to have been expected to entertain guests, mostly those

travelling on the business of the Monastery, and had to keep up a very

considerable "plant" for use in the hall. Thus in this one year no less than

1700 platters were purchased at the cost of 16 a penny. The Feast of St.

Swithun would seem to have been an occasion on which the guests were most

numerous. "The Lord Prior" apparently made one visit, which was an expensive

one, involving an extra outlay of #5. 18s. 11d., besides a very considerable

consumption of corn.

 

The next visitor in point of importance was the Steward Oliver, or the

Lord Oliver as he is once called, who made at least two visits to the farm.

 

Naturally these great personages were accompanied by a large retinue, the

providing for whose wants was a matter of consideration.

 

The Lord's arrival disposed of 9 quarters and 3 bushels of oats, and

"used 5 carcases and 1 quarter," and a considerable part, if not the whole, of

a cask of pulse; 12 geese also were disposed of on the occasion, with 45 fowls

and 12 cheeses; 3 1/2 quarters of barley were used, but whether it was all for

brewing is uncertain. The visit was in the autumn.

 

((Page 73))

The Steward's visits, though not so costly, were matters of consideration

to those responsible for the housekeeping. The bread made for his two comings

consumed a sack of wheat, and 3 sacks of oats were eaten by the horses at each

visit, which also accounted for 10 fowls and 2 geese.

 

Other guests were "Andrew the Monk and his Fellows," who ate up 4 geese,

"J. the Parson," the Prior of ----, the Prior's Marshall, "monks,

clerks, and others."

 

The work of the farm was carried on partly by "service" due from the

tenants, and partly by hands employed regularly, or as occasion required.

Many entries occur shewing that those owing services compounded by a money

payment for their acquittance. One carter seems to have had the general

control of the horses. There were four herdsmen, a keeper of the lambs, "one

daye," or dairy man, "an odd man who harrowed, led dung, and did other

necessary things." Besides, "one bearing the keys," who we may perhaps

conjecture was Master Gilbert, the Reeve himself, as he has the relatively

large stipend of 6s. 8d. a year. The forty-three plowers who ploughed in

winter and in Lent, and others who came in for occasional work or service, had

partial or entire board and lodging on the farm.

 

There are hardly sufficient data to determine the actual pay, because it

is clear that there was not only provision made for the necessaries of the

employed, but that they had various and varying privileges.

 

The money payment formed, as it did commonly until very recent times, or,

indeed, does perhaps still, only a portion of the wages.{1. See Professor J.

Thorold Rogers Six Centuries of Work and Wages, p. 170.}

 

The carter had 4s. a year. The herdsmen, 2s. 3d. each. The "dayeman" had

2s. The useful man who performed so many functions, 2s. 6d. The gamekeeper of

Bramshet moor was paid 3s., while the "keeper of lambs" had only 1s. 4d. An

item occurs which shows that the clothes of the lads, at any rate, were part

of their pay.

 

A doublet and pair of shoes for the use of the lad at Cheldwell, 18d.

The payments appear to have been according to a well-understood tariff and

custom. Thus, the men picking apples were paid 3s. 10d. and "drink without

bread."

 

One item fixes the rate of artisans' wages. The tiler and his labourer

have 4d. a day. This was rather less than London wages in 1350. The tiler in

London had 5 1/2d. from Easter to Michaelmas and 4 1/2d. from Michaelmas to

Easter. The labourer had 3 1/2d. and 3d. (Riley's Memorials.)

 

The repairs to buildings and apparatus are also interesting as shewing

prices of material and workmanship.

 

((Page 74))

It is clear that a considerable portion of the buildings was tiled, at

any rate the "hall and chamber"; 700 tiles, 50 hollow tiles, and 20 ridge

tiles were required for the repair, which occupied the tiler eight days.

These tiles cost 5s. 7d. The regulation price in London in 1350 was a maximum

of 5s. a thousand, but of course in this case the amount was raised by the

ridge tiles and the hollow tiles. Five quarters of lime were bought for 2s.

4d. The London price was 2d. a sack.

 

The summer of the year of this account had been very dry, involving an

extra outlay for "steel" on the ploughs costing 5s. 8d. Ploughshares were 8d.

each. Plough wheels, 1 1/2d. It cost 5s. for the shoes of ten farm horses

for the year, as they were used for the plough. The servants' nag, however,

alone cost 3s. 4d. for a year's shoeing.

 

Such work as hooping casks was done on the farm, a smith presumably

having to render service. A new cord for the well cost 9d. A great basket, 4

1/2d.

 

Sacks cost 3d. A great deal was paid for digging, but it is not easy to

see at what rate it was paid for.

 

During the year a large amount of fencing was done at Bramshete,

Chaldwell, and Rughesgarstone; much of it by "task work" at about 4d. a rod.

 

Peats were in requisition for fuel; 2,600 were bought at Bramshete moor

for 3s. 4d.

 

The produce of the farm included wheat, of which (?) 258 quarters 1 sack

2 bushels were grown.

 

White wheat, of which 1 quarter 1 bushel was grown. Barley, 106 quarters

1 sack 3 bushels. Oats, 237 quarters and 1 sack. Cummin, one pound. Beans,

2 quarters 2 bushels. Pease, 2 quarters 2 bushels. Vetches, 10 quarters 2

bushels. Honey, 63 "stoups." Cheese, of which 166 were made in the year.

Besides the live stock. Wheat sold at 5s. 6d. a quarter. Barley 3s. 4d. and

oats at 1s. 8d.

 

Comparing these figures with Commutation prices we have the following

result:-

Price, 1248, per qr. Commutation Price, 1836.

. s. d. #. s. d.

Wheat 5 6 2 16 2

Barley 3 4 1 11 8

Oats 1 8 1 2 0

 

which on an average gives the relative value of money as 10 1/2 times greater

in 1248 than 1836, which will, I think, work out fairly reasonably throughout

the account.

 

The lord appears to have made many gifts in kind in addition to the

allowances which most of the employed had "by custom."

 

((Page 75))

As to the mode of cultivation we have mention of dung being spread and

also of marl, of winter-sown wheat and barley.

 

The account is made up by first accounting for money received:-

1. From the rent of the manor (see Dr. Jessop's Village Life 600 Years Ago), from which are deducted the acquittances and defaults. Leaving a balance of gavel #39. 15s. 2 3/4d.

2. Money received for things sold other than corn, and from some privileges, including two legacies received, amounting to #23. 13s. 3 1/2d.

3. Money received from sale of corn, #26s. 0s. 1 1/2d.

4. Money received from fines in the Court Baron and Court Leet, among which are the very curious privileges extended to various Tithings that they may present sentences of the Crown. These items come to #33. 5s. 2d., making the whole money produce #123. 14s. 9 3/4d., nearly #1300 of our money.

 

The account then gives the necessary expenses in working the farm which

come to #28. 3s. 6 1/2d.

 

Next the outside expenses, such as were involved by the duties of

hospitality, etc., #11. 16s. 4d.

 

Then the taxes and payments to the Crown, #67. 3s. 8 1/2d.

 

So that when all was paid there remained for the Priory Exchequer in cash

#16. 11s. 2 3/4d.

 

The taxes come to the awful figure of something over 10s. 6d. in the #.

 

There are many local terms of weight, etc., for which it is difficult to

find a modern equivalent.

 

Thus honey was worth 2s. 6d a stoup, which may, I think, have been

50lbs., but there is not much to guide one. Cheese and wool were sold by the

"weigh," we have no information as to the number of pounds it represented in

this account, but Prof. Thorold Rogers says 224lbs. Baily gives 256lbs. as

its equivalent.
