THE tenures and customs of the Manor of Crondal appear to have drifted into a
state of some confusion and uncertainty soon after the establishment of the
present Capitular Body in 1541. So that not long after the accession of Queen
Elizabeth, the Dean and Chapter and the tenants put an end to all
uncertainties by drawing up a new Customary for the Manor. It must have been
a work of some time to have drafted and settled all the particulars connected
with it. However, it was ultimately shaped into the form of an Indenture made
between the Dean and Chapter and the tenants of the Manor, dated 10th October,
1567, and duly sealed by each of the parties, with a series of schedules
annexed to the said Indenture, setting out the names of all the tenants, their
several holdings, rents and other services. All this appears to have been
settled at the holding of the Manorial Court of the Hundred for the turn of
St. Martin; and at the next Court, being that held for the turn of Hock, in
the following March, every tenant surrendered his estate and had re-seizin of
it from the hands of the steward, thereby accepting a new title to it, direct
from the Capitular Body and subject to the specifications set forth in the
Indenture and schedules annexed. The Indenture forms in itself a very
important record as to the customs and usages of the Manor, and the schedules
give us minute particulars of every holding belonging thereto, - not only the
names of all the tenants, but the extent of their holdings, the names and
designation of the different estates, fields, acreage, etc. The Indenture
extends to such a length that, although set out in a closely written form, it
occupies two and a half large skins of parchment, each skin (except the third,
which is fourteen inches long) measuring thirty-six inches in width and
twenty-eight inches in length. The schedules consist of thirty skins, nineteen
inches wide and twenty-seven inches long. The Indenture is in English, and
the spelling of the words has been followed carefully in the text. The
entries upon the schedules are in Latin, with the exception of a few English
words here and there, and a few lines with respect to certain customary works.
Owing to the ((Page 157)) great extent of the schedules we insert a translation
of them only. Due care has been taken to give in every instance a close
rendering of the original. All the English words are spelt exactly as they
are written, and a few explanatory notes have been added.
There are two copies of this Indenture and schedules extant. The first
is in the possession of the Dean and Chapter of Winchester Cathedral. This
copy has the seals of the tenants affixed to it, hanging from nineteen tabs or
strips of parchment; each of these are divided into two, so that there were
thirty-eight fillets for the seals. Several of these fillets have been torn
off and nearly two thirds of the seals are gone; but fifty-five seals or
fragments of seals still remain, containing impressions of letters and devices
from a variety of ring seals. At the top of the tabs, on the piece of
parchment which comes through the lower part of the skins of the indenture and
schedules, are written the names of the tithings, and on the turn-np the names
of some of the tenants - 1. "Sutton Warblington," and below it, on the turn-
up, "Stephen Terry"; and in like manner - 2. "Long Sutton, - By me Rad.
Strope, by me Egidium Poulet." Next is Swanthrop, followed by Crokeham,
Dippenhaull, Hawley, Yately, and Aldershott. Some of the tithings occupy two
or three of the tabs; for instance, Yately commences with the twelfth tab, and
ends with the sixteenth, and Aldershot the seventeenth to the nineteenth.
The skins containing the Indenture are in a damaged state, owing to their
being folded over the schedules, and have partly perished from the effects of
mildew. The schedules are in a fair state of preservation, except that the
fourth and fifth skins of the Crokeham tithing are mouldering from the rot
caused by damp. The first of the Yately skins is in a similar state, and
likewise skins three and four of the Hawley tithing; and the last skin of the
schedules is somewhat rubbed and discoloured.
The second copy of this Document is in the possession of the parish of
Aldershot.{1. The Dean and Chapter's copy of this Record was kept formerly in
an oak box made for the purpose; and in the return made to Parliament by the
Chapter Clerk, dated 6 May. 1800, it is stated that, "in the box where the
Customary of Crondall is deposited, there is a memorandum that copies of the
same are kept in the churches of Crondall, Yately, and Aldershot." This
memorandum has long since disappeared, and owing to the great extent of the
document itself, we are inclined to believe that the Aldershot copy was the
only duplicate, and that the memorandum simply meant that it was to be kept in
one of these churches.} It is in a fine state of preservation, and ((Page 158))
has appended to it the common seal of the Dean and Chapter of Winchester
Cathedral, hanging from a twisted silk cord of two colours, crimson and green,
by which the Indenture and schedules are tied together. The seal is
unfortunately imperfect; the upper portion is broken off; and this is to be
regretted, as it is the impression of a much finer seal than the one
afterwards in use, and apparently the first seal of the new Chapter. The
clean and perfect state of this copy is due to its having been kept securely
locked up in a large chest in the belfry of Aldershot Church: even its very
existence was forgotten. It was in 1857, while on a visit at Aldershot, we
noticed this chest in the belfry, and curiosity prompted us to ascertain what
was in it, as it had evidently not been opened for very many years. The
incumbent kindly promised to enquire if the keys were extant, and if not, to
call in the village blacksmith, so as to have it opened in our presence. The
keys, however, being at last discovered at a farm-house, on receiving a letter
to that effect,{1. "Aldershot. Dec. 16, 1857. Dear Mr. Baigent. - You will he
glad to hear that I have succeeded in tracing the keys of the Belfry chest,
and that they are now in my possession; and when you come here again at any
time, we shall have no difficulty in indulging your praiseworthy curiosity
among the musty records. - Yours truly. James Dennett."} we made another
journey to Aldershot. On trying the keys, the locks were so rusty that the
assistance of the blacksmith had to be obtained after all. The interior
showed an immense cobweb thick with dust, covering the breadth and length of
the chest. On breaking through this we found this copy of the Customary and a
quarto volume of some of the particulars arranged in a tabulated form,
together with some old churchwardens' bills and other loose memoranda: from
the latest date of these, it appeared that the chest had not been opened,
apparently, for seventy or eighty years.
The growing importance of Aldershot, having led to the appointment of a
vestry clerk, the document has since been placed in the custody of Mr. Richard
Eve, who claims the official right of holding it. We have been permitted by
his kindness to collate our transcript of the Cathedral copy with it, and have
thus been enabled to supply the defective portions.{2. The words inserted
between brackets, denote the extent of our indebtedness to the Aldershot copy,
in completing the text of the Indenture and schedules.} There is a paragraph
in the Aldershot transcript relating to the "Clerke's Croft," which is not in
the Cathedral copy. This portion we had ((Page 159)) copied in 1857 among other
extracts made from the Record at that time, and it is now several years since
we first discovered that this particular portion was not inserted in the
Cathedral copy.
