INTRODUCTION.
THE Hundred of Crondal forms the north-east part of the county of Hants, and
extends on the north and east sides to the Blackwater River, which separates
Hampshire from the adjacent portions of the counties of Berkshire and Surrey.
It comprises a large tract of land extending over an area of nearly 29,000
acres, and was given to the Cathedral Church of Winchester as far back as
Anglo-Saxon days towards the support of the Bishop and monks. It was formed
previous to the Conquest into an ecclesiastical district, and placed entirely
under the supervision of the Rector of Crondal, with the exception of a small
portion on the east side, containing about 2200 acres, forming the parish of
Farnborough, which was taken out of its area and constituted a separate
parish, retaining its own tithes. The remainder of this large district had in
course of time to be provided with chapels in the outlying portions, and sub-
divided into tithings, though of late years the districts of these chapels
have obtained the designation of parishes instead of tithings. The district
forming the northern portion is called Yateley, and contains 10,036 acres; the
southernmost, Aldershot, contains 4144 acres; the western portion, Long
Sutton, contains 2267 acres; and the name of Crondal is localized to the
portion south of Yateley and west of Aldershot, and bounded by Long Sutton on
the west, containing 9614 acres. The chapelry of Yateley included the
tithings of Yateley, Hawley, Bremshete, and Southwood, as well as Minley and
Cove. The district of Crondal included the tithings of Crokeham, Swanthrop,
and Dippenhall, the manor of Itchel or tithing of Eweshot, and the Badley
estate now called Clare Park. The chapelry of Aldershot had no subdivisions,
although it contained certain exempted lands belonging to Waverley Abbey,
annexed to their grange of Tongham. The chapelry of Long Sutton had three
divisions. The most important of these was the northern half of the district
or parish, which extended along its entire length from ((Page xvi)) east and
west; and it is presumed that the shape and extent of this division led to its
distinctive appellation of Long Sutton. The southern portion consisted of two
manors: the western one ultimately acquired the name of Sutton Warblington,
owing to its having passed into the hands of the Warblington family,{1. This
was the earlier form of the surname given as Warbelton, in pp. 31, 32, 39,
425, and in p. 43. as Warblyngtone, and Warblyntone in p. 427.} although a few
years afterwards it came again into the hands of the Cathedral Priory. The
third or remaining portion was called the manor of La Welle, and was held by
military service in the 13th century by the St. Martin family, and afterwards
by the Byflete family.
The entire hundred was for the most part a vast tract of heath and gorse
lands, with portions of land here and there brought into cultivation, by the
irrigation of the Blackwater River and the favourable proximity of a number of
small streams; and another stream from Borley Hill which wended its way to a
low tract of land called La Fleet, formed the two large ponds known as the
Fleet ponds. This part of Hampshire attracted but little attention, until the
Government resolved to increase and perfect, as far as was possible, their
military forces by the formation of camps for the drilling and practising of
large bodies of troops. The wide areas of heath and common land at Aldershot,
and extending into the parishes of Crondal, Farnborough, and Yateley, were
deemed most fitting for the purpose; and 1854 the Government purchased these
large tracts of land, and established a military camp on a very extensive
scale, the camps proper being divided into two portions, distinguished as the
North Camp and the South Camp, consisting of ranges of wooden huts in parallel
lines; to the south of which permanent barracks were erected, and various
other buildings suitable for the accommodation of the troops. Besides all
this, in 1890, extensive building operations were commenced for the
construction of new barracks in the South Camp, and nearly a million and a
half of money is to be spent in new structures and in rebuilding and enlarging
the old barracks and huts. The village has since grown into a considerable
town, consisting of several streets, well paved, and lighted with gas, and has
also the accommodation of a large railway station, schools, and other public
buildings. The ((Page xvii)) other parishes of the hundred of Crondal have also
participated in the general prosperity attendant upon an increasing
population. The erection of numerous villas in the different hamlets and
tithings, as well as district Churches, has changed the appearance of the
neighbourhood in every direction, so that the outline map is intended to
indicate its past rather than its present appearance; large portions of land
marked as waste being now covered with buildings, or allotted out as building
sites, fenced in, and connected by new roads.{1. The population of Aldershot
in 1851 was 875; in 1861 it was 16720; and now, in 1891, ((*blank*)). Crondal
and its tithings in 1851 contained a population of 2431, and in 1881, 3188;
Farnborough 477, and in 1881, 3538; Yately 2156, in 1881, 3043; Long Sutton
339, in 1881, 310. The assessments were in 1851 about as follows:- Aldershot
#2195, Crondal #8319, Farnborough #3028, Yateley #2743, Long Sutton #2080, and
in 1891 they had respectively increased to #51,452; #18,196; #16,594; #21,013;
and #1972. A return made in 1882 states that the War Department owned 1205
acres of land in Aldershot, in Crondal 1165, in Cove 1167, in Farnborough 636,
and in Hawley and Minley 200 acres; and the rateable value as #16,473.}
Some early entrenchments exist on the range of chalk hills on the south
side of Crondal and Aldershot; and there is also an ancient encampment, called
Caesar's camp, upon an elevated plain, which recalls the time when the country
was occupied by the Romans. That they were quietly and peacefully settled in
the neighbourhood was proved by the discovery, in 1817, of the remains of a
large villa and a beautifully executed tessellated pavement in a field hard by
Badley pound-farm. In the year 1828, about a mile or a little more below the
range of hills, at a place on the heath not far off the line of the ancient
road from Winchester to London, was discovered a collection of Merovingian and
other gold coins, over a hundred in number, with the remains of the purse in
which they had been enclosed. These coins were either lost or deposited there
by the owner, probably a moneyer, when crossing the heath in the seventh or
eighth century.
From this early period we pass on to the records and documents contained
in the present volume. The earliest written notice of Crondal occurs in the
will of King Alfred, A.D. 880-885, and it is mentioned among the lands which
he bequeathed to Elthelm his nephew. The next document is, apparently, the
will of Bishop AElfsige, who held the See of Winchester from 951 to 958, and
contains the bequest of the reversion of Crondal to Winchester Cathedral:-
"and I grant the land at Crundele, after my life, to AElfheah, and after his
life ((Page xviii)) let it go to the Old Monastery." A few years later we have
the will of AElfheah, or Elphege, the beforementioned legatee, stating that he
gives the land at Crondal to the Old Monastery; and thus it is that the
ancient list of "The names of the founders and benefactors of the Church of
Winchester and of the monks there serving God," records that "Elphege, the
prefect, gave Crondal with its appurtenances." After this, we have in 976,
the solemn gift, or rather a royal confirmation, of Crondal to the Old
Monastery, by King Edgar, which sets out not only its extent, but also its
boundaries. The boundaries are minutely detailed, and we hoped at one time
that they would have been traced out for us, in such a manner as to enable us
to map them out; but in this we have been disappointed. The perambulation
appears to begin on the west side; but whether it included Sutton is doubtful.
It then went up by Dogmersfield and Elvetham to Hartford Bridge flats, called
Hnaef's shelf: then westward by the side of the road, and then up by Eversley
and Dudda's Brook. Thence it follows the course of the river Blackwater right
along down to Ash-bridge; thence round by Aldershot; and then south and west
by Crondal and Sutton; and so round to the starting place, called Isenhurst
gate. In 979 we have King Ethelred's grant (or rather, his charter),
restoring Long Sutton to Winchester Cathedral. It states that it was formerly
included in Crondal, and that it was to be united again to it, as one
property. The boundaries of the land are set out, though they afford little
or no assistance as regards identification of them. To a later date still are
to be assigned the few lines which describe the boundaries between Crondal and
Elvetham. The next document seems to refer to a release - a sort of quit-
claim, or extinction of some indirect or reversionary right - in order to
perfect the title of the Cathedral Monastery to the Crondal lands. It
testifies that, on Palm Sunday, 13th April, 979, one, Elnoth, came to
Winchester, and in the presence of Bishop AEthelwold placed on the altar of
the Blessed Peter, at the Old Monastery, the charter which his brother Ulric
had granted of the manor of Crondal, and that this gift or restitution of it
should remain without suit or contention unto the same holy place for ever.
Our next particulars about Crondal are derived from Domesday Book. Here
we have something more definite, ((Page xix)) as it does those precise details
which give to this well-known survey its distinctive character and value. It
states that Bishop Walkelin held Crondal for the support of the monks of his
Cathedral Church; and that Itchel and Cove, assessed at eight hides, were held
under the Bishop by the tenure, known not long afterwards, as military or
knight service; also that there was a small estate at Badley held by socage or
service tenure. Long Sutton was held by two tenants under a similar tenure to
that of Itchel and Cove. And Odin de Windsore held Farnborough in like
manner, under the Bishop, and it was assessed at three hides.
In the reign of King Edward I, AD. 1284, we have some interesting
documents which give us the particulars of the services which the Prior and
Convent of Winchester and their tenants of Crondal had to render to the Bishop
of Winchester, and the services which they owed to the Bishop's manor of
Farnham. Two years later occurs a Royal writ ordering a jury to be summoned
by the sheriff of the county, so that an Inquest might be held at Farnham,
before the King's Justices, concerning the chaces which belonged to the Bishop
of Winchester, and the chaces belonging to the Prior. The result of the
Inquest, as is set forth, states that the Bishop was entitled and that all his
predecessors were accustomed to chase in all the lands and woods of the Bishop
and his men, and in all the lands and woods of the Prior of Winchester and his
men, throughout the County of Southampton. Also, that the Prior was entitled
and that all his predecessors were accustomed to chase, in all the lands and
woods of the Prior and his men throughout the County of Southampton, excepting
the lands and woods which are in the Chace of Crondal and the appurtenant
parts of the same Chace, where the Prior is not entitled neither were his
predecessors accustomed to chase; because the aforesaid Chace of Crondal was
at one time the King's Forest, and up to the time of Bishop Peter de Roches,
formerly Bishop of Winchester, who purchased that Chace from the Lord King.
After that purchase, the aforesaid Peter and all his successors were
accustomed to chase therein; but apart from this fact the Prior or his
predecessors were accustomed to chase in it.
A series of charters and quit-claims, which have survived the wholesale
destruction of muniments in the 16th century, relating ((Page xx)) to lands in
Long Sutton and Crondal, and executed between the years 1220 and 1341, contain
many particulars of local interest. They occupy the next few pages of the
book, and are followed by a transcript of a letter of manumission, dated in
1418, in favour of John Jan, son of a bondsman of the Manor of Crondal; an
account of the knights' fees within the Manor of Crondal, commencing with the
list drawn up in 1165; and other similar returns down to the year 1316. These
lists refer to estates held independently of the Cathedral Priory, and
consequently not named in any of the court, customary, or compotus rolls
belonging to the Priory or the Cathedral Chapter. There are also various
entries of a similar character, down to the latter end of the 15th century,
and some entries of law-suits in the reign of Edward I. A few documents
occur, relating to the earlier owners of the estate now called Clare, in the
parish of Crondal, but anciently included under Badeley, as mentioned in
Domesday Book. In 1364, the Crondal tenants complained to the King that the
Prior and Convent were exacting from them additional services and customs,
which had not been demanded heretofore of their ancestors, the tenants of the
same manor. Writs of right were thereupon issued to the Prior, and to the
sheriff of the county, and a writ for the tenants to give security for the
prosecution of the suit. Finally, in 1398, we have an agreement drawn up
between the Bishop of Winchester and the Prior and Convent of the Cathedral,
as to the attendance of the Crondal tenants at the two Views of Frank-pledge,
held yearly at Blackheathfield, in Farnham.
COMPOTUS DE CRONDAL - This document commences another and distinct
section of the volume, beginning with page 51 and ending with the Sutton
Rental, page 141. It includes two plates, facsimiles, facing pp. 52 and 84.
These plates, besides showing the cramped and abbreviated writing, allow the
comparison of a small portion of the original entries with the printed text.
For this very important section, the reader is indebted solely to the Very
Reverend the Dean of Winchester, who kindly and voluntarily undertook the
irksome task of copying the originals, making the translations, and passing
the pages through the press, as well as contributing the descriptive account
of the Compotus Roll and Glossary, given ((Page xxi)) in the Appendix, pp. 505-
512. We trust, nevertheless, that the following short summary may not be
deemed intrusive.
The Prior's Compotus Roll of 1248 contains the particulars of the
receipts and expenditure of the manor of Crondal for the year ending 29th
September, 1248, classed under the headings of rents, acquittances, defaults,
and the payment of a pound of cumin seed; the sums of money received from
incidental resources, from the sale of corn, and from perquisites;
disbursements, expenses - necessary and extraordinary, and sundry payments:
the receipts and outgoings of the grange, in wheat, rye, barley, oats, beans,
peas and vetches; live stock, - cart horses, horses, colts, oxen, cows,
heifers, twinters and yearlings, calves, ewes, rams, muttons, hoggets, and
lambs; skins, wool, cheese, pigs, honey, ploughshares, hens, chicken bacon and
meat in the larder; cider, geese, and hives. All the particulars under these
headings are given with the characteristic minuteness usual in the compotus
rolls of the early part of the 13th century.
This is followed by a copy of the Compotus of the same year relating to
the Manor of Long Sutton, and the entries are of a similar character to the
Crondal account.
The next document is taken from a manuscript volume containing the
rentals and customs of the different manors belonging to Saint Swithun's
Priory, written, in the reign of Edward II, by John de Guildford, a
professional scribe. The portion printed contains the rents, services and
customs of the Manor of Crondal. It is a most interesting record, as it gives
the names of the tenants, the extent of their holdings, with the customary
services, rents payable in money and kind, and many other particulars classed
under the headings of the tithings of Crondal, Swanthrop, Yateley, Bremshot,
and Hawley, Southwood, Aldershot, Dippenhall and Crokeham. This record is
followed by a copy of the rental roll of Sutton for the year 1351 (page 135)
and it is a serviceable addition, as the estate to which it refers is the
Manor of Sutton Warblington, which had only recently come into the hands of
the Cathedral Priory. This brings us to the end of this particular section of
the book.
COURT ROLL.-A copy of the earliest existing court roll relating to the
hundred of Crondal. It gives the particulars of ((Page xxii)) the hundred
court, for the term of St. Martin, held on the 20th October, 1281, and of the
next court, for the term Hock, held on 4th April, 1282. The entries
illustrate the various sources of income accruing to the Cathedral Priory at
the holding of these half-yearly courts.
We now reach the longest and most important record, THE CRONDAL CUSTOMARY
of 1567. It was the proposed publication of this document that led to the
compilation of this collection of records relating to the Hundred and Manor of
Crondal. The existence of the Aldershot copy of the customary, a great bundle
of parchment skins covered with writing, had of late years become generally
known in the neighbourhood to those interested in topographical and parochial
matters, and it was often urged that such an important local record ought
certainly to be published; but nothing definite was done till the year 1887 or
i888, when the Rev. Charles Drummond Stooks, M.A., vicar of Yateley, took the
matter in hand, and obtained subscriptions from the principal inhabitants of
the neighbourhood, and by his zeal, kindly efforts and perseverance, a
sufficient sum was raised to pay for a transcript and translation of this
particular record. This done, an estimate was obtained of the cost of
printing the document. Fortunately, just at this time, the establishment of
the Hampshire Record Society opened a new channel for its publication, and it
was decided to allow it to form a portion of a volume containing a collection
of documents and records relating to the Hundred and Manor of Crondal. At the
same time, in order that its importance should not be diminished by its
incorporation with other documents, its contents have been given as a separate
index, (pp. 523-530).
The Customary is set forth in the indenture, executed between the Dean
and Chapter of Winchester Cathedral of the one part, and of the tenants of the
Manor of Crondal of the other part, and the particulars contained in it are
thus expressed in a brief declaration of the ancient customs of the Hundred

tenants by hallmote; the extent of their holdings, the names of the different
copyholds, fields, and acreage, with the rent and other burdens therefor due.
At the end of the record, we have given in a few pages a summary of the
schedules, containing the names of all the tenants, with the amounts of yearly
rents, fines, and heriots, mentioned in the 196 pages, being the extent of the
printed text of the schedules.
The next document is a statement of the fees payable to the steward and
clerk of the lands, as agreed upon by the steward and tenants of Crondal on
9th September, 1672, with the consent of the Dean and Treasurer of Winchester
Cathedral.
THE YATELEY TITHE CASE. - A transcript of the account of a law suit tried
in 1606 in the King's Court at Westminster, with respect to disputes as to the
extent and manner of collecting the tithes, which had arisen between certain
tenants and the lessee of the tithes. It is a lengthened document somewhat
wearisome to read, owing to the many repetitions and the legal verbiage in
which it is written; yet it is full of interesting details as to the manner
and customs observed in the collection of certain tithes within the parish of
Yateley, and the payment of Easter dues and marriage fees.
We now reach the last section of the book. This division gives an
account of the manor of Itchel and Cove, a large ((Page xxv)) freehold estate,
divided into two parts, and ultimately regarded as separate manors, held of
the Bishops of Winchester by military service until the abolition of that form
of tenure by statute in 1660. In the reign of Henry III this estate came into
the hands of Walter Giffard, Bishop of Bath and Wells, and afterwards
Archbishop of York. Its proximity to Dogmersfield, the favourite resort of
the Bishops of Bath and Wells,{. The manor of Dogmersfield was granted to the
See of Bath by Henry I, and continued in the possession of the Bishops of Bath
and Wells till the year 1548. when it was alienated by the notorious Bishop
Barlow, and granted to Thomas Wriothesley, Earl of Southampton.} no doubt led
to its acquisition by Bishop Giffard, probably with the intention of adding it
to the episcopal property of the Bishoprick of Bath and Wells, or perhaps as
an endowment for a chantry. But, being shortly afterwards translated to the
Archiepiscopal See of York, he ceased to take any further interest in the
Bishoprick of Bath and Wells; and at his death the property passed into the
hands of his brother, Godfrey Giffard, Bishop of Worcester, and was afterwards
inherited by John Giffard, his nephew and heir,
In 1379 Sir John Giffard obtained permission of the Bishop of Winchester
to enlarge the park at Itchel; and, as the conditions attached to this
concession are somewhat singular, they seem to deserve a passing notice:- He
undertook for himself and his heirs or assigns, to pay and render to the said
Bishop, and to his successors the Bishops of Winchester, at their Castle of
Farnham, yearly, on the feast of St. Peter called Ad vincula (1st August), a
good bow, new, competent, comely, and sufficient, with a suitable string, and
six barbed arrows, new, competent, and sufficient, well winged with peacock
feathers; and in like manner, between the first day of December and the first
day of February, in each year, a competent fallow deer from the aforesaid
park, when the same John, his heirs or assigns, shall be reasonably called
upon to do so, by the servants of the Bishop or his successors, and the said
John, his heirs or assigns, were to capture at their own cost the aforesaid
fallow deer and send it to the Castle of Farnham, there to be delivered to the
Bishop's servants.
The Itchel estate continued in the hands of the Giffard family till the
reign of Queen Elizabeth, when it was acquired ((Page xxvi)) by Henry
Wriothesley, Earl of Southampton (who at that time was engaged in erecting a
large mansion at Dogmersfield), for the purpose of adding it to his
Dogmersfield estate. The Earl is stated to have died at the manor house of
Itchel on the 4th October, 1581, in the thirty-sixth year of his age. The
subsequent descent of the manor is briefly stated on page 468.
In the time of the Commonwealth the manor of Crondal, which included all
the parish except the tithing of Eweshot, was sold to Nicholas Love, Esq., the
eldest son of the Warden of Winchester College; but, at the Restoration, the
Dean and Chapter recovered possession of it, and it continued in their hands
until within the last few years, when it passed with the other capitular
estates into the hands of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners.
There is a large manor or tithing in the parish of Yateley, called
Minley, belonging to Mr. Bertram Woodhouse Currie, the boundaries of which are
set out from a perambulation made in 1516.{1. p473} Documents relating to the
Fleet Ponds, so well known from their contiguity to the South Western Railway,
and their covering about 110 acres of ground, are given, which show that from
the early part of the sixteenth century they were leased out by the Cathedral
authorities, from time to time. The earliest lease,{2. p451} A.D. 1505-6,
contains a clause, exacting as rent for the fishery of the ponds, a hundred of
the fishes, - pikes, tenches, perches, breams, and roaches, which were to be
caught at the costs of the lessees, and taken and delivered at Saint Swithun's
Priory, Winchester, in a good and fresh state, yearly, in the time of Lent, or
between the feasts of Easter and Pentecost. In subsequent leases a yearly
payment of 20s. for the fishery is exacted in lieu of the hundred fishes, and
this amount shows that the fish delivered must have been of large size to have
represented a similar value.
The last document given is the assessment of a lay subsidy granted to the
King James I, in 1621. It is a transcript of all the entries appertaining to
the hundred of Crondal. The total assessment amounts to #50. 10s. 4d.,
including the Liberty of Bentley,{3. Bentley Liberty contains 2288 acres of
land, and the population in 1851 was 732} which is inserted in this return
among the tithings and parishes situated within the hundred of Crondal.
((Page xxvii))
THE APPENDIX (pp. 481-512), is a valuable and useful contribution, - a
catalogue of the documents relating to Crondal manor, in the possession of the
Dean and Chapter of Winchester. For this important addition to the volume, we
are indebted to the kindness of the Dean of Winchester. Although it occupies
but a few pages, the labour bestowed upon it, and the time consumed in its
compilation and passing it through the press, must have been very great, and
the difficulty and tediousness of the work a trial of patience.
For the two indices, we are indebted to the Rev. G. W. Minns, LL.B.,
vicar of Weston, near Southampton, to whom we tender our sincere thanks for
this kindness, and all the trouble taken in their compilation; for a good
index is a very important feature in a work of this character.

Mr. Edwards was refused access, and Mr. Kemble also was not allowed to see it.
A.D. 925-940. The Will of Bishop AElfsige.{1. It is not unlikely that this is
the Will made by Bishop AElfsige, on his leaving the diocese by reason of his
translation to the Archiepiscopal See of Canterbury in 958. Mr. Edwards calls
it the Will of "AEfsige, a bishop," as if he was merely a coadjutor bishop, -
but the legacies are too important. AElfsige became Bishop of Winchester in
951. The dates assigned by Mr. Edwards as being within the period of this
Will are of course conjectural. The Archbishop-Elect in going to Rome for the
pallium was frozen to death on the Alps.}

referring to Crondal:- "And I gyve the londis at Crundal, aftyr my day, to
Elfege, and aftyr hys day go hyt in to the Olde Monasterye at Wynchester." -

Translation of the Anglo-Saxon copy by the late Mr. Edward Edwards:-
A.D. 925-940. This is the Will of AELFSIGE the Bishop:- That is then,
first, that I will that every man who hath been condemned to serfdom, in ((Page
3)) the Bishoprick (whether on his own account, or on account of his Lord the
King) be set free. And ((I grant)) to my Lord the King my heriots, and the land
at Taunton that he granted to me. And I grant the land at Crundele, after my
life, to AELFHEAH, and after his life let it go to the Old Monastery ((at
Winchester)). And I grant to my nephew the land at Anne, for his life, and
after his life to the New Monastery ((at Winchester)). And the land at the two
Worthys to my kinswoman for so long as her life shall be; and afterwards, let
that land, and the land at Clere, and all the other that my father owned, go
to my sister and to my nephew. And the land at Tichborne to WLFRIC CUFING for
his life, and after his life to the Old Monastery ((at Winchester.)) And the
land at Ringwood ((also)) to the Old Monastery, as it was formerly bequeathed.
And to AELFWIG the land at Chilton after the life of the widow. And to WLFRIC
of Wickham the land at Letley. Then pray I thee, my beloved friend AElfheah,
that thou be guardian as well of ((the disposition of)) these lands, as of those
who are my relations; and that thou do not suffer that any one turn this
((i.e., these bequests)) in any other wise. If any one so do, may God destroy
him, both in soul and body, both here and in the life to come; unless I myself
turn it otherwise ((i.e., unless I revoke or alter this my Will)).
Ibid. p. 343.

Crondal, there is no for its continuation here, beyond noticing that he gives
to AElfhere, his brother, the land at Faringdon and at Aldingbourn (aet
Faerndunae and aet Ealdincburnan). It is noteworthy that Ealdingburnan, as
well as Crundel, occur in King Alfred's bequests to his nephew, Ethelm. The
testator also gives to Elfwine, his sister's son, the land at Froxfield (aet
Froxafelda), and it is presumed that this refers to Froxfield in Hampshire.}
Translation. Here is made known, by this writing, how Elfeah ealdorman
has declared his testament, with the permission of his royal lord. That then
is first, that he gives to his Lord, for his soul's welfare, the land at
Ellendon and that at Crondal, to the Old Monastery at Winchester; and the
twenty hides at Charlton to Malmesbury, and the hides at Sutton to Bath.....
The concluding words are:- And of this permission which the king has granted
me, are to witness Elfthryth, the king's wife, and Athelwold ((Page 4)) bishop,
and Elfhere ealdorman, and Ethelwine ealdorman, and Elfwine, and Escwig abbat.

"Elphegus praefectus (dedit) Crundal cum pertinenciis." There is a similar

The gift of King Edgar of Crundel to the Old Monastery.
A.D. 976. OUR Lord Jesus Christ reigning for over! Inasmuch as
we read in the volumes by whose precious and most salutary words we are daily
taught, that this only remains to man of all his work in this world and of all
his possessions in the days of his vanity, if intent on good works he shall
have expended anything in alms-deeds and in ministering to the necessities of
his neighbours as far as his resources allow, to make for himself according to
our Saviour's precepts friends of the mammon of iniquity who may receive him
into the eternal tabernacles. Wherefore I, Edgar, ruler of all Albion, have
granted to the church of the Venerated Trinity, lovingly dedicated to Peter
and his co-apostle Paul, in the city of Winchester, as a perpetual pension for
the support of the monks dwelling therein, for ((the propitiation)) of my sins
and those of ((Page 6)) my sons, and of the people of the entire kingdom, as a
perpetual possession, a certain portion of land, forty five cassates, in the
famous place which is called by the well known name Crundel, seventeen years
having passed since I obtained the rule of the entire English nation, but in
the first year of my royal coronation. Let the aforesaid territory be free
from the burden of all land service, three kinds excepted, namely warlike
expeditions duly sanctioned, the repair of bridges and fortresses. If
therefore any one shall wish to transfer this our gift to any other purpose
than that to which we have appointed, may he be deprived of membership of the
holy church of God and punished in the eternal fires of doleful hell together
with Judas the betrayer of Christ and his accomplices, if he shall not have
made due satisfaction for what he has offended against our decree. The land
is encircled by these boundaries.
First, from Isenhurst gate to blackthorn way, then to the northernmost
way, and so to Ethelrede's park at Withigham; thence to the boundary into the
brickkilns; thence along the boundary to Gistearde's well; thence along the
boundary to the Witantree at the cleared firwood; thence to that strong gate,
so to the deep dell; thence to the springs of the (river) Icel to
Ethelbrihte's boundary at Ylfetham; thence out upon the heathfield to
Fugelmere, so to Bromhurst and along the bourn to Bedecanley, thence over all
the heathfield up to Hnaef's shelf; thence west along the boundary to the
road; thence west to Coelbrihte's stone and so west to the main dike, so to
the boundary to Everscombe; thence along the boundary to Mules fen, thence to
Dudda's brook and along the stream to Bryda's ford, thence to Fearnleyford, so
into Escesslew; thence along the stream into Runingfealle's swamp, thence
along the stream up to Emice's bank; thence along the way to the Wulfrusca's,
thence forth to the Heathfield hall ; and along the boundary to the highgate,
then to Lilles beam, thence forth upon the boundary to Bentley boundary; so on
to the heathen burial-place; thence west to the boundary where Elfstan lieth
in heathen burial; thence to Badeca's dean (i.e. hollow), so forth to Sibbe's
way, thence to Wulfstane's boundary at Weargeburn; then to Cannen dean at its
west end, then to Pattingdean at its west end; then to Hegley towards
Ceolege's tree, then forth to the deep furrow where the Deocca-barns stood; so
into Wifele's boundary, thence into the broken hill (i.e. landslip), so to
Hamsted wells on their north side, then again to Isenhurst gate.

King Ethelred's Gift of Suthun. ((Long Sutton)).
A. D. 979. SINCE the frailty of human life is daily enfeebled by change,
and the full course of ages vanishes in decay, we are taught by the warnings
of the orthodox (teachers) to endeavour industriously by means of these
transitory things to purchase the happiness of eternal life. Therefore, I,
Ethelred, ruler of all Britain, have given in perpetuity a certain piece of
land, namely five cassates, in the famous place at Suthtune, to the bishop
most dear to me, called Ethelwold, that it may for ever be profitable to God's
church dedicated to Peter and Paul in the city of Winchester, over which he
rules; in such wise that none of my successors may presume to take away that
portion of land from God's church: more especially since this domain is the
first which since our royal coronation, I have given to our Lord Jesus Christ
as the first-fruits of our gifts. The aforesaid portion of territory indeed,
had been formerly subject to the domain which is called Crundel, which I
devoutly restoring, as formerly Edred the king and then my father Edgar had
done, have taken measures by a new Deed to firmly establish by the help of the
grace of the Lord so that it should comprise fifty manses united in one
(property). The five manses which I add over and above the others, one
Ethelbriht the steward gave to my father as by right of inheritance, but the
charters of the land, mislaid or rather abstracted by theft, if found by
anyone let them be restored to God's church, this (charter) however remaining
in force for a memorial of us for ever. Let the foresaid domain with its
defined and known limits be free from every burden of land service; three only
excepted, namely, any warlike undertaking duly sanctioned, and the repair of
bridges or fortresses. If, therefore, any one shall wish to transfer this
gift to any other purpose than which we have appointed, let him and his
accomplices, deprived of membership ((Page 9)) of the holy church of God, be
punished by the fires of doleful hell, together with Judas the betrayer of
Christ, if he shall not have made due satisfaction for his offence against our
decree. This charter was written in the year from the Incarnation of our Lord
979, these witnesses consenting whose names are affixed.
These are the five hides' land boundaries at Suthtune:- First to Wifele's
mere, then down to the slade; along the slades six acres broad, then up by the
half furlong upon the straight landmark to the broken hill; from that hill out
on the road, along the road to the boundary-slade, from that slade in at
Witmunde's lea, then by the tree-stubs along the wood to the white dike; from
the white dike to Effingham, then to Trundlesham at its lower end, from
Trundlesham to Oak's dean gate, from the gate to Gistrelde's-well; from the
well to Hemstede's gate, from Hemstede's gate forth by the road, back to
Wifele's mere.
I, Ethelred the King, grant the aforesaid donation +. I, Dunstan,
Archbishop of the church of Canterbury, have signed it +. I, Oswald,
Archbishop ((of the church of York)) have confirmed it +. I, Ethelwold, the
Bishop have corroborated it +. I, Elfthritha + the Queen. I, Oscar, + Abbat.
I, Godwine, + Abbat.

Winton). It is of later date and very debased.

Translation:-
13th April, 979. It is here recorded how Elnoth came to Winchester on
Palm Sunday in the second year after Ethelred began his reign, and placed on
the altar of the Blessed Peter at the Old Monastery, the charter which his
brother Ulric had granted of the manor of Crundel. And he protested in the
name of the Holy Trinity, the one God who created all things, that that gift
or restitution should remain, without suit or contention, unto the same holy
place where his lord King Edred lies buried, who had raised him to his high
rank. And that if any one attempted to divert this (benefaction) to other
uses, whether he were one of his own kin or not, he should be accounted an
enemy to God and to all his saints, and be condemned to the eternal pains of
hell with Judas the betrayer of his Master, unless he should make restitution
before his death. This was done with the assent of King Ethelred, in the year
of our Lord 979. Bishop Ethelwold and others were witnesses of this act.

A.D. 1086. Lands of the Bishop of Winchester, for the support of the Monks of
Winchester.
CORONDEL HUNDRED.
The Bishop himself holds Crundele. It always belonged to the church.
There were fifty hides. In the time of King Edward ((the Confessor)), as well
as now,{1. King Ethelred's Charter, written about the year 984, giving the
extent of the various Manors belonging to the Bishoprick, gives the extent of
Crondal as 50 hides- 'To Crundelan 1 hida.'} they were assessed at forty
hides. The land is twenty nine carucates. There are four carucates in
demesne and forty-five villeins and eleven borderers with twenty five
carucates. There is a church there worth twenty shillings; and twelve serfs.
Woods for the pannage of four-score hogs. In the time of King Edward it was
worth #15. 10s., and afterwards #6, and now #24.
Of the land of this manor German holds of the Bishop eight hides in
Ticelle ((Itchil)) and in Cove. Lewin and Ulward held them in parcenary of the
Bishop, and were not able to remove. Each of them had a hall; but when German
received it there was only one hall. He has three carucates in demesne, and
twenty villeins and ten borderers with six carucates; also six serfs and a
mill worth 3s., and two acres of meadow. There are woods for the pannage of
fifteen hogs. It was #6, and afterwards 40s., and now #8.
Of the same manor William holds three virgates of the Bishop in
Beddeleie. Aluric as a villein held (the same) of the Bishop. There is one
carucate there, with one borderer and four serfs.
Of the same manor Turstin holds seven hides in Sudtune ((Sutton)). Justan
and Lefsi held of the Bishop in parcenary, but were not able to ((Page 12))
remove, and they had two halls. There are three carucates in demesne there,
and three villeins and four borderers with half a carucate. In the time of
King Edward it was worth #7, and is now worth the same. When received it was
worth #4.
Odin de Windesores holds of the same manor three hides in Ferneberga
((Farnborough)) of the Bishop. Alwin held it of the Bishop in parcenary, and
was not able to remove. There is now one carucate there in demesne, and seven
villeins and four borderers with three carucates. There are five serfs there
and a mill worth 10d., and three acres of meadow. There are woods for six
hogs. In the time of King Edward and now it was worth 60s. When received it
was worth 40s.

Circa A.D. 1163. Charter of Sutton in the hundred of Crundel.
Henry, King of the English and Duke of the Normans and Aquitanians{1.
Henry II. became Duke of Aquitaine in 1152. and Richard Toclive Archdeacon of
Poitiers about 1562. In March, 1163. he was with the King at Windsor. Bishop
Henry de Blois died on 9th August, 1171.} and Earl of the Angevians, to Henry

the two hides of land which they claim, which - Richer the Archdeacon{2.
Richer occurs as Archdeacon of Winchester in 1124 and in 1128; and Josceline
de Bohun, Archdeacon of Winchester was elected Bishop of Salisbury in 1142.
Archdeacon Richer's name is entered in the ancient Register, or Liber Vitae,
of Hyde Abbey, Folio 29, under the heading Isti quoque specialiter se
devoverent. - Richerius, Archidiaconus; frater noster, monachus et sacerdos.}

therefrom yearly, which the monks of Waverley have unjustly seized, against
them. And unless you do this, my Sheriff of Hampshire shall cause it to be
done, that I may hear no complaint for the lack of justice therein. Witnessed
by Richard, Archdeacon of Poitiers, at Windsor.

The following particulars relating to Crondal were set forth preparatory
to the pleadings, held before King Edward I. and his council, at Aberconway,
in July, 1284, when the long continued disputes between the Bishops of
Winchester and the monks, which originated from Bishop Walkelin's arbitrary
appropriation and division of the Cathedral estates, were amicably settled.{1.
The negotiations for the settlement of these disputes were commenced in June,
1278, during the episcopate of Bishop Nicholas de Ely; and among other
requests the Convent asked that the churches of Droxford, Havant, and Crondal
with the adjacent chapels, assigned for the maintenance of the lights in the
Cathedral Church, should be restored to them.}

These are the services which the Prior of Saint Swithun's, Winchester,
and his tenants of Crondale, as well the freemen as the bondmen, owe to the
Lord Bishop of Winchester.
In the first place, that all the tenants, the freemen as well as the
bondmen, owe two suits a year before the steward of the Lord Bishop at the
Blackheathfield, which is in the manor of Farnham, which two suits are called
Wue de Francplegge.
Also, the said Prior and his men of Crondale, are bound to enclose the
Bishop's Park at Farnham, the freemen as well as the bondmen; each one
according to his own share ought to enclose the park, which enclosure
comprises two and a half leagues of land.
And it shall be lawful for the Lord Bishop, if any default is found in
the enclosure of the aforesaid park, that the said men, the free as well as
the bond, should be distrained by his bailiff of Farnham and amends made.
Also, the said Prior shall give to the Lord Bishop's park keeper at
Farnham a quarter of wheat yearly.
Also, the said park-keeper shall have in the manor of Crondale, from each
virgate of land, a bushel of oats, heaped measure, and ten eggs.
Also, when the Prior, his steward, and his other ministers shall for a
bribe, or through partiality, refuse to do justice to any plaintiff of the
hundred of Crondale, the Lord Bishop of Winchester and his steward have power
at the first lawday at Blackheathfield, where the two hundreds assemble, to
make inquisition as to and terminate this wrong and to exact amends therein.
Articles agreed upon with the assent of the Lord Bishop, John de
Pontissara, and Brother William Basynges the Prior and the entire Chapter of
Winchester, so that perpetual peace should be established between them.
((5TH JUNE, 1284.)) Haec sunt servicia quae tenentes prioris de Crundalle

Articulus Episcopi. In primis, Prior et omnes tenentes sui de Crundalle,

Prior dicit quod nullam debet ibi sectam, set sui servi homines debent bis per
annum apparere apud la Blakehethfelde, sed nichil respondere ibidem.
((Page 15))
Articulus Episcopi. Item, Prior debet sequi curiam de Farnham de tribus

Articulus Episcopi. Item, dictus parcarius habebit in manerio Prioris de

ipsam injuriam inquirere, terminare, et emendam inde recipere.
Responsio Conventus. Ad hoc respondent hoc negando omnino, quia non
habet jus se intromittere de curiis Prioris, quia, si homines servi - non
habent refugium nisi ad dominum suum, si vero liberi - solus Rex et
justiciarii sui debent audire et terminare querelas de falso judicio.
Translation:-
5TH JUNE, 1284. These are the services which the tenants of the Prior
(of Saint Swithun's, Winchester) at Crundale, freemen as well as bondmen, owe
to the manor of Farnham.
The Bishop's article. In the first place, the Prior and all his tenants
of Crundale, free as well as bond, owe two suits of court yearly, before ((Page
16)) the Lord Bishop's steward at Blackheathfield, which is in the manor of
Farnham.
The Convent's answer. They say to this that the freemen can answer for
themselves. And the Prior says that he owes no suit there, but that his bond
men ought to appear twice a year at the Blackheath field, but not to answer
anything there.
The Bishop's article. Also, the Prior ought to attend the court held
every third week at Farnham. And this he did in the time of Adomar the
(Bishop) elect. ((A.D. 1251-1260.))
The Convent's answer. They answer to this, simply denying suit.
The Bishop's article. Also, the said Prior and the men of the manor of
Crundale, free as well as bond, each one for his share, as often as it shall
be necessary, ought to fence round the Park of Farnham to the extent of two
leagues and a half. And it shall be lawful for the Lord Bishop if any defect
be found in the aforesaid enclosing, that the said men, free as well as bond,
be distrained upon by the bailiff of Farnham and make amends.
The Convent's answer. They say to this that the bondmen of Crundale
shall enclose round the aforesaid park for each virgate of land, one perch and
not more. And the men of Sutton shall enclose in common four perches round
the same park. And let the freemen answer for themselves.
The Bishop's article. Also, the said Prior shall give to the Bishop's
park-keeper of Farnham a quarter of wheat a year.
The Convent's answer. They say to this that their bailiffs did it
without the assent of the Prior, and after it was demanded as a due, it was
altogether withdrawn, and the Prior who now is never paid it, nor his
predecessor either.{1. Adam de Farnham, who was was appointed Prior in
February or March, 1278-9.}
The Bishop's article. Also, the said park-keeper shall have in the
Prior's manor of Crundale, from every virgate of land, a bushel of oats heaped
measure, and ten eggs.
The Convent's answer. They say to this that their men did this
sometimes, without the assent of the Prior, at their own free will, and
sometimes they withdrew it at their own free will; so that he (the parkkeeper)
can demand nothing as his due.
The Bishop's article. Also, where the Prior and his steward and his
other ministers for a bribe, or through partiality, or in any other manner,
refuse to do justice to any plaintiff of the hundred of Crundale, the Lord
Bishop of Winchester and his steward have power at the first hundred (court)
at Blackheathfield to enquire, terminate, and amend this wrong.
((Page 17))
The Convent's answer. They answer to this that it is altogether to be
denied, because he has no right to intrude himself in the Prior's courts;
because, if bondmen, they have no refuge except to their lord, and if freemen,
the King alone and his justices ought to hear and terminate complaints of a
false judgment.

MAY, 1286. A Royal Writ to the Sheriff of the County of Southampton,
that he should summon before the King's Justices at Farnham so many loyal men.
EDWARD, by the grace of God King of England, Lord of Ireland, and Duke of
Aquitaine, to the Sheriff of Southampton, greeting. We ((Page 19)) direct that
you shall have in attendance, before our beloved and faithful John de Kirkeby,
Thomas de Weylaunde, and Ralph de Hengham, at Farnham, on Thursday in
Pentecost week ((6 June)), thirty-six knights and others, free and loyal men of
the neighbourhood of the chaces and warrens of the venerable Father, John,
Bishop of Winchester, and of the lord Prior of Saint Swithun's, Winchester,
and who are not by any affinity connected with the aforesaid Bishop or Prior;
- to certify upon their oath in what manner and where the aforesaid Bishop is
entitled to chase and his predecessors were accustomed to chase, in the woods
and lands of the aforesaid Prior and of his men; and in what manner and where
the aforesaid Prior is entitled to chase and his predecessors were accustomed
to chase, in the lands and woods of the aforesaid Prior and of his men, and in
the lands and woods of the aforesaid Bishop and of his men, in the time of
Adelmar, John, and Nicholas, Bishops of Winchester, the predecessors of the
aforesaid Bishop. Witness, Ralph de Hengham.
An Inquisition taken upon the chaces of the Lord John ((de Pontissara)),
by the grace of God Bishop of Winchester, at Farnham, and the other chaces.
6 JUNE, 1286. Inquisition taken before John de Kirkeby, Ralph de
Hengham, Nicholas de Stapeltone, and Nicholas le Gras, at Farnham, on Thursday
in Pentecost week, in the 14th year of King Edward, by the under-written
jurors; namely, Walter de Everesley, Thomas Peverel of Mainsbridge, Thomas
Peverel of Blachington in Sussex, and Richard de Burhunte, knights; Adam de
Rippelinge, Geoffrey Hamelin, Robert Helion, Nicholas de Itchen, Thomas
Spirkot, Henry de Fraxino, Augustine de Berkham, John de Colemere, and Thomas
de Lemintone. Who say upon their oath, that the aforesaid Bishop is entitled
to chase and all his predecessors were accustomed to chase, in all the lands
and woods of the Bishop and of his men, and in all the lands and woods of the
Prior of Winchester and of his men, throughout the County of Southampton.
They say also, that the aforesaid Prior is entitled to chase and all his
predecessors wore accustomed to chase, in all the lands and woods of the Prior
and of his men throughout the County of Southampton, excepting the lands and
woods which are in the Chace of Crundale and the appurtenant parts of the same
Chace, where the aforesaid Prior is not entitled to chase, nor wore his
predecessors accustomed to chase. They say also, that the aforesaid Chace of
Crundale was at one time King's Forest, and until the time of Peter de Roches,
formerly Bishop of Winchester, who purchased that Chace from the Lord King.
And after that purchase the aforesaid Peter and all his successors have been
accustomed to chase therein, but apart from this fact the Prior or his ((Page
20)) predecessors have been accustomed to chase in it. And excepting, too, a
certain ancient warren which the Bishop has to the east of Winchester in which
the aforesaid Prior ought not to chase, neither in his own lands nor in lands
belonging to other persons. And the aforesaid warren is bounded thus, namely,
from the east gate of Winchester it goes down by the water of the Itchen as
far as Bitterne towards the south, and towards the east ascending by the said
water by the white highway which leads towards Teusgate, and so right across
the country outside by the head of the Longwood as far as Blackhedge, and
thence as far as Melleberewe, and so down to the white highway of Warneford,
and so along by the water (the Tichfield River) as far as Astlingford, and so
to Colier's ford, and from Colier's ford to Kernebridge (Curbridge) and so
along the arm of the sea (the Hamble River).{1. The eastward route on leaving
the east gate was along the highway or Alresford Road to Tuesgate, a distance
about two and a half miles. A gate was placed there to intercept those who
came to the Great Fair on St. Giles' Hill, and was in fact the gate where the
dues or tolls were paid. It is singularly explained in the duplicate copy,
where the word is given as Tuewelgate (toll gate). Here the old road or
trackway on the right hand passed by the head of the Long wood to Blackhedge,
apparently the spot where the road turns off near the Warren Farmhouse, thence
to Melleberewe (Millbarrow Down), and then along the chalk road or trackway to
Warneford, where the Tichfield river commences. The boundary now follows the
course of the river to Astlingford (Mastlingford), now called Missling Ford.
Collier's Ford may have been the ford at Northfield Farm, thence the route
goes westward to Curbridge, where we reach the Hamble River, which leads us
into the Southampton Water, or arm of the sea.} And being asked if the
aforesaid Prior ought to chase anywhere in the lands of the aforesaid Bishop,
they say he should be limited to three places, namely, the grove of Sidelee,
and the groves and woods of Craule (Crawley), except the inner wood, and the
lands of the Bishop's tenants in Pette (Pit).
Among the muniments belonging to the Dean and Chapter of Winchester
Cathedral are a number of early deeds and documents, preserved in four large
folio volumes. Many of these deeds are in a very bad state of preservation,
and consequently difficult to copy. Those relating to Crondal form (with one
exception) the following series:-
Grant and quit-claim in perpetuity from John Curing, with the assent of
his wife, to the Prior and Convent of St. Swithun, of the grove called Titley,
and certain lands in Long Sutton.
((Circa 1220.)) Sciant praesentes et futuri quod ego, Johannes Curing,

Circa 1220. - Know all men, present and to come, that I, John Curing,
with the assent of Felicia my wife, have delivered, demised, sold, and quit-
claimed, for myself and my heirs for ever, reserving no part thereof, the
grove which is called Tittelee, and all the land which I possess in the field
which is called Fiveacre in the tenement of Long Sutton, to the lord Walter,
the Prior,{1. Elected Prior in the early part of the year 1214, as successor
to Prior Stephen, who had been elected and confirmed as Abbat of Burton (on
Trent). He occurs as Prior in 1218, 1224, 1231 and 1234, and he held the
Priorship at his death on the 10th November, 1239.} and the Convent of Saint
Swithun, Winchester, for five silver marks which they gave to me, by which I
have released myself from the debt to Salomon the Jew, son of Salomon the Jew
of Winchester, which I owed him, and for which the aforesaid land was pledged
to him by my charter. And, moreover, they gave to Felicia, my wife, twenty
pence, and to my four daughters, namely, Matilda, Emma, Alice, and Alice, five
pence each. And I and my heirs will warrant this grove, together with the
aforesaid land, to the said Prior and Convent against all men and women. And
that this my sale and quit-claim may remain stable and firm, I have confirmed
it by the present writing and the affixing of my seal. These being

John Hameline, and many others.{2 These witnesses occur as living in the reign
of King John and in the earlier years of Henry III. Peter de Hattingley was
holding the office of Steward in 1219 and in 1224; but after this his name
disappears. In the Pipe Roll for the 21st year of Bishop Peter de Rupibus
(1225-1226) is an entry of a payment to John de Herierd on account of expenses
in some law proceedings against Gilbert de Hattingley. who was probably the
heir or executor of Peter de Hattingley. Roger de Cauz was brother to Galfrid
de Cauz, clerk to Bishop Peter de Rupibus, and Rector of Ringwood from
January, 1213-4, till September, 1219. Nicholas Dismars died during the
episcopate of Peter de Rupibus, and the Bishop granted the marriage of his
widow and the wardship of his heir to John de Clere. of the parish of
Crondal.}

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.

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

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.
And do not neglect this, upon the peril which will ensue. Given under our
Privy Seal at Westminster, the 20th day of November.
To our beloved in God, the Prior of Wynchester.

A writ of the lord King directed to the Prior ((of St. Swithun's,
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
demesne of the crown of England, have represented to us that you exact from
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:-

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,

---------------------
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.

Customal and Rental Rolls.
From the Custumal and Rental of St. Swithun's Priory, Winchester
THE following Record of the Customs, etc., of the Manor of Crondal comes from
a MS. in the Cathedral Library of Winchester. It is all in the same hand on
parchment, beautifully written and in excellent condition, in folio, of 185
ff. (but as 42, 43, 44, 45, and 46, have been twice numbered, the true number
of leaves is 190). There has been some misplacement of leaves when the MS.
was bound, for a footnote says:- "The folios after fo. 180 used to precede the
fo. 177, and so stood before the volume was bound. E.S."; i.e., the folios now
numbered 177-180, in the same handwriting, but in a paler ink, including the
last page (177r.) of Hoghton, and all Wolricheston, originally came after ff.
181 - 185, which contain the Customs of Wonsyngton, in the darker ink.
This fine MS. is all in the handwriting of John of Guildford, who was one
of the monks of the Priory of St. Swithun, Winchester. The earlier date in
the Volume is under Wolricheston (177v.), where it is stated that it is a copy
of a Customary of that Manor drawn up there in A.D. 1221. Other dates are:
Whitchurch, A.D. 1251 (fol. 6Or.); the Chamberlain's Estate at Chilbolton,
A.D. 1261 (fol. 56v.); Berthon, A.D. 1287 (fol. 12r., and as this date stands
at the heading of the first Manor described, it has usually, though
incorrectly, been taken as the date of the MS.); then Houghton, A.D. 1304
(fol. 173r.); then on fol. 68v., at the end of Henton, there are inscribed
three deeds, with ((Page 84)) their dates, A.D. 1318, 1323, and 1325. Lastly in
one of the introductory leaves (11r.) is found a list of sheep and lambs to be
sent to Winchester in the year 1343. It is therefore plain (even allowing
that this final entry might have been subsequent to the rest of the MS.,
though it is in the same handwriting) that the MS. belongs to the middle of
the 14th Century, some time after A.D. 1325.
The book contains the feudal customs, services, and payments due from the
holders of lands, etc., in twenty-four Manors belonging to the Prior and
Convent of St. Swithun, and is a treasure-house of curious local information
as to usages, topography, and genealogy. And of these the Customs of Crondal
are as interesting and as full as any, and shew in what way the sustentation
of a great Monastery, with its sixty Monks or more, and its large body of
dependents and servants, was provided for year by year. The Crondal Customary
(occupying ff. 132v. to 150v.) is the largest in the book, with the exception
of that of the huge Manor of Berthon or Barton, which takes 21 folios.
It is divided into (1) Crondale, (2) Swandrop, (3) Yatelegh, (4)
Brambesshate and Hallie, (5) Suthwode, (6) Alresshate, (7) Dupehale, (8)
Crokham; and shews a total return to the Priory, "with Pundpany and Honey," of
#53. 7s. 0d. (or about #585 of the money of our time).
Transcript of ff. 132v.-150v. of the MS. Rental of the Priory of St. Swithun,
written by Brother John of Guldeford. It includes all the Returns, Services,
and Customs of the Manor of Crondal.

Rental of Sutton
THIS is printed here from a parchment roll of the year 1351, because Sutton is
omitted from the great Rental Volume of 1287. Several of the names which
occur in this roll are to be found in other parts of the Crondal Manor: thus,
it has Couryng, which occurs in the Compotus of 1248 as Kuring; William Cawet
or Cawat, Huldemele, Stare or Sturye, Chapelayn, Le Freyn, Andreu, are
surnames in both the rentals. The tenants must have made up their tale of
hens and eggs among them, as some were bound to pay the half or quarter of a
hen, or, still more difficult, the half or quarter of an egg. It will be
noticed that in the last item reference is made to the "Manor of Sutton," as
distinct from that of Crondal: and this document and that in the Compotus of
1248 (see above pp. 75-83), standing, as they do, quite separate from the
Crondal returns, appear to show that originally Crondal and Sutton were two
independent Manors.

Court Roll
THE Prior of St. Swithun's, Winchester, held yearly, by his steward, two Views
of Frank-pledge or Manorial courts, within his several manors and hundreds.
The earliest Roll now extant of the proceedings of these courts consists of a
bundle of fifteen rotulets of parchment sewn together at the top. It gives us
the progress of the courts held for the turn of St. Martin, A.D. 1281, and the
turn of Hock, A.D. 1282. The tenth and eleventh rotulets are occupied with
the proceedings of the courts of the Hundred of Crondal. Damp and decay have
made great havoc with this Roll, and the Crondal portion of it will probably
never be deciphered again.

Translation:-
20 OCTOBER, 1281. CRONDALLE. The Hundred (Court) of the term of Saint
Martin, held by Brother Philip de Avintone and Henry de Dernegate, on the
Monday nearest after the Feast of Saint Luke, in the year of our Lord, 1281.
{* The Steward, and the Clerk of the lands, used to ride the progress of these
Courts, and the Prior occasionally sent his "Curtear" as well, who was one of
the monks and an important official. Thus the Prior and community were always
well informed as to the state of their manors and the welfare of their
tenants. This explains the attendance of Brother Philip de Avintone, at the
holding of this Court. In some of the smaller manors the "Curtear" himself
sometimes held the Manorial Courts.}

The Crondal Customary
OF 1567.
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.

An agreement as to the fees payable to the steward with respect to
surrenders and enrolments :-
((See also a modern transcript by R H Johnston of an apparently different copy
in Hants Record Office))
CRONDAL HUNDRED. - AT A COURT HELD THERE, ON THE NINTH DAY OF SEPTEMBER,
1672.- Whereas, divers variances and disagreements heretofore have been had
and raised between the tenants of this manor and hundred, and the Steward and
((Clerk)) of the lands belonging to the Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral Church
of the Holy Trinity of Winchester, concerning the fees, due and payable unto
the said officers by the tenants aforesaid. And whereas, by reason that the
said differences were not composed, several inconveniences have accrued, as
well to the lord and tenants, as also to the said steward and clerk of the
lands for the time being, by the not entering of surrenders, not craving of
admittances, and making out of copies thereupon and otherwise, whereby the
tenants' estates and interest in their lands have been apparently endangered,
and the lords ((have)) been uncertain of their tenants and services, and many
other disorders and inconveniences have arisen. And whereas, the said tenants
and homage, and Henry Kelsey, Esqr., steward of the said court and clerk of
the lands, did at a court of the said manor and hundred, held on 13th April,
1670, humbly entreat Mr. Dean and Mr. Receiver, that they would take the said
matter into consideration, to the end that the said differences might be
composed, and the inconveniences aforesaid prevented and avoided: whereupon,
the said tenants ((Page 384)) and homage upon conference had, did at the same
court declare themselves satisfied and contented to pay the fees contained in
a schedule of the same, taken out of the muniment house of the Dean and
Chapter of Winchester, as to all other things expressed; except what is
hereafter mentioned (that is to say) the said Henry Kelsey did agree to take
but 20s. for the whole fees due and payable unto the said Henry Kelsey as
steward and clerk of the lands, upon and for a title by surrender within the
said manor and hundred, that is the surrender, grant, admission and copy,
20s., and also 13s. 4d. for the grant and copy and admission upon, and for a
title by descent; and it was agreed that the before mentioned particulars
should be settled by counsel. It is therefore, at this present court in
performance of the said agreement, ordered, agreed, and declared both by the
said Henry Kelsey, on behalf of himself and his successors in the said places
and offices, and by the said tenants and homage now sworn, on behalf of
themselves, and their heirs and assigns; having advised thereupon with counsel
learned in the law; that the said agreement as is before declared to he made,
shall for the future stand ratified, confirmed, and established, and be
observed in every clause and article thereof; only with these alterations
following, viz. That in case, any title shall descend to any tenant, that
shall neglect to perfect and finish the same, within three general courts next
after such title shall descend, then the whole fees of 13s. 4d. for the same
title, presented upon such neglect shall be paid notwithstanding. And if any
person unto whom any surrender shall be made, shall not finish and perfect the
same at the court, when any such surrender shall be made or presented, then
the said 20s. shall be divided and paid to the steward and clerk of the lands
as followeth; viz., 10s. at the entering of the surrender into the court book,
and 10s. at the finishing and perfecting the grant, admission, and copy
thereof; but if a mortgage, or conditional surrender shall be made, and no
wilful default shall be on the tenant's part; whereby the said steward and
clerk of the lands may be hindered from taking of the said 20s. for a title by
surrender, that then the said 20s. shall be divided and the steward and clerk
of the lands shall be ((paid)) forthwith. And for entering every such
surrender, and in case the grant and admission, and copy, be afterwards done
and performed, then 10s. more. And it is further agreed that the fee for
entering such condition, contained in surrenders is, 1s., and for making of
copies of any matter search((ed)) for in the books is, 6s. 8d., and for entering
the acknowledgment of satisfaction on any mortgage surrender is, 3s. 4d., and
no more; and that such other fees, not expressed in the said schedules before
mentioned, shall be paid as the same have been formerly accustomed, And that
the particulars of the aforesaid schedules, taken out of the said muniment
house (except ((Page 385)) such parts thereof as are expressly altered by the
afore mentioned agreement) are as followeth:-
THE STEWARD'S FEES.
For respecting every warrant 6s. 8d.
For every licence to let land 3s. 4d.
Item every licence to exchange land 2s. 6d.
Item every examination 6s. 8d.
Item the commitment of every orphan 2s. 6d.
Item for forfeiture of every widow or tenant 2s. 6d.

It is further established, ordered, and agreed, in pursuance of the last
clause, mentioned in the order of ((the court)) held as aforesaid, on April
13th, 1670; that the fees due aforesaid to the steward and clerk of the lands,
shall be allotted and divided to each of the said officers and their
successors, as to the Dean and Chapter of Winchester shall seem meet.
MEMORANDUM, it is ordered and agreed, that if any tenant upon request
made, shall refuse to subscribe or set his hand to the order and agreement
before written; such tenant so refusing, his heirs and assigns, shall have no
benefit of or by the said order or agreement, or composition as aforesaid, as
if it had not been made, anything before written to the contrary
notwithstanding.
In witness whereof, the said Henry Kelsey, and the customary tenants of
the said manor and hundred, have mutually set their hands to the order of the
court, and agreement above written :-

THE YATELEY TITHE CASE
In the year 1604, Richard Heath, the lessee of the tithes of the Parish
of Yateley, instituted proceedings in the Consistory Court, against Martin
Shonk, one of the tenants, with respect to certain disputes between them, as
to what tithes were payable, and the customary mode and usage in collecting
them. The defendant thereupon obtained a writ of prohibition from the King's
Court, and commenced an action against the lessee. A copy of the proceedings
of the suit, translated from the original record in the time of Charles II,
was found among the papers of the late Capt. Mason, of Hall Place, Yateley.
It contains many interesting particulars - particulars which are now a matter
of history as the Tithe Commutation Act swept away these old customs, as well
as the uncertainties and troubles attendant upon the collection of tithes in
kind. The document is given in its entirety, with all its repetitions,
ambiguities, and defects.

Nevertheless, the said Richard Heath, farmer, hirer, occupier, and
possessor of the Rectory impropriate, of the Parish Church of Yeatly, in the
Diocese of Winton; not ignorant of the premises, contriving him, the said
Martin against the form of the law of this Kingdom of England, and against the
form and effect of the said customs; unduly to trouble, vex, and weary, hath
drawn into suite him the said Martin Shonke, into the Court Christian, before
the worshipful Master, Thomas Ridley, Doctor of Laws, Official Principal of
the Consistory Court of the Bishoprick of Winton, lawfully constituted, or his
surrogate; on this occasion, of and for the withdrawing, and not paying of the
tithes of hay out of the herb and grass mowed in and upon the lands of the
said Martin, within the said parish before used to be ploughed; and also of
and for the withdrawing of the tithes of fleeces of wool of the sheep of the
said Martin, within the said parish; and also of and for the withdrawing and
not paying, the calves from his cows within the said parish falling, in the
year of our Lord, 1604 (although the said Martin had in the same year nine
calves, and one of the said nine calves he offered to pay the said Richard
according to the form of the said prescriptions); and ((cited)) him the said
Martin in the court Christian before the said spiritual Judge upon that
occasion to appear, and the said ((Page 396)) Richard to answer, of and upon the
premises hath unjustly compelled. And although he, the said Martin, was
always ready and offered to pay and deliver the said Richard the sums of
money, and to observe, perform, and keep the said customs on his part, and the
said manner of tithing; according to the form and effect of the said custom,
in full and entire payment, and satisfaction of the said tithes, for the said
hay, wool, and calves. And although the said Martin, the customs and due
manner of tithing aforesaid, in the said Court Christian, before the said
spiritual Judge, hath pleaded and alleged, and with inevitable truth offered
to prove the same; yet the said spiritual Judge, that plea and allegation to
admit, hath altogether refused; and the said Richard Heath, him the said
Martin, of and upon the premises, in the same Court Christian to be condemned,
and the said tithes of hay, wool, and calves, against the form of the customs
and prescriptions aforesaid, to compel to pay, by a definite sentence of the
said Court Christian, with all his power doth endeavour and every day design.
And the said Richard, the said suit of and for the withdrawing of the tithes
of hay, wool, and calves, in the aforesaid Court Christian against the said
prescription, before the said spiritual Judge after the King's prohibition to
him directed and delivered to the contrary, to wit; - the first day of April
in the year of the said Lord James, now King of England, the third (AD 1605),
at Yeatley aforesaid, in the said County of Southampton; against him the said
Martin Shonk hath prosecuted, in contempt of the same our now Lord the King,
and to the damage of the said Martin £20; and therefore, as well for the Lord
the King, as for himself, he brings his suit, etc.
((23 January 1605/6)) THE PLEA
And now at this day, to wit; - the Thursday next after the octaves of St
Hilary, in that same term (till which day the said Richard Heath hath license
to imparle, and then to answer the said bill before the lord the King, at
Westminster), came as well, the said Martin Shonke, by his said attorney, as
the said Richard Heath, by Robert Heath, his attorney, and the same Richard
Heath defendeth the force and injury, when, etc. And all the contempt and
whatsoever, etc., and saith that he hath not prosecuted in the Court
Christian, after the King's prohibition to the contrary, to him before
directed and delivered, in manner and form as the aforesaid Martin, who, as
well, etc., above against him complaineth, and of this he puts himself upon
the country, and the said Martin likewise, etc. But for a writ of the Lord
the King, of Consultation, in this part to be had, the said Richard (by
protestation that there are not, nor ever were within the Parish of Yeately
aforesaid, the ends, limits, or tithable ((Page 397)) places of the same parish,
any such customs or manner of tithing, for lambs, young pigs, geese, honey,
wax, and bees, or for sheep, hens, gardens, milk, and cheese, or for colts,
offerings, marriages, or for wheat, rye or mestlin, or for barley, oats, peas,
or vetches; within the said parish, growing, renewing, or anyways happening.
As the said Martin, by his said bill aforesaid supposeth, by protestation
also, that no person within the said parish, having or possessing any bull,
oxen, horses, mares, geldings, colts, calves, or heifers, for the use of
husbandry, and uses in the said bill above specified, exercised, applied, and
brought up), of the payment of all and all manner of tithes of such barren
cattle, and of the herbage and pasture of such bulls, oxen, horses, geldings,
and other cattle, was at any time discharged and acquitted by reason and
pretext of the premises, as the said Martin, by his said bill, thereof further
supposeth.
For plea, the said Richard, as to the tithes of hay by him in the said
Court Christian, for the tithes in the said bill above specified and demanded;
saith, that he is, and at the said time in which the same Richard drew into
suit, the said Martin in the said Court Christian; and long before, was farmer
of the said Rectory with the appurtenances, for the term of divers years, then
and yet to come; of the demise of one Arthur Lake, Professor of Divinity, and
Master of the House or Hospital of St. Cross, near Winton {1. Dr Lake was
presented to the Mastership of St Cross Hospital by King James I, and was
admitted and inducted on 3rd May 1603, by Thomas Ridley, LL.D., the Bishop's
Vicar-General - Register of Bishop Bilson, fol. 14b-15.}. And that the said
Martin, and all and every other person or persons, having, possessing, or
occupying any meadow or meadows, or any other lands called upland grounds,
otherwise hard lands, which heretofore were lands arable, or occupied and used
for pasture, and the same meadow land and pastures have mowed, and the grass
thereof so mowed have been made into hay, time out of mind, and from time to
time have paid and delivered, and have used to pay and deliver, to the Rector
of the Parish Church of Yeately aforesaid, or his farmer or deputy, of that
Rectory or of the tithes thereof; the tithe of all the mowed grass, as soon as
that grass was put into grass cocks, in and upon all the pasture or meadows
wherein that grass grew (in his kind). And the same Richard further saith,
that the hay of the said herb and grass in and upon the lands of the said
Martin, within the said parish, called upland grounds, otherwise hardlands,
which were heretofore arable lands, in the said bill above specified, of late
growing and coming; was there mowed and put into cocks, before that the said
Richard for the tithes thereof drew into suit the aforesaid Martin; and
because the said Martin did not separate ((Page 398)) the said tithes of hay,
while it was in grass cocks, from the other nine parts; but those tithes from
the nine parts not severed in the mows, and in the said bill likewise above
specified, did carry away to his barn, and the same tithes in the said times
did withdraw. The said Richard then, and long before, being the farmer of the
said Rectory and of those tithes and of all other tithes belonging and
appertaining to that Rectory, and within the said Parish of Yeately, from time
to time growing and renewing; drew into suit the said Martin in the Court
Christian aforesaid, before that the King's prohibition in form aforesaid to
the contrary thereof to him directed, for the withdrawing of the said tithes
of hay, was to him delivered; as it was lawful for him to do without. That
all and every person or persons having, possessing or occupying any meadow or
meadows or any other lands, called upland grounds, otherwise hard lands, which
heretofore were lands arable, or occupied and used for pasture and meadow
lands, have mowed, and the grass thereof so mowed have made into hay, have

REPLICATION
And the said Martin Shonke saith that, for anything by the said Richard
Heath above by pleading alleged, the said Richard a writ of the said Lord the
King, of consultation, ought not to have; because, as to the said tithes of
hay in form aforesaid demanded, the said Martin, as before, saith that all and
every person or persons having, possessing, and occupying any meadow or
meadows, or any other lands called upland grounds, otherwise called hard
lands, which heretofore were arable, or occupied and used for pasture, and
have mowed the same meadows, lands, and pastures, and the grass thereof so
mowed have made into hay, have paid and by the whole time aforesaid, and used
to pay to the Rector of the Parish Church, or his farmer of that Rectory for

satisfaction, and discharge, and in the name and place, of all and singular
the tithes of hay in and from the land, pasture and meadow within the said
parish, ends, limits, and tithable places of the same parish, coming,
renewing, or anyways happening except only in the declaration above excepted,
in manner and form as the said Martin by his said bill above against thereof
hath declared; and this he desireth may be enquired of by the country; and the
said Richard Heath likewise, etc. And as to the said tithes of wool in form
aforesaid in the said declaration above specified demanded, the same Martin
Shonke likewise, as before, saith that every person having and keeping any
sheep within the said parish shorn by him, by the whole time aforesaid, time
out of mind, at the time of their shearing, hath used to deliver to the Rector
of that Parish Church, or his farmer or deputy of that Rectory or of the
tithes thereof for the time being, the tenth fleece called fleece wool from
off his sheep within the said parish, coming and happening, if he hath in the
same year ten fleeces of wool; and if he hath not in the same year ten fleeces
of wool, then the tenth part of the wool as it shall fall out in weight off
his sheep within the ((Page 402)) said parish kept, coming, and happening; in
full and entire payment, satisfaction, and content of the tithes of all the
wool from off such sheep shorn within the said parish, coming, renewing, and
happening in manner, as the said Martin by his said bill and against him hath
declared.
And this he likewise desireth may be enquired of by the country; and the
said Richard Heath, likewise, etc. And as to the said tithes of calves in
form aforesaid above demanded, the same Richard Shonke likewise, as before,
saith that every person having any calf or calves out of his cows within the
said parish kept, falling under the number of seven calves, by the whole time
aforesaid, hath paid and used to pay to the Rector of that parish, or his
farmer, or the deputy of that Rectory or of the tithes thereof, for the time
being, yearly, a the Feast of Easter next following after the fall of those

Rectory or of the tithes thereof, for the time being, one halfpenny for every
one of his calves under the number of seven calves within the said parish,
falling and brought up by him within the said parish. And if he hath within
any one year seven calves, that, then, he hath paid, and for the whole time
aforesaid hath used to pay, to the Rector of that Parish Church, or his farmer
or deputy of that Rectory or of the tithes thereof, for the time being, one
calf, at the end of five weeks next after the fall of the same calf; and then
the Rector of that Parish Church, or his farmer of that Rectory, for the time
being, hath paid and used to pay to such persons so having seven calves three
halfpence, at the Feast of Easter then next following, or afterwards, at the
request of such person. And if he hath in the same year eight calves, he hath
paid and used to pay, to the Rector of that Parish Church, or his farmer or
deputy of that Rectory, one calf; and then the Rector, farmer, or deputy of
that Rectory, have used to pay to such person so having eight calves, one
penny yearly, at the said feast of Easter, or after, at the request of such
person. And if such person hath in any one year within the said parish nine
calves, then for the said whole time he hath paid and used to pay, to the
Rector of that Parish Church, or his farmer or deputy of that Rectory or of
the tithes thereof, for the time being, one calf; and then the said Rector,
farmer, or deputy hath used to pay to such person having nine calves, one
halfpenny, at the feast of Easter aforesaid, or after, at the request of such
person. And if he hath in any one year ten calves, then by the said whole
time he hath paid and used to pay to the Rector of that Parish Church, or his
farmer of that Rectory or of the tithes thereof, for the time being, the tenth
calf. And if such person and persons have so had within the said parish,
ends, limits, and tithable places of ((Page 403)) the said parish, any calf or
calves under the number of seven calves, and shall not bring up such calves,
but shall sell those calves or any of them; then he hath paid and used to pay
to the Rector or farmer of that Parish Church thereof, or of the tithes
thereof, for the time being, the tenth penny of the price of every calf as
sold, yearly, at the Feast of Easter, after the sale of the calves or any of
them; or after, at the request of the same Rector, farmer, or deputy of that
Rectory or of the tithes thereof, for the time being. And if such person so
having any calf of calves within the said parish, under the number of seven
calves, and he shall not bring them up, but shall kill or slay such calves or
any of them, then, by the whole time aforesaid, he hath paid and used to pay
to the Rector of that Parish Church, his farmer or deputy of that Rectory or
of the tithes thereof, for the time being, the right shoulder of every calf so
killed, at the time of the killing of the same calf; in full and entire
payment, satisfaction, content, and discharge of all and singular the tithes
of calves within the said parish, falling, coming, and happening; as the said
Martin, by his said bill thereof, him hath declared; and this he likewise
desireth may be enquired of by the country; and the said Richard Heath,
likewise, etc.

A few words with respect to the proceedings of the above suit, in the
"Court of Christianity," will not inappropriately fill up the page. The first
notice of the suit occurs in the proceedings of the Consistory Court on the
7th July, 1604 :- Richardus Heath, firmarius rectoriare impropriatae de
Yatelie, contra Martinum Shonck, in causa subtractionis decimarum. It states
that the apparitor had personally cited the said Shonck on the 6th July. Mr.
Phillips appeared as proctor for the complainant, and Mr. John Bond for the
defendant. Similar proceedings were also taken at the ensuing Court (14th
July) against Richard Stevens, Lionel Morris, and Robert Puttock, of Yateley.
The articles were delivered into court on the 21st July, and on the 28th the
case was postponed by Dr. Ridley till Michaelmas Term. On the 6th October the
several defendants appeared, and the suit against Shonck was made a test case.
The cause was again before the court on the 13th, 20th, and 27th October, when
the proceedings appear to have been staid by the writ of prohibition from the
King's Court. The suits are noticed, as outstanding cases, on the 1st and 8th
Dec., 1604, but not afterwards.
((Page 407))
The Manor of Itchel and Cove
IN the time of King Edward the Confessor, Itchel and Cove were held as
separate estates, and each had its own hall or mansion house; but soon after
the Conquest, Bishop Walkelin granted the eight hides of land in Itchel and
Cove to an individual named Germanus, who was probably one of his retainers;
to be held by military service, in accordance with the feudal system
introduced by the Normans. The next holder of the property, whose name has
come down to us, is Walkelin de Ichelle, who had evidently established his
Hall at Itchel, and in all probability was the son of the above mentioned
Germanus, as his Christian name seems to suggest that he may have been one of
the Bishop's godsons, or that it was given to him by his father from feelings
of gratitude and regard for his benefactor. This Walkelin de Ichelle held
Itchel and Cove in the reign of Henry I, and in the year 1165, his son, Robert
de Ichelle, is returned as holding the two knight's fees, being the extent of
the military service due to the Bishops of Winchester for Itchel and Cove.
From the last-named date we have to come down to the year 1236. In this year
the estate became vacant by the death of William de Coleville, its owner;{1.
He is mentioned on the 23rd April 1200, on the Curia Regis Roll, I John,
membr. 12 d. in two entries appertaining to the County of Southampton. In the
first entry as one of the bail for the appearance of John de Kethe before the
Justices; and in the second as being appointed attorney for John de Recham, to
win or lose, in an action of a plea of assize against Robert Fitz Brien. On
the 6th April, 1230, the King sent a mandate to the Sheriff of the County,
that he was to cause the assize between Reginald de Cunde and William de
Coleville, concerning a tenement in Ichehulle, to come before the Justices at
Winchester. - Rot. Claus., 14 Hen III, m. 11} and his son and heir, William de
Coleville, paid to Achard, the Bishop's Marshal, #10 for his relief, so as to
be able to take possession of the inherited lands. This transaction is
recorded on the Pipe Roll of the 31st year of the Episcopate of Bishop Peter
do Rupibus, among the scutage accounts rendered by the Marshal, whose
discharge for it is given in this form:- "Delivered by a tally to Sir R((obert))
de Chinham (the Bishop's Treasurer), #10 for the relief of William de
Coleville." In 1237, he acquired by purchase some additional lands in Itchel
and Eweshot. He is also named in 1243 as holding the two knight's fees in
Itchel and Cove.'{2 Page 35. Other particulars with respect to these fees
occur in pages 36-39.}
((Page 408))
Not many years after this, the property passed, probably by purchase,
into the hands of Walter Giffard, who was elected Bishop of Bath and Wells on
22nd May, 1264. He was consecrated on 1st February, 1264-5, and at the close
of 1266 he was translated to the Metropolitan See of York.{1. His father, Sir
Hugh Giffard, married, in 1216, Sibilla, one of the four daughters and co-
heirs of Baron Walter de Cormailles. He was appointed Constable of the Tower
of London in 1234, and in 1238 he was entrusted with the guardianship of
Prince Edward (afterwards Edward I), and continued in this important office
till his death in 1248. His widow was governess to the children of Henry III.
On 15th June, 1251, the King gave an order for three bucks from Brehull
Forest, for the use of her two sons who were students at Oxford. These were
the future Bishops. ((Mandatum est Custodi forestae de Brehulle quod, in eadem
foresta faciat habere latori praesencium, ad opus duorum filiorum Sibillae
Giffard, inceptorum de artibus dialecticae apud Oxoniam, tres damos de dono
Regis. Teste Rege, apud Clarendon, XV die Junii. - Rot. Claus. 35 Hen. III,
m. 10.)) Their elder brother, Sir Alexander Giffard. was one of the two hundred
knights who, in 1249, accompanied the Earl of Salisbury to the Holy Land, and
was present at the disastrous battle of Mansowra, in which his chief was
killed. Matthew Paris states that he was closely pursued and severely wounded
in making his escape after the battle; and that he was an Englishman by birth,
of noble blood, and the son of a noble lady who resided with the Queen. It is
a noteworthy circumstance that his armorial coat is to this day the arms of
the See of Worcester, and has been so used ever since the Episcopate of his
brother, Godfrey Giffard.} On the 26th March, 1267, he obtained from King
Henry III a grant of free warren for all his demesne lands at Itchel. On his
death in 1279 the estate passed to his brother, Godfrey Giffard, Bishop of
Worcester, who in his brother's lifetime had obtained from the King a grant of
a number of deer from the forest of Aliceholt, to stock therewith the park at
Itchel. These prelates appear to have made Itchel a place of residence, as
several transactions recorded in their Registers are dated at Itchel.
Archbishop John de Peckham stayed several days at Itchel in 1281, and among
other transactions during his stay, he gave a receipt, on the 16th December,
1281, for a "Biblia Glosata," in two volumes, lent to him by the executors of
Nicholas de Ely, Bishop of Winchester.{2. This copy of the Bible seems to have
been much valued on account of its annotations, and was bequeathed by the
Bishop to the Prior and Convent of Winchester Cathedral. It was borrowed by
Bishop John do Pontissara, on 26th April, 1299, who gave a formal bond for its
safe return. "Noveritis nos ex commodato recepisse a dilectis filiis

John de Pontissara, Bishop of Winchester. Fol. 193.}
With this short introduction, the following documents will best speak for
themselves; and it seems only necessary to add, that Itchel continued to be
the occasional (if not the principal) residence of the Giffard family, until
after the accession of Queen Elizabeth. And, as was unfortunately the case
with ((Page 409)) many old families, the religious changes of that period led to
the breaking up of old ties and the severance of estates, in consequence of
the ever-increasing difficulties and restrictions; and this much may be
judged, by the circumstance of the son and heir of the last of the family
resident at Itchel finding himself a prisoner in the Tower of London, from
religious troubles, and that his younger brother took refuge on the continent
and ultimately became Archbishop of Rheims.
Lands, etc., in Itchel and Eweshot, granted to William de Coleville.

-- MAY, 1279. This inquisition was made on the oath of Nicholas de
Cheyne, Henry de Borwe, Gilbert le Parker, Robert de Clere, Nicholas de
Depehale, William att Hetrue, Roger le Parker, Galfrid Serle, William Serle,
William de Bromhulle, Walter Dymars, and William de Ruede. The quantity of
land Walter Gyffard, late Archbishop of York, held of the lord King in chief,
in the county of Southampton, on the day of his death {1. According to Le
Neve's Fasti Ecclesiae Anglicanae, vol. iii, p. 103, the time of the
Archbishop's death is uncertain; but the following passage in the Oseney
Annals, and Wyke's Chronicle (edit. Luard), seems conclusive :- "Anno, quo
summi Patris Unigenitus inclinavit caelos et descendit in uterum Virginis, MCC
LXXIX, obiit dominus Walterus Giffard, Eboracensis Archiepiscopus, cito post
Pascha, videlicet in vigilia Sanct Georgii" ((Saturday, 22 April)). La Neve
(edit. Hardy) gives wrongly the 11th March, 1179, as Wyke's date, and refers
to Inq. p. m. 6. Edw. I, No. 103, as giving the 27th April, 1278, as the date
of the Archbishop's death; whereas it is simply an Inquisition ad quod
dampnum, taken on 16th January, 1278-9, and distinctly mentions the Archbishop
as living,- "Walteras Gyffard, nunc Archiepiscopus Eboracensis."}; and how
much he held of others and by what service; and how much those lands are worth
by the year in all their issues. And who is his nearest heir, and of what
age. Who say upon their oath, that he held nothing of the lord King, in chief,
in the aforesaid county. They say also, that he held the manor of Ichulle and
Cove with appurtenances, of Nicholas ((de Ely)), Bishop of Winchester, by the
service of one knight's fee and a half. And that it is worth #40 a year in
all its issues. And that Godfrey Gyffard, brother of the same Walter, is his
nearest heir, and of full age. In testimony whereof the aforesaid jurors have
placed their seals to this inquisition.{2. As the Hampshire Inquisition is
dateless, we append the Inquisitions taken in the counties of Wilts and
Gloucester, as giving some additional particulars, as well as showing that the
manors of Weston and Norton, in Gloucestershire, formed a part of the
Archbishop's property - ((10 MAII, 1279.)) Extenta facta coram domino

There was also an Inquisition taken in the county of Oxford, but it has
neither the date nor the place where it was held. It states that he held the
manor of Alerinton, with appurtenances, in chief of John de Lodbroke, knight.
All the other Inquisitions simply state that his brother and heir, Bishop
Godfrey Giffard, was of full age, but in this instance it states that he was
forty four years of age:- Dicunt, eciam, quod Godefridus Giffard, Episcopus

The jurors appear to have been misinformed as to the extent of the
military service, as from the particulars given in pages 35 to 39 it will be
seen that the property is invariably returned as two knight's fees, and this
is confirmed by the entry of the account rendered by the Bishop of
Winchester's Marshal, recorded on the Pipe Roll of the 21st year of Bishop
John de Pontissara, being the accounts for the year ending on the 29th
September, 1302.

issued, by reason of the death of Alianora, widow of John Giffard of Weston
Underegge. There were two Inquisitions taken on this occasion.
1. At Malmesbury, Co. Wilts, on 21st December. It states that she held
jointly with John Giffard, her late husband, the manor of Shereston, in that
county, of John Tybetoft, knight, by the service of a knight's fee and suit of
court at his manor of Castelcombe. This document is written in a pale ink,
and ends:- "Et dicunt quod praedicta Alianora obiit die Martis, in vigilia
Sanctae Katerinae ultimo praeterita. Et quod Elizabetha, filia praedictorum
Johannis Giffard et Alianorae defunctae, aetatis novem annorum et amplius, est
eorum haeres propinquior."
((Page 437))
2. Inquisicio facta apud Ichulle, in comitatu Suthamptoniae, xj die
Decembris, anno regni Regis Edwardi tercii post conquestum Angliae tricesimo
quarto (1360), coram Johanne de Estbury, escaetore domini Regis. The rest is
almost totally obliterated by gall stains, smeared across nearly half of the
entire document; and what is left untouched is in a very pale ink, much rubbed
and soiled, so that no satisfactory copy can be made, and it would take a
great amount of time even to attempt to make a copy of what is readable of the
disconnected portions. It contained the usual particulars as to the manor of
Ichulle with its extent, and entries relating to Eweshot and Cove. Among the
portions that can be deciphered:- Item sunt....... in villata de Iweshete vij
virgatarii nativi, quorum redditus et servicia valent per annum....... Item
sunt in villata de Cove ij virgatarii, quorum redditus et servicia........ It
ends with the same words as the Wiltshire inquisition:- And they say, that the
aforesaid Alianora died on Tuesday, the vigil of St. Katherine, last past
(24th November, 1360). And that Elizabeth, daughter of the said John Giffard
and Alianora, deceased, of the age of nine years and more, is their nearest
heir. At the foot of the skin is written:- Summa xxxijli. vs. ob. qua.{1. In
1352. the escheator of the county of Berks was ordered to take into the King's
hands the lands and tenements belonging to the manor of Buckland, - "eo quod
Johannes atte Putte de Bereham adquisivit dicta terras et tenementa de
Alianora, quae fuit uxor Johannis Giffard, chivaler, parcellam manerii de
Bokeland," without the King's licence. He afterwards paid a fine of 6s. 8d.
to the crown for the royal pardon, and reseisin of these lands, viz., four
messuages and four virgates of land. worth 20s. yearly. - Inq. p. m. 26, Edw.

Grant by King Edward III to William de Edyndon, Bishop of Winchester, of
the lands and tenements belonging to Elizabeth Giffard, during her minority.

10 DECEMBER, 1360. The King to all to whom these presents shall come
sends greeting. Know ye that we have granted, for ourselves and our heirs, to
the venerable father, William de Edyndon, Bishop of Winchester, the custody of
all the lands and tenements, with their appurtenances, which Alianora, late
the wife of John Giffard, of Weston Underegge, deceased, held in dower or
otherwise, for the term of her life, in Ichulle, in the county of Southampton,
and at Sherston, in the county of Wilts, and elsewhere within our realm, of
the inheritance of Elizabeth, daughter and heir of the aforesaid John,
deceased, who held of us in chief; and which, by the death of the said
Alianora, and by reason of the minority of the aforesaid heir, are in our
hands. To hold to the said Bishop and his assigns, with all things to the
said wardship belonging, until the lawful age of the aforesaid heir, together
with all issues received therefrom from the time of the death of the aforesaid
Alianora. Paying therefor, by the year, the extent thereof made, or to be
made; to wit - one moiety at the Feast of St. Michael, and the other moiety at
the Feast of Easter; the first term beginning at the Feast of St. Michael next
ensuing. In testimony whereof, etc. Tested by the King, at Westminster, on
the 10th day of December.
On the 3rd of November, 1361, Elizabeth Giffard, daughter and heir of
John Giffard, deceased, died under age and in wardship. The Inquisitions taken
shortly afterwards show that she inherited the manors of Weston and Norton, in
Gloucestershire, the manor of Sherston, in Wiltshire, and the manor of
Ichulle, in Hampshire. The Hampshire Inquisition, taken at Ichulle, is not
only written in ink which has become very pale, but the parchment itself is so
rubbed and injured that no copy can be made of it, nor can the date on which
it was held be deciphered. The extent of the manor of Ichulle was set out at
length; also, the particulars as to certain lands and tenements in Eweshot and
Cove. It ends:-
Et dicunt quod praedicta Elizabetha obiit tercio die Novembris ultimo
preterito. Et quod Johannes Giffard, filius Willelmi Giffard, fratris
Johannis Giffard, avi praedictae Elizabethae, aetatis xxx annorum et amplius,
est haeres ejus propinquior.

November, last past.{1. The Writs are dated at Westminster the 8th of
November, 35 Edw. III (1361).} And that John Giffard, son of William Giffard,
brother of John Giffard, who was grandfather of the aforesaid Elizabeth, of
the age of 30 years and more, is her nearest heir.

8 NOVEMBER, 1379. Confirmation of the licence granted to Sir John
Gyffard by the Bishop of Winchester, to extend the park at Ichulle. To ALL the
faithful of Christ to whom the present writing shall come Hugh ((Page 441)) ((de
Basynge)), prior of the Church of St. Swithun's, Winchester, and the convent of
tile same place, send greeting in our Lord. Know ye, that I have inspected an
indented charter, made between the Reverend Father and lord, the lord William
de Wykeham, Bishop of Winchester, of the one part, and John Gyffard, knight,
lord of the manor of Ichulle, in the county of Southampton, of the other part,
concerning the enclosing of a certain wood on the aforesaid manor of Ichulle,
and certain lands and pastures contiguous to the said wood, with a ditch,
hedge, or paling, and for making a park therein, as follows, - THIS Indenture,
made at Highclere, on the Thursday nearest after the feast of Easter ((17th
April)), in the fiftieth year of the reign of King Edward the Third after the
Conquest ((A.D. 1376)), between the Venerable Father William Wykeham, Bishop of
Winchester, of the one part, and John Gyffard, knight, lord of the manor of
Ichulle, in the county of Southampton, which the said John holds of the
aforesaid Bishop as of the right of his bishopric, by certain services, within
the metes and bounds of the said Bishop's chase of Croundale, of the other
part, testifies that the aforesaid Bishop has granted and given a special
licence, for himself and his successors, to the said John, to enclose a
certain wood on his aforesaid manor and certain lands and pastures contiguous
to the said wood, with a ditch, hedge, or paling, and to make a park thereof,
to have and to hold, for himself and his heirs; and to procure and place wild
animals in the said park, within the Bishop's aforesaid chase. To obtain which
grant and licence in the aforesaid form, the aforesaid John undertook for
himself, his heirs or assigns, to pay and render to the said Bishop, and to
his successors, the Bishops of Winchester, at their Castle of Farnham, yearly,
on the feast of St. Peter called Ad Vincula ((1st August)), a good bow, new,
competent, comely, and sufficient, with a suitable string, and six barbed
arrows, new, competent, and sufficient, well winged with peacock feathers :
and in like manner, between the first day of December and the first day of
February in each year, a competent fallow deer from the aforesaid park, when
the same John, his heirs or assigns, shall be reasonably called upon to do so,
by the servants of the Bishop or his successors; so that the said John, his
heirs or assigns, shall capture at their own cost the aforesaid fallow deer
and send it to the Castle of Farnham, there to be delivered to the Bishop's
servants. And, if it happen that the aforesaid bow, with its string, the
arrows, and the fallow deer shall be in arrear, in part or entirely, at the
day or time aforesaid, or any default, hindrance, or gainsaying shall be
found, hereafter, in the aforesaid John, his heirs or assigns, contrary to the
form of the present indenture, the aforesaid John wills and grants by these
presents, for himself and his heirs or assigns, ((Page 442)) that then, it shall
be fully lawful for the said Bishop and his successors, by their servants and
deputies, to distrain upon his manor of Ichulle, and the distraints, so taken,
to drive, take away, and retain until satisfaction shall have been fully made
therein to the said Bishop or his successors, according to the form of the
present indenture, into whosesoever hands the said manor of Ichulle may happen
hereafter to come. In testimony whereof to one part of this indenture,
remaining in the hands of the aforesaid John, the aforesaid Bishop has set his
seal, and to the other part of this indenture, remaining in the hands of the
aforesaid Bishop, the aforesaid John has set his seal. These being witnesses,
- Sir John Foxle, Sir Bernard Brocas, and Sir Ralph Norton, knights; Henry
Sturmy, Thomas Byflete, John Bremsshete, Thomas le Warenner, John atte Berghe,
and others. Dated the day, year, and place aforesaid. And this charter, grant,
and licence of the said Bishop, made on that behalf, and all the other things
in the said charter contained, we approve, ratify, and confirm. Saving always
to ourselves and our successors, the Priors of the Church of Winchester, our
right of chase in our manor of Crundale, as our predecessors, from ancient
time and of right, have been wont to enjoy them. In testimony of all these
things, We, the aforesaid Prior and convent, have set our Common Seal to these
presents. Given in our Chapter House, at Winchester, on the eighth day of the
month of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand three hundred and
seventy-nine, and in the third year of the reign of King Richard, the second
after the Conquest.
In the following year the Bishop brought an action for trespass against
Sir John Giffard, in the King's Court, on account of his having entered the
chase and warren, belonging to the Bishop, at Crundale, and, without his
licence and will, had chased, captured, and carried away divers hares, conies,
pheasants, and partridges from the aforesaid warren; to the damage and injury
of the said Bishop to the extent of #500. Sir John Giffard's attorney
thereupon pleaded that the said village of Crundale, and the several other
villages and hamlets, were situated within the hundred of Crundale, and that
the said hundred contained in length about eight miles, and in breadth about
five miles, and that it adjoined the King's forest of Windsor, being in
Hampshire. Also, that the said hundred of Crundale, together with many other
lands around it, after the coronation of King Henry II, were afforested and
annexed to the forest aforesaid, and called the Bailiwick of Baggeshot; and
((Page 443)) afterwards King Henry III, in the ninth year of his reign (A.D.
1225), by the advice of the common council of his realm, granted, and by his
charter confirmed, that all woods and lands which were afforested after the
coronation of the said King Henry, his grandfather, should be disafforested,
unless it should be a demesne wood belonging to the King: and that the said
lands were disafforested, and that the defendant and his ancestors had always
been accustomed to hunt there, without let or hindrance from the Bishop or his
predecessors. Judgment, however, was given in favour of the Bishop, with
damages assessed at #20.
Extracts from an Inquisition, taken at Odiham, on 9th February, 1418-9,
on the death of John Berewe, of Stapeley, in the parish of Odiham.

Also, the jurors say that the aforesaid John ((Berewe)) was seized in his
demesne, as of the fee, on the day he died, of a messuage and one carucate of
land, with appurtenances, in Iweschot (Eweshot), which are worth by the year,
in all issues, according to their true value, 18s., besides reprises. And
that the aforesaid messuage and land are held ((Page 444)) of John Southworthe
and Mary his wife, as of the right of the said Mary,{1. This lady appears to
have held the manor in dowry, as the widow of one of the Giffards, and
afterwards married to John Southworthe. In a list of landowners. drawn up in
1412, he is called Edward Southworthe:- "Edwardus Southworthe habet maneriunm
de Ichulle, quod valet per annum, ultra reprisas, xxli."} of her manor of
Ichelle, in socage, by the service of paying every year to the said John and
Mary, at the feast of Saint Michael, 4s. Also they say that the aforesaid
John was seized in his demesne, as of the fee, on the day he died, of six
pence of yearly rent arising from a parcel of enclosed land, with
appurtenances; and that the said enclosed land is held of the Prior of
Winchester, but by what service the said jurors know not. Also, they say that
the aforesaid John died on the Thursday nearest before feast of the Epiphany
of our Lord, last past (5th January, 1418-9). And that John, the son of John,
the son the aforesaid John Berewe named in the said writ, is the kinsman and
nearest heir to the John Berwe named in the said writ, and was the age of
twenty years and more, on the feast of Saint Margaret, the Virgin, last past
(20th July, 1418).{2. There is also extant an Inquisition, taken at
Stapeleghe, on the 24th July, 1351, on the death of his ancestor, John atte
Berwe; which states that he held at Iweshute, of the manor of Ichulle, 30
acres of land, which were worth nothing yearly, beyond reprises, because it
lies barren and unploughed; by the service of 3s., payable yearly to John
Giffard, lord of the aforesaid manor of Ichulle. The said John atte Berwe
died on the 18th July, 1351 and John, the son of Robert atte Berwe, was his
nearest heir, and of the age of eleven years and four months. The heir thus
named is, no doubt, the John Berewe of the later Inquisition. Inq. p.m., 25
Edw, III, 1st Nos. 49.}
John Giffard, who is mentioned as holding the manor of Itchel and Cove in
1428 and 1431,{3. See pages 38 and 39.} died on the 10th June, 1444. The
Inquisition taken upon his death with respect to his Hampshire property has
disappeared; but the one relating to his Gloucestershire estates is still
extant. It was taken at Gloucester on 24th July, 1444, and records that he
held the manor of Norton Underegge by grant of John Throckmorton and John
Rous, as appeared by a fine levied at Westminster in Trinity Term, in the 19th
year of Henry VI,{4. A.D. 1441. In this year Trinity Term commenced on 21st
June and ended on 12th July.} whereby the said manor was settled upon him for
life, and after his death it was to remain to Robert Gyffard and Johanna his
wife, for their respective lives, and then to the heirs of their bodies, and,
in default of such heirs, to the right heirs of the said John Gyffard. The
Inquisition also certifies that he died on 10th June, 1444, and that Robert
Gyffard was the son and nearest heir of the said John Gyffard, and of the age
of twenty-six years and more.{5. Inquiscio post mortem, 22 Hen. VI, No. 37.}
((Page 445))
His son, Robert Gyffard, Esquire, died on the 3rd August, 1446. The
Gloucestershire Inquisition, held upon his death, is the only one extant, It
records that the manor and advowson of the church of Weston-under-Egge, and
the manor of Norton-under-Egge, were held by the said Robert Gyffard and
Johanna his wife, jointly, by virtue of a grant made by John Throckmorton and
John Rous, and a fine thereupon levied at Westminster on 26th May. 1441. It
also states that the said Johanna survived her husband, who had died without
issue, and that John Gyffard, his brother, was his nearest heir, and of the
age of seventeen years.{1. Inquisicio post mortem, 25 Hen. VI, No. 12. The
Inquisition was taken at Gloucester on 2nd November, 1446. He, also, held a
messuage and a carucate of land at Stonehouse, of William, Earl of Arundel.}
An Inquisition, taken in obedience to a writ- "ad diem suum clausit

of Johanna, who was the wife of Sir John Marney, knight, and previously
married to Robert Giffard, and also to ------ Barantyne.

Inquisition post mortem, 5 Eliz., Part I, No. 26.
Sir William Giffard, knight, died on the 17th of June, 1549. The
Inquisition taken, after his death, with respect to his Hampshire property,
has disappeared; but the one relating to the Gloucestershire estates, taken at
Tutbury, Gloucestershire, on the 5th of May (1552), 6 Edward VI, gives the
following particulars:-
That he held the manor of Weston under Egge and the advowson of ((Page
460)) the church; also, the manor of Norton under Egge. That, in consideration
of the marriage solemnized between John Gyfford, kinsman and heir apparent of
the said William Gyfford, and Elizabeth, one of the daughters of Sir George
Throkmerton, knight; and in consideration of #200, paid to the aforesaid
William Gyfford, knight, by the said Sir George Throckmerton; Robert
Throckmerton, Esquire, and Richard Foster, in Easter term, A.D. 1537,
recovered the aforesaid manors by a royal writ of entry of superdisseizin. -
Recorded in Easter Term, 28-29 Hen. VIII, Roll. cccxliiij. The manors were,
by this arrangement, settled on the said Sir William Gyfford for life; and
after his death they were to remain to the aforesaid John and Elizabeth and to
the heirs of their bodies, and, in default of issue, to the right heirs of the
said John Gyfford, for ever.
The aforesaid William Gyfford, knight, died on the 17th day of June, 1549
(3 Edward VI); and the aforesaid John Gyfford is kinsman and nearest heir to
the said William Gyfford, knight, deceased, namely, son and heir of John
Gyfford, son of the said William Gyfford; and the said John Gyfford was, at
the time of the death of the aforesaid William Gyfford, his grandfather,
twenty-six years of age and more.{1. Inquisition post mortem, Exchequer
Series, Co. Gloucester, 5-6 Edw. VI. No. 4.}
On the death of his son, John Giffard, Esquire, an Inquisition was taken
at Gloucester Castle, on the 8th of July, 1563, (5 Elizabeth). It is very
closely written on a full size skin of parchment; but the writing is greatly
faded and rubbed.
It records that his will, dated the 27th of December, 1 Elizabeth (1558),
designates him as John Gifford, of Ichill, in the County of Southampton,
Esquire, sick in body, etc. It mentions Elizabeth, his wife; and says -
"Further I gyve, will, and bequeth unto my said Executors two parts of my
manors of Ichill, Cove, and Ushott, with their appurtenances, in the County of
Southampton," with the intent that they should receive the profits arising
therefrom, for the purpose of carrying out the purposes of his will.....
"Elizabeth, my wife, Sir Robert Throckmorton, knight, John Throckmorton, and
Kenelm Throckmorton, Esquires, my brothers-in-law, to be my executors."
The said John Gifford died on the 1st of May, last past (1563); and
George Gifford is his son and nearest heir, and was ten years and six weeks of
age on the day of his father's death.
The will is set out, but it is only readable in parts. It mentions "sons
and daughters" but not their Christian names; and the Inquisition records that
on the 7th of December, 5 Elizabeth (1562), he had ((Page 461)) granted to his
son, Richard Giffard, an annuity of twenty marks, payable out of the Manor of
Norton under Edge.{1. Inquis. post mortem, Exchequer Series, Co. Glouc., 5-6,
Elizabeth, No. 4. The duplicate copy of this Inquisition, returned to the
Court of Chancery, is still extant (5 Eliz., part 2, No. 20). but it is in a
worse condition than the Exchequer copy. The Hampshire Inquisition is not
extant.}
By the death of John Giffard, at Itchel, on the 1st of May, 1563, the
management of the family estates came into the hands of his executors, during
the minority of his son and heir, under the clause of his will which gave them
the control of two parts of the manor of Itchel, Cove and Eweshot; while the
third part passed to his widow for life, as a portion of her dowry. The widow
found it more convenient to reside with her children in Gloucester, near her
own relatives and co-executors; and not long afterwards she was married to
William Hodges, gentleman, who lived and died at Weston-under-Edge. In 1573,
George Giffard, her eldest son, came of age, and obtained possession of the
manors of Weston-under-Edge and Norton-under-Edge, and of the Hampshire
property, with the exception of the third part, held by his mother in right of
dowry.
We now reach the period when Itchel and Cove became separate manors, and
passed out of the hands of the Giffard family. At this time, the neighbouring
manor of Dogmersfield, which had been alienated from the See of Bath and
Wells, was in the possession of Henry Wriothesley, second Earl of Southampton;
who, being desirous of adding to it the manor of Itchel, arrangements were
made for its purchase, and due precautions were taken to ensure a perfect
title, as will be seen by the following documents. The first relates to a
conveyance by George Giffard, Esquire, to Thomas Vaughan and his heirs, The
second relates to the conveyance by the aforesaid George Giffard, Esquire, and
William Hodges, gentleman (his stepfather), to Thomas Dymmock, gentleman; and
the third, by William Hodges, gentleman, and Elizabeth his wife (mother of the
above-named George Giffard), to Henry Wriothesley, Earl of Southampton. These
documents refer to the estate as containing 4100 acres of land, besides a
number of messuages, tofts, gardens, orchards, two watermills, three pigeon
houses, a free warren, and 100s. of rent.
It appears that the tithing of Cove had been separated from Itchel, and
was at this time considered, or reputed, to be a ((Page 462)) manor of itself.
We annex a fine relating to the conveyance of it, by Thomas Brabon and Ann,
his wife, to Robert White, Esquire, of Aldershot, and Mary his wife, as a
separate manor, containing 2040 acres of land, three messuages, three tofts,
four gardens, three orchards, and a 100s. of rent,

4 MAY, 1580. This is the final agreement, made in the court of our lady
the Queen, at Westminster, in the quinzaine of Easter, in the twenty-second

gardens, three orchards, twenty acres of land, ten acres of meadow, ten acres

have of the gift of the aforesaid Thomas and Ann. And they have remised and

themselves and the heirs of the said Thomas, to warrant to the aforesaid
Robert and Ann, and to the heirs of the said Robert, the aforesaid manor,
tenements, and rent, with appurtenances, against the aforesaid Thomas and Ann,
and the heirs of the said Thomas, for ever. And for this acknowledgment,
remise, quit-claim, warranty, fine, and agreement, the said Robert and Mary

The Earl of Southampton died at Itchel on the 4th of October, 1581,{1.
The Inquisition taken after his death was held at Alton on the 13th of June,
1582. It was written on three large skins of parchment, but, unfortunately,
the second skin, which contained the particulars relating to Itchel, is lost.
The Inquisition states that his father, Thomas, Earl of Southampton, died on
the 30th of July, 1550. By an indenture, dated 10th May. 1569, being a
settlement made on his marriage, his estates were entailed upon his heirs
male; and the Viscount Montague, Ralphe Scroope, of Crondal, in the county of
Southampton. Esq. (who had married the widow of Sir George Paulet, of Crondal,
knight). and John Hippesley, their heirs and executors, were appointed
trustees. Inquis. p.m., 24 Elizabeth, part I, No. 46.} and Henry Wriothesley,
his son and heir, attained the age of eight years two days after his father's
death. He ((Page 468)) inherited the Itchel estate and died in 1624. Soon
after the commencement of the 17th century, the property came into the hands
of Dr. Robert Mason{1. Robert Mason, of Lincoln's Inn, Esquire, LL. D.,
Steward of the Borough of Basingstoke 1624 to 1628. He was elected M. P. for
the Borough of Christchurch on 20 January, 1625, and for the City of
Winchester on 27 February, 1627-8. On the 18 January, 1626-7. the Dean and
Chapter appointed him Steward of all their lands, etc.; and on the 13 April,
1625, he had a patent for life as Vicar-General of the Bishoprick and
Chancellor of the diocese, also as official of the Archdeaconry of Surrey on 1
June, 1630, and of the Archdeaconry of Winchester on 5 March, 1631. He was
afterwards appointed Recorder of the City of London, where he died on 20
December, 1635, and his remains were brought to Winchester and interred in the
north aisle of the Cathedral.} who died in 1635, and it was held by his family
till about the year 1670. It was then purchased by John Bathurst, Esq., and
continued in possession of his descendants till about the middle of the 18th
century, when it came into the hands of Martha Dearing of Odiham, widow. The
next owner of Itchel appears to have been Nicholas Linwood, Esq., of Spring
Gardens, Charing Cross, who was one of the Directors of the East India Company
from 1749 to 1751. He was elected M.P. for the Borough of Aldborough, Suffolk,
on 22nd of March, 1768, and died on 7th of May, 1773. His widow sold the
estate in the same year, to Henry Maxwell, Esq., of Ramsbury, Wilts, who died
in 1818, and bequeathed it to his wife's nephew, the Rev. John Henry George
Lefroy, from whom it has descended to his grandson, Charles James Maxwell-
Lefroy, the present owner.
-------------------
In the time of the Commonwealth, the manor of Crondal was sold to
Nicholas Love, Esquire, one of the Regicides. At the Restoration of the
monarchy, the Dean and Chapter recovered possession of it, and the following
petition, which appears to have been presented in the month of October, 1660,
met with a favourable response.
To the King's most Excellent Majestie. The humble Peticion of the Deane
and Chapter of the Cathedrall Church of the Holy Trinitie in Winchester.
Most humbly sheweth, That the Cathedral Church of Winchester is much

THE FLEET PONDS.
The foot-note on page 453 mentions that the Prior and Convent of
Winchester Cathedral had granted another lease of the two ponds called Flete
Pondes, together with the fishery of the same, and also a certain pasture
called le Flete, within the tithing of Hawley, to Richard Gyfford, for a term
of thirty years, from the 29th of September, 1528. On the 4th of February,
1536-7, Prior William Basynge, and the Convent, granted a similar lease to
George Poulet, Esquire, and his assigns, for the term of sixty years, to
commence from the 29th of September, 1558, being the date of the expiration of
the above-mentioned lease. For the pasture called Le Flete the yearly rent of
23s. 4d. was to be paid as before; but in lieu of the obligation of sending
((Page 475)) fish to the Priory, he was to pay for the two ponds and the fishery
a yearly rent of 20s., making the entire rent 43s. 4d. {1. Ibid. Tom. III,
fol. 68b.}
In the year 1567, a heavy storm and the great increase of water appears
to have carried away the head of one of the ponds. This was apparently the
lower pond, extending southwards as far as Pondtail Bridge. In order to avoid
the great expense of replacing and repairing the broken pond-head, the Dean
and Chapter gave the lessees permission to convert the site of the pond into
meadow or pasture land. Notwithstanding this alteration, the older form of
lease was still adhered to, which described them as two ponds, as well as the
other particulars.
((25 JUNE, 1567.)) Licence to enclose le Flete ponds. To ALL MEN to whom
this present writing shall come, Francis Newton, Doctor of Divinity, and Dean
of the Cathedral Church of the Holy Trinity in Winchester, and the Chapter of
the same Church, sendeth greeting in our Lord God everlasting. Whereas the
late Deane and Chapter of the said Cathedral Churche did dymise and let to
farm unto Sir George Powlette, late knight, deceased, for certain years yet
enduring, one ponde called the Fleate Pond, lying and being within the hundred
of Crondall, in the County of Southampton; the head of which said ponde hath
been yearly very chargeable to the said Dean and Chapter to maintain with
timber work, and now is by great rage (i.e., storm) and fall of water utterly
broken and carried away, which would require great expenses of money, waste of
timber, and other charges, if the said Dean and Chapter should make a new head
to maintain the said pond as it hath been heretofore; the estate of which Sir
George Powlette, Rauf Scrope, Esquire, and Dame Elizabeth his wife, in right
of the said Elizabeth, and George Powlette her son, now hath in the same
ponde: KNOWE ye, that the said Dean and Chapter, for the better ease and
disburdening of the said Church of such charges and expenses, as is aforesaid,
have licensed, and authorised, and by these presents, for themselves and their
successors, do license and authorise the said Rauf Scrope, now farmer thereof,
or his assignes, to ditch and fence in, enclose, and convert the said pond
into meadow, pasture, or otherwise, at his, or their will or pleasure,
anything in the said original lease contained to the contrary in anywise
notwithstanding. Provided always that, if it shall seem good to the said Dean
and Chapter, or their successors, at any time hereafter, to converte, alter,
or change the said pond so ditched, fenced, and enclosed, from pasture or
meadow, into a pond again, that then the said Rauf Scrope, ((Page 476)) Dame
Elizabeth his wife, or George Powlette, son of the said Dame Elizabeth, or the
assigne, or assignes, of any and every of them, shall maintain and keep the
head of the same pond at their costs and charges, in such manner and form, as
in the said original Lease and Indenture is expressed and alledged. Witness
whereof the said Dean and Chapter have to these presents put their common
chapter seal. Given in their chapter house, at Winchester, the XXVth day of
June, in the ninth year of the reign of our Sovereign Lady Elizabeth, by the
grace of God Queen of England, France, and Ireland; Defender of the
Faith, etc.

A messuage, and three yard-lands, in Dippenhall.
On the 17th December, 1537, an Indenture was made between William
Basynge, Prior of the Cathedral Church of St. Swithun, Winchester, and the
Convent of the same place, of the one part, and John Fauntleroy, son. of
Tristram Fauntleroy, of Michelmersh, in the County of Southampton, Esquire, of
the other part, which testifies that:-
The Prior and Convent had granted and let to farm, to the aforesaid John
Fauntleroye, in consideration of the good service which the said Tristram had
rendered to them and hereafter to be rendered to them, a messuage and a
virgate of land formerly Henry Eyles', and two half virgates of land formerly
belonging to the aforesaid Henry; also two tofts, and two half virgates of
land, formerly Peter Thorne's and Henry Aparke's, which John Holte, bondman,
held by fine, according to the custom of the manor, of the Prior and Convent,
with all their appurtenances, in Dyppnalle within the parish of Crondalle, in
the County of Southampton. To hold to the said John Fauntleroy, and his
assigns, from the 29th of September, next ensuing, until the end of ninety
years, thereafter next following, and to be fully completed. Rendering to the
Prior and his successors all the rent, suits, and services which the aforesaid
John Holte was accustomed to render, to wit, 23s. 4d. as the assize rent of
the same, and sixpence yearly for talliages, and 8d. a year for Sutton silver,
and for a heriot as often as it falls during the said term, his best animal,
or 20s. in lawful money of England.
His grandson, John Fauntleroy, had a lease of the same property granted
to him on the same terms, for twenty-one years, from the 29th of September,
1621. This lease was afterwards transferred to John Worsley, of Gatcombe, in
the Isle of Wight, Esquire, to whom a renewal was granted for twenty-one
years, from the 29th of September, 1630, upon the ((Page 477)) same terms, with
an entrance fine of 10s. In 1637 Mr. Worsley took out a new lease for twenty-
one years, and the record of this lease has appended to it:-
Memorandum, that (upon a view made of the three yard-lands in Dippenhall,
in and by the last before mentioned lease demised) the same three yard-lands
were said and conceived by the tenants there dwelling in Dippenhall, to be
four several fields or closes, viz. Lane end field lying in the west of the
Lane opposite against the farm house of Mr. John Worsley's in Dippenhall;
Dellfield and Holloway field, lying south-east from Lane-end-field; and
Middlefield lying next them. All which four fields conteyne about ninety
acres by estimation. And for more confirmation hereof, old William Goodyer of
Dippenhall Tithing (aetatis 81) then affirmed, that old Mr. William Fanteleroy
(late owner of the said Dippenhall farm, and holding therewith together by
lease, from the Dean and Chapter of Winton, the said three yard lands) in his
lifetime, caused old John Trigg, old William Vicary, and him, the said William
Goodyer, to view and set out the said lease land, and they (with the consent
and allowance of the said William Fantleroy), set out the said four closes to
be the said lease lands, and they then affirmed that the whole farm of
Dippenhall with the said three yard-lands hereby leased, as seven yard-lands
and a half (though they knew not certainly, then, where the same lay): and he
was then pleased and contented to call these said three tenants of the church
unto him, and to signify unto them that the said four closes should be
acknowledged and reputed to be the same three yard-lands which he so held by

yard lands; the said William Goodyer, Richard Chandler, William Reeves, and
John Vicary, tenants of Dippenhall; John Chase, chapter clerk; Mathew Hancock,

V
COMPOTUS ROLL, AD. 1248 (see pp. 51-61).
THE date of this Compotus Roll of Crondal can only be arrived at by an
interesting combination. The first sheet of the bundle of Rolls, which are
held together by the original thong or fastening, is headed "Compotus de
Mechelmareis anno J. Prioris secundo." Now the Priors whose names began with
I or J were
Ingulfus, 1126-1130.
John I, + 1187.
John II (of Caux), 1247-1249.
John III (of Dureville), 1276-1278.
John IV (of Merlaw), 1349-1361
((Page 506)) The handwriting of the MS. is distinctly of the thirteenth century,
so that we can at once throw out Ingulfus and the first and last of the Johns;
the date, therefore, must be either A.D. 1248 or A.D. 1277. And here internal
evidence from the MS. itself comes to our help. At Hyneton, happily for us,
there was an accurate-minded bailiff, who was not content merely to state that
such and such a man earned so much between one Festival and another, but added
the number of weeks between the two points, when one of the two was a moveable
feast: and so he writes in his Account, "In acquietantia unius hurdek a
Purificatione Sanctae Mariae usque ad dominicam proximam ante Ascensionem per
xvij septimanas, xijd." Now as in 1248 there were seventeen weeks between the
Purification and Ascension Day, while in 1277 it was not so, the date is at
once satisfactorily fixed, and it is proved that the MS. belongs to the year
1248-1249. Prior J. was that John of Caux who at the end of 1249 (or
beginning of 1250) was promoted to be Abbot of Peterborough. It was an
interesting year for Winchester: in it Henry III honoured the city with his
burdensome presence; a new coinage was struck also at the city mint; the
"flabellum" or shutter in the tower of St. Swithun in the Cathedral fell
inwards "as the vesper bell was ringing, and almost crushed J. the monk." And
in this year the Justices Itinerant sat in the Castle and did justice.
It may be noted in passing that the Prior had his kinsfolk around him,
and gave them some sport, even if he did not do more for them. Under the
"Necessary Outgoings" of the Manor (p. 55) we find "In expensis Willelmi et
Henrici de Cauz et unius perhendinantis ad perdrices a festo Sancti Michaelis
usque ad festum Sancti Dunstani, xxiijs. xjd qr.," a very considerable sum for
preserving the birds for the benefit of these two young gentlemen from
Normandy and their gamekeeper. Partridge shooting seems to have had somewhat
wider limits then than now, for though the modern sportsman, finding it
intolerable to wait so long, has advanced the beginning of the season from
Michaelmas Day to the first of September: still, the day of the Deposition of
St. Dunstan is May 19th, whereas now partridges are at rest after the
beginning of February. This entry throws a little side-light on that influx
((Page 507.)) of foreigners which was the most grievous of all the taxes laid by
Henry III on his suffering country throughout his long life.
This Statement of Account, rendered to the Prior and Convent of St.
Swithun's, Winchester, by the two officers William and Henry, and the
"Praepositus" or Reeve Gilbert, who was over them, is a document of high
antiquity, and may be one of the earliest extant specimen of this manner of
keeping accounts. For the use of these parchment-Rolls - technically styled
"Compotus Rolls" - appears to have begun about the middle of the thirteenth
century; the earliest examples at the Record Office in London are of about
that time. The estates given in this bundle are (1) Mechelmareis, (2)
Hochtona, (3) Chilbaltona, (4) Wonsintona, (5) Overtona, (6) Worstona, (7)
Hynetona, (8) Stoktona, (9) Eneforda, (10) Aweltona, (11) Pateneia, (12)

(17) Estona, (18) Wordia, (19) Crundal, (20) Wyk ((this skin has been cut away,
leaving only the heading)), (21) Bertona, (22) Lithletona.{1. (1) Michelmarsh,

VI.
GLOSSARY to the Crondal Compotus, A.D. 1248, pp. 5166; Rental, etc., A.D.
1287, pp. 84-109.
ACRA, - an acre. ((Early Latinised form of Germ. aker)). All early measures
are very indefinite; we find "forest acres" of 180 rods; "statute acres," 160
rods; "short acres" 120, even 100 rods. In our MS. (under Swandrop) we have
the proper definition of an acre "quaelibet acra est ad longitudinem 40
perticarum, et ad latitudinem 4 perticarum"; i.e., 40 x 4 = 160 rods, in a
long narrow strip.
ARURA, - a plough-land ((Gr. aroura)) "ager satus, segetes ipsae," Du Cange.
Suidas puts the aroura at 50 square feet. The Latin word is also used for the
act of ploughing = aratio.
((Page 508))
AUXILIUM, - an aid; a technical term of medieval money-raising or taxation. It
was the grant of a subsidy or sum to the King; also a pecuniary contribution
paid by a tenant or vassal to his lord. In this MS. it appears to have been a
yearly payment by the cultivator to the lord; amount not specified. Aids were
taken by the lord on a great variety of occasions : they wore either
"legitimate," ((i.e., specially (1) on the knighting of the eldest son of the
lord; (2) on the marriage of his eldest daughter; and (3) for the redemption
of the lord from captivity)); or they were "free" and matters of grace, applied
for by the lord, and granted freely by the vassal or tenant, on a dozen
pretexts. It is also used as equivalent to the French corve'e, to which the
use of it in this MS. probably corresponds.
BACINUS or BACINUM, - a basin, dish to hold corn ((from Gael. bac, a hollow)) :
it appears to have been commonly a Church vessel.
BARETTUM, - probably = Warectum. q. v.
BLADUM, - grain, harvested corn ((L. Lat. ablatum, that which is carried away
(from the field), whence Fr. ble'. Our blade, Germ. blatt is a different
word)).
BOVERIA, - "praedium rusticum" Du Cange, a farm; but here, a cowshed.
BRASEUM, - 'brace,' 'grani species ex quo fit cervisia,' a kind of barley; cp.
Fr. brasser.
BUSSELLUS, - a bushel = the Lat. modius ((cp. Fr. boisseau)).
CARECTA, - a two-wheeled cart ((Fr. charrette, - dim. of char, as carecta,
carrecta is of carra; we retain the word in our lordly chariot)).
CARIARE, - to cart or carry ((Fr. charrier.))
CANNIARE OR CAUNIARE, - to heap up straw or reeds ((prob. connected with L.
Lat. cauna = cauma, Fr. chaume, which from the Lat. calamus)).
CHERSETTUM, - Church-scot, a specially English payment of first-fruits of the
earth (frumenti or siliginis) made to a parish-church at Martinmas each year.
The sheaves, etc., at Harvest-festivals may be a dim survival from it ((A. S.
cyric, church and sceat, tax or tribute: I do not find it elsewhere spelt as
here in this MS. Elsewhere it is ciricsettum, circset)).
CLEYA, - a hurdle. Fr. claie, claye.
COMMUNIS CAMPUS, - the ancient common-land of a village community.
COTAGIUM, - a measure of land ((Celt. cwt, a cot)). Properly, the peasant's
dwelling was his cot, and the land that went with it his cottage. ((Page 509))
He has lost his land, and the word is transferred to the place he lives in.
In Domesday a "cottage" does not exceed four acres. It is said that the modern
copyholders are the descendants of these ancient tenants of garths or
enclosures, who were usually styled cotarii, cottars.
CROFTA, - a croft (of land) ((A. S. croft, O. Fr. crou)); "praediolum prope
habitaculum rusticum," says Spelman; "agellus inclusus," Somner. It is clearly
a close of land, near a dwelling.
CUMULUS, - a straw-rick, or a pook of corn.
CURTILLAGIUM, - a "curtilage," or kitchen-garden attached to a farm, in which
potherbs and vegetables were grown.
FORAGIUM, - straw, forage, which was used as litter in the yard, whence it
came to signify manure in our MS. ((L. Lat. foderaticum, from N. German, Icel.
fodr, our fodder)).
GABULUM, - tax, tribute ((A. S. gafol, a gift, a word which survives in the
Kentish gavel-kind; cp. Fr. gabelle, from the L. L. form gabella)).
GARBA, - a sheaf ((of O. H. G. origin; O. H. G. garba, a sheaf, whence the L.
Lat. and Fr. gerbe)).
GRANGIA, - a grange, farm-buildings: "grangiae" - domus seu aedificia, ubi
reponuntur grana. ((Grangea is a later form of L. Lat. granea - granarium.))
HAMELETUM, - a hamlet ((dim. of O. F. hamel, which is from Germanic ham, a
home, dwelling)).
HERCIARE, - to harrow ((verb of Lat. herpicem, Fr. herce, herse)).
HIDA, - a hide (of land), a large, very ill-defined surface. In the Dialogus
de Scaccario it is said to be 100 acres; Spelman quotes a MS. which says a
Hide = 4 Virgates; a Virgate = 24 acres; so that he is only four acres away
from the Dialogus. Rudborne, in the 15th century at Winchester, makes it 64
statute or 96 short acres; so agreeing with Spelman's MS. The nearest
definition lies in the phrase "Hida Anglice vocatur terra unius aratri
culturae sufficiens" (the aratrum being a team of eight oxen). The size of the
Hide varied with the soil; in wooded lands, or where there were marshes or
heaths, it would be much larger, in rich cultivated lands, smaller.
HOCKEDAY, - "The Tuesday se'nnight after Easter week;" a day on which a rude
festival was kept, in which the women played rough tricks on the men. This
festival was said to date from the days of AEthelred the Unready, when the
Danes were massacred on St. Brice's day, 1002. ((Probably from the same origin
with the old Hoch-tide - "High-day." We still speak of "the Heyday of youth."))
HOSTIUM = ostium.
((Page 510))
INFIRMARIUS, - the monk in charge of the Infirmary; one of the chief
Obedientarii of a Monastery.
INSUTE, - If we may venture on a guess from the use of this term in this MS.,
it seems to be the legal French form of the L. Lat. phrase "in secta," meaning
"in suit" or "suite " of a Lord, in which position every tenant might have to
wait on his superior.
MAEREMIUM, - wood suitable for building purposes ((a contr. form of L. Lat.
materiamen: in medieval Lat. materia or materies came to be = trabes, and to
signify only timber fit for building purpose: as in leases to this day, the
lord provides the building materials, and gives the tenant (who provides the
labour) leave to cut what wood he wants from the woods.))
MESSUAGIUM, - a "messuage," still used in English legal documents, "domus
habitationi idonea," says Du Cange. It was a dwelling house with offices,
outbuildings, yards, etc., such as we should expect to find with a country
farm. ((From L. Lat. messuaticum, mansaticum from L. L. masa, massa, mansa,
whence manse and (augmented) mansion.
MORA, - a moor, swampy or peaty place, whore turf can be cut, or fish caught.
((A. S. and Icel. mo'r.))
MULLO, - a heap or mow of hay or straw (we have the barley-mow still). ((A. S.
mu'ga, possibly the double l comes in as a diminutive.))
OPERATIO, - the work done by a vassal or tenant in feudal service for his lord
= the French corve'e.
ORDEUM = hordeum.
ORTUS = hortus.
PANNAGIARE (sc. porcos), - to pasture pigs; thence used of payment for leave
to pasture them in the lord's woodlands. It was sometimes applied to sheep as
well, but not in our MS. ((The word pannagium (of which this is the verb) is a
late corruption of L. Lat. pasnaticum pastinaticum, pasnagium, which again is
from the Lat. pastionem, from pascere, to feed.))
PARTICULA (sc. terrae), - a "parcel" of land, small detached piece.
PERTICA, - a perch or rod; the standard perch or pole was 16 1/2 feet long.
PERTICATA, - a strip of land, Spelman says, "a perch wide and forty perches
long"; and so equals the quarter of an acre.
PLACEA, - a level space or place, (cp. Fr. place); an open space near or
houndouse ((Gr. plateia sc. odos, a broad way)).
PONDPANY, - this word clearly signifies a due or tax of some kind payable to
the lord - in this case to the Prior and Convent of St. Swithun, ((Page 511))
The term occurs in no other place, and must therefore have some specially
local meaning, that of some feudal impost connected with some local
circumstances. Such circumstances are to be found in the great Flete ponds,
which are in the ancient manor of Crondall. And the word apparently is simply
= Pond-penny, the tax levied for the expense of keeping the banks and weirs of
the pond in order. This "pond-penny" was paid only by the customary tenants,
and was assessed on the extent of their holdings. It was at the rate of 3s.
2d. for a hide of land; half-hide, 1s. 7d.; virgate, 9 1/2d.; half-virgate, 4
3/4d. The freeholders, and holders of purprestures, were free from this
payment.
POTTATA, - apparently a "pot" or "pottle," a measure used for dung in this MS.
((pot is a Celtic word, common to all the west, in France as well as in England
and Germany; it has made no lodgment in Italy)).
PRECARIA, - in this MS. a service due from tenants to their lord in harvest
time; reaping, mowing, etc., when requested to do it, "ad preces domini." The
word has in this connexion several diverse and interesting meanings. See Du
Cange s.v. There are two forms of the word in this MS., precaria and
precarium.
PULLENATA, - mare which has had a foal. ((The "pullus equinus," the new-born
foal, has created in Med. Latin many forms, poledrus, pulletrum, pultrinus,
polerius, and others.))
PURPRESTURA, - an encroachment, when anyone took possession of and used or
cultivated a portion of land, without the permission of his lord. In the Law
books three kinds of Purpresture or encroachment are mentioned, (1) against
the king, (2) against one's lord, (3) against one's neighbour; the last being
little less than robbery. In our MS. these encroachments are very numerous,
and point to an open and unoccupied district, such as may still be seen over a
large part of this Crondall country. ((Purprestura is one form among many,
derived from the Med. Latin porprendere = invadere, which is by metathesis for
proprendere.))
RELAXATIO (sc. operis), - a lord's "release" from any kind of duty or service.
SARCLARE, - to weed the land. ((Lat. sarculare, Fr. sarcler.))
SERVICIUM, - a feudal "service" of any kind due from vassal or tenant to his
lord.
STOPPA (se. mellis) (the word may possibly be scoppa). If it is stoppa, then
it is a vessel (still used of a stoup of wine, etc.) which was used to store
honey; it evidently contained a considerable quantity ((Page 512)) as the
"stoppa mellis," which was one portion of the dues payable to the lord, is
valued at two shillings in the MS. This form of rent or due points to
abundance of heather-land such as bees love; and a large part of the Crondall
Manor is of this character.
SUMMONICIO, - a legal summons.
TASSUS, TASSARE, - a heap or cock of hay; to put hay in cock. ((Of Germ.
origin, Neth. tas a heap of corn; cp. Fr. tas, tasser.))
VILLATA, - a village of considerable size; also a village community, as in our
MS. It is enumerated often in English 13th century charters after villa, or
after burgus.
VIRGARIUS, - the holder of a virgate of land (of a yard-land, which lay
between 24 and 30 acres.
VITULATA, - cow which has had a calf (cp. pullenata above).
VOMER, - a ploughshare; apparently sometimes used of a plough land. In this
MS. probably a tax in money to the value of a share (?)
WARECTUM, - fallow-land, which lies fallow alternate years ((of Germanic
origin; O. Fr. gach`ere)).
