O INTRODUCTION. § I. Historical Summary. This Roll is a list of all persons in the County of Worcester who were assessed to a Subsidy in the first year of Edward III., A.D. 1327. The young King was then only in his 15th year, and was completely under the tutelage of his mother, Queen Isabella, and her paramour Mortimer. During the Summer he had been engaged in an unsuccessful campaign against the Scots, and had narrowly escaped being captured by them on Aug. 4. To defray the expenses of this war with the Scots, a Parliament which sat at Lincoln from September 15 to September 23 granted a Subsidy of a Twentieth of all the movable goods of the Laity throughout England. Edward III.’s father, the deposed King Edward IL, was still alive at the meeting of Par¬ liament, and is said to have been murdered in Berkeley Castle on September 21. A Scutage also was levied this year on all those who held Knight’s Fees, though it was not usual to impose a Subsidy and a Scutage both in the same year; and the Clergy by their Convocation which met at Leicester on November 4 taxed themselves to the amount of a Tenth, or twice as much as the Laity. Consequently from the present Roll the names of the Clergy are absent, except in a few cases where their private pro¬ perty may be assessed ; and the names of Lords of Manors, who may have either paid Scutage or served in the campaign them¬ selves, do not appear so frequently or for such large amounts as in the earlier Roll. To levy a Tenth, a Fifteenth, a Twentieth, or any other frac¬ tional amount from a Fourth down to a Thirtieth, was a common form of Taxation in England, dating back to the time of Henry II. This Aid or Tallage, for it was variously called, had been carefully and methodically regulated by Edward 1 . in 1275, with the assistance of a great Italian jurist, Francesco Accursi of Bologna, whom he had brought with him into England on his way back from the b 2 IV INTRODUCTION. Holy Land. The taxation of 1275 was the first to which the title of Subsidy was applied ^; and it was used afterwards as a model for subsequent taxation. Most fortunately the Roll for the County of Worcester for this Subsidy of 1275 has been preserved, and has been published by the Worcestershire Historical Society under the name of the Lechmere Roll. It is believed that no other County has a Subsidy Roll of earlier date than 1327, for which year also the Worcestershire Roll has been preserved, and is now for the first time printed in the following pages. It is most interesting to compare these two Worcestershire Rolls, separated as they are by an interval of 52 years. § 2. Fall in National Income. The first point to notice is the great fall both in the amount raised by the Tax and in the number of persons assessed; from ^$^’1,425 \d. to ;^^357 6 s. od., in the first case, and from 7,373 persons to 4,644 in the other. This great reduction may have been owing to some or all of the following causes. 1. In 1275 the Tax was a Fifteenth, in 1327 a Twentieth; so for purposes of comparison a third of the amount must be deducted. 2. The amount paid by the Clergy must be deducted. In the Lechmere Roll they paid as may be seen by the amounts against their several names. Abbot, Prior, Capellan, Clerk, &c., .£^146 145'. lod. or as nearly as can be a tenth of the whole sum ; though the Prior and Monastery of Worcester seem to have escaped scot-free. The separate taxation of the Clergy was not settled till 1288 or later ; in 1275, the King seems to have given them some sort of a promise that they should be exempt, on the ground that they had sent him a tenth in 1273, and the instalment of another tenth in 1274, whereas the Laity had contributed nothing for several years. This however may apply only to their Spiritualities, and not to their Temporalities, on which they certainly seem to have paid in 1275. 3. Those who had paid Scutage or had served in the War were exempt; a like claim was put forward by all who were in any way engaged in the King’s service, but probably without success. 4. There were many other exemptions. In 1276 the King, pau- peribus parcere volens,” ordered that “ qui ad valenciam xv. solidorum^ ‘ “ Subsidium causa suse novitatis.” Attnales de Wigornia, p. 467. “ Elsewhere the amount is stated at 10 shillings. INTRODUCTION. V non haberent in bonis,” should not be compelled to pay. At a later date it was ordered, “the Tax of the said fifteenth not to comprise poor boraile people nor other that live of their bodily travaile.” Further, the armour, the mounture (i.e. horses used for riding), the jewels and robes of knights and gentlemen and of their wives, and their plate of silver and of pewter, were not to be taxed ; neither were “des viens de mesaux,” by which is probably meant the tools and implements used in agriculture or trade k 5. Constant war had impoverished the country ; Edward I. had been engaged in almost yearly campaigns against the Welsh, Scotch, and French; and under Edward II. these evils had been ag¬ gravated by Civil War and bad government; or rather no govern¬ ment at all. 6. The Jews had been expelled from England in 1290, and so trade had suffered. The Abrahams and Isaacs of the earlier Roll disappear in 1327, whilst the Sampsons and Salamons are not so numerous. 7. But above all England had been visited between 1312 and 1322 by a terrible succession of famines, which were especially severe in the years 1315 to 1317, and to which there has been no parallel before or since k Excessive rain prevented the corn from ripening ; wheat rose, according to York Powell, to ten times, according to Rogers, to five times, its usual price; the cattle were swept away by a plague ; people were driven to live on carrion ; many were starved to death, many were killed by bands of hungry robbers who roamed about seeking food ; mothers hid their children to prevent their being stolen and eaten by thieves ; prisoners in gaols devoured each other k Allowing therefore for the difference between a Fifteenth and a Twentieth and for the withdrawal of the Clergy the ;£'i,425 of the Lechmere Roll, must, for the purposes of comparison, be reduced to £ZJ2 ; there still remains a fall of 59 per cent, from £%y2 to ^^'357. This diminution in the National Income is strikingly cor¬ roborated by a similar decrease in the Income of the Clergy : that income was accurately recorded in the Valor of Pope Nicholas in 1291, and again in the Nonarum Inquisitiones in 1341 : in this period of 50 years the income of the Clergy of Worcestershire fell ' Wrottesley’s Stffaordshire Roll, W. Salt ® Thorold Rogers. Society’s Publications, VII. p. 195. 3 York Powell and Rapin. VI INTRODUCTION. from ;£‘i,425 is. 2 d. to;£'579 i 8 j. iid.; a fall also, singularly enough, of exactly 59 per cent. The Clergy therefore of the present day Avho suffer from the falling off in their incomes do not seem to have so much cause for complaint as their predecessors in 1341. The five Boroughs in the County had all fallen off considerably in income, though two of them had increased slightly in population, as shown by the following table :— Persons. Taxation. 1275 1327 1275 1327 T s. d. £ s. d. Worcester 314 96 88 3 4 10 8 2 Droitwich 87 90 26 13 2 5 0 0 Dudley 41 43 6 7 4 3 16 8 Kidderminster ^ 143 66 26 14 0 5 12 8 Evesham 91 54 45 3 I 3 3 10 That part of the County which suffered least from the bad times was the South and South-East, the latter especially, where 28 out of the 32 vills which show an increase of population are to be found, and all the 3 vills, Newbold, Tatlington, and Wick, whose income is larger than in the former Roll. This may have been owing to the more open nature of the country, which made it suitable for sheep-farming; and possibly from that cause it was the first to receive the rising tide of prosperity brought into England by the wool trade, which set in so strongly during the reign of Edward III. The number of vills in the County diminished from 280 in 1275 to 222 in 1327. Of the vills which in the Lechmere Roll are entered independently, Kempsey had absorbed 11 ; Ripple, 8 ; hlamble, 8 ; Chaddesley, 7 ; and others a less number. The number of the civil parishes in the County is now 226. The reason for the amalgamation of vills seems to have been poverty and the consequent decrease of population. Thus Kempsey, which had swallowed up no less than ii of its neighbours, and Ripple with its 8, had each fallen off considerably in the totals of their population and the value of their taxable goods. But Blockley and its 8 neighbouring vills all remained independent, though naturally they seem well fitted to be joined together, and ’ For the pui-poses of comparison, the minster of the 1327 Roll have been added vills which are included in the Kidder- to the Kidderminster of the 1275 Roll. INTRODUCTION. Vll in later times they have all actually been merged in the mother- parish of Blockley, of which they still form so many hamlets. So too the 14 vills which occupy the rest of the S.E. corner of the County, Daylesford, Shipston, Newbold, &c., had (with one exception to be noted hereafter), all retained their independence. But “ ille terrarum angulus ” had been fortunate above the rest of the County, for it had increased in population and had fallen off but slightly in value. This will be shown by the subjoined table:— Persons. Taxation. 1275. 1327. 1275. 1327. £ s. d. £ s. d. fKempsey, 12 vills 146 86 25 2 4 4 14 0 1 Ripple, 9 vills 153 69 26 17 0 4 6 8 f Blockley, 9 vills 123 131 27 12 : [ I 10 6 9 [shipston, &c., 13 vills 192 246 30 4 2 17 10 0 The first 21 vills 299 155 51 19 4 9 0 8 The last 22 vills 315 377 57 17 I 27 16 9 Later on, however, the fate befell this district which it had escaped now; its prosperity departed, or became comparatively less ; its 14 vills were at one time reduced to 4 ; no less than 7 were merged in Tredington, though not for long. The one exception is Shipston on Stour ; in Domesday and in 1275 it is named separately; in this Roll, in 1327, it is merged in Blackwell ; subsequently Blackwell and Shipston with it were joined on to Tredington ; in 1535 it appeared as a Vicarage by itself, and in 1720 was separated by Act of Parliament; whilst Blackwell, to which it had once been subordinate, still remains an insignificant hamlet of Tredington. § 3. Increasing Prevalence of English. In the interval between the date of the Lechmere Roll and the present one, Latin and French had very much gone out of use, at any rate with the clerks who compiled the Rolls, and had been replaced by English of quite a modern type. It may be mentioned that the first official proclamation in which English was used was issued by Henry III. in 1258, not long before the Lechmere Roll, and that the two great English writers, Langland and Chaucer, were born only a few years after the compilation of the 1327 Roll. viii INTRODUCTION. This increased use of English is shown (i) hy the disuse of the French article ; (ii) by the translation of Place Names ; (iii) by the translation of Trade Names; and (iv) by the free use of thoroughly English Nicknames. (i) In 1327 the French article was not understood ; the genders were disregarded ; ‘ Le ’ was used almost always of females; some¬ thing may indeed be said for the use of ‘ le ’ in such names as Edith Le Dukes, Emma Le Heorl, Agnes Le Kynges, Alicia Le Parsones ; but no excuse except ignorance can be alleged for such false con¬ cords as Alicia Le Wydewe, Sarra Le Shapester (dressmaker), Matilda Le Gloveres. In the Lechmere Roll ‘ le ’ and ‘la’ are as a rule used correctly, though when the clerks came to a female bull they seem to have been puzzled ; for on p. 12 we find Margeria la Bole, but on p. 31 Juliana le Bole. (ii) In Place Names Latin is generally supplanted by English, sometimes with the help of an intermediate step in French. The constantly occurring names, ‘ de Fonte,’ ‘ de Ponte,’ ‘ de Monte,’ &c., are replaced by an equally monotonous succession of ‘ atte Welle,’ ‘ atte Brugge,’ ‘ atte Hulle,’ &c. Some few instances may be specially mentioned :— de Bosco, de Boys, atte Wode. de Fraxino, atte Nassche. de Porta, Portman, atte Zate. de Quercu, del Ok, Nak. de Ulmo, atte Helme, atte Nelme. The parish of Pedmore, on p. 40 of the present Roll, affords a good illustration of this tendency to translation into English. Of the 11 names there given six appeared in the Lechmere Roll but under a Latin form. Thus ‘atte Welle’ was ‘de Fonte;’ ‘atte Stone,’ ‘ de Petra ; ’ ‘ in the Hurne ’ (an old English word for corner), as ‘ de Angulo ; ’ ‘ atte Stille,’ ‘ de Scalario ^; ’ ‘ atte Pole,’ (French) ‘ de la Pole ; ’ ‘ Le Leche,’ ‘ Medicus.’ In Stoke Prior the strange name, Richard Byzondehee, in this • In the 1327 Roll for Staffordshire, under and by the addition of a prothetic ‘ N ’ it the head of Wednesbury, a man is said to becomes “ Nechells places are still so be “of the Echeles.” This seems to be called in the parish of Wednesbury, and in the French equivalent to the Latin scaJariuni Birmingham. (Anglice, stairs), and to the English stile ; INTRODUCTION. IX Roll, seems to be explained by Richard Overwater in the former one, as being no more than Beyond-the-sea, a translation into one form of English from another of some word meaning foreigner. (iii) In Names of Trades English very generally takes the place of Latin and French, which were now treated as foreign languages : for example ;— Aurifaber, Aufrey, Le Goldsmyth. Balistarius, Le Arblastr’. Bedellus, Le Budel. Bercator, Le Bercher, Le Sheph’, Le Herde. Carnifex, Le Bucher, Boche, Le Flesshewar. Piscator, Le Fyssha’. Rotarius, Le Rotours, (i*) Le Rour, (?) Le Trocher, Le Wheler. Venator, Le Venur, Le Hounte. (iv) Nicknames exist in abundance ; like Ballads, they are strong evidence of the existence of a vigorous national life ; and from them very many of our modern family names have been derived. Some of the more remarkable are given in the following list :— Arufryt Cayfot Dusseberd Goseye Le Bee Chauntecler Eleven Halpeni Billii Chikmel Folhardi Harepyn Bogy 2 Chylpat Fryday Harmles Bonebroc Cleywadel Galopyn Houtsex Bonefure ® Craylere Geliberd Jugement Bydawede Crompeloc Gnayobon Loump Cachefrench Doggetail Gommy Louy Candy^ Dubbedent Gopil ® Luggethach ’ In the meaning of ‘ companion or fel¬ low,’ the earliest instance given in Murray is in 1505. Here the word occurs in 1275, but with nothing to show its meaning, ex¬ cept that it is not a Christian name. ® Bogy, as an object of terror or the devil, is said by Murray to be quite modem. Here the word is found in 1327. 3 The earliest instance of bonfire given in Murray is in 1483. But possibly the word here may be “ Bouefure,” the con¬ fusion between n and u being constant and easily made : and this is confirmed by the corresponding name in the 1327 Roll being “ Abovethefur.” * Earliest in Murray, 1420; here the word is found in 1275. 5 In old French ‘Gopil’ means a young fox, and accordingly the Gopil of Benge- worth in 1275 appears in the Bengeworth of 1327 as Fox and le Fox.

Trades and Occupations, In most cases a trade de¬ scended from father to son, and thus the name had a strong tendency to become family or hereditary; e.g. Cook, Miller, Hay¬ ward, Porter, Taylor, and very many others. The two trades that are found in almost every village are those of miller and baker. It might have been supposed that people in the 13th and 14th century would bake their bread at home, especially since wood would be cheap and the difficulty of conveyance great ; but such does not seem to have been the case, for bakers appear everywhere and under varied names:—Bakare, Bachessor, Bagster, Baxter, (?) Beke ; Bollinger, Bullinger, Ballinger, Belinger, Bollinger ; P'urnur’, Furner, Forner, Fernier, Furnage; Pain, Pannier, Panmer; Pistor, Pester, Pestour, Pasteler ; Rybbare, Mooldare, Mold’; Wastel, Wytbred ; (?) Louf and Loof, le Ovane, atte Novene. Millers are named Molendinarius, Molend’, Moul, Mol’; Mulnare Mounare, Monner, Moun’, Mon’; Muleward, atte Mulle, de la Mulle ; Bolepekk, (?) Bolutil (from the boulting cloth). Leather dealers and dressers are called Pelliparius, Peleter, Peler ; Tannarius, Tanur’, Bercator, Bercar’, Barcar’, Barker; Doulare, Doul’ (a name still commonly used in Worcester in the glove trade), and (?) Buttare. Workers in cloth and linen would be found in almost every house, but the more expert or professional workmen were very variously distinguished according to the branch of the trade which they especially pursued :—Blakestare, Wytere (two words exactly opposed in origin, but both meaning bleacher) ; Kembestere, Kempe, Comber, Combar, Coumbar’ (from combing out or carding the flax or the wool); Teler, Teware, Towe, Towelar, and (?) Swengel (from ‘ The modern Merryweather ; weder 3 This may mean either a devotee or a meaning disposition. maker of beads. ® The earliest form of the word nightin- Possibly a pickaxe, gale: see Skeat, 5 Can this be “ wet in the arm ? ” INTRODUCTION. xl separating the flax by beating from its woody core, now called scutching) ; Fullo\ Tucchar’, Towker, Walker, Rubbare (from felting and thickening the cloth, either in fulling stocks, or by the actual use of the feet and hands) ; Filur, Troyare (from throwing or spinning thread) ; Textor, Textrix, Tixtor, le Webbe, Tredel; Tinctor, Teinturer, Heuster, Heur’, Dyer ; Roer, Rour, Rower, Rowe (teaseler or fuller) ; Linter, Strech; Shireman, Cyreman ^ (from cutting the pile); Chaloner Balan, Burel (from the names of the goods). Trades that have died out or are now known under new names, are found in much larger proportion in the earlier Roll; some of the more unusual of them are given in the accompanying list:— Bit, But, Butere, Buttare:—a fireman, so named from the leather buckets, called bitts or butts, which they were ordered to have in readiness to put out fires. For the word see the Ordinances of the Worcester Gilds in Toulmin Smith ; and for the bitts themselves see the lower room of the Worcester Guildhall. Brael, Braly, Bralard :—a girdler, from brail, a waistbelt, breech- girdle, or brace. Hence “ Bracegirdle ” is a duplicate name. Capyare, Kapiare, Kappe, Cappe; Barat, Baret; Horel, Hurel, Hurl:—a capper. Carboner, Colemon \ Coliare, Colier, Colyare, le Cole:—a charcoal burner; a term commonly found in the woodland districts of the County in this Roll. Ceintere, Ceinture, Ceynter, Seynter, Sengle :—a girdler. Coupere, Coupare, Copere, Cupere, Copper, Coppester, Coverour®, Coverur, Cuver :—a cooper. Deye, Deyare :—a dairyman. Dissare ; Segare, Sigare :—a sayer, teller of tales, jester. Dodemon (seller of duds) ; Hod, Odde (from the French hotte, a box or pack); Packet, Padget:—a pedler. Feutrer, Feutre, Feute, Feure, Fotur, Fot, Foet; Kenemon, Kene, Ken :—a keeper of dogs for the chase, an unleasher. ’ The word Fuller has two meanings ; seems to be connected with or derived from (i) filling, felting, thickening the cloth by the Latin “ Fullo.” “ Not in Murray, pounding or beating; (2) cleaning, whiten- 3 Murray gives no earlier instance than ing, and even bleaching the cloth by a simi- 1372. ^ Earliest given in Murray, 1494. lar process. In this latter sense the word s Not in Murray. INTRODUCTION. xii Fithelare, Vythelar’:—a fiddler. Furbur’ :—a furbisher or polisher of arms; Fustarius, Fewster :—a maker of wooden saddle-bows for pack saddles. Holdare, Holde ; Tenator, Tenur, Tenor;—a tenant. Hunte, Hounte, Hownte; Venator, Venur:—a hunter. Kytte, Sinarius :—a maker of milk pails. Legistr’, Playdur :—a lawyer or advocate. Mire, le:—the Mayor, the word commonly used for Mayors of towns. Reginald le Mire was living in the Ward of St. Martin’s, Worcester, in 1275. But as Mayors, at any rate under that name, were not known in Worcester at so early a date, the word may possibly mean no more than Major or Senior. Palmarius, Paumer, Poumer, Pumare; Burdun (from the staff) ; Rommer’ \ Romeiu (from going to Rome) ;—a pilgrim. Wake ; Wayte, Weyte, (?) Wyte :—a watchman. Wynter, Wyn ; Vinur, Vynur, Vyn :—a vintner. § 5. Surnames and Christian Names. Surnames were in almost universal use; there is no sign of their being in their infancy or that they had been adopted only a short time pre¬ viously. Of the 4,644 surnames in the 1327 Roll, 1,971 can be identified as occurring in the same villages 52 years before. By far the greater number of these will be family names, though de¬ ductions have to be made for Place-names and for Trade-names, but in much smaller proportion than would be the case in the present day; for the population was much less migratory, and trades have even now a strong tendency to remain in the same family. Nicknames too had crystallized and become hereditary: the following names, occurring at so long an interval in the same village (and nowhere else), must almost certainly refer not to the unfortunate man to whom the opprobrious epithet was first applied, but to his descendants : both Rolls mention a Folhardi at Pirton, a Peperwyt at Droitwich, a CalvestayP at Newland, a Strokedegrey at Ombersley, &c. ’ See Skeat on roam. Inquisitiones Post Mortem, p. 55, and in the “ In the Lechmere Roll this name occurs ordinances respecting Malvern Chase. (See in an abbreviated form as Calversti, but it Nash, II. 109, and App. 67.) is given at full length as Calvestayl in the INTRODUCTION. xiii Foreigners had been absorbed into the general population ; they had decreased in number from 74 to 45, and the French especially, from 29 to 13. The Danish colony that was settled at Longdoii in 1275 had disappeared in 1327; the one Russ or Russian of the Lechmere Roll is appropriately matched by a Hugh de Memel in the later; the Calabre and the de Rysnebrugge are no longer represented. Some Puritan names appear, as one might almost say, before their time ; such as, Wellbyloved, Godloues, Godsped, Le Prechour, and others. By this last, which is found at Bredon in both Rolls, a Friar or the descendant of a Friar is probably meant; for preaching was one of the forms of religious activity to which the P'riars especially devoted themselves : it could scarcely refer to the then Rector of the Parish, as he is very possibly represented by the Nicholas Persun of the earlier Roll. As regards Christian names, by far the commonest name for men is John; then, in order of prevalence, come William and Richard; followed at some distance by Thomas, Robert, Walter, and Henry ; close after come Nicholas and Adam, names used much more frequently than they are now ; Peter was seldom given, a proof, it is said, of the aversion of Englishmen even in those days for the See of St. Peter ; Edward and Edmund, very seldom; George, Frederick, Joseph, and Albert, not at all. For women, the two names most commonly used were Alice and Agnes; then Matilda, Isabella, Margery, and Cristina; not infrequently Petronilla, Juliana, and Editha; occasionally Isolda, Gunnilda, Agatha, and Ina ; in a few cases Emma, Lucy, Katharine, and Sarah ; one Elizabeth ; and not a single Mary, probably out of reverence for the Virgin Mary. Surprise may be felt at the large number of females whose names appear on these Rolls. Out of the first 2,061 names on the 1327 Roll, 212 are those of women. The proportion is similar in the Lechmere Roll; and of the 212 women just one tenth were preceded by women in the earlier Roll. And if any modern list of taxpayers be examined, e.g., the Worcester City Rate Book for the present year, or the list of persons assessed to the Income Tax, it will be found that this proportion holds good now as then. § 6. Migration of Population. The population was much XIV INTRODUCTION. less migratory in the 13th century than it is now ; and so family names reappear in these Rolls with little change except that of Christian names. In many villages most of the inhabitants were villans or ascripti glebae^ and therefore could not change their resi¬ dence at pleasure. P'or some villages we have the benefit of a third and still earlier list of inhabitants (free men, villans, cottars, &c.), in the year 1240, which is contained in the Liber Irrotularius, or Register of St. Mary’s Priory, Worcester. Thus we have lists at intervals of 52 and 87 years from the present Roll. For the present century there are three Directories for the County of Worcester available for purposes of comparison ; Kelly, published in 1892, Bentley, in 1841, and Lewis, in 1820. The intervals here, $ i and 72 years, are sufficiently close'for a rough comparison. In Stoke Prior in 1327, 35 persons were assessed ; of these families 22 appear in the Roll of 1275, and 25 in the Liber Irro¬ tularius of 1240. In the Directories 58 names are given for Stoke Prior in 1892; of these no more than 15 can be traced in 1841 ; and only 8 reach back to 1820. Thus in the 13th century, at the end of 87 years, 29 per cent, of the population are found to be new comers; whilst in the 19th century, after a shorter interval of 72 years, no less than 86 per cent, appear to be immigrants. § 7. Prothetic “N.” Several instances, some of them rather uncommon, are to be found in the later Roll, of the English custom of prefixing the letter N to nouns beginning with a vowel: not a single instance occurs in the earlier Roll; the same Place-names are given there, but they are either untranslated or appear in another form : as for example :—Nak = del Ok, de Quercu ; Nassche = de Fraxino (frequent); Nelme = de Ulmo ; Nende ; Nodeford; Noke ; Norchard ; Nouene = de Furno ; Noulton ; Novere = del Overe ; Noverton = del Overton. § 8 . Catch Names. Some names from these Rolls, contained in the appended list, are rather deceptive ; they might readily be mistaken for something other than they are.
