So many years have passed, since the first sheets of this volume were committed to the press, that the Editor is bound to acknowledge with thankfulness the patience with which the Members of the Camden Society have awaited its completion. His apology for the delay will be found, not only in public and private duties which allowed him little leisure, hut also in the fact, which he has mentioned in the “ Introduction,” that the work assumed a character materially different from that which was contemplated, when he engaged to edit for the Society “ The Domesday of St. Paul’s of the year 1222.” The pledge then given would have been redeemed by a brief account of that Manuscript, a catalogue of names and places, and of its general contents. But when other documents were added by way of Appendix to the Domesday, which showed the relation of the manors to the cathedral as a landed estate, held to farm by its own members, and occupied by a tenantry according to the general custom of the age, it was evident, that the materials, which were thus col- lected, belonged not to Church history in particular, but were illustrative of the general history of the Landed Vlll PREFACE. proprietary of England, as well as of the condition of those classes who were occupied in the cultivation of the soil. The work was no longer limited to one period, the early part of the thirteenth century, but comprised within it a documentary history of the Manorial property of the Cathedral, of its tenures and leases, and of the receipt and expenditure of the income derived from it during a period of 150 years, from the middle of the twelfth to the end of the thirteenth century. The more carefully the Editor applied himself to the study of each document, as he compared it with others of an earlier or later period, the wider was the field of inquiry which was opened to him, and the more interesting was the result, as the conclusion was pressed upon him, that the contents of this volume form a link in the connexion between Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Norman society, enabling us to trace hack to cen- turies prior to the Conquest some of the features, by which agricultural tenures in England continued to he distin- guished, as late as the end of the fourteenth century. The Editor has no reason to look hack with regret upon the hours which he has spent in the study and illustration of this collection of documents, much less to account them as misemployed. The contemplation of the peculiar character of society in a remote age, and the discovering how it agrees with, or differs from, that in which we ourselves are placed, must always be instructive to him who believes, that the varied condition of mankind, in every age and country,. is as truly the PREFACE. IX work of the Providence of God, as the creation and gene- ration of man is a proof of His power. It is the aim of antiquarian study, to learn the history not so much of individuals as of man, to develop the acts and habits of nations, to describe the phases of society, and to note the different conditions, political, social, moral, and religious, under which the human race has prolonged its existence. Prom the knowledge of antiquity the historian derives the light, which lightens the dark places in the vista of the past. It is this knowledge, which has the telescopic power of overcoming the distance of time, and of enabling us to see with distinctness, and to take an enlarged view, not only of what men have accomplished in past ages, but also of all that God has done in the world, and how he has made himself known to man; and, though some persons may account antiquarian study useless, because the practice of the past may not, as they think, furnish us with the knowledge which is now needed, or because the experience of former times is inapplicable to our own, there may be still much that is edifying and in- structive in these pursuits, and which may conduce to individual, if not to public good. Antiquity may teach the personal lesson of humility to the ablest lawyer, or statesman, or divine; for if candidly studied it will show, that our forefathers were in their age, and under their circumstances, as wise, and prudent, and learned as we are in our own, and that, however inferior they might be to ourselves in respect of physical science, yet in acute- CAMD. SOC. b X PREFACE. ness of perception, in strength of intellect, in the power of disputation, and in the application and adjustment of fixed principles of jurisprudence, there are few persons in this age, who are not surpassed by the lawyers and divines of ancient times. These remarks upon the general advantage of anti- quarian study having been premised, the Editor would apprise the reader of the particular conclusions, which he has drawn from the study of the documents here printed, and which he has endeavoured to a certain extent to embody in the Introduction, and which are these : that the Manorial system of England is of purely Anglo- Saxon origin ; that the great mass of the population was bound to their lords by civil rather than by military service ; that in the local customs of the Manors may be discovered the nature of the cultivation of the country, the different orders of society, and the relation in which they stood to each other; that one system of juris- prudence prevailed, which owed its origin, not to the will of the sovereign, but to the adjustment of rights acknowledged to exist between man and man ; and that if the existence of law, and of right, and of well-defined duties is an evidence of civilisation, it may be fairly questioned, whether after the cessation of the Homan power and during the establishment of the Anglo-Saxon dominion England was ever inhabited by a barbarous and lawless people. The Editor has had it in his power to examine only PREFACE. xi a few documents belonging to other Cathedrals or to Monastic bodies ; he has, however, seen enough to con- vince him, that many Lieger-books and Chartularies still exist, in which there are very complete records of the landed property of the Cathedral or Monastery, and which would throw still clearer light upon the character of the agricultural population, and the internal condition of the country. With respect to the annotations and illustrations of the documents in this collection, the Editor has to observe, that they have taken the form commonly used in editing classical authors. It is supposed that the reader has the work before him, and that facts are stated, or words occur, which can be illustrated by contemporary history, or by philological research. In attempting in such cases to fulfil the wishes, or to meet the wants, of the reader, conjecture must occasionally take the place of certain in- formation. The Editor has however rarely had recourse to conjecture without stating his grounds ; and, if he should have fallen into error, he will be glad to be instructed by those who are better informed. There is yet one duty which the Editor has to perform for the satisfaction of the reader — that of describing the form and character of the manuscripts now for the first time printed. It being convenient to take notice of them in an order different from that in which they are placed in this volume, the Editor will first address the attention of the reader Xll PREFACE. to the fragment of the Domesday of Radulphus de Dicet o, which is placed second in order, and is printed at page 109. This manuscript is preserved in the Bodleian Library (Bawlinson, B. 372). The Editor is indebted for the transcript of it to his friend the Bev. H. O. Cox, the under-librarian. It consists of only two leaves, written in double column, upon a larger page and in a larger hand than the Domesday of 1222, hut in the same character. It is probably a fragment of the Book B, belonging to St. Paul’s, which will be found de- scribed below as the Great Register of Radulphus de Dicet o. Eour books now preserved in the archives of St. Paul’s have supplied the other documents in this volume. It will facilitate the description of them to notice, Eirst, “ The Statuta Majora,” from which has been extracted the Compotus Maneriorum et Eirmarum, printed at p. 154. This is a folio volume of the time of Dean Baudake, in the early part of the fourteenth century ; its title distin- guishes it from the Statuta Minora, as being a larger volume, and written in a larger hand, the contents of both bein" nearly the same. The other three hooks are those known as Book K, Book I, and Book L, the letters by which they are distinguished being those which they bear in Dean Lyscux’s Catalogue of the Cartse and Books of the Cathedral, now remaining in the archives, which is a book of 144 leaves, the capital letters of which PREPACE. xm are rubricated, and of which the following account is given in the heading of the first page : — “ Tabula extracta de Evidentiis in Thesauraria Sci Pauli London, per Magistrum Thomam Lyseux Decanum, Anno domini 1447. Et nota, quod litera alphabeti signi- ficat armariolum signatum exterius cum tali litera, et numerus sequens significat cofinum vel pixidem signatum cum tali litera et tali numero.” The former part of the volume is a Catalogue of the Cartee, as deposited originally in the “Armariola,” book- cases, chests, or boxes. Some thousands of these Cartae are still preserved. The latter part of the volume con- tains a list of the Books, sixteen in number ; thirteen lettered A to N ; one lettered A B ; the remaining two being the Liber Goodman, and one, not then lettered. Of these books four only now remain in the Cathedral, A (the Liber Pilosus), K, I, and L. Of these latter three the following is a particular account : of the remainder more is not known, than is contained in the description of them from Lyseux’s Catalogue, as given in the table below. Book K. This book is printed entire in this volume, as the Domesday of St. Paul’s. It is a thin folio volume, and has its contents thus described in Dean Lyseux’s Cata- logue, “ Tabula Begistri de Visitatione Maneriorum per XIV PREFACE. Bobertum Decanum, anno domini m.cc.xxii. cooperti Dubio Corio, Secundo folio, 6 Laurentius filius Boberti,’ signati cum litera K.” It is in the original binding of red leather here men- tioned, and it has the words, “ Laurentius filius Boberti” on the top of the second folio, as here de- scribed. The number of folios is twenty-seven. The original MS. is written in double columns. Each column forms a page in this volume, and every line of the page corresponds with the line of the column. The manuscript is remarkable, as hav- ing the folios numbered with Arabic numerals, written originally from right to left, as in the margin ; the numbers being afterwards struck out, and a fresh series written in nearly the same character, but in the English order, from left to right. On the outside of the book is the letter K, and an inscription which has been erased, but in which the word Domesday is legible. Book L. This is a most interesting volume. It is thus described in Lvseux’s Catalogue : — “ Contenta in quodam antiquo et notabili Begistro, de tempore Will’i Conquestoris, clauso cum uno nodulo in medio, 2° folio in Bubrica c Privilegium,’ signatus cum litera L.” The book in x 3 •< 5 ~ •8 • O \\ * n •31 n •Ai •81 •oi 01 •T1 £l SI Ai PREFACE. XV its present state answers in every respect to the descrip- tion, except that the nodulus, or button, by which it was fastened has been taken away. The word “ Privi- legium” is found rubricated on the second folio. No part of it will bear out the statement of its very early date, but the first twenty-six folios; the remainder of the book is of the latter part of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The folios between 56 and 77 are two fasciculi inserted, 57 to 68 being larger, and 69 to 76 being smaller, than the original volume, and both of them written in the fourteenth century. The portions of this volume printed in this collection, are — 1. The Leases of Manors in the Twelfth Century, fol. 32, 38, 41, 46. 2. The Inquisition of Manors and Churches in 1181, fol. 77, 78, 81, 82. 2. The Rental of Lands in the Manor of Belchamp in 1240, fol. 113, 143. Book I. This book is a thick volume of 180 folios, and is thus described : “ Tabula Registri de visitatione ecclesiarum, maneriorum, ornamentorum, et omnium existentium in thesauraria, et omnium Cantariorum et Altarium, signati cum litera I. 2° folio c quarterio Arch.’ ” The Editor has availed himself of his reading in this book to illustrate the Domesday of 1222. The only parts of it, which are xm PREFACE. printed in this collection, are the “ Redditus Firmarum et Compotus Bracini,” and the “ Articuli Visitationis Maneriorum, circa 1290. ” The contents of the whole volume are various and interesting.

It will appear from the Table of Contents, that the present volume contains a collection of documents which, with one exception, are still preserved in the Archives of the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul’s, London, and which exhibit the nature and extent of the Manorial property belonging to that body in the 12th and loth centuries. The volume has, therefore, assumed a character materially different from that contemplated by the Editor, when the Council of the Camden Society kindly accepted his offer to superintend the publication of the document, which stands foremost in this collection, being “ A Domesday of St Paul’s,” or, as it is otherwise entitled, “An Inquisition of the Manors of the Chapter of St. Paul’s, in the year 1222,” and which had escaped the notice of the former historians of the Cathedral, Dugdale and Newcourt For this change no apology is perhaps necessary ; for, though students of English history, and espe- cially those who are conversant with the contents of the Exchequer Domesday, would have highly prized such a document as the St. Paul’s Domesday, though printed alone, the Editor was unwilling to lose the opportunity, which was so liberally conceded to him by the Camden Society, of adding to the “ Domesday of St. Paul’s” those documents of an earlier, as well as a later period, which he had found among the records of the Cathedral, which might throw still greater light upon the nature of Manorial property, by exhibiting the relation which existed between the Chapter as Lords of the manors, and the Firmarii, their Lessees ; the profit which, in the way of rent and of produce, accrued to the Chapter from their manors ; the method in which it was paid ; and the distribution of it amongst the members of the Cathedral. The Manors, the history of which, as part of the possessions of the CAMD. SOC. b 11 INTRODUCTION. Chapter of St. Paul’s, is illustrated by the contents of this volume, are as follows : — Kadenden, Kenesworth, Sandun, Luffen- hale, Erdeley, Beauchamp, Wicham, Adulvesnasa, Tid- wolditun, Tillingham, Barling, R unwell, Norton, Nastok, Chingeford, Sutton and Drayton, in Middlesex. Bernes, in Surrey. in the county of Herts. | in the county of Essex. The order in which they are thus arranged, is that in which they stand in the Domesday of St. Paul’s, of 1222, and in which they were visited, in the progress made that year (being the second year after the translation of Saint Thomas of Canterbury, see p. 85) by Robert de Watford, the Dean, and Henry de Cornhill, the Chancellor of the church. The Records of the Cathedral exhibit no conclusive evidence as to the time or the circumstances under which either the Chapter as a body, or the Prebendaries as individuals, became possessed corporately and individually of their lands and manors. The Cathedral has indeed been supposed to possess charters of Anglo-Saxon kings, iEthelberht, Athelstan, Eadgar, and Eadward, ranging from the 7th to the 11th century, granting to the Cathedral divers lands and liberties attached thereto. These charters are Nos. 982, 1126, 1127, 1259, and 913, in that most valuable work the Codex Diplomaticus of Mr. Kemble. The lands thus said to have been granted can be traced in the Exchequer Domesday, as belonging to the Cathedral at the time of the Conquest, and it does not appear that any addition was made to them at any subsequent period. This circumstance does not invalidate the charge of spuriousness, which has been adduced against those charters. Two inferences, however, may fairly be drawn from it — first, that at the time of their fabrication the liberties mentioned in them as emanating from the bounty of the early kings did exist and were possessed by the church, as therein indicated ; and secondly, that when these grants were produced as genuine, the possessions and liberties mentioned in them had belonged to the church for so long a period, that such documents might well be used, to account for what had already become prescriptive by time and usage, and to confirm the tradition which INTRODUCTION. iii had assigned to a remote period the original acquirement of the property by the church. The manor of Tillingham, in the hundred of Dengey in the county of Essex, was accounted the most ancient possession, and the gift of it ascribed to JEthelberht ; that of Sandun, Erdeley, Beauchamp, Wicham, Tidwolditun, R unwell, iEdulvesnasa, Drayton, and Bernes to Athelstan ; that of Nastok to Eadgar ; and of Barling and Chingeford to the Confessor Eadward. At whatever period those charters were written, it is evident that the writers of them knew how to distinguish the more ancient possessions from those acquired at a later period, namely Nastok, Kenesworth, and Norton, and upon which the Exchequer Domesday throws some light. Whether Nastok was originally acquired by purchase, as described in the charter of Eadgar (No. 1259), may be doubtful ; but the statement in the Exchequer Domesday that the canons had obtained it “ex dono Regis ” a from William, renders it probable, that the church had already some rights there, whilst the late possession of Kenesworth and Norton, as deduced from the same authority, accords with the omission of those places in the supposititious charters; since we read of Kenesworth , b “ Hoc manerium tenuit Leuwinus cilt de Rege E. and of Norton, 0 that it belonged T. R. E. to a lady named Godida. All the Manors of the Cathedral which were visited in 1222, and are described in the St. Paul’s Domesday of that year, are mentioned by name in the Exchequer Domesday, Sutton excepted, which is not there described, except as that part of the Episcopal Manor of Fulham which was held by the Canons of St. Paul’s, which contained five hides, and was “ de victu canonicorum.” The Domesday of St. Paul’s, it must be observed, does not include all the lands belonging to the Prebendaries of the church, as the endowments or “ corpses ” of their Prebends, but only those Manors which formed the “ Communa,” the revenue and produce of which were appropriated to the support and sustenance of all the members of the Cathedral in regular gra- dation, from the highest personage, the Dean, to the humblest servitor, the Doorkeeper of the brewery. It is remarkable that, though the Statutes of the Cathedral describe the thirty Prebendaries as forming with the Bishop “ unum corpus,” of which he is the head, there is no evidence of his sharing with them any part of the revenue, or of his living in intercourse with them. a Domesday, Essex, p. 13. b Domesday, Herts, p. 136. c Domesday, Essex, p. 13. IV INTRODUCTION. The Bishops'of London appear to have possessed their Manors in the time of the Anglo-Saxon kings in their own right, for there are no traces of any of the Episcopal lands having at any time belonged to the Cathedral. At what period certain lands were attached to each of the thirty Prebendaries, and the Manors described in the St. Paul’s Domesday separated from the rest to form the “ Communa,” is unknown. There is reason to believe that this apportionment was begun, if not completed, before the Conquest; for in the Exchequer Domesday 3 we read that the Canons Durandus and Gueri held lands at Twyford, Radulphus at llugmere, and Walter at Pan- eras ; and to the Prebend denominated “ Consumpta per Mare,” lands were at one time attached in the parish of Walton-le-Soken ; the catastrophe denoted by the name of the Prebend, having been supposed to occur about the time of the Conquest. The locality of these Prebendal Manors is interesting. They are remarkable as much for their distance from as for their proximity to London. Thus we find two Prebends in Bedfordshire, now called Caddington Major and Caddington Minor, adjoining the Chapter Manor of Cadendon in Herts, but which originally were one Manor belong- ing to the Chapter ; b the Prebends of Sneating and Consumpta per Mare are in Walton-le-Soken in the hundred of Tendring in Essex, within the manor of Adulvesnasa ; the Prebends of Ealdland, Weldland, and Reculverland, are at Tillingham in Dengy hundred, in the same county ; the prebend of Chiswick is in Middlesex. Of the remainder of the Pre- bends, twenty-two in number, no less than nine are at Willesdon in Middlesex: viz, Willesdon, Bromesbury, Brownswood, Chamberlain Wood, Mapesbury, Neasdon, Harleston, Oxgate, and Twyford; whilst the rest of them, thirteen in number: viz., Pancras, Rugmere, Totenhall, Kentish Town, Islington, Newington, Holborn, Portpool, Finsbury, Hoxtcn, Wenlock’s Barn, Mora, and Eald Street, are found to occupy a belt of land of no inconsiderable breadth, from the walls of the city of London towards the north, extending from Pancras on the west to the Episcopal Manor of Stepney on the east. The rents of these lands appear to have been always separately enjoyed by the Prebendaries, and there seems little doubt that each Prebend was in itself sufficiently valuable to render the great majority of the Prebendaries * Domesday, Middx, pp. 12/ b, 123 a. Domesday, Bedfordshire, p. 211. INTRODUCTION. V indifferent as to obtaining- that increase of their incomes, which was afforded by residence at the Cathedral. To this subject, however, it will be necessary to revert hereafter ; the attention of the reader being now to be directed to that portion of the lands of the Cathedral, which forms the subject of the St. Paul’s Domesday, which was under the .management of the Dean and Chapter, and in the revenues of which all the members of the Church, the thirty Prebendaries, the Vicars, the Minor Canons, and the Servants of the Church had a proportionate interest. Before we proceed further, it may be right to apprize the reader, that he must not expect to find anything in the present collection of documents, which may explain the relation in which the cathedrals of the Anglo-Saxon or Anglo-Norman times stood to the Church at large, as places of solemn worship, as seminaries of learning, or as affording opportunities for retire- ment from the world. The religious character of the Cathedral could only be exhibited by the publication of its ancient “ Regula Canonica,” and of its Statutes. In the present work we have to consider the Cathedral only as a Corporation possessed of Manors and Churches, standing in the samerelation to the Crown as other Tenants in capite, and having to fulfil to their Tenants the same duties, and receive from them the same services as other Lords of Manors ; and if the conduct of the Dean and Chapter, in the manage- ment of their Manors, was in accordance with the general practice of other landlords, it would afford us a view of the condition of the country at large, and help to explain the progress of those changes, which have taken place in the relation between landlord and tenant, in the mode of payment of rent, and the general cultivation of the land, which have made agricultural England what it now is. It must, however, be borne in mind, that since Corporations generally, and particularly ecclesiastical Corpora- tions, have less power than individuals to change their customs in accord- ance with the changes produced by time, their proceedings may at all times be supposed to have an old-fashioned character, and to indicate the general customs of a former period, rather than an exact picture of the existing habits of the time. The Domesdays of St. Paul’s are records of Inquisitions. Thus we read at page 109, “Annus ab incarnatione Domini millesimus centesimus octogesimus primus facta fuit inquisitio maneriorum beati Pauli per Radulfum de Diceto Decanum Lundoniensem, Anno primo sui deca- V] INTRODUCTION. natus, assistentibus ei tam magistro Henrico de Norhamtona, quam domino Roberto de Clifford and at page 85, “ Inquisitio facta in manerio de Chingeford per Robertum decanum, Henricum cancellarium anno secundo post translationem beati Thomae martyris Cantuariensis Archiepis- copi.” The Inquisition is the recorded verdict of a Jury, the directions for their impanelment being as follows : “ For the more easy discovery of the truth, we have decreed, that, according to the extent of the Manors and the number of the inhabitants, a greater or lesser number be chosen and bound by the obligation of an oath administered to them, that, in answering the interrogatories, they will not knowingly either suppress the truth or assert what is false.” a The names of the Jurors will be found prefixed to the In- quisition of each Manor, their number varying according to the foregoing direction, the largest jury being composed of twelve, others of eight or nine, and the smallest, that of Norton, of only three. The Inquisitions are dated on the day of holding the visitation ; but it is manifest from the nature of the return, that much time must have been spent upon it pre- viously. The books we now possess may be regarded, as engrossed copies of the Inquisition of each Manor, written at leisure, and transcribed from the original minutes into a book. The fragment of the Domesday of Ralph de Diceto, (seepage 110,) which records the day upon which the Inquisition of each Manor was taken, enables us to describe the progress made by the Dean, and two of his brother Canons, to visit their manors in the year 1181. The Inquisitions began on the 8th of January, and ended on the 30th of the same month, commencing at Kadendon, near Dunstaple, and termi- nating at Sutton, near Chiswick in Middlesex. The whole period is twenty- three days; but, since at p. 1 12 it is distinctly said that the Inquisition was made in twenty -two days, we must assume that the dean and his brethren had been staying at Kadendon when the Inquisition commenced, and that the period of twenty-two days’ denotes the length of time actually occupied in the visitation after their leaving Kadendon. a “ Ut facilius veritas erueretur, pro maneriorum capacitate, pro numero colonorum, modo plures, modo pauciores, eligendos decrevimus artatos prsestita jusjurandi religione, quod ad interrogata nec verum supprimerent, nec assererent falsum scienter.” — p. 112.

The days of the week upon which the progress was made have been determined by the tables in Nicolas’s Chronology. The Dominical letter of the year 1 181 being D, and Easter Day falling in that year on April 5, it follows that the Sundays occupied in the progress were the 11th and the 18th of January, and this appears to be confirmed by the fact that the visitation at Kirkeby on the 18th was held in the church. Inquisitions of this formal kind do not appear to have been very fre- quently made, the earliest upon record being that just mentioned, by Radulph de Diceto, in 1181 ; the next that of 1222, by the Dean Robert de Watford, and which forms the chief subject of this volume ; whilst a third, that of 1279, by Dean Baudake, forms a portion of Book I., now remaining in the Archives. Articles of Visitation of a later period are extant; but the three Visitations of 1181, 1222, and 1279 are those alone which now T remain containing a regular inscription of all the names of the tenants, with their rents, ranks, and services, and forming a record resem- bling, in its general features, the Exchequer Domesday, but with greater minuteness of description. It was probably the progress of time, removing the men of one generation and replacing them by another, which rendered it necessary to have a fresh enrolment of names and tenures. As respects the far greater number of the tenants, the claims of the Lord of the Manor were limited to customary rents and fixed service ; an increased rate of rent was to be obtained only for newly-inclosed lands, or lands belonging to the demesne ; so that the chief object of the Inquisition was the identifi- cation of the persons by whom the services due were to be paid. On the part then of the Dean and Chapter, a new Domesday was not the prelude to any fresh exaction ; it was rather a renewed declaration of rights and duties between the owner and the occupier of the soil, as well as a solemn INTRODUCTION. IX inquiry whether any of the rights of the tenants had been unlawfully acquired. It was the verdict of a jury, as to the rights which the parties possessed, and not a record of the re-letting of the land. In their use, not less than in their form, the Domesdays of St. Paul’s resembled the Domesday of the Exchequer. That census defined the rights of the Sovereign, by recording the number of hides and the values of the manors ; and in like manner the Domesdays of St. Paul’s, in recording the holdings and services of the tenants, virtually limited the rights of the Chapter to the receipt of those payments, which had been in a solemn manner ascertained. It is a common notion that the Domesday book of William is a work entirely original in its character ; that it was compiled in order to enable the Sovereign to extort money from the people, and is chiefly interesting as being the record of the subjugation of England to a foreign power. The discovery of other Domesday books, compiled for the use of other bodies and persons, and which are not records of violent transfer of property by war, but official testimonies of quiet possession of lands by inheritance, by grant, or by purchase in times of peace, will how- ever encourage us to take a more charitable view of the Exchequer Domes- day itself; whilst the careful comparison of the Royal with the other Domesdays may lead to the conclusion that the Exchequer Domesday, considered as a whole, is rather the record of ancient relations existing between the landlords and their tenants than of the newly-acquired rights of the Norman lords, and that the state of society described in it was not one newly formed by the Conquest, but that which had existed in England under the Anglo-Saxon kings. Sir Henry Ellis, in his learned Introduction to Domesday, mentions four books of the same denomination. The first, a Domesday belonging to the Dean and Chapter of York ; the second, that belonging to the Nuns of Haliwell ; the third, one which existed in the archives of the Earls of Chester ; the fourth, the Domesday of Ralph de Diceto belonging to St. Paul’s. In order to complete the catalogue, we must now reckon in the number of Domesdays — 1. The Liber Wintoniensis of Henry I. printed in the Appendix to Domesday. 2. The survey of the tenants in the city of Winchester (which forms the second part of the Liber Wintoniensis), made by command of Henry Bishop of Winchester in 1148. 3. The Bolden Book (also printed in the Appendix), being an inquisition of the lands and rents CAMD. SOC. c X INTRODUCTION. of the bishoprick of Durham, by Bishop Hugo, in 1183. 4. The survey of the manors of St. Paul’s in 1*222, printed in the following pages, and denominated the Domesday of Dean Robert de Watford. 5. A similar survey by Ralph de Baudake, Dean of St. Paul's, in 1279. We know then of the existence of eight books subsequent to the Exchequer Domesday, compiled at different intervals during two centuries, identical in character, and bearing the same denomination, those of them which have been brought to light being records of inquisitions of the respective rights and duties of the lord of the soil, and of the tenant within the limits either of cities or manors. The Exchequer Domesday is a return of the value and condition of the Manors at two distinct periods — at the time when the return was made, and in the days of Edward the Confessor. It is probable that records were in existence which enabled the jurors of each county, at the dis- tance of twenty-three years from the death of Edward, to describe so minutely the former and present condition of each manor, its value, the power of the tenants to part with their lands with or without the consent of the lord, the names of the tenants, the number of acres held by them, and the services due from them. The return of the royal revenue prior to the Conquest, and of the dues from courts of justice, shared by the Crown, the Comes or Earl, and the Prelates, and collected by the Vicecomes or Sheriff in each county, implies the use of written documents. Take, for instance, the rights which the Confessor had in the burgh of Wallingford (Domesday, p, 56), the varied nature of which will prove, that without a rental, and without minutes of the legal proceedings within the burgh, the King’s prmpositus would neither have been able to collect the gavel, amounting to eleven pounds, from two hundred and seventy-six holdings, denominated hagce , nor have satisfied the king’s officers, that he duly certified the forisfacturce or forfeitures which belonged to the Crown. All the Domesday books have one common feature, that of being rentals of manors and records of manorial rights ; but in the Royal Domesday the rental is given only in the form of a brief abstract : in the Capitular Domesdays, the enumeration of the tenants and of their lands is set forth in the fullest extent. The former has the appearance of an abridgment of a Manorial Court roll, the latter are the Court-rolls at length. The most ancient Court-rolls now extant are identical in character with that series of Records belonging to St. Paul’s, INTRODUCTION. XI the most ancient of which are called Domesdays. The title of the Court-roll of Castle Combe, Wilts, is “ Reddituale cum Custumario de Castlecombe factum ad festum Sancti Michaelis anno Regni Regis Edw per sacra- mentum Walteri North,” &c. This document is of as early a date as 1340, The annual rent of the manor was 15£. 12s. 8 d. and the number of the tenants exceeded fifty. Identity of character would seem to indicate a common use. At Castle Combe, the court rolls were the records of proceedings on the days therein termed law-days — on those days in which not only rents were received, but legal rights and duties ascertained. And if, as is probable, the Exchequer Domesday, being the rental of all the manors of the kingdom in an abridged form, was compiled from inquisitions held on the Domes-days of the different Manors, or on the Law-days of the Hundreds, called Lagehundred (at p. 86), such a fact would illus- trate the meaning of the term Domesday, when applied alike to the Liber Censualis of the Crown and to the ancient Court-roll of a Capitular Manor, as being records framed upon the oaths of jurors in a Domes* day or Law- day inquisition. The Domesday books are then records, which illustrate the condition of England as occupied in the pursuits of peace rather than of war, for Manors are civil possessions and not military commands; and, though the owner of the Manor was bound to act in the military defence of the country, the tenantry, who dwelt on the estate, had no such duties to perform. They were the labourers, not the soldiers of the Lord. Manors, whether royal, baronial, or episcopal and ecclesiastical, were to their owners sources of wealth, derived from two distinct sources — the exercise of a legal jurisdic- tion and the rent or cultivation of land. The Ecclesiastical Manors differed in no respect from those which were in lay hands. They were the sources of income, not the field of spiritual labour. They contributed to the sup- port of the Bishop or of the Chapter, and of the religious household of the Cathedral, by profits and revenues no way different from those derived by the Sovereign and the Lords from other Manors. It is remarkable, that neither the Exchequer Domesday, nor the Domesdays of St, Paul’s contain any evidence, that the Ecclesiastical manors had any superior religious privileges, or were the centres from which religious knowledge was diffused to the neighbourhood. The Manors of the religious houses were in reality secular possessions ; and their history, as shewn in the Domesdays of St. Xll INTRODUCTION. Paul’s, is valuable as illustrating the social, rather than the religious, con- dition of the time. The documents of the present volume exhibit to us in minute detail the various relations in which owners and occupiers of lands in England stood to each other in the middle of the 12th century, at the distance of not more than one hundred years from the Conquest; the fragment of the Domesday of Ralph de Diceto in 1181 (see pages 109-117), and the leases of the manors (see pages 122-139) connecting the later documents with those of the earlier period, and the whole of them taken together proving most clearly, that from the middle of the 12th century to the be- ginning of the 14th no change took place in the general occupation of the country. Their chief value, however, will be found to consist in the retro- spective view which they enable us to take of antecedent periods, and to unite the state of society in the Anglo-Norman with that in the Anglo- Saxon times, the contracted character of the Exchequer Domesday being in the St. Paul’s Domesday written in extenso, and the relations of landlord and tenant, briefly recorded in the older document, being in the later more fully explained. The Manors of St. Paul’s, in common with the other Manors of the kingdom, consisted of two distinct portions : the lands of the Demesne, and the lands of the Tenants. As respects the Capitular Manors in the counties of Middlesex, Hertford, and Surrey, the proportion which the Demesne bore to the Tenants’ lands is distinctly stated in the Exchequer Domesday; but in the enumeration of the Capitular manors in the county of Essex, the only intimation of this division is in the distinction between the carucae or plough-teams in the demesne, and those which belonged to the Tenants. The Domesdays of St. Paul’s supply the defect, and enable us to ascertain, with respect to the whole of the property, the number of hides in each Manor of both descriptions, whether Tenants’ land or Demesne. The whole number of hides of land to which the Chapter was assessed to hidage in 1222 was 133^. In fourteen out of the eighteen Manors, the number of rateable hides had remained the same from the time of the Conquest, but at Tidwoldintun the variation consisted in reduction from eight hides to three, at Chingford and at Ardley from six to five, at Drayton from ten to nine, whilst at Nastock there was an increase from seven to eight. INTRODUCTION. Xlll These variations are interesting, not only as indicating changes in the condition of the Manors as respects the extent of cultivation, but as imply- ing a power on the part of the Tenants in capite of procuring from the Crown a relaxation of the burden of hidage. Whether any general revisal of the Survey of the Conqueror took place in later reigns is uncertain ; but when we discover in the records of St. Paul’s a full Inquisition of all the Manors (see pages 140-146), in which the number of hides is recorded at which each Manor “ defendebat se” in the time of Henry the First and William the Dean, several of the Manors being rated otherwise than they had been in the Exchequer Domesday, it is reasonable to conclude, that these changes were not made without the consent and approval of the Crown ; and when we further learn, that William the Dean adjusted the payment of the hidage between the Demesne and the Tenants’ lands in the manor of Barling (see page 143), there is ground for conjecture that, as the variations above alluded to were made in his time, they might also be made by his endeavours and under his superintendence. That the Crown at later periods than that of William in some cases diligently investi- gated its ancient rights, is evident from the Liber Wintoniensis of Henry I., which opens with the following preface : <£ Henricus Rex volens scire quid Rex Edwardus habuit omnibus modis Wintoniae in suo dominico, Burgensium suorum sacramento hoc comprobari jussit.” Such attention, however, to the rights of the Crown is not inconsistent with a due regard to the relief of the subject, either as of favour or of right. In the case of the Manor of Tid- woldintun (Heybridge) the reduction of the number of rateable hides, first from 8 to 7\ and then from to 3, is worthy of remark, the latter reduc- tion having taken place between 1181 and 1222. The Manor lies at the extreme end of the Blackwater estuary, on the coast of Essex, In the time of Stephen, tempore guerrce , (see page 142,) some inroad of the sea and destruction of woods had taken place, to the injury of the produce of the manor, and some similar misfortune at a later period might have given occasion to a reduction of the hidage from seven and a half hides to three. The Hide of land in the Manors of St. Paul’s contained 120 acres, or four virgates of thirty acres ; but, besides the ordinary Hide, we find mention at Tillingham, Sutton, and Drayton of land of a different denomination, and occasionally liable to a different burden of taxation, the “ Hida de solanda.” At Drayton this hide did not pay “ geld ” with the other hides, “ nisi XIV INTRODUCTION. quum communiter fiunt exactiones per hidas” (p. 99). Whether the solanda at Sutton and those at Tillingham had the like exemption is doubtful. A solanda consisted of two hides (pp. 58 and 93), but probably in this case the hide was not of the ordinary dimension. The word solanda , or as it is written at p. 142 scolanda, is so evidently a latinized form of the Anglo-Saxon sulung , or plough-land, and approaches so near to the Kentish solinus , that we need scarcely hesitate to consider them identical, and since we learn from the Domesday Survey of the possessions of St. Martin’s at Dover (vol. i. f. 2) that 450 acres make two solins and a half, the solin being therefore 180 acres, we gather from hence that the solanda probably did not contain two full hides of 120 acres, but two smaller hides of 90 acres each, or 180 acres, being the Kentish solinus or Anglo-Saxon sulung. In the Manors of St. Paul’s the actual extent of the land much exceeded the quantity at which it was rated ; and if throughout the whole kingdom the same proportion was observed, it would follow generally, that land was rated to hideage at about two-thirds of its real extent. The 133^ hides of St. Paul’s (reckoning the hide at 120 acres) would have contained only 16,020 acres ; but an enumeration of the whole of the lands shews an actual acreage of nearly 24,000 acres. Of these 24,000 acres, three-eighths were in demesne and five-eighths belonged to the tenants, being for the most part lands of inheritance, subject to the rents and services of which we shall have to take notice. Broad however as is the distinction in the description of these Manors between the land of the Demesne and the land of the Tenants, it appears from the number of the acres which were held by the tenants “ de dominico,” and from the services performed by them, that the lords of Manors had power, if not to alienate the Demesne in perpetuity to tenants, at least to grant to them a right of occupation, upon con- ditions of service not different from those attached to lands which did not form part of the demesne. It would be out of place to enter upon an inquiry whether, in the original formation of Manors, one part of the Manor was not demesne, and another part held by the people ; but when at later periods land was granted to tenants, the land so granted was said to be assised. Thus we read at p. 140, in the manor of Ardley : “ De sex praedictis hydis duae fuerunt in dominio et quatuor assisce et adhuc sunt INTRODUCTION. XV and at Tillingham, p. 58, we find an enumeration of tenants “ de dominico antiquitus assiso and at LufFenhall, p. 20, “ Isti tenent de hida assisa per Odonem;” and at p. 94, “ Isti tenent de terra assisa.” It has been stated that the Exchequer Domesday supplies us with little information as to the relative extent of the Tenants’ lands, and of the De- mesne, in the county of Essex ; the enumeration of the Carucse, or plough- teams, in the Demesne, and of the Carucse of the Homines, or Tenants, affording no certain clue to the acreage of the two portions of the manor. Concerning, however, the nature of the Carucse the records of St. Paul’s afford some valuable information. In the survey of the Manor of Adul- vesnasa, in the Exchequer Domesday, vol. ii. we have this description of the Carucse of the demesne and of the tenants. “ Vi. carucse in dominio. Tunc inter homines lx. carucse, modo xxx.” In the lease of that manor, granted in the time of Ralph de Diceto, some 120 years later, see p. 125, we have renewed mention of these six Carucse in the demesne, with the addition of the number of oxen attached to them, and as being a part of the stock of this Manor leased to the lessee : “ Restauramentum tale est : sex carrucse, de quinque unaquseque x. boum, sexta autem viii. boum.” The St. Paul’s Domesday of 1 222 differs from the Exchequer Domesday, in making no distinct mention of the Carucse possessed by the tenants ; but in each Manor the number and strength of the teams, which, when added to the “ consuetudines,” or customary labour performed by the tenants, were sufficient for the cultivation of the demesne, are particularly stated. The general form of the Inquisition, as respects the plough teams, is, “ Di- cunt quod potest fieri Wainagium cum totidem carucis totidem capitum cum consuetudinibus villatse.” But as to the strength and composition of these teams there is much variety “ Potest fieri wainagium manerii cum duobus carucis viii. capitum,” p. 8. “ Quinque carucse, quarum tres habent iiij. boves et iiij. equos et dum singulae vi. equos,” p. 13. “ Quatuor carucse x. capitum,” p. 28. “ Tres carucse x. capitum, scilicet in qualibet viij boves et ij. equi,” p. 48. “ Duse carucse bonse cum xx . capitibus scilicet cum x. equis et x. bobus,” p. 53. “ Duse carucse xx. capitum, scilicet cum xii. bobus et viij. equis,” p. 59. “ Duse carucse cum xvi. capitibus, scilicet medietas equorum et medietas boum,” p. 65. XVI INTRODUCTION. “ Potest wainagium fieri cum xii. bovibus et quatuor stottis,” p. 93. Hence it appears that of whatever kind of animals the Carucae or teams were formed, there were in each team not less than six, eight, or ten head of cattle, either horses alone, or beasts alone, or horses and beasts intermixed. It must be obvious to every student of the Exchequer Domesday, that the abstracts of inquisitions, which constitute the body of that work, were made by different persons, and that the information derived from it, as respects the condition of Manors throughout the kingdom, is not of an uniform cha- racter. The Domesday of Essex is distinguished by the frequent enumera- tion of the live stock of the manors, and the comparison of the number of animals of each description existing at the two periods — the time of the Sur- vey and the time of the Confessor. Thus in the survey of the manor of Brachestedam, in the hundred of Witham (vol. ii. p. 49), it is recorded, that in the time of the Confessor there were in that manor “ two horses (run- cini), fourteen beasts (animalia), forty pigs, and eighty sheep ; but at the time of the Survey there were found one horse, six beasts, forty-six pigs, one hundred and ten sheep, and four hives of bees.” The Manors belonging to the canons of St. Paul’s in the county of Essex are enumerated at pp. 12 and 13 of the same volume, and a similar account of the live stock is also given; e. g., at Belchamp there were nine beasts, two horses, forty pigs, an hundred sheep, and five goats. At Wicham two horses, four beasts, twenty-three pigs, fifty sheep, twenty-four goats, and two hives of bees. The live stock upon these manors of St. Paul’s is in some cases said to have been always (that is, in the time of the Confessor and also at the time of the Survey) the same ; a circumstance which is explained by the supposition, that the live stock thus enumerated was that which formed the implementum of the demesne, distinct mention of which is made in the leases of manors contained in this volume (pp. 122 — 139), as received by the fivmarius at the commencement of his lease, and rendered either in kind or value at its termination. It appears from those leases, which were granted nearly a century after the Conquest, that this live stock had in the mean time been varied, and we cannot, as in the case of the Carucae of Adulvesnasa, identify the stock as being the same in extent at the earlier and the later period ; we can however in one instance identify its character, by the beasts, the horses, the pigs, and the goats, which at both periods are described, p. 121, as belonging to the manor of Wicham. INTRODUCTION. XYll In the Exchequer Domesday, whether a manor belonged to the king or a prelate, or to any other body or person, its description is of the same character and relates to the same particulars, the general form being as follows : — “ Herfordscire (f. 136, a.) “ Terra Sancti Pauli Lundon. In Danais Hundred. “ Canonici Lundonienses tenent Canesworde. Pro x. hidis se defendit. Terra est x. carucarum. In dominio v. hidae, et ibi sunt ii. carucae et adhuc iii. possunt fieri. Ibi viii. villani cum iii. bordariis habent ii. carucas, et adhuc iii. possunt fieri. Ibi iii. servi. Pastura ad pecus. Silva c. por- corum, et de redditu silvae ii. solidi. In totis valentiis valet Ixx. solidi. Quando receperunt c. solidi , et tantumdem tempore Regis Edwardi. Hoc manerium tenuit Leuuinus Cilt de rege Edwardo.” The clause in this return, to which we would now direct the attention of the reader, is that which is printed in Italics, and which records the value of the manor at three periods, the time of the Survey, the time when the Chapter became possessed of it, and the time of Edward the Confessor. This mode of describing the value of manors is universal throughout the Domesday, nor is it limited to manors ; tenements which consisted of but a few acres being similarly valued, e.g. twenty acres in one place being valued at forty pence, and thirty-five acres in another at forty-six pence. Such phrases as li valet ” and “ valuit ” would seem to indicate the value of the whole estate, and such is the interpretation of the term, which has been adopted by the learned Dr. Nash in his Commentary upon the Domesday of Worcestershire, and probably by other writers. A comparison however of the inquisitions of manors in the Exchequer Domesday, both with each other and with the inquisitions of the St. Paul’s Domesdays, will render it probable that the terms “valet” and “ valuit” do not represent the value of the whole estate, but only the annual profit derived from money rents. For the elucidation of this subject we shall first exhibit in parallel columns inquisitions of Royal and of Ecclesiastical Manors ; from which it will be evident that, whatever was the object in view in estimating and recording these values, the manors of the Crown and of its subjects were estimated and recorded in the same manner; and also, that whatever it might be, upon which a value was put, whether land or rent, in the Royal manor, CAMD. SOC. d XV111 INTRODUCTION. the same thing was valued in all other manors ; and since in very many cases it is the annual value, at which the estate was let to farm, or the annual rent received, which is recorded in the inquisition, we have ground for con- jecture, that it was the annual value which was sought to be ascertained in the inquisition, and which is accordingly expressed by the term “ valet ” or “valuit;” the truth of the conjecture being confirmed by its solving nearly all the difficulties, which follow from the supposition that “valet” means the value of the fee simple of the estate, and also by its reconciling the different descriptions of value with each other : — Hantescire.

It is then obvious, that all the values of these manors are annual values ; and there being no reason to imagine, that in these manors the term “ valet ” INTRODUCTION. XIX is employed in a peculiar sense, we conclude that generally, and in other cases where the value of the estate put to farm is not given, the word “ valet ” also means annual value. It is further to be observed, that in the Exchequer Domesday the terms “ reddit ” and “ redditus ” frequently supply the place of “ valet.” In the Domesday of Wiltshire the “ Terra Regis ” contained twenty-two manors. Six of them may be distinguished from the rest as ancient Royal manors, which had never paid, nor been estimated for, hidage, but which “ reddi- derunt firmam unius noctis cum omnibus consuetudinibus,” the value of this redditus being at Chepehan 1 1 0/. and at Theodulveside 100/. The value of fourteen other manors, some of which had belonged to Harold, is estimated in most of them as “ redditus,” but in others by the term “ valet.” So also in the royal manors in the county of Oxford (nine in number), two, Langford and Scoptone, were held to farm. The value (valet) of the former manor being eighteen and of the latter nine pounds ; but the remaining seven manors have their values described as “ redditus,” and in three cases as a redditus per annum.” These are a few out of many instances, which might be adduced to confirm the suggestion, that “ valet ’’ throughout the Exchequer Domesday means only the annual value of money-rent, or the sum which the estate was worth when let to farm. At page 140 of this volume, the reader will find an inquisition of all the Manors of St. Paul’s in the year 1181 : the resemblance of this inquisition to that of the Exchequer Domesday in respect of the number of hides at which the manors were assessed, or which were in the demesne, will be per- ceived by comparing the inquisition of the manor.of Kenswrtha(Canesworde), with that already presented to the reader. “ Manerium de Keneswrtha de- fendebat se tempore Regis Henrici et Willielmi decani pro x, hidis versus regem, et reddebat vicecomiti xx. s., et adhuc ita est. Canonicis vero reddit xiij. lib. De x. hidis v. fuerunt in dominio et adhuc sunt, in quibus v. hidis continentur xx. virgatae, de quibus et potuit et poterit dominus ponere ad operationem quantum voluerit. De his xx. virgatis sunt in dominio ccc. aerae de terra arabili et in bosco cc. aerae. Est ibi pastura ccc. ovibus. Summa denariorum x . lib. et vii. solid, et 06 .” As in the case of the older inquisition of this manor of Kensworth we drew attention to the term “ valet,” and pointed out some of the reasons for interpreting the term as meaning only annual value, so, with reference to the term “ Summa denari- XX INTRODUCTION. orum ” in this later inquisition, we would observe that, as it occupies the place of the “ valet,” its position alone would lead us to conclude, that the terms are expressive of the same value — that which at one period was ex- pressed by “valet” being afterwards expressed by the “Summa denario- rum.” Now there cannot be any doubt, that the money-values recorded in the Inquisition of 1181 under the head “Summa denariorum” are the values of annual rents ; for, on summing up the rents paid by all the tenants of the manors as set forth in the Inquisition of 1222, the sums received in each manor at both periods so nearly correspond, as to prove the identity of the payments as annual rents. Assuming, then, that in all the surveys of manors, those of the time of the Confessor and of the Conqueror, of Ralph de Diceto in 1181, and of Robert de Watford in 1222, it is the annual value that is recorded under the terms “ valet ” and “ Summa dena- riorum,” the comparison of these values as exhibited in the subjoined table County.

INTRODUCTION. XXI may not be uninteresting, the whole interval of time from the first valuation T. R. E. to that in 1222 occupying a period of about 160 years. In order to account for the variation of value of each manor at the different periods? much more information is required, than we possess. It is, however, to be borne in mind, that the rents represented by the respective sums are not variable annual rents of tenants at will, but the fixed rent payable by tenants of estates descending in the family by hereditary succession. Upon the values at the two earlier periods it is to be remarked, that the contrast between them and those of the two later periods, as not exhibiting any frac- tional payments, clearly intimates estimated or average values rather than actual receipts. And as respects the increase and diminution of rent at any of the periods, it is to be observed, that increase would take place by the conversion of demesne lands into tenants’ lands ; and that the resumption of tenants’ lands by failure of heirs and by forfeiture, by increasing the land in demesne, would cause a diminution of rent. The increase of the “ Summa denariorum” in 1222 above that of 1181 would indicate, either that a larger part of the demesne had been assised in the meantime, or that lands, which had escheated, had been regranted on higher terms. The whole value of all the manors was also greater in the time of the Conqueror than of the Confessor ; but the increase took place chiefly in the county of Essex, the manors in the other counties having fallen in value. It would seem, that the good management of a manor depended much upon the allot- ment of lands in demesne, in the exercise of that right, which the lord of the manor is described as possessing at Kensworth (p. 160), “ponere ad operationem quantum voluerit ” of the five hides in demesne, and to which also reference appears to be made by the jurors at Beauchamp (p. 28), Heybridge (p. 53), Runwell (p. 170), and Nastock (p. 175), in their statements, that the lands of the demesne, the essarts or newly-cleared lands, and other tenements had been let (traditae) with due regard to the interest of the Chapter. Tenants of four ranks or orders occupied the Manors of St. Paul’s at the time of the Exchequer Survey — Villani, Bordarii, Cotarii, Servi, and they were more than five hundred in number. In the Domesday of 1222 only one of these distinctive names is preserved — that of the Cotarii ; but the other three classes appear to be represented by the Tenentes, the Operarii, and the Nativi, the whole number of tenements exceeding thirteen hundred, and indicating a proportionate increase in the population. XXII INTRODUCTION. The fragment of the Inquisition of Ralph de Diceto in 1181 (see page 1 14), affords the means of comparing the number of tenants in the manor of Belchamp in that year, with the numbers at the earlier time of the Domesday Survey, and at the later period of 1222. Twenty-four Villani, ten Bordarii, and five Servi occupied that manor in 1086, in all thirty-nine. A hundred years later there were eighteen Libere tenentes, holding six hundred and sixty-seven acres, with thirty-five tenants of the demesne holding one hundred and fifty-eight acres ; these two classes being fifty- three in number. In the next fifty years the Libere tenentes had increased from eighteen to thirty- four, or nearly double ; but the quantity of land held by them had increased from six hundred and sixty-seven acres to only seven hundred and forty- four. The tenants of the demesne lands had increased from thirty-five to forty-four, and the acreage of the lands from one hundred and fifty- eight to one hundred and eighty acres. The two classes together were in 1086 thirty-four, in 1181 fifty -three, in 1222 seventy-eight. It was necessary, in order to the name of any person being admitted on the Court Roll, that he should be the rightful occupier of land or mes- suage ; and every one so admitted may be considered the head of a house- hold. So many tenements were however held by widows and single women, and the same person so frequently held two or three kinds of tenancies in the same manor, that the number of the households necessarily falls short of the number of the tenements. The causes of the increase in the number of tenancies may be found in the letting to tenants portions of the demesne and of the waste, or woodland, newly brought into cultivation, and denominated “ essarts and it is probable, that from the lands so tenanted the lord of the manor derived an increased annual rent, and additional labour for the demesne. Another source of increase in the number of tenancies was the subdivision of the land according to the law of gavelkind, which, as we learn from Glanville (vii. 2), was applicable to all lands not held by knights or by military tenure ; and which divided the inherit- ance of the Socmen equally among all the sons. (See also Bracton, ii. 34.) But from such divisions of the land the lord derived no increased annual profit. A virgate, or a hide of land, when so divided, does not appear to have been chargeable with any increased rent, or any increased tenant-labour, whilst the number of persons liable to the rent, and to the performance of labour, might increase the difficulty on the part of the lord in exacting his dues, without his having any proportionate advantage. INTRODUCTION. xxiii The manor of Sutton, however, presents a remarkable contrast to the other manors of St. Paul with respect to increase in the number of tenancies at the periods above mentioned. In the Exchequer Domes- day it is recorded that the tenants of this manor consisted of eight Villani, holding each one virgate, seven Villani holding each half a virgate, seven Bordarii with five acres each, sixteen Cotarii, and two Servi — altogether forty persons. The number of tenancies in 1222 appearing but little to exceed the ancient number of forty, has led to a more accurate comparison of the two Surveys, which has been attended by some curious results ; such as these, first that the number of tenants was as nearly as possible forty at both periods ; that at the earlier period eleven and a half virgates, and at the later period twelve virgates, were held first by fifteen and then by eighteen tenants ; that the seven Bordarii with their five acres each are represented by seven Operarii, with the like number of acres ; and that the number of tenants described as holders “ de terra assisa ” in 1222, and chiefly in small quantities, such as the Cotarii generally held, very nearly corresponds to the sixteen Cotarii of the Exchequer Domesday. Such coincidences confirm most strongly the idea that the ancient, as well as the later Domesdays, were compiled from sources of a similar character, and that the ancient Domes- days are, as has been suggested, abbreviated Court Rolls of Manors. The Records of St. Paul’s throw no light upon the meaning of the title Bor- darius ; but, since the use of the word had ceased at the beginning of the thirteenth century, we may conclude, that if any particular duties, other than those performed by the Operarii, had before belonged to them, they had at that time ceased. It is to be remarked, that though there were “ Servi ” on every manor in the earlier times, no distinct mention is made of this class on any of the manors in 1222, though probably the persons described at p. 80 as “ nativi a principio ” in the manor of Navestock belonged to it. Personal slavery, by which is meant the right to sell and transfer the slave to any new owner, does not appear to have been an Anglo-Saxon institution ; it is doubtful, whether a Lord possessed a greater property in the Servus, than is implied in the obligation on the part of the Servus to dwell upon the estate, and not to depart from it without the licence of his Lord. The ordinary prsedial services due from the Tenentes or Villani were not required to be per- formed in person ; and whether in the manor or out of it the Villanus was XXIV INTRODUCTION. not in legal language “ sub potestate domini.” Not so the Nativus ; wherever he was dwelling, he was his Lord’s property, and must return to his Manor, or be pursued as a fugitive slave (Bracton, 1. i. c. 6, 10). As respects praedial service, the Nativi of Nastok were not bound to greater personal labour or to services different from those performed by the Operarii on other manors, yet their tenure was “ bondage ” (“ Johannes Peter nativus tenet in bondagio unum mesuagium,” &c. p. 81), the distinctive mark of that condition being the payment of Havedsot or Chevagium (head money) for licence to go away either to trade or serve on hire. This payment was at Nastock a penny, married couples paying double. A very interesting account of the late continuance of tenure in bondage is to be found in the History of the Manor of Castle Combe,* to which reference has been already made. As the manor of Nastock is distinguished by its “ Nativi,” so is also the manor of Adulvesnasa by two classes of tenants, unknown on the other capitular manors, the “ Akermanni ” and “ Hidarii.” The Akermanni are described at p. 52 as belonging to Walton, Thorp, and Kirkeby with Horlock, being in 1222 three divisions of the great manor of Adulvesnasa, and the survey of the whole manor being taken upon the oaths of three juries, at Thorp, at Kirkeby, and at Walton. It is also to be observed that at Thorp and at Walton, which are distant five miles from each other, there were separate demesnes ; and, as appears from the lease to Richard the Archdeacon (see pp. 130, 131), a courthouse and barns at Walton, and at Thorp a homestead, with a barn, a stackyard, and a house used partly as a barn. These Akermanni were six in number, holding each of them five acres. Their tenure of the land was uncertain ; for it is dis- tinctly said that the Lord could take them into his own hand whenever he pleased — “ dominus potest capere in manu sua cum vult and yet it is doubtful, whether by such an act the Lord could have entirely annihi- lated the rights of the Akerman’s heir ; some limitation to the consequence of this seizure being apparently implied in the qualifying expression — “ sine injuriis hereditariae successionis.” It is possible, that these six Akermanni were the representatives of those Servi, of whom it is said in the Exche- quer Domesday, that there had always been six of that class at Adulvesnasa, * By G. Poulett Scrope, Esq. 1852. See pages 217, 222. INTRODUCTION. XXV and it is remarkable, that four of them, Rand’ the weaver, Adman the son of Herevicus, Alicia the widow of Jordan, and the brothers Walter and Edmund, held other lands in other capacities (see pages 30, 44, 49, 51), and that the occupations of the remaining two, Sagar the shipman, and Johannes the merchant, are quite compatible with the condition of the Nativi as already described, who holding “ in bondagio ” could, under certain penalties or payments, remove from the manor, and carry on trade, or serve on hire elsewhere. The Inquisition of the Manor of Adulvesnasa (see pp. 38-52) differs from those of the other manors of St. Paul’s, in having each hide sepa- rately described, as held by its tenants in different proportions, the number of hides thus described being nineteen and a-half, and the tenants being denominated Hidarii. The hide was not divided amongst its tenants equally, nor was the number of tenants on each hide the same ; the first hide (see page 41) was divided among four tenants, the second among nine, the third among ten, and the fourth among eight ; the remaining hides exhibiting the like variety, both as to the number of tenants, and the quantity of the land held by each, within the hide. Portions of separate hides were in several instances held by the same person. So peculiar a division of the land, and so distinct an appellation, might appear to indicate some peculiar privilege. There is however no ground for such a supposi- tion ; for if we compare the services due from the Plidarii, as detailed in pages 42 and 47, with those of the Libere tenentes on other manors, it will be evident, that the Hidarii of Adulvesnasa belonged to the ordinary class of Villani, their distinction being probably only this, that they were jointly, as well as severally, bound to perform the services due from the hide, of which they held part. We have before observed, that in the Exchequer Domesday the tenants of the Manors of St. Paul’s are enumerated as belonging to four classes : — Villani, Bordarii, Cotarii, and Servi. In the Capitular Survey of these manors in 1222, we find no such distinct classification, nor is there any uniform system in the description of the tenants or their tenancies. The following list exhibits nearly all the varieties of description. 1. Libere tenentes. 2. Tenentes antiquum tenementum. 3. Tenentes de purpresturis. 4. Tenentes sexacras. 5. Tenentes dimidias virgatas. 6. Tenentes Lodland. 7. Tenentes de dominico. 8. Tenentes de do- CAMD. SOC. e XXY1 INTRODUCTION. irrinico ecclesiae. 9. Tenentes per Vilenagium. 10. Tenentes terras operarias. 11. Tenentes de terra assisa. 12. Tenentes de essartis. 13. Tenentes et ad censum et ad denarium. 14. Feffati de pasturis. 15. Debentes wardpenny. 16. Debentes landgablum. 17. Hidarii. 18. Akermanni. 19. Cotarii. The ancient names, that of the Cotarii excepted, had, as it appears, fallen into desuetude; the relations, how- ever, in which the services and persons of the Libere tenentes, the Tenentes terras operarias, and the Nativi, stood with respect to each other, and to the Lord of the manor, are so distinctly marked, as to leave but little doubt, that in those three classes we have the representatives of the Villani, Bordarii, and Servi of the earlier age, under titles of a higher order, and which less plainly indicated the servile character of the services which were due : to be a Tenant of any class was probably a designation more agreeable than that of a Villain ; to hold land “ ad operationem,” and by the tenancy of labour, and to be an Operarius, might be an appellation, as superior to that of Bor- darius, as that of Nativus manifestly is to that of Servus or Slave. Under the Manorial system all the tenants performed prsedial services ; but the higher was the rank of the tenant, the fewer services were due. It would seem, that the lord of a manor had originally the right to the assistance of all his tenants in cultivating the Demesne, and gathering in the produce at the Precariae or Boon days, being the three seasons, — of harvest, and of the autumnal and lenten ploughing and sowing. The Canons of St. Paul’s, who, as is shewn in the Exchequer Domesday, held the Manor of Barnes, as part of the Archiepiscopal Manor of Mortlake, were bound either by themselves or their iirmarius to plough four acres of the Archbishop’s land and to find men to attend one Precaria (see page 103), whilst their own Tenants on that Manor performed for them similar services. In different manors of St. Paul’s the services due on these days were in some degree varied. At Kensworth the service of reaping and ploughing was limited to two days, at each of the three seasons ; and if the second day’s service was demanded, the labourer’s food was furnished by the lord. At Sandon and at Beauchamp the lord’s right was limited to one day, and he found food. At Wickam, the service appears to have been limited to digging the ground for the crop of flax, gathering it, and steep- ing it, and carrying it home ; and also to the furnishing one man from each house for three holidays to collect nuts. At Kirkeby some other services, INTRODUCTION. XXV11 including that of thrashing seed corn, and supplying carriage, were re- quired. At Heybridge the “ Libere tenentes ” assisted in carrying the corn to St. Paul’s. It will be seen, that the extent of the ploughing, or reaping, or of cartage, due at the Boon days, is defined in the Survey of 1222, with some slight differences on different manors ; but, since it is evident that the highest classes of tenants did not perform praedial services at any other periods of the year than those of the Precariae or Boon days, and that not even the “ Libere tenentes ” were exempt from them, we conclude that all the tenants who performed only these services were of the first class, though not distinctly so designated, and that they are the representatives of that order of tenants who were at the Conquest called “ Villani.” With respect to the tenants of the manors who were inferior to the “ Libere tenentes,” viz. the Operarii and Cotarii, the Inquisitions of St. Paul’s supply the fullest proof, that the distinctive character of their services consisted in the obligation to perform praedial labour upon the demesne lands, not only at the Boon days, but during every week of the year, the holiday weeks at Christmas, Easter, and Pentecost excepted. The name by which this class of tenants was in some cases distinguished from the “ Libere tenentes,” was that of “ Custumarii.” The customs of the different manors were not uniform as respects these tenants ; but generally their weekly labour varied according to the period of the year, being the least from Michaelmas to Pentecost, after that increasing from Pentecost to the feast of St. Peter ad Vincula (Aug. 1), and being greatest from that time till Michaelmas. At San don, during these periods, the Operarii upon each half- virgate supplied labour for two, four, and five days. At Kadendon the Cotarii laboured thrice a w r eek from Michaelmas to August, and from that period every day but Saturday ; but at Ardley their labour was limited to Monday, and to the services of carrying, and driving swine to London. We observe, in conclusion, that although we have failed, either to discover the exact differ- ence between the Cotarii and other Operarii, or to explain the meaning of the title Bordarius, it has yet been shown, that the Operarii and Cotarii were subject to demands of labour and other payments, on the part of the lord, far greater than those due from the tenants of the higher classes ; and there being no evidence of their being compelled to perform those services in person, or of their being forbidden to live away from the manor, it follows, that they occupied the middle rank between the 44 Libere tenentes,” whose XXV111 INTRODUCTION. services were occasional, and those of the Servi or Nativi, who could never leave the soil without the license of the lord. Praedial service, or, as it might be termed, “ agricultural labour,” was the tenure, under which lands were generally held of the lords of manors at the beginning of the thirteenth century ; if land were held by payment of money alone, there is very frequently direct evidence of the payment being a composition in lieu of service. It becomes an interesting subject of inquiry, in what age this kind of agricultural society had its origin, whether it was of the Anglo-Norman or the Anglo-Saxon period. Upon this point, scanty as is the information we obtain from the Exchequer Domesday, com - pared with the voluminous character of that record, the instances which there occur of prsedial tenures are sufficiently numerous, even though unsup- ported by other evidence, to justify the conclusion, that they existed, as parts of the manorial system, prior to the time of the Confessor. It must be admitted, that this notice of praedial tenures is confined to a few counties, Gloucester, Hereford, Worcester, and Chester; but since the general description of the tenantry of those counties is in perfect accordance with that of the rest of England, Homines, Villani, Bordarii, Cotarii, and Servi existing everywhere, there is ample ground for the conjecture, that services, such as were performed by tenants in those counties, were also due from tenants of the same class elsewhere. In the Exchequer Survey of the County of Gloucester (fol. 163, 166), we find a class of “ Liberi homines,” with the peculiar appellation Radche- nistri, who ploughed and harrowed at the court of the lord. The most remarkable notice of them is that in the Survey of the Manor of Der- heste, part of the possessions of St. Peter’s Westminster. “ De terra hujus manerii tenebant Radchen 1 , id est, liberi homines, tempore Regis Edwardi, qui tamen omnes ad opus domini arabant et herciabant et falcabant et metebant.” There were twelve or more tenants of this order holding as much as one and two hides each. In the Survey of the Manor of Che- mesege, in the County of Worcester, (fol. 172 b,) an exemption from that praedial service which consisted in attendance upon the Precariae or Boon days, seems to be implied in the words “ excepto rustico opere, sicut deprecari poterat a praeposito obligation to this service being on the other hand implied in a corresponding phrase (fol. 174a): “Deserviebant sicut ab episcopo deprecari poterant.” The tenants of the lands of St. Peter’s West- INTRODUCTION. XXIX minster, in Worcestershire, performed the following services (fol. 174 b) : — At Brigstelmistune the Villani and Bordarii ploughed and sowed six acres with their own seed ; at Aichintune six Coliberti performed the like services upon twelve acres, and two tenants, Dunning and Brictrie — one holding four, the other three, hides of land, mowed in the lord’s meadows, by custom, one day. At Longedune, in the time of the Confessor, nine “ Liberi homines,” who held eighteen hides of lands, mowed in the meadows one day, and did service as they were enjoined. The “Radmani” (probably the Radchenistri) performed the same service at Poiwic ; the phrase “ serviebant sicut alii liberi homines ” occurs also several times. To the manor of Wicelbold (fol. 176 b), which belonged to Earl Godwin, there were attached thirteen burgesses in Wick, “ Secantes duobus diebus in Augusto et Marcio et servientes curiae.” The account of the number of acres ploughed and sown with their own wheat by the tenants of the Royal Manor of Leominster, in the County of Hereford, (fol. 179,) is remarkable, as being a double return, not only as is customary of the number of tenants of all classes at the two periods, the time of the Confessor and of the Conqueror, but also of the number of acres sown at both periods, being at the earlier 140, and at the later period 125 acres. There were also twenty-five hides of land which, T. R. E., were appendant to that manor, but which, T. R. W., had been apportioned amongst twelve or more Norman chiefs, who were tenants in capite. The rents which were payable for these lands to the Manor of Leominster, T. R, E., are enumerated (fol. 180 b). There is some little obscurity in the terms of the return, which makes it doubtful whether these rents continued to be paid ; but it would seem that, whether the ancient services were then rendered or not, there had been an obliga- tion upon the tenants to perform work for two days. The last and most interesting account which we have to produce from the Exchequer Survey (fol. 269 b), in illustration of the early existence of preedial services, similar to those of later times, is one which relates to a large tract of country lying between the Ribble and the Mersey, comprising five hundreds, Derby, Newton, Walintune, Blackburn, and Layland, which contained 188 manors, but which were estimated to hidage at no more than ninety-nine hides, the Royal Manors being those which gave the names to the hundreds. More than thirty Thanes held manors within the Royal Manor of Derby. The customs upon which they were held are fully enumerated, the particular XXX INTRODUCTION. custom which elucidates our present inquiry being this, that every thane was bound, on one day in August, to send his reapers to cut the crops of the King, In the Hundred and Manor of Newton the free men (liberi homines) had the same customs as the men of Derby ; but the labour service was greater, being two days’ reaping in the Royal farms (culturis) instead of one. Salford and Layland lay at the greatest distance ; and it is specially recorded of the men of those manors, that their “ consuetudines ” were the same with those of Derby, &c., with this exception, that they did not perform work " ad aulam Regis,” nor reap in the month of August. The whole contents of the Boldon Book, or Survey of the Manors of the Bishoprick of Durham, in 1 182, published in the Appendix to Domesday,* might be quoted in proof of praedial services performed in the north of England most closely resembling those of the south in 1222 ; and when it is considered how remote the dioceses of Durham and London are from each other, there seems no other method of accounting for such a similarity in the occupation of land and the relations of tenants to their lords, except on the supposition of a common origin, in some fundamental principle of law, antecedent possibly by centuries to the time when we first find mention of them, as legal rights and legal duties. The inference to be drawn from this comparison of the praedial services, due in the thirteenth century from tenants of manors, with the services recorded in the Exchequer Domesday, is scarcely of less extent than this ; that the social condition of England, as respects the relation between land- lord and tenant, which we find exemplified in the manorial history of the thirteenth century, is of Anglo-Saxon character and origin ; and that the Norman Conquest, in creating a number of powerful barons, and depressing the Anglo-Saxon thanes, did not alter the relation between the owner and the occupier of the soil, which had existed for several centuries. Nor does this conclusion rest upon the Exchequer Domesday alone. In the “ Ancient Laws and Institutes of England ” there is a remarkable document, entitled, u Rectitudines Singularum Personarum,” which presents to us an enumeration of the several classes of persons employed on a domain, of the services to be rendered by each, and of the reciprocal duty of the lord to those engaged on his land. The place assigned to it by the learned Editor is betweeen the laws of Cnut and those of Edward the Con- * Yol. I. p. 431. INTRODUCTION. XXXI fessor. Many of the usages therein mentioned are not perfectly under- stood ; but the general character of the services described in the Recti- tudines,” so closely corresponds with the services which the St. Paul’s Domesday states to be due from different classes of the tenantry, as to render it almost certain, that the “ Rectitudines ” represent only an older form of the same national institutions, the character of which, as afterwards modified, is so plainly described in the records of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The first part of this document relates to four classes of persons, and treats of Thanes law, Geneates right, Cotsetlan right, and Gebures right ; the services of the three latter classes being all prsedial, and being distin- guished from each other either as occasional, or as being continued throughout the whole year, on one or more days of the week. The Geneate, the Kotsetle, and the Gebur, appear to represent the Villani, Cotarii, and Bordarii of the Exchequer Domesday, though placed in a different order of precedence. In the list of services due from the Geneate or Villanus, there are many which are not found in the Records of the St. Paul’s manors to be due from the Liberi homines, whom we considered to be identified with the Villani of Domesday ; and yet, when the Geneate is said to be bound “averiare,” “summagium ducere,” “metere et falcare,” “stabili- tatem observare,” “ edificare et circumsepire,” just as the Hidarius of Hor- lock was bound, “ falcare unam aeram prati,” “ metere in autumno iii. aeras,” &c. “ invenire in autumno iii. carros,” “ portare clausuram de parco et claudere vi. perticatas circa curiam,” “ facere bovariam ad suum cibum proprium,” “ de maireno domini, quod scindent et parabunt et caria- bunt, innovare granarium,” the resemblance is so striking as to leave little doubt of the identity of the two classes from whom the same services were due. The accuracy of the conclusion is still more apparent, when the services of the “ Geneate,” which were occasional, are contrasted with the daily services throughout the year, described in the Rectitudines as due from the two inferior classes, the Cotsetles and the Geburi. The Cotsetle worked for his lord every Monday ; in some places his labour in the month of August was limited to three days, but in others it extended to the whole month, and it was his privilege to hold five acres of land, more or less, according to the custom of the place. The Gebur’s service was more ex- tensive ; he never worked less than two days in the week, and that through- out the whole year, and in addition to this service he had payments to make XXX11 INTRODUCTION. of various kinds ; these services being the counterpart of those of the tenants of Ardley (p. 27), who laboured every Monday (and whp at Castle Combe were termed Monday men), of the Operarii at Sandon (p. 18), who held five acres, and of the other tenants upon all the manors of St. Paul’s who were bound to constant weekly service. The Gebur and the Geneate existed as distinct orders at so early a period as the reign of Ina (Laws 6, 19, 22) ; that the prsedial services, described in the “ Rectitudines ” as due from them, were of as great antiquity as the orders themselves, is probable from the repeated mention in the “ Rectitudines ” of the great variety of the services, dependant upon local custom ; and which may be attributed to the progress of time modifying the customs, as well as to differences existing in a remote age. We conclude with remarking, that, if prior to the Conquest not onlv the duties of the labouring classes, but, as appears in the “ Rectitu- dines,” the Thanes’ law also, was well defined, and yet so varied, that from different lands the King could demand greater services, it becomes further probable, that in an age in which personal and praedial rights were described, the names of those, from whom they were due, were described also ; and although we may be disinclined to give credit to the statement of Ingulfus, that Alfred caused the divisions of his kingdom to be enrolled in a book resembling the Exchequer Domesday, we may yet be willing to accept the references, which are made in the tC Liber Evidentiarum Monast. S. Augustini Cantuariensis ’’ (Bibl. Arundel, 310) in four separate instances, to a Domesday of Saint Edward, as indicating, that the survey of the Conqueror had its precedent in the previous age, and, as w T ould appear from the Exchequer Domesday itself, that the jurors of the hundreds performed a work in making their returns, which was not altogether new to them.* Manorial property was a possession differing in many respects from what is now called landed estate. It was not a breadth of land, which the lord might cultivate or not as he pleased, suffer it to be inhabited, or reduce it to solitude and waste ; but it was a dominion or empire, within which the lord was the superior over subjects of different ranks, his power over them not being absolute, but limited by law and custom. The lord of a manor, who had received by grant from the crown, saca and soca, tol and team, &c., was not merely a proprietor, but a prince; and his courts were not only * See Gentleman’s Magazine, April, 1852, p, 369. INTRODUCTION. XXX111 courts of law, but frequently of criminal justice. The demesne, the assised, and the waste lands were his ; but the usufruct of the assised lands belonged, on conditions, to the tenants, and the waste lands were not so entirely his, that he could exclude the tenants from the use of them. It was this double capacity, in which the lord stood to his tenants, as the arbiter of their rights, as well as the owner of the land, which rendered it necessary to the due discharge of the duty of his station, that the lord of a manor should be such a person as Fleta describes, Book II. cap. 71 , § 2, “ Truthful in his words, faithful in his actions, a lover of justice and of God, a hater of fraud and wrong ; since it most concerns him not to act with violence, or according to his own will, but to follow advice, not being guided by some young hanger on, some jester or flatterer, but by the opinion of persons learned in the law, men faithful and honest, and of much experience.” Manors were petty royalties; the court and household of the lord re- sembling in some degree that of the King. In Fleta (II. § 2-18) an account is given of the officers of the royal household, the Senescallus Hospitii Regis, who held his court in the palace ; the Marescallus, the Camerarius, the Clericus coquinae, and Clericus panetarii ; but in the latter part of the book, which treats of the management of manors, we find the lord of the manor attended by the Senescallus, who held his courts, by the Marescallus, who had the charge of his stud, and by the Coquus, who rendered an account of the daily expenditure to the Senescallus. Regarded as landed estate, the manorial possessions of the Sovereign did not differ from those of his subjects ; the profits, which were derived to the Crown from the manors, which formed the Terra Regis in the various counties, did not differ from those which the Barons or Bishops, or the Canons of St. Paul’s derived from the manors in their hands. We have a proof of the correctness of this statement in the fact, that the Extenta Maneriorum,”* which contains the Articles of Inquiry made by the officers of the Exchequer into the condition and value of the royal manors, is the counterpart, both of the Articles of Inquiry which Fleta recommends every lord of a manor to use for his own information, and also of those which are to be found in this volume (p. 133), as the Articuli Visitationis Maneriorum, exhibited by the Chapter of St. Paul’s to their tenants in the year 1290. Whether a manor was held by a sovereign or by a subject, there was the same need of subor* * Statutes of the Realm, vol. I. p. 242. CAMD. SOC. / XXXIV INTRODUCTION. dinate agents to take charge of the territory, to cultivate the demesne, to exact the rents and services of the tenants, to gather in the produce, to transport it to the palace of the sovereign, or the chief residence of the lord, and to render an account of expenditure and receipt ; and it must be evident, that if the manors of any of the nobility approached in number to the manors of the crown, the number of their officers must have approached in number to the officers of the Exchequer. As respects the royal manors, the Ballivus of the hundred appears to have accounted to the Vicecomes of the county, who rendered his account to the Treasurer and Barons of the Exchequer, a court which had the power to compel any of the debtors of the Crown to render a just account. The statute law however authorised the lords of manors to constitute for themselves a court, with powers over their debtors or officers of account scarcely less than those of the Exchequer. By sec. xxiii. of the Provisiones of Hen. III., repeated in the Statutes of Marlborough 52 Hen. III. sec. xxiii., and strengthened by the Statutes of the Exchequer,* power was given to lords of manors to assign to their sergeants, bailiffs, chamberlains, and other receivers, Auditors of accounts, which Auditors could commit to jail any person, certified by them to be in arrear as to their account, there to remain in irons, at their own cost, until they had fully satisfied their lords in respect of their arrears. For the management of the legal business of a manor, the collection of the revenue, and the cultivation of the demesne, the lord required three officers, the Senescallus, the Ballivus, and the Praepositus. The Senescallus (who is represented in modern times by the Steward of courts) is described in Fleta ii. 72, as the Senescallus Communis because, as it appears, the several manors, which belonged to his lord, were all com- mitted to his care, though it was not expected, that he should always per- form his duty in person, nor oftener than was requisite for him to become fully acquainted with the manors. The person proper to be appointed to this office was one, who, having all the moral qualities of faithfulness, * Statutes of the Realm, vol. I. pp. 11, 24, 197. f In a book of St. Paul’s, marked D, no longer extant, but of which a table of con- tents is given in Dean Lyseux’s Catalogue, a.d. 1447, there was this entry : — “ Item de officio et exhibitione Communis Servientis, et quod ipse debet exercere jurisdictionem temporalem Decani et Capituli.” INTRODUCTION. XXXV sobriety, and discretion, was well acquainted with the law and customs of the country (provincia) and with the nature of his office, in order to main- taining the rights of his lord, and instructing the under bailiffs in all their errors and doubts. It was his duty to hold the manorial courts, and generally to be acquainted with every particular relative to the manor, its extent, its cultivation, the number of teams and the condition of the stock, the conduct and behaviour of the bailiffs, the fines, amercements, reliefs, heriots, offerings, and sales, and the persons who have received such monies — and so also of wardships and maritagia — and of injuries or death happen- ing to the stock. He received also the account of the daily expen- diture from the various officers of the household, but no money of any kind belonging to the lord came into his own hands. He was the legal adviser of his lord, the judge of his court, the guardian of his rights, and the person who was acquainted with every particular, as to the possessions and duties of every one connected with the management or cultivation of the manor. There were no rights or duties of which the Court of Exche- quer took cognisance on the part of the King, of which, on a smaller scale, the Senescallus had not also cognisance on the part of the lord, the tenants of the manor standing in a relation to the lord, analogous to that in which tenants in capite and others stood to the Crown. Next in order to the Senescallus stood the Ballivus That he was an officer of authority may be gathered from the mention made of him at Barling (p. 66), as directing the labour of one of the operarii ; and at Nastok (p. 75) as surveying the windfall timber. He is also described (at p. 86) as the Ballivus manerii, who attended at the hundred court twice in the year to perform service for the manor of Chingford ; and it is also probable, that he is the officer, who as Serviens or Bedellus curiae directed the application of the labour of the tenants on the same manor (p. 86 and 89). But for the fuller account of his duties we must again refer to Fleta (c. 73), from whom we learn, that though generally charged with the cultiva- tion of the lands of the demesne, his chief labour and responsibility consisted in a diligent superintendence and inspection of the works of ploughing, mowing, reaping, carrying, & c. which were due from the tenants, and to be performed by them ; in taking care to summon all the teams, and to prevent their casting off, before they had performed their day’s work, to measure the work done, and to ascertain whether it was good. Upon the Ballivus XXXVI INTRODUCTION. lay the duty, not only of ploughing the lands by the labour of the tenants, but also of getting in the seed; and the task was one, which manifestly required the utmost vigilance, when they who ploughed the lands, and provided to a great extent the seed required, were not paid for their labour, and had no interest in ploughing and sowing lands to increase the profit of the lord at their expense. If the Ballivus had power to exact the labour, he had also every opportunity to harass the tenants in the discharge of his office ; and therefore Fleta includes amongst the qualifications of the Balli- vus not only truthfulness, diligence, fidelity, and knowledge of the ordinary laws pertaining to his office, but also “ quod sit ita justus, quod ob vin- dictam vel cupiditatem non quaerat versus tenentes Domini, vel aliquos sibi subditos, occasiones injustas, per quas destrui (destringi ?) deberent seu graviter amerciari.” In the lists of the jurors prefixed to the Inquisitions of the Manors of St. Paul’s in 1222 we find frequent mention of the Praepositus, at Kadendon, Sandun, Chingeford, Sutton, and Bernes. From the Survey of 1279 we learn, that certain of the tenants were compellable to accept this office ; that it was an annual office ; and that whilst performing its duties the tenant was exonerated from other services ; and from Fleta, (c. 76) that the Praepositus was elected by the Villata, presented to the lord, or to his steward, and by him invested without delay in the office. FI is duties were supplementary to those of the Ballivus ; he shared with him in exacting the services of the teams, and getting in the seed; but besides this he had the care of the manure of the farmyard, and the spreading it upon the land ; and to see that those, whose duty it was to cart the manure, performed each day the labour which was due. Besides other duties, he had the superintendence of the cattle, the horses, oxen, and cows, and also of the buildings and dead stock of the manor. We might, perhaps, term him the “ foreman ” of the labourers ; and, as elected by the villata, the protector of his fellows, in that he adjusted or settled, in conjunction with the Ballivus, the amount of labour to be exacted from the tenants, or to be compounded for in money ; for we read in Fleta (c. 72) that it was the duty of the Praepositus every week to calculate with the Bailiff the customs (consuetudines) of the week, and keep a tally of the days’ works, that so the arrears of the days’ works might be ascertained, and, being converted into money -payment, the revenue of the INTRODUCTION. XXXV11 lord might be increased. The Praepositus had also charge of the granary, to deliver by tallies corn to be baked, and malt to be brewed, and the bran and pollard to be used in making bread for the domestics, and in feeding the teams and the dogs It would be foreign to the purpose of this Preface, to exhibit more fully the description given by Fleta of the internal condition of a manor, and the method of its cultivation ; enough, however, may have been adduced to explain the relation, in which the tenants of manors stood to their lords, as cultivators of the demesne lands, and to show, how intricate must have been the system of account between the lord and the tenants, with lands minutely divided amongst a perpetually-varying tenantry ; and also how dependent the lords were, upon the faithfulness of their Senescalli, Ballivi, and Praepositi. It appears then, that a Manor was both a Seignory and also a Farm; a Seignory, as respected the occupiers of the lands held by the payment of services, rents, reliefs, and heriots ; and a Farm, as respected the demesne lands ; the Senescallus, or Steward, being the representative of the lord and the judge of the manorial courts ; and the Ballivus being the officer, who exacted the services due from the tenants for the cultivation of the demesne. In the case of a lord possessing only a single manor, it is obvious that, though he was the chief of many tenants, his wealth consisted only in the produce of a portion of the land, and the annual or occasional payments of the tenants ; and if we might suppose that, in the earlier division of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms into manors, each manor had its separate lord, the lords, as a body, would have been scarcely so wealthy as the ordinary class of country gentlemen of our time. Such, we may gather from the Exchequer Domesday, were the Thanes of the time of the Confessor, whose lands and manors were conferred by the score and the hundred upon the Norman chiefs, whom William brought with him into England, and who formed a Baronial nobility, fewer by far in number than the Anglo-Saxon Thanes, but greatly exceeding that of the Anglo-Saxon Earls. The Norman lord, on becoming the owner of fifty manors and dispossessing the fifty thanes, does not appear to have altered the character and relation of the tenants ; the Villani and Bordarii and Cotarii and Servi remained in the same position, transferring to the use of one chief lord the services and customs before paid to the several owners, who had been dispossessed. It has been before observed, that manorial property, whether belonging xxxvm INTRODUCTION. to secular persons or to ecclesiastical bodies, was identical in its character, as regarded the rights of the lord, the services of the tenants, and the general method of culture. The lords of manors, whether laymen or clergymen, were equally dependent upon the seasons, for the extent of their crops and the realization of their incomes. Against this uncertainty the layman, who had no interests to consult, but those of himself and his family, could easily pro- vide ; but not so the dean and canons of a cathedral, who had to furnish a fixed stipend and certain allowances from day to day for a large number of ministers and servants, forming a household of no inconsiderable extent ; the want of maintenance would be at once the disorganisation, if not the dissolution, of the body. It was therefore necessary, that arrangements should be made, for drawing from the estates of the cathedral a permanent income and definite quantities of produce, and by a sacrifice of a portion of the whole value of the estates to secure the remainder as a fixed and constant revenue. For this purpose it appears that, after appropriating certain lands, as prebends, for the support of each of the thirty Canons, the remaining manors of the cathedral were formed into a separate stock, denominated the “ Communa,” the management of which was the joint care of the resident members of the Chapter, as the separate prebends were of each of the Canons. Every manor of the Communa was placed “ ad firmam” in the hands of a “ Firmarius who exercising all the rights, and performing all the duties of the Chapter, as the Lord of the Manor, took to his own use all the profits of the manor which were over and above the “ firmae,” which it was his duty to render, and which consisted of certain money- payments and so many quarters of wheat, oats, and barley. The Firmarius held a beneficial lease. The Anglo-Saxon noun peopne is not “ a farm,” but “ food and the verb jreoj^mian is not to “ farm or cultivate,” but “ to supply with food ; ” and the “ firmarius ” was so termed, not because he cultivated the land, but because he was bound to furnish jzeopne or food of a certain amount for the supply of the cathedral body.* It is probable, that this mode of letting to farm the lands of monasteries and conventual bodies was in existence under the Anglo-Saxon kings ; and * A firma might be rendered either in produce or money, as was the case in the manor of Belchamp (see p. 129), and hence the word firma acquired a secondary sense, and in process of time an estate “farmed” meant only an estate “rented.” (See Spelraan, in voce Firma.) INTRODUCTION. XXXIX that whenever a manor is described in the Exchequer Domesday as “ de victu monachorum,” the term implies, that the manor was in an especial manner a purveyor of food to the monastery. The records of St. Paul’s do not supply us with information upon this subject of an earlier date than the time of Dean Wulman, who was contemporary with Maurice, Bishop of London, who was consecrated in 1085. Lists of the “ firmae,” as furnished by the different manors at two periods, are contained in Book L. ; but that in the “ Statuta Majora ” represents the firmae at the end of the thirteenth century. We have thought it convenient to exhibit the earlier and the later lists in parallel columns, as pointing out not only the specific character of a “ firma ” as food or provision for a household for weeks and days, but also the alteration of the num- ber of the firmae, which in the earlier times were a supply of nearly fifty- three weeks, but afterwards of only forty-five.

This appropriation of the manors of a cathedral to furnish a weekly supply of food, may be considered as an illustration of the notices, which perpetually recur in the Exchequer Domesday, of articles of produce, as well as sums of money, received from manors and counties under the denomination “ firma noctis,” and “ firma diei.” Sir Henry Ellis, in his In- troduction to Domesday, p Ixxii., enumerates thirty-one manors as rendering such firmae to the crown in the time of the Confessor. From the fact that the manors in the counties of Wiltshire, Dorsetshire, and Somersetshire, then subject to the firmae, were not only royal manors, but specially de- scribed as having never paid “geld,” and in some instances its being unknown to the jurors how many hides the manor contained, it may be fairly inferred, that those manors were the inheritance of the Anglo-Saxon kings ; and though from those alone, in the time of the Confessor, produce was supplied equal to the maintenance of the royal household for only a few nights or days, it is probable that in still more ancient times the like provision was made for the whole year, according to the practice existing a century later in the cathedral of St. Paul. The amount of produce constituting the “firma unius noctis ” is not mentioned ; but the sum paid by the county of Oxford, as a “ firma ” for three nights, was one hundred and fifty pounds. And though, at first sight, the expenditure of so large a sum as fifty pounds (equal in weight to 150£. of our present silver coinage, and in value to ten or twelve times that sum) in a single night, would be scarcely credible ; still, upon supposition, that these were the greater “ firmae ” expended at the great festivals, when the King was surrounded by all his earls, and thanes, and bishops, and displayed his hospitality to the Court, and feasted the people of a city or town, the amount would hardly seem excessive, even supposing that the 501. passed at once into the Royal Exchequer, unimpaired by fees and perquisites to the officers. The commutation into money rent of that fixed quantity of the produce of a manor, which was to be rendered in kind, was a process as natural as it was convenient ; and it would appear, that a “ firma” paid in money was at one time distinguished by the term “ firma alba.” It is probable, that many of the manors belonging to the Conqueror paid their rents to the Ex- chequer in money, and not in kind ; and yet the custom of rendering the firmae in kind was still so common, that the author of the “ Liber Niger Scaccarii ” (quoted by Spelman, in voce Firma), relates it, as the tradition of INTRODUCTION. xli his time, that in the primitive condition of the kingdom after the Conquest, provisions, and not gold or silver, were paid to the kings from their lands, out of which distribution was made of necessaries for the daily use of the royal household ; payment from other sources, and for other purposes, being in money. The practice continued during the whole of the reign of William, and down to the time of Henry his son ; the same author stating, that he had been acquainted with persons, who had themselves seen those provisions brought, at fixed times, from the estates of the king to the palace- Rents appear to have been paid in kind to the Chapters, for some time after they ceased to be so paid to the Exchequer. The general un- willingness of churchmen to admit of change, would be of itself sufficient to account for the continuance of a system of payment, after it had fallen else- where into desuetude ; even had there not been found in the cathedral body a class of persons, namely, the Firmarii, who derived a personal benefit from the ancient system, and whose relation to the Cathedral, as well as the duties incumbent upon them, we shall now describe. The earliest record of a manor belonging to St. Paul's being let to farm relates to the manor of Barnes, which in the year 1108 was leased to two brothers, William and Walbertus, for the term of their lives, for a gift of ten shillings, and at the annual rent of eight pounds and a sextarius of wine. (See p. 127.) A lease of the manor of Cadendon was granted to Baldewin the son of Hugo, one of the canons of the church, prior to the year 1138, Willielmus the Dean, who died in that year, having been a witness to the execution of the lease. (See p. 124.) The leases of Runwell and Adulves- nasa (see page 1*25), the one to Richard the Archdeacon, the other to William of Occhendon, are of as early a date as 1150; but whether this William de Occhendon, as well as one Humfridus Bucvinte, who at that time held a lease of Kensworth (see page 128), were Canons of the Cathedral is uncertain. The Inquisition of 1181 (see p. Ill) records the names of all the Firmarii of the manors at that period, of whom Nicholas de Sigillo, Ricardus Ruffus, Gilbertus, William Archdeacon of Gloucester, and Nicholas Archdeacon of London, were Canons of the Cathedral; but whether Hubertus Archdeacon of Canterbury, who was the Firmarius of Cadendon and Kensworth, Robert de Fulham, William and Theodoric, Odo de Dammartino, Johannes de Ma- regni, and Johannes, who held Wicham, Tillingham, Norton, Nastock, and Bernes respectively to farm, were also Canons, does not appear. The same CAMD. soc. g xlii INTRODUCTION. remark is applicable also to the Firmarii of the manors in 1222, but with this addition, that some relatives of the canons appear to have been lessees, the lease continuing in the same family for more than a single generation. Thus we find William de Burnham holding the Manors of Beauchamp and Adulvesnasa, which had been held by Alardus de Burnham the Dean; and John de d’no Martino held the manor of Norton, which Odo de d’no Mar- tino had before held ; and Johannes de Marinis was in 1181 Firmarius of Nastock, prior to which time Hugo de Marinis was Dean. A century later, in 1315 (the Deanery was then vacant), all the manors were held to farm by the following Canons : — 1. Richard de Neuport, Archdeacon of Middlesex, held two manors, Adulvesnasa and Chingford ; 2. Richard de Gravesend, the Treasurer, held four, Cadendon with Kensworth, Ardeley? and Runwell ; 3. Robert de Clothall, the Chancellor, had Barling; 4. Thomas de Northfleet had Drayton ; 5. Thomas de Cobham had Bernes and Wicham ; 6. Henricus de Saracenis had Sandon with Norton and Tillingham ; 7. Walterus de Thorp had Sutton ; 8. Johannes de Ditton had Beauchamp ; 9. William de Chadelshunt had Nastok ; and 1 0. Robert de Baldock had Heybrigge. It would be foreign to our present subject to explain in detail the labo- rious services during a year of probation, by which Canons of St. Paul’s became Residentiaries ; it will be sufficient to remark, that of the Thirty Canons only a part were Residentiaries, that the number continually varied, that at the Reformation not more than three or four of the Canons qualified themselves for the office, and that during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries the Residentiary Canons, or, as they were also termed, the Stagiarii, were without exception the Firmarii of the Manors. In the year 1283, when the Deanery was vacant by the translation of Thomas de Ingoldes- thorp to the bishoprick of Rochester, Ralph de Baudake, then Archdeacon of Middlesex and Canon of the Church, had the lease of Sutton granted to him, “ ob meritum residentise ;” and there are accounts in later docu- ments of meetings of the Residentiaries upon the death or removal of one of their body, at which each of them, according to their seniority, and “ juxta cursum residentiae,” either chose for himself the lease, or declined to take it, as each of the manors, which had been held by the late member of the Chapter, was submitted to his option. The office of Firmarius was a source of wealth, and was limited to those who were Canons of the INTRODUCTION. xliii Cathedral, the practice of granting manors to farm to other persons than members of the Church having formerly led to inconveniences, and en- dangered the property of the Chapter. In the earlier leases we find the Chapter taking sureties for the performance of the covenants in the lease, and in specific terms guarding against the assumption on the part of the heirs of the lessee of any hereditary right in the manor. The Firmarius on his acceptance of a lease, like the incoming tenant of modern times, had the particulars of the estate described to him, and the con- dition in which it was to be rendered, at the termination of the lease. It must however be borne in mind, that the state of the manors, as respected their cultivation, and the quality and quantity of the stock, was not uniform, and that accordingly there is considerable variety in the covenants of the leases. When possession was given to the Firmarius by some of the canons deputed for that purpose, an inventory was taken of the effects upon the estate and a return made in writing to the Chapter, (p. 130, line 4.) In the Inventory (which always formed part of the lease) a minute de- scription was given of the mansion and its buildings ; the halla or aula, its length and breadth and height, distinguishing the height above the tie-beam from that below it ; the domus between the halla and the thalamus, the height, breadth, and length of each being similarly described, (p. 129, line 2.) A mansion of a different construction contained an aula, camera, and tresantia, et duae privatae domus, (p. 132, line 1.) In another in- stance the hall had on the south “ unum appenditium ” (p 136, line 18); attached to the dwelling-house were the coquina (kitchen), the bracinium (brewery), and the malthouse, the dairy, the henhouse (p. 132), the ba- terissa (washhouse), the porcaria (pigstye), the oxshed, the sheepshed, the lambhouse. (p. 129.) In the inventories of the live stock in the leases of the twelfth century we find oxen valued each at 2s. 4 d. and at 3s. Florses, in one place (p. 122), at 10s., but in others at 3s. (p. 126), and also at 5s., 4s., and 3s. Sheep at 4 d. ; pigs, 5c?., 8c?., and 12c?.; a sow with nine pigs, 19c?.; goats at 4c?. In six plough-teams, five of them having ten oxen and one only eight, the oxen were valued at 3s. each. Besides these, the geese, the cocks, and hens, and capons found a place in the Inventory, as well as the old cat and her young ones (p. 132); nor were the tables and benches, the pots and pans, the xliv INTRODUCTION. leaden troughs, bowls, mills, hatchets, and other implements of the farm- house, omitted. The barns and granges were all carefully enumerated, and the length and breadth and height of them were so accurately de- scribed, that plans of them might be drawn from the description. At Wicham the largest barn was 55 feet long, but at Walton there was one of 160 feet; and, as the barns were received by the Firmarius more or less full of all kinds of grain, he was bound to surrender them in the same state. The lands of the demesne appear generally to have had two parts of them sown with winter and spring corn, the remaining third being fallow; and as the Firmarius found the land sown with wheat, barley, oats, beans, or peas, or in fallow, so he was to render them. At Nastock. (p. 133), the term for which the Firmarius held the lease expired at Michaelmas, on which day he was bound to deliver up the great grange full, on one side of winter and on the other side of spring corn, and all the hay of the year, with the whole of the course in fallow, forty acres of it being twice ploughed (rebinatse), and folded and manured according to his means. The Firmarius, as representing the Chapter, made agreements with the tenants for taking lands to rent, which the Chapter was sometimes bound by the lease to confirm (p. 125); in other cases the previous approval of the Chapter appears to have been necessary, as may be seen in the articles of visitation, (p. 157*.) The Churches or parsonages of the manors were frequently included in the lease. Thus at p. 128 we read “ tradiderunt ei canonici liberam ecclesiam ab omni persona,” without a parson or rector, and in that condition it was to be restored. In the Manor of Adulvesnasa there were three churches, at Walton, Kirkby, and Thorp ; and it was the con- dition, upon which Richard the Archdeacon of Middlesex held them about the year 1150 (see page 132), that he should keep them free in his own hand, without appointing any parson to any of them, so that on the sur- render of the manor into the hands of the Chapter, the churches should be found without any parson appointed to them. In this way the Firmarius of the early periods held both the manor and the church to farm ; a practice strongly denounced in the prologue to the inquisition of the churches belonging to the manors in 1181 (see INTRODUCTION. xlv page 146); but as it appears, rather for the sake of preventing temporal and spiritual dues from being confounded, to the diminution of the latter, than with the intention of securing the revenues to the officiating clergy. The Dean and Chapter kept the parsonages in their own hands, but as is stated, they would appoint a vicar ; for whose support, if the altarage alone was sufficient, with that he was to be content; if it was insufficient, some decent addition was to be made at will out of the tithes. All other profits of the church, as well as the greater tithes, were to be reserved for the Canons, or be let to farm to the chaplains or clerks at an annual rent. That lords of manors, being members of a cathedral, should appropriate to the use of their body the tithes of their lands, may not seem so much out of course ; there is reason however to believe, that the lords of manors in general, of that age, were not satisfied with the simple right of advowson, and the privilege of nominating a clerk to the church ; and the numerous instances, which occur in the Exchequer Domesday, of churches, and even parts of churches, valued with the manors, especially in the county of Norfolk, seem to indicate, that the revenues of the Church, as well as the right of presentation, were in some manner divided to the advantage of the lords. It appears from the inquisition of 1181 (pages 140 — 152), that the Canons of St. Paul’s derived a revenue from nearly all the churches of their manors, and that it was paid either directly to themselves by some Clericus, to whom they were entrusted, or to their Firmarius. Thus Cadendon paid to the canons 20,?. by the hands of Rodbert and Rodbert, clerks ; Kens- worth 20^. by Augustine the Clerk ; Ardeleia was held by Hamo Clericus, and paid three marks and a half ; Willesdon paid eight marks, by Germanus the Clerk ; Tidwoldintun paid 205. by the hands of Hugo de London. Other Churches paid as follows : Sandon, which in the time of King Henry was not in the firma of the manor, and rendered nothing, paid five marks to the canons by the hands of Richard the Canon, the Firmarius ; Tilling- ham one mark, by the Firmarius ; Barling 205. ; Nastock 6O5., Drayton 135. 4c?., Sutton IO5., in the same manner. The Firmarius derived a reve- nue to himself from the following churches ; From Waleton 205., from Thorp 205. Only three of the Churches had a “ Persona,” namely, Belchamp, xlvi INTRODUCTION. Wicham, and Run well. But there was a “ Sacerdos ” at Bernes. The parson of Belchamp, however, paid a mark to the Firmarius, and the parson of Wicham two shillings annually to the canons.* The privileges and emoluments of the Firmarii, as the leaseholders of the manors, and representatives of the Chapter, being thus described, we pro- ceed to give an account of the “ firma ” which they rendered. Each ‘ £ firma” at St. Paul’s w T as considered to be the “ firma ” or food for a single week. If a manor rendered several firmae in the course of the year, it was sometimes agreed that the payment should be wholly in money, in which case the “ firma ” was said to be “ in denariis ” ; but the firma generally consisted of produce as well as money. In the leases of the twelfth century we read, that Wicham was leased for life, on the condition of paying in the first year lviiis. iiiic?. and one “ parva firma panis et cervisiae cum viic/. elemosinae,” and in the following year two similar firmae, and with each fifty shillings in money ; the firma to be rendered on the feast of St. Martin and the Nativity of John the Baptist, being Sunday, or on the Sunday preceding. In the lease of Cadendon (p. 124) we read of the “ plenaria firma,” but we have no trace in later documents of the distinction between the 11 plenaria ” and the il parva firma.” In the same lease we find mention of another sum of money, termed “liberatio,” which amounted to 1/. 13s. 4 d.; the full description of a firma being that in the manor of Sandon (p. 134), “ firma, in pane et cervisia, et liberatione, et ele- mosina, et constantiis pistrini et bracini,” the firma in pane et cervisia being produce in grain ; the liberatio, money for wages ; the elemosina, alms to be distributed at the Cathedral ; and the constantiae pistrini et bracini, a payment for wood to be used in the bakehouse and brewery. The reader will bear in mind that this description of the firma is of the early date of 1150 : for the appropriation of the firmae we must refer to the Compotus Maneriorum (p. 153 — 164), which exhibits the number and quality of the firmae, as paid and received at St. Paul’s, at the conclusion of the thirteenth century. In that document we find the payment in produce distinguished from the money payments, the latter described as payments * In the small sums still paid to the Cathedrals by the Incumbents of Parochial Churches, under the denomination of Pensions, we have traces of ownership exercised by the Lords of Manors over the spiritual revenues of the parish. INTRODUCTION. xlvii “ ad denas et ad denum denarium,” and also as a dizenae,”* or as otherwise written “ disanse ; ” the former as “ firmae.” A single dizena amounted to three marks (forty shillings) and seven pence, of which two marks and a half (1?. 13s. 4c?.) was for the liberatio, or money payments for wages, half a mark (6s. 8 c?.) for the constantia pistrini et bracini, i. e. wood for the brewery and bakehouse, and the remaining seven pence for alms. The dizena has been thus divided on the authority of the statement made in pages 155, 156 ; which shews that after deducting the sums, either “ ad defectum bracini,” or “ ad supplementum,” there always remain the two marks and a half, 1 ?. 13s. 4c?. Thus the payment from Beau- champ, 60s. — 1?. 6s. 8c?. = 1?. 13s. 4c?. The payment from Barling, 40s. — 6s. 8c?. = 1?. 13s. 4c?. That the half-mark thus described as paid ad defectum bracini, or ad supplementum, was for wood used in brewing and baking is shown by the statement in p. 160, that with every firma 6s. 8c?- was paid “ ad boscum.” And it is to be remarked, that the pay- ments made by Beauchamp twice in the year, of 1?. 6s. 8c?. each, together four marks, was at the rate of half a mark for each of the eight Sundays, on which payments were due from that manor. We identify the 1?. 13s. 4c?. paid every week to be “ liberatio,” that is, money paid in wages, by an entry in the Statuta Majora, (which states that, according to ancient custom, the following payments had been made weekly to the following persons,) and also by an entry in the inquisition of Nastok (Book I. p. 77), where the 40s. paid by the firmarius is said to be “ ad denas vicariorum.” £ s. d.

Every Sunday in the year, commencing with the festival of St. Faith, on the 6th of October, had its dizena, paid by each manor in regular succession, on more or on fewer Sundays, according to the agreement made with the Firmarius, and the extent of the manor. It is probable, that in the ancient adjustment of the firmae, corn was delivered every week throughout the year ; but at the end of the thirteenth century we find the firmae, which consisted of wheat, barley, and oats, delivered on no more than forty-five Sundays of the year, the delivery of the corn com- mencing at the same time as that of the dizenae, on the festival of St. Faith. The manor, however, which paid the dizena in money on the one Sunday did not pay the firma in produce until the Sunday following, so that for the same Sunday the dizena was paid by one manor, and the firma by another. The forty-five firmae were furnished by thirteen manors. Each firma consisted of sixteen quarters of wheat, sixteen quarters of oats, and three quarters of barley, the whole quantity delivered in the year being 720 quarters of wheat, 720 quarters of oats, and 135 quarters of barley, con- taining, ad mensuram Regis, eight bushels per quarter. In the year 1250, the price of wheat being 4s. per quarter, of barley 2s. 6d. and oats 20e/. the whole value of the corn, and other payments, was estimated at 277/. It only remains, that wes hould give an account of the use which was made of the corn thus delivered, of its conversion into bread and beer, and its division among the members of the Cathedral. On the west side of the street now called Godliman Street stood the bakehouse : it was a large building, and its place is still identified by Paul’s Bakehouse Yard. The brewery probably adjoined it. There was a mill for grinding the corn, worked by horses. There were four servants in the bakehouse, three in the brewery, and two at the mill, besides a clerk of the receipts. The brewery and the bakehouse were under the charge of an officer, the Custos Bracini. In 1283 Thomas de Couling, and in 1286 John de Braynford, held the office : a copy of the Compotus rendered by them in those years, recorded in Book I. will be found at p. 165. From these documents it appears, that in the year 1283 the number of bakings was one hundred and thirty-seven ; they baked at least five times in every fortnight : four quarters of wheat — containing not eight bushels, according to the mensura Regis, but seven bushels, ad mensuram bracini — INTRODUCTION. xlix were ground for each baking. The number of loaves produced was, in the whole year, 40,266, and the average number from each baking 290. We learn from an entry in the first page of Book L., that Ailwardus Rufus, one of the Canons (Archdeacon of Colchester circa 1150), was Custos Bracini and Pistrini, and that in his time the greater loaf of the Canons of St. Paul’s weighed seven marks, one ounce less, the lesser loaf half that weight ; but that» from the third year before the death of King Stephen (in 1154) the greater loaf weighed six marks and a half, the lesser three marks and two ounces. The four loaves therefore, which every Canon then received every day, namely two large and two small, weighed together nineteen marks and a half ; and, the mark being eight ounces, or two-thirds of the pound troy, the whole weight of the bread per day was 1 56 ounces. The loaf of St. Paul’s, the same document informs us, was larger than that of other religious houses. The loaf of the Canons Regular of Holy Trinity, London, weighed three marks six ounces. The same was the weight of the loaf of the Canons of Merton, whilst that of the Canons of St. Bartholomew weighed only two marks one ounce. We notice these facts as indicating that other religious houses received rents in kind, in the same way as St. Paul’s, and that the rents so paid were distributed in a similar manner. The daily distribution of bread to the different members of the cathedral in the year 1283 was as follows : — To each of the thirty Canons three loaves per day ; total in the year . To three of the Minor Canons, to the Chaplain celebrating for the soul of William de Sancta Maria the Dean, and to the Scriptor Librorum Ecclesiae — five per- sons . . . . .

In 1286 there were one hundred brewings in the year. The quantity of grain consumed, consisted of — 175 quarters of barley, 175 do. of wheat, 720 do. of oats. At each brewing there was used — of wheat one quarter and a half and two bushels, at seven bushels to the quarter, = 12| bushels; of barley one quarter and a half, of the same measure, = 1 0| bushels ; and seven quarters of oats, at eight bushels the quarter, = 56 bushels ; the total quantity of grain being 79 bushels, nearly 10 quarters, and the number of bollae, or gallons, produced from each brewing averaging 678. We learn from the Compotus of 1286, that the whole number of bollae brewed was 67,814 ; the distribution being as follows : — Bollae. To the thirty Canons, thirty bollae per week to each . . = 46,800 To five other persons, six bollae per week to each . . = 7,800 (Three Minor Canons, the Chaplain, and the Scriptor Librorum.)

Pollard at 2s. per quarter. Furfur (bran) Is. 4c?. per quarter. Barley, bought at 3s. 6c?. per quarter of seven bushels. The value of the loaf, and of a gallon of beer, were each of them three farthings. We have thus seen in what manner, and for what purposes, the firmarii delivered at the Cathedral the weekly firmse of money and produce, and also the method of its distribution. It appears, however, that the business of the mill, of the brewery, and the bakehouse, upon taking account of the expenses, and making the accustomed deliveries of bread and beer to all the members of the Cathedral in their fixed proportions, left a profit, which was divided amongst the Canons in residence. In 1286 the sum to be divided was 25?. 19s. lc?. In 1283 it was 24?. 6s. 7Jc?. The particulars of the distribution we have thought it convenient to state at full length, not merely as shewing the interest which the Residentiary Canons had in the profits, and in the distribution of the “ Communa,” but the manner in which residence was kept by the canons in the latter part of the thirteenth century. lii INTRODUCTION.

Such was the mode in which the “firmae,” received in kind at St. Paul’s at the end of the thirteenth century, were distributed, and there is reason to believe that, during the greater part of the following century, they con- tinued to be regularly paid, that the work of the bakehouse and the brewery went on without interruption, and that the statutable distributions of bread and beer were made to the members of the Cathedral. The documents, however, of the early part of the fifteenth century contain proof, that the social changes and political disturbances, which were then taking place, affected the Cathedral property, as respected its nature and management. The firmae were no longer regularly distributed, the manors were unable to INTRODUCTION. liii provide the necessary supplies, leases were granted for short periods to other persons than members of the Chapter, and towards the end of the century the firmse ceased, and the rents appear to have been wholly paid in money. It had been provided by the statutes of Ralph de Diceto (who was Dean in 1181), in case of dearth or pestilence occurring in the manors, that the delivery of bread and beer to the non-resident members should un- dergo a reduction of one loaf and one gallon of beer per diem until the return of plenty ; and further, that in case of dearth the firmarii should not be bound to deliver from their manors more wheat, barley, or oats, than they were accustomed to pay; nor was any firmarius required to deliver any corn, but that which was of the growth of the manor, only it must be the best of that which was there grown. It was also ordained, that good beer should be brewed for the Residentiaries, and common beer for other persons. But it would seem that other than natural causes, such as are men- tioned in the statutes of Ralph de Diceto, disturbed in the fourteenth cen- tury the delivery of the firmse ; for during the Episcopate of Simon of Sudbury, who was consecrated Bishop of London in 1361, it was ordained by an injunction, that a fine of 10 s. should be inflicted upon the firmarius, who failed to deliver the firmse within fifteen days of the appointed time, and that if he continued in arrear, his lease should be forfeited, and given to the next expectant Canon. We learn, moreover, from an injunction of Robert Braybrooke, Bishop of London, bearing date 20 Oct. 1401 (in which the injunction of his predecessor, Simon of Sudbury, is recited), that irregularities existed to such an extent, as not only to deprive the non- residents, but also the minor Canons and other members, of their usual allowances. The complaint came before the Bishop at his visitation; a fresh injunction was issued, with the consent of the Dean and the Chapter ; the previous injunction of Simon of Sudbury was renewed, and the deli- very of bread and beer to all the members enjoined according to the ancient custom. The Chapter was further directed to choose one of their own body, in the first week of October in each year, to be the Custos Bracini, and upon him was laid the duty of delivering the bread and beer ; the bread was to be served as before, but in lieu of beer five marks were to be given to every Canon, and to all other persons sums of money propor- liv INTRODUCTION. tioned to their allowance. The observance of this injunction was enforced under peril of the greater excommunication. Causes, however, were in operation, to which we shall presently advert, which rendered even the fear of the greater excommunication ineffective to produce perpetual obedience ; for it is recorded in the Statuta Minora (fol. 102), that on the 20 Oct. 1438, Robert Gilbert, Bishop of London, sate judicially in the Chapter-house, Reginald Kentwoode, the Dean, and John Bermingham, a (solitary) residentiary, being present also; and that there appeared personally thirteen of the non-resident Canons (the names are recorded), who made complaint to the Bishop, that in violation of the ancient customs of the Church and of the episcopal injunctions, from the feast of St. Anne (July 20) last past up to that day, no bread had been delivered, and that the beer had been kept back for more than three years. A conference took place between the Dean and the residentiary on the one part, and three of the Canons on behalf of the non-residents, and a fresh episcopal injunction was given to the Dean to pay to the complainants, before the feast of All Saints, what was due for bread from the feast of St. Anne to Michaelmas, and what was due from Michaelmas to the day of the visitation, before the end of the year. The arrears of payment for beer of the three preceding years were also to be satisfied before the Christmas following. To this injunction Dean Kentwoode and John Ber- mingham, the residentiary, gave their consent, and promised compliance. These incidents are related, not as anecdotes of capitular irregularities, but as clear indications of circumstances having occurred, which had altered the property of the Chapter, and disturbed the ancient arrangements. In the case of the manor of Nastock, it appears that in the year 1403 the rents of that manor had ceased to be in u firmae.” A lease was granted in that year of the manor, the presentation to the vicarage, the tithes and all the appurtenances of the manor, to Laurence Allerthorp, a residentiary, at the annual rent of 40/., of which 18/. 7s. 8 d. represented the ancient firmae of corn delivered to the brewery, and 21/. 12s. 4 d. the value of the manorial rights and the tithes ; the preamble of the lease stating, that the manor was granted on these terms, as well because “ propter insufficientiam suam ad supportationem onerum ab antiquo impositorum eidem sufficere non valebit,” as “ propter alias causas veras ac legitimas tunc assignatas et capitulariter approbatas.” In 1421 a departure was made from the ancient INTRODUCTION. lv practice of limiting the leases to members of the Cathedral, and a lease for five years was granted to Reginald Malyns esquire, of the family of the De Malyns, who were lords of the adjacent village of They don Mount. The rent was only 36?. 13s. 4c?., but the Chapter reserved to themselves, what we should now term the manorial rights, as well as the presentation to the vicarage. In 1425 a similar lease was granted to Roger Passelewe of Chipping Ongar, yeoman, and four others, at the increased rent of 42?.; but in 1429, and to the year 1499, the manor appears to have been once more leased to residentiaries only, at the diminished rent of 33?. 6s. 8c?., of which 11?. 13s. 4c?. instead of 18?. 7s. 8c?. as in 1403, was payable to the brewery ; a clear indication that the agricultural produce of the estate had proportionably diminished in value. It cannot be doubted, that the condition of the landowners throughout the kingdom was materially affected by the wars of the Roses, and that the un- settled condition of the country throughout the greater part of the fifteenth century must have weakened in a great degree the authority of the lord over his tenants, and diminished the number of the tenants, and consequently the value of those prsedial services in which the wealth of the Lord consisted. The decay, however, of praedial service had begun in the previous century ; political disturbances hastened its dissolution, but it would probably have passed away under the influence of causes such as these, namely, commutation of services for fixed money payments, changes in the population, and the progress of commerce and trade, which gradually raised up a class of yeomen, who occupied a middle and independent position between the lord of the manor and his customary tenants. Of the accumulation of land by individuals in the same Manor there are traces in the Records of St. Paul’s at as early a period as 1279. At that time, John Durant, whose ancestor in 1222 possessed only one virgate in Cadendon, appears on the Court Roll as possessing eight or ten tenements at least, which had been formerly held by other persons At Belchamp two tenants of the higher order, the Liberi Homines, the one, Martin de Suthmere, held by himself and his tenants 245 acres of land in the manor, and had twenty- two tenants rendering service to himself ; the other, Robert Lucky n, held in the same manor 89 acres, and had twelve tenants doing him service. It is remarkable also, that the name of the Earl of Oxford appears in the same Inquisition, as holding 17 acres of land in Ivi INTRODUCTION. the manor, and rendering service for them to Martin de Suthmere. It is easy to imagine, that the growth within the manors of such a body of tenantry, having tenants under them, would gradually counterbalance the influence of the lord, especially if he were not resident on the manor. In the most ancient form of the manorial system it is probable, that all the profits of the lords, except the landgafol, which was a money payment, were derived from the labour of the tenants and from the contributions of produce paid in kind ; the demesne lands were ploughed and sown by the tenants, the crops were gathered in, the sheep were sheared, the malt for beer was made, the wood for the supply of the hall was hewn and stacked, the watch and ward of the manor was kept by them. Hens and capons at Christmas and eggs at Easter replenished the larder of the lord. There was scarcely any want which the service of the tenants did not supply for the lord, even to the making hot the water and preparing the bath. (Chingeford, Book I. fol. 63.) In the earlier condition of the manorial households and ma- norial society these burdens might have been cheerfully borne ; but it is most probable, that, as time advanced and society changed, ancient duties became, from various causes, both burdensome to those who performed them, as well as less agreeable to those to whom they were due; and that the lords were as willing to receive maltsilver, woodsilver, schep silver,* lardersilver, and ward- penny, and a halfpenny or a penny in lieu of a day’s labour, as the tenants were to relieve themselves by such payments from the personal performance of the services. That a change might take place in the value of money, and reduce these payments to a nominal value, or that the time might come, when the halfpenny, originally given in lieu of a day’s labour, could no longer purchase it, or that there might be no labourers to be hired, was a thought, which never entered into the minds of men, who had neither per- sonal experience, nor historical knowledge of changes now familiar to the mind of every student of political economy. As property passed, with the consent of the lords, from one person to another, the commutation of services due to the lord into money payments became more frequent, of which the phrase, so constantly occurring, “ pro omni servicio,” is abundant proof. The direction also, which is given in Fleta, ii. 72, to the Praepositus, not only to compute with the Ballivus once a-week what customary labour was due, and to mark on the tally the day’s work * A payment in lieu of watercarriage. INTRODUCTION. lvii performed, but also to look after the arrears of labour, and if possible to receive money in lieu of them for the augmentation of the rent, is a further evidence of the readiness of the landlord to receive money in lieu of labour. It is evident, that the constant progress of a system of commutations would at last leave the lord of the manor in the condition of the landlord of our own times, who must hire but cannot command labour. That the in- convenience of having commuted labour for money was at last sensibly felt by the landed proprietors, appears from the Statute of Labourers, 23 Ed. III. 1349 : prior to which time changes had taken place, which brought into existence a body of persons resembling the labourers of the present day ; men, who labour for their subsistence, but who are free to choose a master and to agree with him for wages. The growth of this class had probably made the landlords more ready to forego the praedial services of their tenants; but when the pestilence of 1349, alluded to in the Statute, had so reduced the number of labourers as to enhance the value of labour, to the great loss of the landed proprietors, recourse was had to the Statute of 1349, and to a series of similar Statutes between that year and 1368, which had the twofold object, first, of compelling every ablebodied man, who was not hired, to hire himself to the master, who should demand his services ; and secondly, of limiting the amount of the wages, which he was to receive. The Manors, the lords of which had commuted the prsedial services of their tenants for money payments, would be those in which the free labourers most abounded, and in which the owner of the land was most de- pendent upon that class, for the means of cultivating the soil ; but when the Statute of Labourers was first enacted, the whole of the country was not as yet in this condition ; there was still a large portion of it, in which the ancient services remained due, but in which, as the growth of wealth had produced a new order of landowners, the performance of Villain services had become odious or inconvenient, and the Villains withdrew the services and customs which were due to their lords. The first indication which the Statutes of the Realm contain of this change in the behaviour of the Villains or cus- tomary tenants, is in the Statute of 1 Richard II. a.d. 1377, from which it appears that the “ Villains, and tenants of land in villainage, withdrew their cus- toms and services from their lords, having attached themselves to other persons, who maintained and abetted them ; and who, under colour of exemplifications CAMD. SOC. i lviii INTRODUCTION. from Domesday of the Manors and Villes in which they dwelt, and by wrong interpretation of those exemplifications, claimed to be quit and discharged of all manner of service, either of their body or of their lands, and would suffer no distress or other course of justice to be taken against them ; the Villains aiding their maintainers, by threatening the officers of their lords with peril to life and limb, as well as by open assemblies and by confede- racies to support each other.” It is manifest, that the persons designated ic the Statute, as Counsellors, Maintainers, and Abettors, were men of statior as well as substance ; the process by which they became connected with the Villains, being, as is expressed in the Statute, “ the taking hire and profit of the Villains and land-tenants.” Reference was made to Domes- day to prove, that the manors to which the Villains belonged were Ancient demesne ; and it is evident from the terms of the petition in the Rolls of Parliament, which preceded the enactment of this Statute, that the Villains were the persons, who took the pains to procure these exemplifications.* The tenants in Ancient demesne had the privilege of freedom from toll in all the markets of the kingdom ^ but some other privileges must have belonged to them, if, under colour of these exemplifications, the Villains could withdraw their services from the lords of other manors. The case was probably this, that the tenant of Ancient demesne could not be pro- ceeded against for subtraction of services, except in the Court of the Manor of Ancient Demesne, and thus he was enabled to set at nought the power of the court of other manors, in which he held land and was liable to service. Manors of Ancient demesne were not always in the hands of the Crown, but as it would appear, were possessed by lords, who were willing to derive pecuniary advantage from selling the privilege of holding in Ancient demesne. The supposition that the immunities of such tenancy were avail- * The desire, however, on the part of the tenants to prove themselves in Ancient demesne was of much earlier date than 1377. The Rotuli Hundredorum of 7 Ed. I. give testimony of unfounded assertions on the part of the Villani of manors, that they held in Ancient demesne. See Yol. II. pp. 843, 844. f It appears also that the tenant in Ancient demesne was exempted from the necessity of taking upon him knighthood for lands so held, for we read in the Statute for respiting Knighthood, ” None by reason of any land that he holdeth in manors which now are Ancient demesne of the Crown, as Sokemen, and which lands must also give talliage when the King’s demesnes are tallied, shall be distrained to take upon him the order of a Knight.” Statutes of the Realm, vol. i. p. 229. INTRODUCTION. lix able against the lords of other manors, and that they might be so obtained, will explain a statement of the Statute of 1 Richard II. above referred to, not otherwise easy to understand, “ that divers people of small revenue of land, rent, or other possessions, did make great retinue des gens , as well of esquires as of others, giving them hats and liveries, but not at their own cost ; the value, or twice the value, being given by those persons ” for the Maintenance so acquired ; and which, as is evident from the ninth section of the same statute, consisted in protection against legal claims upon their lands and tenements, their goods and chattels. The cessation of prsedial service was the result not of one, but of several causes. The exact period of its extinction may not be discoverable, and probably remnants of the system existed at a comparatively late period in particular localities ; but if the same course of events happened in other manors, which took place in the manor of Castle Combe, the commutation of services into rent was effected prior to 1450; the Court Rolls of that manor of the latter period describing all the tenants as payers of rent, and making no mention of the personal labour, which in 1340 had been due. We have now brought our observations to a close : they have occupied a wider range than was originally intended ; but if any fresh light has been thrown upon the nature of Anglo-Saxon society, the condition of England in the centuries succeeding to the Norman Conquest, the original character of manorial tenures, the relations between the owner and the occupier of the soil, as well as upon the management and disposition of Cathedral lands and revenues, the labour occupied in the composition and illustration of this volume will not have been spent in vain ; especially, if the bringing these documents to light should lead to an investigation of the archives of other Cathedrals, and to a closer study of the chartularies and lieger-books of the conventual bodies, which are deposited in our public libraries, or are to be found amongst the records of the Augmentation Office. It is not a matter of mere antiquarian curiosity, what were the laws of Ina or of Alfred, or how society was constituted and justice administered under the Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Norman kings, for we may safely affirm, that without the know- ledge of the principles and practices of those remote ages, the Common lawyer of the present day will often find himself at fault, not merely for the definition of a term or the meaning of a word, but even for a principle, upon which to found an argument, and to decide between conflicting rights and lx INTRODUCTION. duties. Neither is English history limited to the period which has passed since the Reformation, or since the Conquest ; it comprehends the reigns of the Anglo-Saxon kings ; and, as the earlyoccupation of the “ litus Saxonicum ” in our southern counties testifies, it is united with the history of ancient Britain and ancient Rome. From chroniclers and historians we may learn the relation in which England has stood to the nations around us, the intrigues of our nobles, and the vices or virtues of our kings ; but it is in the records, which exhibit to us the means and circumstances under which the mass of the people earned their daily bread ; in the household accounts of the chieftain and the prince ; in the wills of the dead, and in their private litigations and contests, their dealings and bargains when alivie, that we discover our history as a people, and can trace the steps, by which property has been acquired, and has passed from one class to another, from the peasant to the yeoman, and from the lord to the trader and the merchant, and by which England has become what it is — the country of the freest and wealthiest people in Europe. P.S. — In the early part of the foregoing Introduction (p. ix.) an account was given of various Domesday books ; we must be permitted to add to the list another Royal Domesday, not heretofore described under that title, but which forms the largest portion of the Second Volume of the Rotuli Hundredorum, published in 1812. The “ Rotuli” are copies of returns made to Royal Inquisitions at two distinct periods, the third and the seventh years of Edward I. ; but it is to be observed that the inquisitions at the two periods were for different purposes, and the articles exhibited to the jurors wholly different. The object of the earlier inquisition was to ascertain the cases in which the rights and liberties of the Crown had been withdrawn, and in which excesses had been committed by the sheriffs, coroners, escheators, and bailiffs ; the Subject, as well as the Crown, was interested in that inquiry. But the later inquisition produced a perfect Domesday, or record of landed property, in the five counties — Bedford, Buckingham, Cambridge, Huntingdon, and Oxford. Each Hundred had its separate jury, who reported the names of all the landowners and occupiers of land, the quantity of land held by each of them, the rents paid, and the services ren- dered, the tenants of the manors being generally described under four classes — Liberi Tenentes, Villani, Cotarii, and Servi ; but in some places INTRODUCTION. lxi with varied titles, such as Liberi Sokmanni, Custumarii, Consuetudinarii, Operarii, Coterelli, Cotagiarii, Servi, Socomanni, Nativi, Bondagii, &c. The Rotuli of these five counties being abstracts or digests of inquisitions made in the separate Hundreds of each county, contain the materials, from which a document might be compiled, which would resemble the Exchequer Domesday in nearly every particular, but the enumeration of the live stock on the different manors ; and would show, who were Tenants in Capite, the persons who held lands under them, the number of Liberi Tenentes, Villani, Cotarii, and Servi, on each estate, and the sum of the rents paid.

Inquisitio facta. — Nomina Juratorum. — The power of impanel- ling a jury, and exhibiting to them interrogatories relative to the condition of a manor in every particular, appears to have belonged of right to every lord of a manor. See Fleta, ii. 71, sec. 3. The Articles of Inquisition, upon which the Domesday of St. Paul’s, of Ralph de Diceto, in 1181, was founded, are recorded at p. 112 of this volume; those used at a later period are given at length, pp. 150-160, and are found to agree in their general character with the u Extenta Maneriorum” in the Statutes of the Realm (vol. i. p. 292) ; and also with the Articles of Inquisition upon which the returns were made in the 7 and 8 Edw. I. of the condition of the manors in five counties, Bedford, Buckingham, Cambridge, Huntingdon, and Oxford, and which form the latter part of vol. ii. of the Rotuli Hun- dredorum.

Hida. — The hide generally contained 120 acres, i e. four virgates or yard- lands of 30 acres. The number of acres in the hide and virgate was not uniform. At Run well (p. 69), the hide anciently contained only 80 acres. At Nastok (p. 81), it contained 140. The virgate also varied. At Sandon NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS. lxiii it consisted of 60 acres* (I. 145), at Wicham of 24 (I. 97), at Nastok of 20 (p. 81), and at Drayton of 16 (p. 99). The acre consisted of 160 square perches, the perch being 16| feet. There was also a variation in the length of the perch. The “parva pertica” is mentioned at p. 80, and is probably the perch of 16 feet; and at p. 92 we find a perch of 24 feet. It also consisted of 21 or 20 feet ; the latter perch being used in the measure of the quarentena, or fourth of an acre. See Spelman and Du Cange. Defendit se versus Regem pro decem Hidis. — u Satisfies the royal demand for hidage, by paying for ten hides.” The chroniclers relate several in- stances of hidage taken by the Anglo-Norman Kings ; there is, however, reason to believe that it was an annual, as well as an occasional tax, and that it was the excessive amount of the demand, or the cause of it, which drew the attention of the chroniclers to these particular exer- cises of the royal prerogative. In the Articles of Inquisition of 1181 (see p. 112), the question, “ Pro quot hidis unaquaeque villa se de- fenderet tempore Regis Henrici, tempore W'll’i Decani, versus regem,” is followed immediately by this, “ Quid tunc fiscalibus commodis appenden- tur per annum vicecomiti .s. vel hundredi praeposito.” In 1222 the manor of Barling (see p. 64) being rated at two hides and an half, paid for hidage annually thirty-one pence to the bailiff of the hundred of Rislee, two pence halfpenny of which was due for 20 acres of the demesne. It appears from the Rotuli Hundredorum of 39 Hen. III. and the earlier years of Edw. I., that hidage was an annual payment, but whether universally paid by every manor is uncertain. In the county of Cambridge the Vicecomites were accustomed to repair the bridge at Cambridge by levying “ pontage” or “brigbote ” on every hide of land, which was liable to geld. Rot. Hundred, vol. ii. p. 407. Essarta . — -Lands reclaimed from the Forest or Common. The etymology of the word is doubtful. It appears from the “ Extenta Maneriorum ” (Statutes of the Realm, vol. i. p. 242), that the lord of a manor might have parks and demesne woods, which he could at pleasure plough up and cul- * The references I. 145, I. 97, &c. denote the folios of the Book marked by the letter I. now remaining in the Archives of the Cathedral, which contains the Survey or Inquisition of the Manors made by Dean Baudake, and which will be frequently men- tioned as the Inquisition of a.d. 1279.

At page 107 there is an extract of an inrolment of the Justices in Eyre of the 5 and 20 Ed. I. The right of the Canons of St. Paul’s to assart land at Chingeford and at Heybridge had been called in question; but judgment was given in their favour upon the production of a charter of King John, exempting the Chapter from all pleas of offence committed by them, in these lands and woods, against the forest laws. Prceter duas Prehendas . — The prebends here mentioned are those of Cadington Major and Cadington Minor, held by two of the Canons of St. Paul’s. In the Domesday of the county of Bedford (vol. i. f. 211) the Manor of Cadendon, in that county, belonging to St Paul’s, is described as containing five hides. In the time of the Confessor it was held by Leuuinus cilt. (ib. fob 36), together with the Hertfordshire manors of Cadindon and Canesworde, “ de rege,” and it appears to have been given, together with them, to St. Paul’s by the Conqueror.* The word 44 Praebenda,” or “Pre- benda,” means anything given for support and maintenance. All the thirty Canons of St. Paul’s have borne the title of Prebendaries, and been distin- guished by the names of the manors or lands allotted to them for their prebend, from as early a period as the beginning of the twelfth century. But the prebendal system was elsewhere probably of a still earlier date. In the account of the lands belonging to the canons of St. Martin’s, Dover, in the Exchequer Domesday, (vol. i. f. 1 b.) it is stated, with refer- ence to twenty-seven solins, held by that body in the last of Estrede, and other places, that in the time of the Confessor the 11 prebendae ” had been u communes,” and that they had been divided amongst the individual mem- bers by the Bishop of Bayeux. Other lands, however, belonging to the same body had been held, in the time of the Confessor, in separate pre- bends, and had descended from father to son, the Abbot of St. Augustine’s holding also lands belonging to that body u in praebenda,” which had been similarly held by his predecessor. Secta Comitatus et Hundredi . — We learn from Fleta, ii. c. 66, that * In the proceedings upon a Placitum de quo Warranto in the time of Edward III. against the two prebendaries of Cadington, a charter of Edward II. was produced reciting and confirming a charter of the Conqueror which gave to the church of St. Paul’s the fullest rights in all their laods. — Placita de Warranto, pages 40, 41. TO THE ST. PAUl/S DOMESDAY, A.D. 1222. lxv tenants who held lands by charter, were generally exempt from the duty of attendance at the County and Hundred courts, here termed “ Secta.” The exemption, however, was limited to the Dean and Chapter, and did not comprise their tenants. Such attendance was not merely a mark of honour to the Crown or the Lord, but was a source of profit also, the tenants making certain payments at that time. One example in support of this statement may suffice, being one of many particulars in the inquisition of the manor of Brehull, in co. Bucks. (39 Hen. III.) The jurors’ answer is, “ Dicimus quod Priorissa de Stotleye solebat facere sectam Curiae Domini Regis pro terra apud Esses quam Robertus de Bosco tenuit, et subtraxit se per tres annos, unde D’n’s Rex damnificatur in tribus solidis per illam subtractionem, scilicet quolibet anno in duodecim denariis.” Dominium . — The Demesne. Those lands in the manor, which were possessed by the Lord for his own use, and in which the tenants had no rights. 11 Est autem dominium , quod quis habet ad mensam suam et proprie, sicut sunt Bordlands, Anglice.” (Bracton, iv. 9, 5, p. 263.) Boscus forinsecus. — A wood not included in the Demesne, and therefore not wholly the property of the lord. Such woods are mentioned at Kens- worth (p. 7), at Ardley (p. 21), and at Heybridge (p. 52). From the £< Extenta Maneriorum” we learn the definition of this kind of wood to be “ Boscus forinsecus, ubi alii communicant.” At Nastok (I. fol. 77 b) the Pastura forinseca is described as “ Communis ad Parochiam.” Wainagium. — This word has several meanings. It here denotes the tillage and cartage required for the cultivation of the land. At p. 28, line 9, “Wainagium vetus,” in the sense of land anciently ploughed, is opposed to u Novum essartum,” land newly broken up. In Magna Charta it has a two-fold sense, that of tillage , as in the phrase “ tempus wainagii ,” and also of the implements for the work, as in the phrases “Terra instaurata de carrucis et wa’nagiis,” and “ Salvo wainagio suo.” Caruca. — A plough. The word is used also for a team of horses or oxen, as in the expression “Caruca vm. capitum,” a team of eight head. At p. 13 mention is made of a pasture “ ad Carucas,” i.e. for the plough teams. Caruca is also used for carucata. In I. 129 b, we read “Una caruca terrae continens ix. viginti acras.” Implementum Manerii. — The live and dead stock of the manor, including also ploughings and sowings ; also called “ Instauramcntum ” CAMD. SOC. k .XVI NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS (p. 122), and “ Restauramentum ” (p. 126). We read in the title to the Inventory of the Manor of Belchamp (p. 138), “ Hsec autem sunt instaura- menta et implementa quse reddere debet cum manerio,” i. e. at the expiration of the lease. Page 2.

Moniales de Bosco. — The nuns of Marketcell, a nunnery of the Benedictine Order in the Hertfordshire part of the parish of Cadington, founded by Geoffry, Abbot of St. Alban’s, about the year 1145. De dominico per villenagium. — Demesne land thus let to tenants is described by Bracton, p. 263, ed. 1640, “ Item dicitur dominicum villena- gium, quod traditur villanis, quod quis tempestive et intempestive resumere possit pro voluntate sua et revocare.” Aratura de lage erthe. — In Book I. 115, 116, this word Lage erthe is written “la verthe ” and “laverthe.” Work of a similar character was called “ benerthe ” and “ gavelerthe ” or “ gave herthe.” (I. 99 b.) (See Wilkins and Du Cange.) The distinction between “ laverthe ” and i( benerthe ” consisted in the labour of ploughing being performed either with food from the lord, or without it. In the inquisition of Kens- worth (I. 120) we read, “ Debet arare ter in anno sine cibo domini, quse vocatur £ laverthe ,’ et semel in anno ad cibum domini, quae vocatur ‘ benerthe ” Virgata quce non averat. — Services of various kinds were due to the lord, as from each Virgate or Hide, the occupiers of the land performing the services pro rata. Exemption from one service was compensated by the obligation to perform another, as in the case here noted, the Virgate, which was free from “ average,” made malt instead. Averare . — To carry corn or goods. Averium. — A beast for draught or burden. Averagium. — The work performed; or, as in page 61, Averagia ad carriagium — the beasts for the work. We have a particular descrip- tion of the manner in which this service was sometimes performed, in Rot. Hundred, (ii. p. 628.) “ Item debet averare cum equo et sacco suo proprio ad omnes mercatus infra comitatum, quotiens necesse fuerit et dominus voluerit, primo die super sumptibus propriis suis, et aliis diebus sumptibus domini.” The service was also performed on foot, as we learn TO THE ST. PAUl/S DOMESDAY, A.D. 1222. lxvii from the expressions (ib. p. 602), “averabit cum corpore suo absque equo,” and “facit averagium cum dorso;” and “ averagium ad pedes,” p. 81 of this volume.* Debet parare sex quarteria brasii vel dar e sex denarios . — The tenant either made the malt or paid six pence for malt-silver. The tenant could require from the lord fuel (focagium) for drying the malt, “ ad brasium desiccandum.” (I. 115 b.) Fotaver. — The service of carrying five capons or ten hens to London at Christmas (ib.). Page 4. Cui non attinet per WilVm Jirmarium. — This expression con- stantly recurs with mention of the name of the former tenant of the land. In some cases (see page 50) the new tenant had purchased the former tenant’s right, but generally the tenement would seem to have been newly allotted by the firmarius, the former tenant having gone away, or his right of occupancy having for some reason ceased ; for it is remarkable that the names of the tenants with cui non attinet subjoined are seldom, if ever, recorded as holding any other land in the manor. Escaeta propter furtum. — Many lords of manors had the privilege of receiving the lands and goods of felons, ordinarily forfeited to the Crown. Page 5. Summa brasii. — A load of malt. Summagium. — The duty of carrying. Reginatdus Praepositus. — The praepositus was foreman of the operarii, or customary tenants, and the assistant of the Bailivus. Fleta (II. c. 76) states that this officer was elected by the Villata. Accordingly we read (I. 106), that at Belchamp all the Custumarii elected the Praepositus, and were responsible for his good conduct, and that if he fell into arrear with respect to payment, and his own goods were not sufficient to make good the amount, the Custumarii were to supply the deficiency. At Cadendon the Praepositus served “ ad cibum domini,” and during his tenure of the office was exempt from all other services. (I. 116.) In precariis ad cibum domini. — Precariae, literally days of request, boon-days, on which the lord asked the aid of his tenants to plough, or hoe, or perform other work. The days were not limited to one period of the * The lexicographers are in doubt as to the root of the word “averare.” The verb “auepian” occurs in the Rectitudines Singularum Personarum (Laws of England, vol. i. p. 132.) -XV 111 NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS year, but depended upon the season. The Precarise Carucarum, for ploughing, were in winter or spring, the Precarise in autumn were for the gathering in the crops. At these times the lord frequently found food for the labourers, hut there was no uniform practice. Sometimes the Precarise are termed “ siccse,” or dry, as contrasted with the Precarise “cum cervisia,” at which beer was allowed. In the inquisition of Ardley (I. 1 15) we find a u Precaria ad cervisiam,” and also a “ Precaria ad aquam.” At the former, the allowance for two men was, at the first meal, porridge of beans or peas, and two loaves, one of them, white and sufficient for two meals, the other, a small loaf de mixtilione (maslin bread, of wheat or barley mixed with rye), together with a piece of meat, and beer for one meal. At evening they had a small loaf of maslin bread, and two “lescas” of cheese.” In the “Precaria ad aquam” the allowance was two great loaves, of the size thirty-two to a quarter, porridge as before, six herrings, one piece of some other fish, and water. At Belchamp (1. 101) the tenant, who had provided two men to labour, and who had two meals a-day, went to supper at the court, and was served with three dishes “honeste,” as a mark of distinction. At Norton (I. 150), in the fourth Precaria of the season, the tenants had three meals during the day, and their wives joined them at supper. In the Rotuli Hundredorum these Precarise are very frequently described. Ad Vincula.— -The abbreviated appellation of the festival of St. Peter ad Vincula, on the first day of August, otherwise termed “Gula Augusti.” Page 6. Garsavese . — A word used at a later period as synonymous with pannagium — the fee for permission to feed swine in the woods. In a document of the date of 1330, quoted by Ducange from Spelman, the word is written Grasanec, the root of which is probably the Anglo-Saxon gaers, or grass. In the R.S. P. (Laws of England, vol. i. p. 432), mention is made of a gejif-j-pyn, 11 porcus herbagii,” as given yearly by the Ge- neate, or Villanus to his Lord. In the Inquisition of Bernes (I. 131b), we find the word Garsavese expressing the annual payment given for pannage of pigs; and also (I. 132 b) the remarkable term, “avesabit porcos.” It is doubtful whether the meaning of the word Garsavese is to be limited to the pannage of swine. At p. 51 we have an account of the payments due at Waletone for the pasture of sheep, animalia , horses, and pigs, all of which appear to be included under “Garsavese,” the concluding words being “ similiter de equis et de singulis porcis 1 .d. pro Garsavese.” At Kadendon TO THE ST. PAUL’S DOMESDAY, A.D. 1222. lxix in 1279 (I. 119 b) there were eight tenants, each of them paying 2 \d. for Garsavese, i.e. half the sum here mentioned as payable from each Virgate, the land having been subdivided. Langable . — It is remarkable that the payments of Langable, Pannage, and Garsavese are here mentioned together, as in the R. S. P. landgavol and gepf-fpyn follow each other. Landgable appears to have been a very ancient payment. It is defined in Spelman’s Glossary to be a tribute or praedial rent of 1 d. for every house. In the manors of St Paul’s it was a payment from each Virgate. At Cadendon it was payable at the feast of St. Martin (I. 119), and amounted to 7 \d. per virgate. At Beauchamp it amounted to twice that sum, 1 5d. (p. 33). At Heybridge each virgate appears to have paid 2 \d. (page 56). It was due at Michael- mas, and the whole sum in 1279 amounted to 2 s. 6d. (I. 89). At Nastok the sum which the nativi holding virgates paid as Landgable was 5d. and there were eight such virgates (I. 76). In the R. S. P. the non- payment of Landgavol is mentioned, as distinguishing the Cotsetle from the Geneate or Villanus. (Laws of England, i. p. 432.) Pannagium . — The word means either the right of feeding pigs or other animals in the lord’s woods, or the money paid for the exercise of it. According to Spelman, a paunagium ” would be the correct form of the word, pauns being the name for the produce of wood, such as acorns, beech, or mast, &c., but the root is most probably the Latin Pastus. In the “ R. S. P.” the word is written “ Pastinagium,” and in French docu- ments it takes the same form. At Belchamp (I. 106), Pannage was thus paid : “ Omnes porci magni et parvi, qui pascuntur in campis et boscis domini, ducuntur die S’cti Martini Episcopi ad aulam, et pannagium dant (praeter sues et porcellos) et taxantur per duos liberos homines et duos custumarios, praeter sues et porcellos lactantes.” Woodsilver . — A payment in lieu of the service of carrying wood. At Nastok (p. 82), some of the tenants carried a cart-load from the wood to the court at Christmas. At Chingford (p. 99), the wood was not only carried, but hewn for fuel, and put up “ super trabes,” probably the beams of the hall. At Sutton (p. 94), the tenant brought four cart-loads from the wood to the court “ sine cibo.” Foddercorn . — A payment of oats in kind. This payment was made at Martinmas, and consisted of a half-quarter of oats (I. 116). At Horlock lxx NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS it was paid (p. 47) in the month of March. At Nastok (p. 83) on Christmas Eve. Oats were also paid as rent by the Tenacre holders at Sandun (p. 17). Foddercorn occurs frequently in Rot. Hund. p. 602, 638, 642, &c. and as payable at Martinmas. Purprestura . — Any encroachment, such as inclosure of waste on the side of the king’s highway, erection of buildings, stopping watercourses, roads, or pathways, inclosure of common or forest lands, breaking up woodlands, enlarging parks, &c. Semen frumenti ad unam rodam ,— The quantity of seed wheat paid by these tenants in 1279 was two bushels, and the land sown with it eight half-roods or one acre. Page 7. VI. nummatum terree . — The purprestura is here described as six-penny-worth of land. There is reason to believe that very small quan- tities of land were thus valued. It was a purprestura or encroachment which is here mentioned ; and in a charter of Henry II. in Oliver’s Monas- ticon Diaecesis Exon. p. 24, half an acre is described as “ viginti nummatas terrae.” (See Spelman and Du Cange, Nummata.) Cessit in dies regis . — The meaning of the phrase is uncertain ; but probably it means simply, that he yielded to the King of Terrors and died, after which the half- virgate which he held was divided between the two tenants next mentioned, and the Purprestura by a third, for xii. instead of vi. pence. Page 8. Consuetudines Villatce . — Under this term are included all the services and payments due to the lord from the tenants of all ranks ; but in connection with Wainagium, it must be limited to the services performed by the Carucse or Teams of the tenants.

Per finem ,— The term finis here used, is defined by Spelman (Gloss. 229) to be the money agreed to be paid for entering upon a farm, either by the native tenant to his lord, or by the lessee to the lessor ; the payment was anciently called “ gersuma.” At p. 12, certain essart lands are described as granted to the tenants, upon the payment of half a mark to the Dean and Chapter. Page 10. Ecclesia de Kensivorth . — The virgate of land here mentioned was an endowment by the Chapter.

This grove formed part of the virgate of land held by the tenant, and which by his tenure he was at liberty to essart or grub up. Mansium est in dominio , fyc. — The dwelling-house attached to the land being in the demesne, and probably not occupied by the tenants, an agree- ment had been made with the Firmarius, by which they were allowed the reduction of rent here spoken of under the term u excidunt duos denarios.” Page 11.

Disrationavit per breve Regis in curia apud Sandon. — “ Disrationavit virgatam,” proved her right to the Virgate. The “ Breve Regis ” here mentioned was probably the “ breve de recto,” or writ of right, which, as we learn from Bracton, lib. 5, c. 2, 3, was first to be tried in the Court of the Lord of the Manor, and then by default was removable to the County Court. See also Blackstone, iii. 10, and Appendix. Page 17. Portare xxv. summas. — In the account of this service in I. 137 b., the word averagia is used, and each averagium is said to consist of seven bushels of wheat or barley ; or ten bushels and a-half of oats, according to the measure of St. Paul’s. Page 17. Strica — Hoppa. — It is to be observed that the holders of ten acres are here mentioned as paying a Strike of oats, and the holders of five acres a Hoppa, and hence it would appear that the “strike” was the double of the “ hoppa.” The “ strike ” is said to be a bushel (see Johnson’s Dictionary), but since it is found that in 1279 (I. 142) the ten-acre men of this Manor paid two bushels of oats, and the five-acre men one, we thence conclude that the “ strike ” at Sandon was two bushels. lxxii NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS Page 18. Se tertio. — i.e. with two others, himself being the third. Some words are probably omitted in the MS. The meaning of the text is illustrated by the Survey of 1279 (I. 138), where it appears, that at the Precariae in autumn each tenant provided two men to labour “ ad cibum domini;” and that for one day the tenant was bound to come himself with his cart to carry corn, or, if he had not a cart, then to come himself for two days’ labour “ ad mensam domini,” being fed at the table of the lord.

Habere unam garbam de ipso blado. — In the Latin text of “ the Rectitudines,” the recompense to the Cotsetle of a sheaf for mowing an acre of oats is thus described, “ Habeat garbam suam, quam praepositus vel minister domini dabit ei.” (p. 433.) Page 21. Boscus vestitus. — Vestura is defined in Du Cange u Fructus quilibet agro haerentes.” At p. 1 we find the phrase “ Boscus bene ves- titus de fago.” It is probable, that when a wood is said to be Non vestitus, the absence of all produce either from underwood or pannage is implied. De Rifflei et Virgis - — Reffletum, Refletum, Reflectum. (Du Cange.) Vesturae boscorum et reflectorum. (Fleta, II. 41, § 38.) The meaning of the word Rifflei is doubtful ; but, being united with “ virgis,” it seems to indicate an osier bed, or plantation of pliable wood. Page 28. Forland. — The “ Forland ” and the “ Inland ” of a manor would seem to bear the same relation to each other as the “ Boscus Forinsecus,” and “ Boscus Intrinsecus. The u Inland” and “Utland” are described by Lambard as the Demesne of the lord, and the Land of the tenants. (Spelman ) It is, however, probable that both the Inland of the demesne, and the Forland or Utland of the tenants, differed as to tenure, or to situation, from the ordinary demesne and tenants’ lands. The “Inlands,” which were relet upon an increased rent at Belchamp, in 1240 (see pages 118-121), are described as “ terrse de dominico, quas vocant Inlandes.” Page 29. Pro obolo et corredio. — “ Corredium,” or “ Corrodium,” was a continued allowance of food for one or more days. The service here described was that of the office of server, or dresser of the table. See TO THE ST. PAUL’S DOMESDAY, A.D. 1222. lxxiii Spelman voce “ Sewer.” This Gilibertus le Suir held also v. acres as a free tenant (p. 31). Page 30. Debet facere sectam sir ce et hundredi. — Although the Dean and Chapter as Lords of Manors were free from suit and service at the County Courts, their tenants do not appear to have partaken the exemption. In the Rot. Hundred, of Essex (p. 161) the Bishop of London is stated to have withdrawn the suit of two men in Tollesbury who were accustomed to attend the tourn of the sheriff, and the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul’s to have withdrawn the “ secta Hundredi ” due from a tenement in their Manor of Heybrigge. Page 32. Sine foris facto. — The services here mentioned were those of the Libere Tenentes ; but it would seem that if not performed no forfeiture was incurred. In the survey of 1181 (see page 117) the same expression “ sine forisfacto” occurs. In the survey of 1279 it is omitted ; but from the account there given (I. 101) of the quantity of food which was due by custom to the tenants at the precariae, it would appear that, since the lord lost little by their non-attendance, forfeiture was not incurred. Page 33. Precaria quce dicitur ben. — “Item inveniet unum hominem ad viii. benes in autumno ad cibum domini.” (I. 98 b.) Gavelsed . — Otherwise termed Gavelcorn. In 1279, from every half- virgate one heaped bushel of wheat was due under the denomination of Gavelcorn. (I. 107.) Page 34. JVarectabit dimidiam acram. — Land ploughed in the spring and left fallow was termed “ Warectum.” It is now termed summer fallow. The word is a form of the Latin “ Vervactum,” which is thus defined in Facciolati : “ Ager vere proscissus, deindeque quiescens usque ad sequentem autumnum, quo sementis fit ; quasi vere actum." Vigilabit circa curiam. — The mode of performing the service is de- scribed in I. 98. “ John Aldred, a customary tenant, was bound with the other tenants of the same rank to provide, that one of them should keep watch at the court from Christmas to Twelfth-day, and have a good fire in the Hall, one white loaf, one cooked dish (ferculum coquinae), and a gallon of ale ; and if any damage were done, he that watched was to make it good, unless he had raised the hue and cry for the village to go in pursuit.” It is probable, that when services of this kind were commuted by the lord, the money paid in lieu of service was termed “ ward-penny.” CAMD.

Furem judicatum suspendet. — Upon the right of lords of manors to have a gallows and to try and execute robbers, see Spelman in voce Infang theof. In the Placita de Quo Warranto, Ed. I. (p. 8), the Abbot of Waltham being charged with having erected a gallows, (not having had one in his Manor of Alrichseye (Arlesy? in the county of Bedford), prior to the last circuit of the Justices in Eyre,) replied ; that it was true, that robbers had been very often condemned in his court and hanged on the gallows of his neighbours, who lent them to him ; but after the last circuit it happened, that one Theobald, a robber, was taken “ cum manu opere” (with the goods in his possession) at the suit of a certain person, and condemned in his court ; and that under the cover of the Royal Charter, which allowed him “ In- fangenethef,” he then first erected a gallows after the last circuit, as it was lawful for him to do ; and further, that robbers, who had been condemned by the Justices in Eyre, or their deputies, had frequently been delivered to him to be executed. In a similar proceeding against the Bishop and Canons of St. Paul’s, it was pleaded (p. 476) that the Canons of St. Paul’s possessed the right of Infangenethef, with other privileges, in all their manors in the county of Middlesex, but that they had no gallows, except in Finsbury ; and that, when any of the men of their Villae were taken, their twenty-two hides w T ere convened to pass the judgment upon him, “ ad judicium de eo perficiendum.” Page 39. Mallardus. — The drake of the wild duck. Forland. — Inland and Forland would seem to be terms opposed to each other. On referring to the Inquisition of 1279 (I. 99) it appears that the tenants here described as holding Forland are there said to hold Mollond. In the Rot. Hundred. (II. p. 425) mention is made of customary tenants at Campes, in the county of Cambridge, holding Mollond. Land of to the st. Paul’s domesday, a.d. 1222. lxxv this character was also held by tenants of the St. Paul’s manors Wicham and Chingford, in 1279, though no mention is made of them in 1222. At Wicham Mollond was distinguished from Customary land with respect to the right of dower, u The widow who held Mollond was entitled to have the moiety of such land for dower as long as she remained a widow, and the whole of the customary land, but marrying she lost the whole of it. If Customary land descended to daughters the eldest took the whole, but Mollond was divided.” (I. 100.) At Chingford there were several tenants “ nativi ” holding various quantities of land described as “ terra de mollond per successionem cum pertinentiis : ” we meet also with this description “terra de werklond cum pertinentiis per successionem and also “ terra cum pertinentiis de mollond et werklond per successionem.” There were eighteen such tenants of Mollond. Mollond and Werklond were, however, different. The services of the tenants of Mollond are the same as those due from the Custumarii; but the payment on admission differed at Chingford ; the Operarius paid to the lord a ploughshare; of tenants of other classes it is said “ Ingredientes Mollond duplicabunt redditum.” (I. 65.) Page 41. Hidarii de Torph . — The reader will remark that of nine and a half hides held by the Hidarii, eight are described as divided amongst several tenants. (See the Observations on this Tenancy, Introduction, p. xxv.) In 1279 the number of hides so divided was nine. The services due from these tenants, as described in the following pages 42, 43, are enumerated in I. 95, and the value of them, as due from each hide, when commuted, is estimated at eighteen shillings and eleven pence. The holders of the nine hides possessed also amongst them seventy-two messuages or dwelling-houses, and for each messuage some occasional services were due, in addition to those due for the land in the hide. Page 43. Ad totum d'nium unius carucce . — “Ad totum dignerium.” See pages 55, line 11 ; 62, line 27, where it appears that the word dignerium is equivalent to cibum. The service here mentioned was that of threshing corn enough for the food of a team ( caruca ) in winter and spring. Dig- nerium is explained by Du Cange to be Pastus, Prandium, and derived from the French u Disner.” It is evidently an ancient form of our present word “ dinner.” Rot. Hund.

In 1279 this payment was commuted for iiij d. messing silver, or “metegafol,” as the older form of the word is in R. S. P. p. 434. Companagium — Flesh, fish, or cheese; anything to be eaten with bread. Cley'as adfaldam de virgis. — Hurdles. In the Inquisition of Belchamp (I. 103), the Clera is described to be made “de novem pilis, et unus pes erit inter quamlibet pilam cum una magna pila et Wrevia.” If the great stake was at one end of the hurdle, and the Wrevia at the other, we may suppose that the Wrevia was the band which fastened one hurdle to another. One meaning of recijian in Anglo-Saxon is “ to pull,” hence our word “ to reef.” Doddas avence. — In page 47 it is stated that 24 doddae equal 27 Colchester quarters. In 1279 three quarters of oats were paid in lieu of two doddae ; under the description “ Tria quarteria de Ledoten or Ledhoten.” (I. 93 b.) Page 46.

Culacium . — Probably that sort of addition to a building, which we now call a lean-to. It is here attached to a bovarium or oxshed ; but it was a frequent appendage to a barn. See the description of the barns at Wicham, Ardeley, and Belchamp, pages 136, 137, 139. Cuius. — Pars cujusvis rei posterior. Du Cange. Susenna. — Susenna pastura, p. 64. The etymology of the word, accord- ing to Du Cange, is uncertain, but it appears to be associated with marsh- land. The land here mentioned as capable of maintaining 400 sheep, and to the st. Paul’s domesday, a.d. 1222. lxxvii containing 1 60 acres, is described in I. 89, under the name Ewenemersh, and as sustaining 400 “ oves matrices ad majus centum.” We find in Britton (chap, xx.) the word “ Sursane ” (Ex Gallico Sursemees- — Du Cange); in the Mirror of Justice (cap. i. § xvi.), Sussenee ; in Fleta (ii. 122), Suscematae ; in the Judicium Pilloriae, “carnes susceinatas;” in the Statutum de Pistoribus, “ carnes porcinas supersennuatas,” — swine’s flesh measled,” the words in all these places denoting meat unfit for eating. When therefore the word “susenna” is joined to pasture, it may mean unsound or rotten pasture, such as is now found on the coast of Essex upon the “ saltings which are formed by the gradual accumulation of silt, and which require a length of time to become solid before they are inclosed and fit for the plough. Page 49. Isti tenent sexacras.— By an error of transcription “ sexacras” has been printed instead of “ seracras and subsequently “ sexlond ” instead of “ serlondl In 1279 there were ten tenants at Walton holding “ saracres ” and at Kirkby sixteen, but the peculiar character of “ seracres ” or “ serlond” does not appear. Lodlond. — The meaning of this word is uncertain. It may denote the tenure, as being that of carrying “ loads,” and of which a particular account is given in I. 141, “ De lodis,” as due from the tenants at Sandon ; or it may be descriptive of the position of the land, as lying upon a “ lode ” or canal.

We learn from I. 89, that the sum received in 1279, under the name of schepselver, as a commutation of the service of carrying the firmae to London, | was 24s., paid in equal portions of 8s. at three periods of the year, the Manor furnishing three firmae at those intervals. Page 56. Participabit in uno mulione feni. — The mow of hay so divided was the produce of half an acre. (I. 86 a.) Wardpenny. — It is evident, that as the Maltsilver and Landgavel here mentioned were payable to the Lord, so also was the Wardpenny. (Note, p. 34, Vigilabit circa curiam .) It is, however, to be observed that Wardpenny was one of the payments due to the Crown and payable at the County Court (see page 58) ; but whether as a commutation for any, or what kind of guard, we are not informed. At page 64 we read, that the Manor of Barling paid for its two hides and a half thirteen pence for Ward - penny, towards which the Demesne lands contributed two pence. The names of the tenants from whom the Wardpenny was due are given at p. 68. 57. Ad stipulam. — The service of collecting straw T for thatching, as in p. 56, “ ad grangias cooperiendas.” Decern acres pro ferramentis carucarum faciendis. — This tenement was in 1279 held by Johannes “ Faber,” or Smith. In I. 86 b. this service is more fully described. The Smith paid no rent, but he made all the iron- work of the ploughs, shod four plough-horses (affros de caruca) and one cart-horse, the Lord providing iron and steel (asserrum) for the ploughs, and iron and nails for the horseshoes. Page 58. Cum sex hidis trium solandarum. — From the description given (p. 93) of the solanda of Chiswick a quae per se continet duas hidas,” we infer, that the three Solandae here mentioned, contained each of them two hides also, and, as has been stated in the Introduction (p. xiv.), of less dimension than the ordinary hide. It was there conjectured, that the Solanda might represent the Kentish solimus of 180 acres, and be composed of two hides of 90 acres each. The word “Solanda” in the Inquisitions of Tillingham and of Drayton in J18I (pages 142, 145), and in that of Drayton in 1279 (I. 128), is written “ Scolanda ” and “ Scholanda.” At Drayton in the account of John Derman’s tenement, who was said to hold forty-three and a half acres “ terrge arabilis,” and three acres and a half “de la Scoland,” “ploughed land,” would seem to be opposed to “ Scoland.’’ to the st. Paul’s domesday, a.d. 1222. lxxix It is however there particularly stated, that the Scholand contained one hide of four virgates or 64 acres ; the virgate of Drayton containing only 16 acres; and thus the smallness of this hide of Scholanda at Drayton confirms the conjecture, that hides in Solanda or Scholanda were generally less than the ordinary hide.

Proprio custamento suo et periculo. — This is further explained, I. 84b. The firmae were sent to London by water. If the ship was lost, but any one escaped, the tenants bore the loss of the cargo, and were answerable for the firmae. The value of the carriage of four firmse to London was estimated at \l. 6s, 8c?. Portandas uV danningam. — The text is misprinted potandas ; ul’ is probably ultra. Danningam, or Dengey, is the adjoining village, to which the corn was to be carried, in order to its being shipped. Reddunt istas duae hidae , fyc.— In the year 1236, 19 Henry III. the Chapter had a renewed grant of this Manor from the Crown, which exempted them from suit at the county and hundred court, from payment of Ward- penny, Hundredpenny, Tithingpenny, and view of Francplege, and confirmed to them Saca et Soca, &c. (I. 163.) Page 66. Ad aperiendos selones ad aquae ductum. — The service of letting off the water by opening the furrows between the ridges. At Chingford (I. 63) we read u Et sciendum est, quod si debeat waterfur- giare, debet desiccare xx partitos, et si cum caruca ad waterfurgiandum (sic) tunc debet desiccare x. partitos.” The partiti appear to be the selliones , and ten openings with the plough were accounted equal to twenty made by the spade. Page 67. Aeram unam Garsacram . — It appears from a passage in the Rotuli Hundred, p. 868, “arabit duos seliones, qui vocantur grasacre,” that the Grasacre consisted of two strips or ridges, called “ Balks.” Page 68. Inferius notati debent Wardpenny . — It would appear from lxxx NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS this list, that the burden of the Wardpenny (mentioned at p. 64 as annually payable by the manor to the bailiff of the hundred of Reilee), was borne by those tenants in particular, who held “ terras operarias,” in most instances, of half a virgate ; and that the payment was chargeable upon the land, and not upon the persons, the payment being continued though the lands by escheat became attached to the demesne. A similar list is found at p. 85 of eight persons of the manor of Nastok, who paid 2d. each towards the 1 6 a?. which was due to the court of the hundred at Hocktide. Of these eight persons four were Libere Tenentes, other three Nativi, the Libere Tenentes probably paying the Wardpenny, as holding lands formerly belonging to persons of the latter class. In the Survey of Sutton in 1222 there is no similar enumeration, although Wardpenny is mentioned as paid by four of the tenants holding half virgates. But the Survey of 1279 (I. 28) contains the names of twelve persons who paid 2d. each as Ward- penny, together with notice of a Wardpenny of a different character, re- sembling that paid to the Bercarius at Bernes, p. 105, for the custody of sheep in the common pasture. “ Quilibet habens averia super terruras Domini ad valentiam xxx d dabit unum denarium ad festum S’ci Martini, qui vocatur Wardpeny, exceptis illis qui sunt de Ward vigilantes, qui vigilant ad regiam stratam de nocte (then follow the twelve names), et recipient Wardestof, et facit (sic) summonitionem de Vigilia, et erit quietus pro summonitionibus de denariis qui vocantur Wardpenny.” In the Survey of Chingford of 1222 no distinct mention is made of Wardpenny, hut in the Survey of 1279 (I. 65), which recites a “ Finalis concordia” made between the Abbot of Waltham and the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul’s, 4 Hen. III. with respect to the Services due to the Half-hundred of the Abbot from the Tenants of the Manor of Chingford, some statements are made, which illustrate the duty of “ Ward ” as rendered at the court of the Hundred, as well as the payment of Wardpenny within the Manor. That document states, that it was anciently the custom, that all the Tenants of the Manor, whether Liberi or Villani, should attend unsummoned three lagehundreds in the year, from the Tuesday next after the Feast of St. Michael for fifteen days, from the Tuesday after the Epiphany for fifteen days, and also from Hokday, on which latter day the tenants were bound “ praesen- tare quandam Wardam in quodam baculo qui vocatur Wardestaf.” This service was due at the Hundred Court. But when the View of Francplege to the st. Paul’s domesday, a.d. 1222. lxxxi was held annually, on Friday in Whitsun week, at the church at Chingford, by the Bailiff of the Hundred, and the Bailiff of the Manor, then, according to ancient custom, ten pence was paid for Wardpenny. Charchiare. — Apparently a form of “ cariare,” (carro vehere), and of the French li charier.” (Du Cange.) Page 70. De cremento ut sit perpetuum. — In almost all cases the increase of rent appears to have been a penny per acre. The tenants probably obtained a right of inheritance by the increased payment. Page 72. Duas Wardacras de frumento et avena. — The number of tenants here enumerated as performing this service is ten. We learn from I. 66, where eight tenants of this class are mentioned, that the whole land reaped by them was four acres, two of wheat and two of oats. They also furnished one of the four men who with the Praepositus attended at the assize upon the Justices in Eyre to represent the Villata. (Bracton, 109 b, 143 b ; Britton, ch. 2, De Eyres.)

These persons were Nativi. But the payment gave them the privilege of going out of the Manor, “ habent exitum ” (see Introduction, p. xxiv), and they had the right of wood and water on the demesne. Falcabit dimidiam aeram et venit ad Bedemad. — Bedmath is the service of Haymaking. It is fully described in I. 70, where the service of mowing the halfacre here mentioned has the distinguishing name, Bed- halfaker. Twenty-six mowers and eight haymakers were entitled for this service to the bread of four bushels of wheat, a live sheep, a cheese of the value of 5d ., and a cheesemold, first filled with salt, and afterwards with oatmeal. Page 82. Respectus. — Mora, dilatio, continuatio temporis — an adjourn- ment to a future day, to give time for giving an answer. (Spelman.) Hence our word “ Respite.” Page 85. Pro Communitate Pastoragii. — The description of “ com- TO THE ST. PAUL’S DOMESDAY, A.D. 1222. lxxxiii munia pasturae,” and of the law respecting it, occupies three chapters of the fourth book of Bracton. The right of communia varied, however, so much, and was sometimes so limited, that it is possible, the privilege which the Villala of Nastock enjoyed, might only be that of grazing cattle, without including the right of pannage, or the full enjoyment of the “pessona.” Inquisitio facta anno secundo post translationem Beati Thorace. — The insertion of this date is remarkable. The translation of the remains of Saint Thomas of Canterbury took place on the 7th July, 1220. We are not informed as to the time of the year when this inquisition was begun ; but the visit of the Dean and the Treasurer to Chingford must have taken place prior to 7 July, 1222. Per Robertum Decanum , &c. — Robert de Watford was Dean from the year 1218 to T228. Henry the Chancellor was Henry de Cornhill ; he became Chancellor in 1217, and Dean in 1254. Peter the Treasurer here mentioned as the “ firmarius ” was Peter de Sancta Maria : he was Pre- bendary of Isledon. De Carmos. Moellos et Jantes et Wdericht. — Are these the names of particular woods or of materials ? Wdericht seems to be some special right of wood, apparently different from the right of supply of wood for the carts. Page 86. Duo Lagehundred. — The law courts of the hundred. The law-day is mentioned in Statut. 1 Edw. IV. c. 2. In the Forest Laws of Cnut, c. ix, we read, “ Sint omnes quieti ab omnibus procurationibus, sum- monitionibus et popularibus placitis, quas hundred laghe Angli dicunt.” Page 90. Duo fa’ de avena.-— Two Fardings or Quarters. Aver silver. — Money in lieu of carriage or average. Quarta pars plumbi. — The plumbus is a leaden fat belonging to the brewery, frequently mentioned in the inventories of the manors, pp. 121, 132, 137, 146, and in some cases as “plumbus super furnacem.” The text, as it stands, is defective in meaning; but the inquisition of 1279 justifies the conjecture, that the service here mentioned is that of filling one-fourth of the boiler or “ plumbus super furnacem,” for the purpose of a bath ; for we there read (I. 60, 63,) of four tenants of this manor, who were bound “ Balinare dominum, et aquam portare, et calefacere ad idem.” Page 92. Duas firmas plenas. — The “plena firma” is distinguished from the “brevis firma” which is mentioned at p. 122 as payable in 1150 from the manor of Wicham ; but the relative proportions of the two firmae are not lxxxiv NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS discoverable. The number of firmse payable from each manor varied ac- cording to its extent. (See Introduction, p. xxxix.) In later times each firma contained 16 quarters of wheat, 16 quarters of oats, and three quarters of barley. v Page 96. Johannes Faber . — In 1279 Walter Faber held this tenement, and performed this service : u Dat unum hamum ferreum de redditu ad carnem in coquina erigendam, die quo dominus habet magnam Alebedrip (probably the time of brewing, when the tenants supplied utensils), et habebit jentaculum suum.” (I. 27.) Page 103. Femes. — This manor is described in the Exchequer Domes- day as forming part of the Archiepiscopal manor of Mortalage, and held of the Archbishop by the Canons of St. Paul’s. The prsedial services due from them of ploughing a certain quantity of the Archbishop’s land “ ad cibum in curia archiepiscopi,” and of attending the “ precariae ” of the Archbishop, illustrate the position, that the performance of praedial services does not imply degradation in condition. Quorum tamen num'um recepit. — The reading is uncertain. Nummum would mean money received for defects, but numerum appears preferable as denoting the enumeration of the buildings in the lease granted to the firmarius. In the lease granted to Gerard de Cusance in 1317 (I. 169) there is a clause respecting improvements and dilapidations, which illustrates the allusion here made to the “ melioratio ” and “ deteriorate ” of the buildings. “ Et quicquid meliorationis inventum fuerit tunc ibidem in domibus vel utensilibus praedictis per eum receptis liberum et quietum eisdem decano et capitulo remanebit, ita tamen quod, si domos aliquas inutiles vel ruinosas destruxerit, vel onerosas aut male dispositas in melius mutaverit alibi transferendo vel competentius disponendo, debita recom- pensatio sibi fiat de necessariis et utilibus meliorationibus per eum, ut praemittitur, factis cum aliis inutilibus vel ruinosis per eum destructis, et vel male dispositis alibi translatis, seu utilius et melius ordinatis, dum tamen sufficientia aysiamenta domorum necessariarum et utilium dimittantur.” Page 105. Ponunt faldam suam. — The folding from Hokday to the first of August on the demesne, and paying for the charge of the stock so folded, was an advantage to the lord, both as respects the manuring of the demesne and providing the wages of his shepherd. Communis pastura. — This right of feeding is distinct from that of TO THE ST. PAUL’S DOMESDAY, A.D. 1222. IxxxV folding just mentioned, which was limited to the demesne lands between Hokday and the first of August. It was that denominated pasture of common, and was enjoyed from Easter to Michaelmas ; nor was the lord bound to provide any shepherd for the sheep thus depastured. Page 107. Inrotulatio , fyc. — These extracts from the enrolments of the proceedings of the Justices in Eyre of the 5 and 20 Ed. I. 1277 and 1292, form the last page (but in a much later hand) of the Domesday of 1222. Vistes et reward' forestce. — The views and surveys of the King’s Foresters. Quieta de canibus expeditandis. The not being compelled to law their dogs, by mutilating their feet to prevent their chasing the game. Imbladitura. — The growing corn on assart lands. De Agnete Picot. — In an Inquisition made 3 Edw. I. mention is made of a Purprestura at Chingford held by one Picot who paid to the Treasurer of St. Paul’s three days’ work and three halfpence. (Rot. Hundred, vol. I. p. 160.) From the Placita de Quo Warranto (p. 282) it appears that in the 6 Edw. I., the year following this circuit or iter of Roger de Clifford, the Bishop of London and the Chapter defended their rights on this manor by producing their charters, and that they were dismissed “ sine die,” their claim being allowed. Hebrugge , Chingeford. — The Chapter appear to have been charged with a Purprestura committed in the time of Simon de Stanbrugg. The Charter of King John which had been produced at Chingford (6 Edw. II.) was produced again, and the rights of the Chapter both at Chingford and Heybridge allowed. NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE FRAGMENT OF THE DOMESDAY OF RADULPHUS DE DICETO IN 1181. This MS. for the transcription of which the Editor is indebted to the Rev. H. O. Cox, Under-Librarian of the Bodleian, contains only two leaves, written in double columns, of the folio size, the handwriting and the page being of the same character but rather larger than that in the Domesday of 1 222. They are part of a book which originally contained, as is shown by the Capitula (p. 110), not only the Inquisition of 1181, but many other particulars relative to the Cathedral and its possessions. Page 109. Annus ab Incarnatione , fyc. — The date of the Inquisition, as commencing Jan. 8, 1181, and synchronizing with the 21 of Alex- ander III. and the 27 of Henry II. accords with the Chronological Tables of Sir H. Nicolas. The King Henry here mentioned, as the king’s son, was the eldest son of Henry II. who was crowned king during his father’s lifetime, on the 14th June, 1170, being then fifteen years of age. He died at Castle Martel, in Turenne, in 1182 ; his father died in 1189. He was crowned a second time at Winchester after his marriage with Mar- garet, the only daughter of Louis VII. King of France ; and, as he was twice crowned, he was also twice buried, first at Mans, and afterwards at Rouen. Sandford, Geneal. Hist. p. 67. Page 110. Herebertus Cantuariensis Archidiaconus. — This person was probably Herebertus Pauper, who in 1194 was consecrated to the see of Salisbury. Godwin de Praesulibus, p. 342. Robertus Manteli. Vicecomes. — He was Sheriff of Essex and Herts for twelve years subsequent to the 16 Henry II. ; the two counties being under the same sheriff until the 9 Eliz. (Fuller’s Worthies, vol. i.) He was the founder of the monastery of Bileigh, in the parish of Maldon. Nicholas de Sigillo. — He was probably a relation of Robertus de Sigillo, who died Bishop of London in 1151. Nicholas, surnamed Scriba, was also a Canon of St. Paul’s at the time of this Inquisition. THE DOMESDAY OF RADULPHUS DE DICETO. lxxxvii Ricardus Rujfus. — A Canon and Prebendary of Twyford, who, in the time of Hugo de Marini the Dean, became the Firmarius of Belchamp. (See the Lease, p. 138). His surname Ruffus distinguishes him from Richard the Archdeacon, who had also held the lease of that manor, but who was not Archdeacon of Essex later than 1168. Newcourt, in his Repertorium, has assigned the surname of Ruffus to the Archdeacon, but, as it appears, incorrectly. It is remarkable that among the lists of tenants of the manor of Belchamp in 12*22, the name of Matilda occurs as “relicta Ricardi Ruffi,” and as holding an acre of land. Odo de Dammar tino. — This person does not appear to have been a canon. The family, of which he was a member, was settled at Norton» the church of which was given in the reign of Ric. I. by Bartholomew de Dammartino, the patron, to the nuns of St. Leonard’s at Bromley. Johannes de Marigni. — Possibly a relation of Hugo de Marini, the predecessor of Radulphus de Diceto in the deanery. Nicholas Londoniensis Archidiaconus . — In the List of the Prebendaries of Oxgate, this Nicholas is mentioned as being the son of Nicholas Croce- mannus, the former prebendary. Page 112. Inquisitio facta infra viginti dies duos.- — This progress began in the winter in the month of January. That in 1222 appears to have taken place at Midsummer. In 1279 the progress began on the 19th Sept, at Nastock, and ended at Chiswick on the 24th Oct. ; more places were then visited, and the whole time occupied thirty-six days instead of twenty-two. Page 113. Re ginaldus pr cep o situs. — -Mentioned in 1222 as having been a tenant of this manor. See page 7, and note there. Page 114. Ric. archarius — Aschetillus — Stonhardus. — Among the jurors in 1222 we find Thomas Archer, Anketillus and Stonhardus. The two latter were probably the persons who had served forty years before. Rohertus persona tenet. — The lands of this Robert Persona were held (the stanwinesland excepted) in 1222 by Ricardus de Petewineshale ; and subsequently by Nicholas de Petewineshale; and in 1279 by Nicholas his son. In 1240, another member of the family, William de Petewineshall, held a messuage formerly held by Richard. It is probable that Robertus Persona was the ancestor of the family. We learn from I. 101, that, prior to 1279, Nicholas, the son of Nicholas, had sold all his land but seven or eight acres, one Martinus de Suthmere being both the purchaser of the Ixxxviii THE DOMESDAY OF RADULPHUS DE DICETO. fourscore acres which belonged to Nicholas, and also the tenant of twenty- four acres, for which he rendered service to the manor for himself and his tenants ; the same Martinus having fourteen tenants rendering him service, whilst he himself rendered service for a small portion to another tenant, Robert Lovekyn, who had tenants under him, himself also rendering service to the manor. Such was the intricacy attendant upon manorial subinfeuda- tion, being the counterpart upon a smaller scale of the intricacy of the relations, in which kings and princes and nobles stood to each other, as possessors of lands, either in the same or in different countries, under the system of feudality, which scarcely recognised the possession of land apart from fealty, or the performance of some kind of personal service. Randulphus prcepositus . — The tenement held by this person is men- tioned in 1222 as held by William the son of Absolon at the same rent, vs. vi d. Page 117. Isti tenent terras operarias . — The possessors of some of these lands appear in the subsequent Inquisition of 1222. Stanbard’s half-virgate was held by John de Wicham ; that of Lambertus, the son of Ailinar, descended to his daughter, Basilia ; that of Lambertus grossus to his widow Alicia. Robert the son of Wlurinus was still alive ; and his son had become a tenant. OBSERVATIONS ON THE INCREASED RENTAL OF LANDS IN BELCHAMP, a.d. 1240, pp. 118—121. This document, which exhibits an increase made in the rent payable by the tenants of certain lands of the demesne termed il inlands ” to the amount of one-half of the former rent, illustrates the statement in the Introduction (p. viii.), that increase of rent was to be obtained by the lords of manors only for newly inclosed lands, or for lands belonging to the demesne. These tenants had held their lands “ sine auctoritate capituli,” that is, at the will of the firmarius, and it is to be remarked, that the proposal to increase the rent came from the tenants themselves, “ infrascripti tenentes augmentave- runt redditum assisum,” on the condition that they should hold under the chapter, “ ut auctoritas capituli interveniret.” It is probable, that thus holding of the chapter, they acquired a permanent and hereditary right in the land; the survey of Runwell in 122*2 (pp. 70, 71) containing a record of a similar increase in the rent of lands in the demesne, with the addition “ de cremento per capitulum, ut sit perpetuum.” The number of the tenants in this document is 31. In ten instances either the tenants or their family may be identified in the survey of 1222, viz. Henr’ Pictor, Rogerus fil’ Rob’, Johannes Pelliparius, Henr’ dux, Auicia relicta Giliberti suoris, Will’ de Petewinshale, Lambertus faber, Rob’tus leffrich, et Will’s Mot. carpentarius A similar identification might be made from the survey of 1279, as compared with this list in 1240. With respect to the tenants of the demesne of this manor of Belchamp, it is remarkable, that the information respecting them in the documents of St. Paul’s relates to four periods, the years 1181, 1222, 1240, 1279. Hugo de St. Edmund, here mentioned as Custos Manerii, was Prebendary of Ealdstreet, and 1250 Archdeacon of Colchester. CAMD. SOC. n NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE LEASES OF THE MANORS OF ST. PAUL’S DURING THE TWELFTH CENTURY, pp. 122—139. Of these documents, seventeen in number, sixteen relate to the manors of Wicham, Cadendun, Run well, Adulvesnasa, Barling, Bernes, Kens- wurth, Belchamp, Nastock, Sandun, Chingeford, and Ardeley, and one to a property at Twyford, which is recorded in the Exchequer Domesday (Middx.) as belonging to the Canons of St. Paul’s, but which, being held as a distinct prebend, and not forming a part of the “ communa,” was not included in the Inquisition of 1222. These documents, as recorded in Book L (fol. 32 — 46), are transcripts of leases, which, as appears from the lease of Belchamp (p. 138), were executed in two parts and indented ; as to their date, they are earlier by several years than the Chartse of the same kind in Madox’s Formulare Anglicanum, and they form the commencement of a series of similar documents now remaining in the archives of St. Paul’s, under which, modified from time to time as fresh conditions were added to the lease, the Canons who were Residentiaries held the Manors of the cathedral as lessees to the end of the fifteenth century. Page 122. Hcec est conventus inter capitulum . . . et Hob er tum filium Ailwini sacerdotis . — It appears from the names of the witnesses to this lease that Ailwinus the priest had four sons, Robert, William, Ranulph, and Flenry. Whether matrimony was allowed or not to priests, it is thus certain, that in that age they did not disown their children. Among the witnesses in the next lease (p. 124) we find Waiter the son of the Bishop. Debet reddere Robertas ; and p. 123, Debet Ailwinus reddere. — The scribe, in making out the lease to Robert the son, of a property held by Ailwinus the father, appears to have copied the original lease to Ailwinus without properly altering the name. The names of the witnesses do not supply the means of determining the date of this lease, which is in sub- stance as old as that of Ailwinus the father of Robert, and is upon the face of it a transfer of the lease from the father to the son. LEASES OE THE MANORS OF ST. PAUL'S. XC1 In festo S'cti Martini , et S’cti Joannis Baptista?. — The firma of Wicham, originally payable at these feasts, continued to be paid on nearly the same days, and at the same intervals, at a much later period. (See the Tables, p. 155-159.) Sexdecem boves quemque preciatum xxviii.d. — The prices, which are affixed to the different kinds of live stock in these leases, being those payable at the end of the lease, may be assumed to represent their ordinary value ; oxen and horses being worth 3s. ; sheep 3d., Ad., and 5c?. ; and goats 4c?. ; boars and sows from 8c?. to 12c?. ; pigs, varying according to their size and age, from a penny for a sucking-pig, to 4c?., 5c?., 8c?., and 12c?. We have to remark, that the lowest prices for horses and oxen are those fixed in this lease to Robert the son of Ailwin, the horses being valued at 2s. 6c?. instead of 3s., and the oxen at 2s. 4c?., the values being reduced from those in the lease held by his father. A goat also in the father’s lease was valued at 6c?., but in the son’s at 4c?. The prices of the stock in the lease of Sandun (p. 134), granted in 1155, are interesting, as showing a great variety in the values of the horses on that manor ; the careta- rius equus being worth 6s. 2c?-, others 5s., 4s., and 2s. There was a similar difference in the value of oxen of 5s. 4c?., 5s., and 3s. The two leases of Ardele (pp. 135, 136), (the first of which was granted in 1141), show also similar differences of value ; in the former, horses and oxen were valued at 3s. ; but in the latter, the horses were valued at 3s. and 6s., the oxen at 3s. and 2s. Cum vii. denariis elemosince . — This sum was received every week by the Almoner : it was probably applied, not to the poor generally, but to the “ pueri elemosinarise,” or choristers, as they were afterwards termed. Tripes cum mammola. — A three-legged stool with a hand-mill. In the inventory of Wicham, in 1279 (I. 97), the word is “mola manualis.” Or reum. — The dimensions here given of the height from the floor to the principal beam (trabes'); from the principal to the ridge ( festum ); the lateral distance between the pillars ( postes ) ; the breadth of the wing or aisle (cc?ci) ; and the whole length, with the hipped bays or lean-to at the end of the barn (cwm culaciis), exhibit the entire structure of the barn. Page 123. Orr cum plenum de mancor no — plenum frumenti — plenum avena.— As the tenant generally received in stock on his entering upon the manor the produce of the former year, so at the termination of the lease xen NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS he left behind the same quantity. The stock of corn and cattle thus put into the tenants’ hands was equivalent to so much capital towards carrying on the work of the farm. Page 123. Contra castella. If we accept the definition of Wardpeny, as given by Spelman, “ Denarii Vicecomiti vel aliis Castellanis persoluti ob castrorum praesidium vel excubias,” we may infer that Wardpeny is the payment here alluded to, though described in an unusual manner. Page 124. Totum bladum manerii. — The produce of a whole year. Ad liberationem . — For wages to the members of the cathedral. (See Introduction, p. xlvii.) Page 125. Adquietavit ipse Ricardus. — As the tenant of Wicham guaranteed to protect the rights of the villa against the usual demands of the County (see page 123), so here there was an engagement to defend the like right against the King, and specially against penalties for u sartum,” or breaking up forest land. The influence of Richard the Archdeacon with the Chapter must have been powerful to procure him permission to name the Canon, who should succeed him in the lease. The mention of his purpose to plant a vineyard, dividing the wine made between himself, his successor, and the Chapter, and the engagement on the part of the Chapter to confirm all the agreements, which the Archdeacon should make wflth the tenants as respected rents, are proofs, that the taking the lease was really a com- mercial speculation. Reddet in die anniversarii ejus.- — A payment for an obit on the anni- versary of his death and the performance of a mass. Adulvesnasa. — This extensive manor comprised a large district in the hundred of Tendring and county of Essex, containing three parishes, Thorpe, Kirkby, and Walton, called at this day, with reference to the ancient manorial jurisdiction of the Chapter, “ The Sokens.” Of all the Manors possessed by the cathedral it lay at the greatest distance, and pro- bably was on that account not included in the number of the Manors which rendered the firmse every week at St. Paul’s. At the end of the twelfth century the rent of this Manor was 45/., but when Richard de Newport, as Prebendary of Islington, held the lease (prior to 1304) the annual rent paid by him for the Manor and the tithes was 104/. in quarterly payments. (I. 167.) Sine omnimoda hereditate.- — A provision, combined with those which follow, barring the heirs of the lessee from any claim of possession. That OP THE LEASES OF THE MANORS OF ST. PAUL’S. xdii this was not an unnecessary precaution, is shown by proceedings which took place in 46 Hen. I II. in a cause before the Justices in Eyre, at Chelmsford, in which Richard de Tilbury brought an ejectment against the then Firmarius of the Manor and Church of Tillingham, alleging that he was the grand- son and heir of Richard de Tillingham his grandfather, who had died siezed in fee of the premises ; the fact being, that this Richard had no other interest in the premises, except that as his father and uncle were the Firmarii of the Manor, and his uncle also Firmarius of the Church under the Chapter ; he himself was born in the Manor House. The Dean and Chapter appeared to answer in behalf of their tenant, and the case went to a jury ; the verdict was in favour of the Chapter, and Richard de Tilbury was “ in misericordia pro falso clamore.” (Book I. fob 72b.) Page 126. Implementum. — The term “implementum” appears, from the expression “ implementum bladi de meliori blado,” to have a particular reference to produce. At page 138 we find “ instauramenta,” and also “ implementa.” Possibly the quantities of corn, which were part of the stock, were called “implementa,” as filling prescribed portions of the barns. In constantiis, i. e. (see pp. 1 29, 132, “pistrini et bracini”). Constantiae, expensae ; Du Cange. — Under the term “ constantiae ” it would seem, that not only wood for fuel in baking and brewing was included, but also the wages of the brewer and baker ; for in later times there was paid with each firma 6s. 8d. for wood and 3s. 10c?. for “ liberatio famulorum.” Ad communitatem. — The chapter was termed “ Communitas ; ” the common fund divisible among them, “ Communia.” Page 127. Recepti sunt fratres , &c. — These persons were most pro- bably not received as Canons, but only admitted to the privilege of “ Frater- nity ” (see Du Cange and Hoffman in voce), as is shewn by the expression, “tam beneficiis quam orationibus.” This phrase, as denoting the advantage of masses and of prayers, occurs in a charter of the middle of the thirteenth century, now in the archives of St. Paul’s, which (after reciting that Alexander the cordwainer and Roysia his wife had given to the Church of St. Augustine at the gate of St. Paul’s a piece of ground on the north side of the church sixteen feet wide towards the north, and fifteen feet in length towards the west, for the extension of the church and the erection of an altar to the Virgin) further states; that in return for this gift the Rector of the church, with the consent of the Dean and Chapter, had agreed “ quod XC1V NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS ego Alexander et Alicia uxor mea (defuncta), et Roysia uxor mea, participes erimus de omnibus beneficiis et orationibus , quae in dicta ecclesia fuerint in perpetuum. Concessit etiam pro se et successoribus suis, quod specialiter in dicta ecclesia nominatim erimus in diebus dominicis, in precibus commu- nibus pro benefactoribus ejusdem ecclesiae, et quod in singulis missis, quae in eodem altari Beatae Mariae virginis celebrabuntur, specialiter dicetur collecta pro anima mea, uxorum et benefactorum meorum.” It is probable that the “ Confrariae ” of which mention is made in the “ Extenta terrarum Hospitalis S. Johannis Jerusalem in Anglia,” recently- published by the Camden Society, as always attendant upon every Pre- ceptory, and whose voluntary contributions formed a considerable part of its revenues, were fraternities of persons, who shared the benefit of the prayers of the order. We may observe, that a Preceptory inhabited by two or three or more members of the order would hardly be lonely, when surrounded by a confraternity of persons living in society, sharing the religious exercises of the order, and contributing voluntarily, but liberally, to its revenues. Gersuma . — This Anglo-Saxon word denotes any kind of compensation, whether in the way of purchase or reward, or for damages. The ten shil- lings here called gersuma was the premium or fine paid for the grant of the lease. Lancept . — A varied form of landceap or landcop, money given for the possession or purchase of land. (See Laws of Ethelred, iii. 3. Du Cange. Bosworth’s A.-S. Dictionary.) Pro eorum anirnabus , &c. — On the death of the survivor any property in the manor belonging to the tenant was to be accounted a legacy to the Chapter, to be disposed of to pious uses for the souls of the deceased tenants. De Tuiferde . — This document is peculiarly interesting, as relating to one of those portions of the cathedral property which formed the “pre- benda,” or separate estate of one of the canons. (See Introduction, pp. iii. iv ) The exact time at which each of the thirty canons of the cathedral received an estate for their maintenance apart from the “ communa,” or general fund, and became entitled “ Prebendarii, de Tuiferd, de Willesdon, de Neasdon,” &c. is involved in obscurity. We may, however, trace the commencement of the system, as respects the cathedral of St. Paul, in the OF THE LEASES OF THE MANORS OF ST. PAUL*S. XCV instances, which are recorded in the Exchequer Domesday, of Canons of the cathedral holding- separate estates. In Tuiferd, Durandus and Gueri each held two hides. In Rugemere, Radulphus, a canon, had a similar holding. At St- Pancras, Walter, a canon, also held one hide. The property which after- wards constituted the two prebends of Cadington was at that time held by the Canons, but w r as not yet made “ prebendal.” (See note, u Praeter duas prae- bendas,” p lxiii.) With respect to the property at Tuiferd here mentioned., it is interesting to observe, that the same Durandus who held it in 1086 was alive in 1103, and that his name appears in the catalogue given in Newcourt’s Repertorium (vol. i. p. 217) as the first prebendary of Twyford. The property was subsequently held for a few years, as we learn from this charter, by Reynerus, and was then surrendered by him to the Chapter in favour of Walter de Cranford and his daughter. The rent payable is remarkable, as consisting of five shillings in money, and also the tithes of corn, sheep, and goats. Twenty shillings — a sum equal to four times the money-rent — was also to be paid at the death of the sur- viving tenant as an obit, on the interment of his or her body at the cathedral. Page 128. De Kenswurda. — -This manor, though it joined Cadington, never paid its rent in “ firmae,” but, as the manor of Edulvesnasa, in money. The terms of the lease are remarkable, if the words “ sic deinceps ” are to be literally understood, for it w r ould seem that the rent varied in a cycle of seven years. The first year’s rent being 51., that of the second 61., of the third 7 ?., of the fourth 81,, of the fifth, sixth, and seventh 10?., reverting again at the beginning of the second seven years to 5L In 1279 the rent of the manor was £20 13s. 4c?., and the value of the church twenty-eight marks, £18 13s. 4c?. Ecclesiam liberam ab omni persona, — See Introduction, pp. xliv. xlv. Bladum Ixx. aerarum. — The demesne lands were generally cultivated in three courses, or seasons, as they were termed. In this manor the three courses were, seventy acres in winter corn, seventy acres in spring corn, and eighty in fallow, “ Warectatse.” Page 129. Holla hujus manerii.—The manor house consisted of three parts — the halla, the domus, and the thalamus. Their respective heights were 22 feet, 17 feet, and 18 feet: if they ranged in succession the whole length was 35 + 12 -j- 22 = 69 feet. The measurements above and below XCY1 NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS the beam indicate that each room was open to the roof, and that the roof resembled that of a barn.* JRicardus Archid' ut teneret Edolvesnasa.— The former lease of this manor to William de Occhenden has been noticed at p. 125. It here appears, that on his death Richard the Archdeacon of Essex bought the lease of that manor by paying 20 marcs “ in gersumam.” From the account here given of his conduct in bargaining with the Chapter to hold Belchamp with Edulvesnasa, and extorting their consent to the non-fulfil- ment on his part of all the conditions on which he obtained the two manors, it would seem that he was not a favourite amongst his brethren. He is sup- posed to have been archdeacon 1142 to 1168. He appears to have been a different person from Ricardus Ruffus, who, a few years later, at the time of the inquisition of Ralph de Diceto in 1181 (see page 111), had accu- mulated to himself a large share of the cathedral possessions, holding at that time, together with Edulvesnasa and Belchamp, the manors of Barling and Run well, with a moiety of the manor of Sandone. Richard the Arch- deacon and Richard Ruffus are both of them mentioned as having at the same time an interest in the church and manor of Runwell. (See page 150.) Page 181. Homines ex duobus Orlocis. — Waleton, Kyrkby, and Thorp were the ecclesiastical divisions of the great manor of Edulvesnasa in 1181 (see pp. 148, 149). In the inquisition of 1222 the Hidarii of Kirkby and Horlock are enumerated together, and only one Horlock mentioned. A change appears to have been afterwards made in the duty of repairing buildings here mentioned. At the time of granting this lease the tenants were to repair the four houses of the court, but not the great barn ; whereas in 1222 the granarium of Waleton was to be repaired with timber felled, and prepared, and carried by them, and the ox house, “ bovaria,’’ (but not its lean-to, “ culacium,”) made at their own cost of labour. (See p. 48.) Adhuc in curia ilia sunt , &c. — Inventories of the live and dead stock received, and to be rendered by the firmarius at the termination of his lease, continued for several centuries to form a part of the leases granted by the Chapter, the same articles of household furniture, tools, and utensils being, as it would seem, handed down from generation to generation. The follow- * In other leases, those of Adulvesnasa (pp. 131, 132), of Sandun (p. 134), of Ardeleia (pp. 136, 137), the buildings of the manor-house are mentioned, but without the accurate account of the dimensions as here given.

Ad curiam pertinent singulis septimanis Ixix. opera.— -In the inquisition of 1279 there is a list of the names of all the persons, 63 in number, from whom the “ opera,” or day-works here mentioned, were due. The obligation was proportionate to the quantity of land, one day’s labour per week being due for every five acres held by the tenant (see page 5 1 , line 18). The whole amount of the labour here mentioned, at 69 days per week, is equal to that of eleven and a half men. The demesne land of Waleton in 1222 contained 720 acres, towards the cultivation of which that number of men would supply no inconsiderable part of the necessary labour. Aeree de w aveto , rebinatce , faldatce , seminatce. — The nine score acres “ de wareto ” here mentioned probably formed a third course or “ seisio ” of the demesne lands, of which we read at p 133, “ Tota seisio waretata.” The words “ rebinatae, faldatae, seminatae,'’ shew the actual condition of the fallow or wareta ; part was rebinata , twice ploughed (Du Cange) ; another part faldata , folded with sheep for manure ; and another seminata , sown ; the remainder was still wareta , or fallow. At p. 133, To the firmarius. Belchamp. One mark. i It is to be remarked that the churches of Runwell and Chingford made no similar payments to the Chapter, and that they are said not to be “ in dominio canonicorum.” The church of Kyrkebi was the only church “ in dominio ” that made no such payment. Quid ecclesiae matrici jure parochiali solvatur. — The single instance of such a payment is that made to the church of Fifhyde or Fifield by the manor of Norton (see page 150), u propter vicinitatem Christianitatis,” for that proximity, of which the people of Norton availed themselves, in frequenting the church of Fifield and partaking in religious ordinances. Quid solvatur pro sinodalibus. — This payment is distinguished from one afterwards mentioned — that to the Archdeacons. By the Canon law, (De off. Jud. Ordin. c. Conquerente,) a Bishop holding a Synod was entitled to receive the sum of two shillings from every person cited to it, the payment being termed “ Synodaticum ; ” the object of the provision being, as is stated by Barbosa (De Off. et Potest. Episcopi, p. 41, alleg. 130, n. 4), that of tempting the bishops to hold their synods; “ Ut episcopi ad synodum celebrandam alliciantur.” The Synodalia of the English Church appear to have a different origin, and to be connected with the ancient system of ecclesiastical justice, which existed under the Anglo-Saxon kings, by which ecclesiastical causes were tried in the court of the hundred. The separation of the ecclesiastical from the secular courts was made by the Conqueror (Carta Willielmi, Laws of England, vol. i. p. 495) ; but the fact mentioned by Lindwood (De Constitu. c. Quia Incontin. verb. Capitulum, p. 14), and cited by Gibson (Codex, p. 973), that Ruri-decanal Chapters were in some places held from three weeks to CXY1 NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS three weeks, according to the practice of the manorial courts, renders it highly probable, that the ecclesiastical courts, which were formed by separa- tion from the secular courts, continued to meet as before ; and that, as the Turn of the sheriff or Shiremot was held twice in the year, the Synodus of the bishop for ecclesiastical causes was held twice in the year also. The Synodalia were payable at Easter and at Michaelmas — at the first and second synod ; but in process of time the holding these half-yearly courts seems to have devolved upon the Archdeacons, who now in many places hold visitations or synods at Easter and at Michaelmas in every year. It is remarkable that Lindwood, in the passage cited above, speaks of the custom of holding chapters from three weeks to three weeks, as resting rather upon the Custom (or Common law) of England, than upon the Common law of the Church at large. Quis colligat denarium S'cti Petri .- — There can be little doubt, that Peter-pence was a grant of Alms to the Popes in the time of the Anglo- Saxon kings ; the earliest date assigned to it being the reign of Ina, who became king of Wessex in G88, and after a reign of thirty-two years retired to Rome. The payment of the denarius S. Petri, or Romfeoh, was the subject of legislation by Edward and Guthrum (circa 900), by Edgar (959), by Ethelred (998), by Canute (1017), by Edward the Confessor (1043). It also forms a part of the laws of the Conqueror and of Hen. I. (See the references, Denar. S. Petri, in Spelman’s Concilia, and Romfeoh, Laws of England.) Prior, however, to the Law of Edward the Confessor (§ x) the Anglo-Saxon code affords no information as to the persons from whom the Romfeoh was due ; but that law, as explained by the law of William (I. xvii), acquaints us, that the possessor of agricultural stock of the value of thirty pence,* being an Englishman, and of the value of eighty pence (half a mark), being a Dane, was liable to Romfeoh, and that the payment by them of one penny acquitted their bordarii, and herdsmen, and servants. It appears also from the law of William, that a payment by * In the Life of Offa (Matt. Paris, pp. 29, 31), it is stated that Offa’s original grant was that of one silver piece from those who possessed cattle of the value of thirty silver pieces. It is also stated, that, when that monarch granted Peter-pence from his whole kingdom, he reserved the Peter-pence from the lands of St. Alban to the use of the Abbey. These lands in later times included the parishes which formed the hundred of Cashio, and the Abbatial archdeaconry of St. Alban’s, in the county of Herts. OF THE INQUISITION OF THE CHURCHES, A.D. 1181. CXvii the lord of a manor was an acquittance for all who were in his demesne. The festival of St. Peter ad Vincula (August 1) was the day on which Romfeoh was due ; and the Law of the Northumbrian Priests (§ 57, Laws of England, vol. ii. p. 299) enacted, that the payment should be made il at the episcopal seat, and that in every wapentake there should be named two true thanes and one priest, who should collect it and render it, so that they dare swear to it.” The Inquisition of the Churches of St. Paul’s, in 1181, to which our attention is now directed, illustrates both the mode of collection and the payment of the Romfeoh a century later than the laws above recited. The question “ quis colligat denarium S. Petri?” implies the absence of uniformity as to the collection of the tax. In six instances no return was made to the question ; but from the replies which are recorded we learn, that the rural dean ( decanus loci ) collected it in Cadendon and Kensworth, the Sacerdos at Belchamp and six other places, and the Firmarius at Chingford and Sutton. Of the person, to whom the money was paid, mention is made only in two places, Cadendon and Kensworth, where the rural dean is said to have paid the money to the Archdeacon. The collec- tion from Barnes, in Surrey, was paid at Wimendon ; but in two instances, Norton and Sutton, the Firmarius, having collected the money, kept it to himself. Twelve parishes made the following payments : — Belchamp . . xvi d. Tillingham . . xvi d. Wicham . vi d. Berling . . . x d. Waleton . . xvi d. Nortune . . . vi d. Kyrkeby . , . xvi d. Nastok . . xxxvi d. Thorp . xvi d. Chingford . x d. Tidwoldentuna . vi d. Drayton . • . xii d. The Domesday of St. Paul’s of 1222 makes no mention of Peter-pence. But from the Inquisition of 1279, in Book I. we learn, that at Sutton, at Chingford, and at Norton, the persons who paid the Rome-penny were Villain tenants ; that married men paid a penny, widowers and widows one halfpenny, and that the amount so received was reckoned among the profits of the Manor. At Sutton these payments were due in the 18 Edw. I. (1289), not from all the Villain tenants, but only from twenty-five of them (L 32 b). At Chingford the sum collected from the “ Nativi” was 2s. 6d. CXV111 NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS (I. 59b), and in the small manor of Norton, held by seven “Nativi,” the sum collected was Id. (I. 150 b.) The information which we possess respecting the payment of this tax to the Court of Rome is very meagre. Inett (History of the English Church, p. 223), misapprehending the Statute of Carlisle of 35 Edw. I. (which pro- hibited the superiors of the monastic orders abroad from levying taxes upon abbeys and monasteries in England), states, but without authority, that Peter-pence was one of the grievances of the English nation. The amount of the tax was scarcely great enough to give it this character. In Wilkins’s Concilia (vol. ii. p. 469,) there is a papal bull of John XXIL, which first recites a bull (supposed to be of Gregory VI.,) in which the sums payable as Peter-pence from each English diocese are recorded ; and then states, that the three hundred mancusae or marks, which were originally granted in 837, are just the amount of the sums due from the dioceses. This Pope, in the first year of his pontificate, directed the atten- tion of the English bishops to the fact, that Peter-pence, though collected, were not duly paid to the Court of Rome, but, as is evident from the documents recorded in Wilkins’s Concilia ( ib .) he did not expect a greater sum to be paid than 300 marks. The Bulls on this subject are dated in the month of May, 1317, and it is remarkable, that the Chapter of Canterbury, in reply to a Breve regium of Edward II., dated 24 April of that year, had returned answer to the king the day following, that in obedience to the king’s writ they had searched their records, and had found no writing relative to the exaction of this tax. This pope by his Bull appointed Rigandus de Asserio, a Canon of Orange, to superintend the business of the collection and payment of the Peter-pence. It is probable, that during the whole of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries persons were sent from time to time to England on the same business, though the only person, who is known to have resided in England as collector of the Peter-pence, was the last, namely, Polydore Vergil, an Italian of Urbino, who lived here for forty years, was archdeacon of Wells and prebendary of Hereford, and in the 4 Edw. VI. had leave granted to him to return to his own country, the profits of his archdeaconry and prebend being continued to him by patent for his life. (Strype’s Memorials, vol. iii. p. 499, ed. 1822.) Quid solvatur Archidiaconis , fyc . — The Peter-pence were, in a few instances, paid to the archdeacons. In two parishes distinct mention is OF THE INQUISITION OF THE CHURCHES, A.D. 1181. cxix made of xiid. being paid to the Archdeacon in the middle of Lent, but of the origin and purpose of the payment at that season we have found no account. Quis ecclesiarum ornatus , diligenter annexum invenies in sequentibus,— The expectation thus held out, as respects the visitation of 1 181, is unhappily disappointed. Book L. (fol. 83 to 85) does indeed contain an account of the ornaments and books of twenty churches in the city of London at that period, but the folios apparently intended for the inquisition of the Country churches are blank. It is, however, to be observed, that in the same volume (fob 136-143) there is a record of the visitation of these Country churches in the year 1241, and that there is a fuller record still of another visita- tion of them in 1279 in book I. Servit capellae quae est in curia , fyc.— -The service most probably was a Mass ; its performance three days in the week is a curious illustration of attention to religion in the private oratories of the lords and great men. Chapels were of frequent occurrence in Manor houses. One at Waleton has been already mentioned. At Sutton (I. 24) there was “ Una aula cum boteleria ad unum caput, cum parva capella ad aliud caput and also “ Unum solarium cum parva capella tegulis coopertum.” At Nastok (I. 79), in like manner, there was ‘-Una aula cum camera et capella ad caput .... Item solarium tegulatum ad opus domini cum capella contigua cum scindulis cooperta and “Una camera cum trisantia prope capellam.” At Heybridge (I. 166), also, there was “Solarium cum capella de construc- tione Herveii de Borham (Dean circa 1271) cum duobus caminis de plastro Paris.” Page 148. Juxta calceiam de Clare. — Calceia, via strata , a causeway, Fr. Chaussee. The river Stour divides Belchamp from Clare, the passage of which was probably facilitated by the causeway. Page 150. Socca frumenti,— Probably the same as saccus, a sack. Page 151. Scotlande thesaurarii. — The demesne thus described was probably the Solanda de Chys wick, within the manor of Sutton (see p. 93), forming the prebend of Chiswick, which about the year 1181 was held by Ricardus Thesaurarius (see Newcourt’s Repertorium, vol. i. p. 137), so called as being the king’s treasurer. De duabus villatis. — i.e. of Chiswick and of Sutton. Page 152. — De dominio magistri Nicholai et de dominio magistri cxx NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS David.— -This Nicolas was probably Nicolas Scriba, who was Prebendary of Harleston, within the manor of Willesdon, in the time of the Survey. The dominium or demesne described as held by David w r as probably one of the other prebends within the manor of Willesdon. The name of David is not found amongst the prebendaries of that period. Viii. acvce de la Cnolle .— Cnolle is probably the word now spelt “ knoll,” a small hill or rising ground. The Cnolle appears to have con- tained sixteen acres, and to have been at a distance from Wilsdon, in the manor of Sutton, of which Chiswick was a part. In the inquisition of Belchamp mention is made of a “ communa,” common or open space, called the Knoll. “ Non habetur aliquid communae in villa nisi ilia strata, quae vocatur la Cknolle.” i. 106. In tempore Wulmanni . — Wulman or Ulstan, as he is otherwise called, was the first Dean of St. Paul’s after the Conquest. This account of the firmae rendered by the manors in the original MS. follows as closely as it is here printed, and is in the same handwriting. It appears to be a transcript of a similar account on the first folio of Book 1., there written in an earlier hand. We have to apprise the reader that the clause u Nastocha Aldwini duas septimanas et duos dies,” is twice repeated in the original MS., as is the clause u Runwella duas septimanas.” In both cases the copyist committed an error in inserting Runwell twice, and in writing “ Nastocha Aldwini ” instead of u Nastocha Edwini,” there being two manors of that name in the Exchequer Domesday, both of them belonging to the Chapter of St. Paul’s. The scribe has also made another error, writing li Tillingham tres septi- manas,” instead of quatuor , as in the older document. OF THE INQUISITION OF THE MANORS, A/D. 1290. cxxi NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE ARTICULI VISITATIONIS MANERIORUM S’CTI PAULI, circa 1290. The date 1290 has been assigned to these Articles of Visitation, because they are found recorded in Book I. immediately following the “ Redditus et Consuetudines ” of the manor of Nastok, which were written subse- quently to the feast of St. Michael, 20 Edw. L, 1291. These articles are preceded by a Catalogue of Evidences relating to that Manor, thirty-eight in number. In the Statutes of the Realm (vol. I. p. 242) there is a similar set of Articles, entitled “ Extenta Maneriorum,” transcribed from the “ Liber Horn ” now in the archives of the city of London ; and it is stated, that in printed copies of the Statutes these articles are inserted as a statute of 4 Edw. I. Fleta (Book II. c. lxxi.) recommends the use of such an “exten- sion” of the particulars of a manor, and inserts Articles of inquisition, which, with some omissions, appear to be the same with those in the (l Liber Horn.” The “ Extenta,” or Articles, as here given from the St. Paul’s document, the first clause excepted, are more full and complete, especially with respect to the praedial services of the tenants, than they are in the Liber Horn, or in Fleta’s copy. Page 153*. Curtilagium . — Defined by Lindwood (III. tit. 17, p. 200,) as the place adjoining the Court, where greens and pot-herbs (herbae et olera) are gathered. Vivarium . — A purely Latin word, applied equally to the park, the aviary, the fish-stew, or the oyster-bed . See Facciolati in voce. Herbagium . — The word has two meanings : the right of cutting grass and feeding cattle, or the place where the herbage grows. It is here used in the latter sense. Carucata . — A plough-land. We learn from Fleta (II. 72, § 4,) that the dimension of the Carucata (as denoting a quantity of land cultivated by the plough in a year,) varied, according to the number of courses of cultivation to which the land was subject. If the land lay in three courses, 60 acres being sown in winter, 60 in spring, and 60 fallowed in summer, then the 180 acres so ploughed formed the Carucata ; but if the land was in two courses, CAMD. SOC. r CXX11 NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS one half being fallow and the other half sown in winter and spring, then the Carucata would contain only 160 acres. Hence it would seem, that culti- vated land would be measured in Carucates, and any breadth of land in general by Hides. The general idea, however, is that “Hida” and “Caru- cata ” are synonymous.* Quot campi sunt in dominio . — In the survey of Sutton (I. 33) 299 acres are described, as contained in seven “campi,” or fields, viz. Suthfild, Breche, Hamstal, Estfild, Northfild, Westfild, Eldefild, the largest contain- ing ninety, the smallest only nine acres. There was also another campus called La Doune, of twenty-three acres and a-half. This division and measurement were made by Fulco Lovell, a canon and archdeacon of Colchester, ob. 1287. Qualibet seisione distinguuntur . — The seisiones or courses of the arable land in the Demesne of Nastok are thus described in I. 77 : Sunt etiam in dicto manerio tres seysones terrae arabilis, viz.

In Fleta, II. 73, § 1, “ appruator ” is applied to the agent or servant, who manages an estate to the advantage of his lord, “ appruator fidelis et optimus.” Pastura forinseca. — “ Item est in dicto manerio pastura forinseca, quae communis est ad parochiam ; in qua dominus potest habere L. bovettos, et valet libere deductis expensis vj.sol.

De pesuagiis. — “ Pesuagium,” a form of “ pannagium,” connected with the Latin “ pastus,” and the French “ paisson.” Graveris. — Pits of sand or gravel. De liberis tenentibus qui intrinsici vel forinseci. — “ Of freeholders, the which dwell without as well as within, that is to say, how many freeholders there be.” In the Inquisitions of St. Paul’s we do not find the “ forinseci” distinguished from the “ intrinsici tenentes.” The object of this article of the Inquisition, as we may gather from the English translation (Stat. Realm, I. p. 242), appears to have been simply this, that whether the tenants were dwelling within the manor or not, their names and tenements should be recorded.* Item ad quas consuetudines teneantur. — It is to be remarked, that the persons concerning whose customary services inquiry was thus made, were in the condition of the “ liberi homines.” If it were admitted, that anciently the freeman was not bound to any services of this kind, this article of * It is however probable that such tenants of a manor as dwelt there, but were liable to services in other places, were termed “ forinseci.” In the Rot.

Pedhalsaker and JBedemad . — Read Bedehalfaker. In I. 71, we have an account of both these services, as due from tenants in the manor of Nastock. Bedhalfaker is the service of mowing half an acre, “ Falcabit dimidiam aeram prati pro Bedehalfaker.” “ Bedmad” is the service of mowing, whether as described in I. 69, “ quinque acras de Bedemad,” or as in I. 71, i( adjuvabit ad Bedemad per unum diem.” Precarite siccce . — Boon-days without allowance of drink. Cherchesed . — Churchsed (or Cyricsceat) is defined by Fleta, I. c. 45, § 28, as a certain measure of wheat, which every one offered on St. Martin’s day to the Church, it being not only an English, but a British custom. Sir H. Ellis, in his Introduction to Domesday, has noticed the various passages in that record, in which mention is made of this payment, and from which it appears, that the annual payment of corn in kind had been commuted in various places for money. The law of Hen. I. (xi. 4) recognises Cyricsceat, as a payment due at Martinmas to the Bishop, under the ancient penalty mentioned in the Domesday of Worcester (fob 174), of a fine of eleven times the amount, if the Cyricsceat were not paid on the day. Sir H. Ellis also brings to notice a payment made to the manor of Glastonbury in 1201 of sixty hens as Churchset. The records of St. Paul’s do not throw any light upon this custom, but the instances which occur in the Inquisition of the county of Oxford, 7 Edw. I. (Rot. Hundr. vol. II. p. 688,) of cocks and hens paid to the lord of the manor of Iftlee by Cotarii (p. 712), by Servi at Sunecumbe (757), by the tenants denominated “ Carucarii ” at Wytchurch (776), by Servi custumarii at Stoke Bassett (779), by Villani at Lewknor of a quarter of wheat (782), and at Wallington by tenants of the same class of six bushels of wheat, seem to shew, not only that Cyricsceat was a tax then borne by the lower orders of tenants, but also that at the close of the thirteenth century the lords of manors had converted to their own use the payments anciently due to the Church. Had not the pope appointed his collectors, Rompeny might probably have shared the same fate, Galunselver. — Quaere, Gallinaselver, money in lieu of fowls. Calces . — “ Calces ” are “ Causeways.” As connected with the care of sheep in marsh land, they were probably pathways of hard material. OF THE INQUISITION OF THE MANORS, A.D. 1290.

Quantum dabit pro sua filia maritanda. — The marriage of the daughters of the nativi or serfs, by removing the population from the manor, was a loss to the lord. This appears to be the foundation of the well-known payment termed “ merchetum.” At Belchamp (I. 106) we read, “ Nullus custumarius extra villam suam filiam sine licentia maritabit. Custumarius filiam custumarii sine licentia domini accipiat in conjugem in villa. Sed custumarius maritabit filiam suam liberis in villa, non extra, sine licentia.” At Sandon (1. 145) we read, “ Custumarii item dicunt, quod pro filiabus suis maritandis consueverunt solvere domino ij. solidos tantum.” At Wicham (I. 97), “ Omnes tenentes facient finem ad volun- tatem domini pro filiabus suis extra manerium maritandis.” Page 155 # . Qui possunt talliari ad voluntatem domini et qui non . — Taille, Tallagium, that which is paid as a tax or excise. Any public tax was termed Tallagium, as we learn from the statute of 25 Edw. 1. “ Nullum tallagium vel auxilium per nos vel per hseredes nostros in regno ponetur vel leveter sine voluntate et consensu,” &c. The taillage to which this article of Inquisition refers, was that which any lord of a manor might impose upon his tenants, and, as may be gathered from the wider terms in which the article is set forth in Fleta (II. c. 71, § 15), was limited by the rank of the tenant, whether “ custumarius ” or “ nativus.” The tenement of the cus- tomary tenant might be liable to yearly taillage, but the amount was such as could be paid “ sine destructione et exilio (qu. exitio) faciendo;” but there was no limit to the demand, which the lord might make upon the servus or nativus, or upon him who, holding, according to Bracton, in pure villenage (IV. c. 28, § 5), was bound to unlimited service, “semper tenebitur ad incerta,” and could be taxed at the will of the lord, either more or less, or, according to the terms of the French Chartee, “alto et basso.” Whether the lords of manors were accustomed to exercise this right of taillage without restriction, is questionable, but there is every reason to believe, that the right of taillage upon the tenants gave the lord the power of throwing the burden of any public taxation upon the cultivator of the soil, and that taillage operated in favour of the lord, like the cove- nants in modern leases by which the tenant engages to meet the taxation. The following extracts from the Rotuli Hundredorum, Com. Oxon. 7° Edw. I are a few of numerous instances of the right of taillage upon tenants of different ranks : — CXY1 NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS three weeks, according to the practice of the manorial courts, renders it highly probable, that the ecclesiastical courts, which were formed by separa- tion from the secular courts, continued to meet as before ; and that, as the Turn of the sheriff or Shiremot was held twice in the year, the Synodus of the bishop for ecclesiastical causes was held twice in the year also. The Synodalia were payable at Easter and at Michaelmas — at the first and second synod ; but in process of time the holding these half-yearly courts seems to have devolved upon the Archdeacons, who now in many places hold visitations or synods at Easter and at Michaelmas in every year. It is remarkable that Lindwood, in the passage cited above, speaks of the custom of holding chapters from three weeks to three weeks, as resting rather upon the Custom (or Common law) of England, than upon the Common law of the Church at large. Quis colligat denarium S'cti Petri .- — There can be little doubt, that Peter-pence was a grant of Alms to the Popes in the time of the Anglo- Saxon kings ; the earliest date assigned to it being the reign of Ina, who became king of Wessex in G88, and after a reign of thirty-two years retired to Rome. The payment of the denarius S. Petri, or Romfeoh, was the subject of legislation by Edward and Guthrum (circa 900), by Edgar (959), by Ethelred (998), by Canute (1017), by Edward the Confessor (1043). It also forms a part of the laws of the Conqueror and of Hen. I. (See the references, Denar. S. Petri, in Spelman’s Concilia, and Romfeoh, Laws of England.) Prior, however, to the Law of Edward the Confessor (§ x) the Anglo-Saxon code affords no information as to the persons from whom the Romfeoh was due ; but that law, as explained by the law of William (I. xvii), acquaints us, that the possessor of agricultural stock of the value of thirty pence,* being an Englishman, and of the value of eighty pence (half a mark), being a Dane, was liable to Romfeoh, and that the payment by them of one penny acquitted their bordarii, and herdsmen, and servants. It appears also from the law of William, that a payment by * In tlie Life of Offa (Matt. Paris, pp. 29, 31), it is stated that Offa’s original grant was that of one silver piece from those who possessed cattle of the value of thirty silver pieces. It is also stated, that, when that monarch granted Peter-pence from his whole kingdom, he reserved the Peter-pence from the lands of St. Alban to the use of the Abbey. These lands in later times included the parishes which formed the hundred of Cashio, and the Abbatial archdeaconry of St. Alban’s, in the county of Herts. OF THE INQUISITION OF THE CHURCHES, A.D. 1181 . CXvii the lord of a manor was an acquittance for all who were in his demesne. The festival of St. Peter ad Vincula (August 1) was the day on which Romfeoh was due ; and the Law of the Northumbrian Priests (§ 57, Laws of England, vol. ii. p. 299) enacted, that the payment should be made 11 at the episcopal seat, and that in every wapentake there should be named two true thanes and one priest, who should collect it and render it, so that they dare swear to it,” The Inquisition of the Churches of St. Paul's, in 1181, to which our attention is now directed, illustrates both the mode of collection and the payment of the Romfeoh a century later than the laws above recited. The question 11 quis colligat denarium S. Petri?” implies the absence of uniformity as to the collection of the tax. In six instances no return was made to the question ; but from the replies which are recorded we learn, that the rural dean ( decanus loci ) collected it in Cadendon and Kensworth, the Sacerdos at Belchamp and six other places, and the Firmarius at Chingford and Sutton. Of the person, to whom the money was paid, mention is made only in two places, Cadendon and Kensworth, where the rural dean is said to have paid the money to the Archdeacon. The collec- tion from Barnes, in Surrey, was paid at Wimendon ; but in two instances, Norton and Sutton, the Firmarius, having collected the money, kept it to himself. Twelve parishes made the following payments : — Belchamp . xvi d. Tillingham . . xvi d. Wicham . . vi d. Berling . . . x d. Waleton . . xvi d. Nortune . vi d. Kyrkeby . . xvi d. Nastok . . . xxxvi d. Thorp . xvi d. Chingford x d. Tidwoldentuna . vi d. Drayton . xii d. The Domesday of St. Paul’s of 1222 makes no mention of Peter-pence. But from the Inquisition of 1279, in Book I. we learn, that at Sutton, at Chingford, and at Norton, the persons who paid the Rome-penny were Villain tenants ; that married men paid a penny, widowers and widows one halfpenny, and that the amount so received was reckoned among the profits of the Manor. At Sutton these payments were due in the 18 Edw I. (1289), not from all the Villain tenants, but only from twenty-five of them (L 32 b). At Chingford the sum collected from the “ Nativi” was 2s. 6d. cxxvm NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS the custom of the firmarius to give with every firma half a mark for wood, often more, rarely less, “ saepius vero plus, minus vero raro and from what is also there said of the firmarius paying a fine to the keeper of the brewery, and of the payment depending on the price of wood, it would seem, that this payment at last became fixed in amount, and was a com- mutation for some definite quantity of fuel. Page 158. Firma prima de Barling . — The 11 dizena” and the “ firma” from each manor were not paid on the same, but consecutive Sundays. On the first Sunday after the Festival of St. Faith the Church received a dizena from Belchamp and a firma from Barling, on the second Sunday a dizena from Barling and a firma from Sandon, and so on. It is to be remarked, that the number of firmae, that is, of payments in kind, was forty-five, but the number of Sundays in the compotus at pages 158 and 159 is forty- eight, there being three Sundays, on which what is termed a “ defectus ” was paid by three manors in lieu of produce in kind. Money payments were made every Sunday in the year, but the delivery of corn was dis- continued during the harvest month of September. Page 160. Per mensuram regis xvj. quarteria , fyc. — The amendment of weights and measures was one of the articles demanded by the Barons, and conceded in the Magna Charta of King John, and, as respects the measure of corn, the Magna Charta of 25 Ed. I. declared, that the Quarter of London should be used throughout the realm. In the “ Assisa de Mensuris ” (incerti temporis), that Quarter is said to contain eight bushels, and in the u Statutum de Pistoribus ” mention is made of the standard bushel, sealed with an iron seal of our Lord the King, and denominated the King’s measure. The statutes of Edward III. (which are all of them later than the Compotus Maneriorum of St. Paul’s now under our consideration), attest the difficulty which then existed, and which at the distance of 500 years still exists, of enforcing an uniform measure. It would seem that the King’s mandate, though, as asserted in 14 Edw\ III. (1340), not then obeyed throughout the kingdom, was put in force at St. Paul’s at an earlier period, as early as 1283, the Compotus Bracini of that year (see p. 164) stating that the firmae were in Quarters of eight bushels, il ad mensuram regis.” Ad hr acinum^ ad cameram. — The payments “ ad bracinum ” were received by the Custos bracini, who rendered an account of the receipts and OF THE COMPOTUS BRACINI OF ST. PAUL’S IN 1283. Cxxix expenditure of the brewery, which included the bakehouse and the mill. The payments “ad cameram” were made to the Camerarius or Chamberlain, whose duty it was to provide all things required for divine service, to collect payments, and to pay the proper stipends at the appointed seasons. A member of the Chapter was appointed for this duty. (See Appendix to Dugdale’s St. Paul’s, p. 51.) The Camerarius was the receiver and pay- master of rents and stipends, but the Thesaurarius of the cathedral was the keeper, not of its money, but of its treasures, such as plate, vestments, books, ornaments, relics, &c. being assisted in this charge by the Sacristan and the Vergers. The value of these treasures was such as would bear comparison with the value of Crown jewels. Page 164*. Hcec sunt duodecim maneria , fyc . — This account of the “firmse” rendered by the manors of St. Paul’s occupies the first folio of Book I., and precedes the account of Thomas Couling, the Custos bracini in 1283. It is here inserted, as being the first document in order of time, in which the quantities of grain contained in each firma are stated ; the accounts, which are prior to it, enumerating the firmae only by weeks and days (as in p. 152), or by the whole number provided by each manor in the year, as in the inquisition of 1181. (p. 140 — 145). In this document the measurement of the grain, and the number of quarters in each firma, was according to an older standard, and not according to the King’s measure. Each firma, as anciently delivered, contained 18| quarters of wheat (15 of which were for bread and for beer), but afterwards 16 quarters ; anciently 3| quarters of barley, but afterwards 3 quarters. The quantities, however, of the wheat and the barley were not really different, the firma at both periods containing as nearly as possible the same number of bushels, 18| qrs. at 7 bushels, the “ mensura bracini,” and 16 qrs. at 8 bushels, the King’s mea- sure, being in the proportion of 129*5 : 128. Ad Grudum . — According to Du Cange, “grudum ” is barley prepared for making beer ; but wheat being here given “ ad grudum ” would shew, that the word is applicable to any kind of grist or meal. The St. Paul’s beer was brewed from a mixture of wheat, barley, and oats. Ad mensuram villce . — This measure is probably that of the Country. It is to be remarked that if 15 qrs. at 7 bhls. to the quarter, equal, as here stated, 12 J qrs. of the Country measure; it follows, that the Country CAME. SOC. 5 cxxx NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS bushel was larger than the Town bushel, and that the proportion of the Country to the Town bushel was as 8J- : 7. Page 164*. Per factum hracini.- — Factus, which is defined in Du Cange “a measure of land,” was used by the Roman writers “de Re Rustica” as a measure in the manufacture of oil. (See Facciolati In voce.) It seems, therefore, to be of different origin from the Anglo-Saxon fset or vat. Of the dimensions of this “ factus bracini ” at St. Paul’s we have here a clear ac- count. The 16 qrs. of oats were to be paid in eight “ facti,” each containing 17 ordinary bushels; the quarter by this measurement being 8| bhls. In 1 283 this measurement of oats appears to have been no longer in use ; it would not, however, have been surprising if it had continued to a much later period, since we find the Legislature in 1351, 25 Edw. III., whilst it enacted uniformity of measures, exempting the rents and firmse of lords from the operation of the Act, and declaring that they shall “ be measured by such measures as they were wont in times past.” Page 165*. Consuevit fir marius pro buscha dare dimidiam mar cam . — We need not be surprised, that so large a sum should be paid for wood with each firma, when we bear in mind, that the quantity of fuel required was that, which would bake and brew a quantity of grain as great as 35 qrs. or 280 bhls. Page 164. Et de xxiiij. (Lege xxxiiij.) quart, de multura molendini . — The mill of St. Paul’s was probably a convenience to the citizens for grinding their corn ; but, without knowing the amount of toll, we cannot ascertain, how much corn was ground in the year to produce in the way of toll this number of quarters. In 1286 the “ Telonium molendini” produced the same amount (see p. 172). Eurnicium, furniata. — Words formed from the pure Latin word “ Furnus,” an oven — larger than the “ clibanus.” Quce faciunt xxxvj.fw.rmas (sic). — The “ firmae ” here mentioned are calculated at the old rate of 15 qrs. to the “firma” instead of 16, as men- tioned a few lines above. Flacon. — Flanso, Flanto, Flato, species Placentse. Gallice , Flam. (Du Cange.) From English etymologists we learn that “ flacon ” is a kind of dainty composed of fine flour, eggs, and butter, and that it was made for the wake-day or vigil of the church saint. (Richardson’s Dictionary.) The quantity of flour used in wastel and flacon in 1283 was 8|- qrs. and, OF THE BKACINI OF ST. PAUL’S IN 1283. CXXX1 in addition to this, the sum of five marks was expended. Upon these occasions the bakers received eight bollae or gallons of beer. In wastell. — Wastel bread was the best kind of wheaten bread, as appears from the Assisa panis et cervisiae (Stat, of Realm, f. 199), and also from the fact, that at St. Paul’s it was baked only for particular occasions, such as the Festivals of St. Paul and the Rogation days, when the Canons had three wastel loaves a-day, and other members of the church in proportion. The extravagance of the Prioress in the care of her dogs is thus indicated in Chaucer’s Prologue : Of smale houndes had she, that she fedde With rosted flesh and milk and wastel bread. De quibus habuit xx. quarteria de excrescenti cancellorum. — -For “ cancellorum ” lege “ cantellorum.” At p. 173 we have an account of the same profit, but expressed in different terms, “ de incremento granarum xx. quarteria.” Du Cange explains Cantallum, quasi quantillum, id quod supra mensuram additum est,” i e. the handful or shovelful thrown in after the measure is filled. In the Statutum de Pistoribus we read, “ toll shall be taken by the rase and not by the heap or cantel,” and “ no manner of grain shall be sold by the heap or cantel except, it be pats, malt, and meal.” It is remarkable, that the excess of measure here spoken of, as amounting to twenty quarters, was derived from the remeasuring 720 qrs. of oats, which produced 740.

De carbone pistrini , et bracini. — The wood-ashes and charcoal produced in the bake-house and brew-house ; Du Cange, in voce “ Carbonaria,” quotes the following passage from “ Auctor Queroli.” “ Ego jamdudum apud carbonarias agere te putabam, tu de pistrinis venis ; ” from which we learn, that the baker might sometimes be as blackened with charcoal, as the charcoal-burner himself. CXXXil NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS Pro sequestra unius tallice.— The account of the delivery of bread and beer to any party was probably kept by a tally, consisting of two pieces of thin wood, hence the whole of the allowance was termed 44 tallia.” In the case of absence or vacancy, the allowance due to the member was probably sequestered, in order to the rendering an account to the party interested. Pitancice. — Allowances occasionally distributed were termed 44 Pittances,” and the officer deputed to distribute them was termed 44 Pitanciarius.” At Thorney Abbey the 44 Pietanciarius ” possessed several 44 cotagia” attached to his office. (Rot. Hundred, II. p. 641.) According to Du Cange, the proper form of the word is not Pietantia, but 44 Pictantia,” meaning an allowance of small value, that of a 44 Picta,” or 44 Pite,” which was the smallest coin of the Counts of Poitou. Pite, a copper coin, the farthing, or fourth of a penny. (Dictionnaire de l’Academie.)

It does not appear of what this black bread was made: the “assisa panis” recognises five kinds of bread, Wastel of one kind, Cocket of two kinds, Simnel, and Treet.

It would seem, that in this year the whole of the firmae from the manors were received, and distributed not in kind, but in money. The price of wheat here recorded, as compared with that of our own times, being taken as a standard of the value of money, would lead to the conclusion that money was then fifteen times more valuable than at present.

Fratri de ordine Carmelitarum pro lecturis. — The Car- melites were the order commonly known as the White Friars, their house and church in London being near Fleet Street, in the place now called Whitefriars. They came first into England in 1224. The allowance to the brother for his readings in the cathedral for little less than ten months was one loaf and two gallons of beer per day. JBartholomo Orologiario. — The clock-keepers had a loaf per day. The Willielmus de Rokewell, who is mentioned in the next page, as receiving a certain quantity, was probably an assistant who came to help. In installation canonicorum.— Of the Canons here mentioned as in- stalled, Egidius Filol was Prebendary of Mapesbury, Hugo de Kendale Prebendary of Harleston, and Gilbert de Straiton Prebendary of Consumpta per Mare.

Per mensuram pavimenti. — Probably the measure of the Corn-market. In the parish of St. Michael le Querne, near the west end of Cheapside, there was in ancient times a market for corn, which occasioned the church to be named St. Michael ad Bladum. Praebenda. — Comparing the measure here given of the praebenda, as containing thirty bollae, with what is stated of the price paid for seven praebenda of beer at p. 167, we learn that the bolla and the lagena, or gallon, were the same measure.

Alebedrip. — In place of the note, Alebedrip , at page Ixxxiv the reader will be pleased to read as follows : The Latin form of alebedrip is “precaria cervisiae,” i.e. a boon day with ale ; metebedrip being a u precaria carnis,” or boon day with meat. It is to be observed that a custom, to which the term precaria or boon day of brewing, might to a certain degree be applied, existed at Saundon, where the Akerlings lent their utensils, when required for the lord’s brewing : (I. 143,) “ Item si dominus habuerit (necesse), quando braciabit de utensilibus, de utensilibus debet quilibet eorum mittere de mutuo unum gate." The custu- marii also on the same manor lent their vats for brewing at Christmas and at ploughing times : (I. 142,) “ Item si dominus necesse habuerit, quilibet eorum debet quotiens dominus braciabit ad Natale Domini, et ad precarias carucarum, accommodare domino unum Vat.” (I. 138,) (l Inveniet unam comianam (?) ad braciandum contra Natale Domini et contra precarias caru- carum.” Page 75. Cop' onos fustium. — In Fleta (II. c. 41) there is a very inte- resting document containing the Articles of Inquisition relative to the Royal Forests. In the 24th article we find the following clause, “ Quis habuerit conperones, ceppagia et escheatas quercuum et aliorum arborum.” The text of Fleta is so evidently corrupt, that no apology is necessary for the conjecture, that for conperones we should read conperones, and derive the word from the French coupev , to cut. Page 123. Contra castella.— In searching for the meaning of this term, and in considering whether the Chapter might not have become amenable for the offence of “castellatio,” i. e. fortifying a building without licence, which is mentioned in the laws of H. I. amongst the “ Placita quae mittunt hominem CXXXV1 CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONS. in misericordia regis,” the terms in which this offence is described, and the comments of various authors upon it, came under notice. In the Laws of England (p. 518) we read, “ castellacio trium scannorum.” In Spelman (page 128) and in Wilkins’s Leges H. I. 242, u castellatio trium stannorum,” and in Du Cange (in voce) “ castellatio trium annorum.” Spelman pro- nounced the passage corrupt and obscure. The later reading, however, “ scannorum,” affords a clue to the meaning of the words and the nature of the offence, if it be accepted as a form of “ scamnorum.” In the language of Pliny and Columella the ridges formed by the plough are “ scamna,” and upon a greater scale three banks, or tiers of earth, might be termed scamna, or benches — and the surrounding a house with three such banks would make it a strong fortification, and thus be an offence against royal prerogative. There is a manor-house near Southend, in Essex, the moat of which appeared to one who lately visited it, to be surrounded by three banks, and to be an example of the “ castellatio trium scannorum.’’ Introduction, page x. Capitular Domesdays. In the Inquisition of the Manor of Sandon (I. 136), we meet with three entries, from which it appears that the ancient form of the term “ by copy of court roll,” was “ per rotulationem,” or “ per rotulum Domesday.” The persons described as thus holding lands were “ libere tenentes.” u Willielmus Marescallus tenet xviij. aeras terrse arabilis de Decano et Capitulo v’l (videlicet) per cartam Rotulacom Domesday, quia ilia terra fuit nativa, et reddit domino unam marcam ad festum S’ci Michaelis et ad Pascha pro equali portione, et faciet sectam curie de tribus septimanis in tres septimanas, et dabit relevium,” “Galfridus Capellanus tenet quinque acras terrse, et unam parvam domum, videlicet per cartam, et domum per Rotulum Domesday, et reddit xv d. &c.” “ Dominus Vicarius de Sandone tenet unam acram per Domesday, et reddit ad festum, &c.” CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONS. CXXXV11 Denarius S'ci Petri . — In the account of Rome penny, (page cxvi.,) we have omitted to state, that in the Act of Surrender of the Kingdom made by King John to the Pope, the right of the Pope to this revenue was reserved (salvis per omnia denariis Petri), in addition to the annual payment of 1 ,000 marks to be made by the King, 11 pro omni servitio et consue- tudine,” as the Pope’s feudatory. There is also a remarkable letter of the same Pope (Innocent III.) addressed to his Legate Nicholas and to Pan- dulfus (in whose, presence the King had made his submission, and taken the oath of homage to the Pope), complaining, that the English Bishops, though they had collected Peter pence, had paid to him not more than 300 marks, and had taken a thousand or more to their own use.

Ad communem igitur utilitatem respiciens, si primam vocem habueris in capitulo, si vel fueris ascriptus in matricula canonicorum, nulla racione sustineas, ut si firmariorum potestas, qui modo possident, expiraverit quoquo casu, quod aliquis, vel canonicus, vel extraneus, simul ad firmam possideat et manerium et ecclesiam, sed ne promiscuis actibus rerum turbentur officia, sit semper in eadem villa distincio perso- narum ; sit alter qui temporalibus presit, sit alter qui spiritualia subministret; sit alius qui decimas solvat, sit alius qui recipiat. Ordinetur autem vicarius in ecclesiis juxta dispositionem capituli, qui si facultates ecclesie patiantur, dum servit altari sit contentus altario ; si non paciantur, victus capellano suppleatur ex decimis ad arbitrium tale, quod semper honestati sit conscium. Reliqui vero fructus, quos in ecclesia propriis sumptibus excoluerit, ma- jores quoque decime reserventur canonicis, vel ad annuum censum capelianis vel aliis clericis tradantur ad firmam.
