THE ** Northumberland Household Book " has been twice previously printed; first, in 1770, at the famed West- minster Press of John Nichols, the antiquary, and second, in 1827, as one of a series of more or less similar books issued by William Pickering. The first edition, which was edited and annotated by Bishop Thomas Percy, was a very limited one, being intended only tor private circulation. The copies were distributed to the friends of the then Duke of Northumberland, and to some of the leading antiquaries of the period. This edition is now scarce. The second edition, which is merely a reprint of the first one, without a single additional note, was printed for publication in the ordinary way, and is much more common. The present edition is a faithful reprint of that of 1770. Collation with the original MS. was unfortunately found to be impracticable. There is, however, little reason to doubt the accuracy of Bishop Percy's text. Indeed, that text bears internal evidence of having been very carefully prepared. Percy's Preface is reprinted, without alteration, in the present volume. Considerable additions, however, have been made to Percy's notes. Obscure allusions, on which he made no comment, have been elucidated, and his annotations on many points have been very greatly expanded. But nothing has been omitted from his notes, and all the additions, for which the present editor is solely responsible, have been enclosed in square brackets. ■t \ s'.^^^^^^^l^j.^jiSi," , j^^ r-.-ptv^i \ J.,^-***"- «^^-i^ ^ ' "<"f^:^,^ ^v '^s' !^^'*i5i9^^*»w-;v , I- " - THE .' IJ I PREFACE. [By bishop THOMAS PERCY.] THE following pages are copied from an ancient Manu- script in possession of the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, who conceiving that so singular a curiosity might afford the same amusement and pleasure to others, which it hath given to themselves, have caused a small impression to be taken off merely to bestow in presents to their friends. The original Manuscript, which fills a very large folio volume, and is finely ingrossed upon a strong thick paper, had by some accident or other been lost to the Northumber- land family, but was happily preserved in that of the Lords Dacre ; till the present nobleman restored it to the Duke and Duchess with a poHteness that deserved their particular thanks. Nor ought the very obliging offices of Lord Camden to pass unacknowledged ; by whose kind interposition it was presented to the family. It was presumed, so curious a monument of ancient times deserved to be rescued from oblivion, and to be perpetuated at least in a small impression, upon several accounts. In the FIRST place, as it exhibits a curious Picture of ANCIENT Manners. Here we see the great magnificence of our old nobility, who seated in their castles, lived in a state and splendour very much resembling and scarce inferior to that of the Royal Court. Their Houshold was estab- lished upon the same plan, their Officers bore the same \ i' I !■■' •fZ , ' -f ,*•* %!«i.»l4-«..'**t4»-1'H<.-!

As the King had his Privy Council and great Council of Parliament, to assist him in enacting statutes and regulations for the public weal ; so the Earl of Nor- thumberland had his Council, composed of his principal officers, by whose advice and assistance he established this Code of Oeconomic Laws.^' As the King had his Lords and Grooms of the bed-chamber, who waited in their respective turns ; so the Earl of Northumberland was attended by the Constables and Bailiffs of his several castles, &.cS who entered into waiting in regular succession. The two first offices about his person, were occasionally to be filled by his own younger sons.^ Nor can we doubt but all the head officers of his houshold were Gentlemen both by birth and office ; ^ such as the Comptroller, Clarke of the kitchen, Chamberlain, Treasurer, &c. &c. This appears from the servants and horses kept for their use,* and from the table where they sat being called the Knight's-Board.*^ Among other instances of magnificence, we cannot but remark the number of Priests that were kept in houshold, not fewer than ELEVEN, at the head of whom presided a Doctor or Batchelor of divinity, as dean of the chapel.*' This redundance of clergymen must not be altogether attributed to the superstition of that priest-ridden age, but to the superior intelligence of the men of that order, who seem to have been almost the only persons capable of exercising any office of skill or science ; so that the Surveyor of my a See p. 109, &c. &c. b See p. i and passim. c See sect. vii. p. 53. fi See pag. 349. e See pag. 298, 300, 306. f See pag. 37, 43, &c. pag. 87, &c, pag. 318.

IX lords lands, his Secretary,' and the Clarke of his foreign expences,^* were all Priests ; notwithstanding which, the last officer was weekly to make up his accounts on Sunday.' It appears however from many curious instances in this book, how deeply the devotion of that age was tinctured with superstition, and how much the nobles were influenced by the Clergy."' Indeed nothing more strongly shows the great devotion of our ancestors in the middle ages, than the number of Chapels in some of the Northern Castles. In buildings of this sort, where multitudes of men were often long confined within very narrow limits, every inch of space one would think must be valuable, and yet in castles of very moderate size one often finds more than one Chapel. Thus in Warkworth and Prudhow castles in Northumberland (both of them belonging to the Percy familyj are still to be seen the remains of two Chapels, one in the base court among the outer buildings, the other within the keep or body of the castle. And yet both these fortresses are by their situation much straitned for room, which is remarkably the case of Prudhow castle : and as for that of Warkworth, besides its two Chapels, in the court are also to be seen vaults designed for a considerable building. This, in the old Surveys," is said to have been intended for a College ; by which, I suppose, we are to understand some monastic foundation. ° Secondly, this book contains a compleat System of ANCIENT Oeconomics. Here may be seen all the Provisions, i Pag. 311. '^Pag. 352. 1 Pag. 385. ni Pag. 325, &c. &c. n See the Survey taken in 1567, by Geo. Clarkson, Auditor to Tho. Vllth. Earl of Northumberland. o Foundations of this sort were not unusual in Castles. In 1362, a perpetual Chantry was founded in Alnwick Castle for three Priests, who were daily to celebrate mass in the Chapel of the castle for the souls of the deceased Lord Percy and others of his family.

The minute attention paid to every the most inconsiderable article of domestic expence, and the formal stated orders established with regard to many particulars which appear to us extremely trivial, are very remote from our modern ideas and present manners: but this minuteness is not peculiar to our Houshold Book. The establishing a system of Domestic Oeconomy appears to have engaged the attention of our Ancestors nearly in the same degree, as the enacting public Laws and settling the Constitution of the Kingdom. In the celebrated Fleta, amidst the most important heads of Government and Law, the Author introduces a plan of Houshold Management, and gives the minutest Directions for regulating the most petty domestic concerns. n Our nobility in the more early times, lived in their castles with a gross and barbarous magnificence, surrounded with rude and warlike followers, without control and without system. As they gradually emerged from this barbarity, they found it necessary to establish very minute domestic regulations, in order to keep their turbulent followers in peace and order : and from living in a state of disorderly grandeur, void of all system, would naturally enough run into the opposite extreme of reducmg every thing, even the most trifling disbursements, to stated formal rules. It may be considered further, that a nobleman V See pag. 327, &c. .*f'"t»S,'"I «' ».• ^«' i" •, * •, , ;%,-"".3«fer I?

It may further be observed, in the words of a very eminent writer,^ that " the value of Money has another variation, which we are still less able to ascertain. The rules of custom, or the different needs of artificial life, make that revenue little at one time, which is great at another. Men are rich and poor not only in proportion to what they have, but to what they want. In some ages not only necessaries are cheaper, but fewer things are necessary. In the reign of Hen. VIII. most of the elegances and expences of our present fashions were unknown : commerce had not yet distributed superfluity through the lower classes of people," and therefore the same Revenue (though the different value of money were out of the case) would have gone in those times a great way farther than it will at present. But indeed to show, what might be done in that age with a much smaller sum, than is here allowed to the Earl's lowest servants ; we need only refer to that noted passage in Latimer's sermons,' which has been so often cjuoted : " My father was a yoman, and had no landes of hys owne, onely he had a farme of iij or iiij pound by yeare at the uttermost, and hereupon he tilled so muche as kept halfe a dossen men. He had vvalke for an hundred sheepe, and my mother milked XXX kyne. He was able, and did finde the king a harnesse, with himselfe and his horse, while [i.e. untilj he came to the s See the Ufa of Ro.

He kept me to schole. ... He maryed my sisters wyth five pound or xx nobles a piece. . . . He kept hospitality for his poore neighboures. And some almes he gave to the poore, and all thys did he of the sayde farme. Where he that now hath it, payeth xvi pound by yeare or more, and is not able to do any thyng for hys prince, for himselfe, or for hys children, or geve a cup of drinke to the poore." If any thing further is necessary on this subject : it will sufficiently show the plenty and liberality of the Earl's housekeeping, if we do but confront it with that which then prevailed among the other orders of men. At the time when so plentiful an allowance of good Bread and Beef was delivered out so many times a day to every the meanest servant in this Earl's family ; the Commons of England in general lived at a meaner rate and fared more hardily than we can at present well conceive. To instance only in one article of their food, viz. that of their Bread, even so late as the reign of Elizabeth (when great advances had been made in luxury and refinement) the lower sort of people fed on what would not now be offered to dogs. This appears from the description of England* prefixed to HoUinshed's Chronicle, edit. 1586, where we are told" "the Bread through the land is made of such graine as the soile yeeldeth, neverthe- lesse the gentilitie commonlie provide themselves sufficientlie of Wheat for their own tables, whilst their houshold and poore neighbours in some shires are infcrced to content themselves with Rie or Barlie, yea and in time of dearth manie with bread made either of Beans, Peason, or Otes, or of altogither and some Acorns among. ...

But as Home in windows is now [a.d. 1577-1 quite laid downe in every place, so our Lattises are also growne into lesse use \Le. not quite laid aside] because Glasse is come to be so plentifull, and within very little so good cheape, if not better then the other." The writer afterwards adds this remarkable passage. - Heretofore also the houses of our princes and noblemen were often glased with Berill (an example whereof is yet to be seen in Sudleie castle) and in diverse other places with fme Christall, but this especially in the times of the Romans, whereof also some fragments have been taken up in old mines." But with regard to Glass (now so cheap and common a conveniency) even after it began to be used in windows, it was still preserved with great care, as a precious rarity; as appears from the survey of Alnwick castle made in 1567, in which is this very remarkable passage : " And because throwe extreme winds the Glasse of the wtndowes of this and other my Lord's castles and houses here in the countrie dooth decay and waste, Vt were good the whole Leights of everie windowe at the departure of his Lordshippe from lyinge at any of his said castels and houses, and dowring [i.e. during] the tyme of his Lordship's absence, or others lying in them, were taken doune and lade upe in safety : And at sooche tyme as ather his Lordshipe or anie other sholde lye at anie of the said places, the same might then be set uppe of newe with smale charges to his Lp. wher [i.e. whereas; now the decaye thereof shall be verie costlie and chargeable to be repayred." Lastly, This Book may be considered as a very valuable Supplement to the Chronicon Pretiosum ; and the more so, as Bishop Fleetwood's excellent Essay on that subject is 'remarkably defective with regard to the period of time comprehended in this Book. Of this the learned author himself complains, declaring that all his diligence could not procure him sufficient information to render this part of his work compleat. The curious investigator therefore of subjects of this sort, will be glad to find the peculiar defects of the Bishop's Book so happily supplied in the present work : Wherein the Prices of all kinds of provisions and marketable commodities are clearly laid down ; wages and stipends fixed and stated ; current expences settled and adjusted, and even arbitrary gifts and rewards reduced to a regular invariable rule. From the following pages also the just proportion of food to labour, and of money to both, may be easily deduced. All these and many other particulars of the same curious nature, are here exhibited ; and the whole dis- posed in so regular and clear a manner, that no Supplemental Tables were necessary to new-arrange or distribute them. It is necessary only to give the Reader one caution in the use and application of the Rates and Prices : viz. that some allowance ought to be made for their being fixed and adjusted at such a distance from the capital. In that age there was little or no communication between one part of England and another : no regular conveyance from the provinces to the metropolis ; and therefore the product of the inland countries was for the most part obliged to be consumed at home. This would naturally occasion things to be at a much lower price in a remote northern county like Yorkshire, than they would in the south, or in the neighbourhood of London. And yet the Prices of Wheat and Oats, as given in the Chronicon Pretiosum, remarkably agree with those laid down at the Beginning of this Work,^^ e.g. : " In 1504, Antiq. Canterb.

This difference of Date the Reader will advert to in his Computations. As the Reader will expect some account of the great Earl and his Family, whose CEconomic Rules he is going to peruse, it is proper to inform him here that Henry Algernon Percy, fifth Earl of Northumberland, was born on the thirteenth of January, 1477-8. His father was slain, while he was a minor, in a popular insurrection in Yorkshire, April 28, 1489. In 1497, young as he was, he was one of the chieftains that commanded at the battle of Blackheath, against the lord Audley and his adherents ; and was early engaged in other public services. But what principally distinguished him, was the very magnificent and splendid manner in which he conducted the princess Margaret to the borders of Scotland, on her marriage with James I\'. in 1503, on which occasion his dress, furniture, equipage and attendance was more like that of a prince than a subject, as is particularly observed by Hall in his Chronicle ; where may be seen at large a full description of this very gallant show ; as also in the late curious Additions to the Collectanea of Leland.'

XIX installed a Knight of the Garter, he died about the middle of the year 1527. He appears to have been a nobleman of great magnifi- cence and taste : as is inferred not only from the instance above-mentioned, and the splendid Establishments in the following Book ; but from the very noble monuments which he erected in Beverley minster to the memory of his father and mother (the fourth Earl of Northumberland'" and his Countess). These are executed in the finest style of Gothic architecture, and remain to this day lasting proofs of his love and taste for the arts, as well as of his generosity and filial piety. He appears also to have had a great passion for literature, and was a liberal patron of such genius as that age produced. This was the more to his honour, as perhaps at no period of time his brother peers in general were more illiterate." He encouraged Skelton, the only professed poet of that reign, who wrote an Elegy on the death of his father. But still stronger proofs of his literary turn may be collected from a very curious and splendid MS. which had formerly belonged to this nobleman, and is at present preserved in the British Museum.^ It contains a large collection of Poems, finely engrossed upon vellum, and richly illuminated, which had been transcribed for his use. The Poems are chiefly those of Lydgate; after which follow the above Elegy of Skelton and some smaller compositions, which evidently prove his love of letters and passion for poetry. Among these are a History in Verse of the Percy family, presented to him by a Chaplain of his own ; and what is still more remarkable, a large series of Poetical Inscriptions, which he had "> in i'eck's " Desiderata Curiosa," vol. 2, p. 10, are the particulars of this Earl's Interment, cS:c.

To these proofs of this Earl's literary character, may perhaps be further added the remarkable provision in the following book, that his Almonar should be " a Maker of Interludes; "^ and even the bare mention in it of my Lord's and my Lady's Libraries'" deserves notice, at a time when many of the first nobility could hardly read or write their names. He married Ca i herine, daughter and coheir of Sir Robert Spencer, Knt. and of Eleanor his wife, daughter and coheir of Edmund Beaufort, duke of Somerset.

All these are mentioned in the Houshold Book : but besides the above, he had another younger daughter, viz. Lady Maud Percy, who was married to William Lord Coniers, and who, from the silence of the Houshold Book with regard to her, it is evident was not born till after the articles were compiled which relate to the Nursery (con- tractedly called ' Nurcy ' in the book) : whence it may be inferred, that most of the other Children were extremely young ; for the exact dates of their Births are not preserved. As mention is made of the Earl's Brethren, (defectively written ' Breder ' or ' Brether ' in the book) it may be proper to enumerate them. These were Sir William Percy, Knt. who bore a principal command, and signalized his valour at the battle of Flodden.

No points or stops occurred in the original, and therefore none have been inserted in the printed copy ; but the want of them is occasionally supplied by the proper disposal of the Capital Letters. Only one innovation hath been admitted, and that for the sake of clearness and distinctness, viz. the subjoining to some of the articles the Algebraic Mark of Equation = , which had not been invented when this book was written. It was once intended that a Glossary should have been given of the more unusual Words, but upon minute inquiry these were found to be few obscure in themselves ; and as for such as were merely rendered so by the uncouth, obsolete, or defective Orthography, it was judged that a small degree of attention in the Reader would easily enable hiin to decypher these. With regard to the obscurities in the Style or Expression, whether they proceed from the provincial dialect, the antiquated idiom, or the ungrammatical phrase of the writer, they will be generally removed or explained by the context. The greatest difficulties will be found to arise from the subject matter itself; from the frequent allusion to ancient manners, customs or things ; and it was thought best to give the illustration of these in the form of Notes at the End of the Book. Few and inconsiderable as these will be thought, the collecting them cost much time and labour ; for the subjects were so much out of the common track of reading, that it was difficult to know where to look for informa- tion : and if many passages equally obscure are passed over M I f ■1. ,^*.,JfK,4*^w Wf »"'«*» t *rf*«JW««* •s>t**rj»9t'» < •.

[To THE First Edition, 1770.] Ir will be necessary to premise here, that the ancient modes of Computation are retained in this book : According to which it is only in Money that the Hundred con- sists of Five Score : in all other articles the Enumerations are made by the old Teutonic Hundred ot Six Score, or 120. All numbers are expressed (not by Figures, but) by the old numerical Letters as in the MS. and that in a manner some- what particular, thus, V^^ is Five score. Pag. 138. VcXLVHI. is Five hundred and forty-eight. P. 370. M VCCLX. denotes Five thousand, two hundred and sixty. P. 3. CCCCiiij"'' xvj. reads Four hundred, four-score and six- teen. Pag. 137. After all, frequent Mistakes occur in the Arithmetical Com- putations : nor does the Sum Total always agree with the Enu- meration of the Particulars : but these are generally left as they stand in the MS. With regard to the Contractions, the following are the most common, viz. Di. or Dim. is Dimidium, or Half. Ob. or Obol. is Obolus, or Half-penny. Qu. or Quad, is Quadrans, or Farthing. Lb. is the Pound weight, as L. is the numerical Pound in money.

" Gascoin Wine, viz. Red Wine — White White— Claret Wine."] '' The Claret Wine was what the Gascoigns call at present Vin Clarid, being a pale red Wine, as distin- guished from the deeper Reds ; and was the produce of a district near J>ourdeaux called Graves: whence the English in ancient times fetched the Wine they called Claret, and concerning which many very particular regulations may be found in the old Clivonique de Bordeaux. I"-' I a t ^ »-\V-^ '11 t i' * IS f I _ I I 398 UOiC: The Rep Wine mentioned ahove was the coarse red Wine, the growth of what they call the Pains or deep low clayey Countries ; of which there is a great district near I>ordeaux, that still produces this sort of Wine. The White Wine was probably what we now call Vin de Graves and Priniac, both of them the produce of that Country, which was generally called Gascony by the English; who antiently applied this name to all that part of T'Vaiice, which stretches away from the Loire to the Pyr'^nnean Mountains." This account is communicated by a gentleman of distinction, who long resided in Hourdeaux, and had particularly studied this subject. Page II. " Hops for l^rewing." This seems to contradict the old received account, that Hops and Heresy came into l^ngland both in the same reign : See I taker's Chronicle, among the Casualties of Henry ihe \ llltli's Reign, viz. ''About the 13th of Henry \'III. it happened that diverse "things were newly brought uito England, whereupon this " Rhyme was made, " Turkies, Carps, Hoppes, Piccarell and Heere, " Came into England all in one year." This perhaps may relate only to the culti\-ation of Hops, when they were tiist planted in England, tho' the produce might be imported beiore from Inlanders. The " pREWiNG OF Beer" however is the subject of an intire Section in this book, vid. Sect. Wll. p. i3<). - but it i> obserxable that Turkies are not once mentioned amon<; the b'ovvls to be provided for the Table. See Sect. \I\. ^:c. Page 19. " Granes " are probably what are now called "Granes of "Paradise," small pungent seeds brought from the East Indies, flOtCt?. 399 much resembling Cardamum seeds in appearance, but in pro- perties approaching nearer to pepper. See Lewis's Materia Medica, p. 298. " Saunders." This fragrant wood, brought from the East Indies, was principally used for colouring the confections red: as " Saffron " was for tinging them yellow. See Lewis, P- 517- " Gallinga," Lat. Galauf^a, is the root of a grassy-leaved plant brought from the East Indies, of an aromatic smell, and hot biting bitterish Taste, anciently used among other Spices, but now almost laid aside. See Lewis, p. 286. Page 41. " Yoman Cook for the Mouth." — " Grome 'Cook' for " the mouth." These two attended hourly in the Kitchen at the '' Haistry,'' i.e. the Fire place (still called the " Haistcv " in Shropshire,) to see to the roasting of the Meat used at Breakfast and other Meals, (see page 313, 314.) These and most of the other Titles of Office which occur in this book, still are, or were very lately, kept up in the Royal Houshold. Page 42.

Our present Word 'Scrambling' was anciently written ScAMBLiNG : so that Scambling Days in Lent, were Days when no regular Meals were provided, biii every one scrambled and shifted for liiinself as he could. So Shakespear in his Play of Henry \'lh. Act. 1. S* . I. in the old original l-Aiilions, speaks of "the scrinil)linL: atid un(]iiiet time." IWotcs. 401 which modern Editors have altered to ' Scrambling.' See Johnson's Dictionary, and the Glossary to the Oxford Edition of Shakespeare (2d Impression, 1771.) Ibid. " Reversion," is what is left at Table, (see page 349.) The *' Pantler was the Officer who presided over the Panty : as the '* Butler " over the Buttery : and the " Haistiller " over the Uaistery, see above, p. 399. Page 81. " My Lady's Chamberer."j The Chamberer was a Eemale Attendant, being included under the Title above of " My Lady's Gentlewoman ; "' besides the Officer, who attended my Lord in his Bedchamber, is called his Chamberlain,' see page 85. It is a corruption of the French Chainbrievf, a Chambermaid. See Cotgrave's Diction. Page 85. " The Ewery " was the Office where the Ewers were kept. Our Ancestors always washed before and after dinner, as they used no Porks. This custom of Washing in form out of a Silver ICwer, is still kept up on solemn days m some of the Colleges in our I'niversities. The use of Forks at Table, did not prevail in England till the reign of James ist. as we learn from a remarkable Passage in Coryat : the insertion of which may be pardoned, among the petty Collections here raked together. The Reader v.ill laugh at the solemn ^Manner in which this important disco\ery or innovation, is related. " Here I willniention a thing that might have been spoken "of before in discourse of the first Italian towne. I ob- "serve'd a custom in all those Italian Cities and Townes " through the which I passed, and is not used in any other 26 r • • ( ■ :!< r il ! '? . 1% - i.\v-.^ I '1 m n li ! I •« i \i I hn f I II ^ I- 402 IRw-^tCt?. "country that I saw in my travels, neither do I thinke that "any other nation of Christendonie doth use it, but only " Italy. The Italian and also most Strangers that are com- " morant in Italy, doe always at their meals use a little "fokke when they cut their meat. Vov while with their " Knife, which they hold in one hand, they cut the nieate out "of the dish, they fasten the h^ork which they hold in their "other hand upon the same dish, so that whatsoever he be "that sitting in ilie company of any others at meale, should " unadvisedly touch the dish of meat with his hngers from "which all at the table doe cut, he will give occasion of "offence unto the company as having transgressed the lawes "of good manners, in so much that for his error he shall " be at the least brow-beaten, if not reprehended in wordes. " This form of feeding I understand is generally used in all "places of Italy, their Forks being for the most part made of "yronn, Steele, and some of silver, but those are used only "by Gentlemen. The reason of this their curiosity is, be- " cause the Italian cannot by any means indure to have his "dish touched with fingers, seeing all mens Imgers are not "alike cleane. Hereupon I myself thought good to imitate "the Italian fashion by this forked cutting of meate, not "only while 1 was in Italy, but also in Germany, and of- " tentimes in England since I came home : being once (]uip- " ped for that irei|nont using of my b^orke, by a certain "learned ( icntlemaii, a familiar fiirnd of mine, Mr. Law- " rence \\ hitaker ; wht) in his merry humour doubted not " to call me at table Fiurifcr, only for using a I'orke at feed- " ing, but for no other cause." Coryat's Ciutiitics, p. 90, 91. 4to, London ihi 1. b'ven when Ileylin published his Cosmography, (16 = 2) Forks were still a Novelty, see his 3d book, where having spoke of the Ivory Sticks used by the Chinese, he adds, " The " use of Silver F^orks with us, by some of our spruce Gal- motcs. 403 " lants taken up of late, came from hence into Italy, and "from thence into England." Page 100. "Revestry" from the French Rcvestiv, contractedly writ \'ES FRY. as in page 375. Page 103. " My Lord's Boord-end."] . In the Houses of our ancient Nobility they dined at long Tables. The Lord and his prin- cipal Guests sate at the upper end of the first Table, in the Great Chamber, which was therefore called the Lord's Board- end. The Officers of his houshold, and inferior Guests, at long Tables below in the Hall. In the middle of each Table stood a great Salt Seller and as particular care was taken to place the Guests according to their rank, it became a mark of distinction whether a person sate above or below the Salt. This and the following Section, which relate to the Order of serving up the \'ictuals, will be much illustrated by the following short Memoirs communicated to the Editor. I. "An Account how the Earl of Worcester li\ed at Kag- " land Castle, before the Civil Wars ^begun in 1641."] " At eleven o'clock the Castle Gates were shut, and the " Tables laid ; Two in the 1 )iningTvoom ; Three in the Hall ; '•One in Mrs. Watson's Appartment, where the Chaplains "eat, (Sir Toby Matthews'' being the first;) Two in the " House-keeper's Room, for the ladies Women. * This was probably the noted Sir Toby Matthews, enumerated among Mr. Walpole's Painters, who wrote the famous Character of Lucy Percy, Countess of Carlisle, printed by Fenton in his Notes on Waller's Poems. He was Son of an Archbishop of York, but turn- ing Papist had probably accepted the place of Chaplain in this great Earl's Familv, who was a Roman Catholick. f I' I \ ' II \ i } \ I I H ■ 1 I i I '. : I )■ 1 \ . f } : ..I , II 404 I'lOtCi?.

I ha\e now before me a Series ot Letters writ by this sixth ICarl of Xorthuml)erland (Son of the Author of our lloushold Book) ; in one of which he men- tions a very particular instance of the Cardinal's tyranny, in seizing upon the furniture of his l^\-ither"s Chapel, particularly the fine Service Books, and applying them to his own use. As this Letter gives us a curious Picture of the Manners, as well as Literature of our first Nobility at that time, 1 shall here insert a great part of it ; and that the rather, as it is a full vindication of this b2arl of Northumberland from the Charge of Ingratitude, in being the person employed to arrest the Cardinal at his (\astle of Cawootl. He had been placed under H-lotcs. 4^3 the Cardinal's Roof by his Father, among other young No- bleiuen, who accepted of menial Offices under that proud Pre- late ; but it plainly appears from these Letters, that he had been treated with so much harshness and contempt, as to be under no great obligation to him on that account. In a for- mer Letter he tells his friend, that the Cardinal had wrote to forbid him attending the funeral of his own Father to Beverly, and had treated him with many other Indignities. These Letters are written soon after that Earl's Death in 1527 and are directed "To his beloved Cousyn Thomas Arundel, " one of the Gentlemen of my Lord Legates Prevey Cham- "bre,"whom he addresses with the faiuiliar Appellation of " Bedfellow" as a term of Endearment : \\ hich however strange it may appear now, was consistent \vith the title of manners in the middle ages: Holingshed in his Chronicle, tells us of that Lord Scrope, who was one of the Conspirators against K.

In a secondary sense a Broche came to signify a Lady's Bodkin, and so occurs in Shakespeare and other old English W^riters. Page 298. "To Ten of the Clock ^- that my Lord goes to dinner,"] Ten o'clock continued to be the Dining Hour in the Univer- sity of Cambridge, in the Reign of Edward \T. as appears from a very remarkable passage in a Sermon of Thomas Lever, (who was afterwards appointed first Master of Emanuel Col- lege) preached at Paul's Cross, the xiiij Dec. 1550. (small 8vo. B. L. sign. E. 2.) Speaking of the University of Cambridge, he says, "There " be dyuers ther which ryse dayly betwixte foure and fyue " of the clocke in the mornynge, and from fyve untyll syxe "of the clocke, use common prayer wyth an exhortacion of " Gods worde in a common chappell, and from sixe unto " ten of the clocke use ever eyther pryuate study or com- " mune lectures. At Ten of the Clocke they go to Dynner, * The frequency of this phrase in the Houshold Book shews that Clocks were then common. 27 \ f « .1 &*i IM ; w«>4K«'«&^.^a«>w>ir.>--k i'oM»«K-'ais»<«>!>iSfli>«i*J,^;i.i.«,^,:,j.;,.1,,».^^^-,^^|j^;^,,^^,,;^^^^.. f i I .

About the middle of Queen Elizabeth's Reign the Dining Hour was somewhat later; tho' even then it was still kept up to Ten o'clock in the Universities, where the established System is not so easily altered as in private families. *' With us (says the Author of the Description of England *' prefixed to Ilolingshed's Chronicle) the Nobilitie, Gentrie, " and Students do ordinarilie go to dinner at eleven before " noone, and to supper at five, or betweene i-ive and six *' at afternoone. The Merchants dine and sup seldome be- " fore rwKiAi-: at noone, and al six at night especiallie in "London. The Ifusbandmen dine also at hijjjh noone as "they call it, and sup at seven or eight; but out of " THE TEARME iu our Universities the Scholars dine a r ^' TEN." We have seen above (in Note to p. 103.) that eleven con- tinued to be the Dining-hour among our NobiHty, down to tlie middle of the last Century. And yet one would imagine that so early an hour as either Ten or Eleven must ha\e very ill-suited the Nobihty and Cientry at a lime when they were so generally addicted to all kinds of rural sports, and made them so much the great business of their lives. lRotC5. 419 Page 312. ♦' Evensong and Complyng,"] The Compline was the last act of Worship at Night, by which the Service of the Day was compleated.

On the subject of these Cramp-Rings, I cannot help observing, that our ancient Kings, even in those dark times of superstition, do not seem to have affected to cure the King's Evil ; at least in the MS. above quoted there is no mention or hint of any power of that sort. This miraculous gift was left to be claimed by the Stuarts : our ancient Plantage- nets were humbly content to cure the Cramp. Page 324.

(Dec. 6.) to elect one of their Number to the Episcopus Pucrorum the Bearn (i. e. Infant) Bishop, or Chorister Bishop; who continued to preside over the rest, with an Imitation of all the Episcopal Functions, till Innocents Day, (Dec. 28.) and then after solemn processions, and great pageantry, he laid down his Office. He was chosen on St. Nicholas's Day because St. Nicholas was the Patron Saint of Children, He having when an Infant shewn such singular piety (as the Legend says) that when he was at his Mother's breast, he would not suck on Wednesdays and Fridays, that he might observe the Fasts of the Church. In the Posthumous Tracts John Gregory, 4to. 1650, is a full account of the office, &c. of the Episcopus Pucrorum, to which I refer the Reader ; only adding here from an ancient MS. an inventory of the splendid Robes and Ornaments belonging to one of these Bearn- Bishops, which was communicated by Thomas Astle, Esq.

" W hen my Lord keeps his secret I louse." i At certain tunes of the year the; Nobility retired from their principal Mansion t(j some little adjoining Lodge ; where they li\ed private, no longer kept open house, but put their Servants to Board Wages, dismissed part of them to go to their Friends, and only retained a few of the most necessary about their per- son. It is remarkable that even during this privacy the Earl of Northumberland was not to be without his proper Officers of State, and therefore his younger Sons, and the young Gentlemen who were constantly resident with him, were at those times to supply Offices of Carver, Sewer, &c. The Sewar was the Officer who placed the Dishes on the Table, (See Johnson's Diet.) He and the Carver had precedence over the other Iloushold Attendants, as being nearest the Lord's Person at Table, standing probably on each side of him. Page 354. It appears from this, and other Instances, that the Nobility about this time had great regard to the Splendour of their Choral Service ; for which reason a short account of its Origin, may not be improperly subjoined here. " Choral or Antiphoxal Singing was introduced into " the Service of the Church about the middle of the fourth *' Century, under the patronage of St. Chrysostome and St. '• J-5asil in the East, and of St. Ambrose in the West. It was " afterwards much improved by Gregory the Great, and " became universal throughout the Christian Church. It was " looked upon to be so necessary in the celebration of Divine " Service, that it was a consideral)le part of the duty of the " Monks, not only to study it themselves, but to desseminate " the knowledge of it among the Laity : for this purpose " Children were maintained in Convents, and taught the " Rudiments of Song. (iuiDO Aretinus, the inventor of " the present System of Music, in his Micrologus says, that " by the invention of the Syllables u r, re, mi, fa, sol, " LA, he was enabled to improve the Children of his Con- *' vent more in one Month, than others could in Twelve. ;^ »; '■■wmmmmmm- \ %^: fPf '..Ui^' s,' /?>S .^ , JdiA \ ^^«^i| '•■mm:-*^^0*t>ii^')^:v*-*jf0m:^Vt^^il^ . M^ffl' ; \ 'i I t ' III 428 1RotCt~. PuTTA, an ancient Bishop of Rochester, being deprived of his See, travelled about the County of Kent, teaching the Children of the Poor to sing. Bkde in his Ecclesiastical History tells us, that the Inhabitants of Jkitain were taught singing by John the Arch-Chanter of the Church of St. Peter at Rome ; and that he was sent hither for that pur- pose by Pope Agatho. Many years after the establish- ment of the Choral Service most of the Cathedrals in this Kingdom had a peculiar b^ormulary ; of these the most famous was that in Usnm Snyum ; whence the Proverb Se- ciindum Usuui Sarnni. Sir Thomas More used to join with the Choir hal)ite(l m a Surplice. King Hkxry the Vllth. composed an Anthem in five Parts, "O Lord, the maker of all things," which is frecjuently sung in Cathe- drals. Somewhat before this time Choral Service was per- formed in the Chapels of the (ireater Nobility, who ap- pear to have paid particular attention to this subject, and vied with each other in the Splendour an 1 Ornaments of their Choirs.'-' " bkit about the time of the Reformation such abuses had crept into the Choral Service, which had departed from its primitive simplicity and dignity, ihai not only the Councel of Trent passed a 1 >ecree against " curious and artificial singing," but the thirty two Commissioners in the Reformatio Lc^^iim Ecclesiasticiinun expressed iheir disap- probation of u in very strong terms. ( )ueen Mary, who loved Music, and played on several Inslruments, laboured to support it, and in her leigii the lurnuilary /// Usuni Siirum was republished.

In this she is supposed to have had the concurrence of Parker, Arch-Bishop of Canterbury, who had been taught to sing in his youth, and was a great lover of Music, as was also the Oueen. The Protestant Cathedral Service was chiefly composed by John Mar- buck, of whom the Reader may see an Account in Fox's Martyrology." This curious and learned memoir was communicated by John Hawkins, Esq. of Twickenham, to whom the World will soon be indebted for "A General History " of the Science and Practice of Music ; with Memoirs "of the most eminent Musicians, and Remarks on their " Work." There is a passage in an old Play, intitled ^^XTbC SUtCU* lU^C Ot the tour JElCinCntS:" (written about the beginning ot Henry the X'lIIth's reign) which shews what high regard was anciently paid to Church Music.

Wressil Casti.k continued in all its Splendor, till the fatal Civil Wars broke out in 1641 : It was then garrisoned with Soldiers for the I'arliament ; and notwithstanding the Earl of Northumberland had espoused their Cause, the Damage he sustained there by his own Party before Michaelmas 1646, was judged to amount to a thousand l^ounds,"^ in the Destruc- tion of his Puildings, Leads, Outhouses, &c. by the Garrison : their havock of his \\ oods, Inclosures, &c. without including the Losses he had sustained in the Non-payments of his Rents, in consequence of the Contributions levied on his Tenants. On the decline of the King's Party, it should seem, that the Northern Counties enjoyed some respite; but in 164S, some Attempts being made or expected from the Ivoyalists, fresh Troops were sent into the north : ami in May that Year, ^Major-General Lambert, ordered a small Detachment of 60 Men to garrison W'ressel Castle, of which Major Charles Fenwick had all along continued Governor lor the Parlia- ment, with the intiie approbation t)f the l^arl ol' Norlliuniber- land. About the lieginning of June 1648, Pomfrel Castle was seized for the King, and underwent a Siege of ten months: to prevent any more Surprizes of this kind, and a resolution was taken for demolishing all the Castles in that Part of l^ngland : * Extracted from a "Brief View of the Arrearages, and Losses *' sustained by his Lp. occasioned by the late unhappy Warres,' MS. dated Michas. 164G. The Sum total of his Losses even then amounted to 42,554/. Mres6il Castle. 439 And while the Earl of Northumberland was exerting all his influence above, to save this noble Seat of his Ancestors, a Committee at York sent a sudden and unexpected Order to dismantle it : which was executed with such precipitation and fury, that before the Earl could receive notice of the design, the mischief was done. The following Letters, selected from a Series on this subject, will shew the Spirit of the Times, and how little respect was shown to this great Nobleman, by the low People, who had wrested the power into their hands.

In the two principal Chambers are small beautiful Stair-Cases of very singular contrivance with octagon Screens, inbattled at the top, and covered with very bold sculpture, containing double flights of Stairs, winding round each other, after the design of Paladio. Ihe Chapel appears to have been fitted up in a ruder style and at a more early period than the other apartments. In this the sculptured Badges, &c. are still tolerably entire, and some of the painted glass unbroken. The Cieling is inscribed with the following Motto, Espeyancc en Dieu ma Comforte. The Chapel is now used instead of the Parish-Church, which was situate about a bow-shot from the Castle. Of this one ruined end-wall only remains, in which at present hang two Bells. The Pulpit now stands as on a pedestal, upon the great stone Altar of the Chapel, and the Communion is administered at a Table in the middle of the room. LECKINFIELD MANOUR-HOUSE, Or, as it is not improperly stiled in the Title-page, Leckinfield Castle, (for it was fortified by a Licence from the Crown in 2 Edw. 11."^) is now so entirely de- stroyed that the area on which it stood (forming a paralle- logram of 4 acres) now affords a rich green pasture, being still inclosed by the ancient Mote, which is wide and deep, and full of Water. * Dugd. Baron. I. 273. \ ik i r 1 t ■■n I Ml 'I I* .; 1 1 444 Bccount ot .") The Castle is thus described by Leland, in his Itenerary, (Vol. I. fob 50.) as it was about the Year 1538. " Al the way bytwixt York, and the Parke of Lekenfeld ys " meetely fruteful of corn and Grasse, but it hath little wood.- - " Lekingfeld is a large House, and stondith withyn a great '* Mote yn one very spatious Courte. Three partes of the " House, saving the Meane Gate that is made of brike, isalof " tymbere. The fourth parte is made of stone and some brike. " I saw in a little studying Chaumber iher caullid Para- " DICE, the Genealogie of the Percys. ** The Park thereby is very fair and large and meetely welle " woddid. There is a fair Tour of brike for a Lodge yn the " Park. From Lekinfeld to I>everle 2 Miles." The following Apartments in Leckintield had poetical In- scriptions : as mentioned in the Preface, o. xxii. "Proverbs in the Lodgings at Leckinfield." 1. "The Proverbis of the Garrett over the Payne at Le- '' kyngfelde." This is a Hialogue in 32 stanzas, of 4 lines, between " The Parte vSensatyve," and " the Parte Intel- " lecty ve ; " containing a poetical Comparison between sen- sual, and intellectual Pleasures. 2. " The Proverbis in the Garet at the New Lodge in the "Parke of Lekingfelde." This is a Poem in 32 stanzas, of 4 lines, being a Descant on Harmony, as also on the manner of Singing, and playing on most of the Instruments then used : sc. The Harps, Clavicordes, Lute, X'irginall, Clarisymballis, Clarion, Shawme, Orgayne, Recorder. The following stanza relates to the Shawme, described in p. 424, and shows it to have been used for the Bass, as the Recorder was for the Meane or Tenor). " A Shawme makithe a sweete sounde for he tunithe Basse, " It moLintithe not to hy, but kepithe rule and space.

If we suppose this to be the room mentioned above, where the Genealogy was kept; the following jingling reflections on the family Motto (in 30 Distichs) will not appear quite so misplaced : '' Esperauncc en Dyen* " Truste in hym he is most trewe.

The above documents, however mean and homely the verse, are not unworthy the notice of any great personage in the most polished age or nation. As the Reader may be curious to know how our first Nobi- lity were accommodated with apartments in their largest man- sions, I shall subjoin a List of all the Rooms of every kind, that were in Leckinfield Manour House: being nearly double the number that were in Wressel Castle, as appears from an Inventory of them both now before me, taken in the year 1574. The names of the Apartments in both were so much alike, that the enumeration of one was thought suffi- cient. The Furniture of the Apartments in both these Mansions consisted of nothing but Long Tables, Benches. Cupboards, and Bedsteads, and contained nothing curious : otherwise the Inventory should have been printed at large. * i. e. " before. " See the above Note to p. 157. XecF^inficl^ /IDanour. 447 It is observable that in upwards of Fourscore Apartments there do not seem to have been more than three or four destin- ed for the reception of the noble Owners and their Guests : these were probably, the Drawing-Chamber, the New-Chamber, the Carved-Chamber, and the Great Chamber or Dining-room : all the rest were meerly offices, or cabins to sleep in. I shall premise, that the Great Chamber contained only ** a Long Table upon a Frame, a Cupboard with a dore ; " and the Hall '* Six great standing Tables, with sixe Forms, ** three Cupbourds, two Dores, neither Locks nor *' Keyes."

At the end of the above Inventory, the Surveyors report that they find the " Decayes of the Howse at Leckinfield, " to be much greater, and of more charge, than of that at " Wressel ; and that the greatest part of the said Howse, as " well the Lead Cover, as Tyle, must be taken of, and new " tymbered, &c. &c." They conclude their Rebort in the following words, '* We cannot speke of the particular harmes " of the said Howse, the Waste is so universal." Thence-forward, it was probably never repaired ; but after some time pulled down and demolished ; for I have seen an account sent up to the succeeding Earl of Northumberland in James the First's reign, of the Quantity of Timber, Painted Glass, and Carved Images in the Ceilings, c\:c. which were removed by his order from Leckenheld to Wressel Castle.
