Preface

The Military Survey for Babergh Hundred in Suffolk, taken in 1522, was originally calendared as long ago as 1907 when, among other things, a useful preliminary analysis of the occupational details was provided. It has been widely used by historians in recent years, notably by Professor W. G. Hoskins and Dr J. H. C. Patten, but almost exclusively from the trans­ cription in the Ipswich Public Library, a transcription which, although useful, contains some errors. That provided here is taken from the original document housed in the Lincolnshire Record Office (Anc. 16/2) and I am grateful to the archivist for permission to undertake the work. The reasons for its appearance in the Ancaster archives are far fromc lear, and neither the Historical Manuscripts Commissioners nor the Lincolnshire Record Office are able to clarify the matter. 1 The ostensible purpose of the Survey was to provide an indication of the country's capacity to supply arms and armour in time of war, the provision of which was linked to a person's stated wealth. Everyone listed, whether clerical or lay, was required to state on oath the value of his goods and, where appropriate, the annual value of his lands, benefice or stipend. People in Babergh Hundred were exempted from the provision of arms if worth less than £40s0d. 2 Those with goods valued at between £40s0d and £190s0d were grouped together in twos and threes and expected to supply harness and weapons collectively, while their wealthier counterparts had to provide such materials themselves. In parts of Norfolk the responsibility was extended to men worth no more than £ 1 Os 0d, · altho3u gh they were required to provide staves and not bills or bows and arrows. The primary purpose of the Survey, however, was to obtain reasonably accurate details of individual wealth as a prelude to the levying of subsidies to finance Henry VIII's French wars. The subsidies were virtually all­ embracing, including everyone from the wage-earner to the richest noble­ man. Men assessed on their wages paid 4d. Those taxed on their goods paid at the rate of6 d in the pound if worth less than £20 Os 0d and twice as much if they were wealthier than this. The richest among them - those with goods valued at £40 Os 0d or more - were required to pay their contributions in advance. A person was taxed on either his goods or his lands, depending on

Patten, 'Village and Town: An Occupational Study', Agricultural History Review, 20, 1972, pp.1-16. a few isolated cases people were required contribute when their goods were valued at less In to t2h an this. In Bures, fore xample, Robert Whittok was linked with others in the provision of arms although only in possession of £2 worth of goods and 8s in land, as was John Seburgh of Newton, assessed on £2 6s 8d and with 5s worth of land. The landholdings may have made the difference in these cases. This occurred in West Flegg in Norfolk, P.R.O. E36/25, fos. 57-71. 3 which provided the greatest revenue, and the subsidy returns, as such, record details of either one or the other. The Military Survey, in contrast, provides both, and is thus a clearer indicator of individual wealth than the later documents. The broad differences indicated by the Military Survey reflect the gover­ nment's impressions of the relative standing of those to be taxed. A man was deemed wealthy if his goods were valued at £20 Os0d and above, and comfor­ tably off if his moveable property was worth at least £4 Os0d. Only the wage-earners and those described as 'of no substance' were regarded as poor, and many of them were far from destitute. Under normal conditions - and these were, of course, subject to fluctuation - perhaps one-fifth of the urban population of Henrician England and one-tenth of the rural dwellers lived in conditions of extreme poverty, but seldom more than this.4 The information provided by the Babergh Commissioners is fuller than that for virtually every county where the material survives, with the possible exception of Rutland. The military details apart, the wealth of material relating to the occupational and landed interests of those recorded is of tremendous value to the economic and social historian, and I have provided detailed analyses of these aspects in the following pages. I have been engaged with the Babergh material, at intervals, for many years now and I am grateful to the Suffolk Records Society and, in particular, to its editor, Norman Scarfe, for the opportunity to put it into print at long last.

Editorial Method

The text is a verbatim transcript of the original with the following additions. 1. It has been punctuated throughout, with Roman numerals being repla­ ced by their Arabic counterparts and marks given as £ s d. 2. A letter H appears beside virtually every entry in the original as an indication of a householder. In the few cases where this is not so in Sudbury and Neyland the word 'singleman' is appended, and it appears occasionally thereafter in the other towns and villages with single women being designated as such. Although the word 'singleman' is rarely used in the other townships, a number of people do not have the letter H beside their names. Where this is so, I have indicated it by the letter Sin brackets - (S) - suggesting that these people were probably singlemen. When neither the word 'singleman' nor the symbol (S) appears it should be assumed, as indicated above, that the person 1 concerned was a householder. 3. Finally, a number of Babergh men and women held land outside their own village or town. Sometimes their place of origin in the Hundred is given in the original document. Where this has not been done, I have indicated it in brackets, preceding it by the words 'probably' or 'possibly' where there is an element of doubt.

Introduction

The Commissioners

Five men were made responsible for the musters and assessments of in-come in Babergh Hundred, those appointed being Sir William Waldegrave, Sir William Clopton, George Mannok, Robert Crane and Robert Forde, the first four having their permanent residences in the area. Between them they held eight chief lordships as well as land in eleven other towns and villages in the Hundred and - in the case of Waldegrave - the High Stewardship of Cornard Parva. With the exception of Sudbury which, as the major town, heads the list, the order in which the towns and villages are recorded suggests that each man took responsibility for a given area of the Hundred, based either on his permanent residence or, where Forde is concerned, the town in which he was chief lord. A possible itinerary would have allowed Forde to take the south­ eastern corner of the Hundred with responsibility for Neyland, Stoke, Polstead and his own town of Boxford; Crane a circular tour which embraced Edwar­ dstone, Groton, his own chief lordship of Waldingfield Magna where he had his main residence, Waldingfield Parva and Milden; Waldegrave another circu­ lar tour beginning in the south-west with his own town of Bures and taking in Wiston, Assington, Newton, Sudbury and the two Cornards; Clopton a larger, but still roughly circular, area incorporating Lavenham, Long Mel­ ford, Glemsford, Cavendish, Stanstead, Acton, Monks and Brent Eleigh and Preston; with the north of the Hundred being left to Mannok.

The clergy

The itinerary suggested above is given some credence both by the clergy included in the survey and by those omitted. They are recorded in every case in the first sixteen villages and towns surveyed and systematically omitted, for whatever reason, in the remaining sixteen, the omissions including the larger settlements of Lavenham, Long Melford and Glemsford. Some im­ pression of the values of the benefices omitted, if not of the stipends, can be obtained from the Valor Ecclesiasticus, but the Military Survey is more valuable in providing details of the moveable goods and, where appropriate, freehold lands of all the resident clergy, m addition to

1 their benefices and stipends. The additional material is revealing for it makes it clear that many clergy who would have been deemed poor if judged on the value of their stipends alone were, in fact, men of some substance. Only four of the Babergh stipendiary clergy had no goods recorded against their names, while almost half of them had moveables valued at £3 Os 0d and above, decidedly above the poverty line. The resident beneficed clergy were even wealthier, as one would expect, with half of them being assessed on goods worth £10 Os 0d and above. 1

The chief lords

One-quarter of the towns and villages in Babergh Hundred were under the control of the greater clergy, the Abbot of Bury St Edmunds and the Bishop of Ely being especially prominent. The remaining twenty-four were shared between twenty-six people of gentry rank and above, Boxford and Cornard Parva each having two chief lords. They ranged in rank from the Queen, chief lady at Sudbury, through such peers of the realm as the Duke of Norfolk and the Earl of Oxford, chief lords at Stoke and Lavenham respecti­ vely, the ill-fated Lady Salisbury, destined to die under the headsman's axe in 1541, who held the manor of Newton, to a miscellany of knights and gentlemen, both resident and non-resident. The knights included Sir John Shelton, chief lord at Brent Eleigh, High Sheriff of Norfolk in 1504 and created Knight of the Bath at the coronation of Henry VIII, a man married to a daughter of Sir William Boleyn of Blickling; Sir John Raynsford of Brad­ field in Essex, MP for Colchester in the Reformation Parliament, and lord of Alpheton; and Sir William Waldegrave, the largest landowner in the Hun­ dred who, in addition to extensive lands at Bures, also held the chief lords­ hips of Polstead, Edwardstone and Acton. The more prominent of the gentry were Roger Martin, assessed on £333 6s 8d worth of goods at Long Melfordin 1522 where he also owned £20 worth of land, the same amount as that of his chief lordship at Stansted; and Thomas Rush of Sudburne, friend and correspondent of Thomas Cromwell and MP for Ipswich in 1523 and 1529, who held the manor of Somerton. 2 Only six of Babergh's chief lords lived permanently in the Hundred, two of whom, Sir William Waldegrave and Roger Martin, held lordships outside their own towns, although in Waldegrave's case his three extra-mural manors were in addition to his major property at Bures. The other local men, Robert Crane, Robert Apulton, Richard Corbet and Richard Poley, held sway in the Waldingfields, Assington and Boxsted respectively.

2 The High Stewards

Five men are positively named as High Stewards in Babergh Hundred, being responsible between them for eleven of the towns and villages in the area. Three of them, Sir Robert Drury, Humphrey Wingfield and Thomas Au­ dley, were lawyers and past or future Speakers of the House of Commons, Drury having held the post as long ago as 1490 while Audley and Wingfield were to be successive Speakers in the Reformation Parliament. Of the other two, Sir Henry Marney, first Baron Marney, courtier, soldier and favourite of the king, had been appointed Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster on 14 May 1509, less than a month after the accession of Henry VIII, and subsequen­ tly served as Captain of the King's Guard; while Sir William Waldegrave, as mentioned above, was chief lord of four of the villages and townships in the Hundred. 3 Sir Robert Drury, who was domiciled at Hawstead in neighbouring Thingoe Hundred where he was assessed on £500 worth of goods in 1524, held five High Stewardships in Babergh, situated respectively at Groton, Lavenham, Glemsford, Hartest and Lawshall, as well as being a landowner at both Lawshall and Somerton. A former MP for Suffolk, he had previously served as a Subsidy Commissioner for the county, as he did again in 1523, and he was a member of the Council of the Fourteenth Earl of Oxford, to whom he undoubtedly owed his position at Lavenham where the Earl was chief lord. Marney and Wingfield each held two High Stewardships, situated at Sudbury and Neyland and Stoke and Monks Eleigh respectively, with Audley and Waldegrave holding their appointments at Alpheton and Cornard Parva.4

Wealth and occupation

Babergh Hundred in Suffolk is virtually unique in the amount of occupational detail provided for both town and country in the early sixteenth century. 1 Some eighty-five per cent of the 1985 men and women resident in the area had their occupations or status recorded and most of the remainder were almost certainly labourers, people with no occupation to their names being most prominent in towns and villages such as Cornard Magna, Edwardstone, Neyland, Stoke by Neyland and Waldingfield Parva where few labourers were named as such. Farmers and labourers were ubiquitous in the Hundred, textile workers were present in over sixty per cent of the villages and townships while representatives of the building, clothing and food and drink trades were present in at least half of them. Other occupational groupings, although less widely spread, were far from insignificant. Forty per cent of the villages had metal workers, one in three of them contained men employed in the leather and professional spheres, six of Babergh's thirty-two towns and villages provided employment for wood-workers and eight housed men concerned directly or indirectly with the provision of transport facilities. Sudbury, as the major town of the Hundred, contained men involved in all of the above activities. It was a major centre for the distributive trades and employed a majority of those concerned with the provision of food and drink, metal and leather goods. Smaller places had a greater tendency to specialise. Farming provided the main employment in two-thirds of the townships. Elsewhere, labourers apart, the textile trades were of primary significance in ten of them and of secondary significance in a further seven. In Stanstead, in contrast, the building trades predominated, only Long Melford and Sudbury itself having a greater concentration of such workers, while Hartest, although primarily concerned with farming, housed three of the area's professional men, again being superseded only by the larger towns of Lavenham and Sudbu­ ry. Tradesmen apart, gentlemen resident in their areas were to be found in only thirteen of Babergh's towns and villages although women, mainly widows, who were liable for taxation were recorded in twenty-five.2 The distribution of occupational and social groupings in the Hundred as a whole is indicated in the first of the pie charts on the opposite page, the labourers being placed beside the unspecified grouping to indicate their overall predominance. The second of the charts is concerned exclusively

Distribution of occupations with farmers, gentlemen, labourers, women and unknown excluded (714 individuals) with the trades practised in the area and emphasises the importance3 of the textile industry for men, although many women were undoubtedly occupied in this sphere with others being involved in a subsidiary capacity. The unequal distribution of wealth in Tudor and Stuart England is by now a virtual commonplace and Babergh was no exception to the rule. Of those with property to their names, the poorest forty-six per cent owned five per cent of the goods while the richest six per cent were in possession of no less than sixty-two per cent. Even if the enormous wealth of Thomas Spring of Lavenham is excluded such people still had well over half of the Hundred's moveables in their hands. The major contrast with other areas examined is the much smaller number of people assessed on goods worth less than £2 Os Od. Whereas in the larger towns such people almost invariably compri­ sed forty per cent or more4 of the taxable population, in Babergh they accounted for little more than one quarter, the proportion being as low as one in five in Sudbury itself. This 'deficiency' was partly offset when the Subsidy was collected two years later. Almost half of those deemed poor in 1522 (forty-seven per cent) were assessed 5on goods in 1524 while nearly eighty per cent of the 642 people appearing for the first time in that year were taxed on property worth less than £2 Os Od. Some, possibly many, of these were youths old enough to be recorded in the Military Survey but too young to possess property of their own in 1522, a supposition given some credence by the similarity of surnames among the 'poor' and their wealthier counter­ parts in the various villages. A similar disparity in wealth is evident where the different occupational and social groupings are concerned. Textile workers, comprising some six­ teen per cent of those with property, owned half of the moveable goods, Spring of Lavenham's share alone amounting to fourteen per cent. The farming community owned a further eighteen per cent, the gentry eight per cent and the Babergh widows, the labourers and those with no specified occupation between three and four per cent each.

* Excluding Spring the average would be 664 groupings was minimal. The collective picture, however, disguises the fact that few of the individual occupational groupings were really poverty­ stricken, whether viewed from the point of average or median wealth. Ta­ ble I summarises the distribution of wealth in this way and clearly distinguishes the really substantial groupings fromtheir less wealthy counter­ parts. Looked at from this point of view, the gentry were clearly supreme. Even with the inclusion of Spring's massive wealth the value of the textile workers' goods averaged less than half that of the gentry. If he is excluded, as distorting the true picture, the distributive workers are seen to be close rivals to the clothiers and others, followed by the farmers and those concerned with food and drink. As one would expect, the labourers and those

9 with no occupation to their names come at the bottom of the list, albeit with an average of forty shillings or more per head. But neither in Babergh, nor elsewhere, can wealth be measured solely in terms of moveable goods. Three people out of every ten resident in the Hundred were freeholders in their own right and many more undoubtedly leased, or rented, land from their social superiors. All of the occupational groupings contained some landowners within their ranks, ranging in extent from the labourers' seven per cent of their total work-force to the dis­ tributive workers sixty-three per cent. The overall picture is summed up in Table II below. With the exception of the gentry and some of the wealthy clothiers most people owned land in their immediate locality although a few, notably some of the husbandmen, had their landholdings situated exclusively in nearby villages or towns. A minority of men - and some women - owned additional plots of land elsewhere. For most people the additional holdings were seldom more than a few miles from the owner's home and were thus easily accessible for farming purposes. The majority of landholdings were relatively small, two-thirds of them being worth £1 or less. Any attempt to relate these figures to acreage must be tentative in the extreme, not least because land values obviously varied according to the quality and situation of the land, but it is suggested that land with an annual value of £1 may correspond to the

10 medieval virgate of 30 acres. If this is accepted as a rough-and-ready guide the smallest holding would have been one of about 5 acres, with those of 10, 15 and 20 acres being relatively commonplace.6 In many cases these landholdings would have been supplemented by property rented from others. This is particularly clear where the Babergh husbandmen and yeomen are concerned, little more than half of whom were landowners but all of whom were men of some substance with goods worth £3 or more. Many of the clergy, similarly, had benefices or stipends in addition to their moveable goods and freehold land. What is absolutely clear is that the possession of small amounts of land is not, in itself, synonymous with poverty in the way recently suggested by Professor Hoskins in his own analysis of the Babergh material. According to Professor Hoskins those without land to their names were propertyless and rented what shelter they had, and by divorcing individuals' landholdings from their goods he fe els able to state that some two-thirds of those with land were 'probably nothing but cottagers and small house-holders'. This unfortu­ nate misuse of the material has been further exacerbated by the Belgian historians Lis and Soly who allege that eighty-seven per cent of the inhabi­ tants of Babergh Hundred lived at, or below, the poverty line. This kind of analysis grossly distorts the true picture. Of the7 1375 men with no land to their names just under one half were deemed to be worth £2 and above, with almost one in five having goods valued at £5 or more. Many of these, as suggested above, were almost certainly renting land if not actually owning it and none of them was a poor man. The majority of land­ holdings were certainly small, as the pie chart on p. 13 indicates, two-thirds of them being worth £1 or less, but this is not the same thing as saying that the owners were largely poverty-stricken. For virtually all of these people, their position in society can only be determined by linking their landholding to their goods, Sir William Waldegrave of Bures, the largest lay landowner, being unusual in providing no details of his moveables. The holdings of all Babergh residents are summarised in Table III. If a man held land in more than one place the collective value of his lands is given. Fully two-thirds of all the holdings under £1 were held by people with goods worth £3 and above, men who were well above the poverty line. Smallholdings of this kind were frequently owned by men assessed on £20 and more, those deemed sufficientlyrich to be taxed at twice the normal rate when the subsidy was levied in 1524, and to dismiss all four hundred at this level as nothing but small cottagers is a total misuse of the available evidence, however inadvertent this misuse may have been. Most of the land in Babergh was in the hands of non-resident proprietors, whether they were men living a few miles away or much further afield. Where Buckinghamshire is concerned, Chibnall has suggested that the average value of arable land6 was 6d, of meadow ls6d and of pasture ls, with variations throughout the county. A. C.

Distribution of landholdings among the residents of Babergh Hundred

Almost half of the land in the Hundred as a whole was owned by the gentry and peerage, the Church owned seventeen per cent and the textile workers, notably the clothiers, almost fourteen per cent. Apart from the farmers and widows, whose collective holdings comprised another ten per cent, the share of other groupings was minimal (see Appendix F). Looked at in another way, the Chief Lords, or squires of the Hundred, whether clerical or lay, owned some forty per cent of the land, with the villagers themselves owning little more than one-quarter. The notable exceptions to this were the towns of Lavenham, Neyland and Sudbury whose inhabitants retained possession of some sixty per cent of their own lands. In stark contrast, the villagers of Milden owned none in their own village although a priest and a husbandman there had holdings in neighbouring Monks Eleigh. (See Appendix G.) The richest landowner in the Hundred was the Abbot of Bury St Edmunds whose three chief lordships had a total value of £196 12s 4d. He was closely followed by Sir William Waldegrave of Bures with four chief lordships valued at £163 6s 8d as well as other lands totalling £10 12s 0d and, rather further behind, Thomas Spring whose seventeen holdings had a combined value of £102 16s 8d. The richest landowners, those with holdings valued at £40 or

more, are listed in Table IV (p. 13), the number of holdings, if more than one, being indicated in brackets. The wealth of individuals in Babergh, whether based on moveables, lands, or both, has been examined in some detail. It remains to discuss the level of poverty, as indicated by these returns, and to see how far, if at all, our opinions can be modified by the evidence available. The 353 men described as being 'of no substance' in 1522 comprised little more than eighteen per cent of all those recorded, and almost one half of these were subsequently taxed in 1524. If the term 'poor', in at least a relative sense, can be extended to those whose goods were considered to be worth £1 Os Od, we can add both the 394 recorded as such in 1522 and the 500 or so named for the first time in 1524 and assessed at that level. 8 In round figures this would give us some 1250 out of 2 500 individuals, or a suggested half of the population who were at least relatively poor. Fewer than ten per cent were not recorded as owning goods in either 1522 or 1524, and it is tentatively suggested that under normal circumstances little more than one in ten of the rural population would have lived in conditions of extreme poverty, especially

8 This is based on the assumption that most, if not all, of the poorer men assessed for the first time in 1524 were, in fact, living in the area but not recorded because of their total, or relative, lack of possessions. This suggestion was first made by Julian Cornwall in his articles on Rutland and on English population in general, viz., 'The People of Rutland in 1522', Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 37, 1961-2, pp. 7-28; and 'English Population in the Early Sixteenth Century', Economic History Review, 2nd ser., xxiii, No. I, 1970, pp. 32- 44.

15 when we bear in mind that many of the £1 men were landowners in their own right (nine per cent in 1522) and that others among them may have rented or leased additional lands. This is not to say that these people were in a secure position. They were closely akin to the householders in Jacobean Sheffield who were 'not able to abide the storme of one fortnights sickness but would be thereby driven to beggary'. 9 Nevertheless, when harvests were good or even average, when employment was reasonably secure, acute poverty was undoubtedly the lot of a minority. It took an extraordinary situation, such as the trade depression of 1525, to transform this minority into a temporary majority, to create conditions which could, and did, lead to riot and rebellion, and to necessitate the involvement of the leading peers of England. The commotion in and around Lavenham in that year has been immortalised by Shakespeare in his Henry VIII: For upon these taxations, The clothiers all, not able to maintain The many to them 'longing, have put off The spinsters, carders, fullers, weavers, who, Unfit for other life, compelled by hunger And lack of other means, in desperate manner Daring the event to the teeth, are all in uproar, And danger serves among them (Act I, scene 2) But this was unusual, and quickly resolved by Wolsey's insistence that the clothiers did, indeed, 'maintain the many to them 'longing'. A poor man was not necessarily a destitute man, however much he lived10 on a 'knife's edge', and the evidence from Babergh Hundred suggests that in this part of the world, at least, few were poverty-stricken except in the most extraordinary of circumstances.
