2) 48. THE PRIORY OF DRAX In 1324 (fn. 10) Archbishop Melton issued a letter on behalf of the priory, in which he stated that the priory, because of the inundations of the Rivers Ouse and Aire which surrounded it, the frequent invasions of the Scots and other enemies, and the loss of cattle, had become so impoverished that it was hindered from its works of piety and hospitality. The church of Bingley, as already noted, was one of the founder's gifts to the priory. (fn. 11) The gift was confirmed by Archbishop Roger, and the prior and canons appear to have frequently appointed one of their number to serve it. A strange episode is related in this connexion in the Register of Archbishop Bainbridge, (fn. 12) in which John Wilkynson, canon of Drax, was involved. A rumour had been set about that, as Wilkynson in his examination put it, 'there was a grete good in the cuntrey which myght be gote, if there was any connyng men in the cuntrey.' In other words, that there was some hidden treasure at a place called Mixenden near Halifax, which could be obtained by a series of incantations. It is, perhaps, one of the most extraordinary stories of mediaeval necromancy on record. Six persons were charged with the offence, the chief of whom was Thomas Jameson, who had served the office of Sheriff of York in 1497, and been lord mayor in 1504, but the canon of Drax had taken no small share in the venture. One of the witnesses, Henry Banke, chaplain of Addingham, said that he had heard Brother John the parish priest of Bingley state in the house of Christopher Hardwick of Addingham 'that there was as moch goode in a place besides Halifax as wold raunsome a kyng; and that oone Leventhorp nowe dede had seene the foote of the kist, and the devell sitting upon it, and that he had put a swerd to remove it, and he nypped it a soundre in the myddist, as it had been a rish; and the said Sir John said it coold never be gott but with losse of a Cristen sole.' The evidence of 'Sir John Wilkynson chanon of Drax, sworne and examyned,' is entered in the Register. He admitted having made 'a cerkill' of 30 ft. compass, and that he had agreed to call up a spirit called Belphares, and he related how, when a boy of twelve, he had been present at an invocation made at Wakefield by 'a scolar of Orlyaunce' (Orleans), for a pair of bedes; he had seen 'in a glasse, a woman that had the beides in her hand, and a sprite, crouned like a Kyng, in a chare of gold, and the clerke said that he was a sprite.' He admitted that he and Jameson, and another priest, James Richardson, 'were sworne upon a booke, and confered togadir to make a lamina for invocation of a sprite called Obirion,' that Jameson had agreed to send a horse for him to Otley 'the Fridaie afore the first chaunge of Marche, to come to Yorke to hyme (Jameson), to make the lamyna, which must be made betwixt the chaunge of the mone and the pryme, and that was Mondaie, Tuysdaie, and Wednesdaie; and to make their invocation on Thursday after at v of the cloke in the mornyng, at Yorke, in a chambir to be provided to the said Sir James (Richardson), havyng iiij wyndowes, that is to say in every quarter oone.' He said that Jameson came to Bingley on St. Matthew's Day, and showed him that Richardson had made all ready, and desired him to go to York, and 'wirke the warke' with Richardson. He admitted that his books were at Drax Abbey, and that Richardson had brought eighteen singing loaves, which he himself had given to one of the others; but he denied that he had ever said that he would consecrate them, or that they should appear in the likeness of a child to the sprite, but he confessed that they were all agreed that the ground where 'the cerkyll' was should be hallowed, and that a collect was copied out of the mass book, to be recited at the hallowing of the incense and fire, and that in the 'book of experiment' was the collect for the hallowing of the 'great holy water.' He admitted that he had said that their works might be done as well in one place as in another, for he 'cowde make the spirite Belphares carye it wherdir he wold,' and he also said that he had stated 'opynely that the goode cowde not be had without losse of a Cristen Saule, and therefore he wold not execute it.' The story is too long to be dealt with here, as it only bears incidentally on Drax, whose canon figured so conspicuously in it. All the six persons charged were found guilty, and punishments were awarded. They had to walk through the streets of York on the Sunday following, carrying banners with grotesque characters and symbols, and were to be publicly scourged by the dean of Christianity at certain stages. On the Thursday before the Nativity of St. John the Baptist much the same penance was to be performed at Bingley.

5) Later History. Then occurred a revival of the College under the guidance of Procter and Philpott (1799–1861), when annual entries rose from none in 1800, 1801, and 1802, to 33 in 1828, with an average of about 20 from 1800 to 1850. In 1861, however, there took place the greatest disaster in the history of the College, from which it did not recover until after the First World War. The elevation of Philpott to the see of Worcester created a vacancy in the Mastership. There were five voters, two of whom, Charles Kirkby Robinson and Francis James Jameson, were candidates. Jameson and another voted for Robinson, two for Jameson, but Robinson, following an old tradition of the College, voted for himself, and so secured the election. Unfortunately, there was some misunderstanding, the nature of which is still a mystery, and Jameson considered himself aggrieved. Instead of exercising his right of appealing to the Visitor, he began, or allowed his friends to begin, an agitation among members of the University. This he did in spite of the oath he had taken at his election to a fellowship not to divulge secrets which if made public might be to the detriment of the society. It is surprising that the University took part in a domestic dispute with which it had no concern, but interfere it did, condemned Robinson, and 'sent him to Coventry'. A pamphlet war ensued lasting for several years, and the College rapidly declined in popularity and efficiency because of the inferiority complex created by the treatment it underwent. The disaster was all the worse because of the length of Robinson's term of office. He continued as Master until his death in 1909, and the condition of St. Catharine's during the later years of this long Mastership was deplorable. The efforts of the tutors between 1892 and 1895, while resulting in the acquisition of a playing-field and in the restoration of the chapel, were powerless to remove the aversion everywhere shown to the College, and at length they gave way to apathy and inefficiency. The undergraduates shared the general odium, and not unnaturally came to be drawn in great part from an inferior stratum and to fall in number. In spite of this, many if not most of them struggled hard to uphold the honour of their College, and it may be said with truth that they were not altogether unsuccessful. Several of those still alive are gratefully conscious of the beneficial effect upon their characters of this struggle against adversity.

11) Maind Roads of North Westmoreland - HERON SYKE, KENDAL AND EAMONT BRIDGE. It would appear that almost immediately after the Rising of 1745 a scheme was set on foot to obtain a Turnpike Act for this road; meetings were held in both North and South Westmorland but on account of considerable opposition the scheme was delayed. Lancashire settled the question first and obtained an Act, 24 Geo. II, 1751, for repairing and widening the road from Preston to Lancaster and from thence through Carnforth, Over Kellet, Borwick, Priest Hutton and Dalton Park to Heron Syke. Two years later Westmorland obtained its own first Turnpike Act, 26 Geo. II, c. 52, 1753, for widening and repairing the continuation of this road northward, that is from Heron Syke to Kirkby-in-Kendale, and from thence through the town of Shap to Eamont Bridge. On 15 January, 1802, a presentment was made to Quarter Sessions that part of the highway from Appleby to Penrith, to wit in the parish of Brougham, beginning at a gate hanging across the said way at the end of Ric. Jameson's barn at Moorhouses and so toward Penrith to a ford across the river Eamont adjoining Brougham Castle, for a length of 1400 yards, is in great decay and a common nuisance and that the inhabitants of Brougham ought to repair the same.

16) WINSTANLEY & Manor History-Winstanley is situated on the eastern lower slopes of Billinge Hill, 440 ft. above sea level being reached, on the edge of an extensive colliery district, several coal-mines being found in the township itself. The principal object in the landscape is the mass of trees surrounding Winstanley Hall, the grounds of which occupy nearly one-third of the whole area of the township. The rest of the country is divided into fields, usually separated by thin hedges, and sometimes by low stone walls. The arable fields produce crops of potatoes, oats, and wheat, whilst there are pastures and meadows, with isolated plantations. The surface soil is sandy, mixed with clay in places, with sandstone rock not far from the surface. The park is bounded on two sides by the roads from Billinge to Wigan and from Haydock to Upholland, which cross at its southern point. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Company's Liverpool and Wigan Railway passes through near the northern boundary. A colliery railway goes south-west through the township. Withington lies in the north-west corner, and Longshaw on the western boundary; south of this is Moss Vale. Two detached portions of the township lie within Billinge Chapel End; one of these is called Blackley Hurst.The township has an area of 1,859 acres, (fn. 1) and in 1901 the population numbered 564. Freeholdeers-Thomas Marsh, John Buller, William Jameson, and Thomas Appleton, as 'papists,' registered estates here in 1717. (fn. 22) Engl. Cath. Nonjurors, 97, 125, 135, 151.

On enrolling the indenture of an apprentice, £20, £10, and latterly £6, was paid; but some of the members refusing to comply with this charge, 2s. 6d. being all that can be demanded by law, the company, in a hasty fit of resentment, resolved to sell their property, to prevent those apprentices who paid only the legal sum for enrolment from enjoying any benefit therefrom.

On 9th September, 1556, Fleming, with consent of James, archbishop of Glasgow, and of Sir Mark Jamesone, vicar of the choir, liferenter of the tenement and orchard above referred to, granted that property in feu to David Rollok of Kincladie and Marion Levingstone, his spouse, and to Robert Rollok, their son and his heirs, for payment of (1) £5 to be distributed according to Sir Mark Jamesone's foundation; (2) 42s. 10d. to the vicars of the choir for prayers for the soul of John Paniter; (3) 8s. to the rector of Glasgow primo; (4) 5s. to the regent or masters of the pedagogy; and (5) 4s. 2d. to the poor of the hospital of St. Nicholas, extending in whole to £8 [Notarial Copy of Charter in the Archives of the City.

52) Town of Heap Lancaster County. Church A chapel existed at Heywood before the Reformation, but it appears to have had no 'ornaments' except a bell in 1552. (fn. 54) It is said to have been rebuilt by Robert Heywood about 1640, (fn. 55) and his descendant, a century later, in selling the estates proposed to sell also the site and advowson of the chapel. It appears, however, that the rector of Bury has always presented the curate. The chapel has probably been used regularly for public worship from the beginning of the 17th century, when it was 'maintained by the inhabitants.' (fn. 56) The Commonwealth Commissioners in 1650 found that there was no endowment beyond' the use of £5,' left by William Holme. (fn. 57) Later contributions raised the endowment to £8 10s. by 1718. (fn. 58) The registers begin in 1778. The church was rebuilt in 1860, (fn. 59) and a separate district was assigned to it in 1864. (fn. 60) The following have been curates and vicars:— (fn. 61) FOOT NOTES FOR ABOVE- 54. Cb. Goods (Chet. Soc), 46. The chapel was purchased by the inhabitants; Raines, Chant. (Chet. Soc), ii, 277.

And if any curate or minister shall be imposed on the said chapel or shall officiate there who shall not be conformable as aforesaid, then my said trustees shall dispose of all the said rents and profits as they shall think fit'; ibid. 59.

The list is taken from the Church P. at Chester, and Raines MSS. ix, fol. 8, 9.

53) Education in the County of York ...The failure of these colleges left the Grammar School and several small private schools to cater for the middle classes, and it seems likely that not more than 250 boys were receiving a secondary education in Hull in the 1860s. Under the mastership of J. D. Sollitt (1838–68) the Grammar School became an English and commercial school of some 50 to 60 boys, scholastically and materially decrepit and without university connexions; and neither the town council nor the Charity Trustees showed any desire to reform it. (fn. 88) Consequently Robert Jameson and other prominent businessmen sought to establish another proprietary college as a limited liability company. They planned to amalgamate the Grammar School with it, but this scheme was defeated by the Charity Trustees' insistence on the ratepayers' right to have their sons entered at the new college as they had at the Grammar School. Despite this setback and the fact that the shares were not fully subscribed, the Hull and East Riding College was opened in 1867 with the Revd. William Lucas as principal, Jameson himself accepting much of the financial responsibility. For several years numbers were low —94 in 1868, only 70 in 1870—and the school ran at a loss until 1873. Thereafter conditions improved, though the directors were never free from financial anxiety. During its life this was accepted as Hull's leading school: it introduced the Cambridge 'Local' examinations into Hull, and established new academic standards; it restored local links with the universities; and it educated many of Hull's foremost professional and businessmen. (fn. 89) ...An 'artisan scholarship' system linking, however tenuously, the elementary schools with the Grammar School and Hull and East Riding College, was founded by subscription in 1874 to mark the educational good works of Robert Jameson; ...Hull and East Riding College: the third proprietary sch. promoted in Hull to improve 'middle-class' education, this started in Osborne St. in 1866 but moved to a new building in Park St. in 1867. Its infancy was sickly, but it grew strong scholastically if not financially under Francis Bond (1881–93), numbers reaching 190. It closed in 1893 when Hymers College opened. From beginning to end its chief supporter was Robert Jameson. SOURCE:'Education', in A History of the County of York East Riding: Volume 1, the City of Kingston Upon Hull, ed.

56) Topograhy of Roby. Roby, a township, in the parish of Huyton, union of Prescot, hundred of West Derby, S. division of Lancashire, 2 miles (S. S. W.) from Prescot; containing 444 inhabitants. This place, the Rabil of the Domesday survey, was the property of the Lathoms soon after the Conquest; and in the 32nd of Edward I., Robert de Lathom had a market and fair, as well as free warren, chartered for his manor of Robye. The Earl of Derby is now lord of the manor, which is subject to the court at Knowsley. The township is beautifully situated, and comprises 1032 acres, of very good land, undulated, and well wooded. The soil is various, and in some parts rich; the air salubrious and healthy; and the scenery embraces views of the Cheshire hills and the Welsh mountains. The features of the country around have of late undergone, and are still undergoing, great improvements through the liberality of the Earl of Derby. There is a red- sandstone quarry. The Liverpool and Manchester railway has a station here. Roby Hall, with 98 acres of freehold land, is the seat and property of Richard Edwards, Esq., a magistrate of the county. The Hall has a central projection formed of three sides of an octagon, and is flanked by two small but neat greenhouses, presenting a pleasing termination to the line of the front: a light iron balustrade runs partly across the first story, affording access to the French windows which open to the lawn. This handsome structure is seated on the side of a vale that separates it from the beautiful village of Childwall. Edenhurst, with 30 acres of land, is the property and residence of Richard Earle, Esq., also a magistrate, and who is agent to the Earl of Derby. Holly Grove belongs to William Jameson, Esq. Whitfield-House Academy, established in 1820, is successfully carried on by Mr. John Theophilus Baron. A school for about 60 children is supported by subscription.
