The Templars in Shropshire and Staffordshire

The Templars in Shropshire and Staffordshire The Templars had four estates in Shropshire: the main commandery at Lydley,[1] and smaller holdings at Cardington, Stanton Long and Holt Preen.[2] There was a single commandery in Staffordshire, at Keele. The estates employed bailiffs in addition to the usual farm workers and a single household servant (female or male) who made potage for the farm workers. The farm workers received a benefit in kind each autumn.

There is a good scholarly study of the Templars in Shropshire in the Victoria County History for Shropshire: M.J. Angold, G.C. Baugh, Marjorie M. Chibnall, D.C. Cox, D.T.W. Price, Margaret Tomlinson and B.S. Trinder, ‘House of Knights Templars: Preceptory of Lydley’, in The Victoria History of the Counties of England: A History of the County of Shropshire: Volume 2, ed. A.T. Gaydon and R.B. Pugh (London, 1973), pp. 85–86, online at: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/salop/vol2/pp85-86 There is a scholarly study at G.C. Baugh, W.L. Cowie, J.C. Dickinson, A.P. Duggan, A.K.B Evans, R.H. Evans, Una C. Hannam, P. Heath, D.A. Johnston, Hilda Johnstone, Ann J. Kettle, J.L. Kirby, R. Mansfield and A. Saltman, ‘House of Knights Templar: The preceptory of Keele’, in A History of the County of Stafford: Volume 3, ed. M.W. Greenslade and R.B. Pugh (London, 1970), pp. 267–268, online at: http://www.british- history.ac.uk/vch/staffs/vol3/pp267-268 (accessed 1 October 2015).

The royal custodians’ accounts for 1308–9 are preserved at: TNA E 358/18 rot. 4: Roger Trumwyn: Salop and Staffs: Lidley, Cardington, Longstanton, Prene, Keele. The account follows that of Thomas of St Omer for Norfolk and Suffolk on rot. 3, and is followed by Nicholas of Kyngeston for Guiting in Gloucestershire.

1 Penkridge hall is now on the site of this commandery: east of the Lawley ridge, west of Church Preen, NE of Church Stretton, to the east of the Roman Road to Acton Burnell. For the Templars in Shropshire see: M.J. Angold, G.C. Baugh, Marjorie M. Chibnall, D.C. Cox, D.T.W. Price, Margaret Tomlinson and B.S. Trinder, ‘House of Knights Templars: Preceptory of Lydley’, in The Victoria History of the Counties of England: A History of the County of Shropshire: Volume 2, ed. A.T. Gaydon and R.B. Pugh (London, 1973), pp. 85– 86, online at: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/salop/vol2/pp85-86 (accessed 2 October 2015) 2 According to Angold, Baugh, Chibnall, Cox, Price, Tomlinson and Trinder, ‘House of Knights Templars: Preceptory of Lydley’, pp. 85–86, this is Holt Preen. Holt Preen was a hamlet in Cardington parish; it is now Holt Farm on the NE outskirts of Plaish (http://placenames.org.uk/id/placename/76/006809: lat = 52.56488078, long = - 2.686082011). The larger village of Church Preen to the NE was held by a cell of Cluniac monks from Much Wenlock priory to the NE.

E 358/18 rot. 54. Richard de Hailey (Shrops. & Staffs.), custos of Lydleye; Longestanton, Holpreve, church of Cardington in Shropshire and the manor of Keel in Staffs. Handover to Hospital; covers 3 years, listed separately. This follows Thomas de Ralegh for Devon, and is followed by William Marmion for Aslackby in Lincs.

E 358/19 rot. 36. Richard of Harleye (Salop & Staffs.) – years 5, 6, 7 and handover to Hospital. Lydley, Longstaunton, Holtprene, church of Cardington in Salop and manor of Keel. The account follows John of Bloxham for Oxon, Berks, Wilts and Northants and is followed by Edmund de Burnham for Bucks, which also includes the handover to the Hospital.

In the first year the sheriff sold off all the stock, thus saving the costs of employing two shepherds, a cowherd and a swineherd. There were two corrodians to be supported from the revenues of the manor, in addition to the former lieutenant-commander of the commandery. The employees included a carter, a ploughman, a maid who made pottage for the farm workers, a forester and a ‘servant custodian of the manor’ or bailiff. Unlike Garway and Upleadon in Herefordshire, all workers were paid in grain rather than cash. In autumn the farm workers also received a customary payment.]

the custody of the cantrefs of Arvon, Arllechwedd and Lleyn and the commots of Eifionydd and Creuddyn, which were annexed to the county of Caernafon: ‘Royal Grants and Other Public Records relating to Wales’, Archaeologica Cambrensis, third series, 9 (1863), pp. 183–195, at p. 187. 10 There was a watermill at Lydley, leased out for 26 s 8 d per year. 11 Free stone: a fine-grained, uniform and soft stone, suitable for carving with chisel. 12 Quartera – the meaning is unclear, but implies a quarter, perhaps a quadrangle. However, E 358/20 rot. 5d.gives quarera, a quarry; so the commandery apparently had a stone quarry. 13 There was no income from the dovecote because it was newly built and not yet stocked. 14 There was no income from herbage in the wood or forest because it was grazed by the manor’s own draught animals (averia). 15 Malt oats chaff. 16 9 s and 4 d from sale of cows’ and ewes’ milk. 17 £7 – 22 d for one sack and three stone of wool. 18 The sale of the stock allowed the custodian to save on payment to two shepherds, a cowherd and a swineherd – see below. 19 The unit of account for the first figure is missing: presumably it should be s’ and the figures should be 61 s 9 d.

20 A quittance, discharge or settlement of a debt. 21 Vomer -is = summer plough-share. 22 Basis: at the same point in the Longstanton accounts this is bastis, staffs or poles. Alternatively it could be a variant on vasis. Basia = bee hive, which does not seem likely in the context. 23 In E 358/20 rot 5 d there is an ‘et’ between these two words. 24 The potage at Lydley contained a quarter of salt and 1 quarter 7 bushels of oat flour. The employees with specified roles (ploughmen, carters, maid, forester) received a ration of ‘mixture’, which in year one at Lydley comprised purely wheat. 25 Uncto = grease or fat (for ointment) Viridi grecio = Verdigris (green copper); vivo argento = mercury – this is to make ointment to treat diseased sheep. 26 Washing, shearing and spinning the wool of 254 sheep cost 2 s 3½ d. 27 The copyist has omitted the next sentence, which appears in E 358/20 rot 5d: ‘Et in lacte ceruis’ empt’ p(ro) sustentat(i)one agnor(um) temp(or)e agnellac(i)o(n)is, xvj s sicut cont(inetur) ibidem.’ 28 Weeding the grain. 29 Reaping, collecting and tying in tasses (ricks, haycocks). 30 Two shillings and 11 pence for ‘cirotecis’ given by custom to the famuli in autumn with those given before autumn. Ciroteca (or chirotheca) = a glove, so are the famuli being given gloves? Alternatively this is tiraca or theriac, a cure-all medical concoction, which the famuli are being given in autumn to strengthen them against winter ills. On theriac see Christiane Nockels Fabbri, ‘Treating Medieval Plague: The Wonderful Virtues of Theriac’, in Early Science and Medicine, 12.3 (2007), 247–83.

31 A maid made the farmworkers’ potage at Lydley, even though there had been Templar brothers here before the arrests in January 1308. There is no mention of an ancilla below – instead, there is J Daye, who presumably is the maid. 32 A servant is employed as custodian of the manor from January to 29 September, paid 1½ d. per day; Gooder, Temple Balsall, p. 31, calls ‘the servant of the manor’ a bailiff. 33 In left margin. 34 See the original grant in ‘Corrodia petita de domibus Templariorum, annis Io & IIo Edwardi II’, in: Documents Illustrative of English History in the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Centuries, selected from the Records of the Department of the Queen’s Remembrancer of the Exchequer, ed. Henry Cole (London, 1844), pp. 139–230 (edition of TNA: PRO E 142/9), at pp. 150–1 (mem. 4). 35 He had originally been granted a corrody comprising to live in Lydley commandery, eat at the sergeants’ table, have a robe like that worn by the garciones (lads), and five solidi a year. Instead of this he will receive 2 pence a day for his food, five solidi a year for his clothing and five solidi a year for his other necessities. 36 In r(ati)one examinac(i)o(n)e: E 358/20 rot. 5d gives a better reading: inquisit(i)one + examinac(i)o(n)e.

Below it appears to be farina. 41 Brasium cursale = second-grade malt. 42 Presumably this is the ancilla mentioned in the same context under ‘expenses’ above. So the ‘Daye’ can be male or female. 43 Intra agnos? – as this person helps at lambing time. In the ‘expenses’ section above he was helping the shepherd at lambing time. 44 Assuming that a p’pōī = prepositi, to a reeve, then a reeve was employed ‘by custom’ in the summer.

50 Clouts, nails/rivets for the wagons and carts, tallow, pole-cord, a halter. 51 16 d. for the meadows to be mowed and the hay made. 52 38 s 11 d for the grain to be weeded, reaped, bound into sheaves and collected into ricks. 53 As at Lydley (see above) in autumn the farmworkers are customarily given gloves: see note above. 54 As at Lydley, there is a ‘house maid’, who is paid 18 d. This compares poorly to the carter and the four ploughmen who earned 23 s between them, an average of 55.2 d each. Of course we do not know how many days they worked; the maid may have been employed only to make pottage during harvest. Regrettably these wage payments cannot be compared to those at Lydley because there all the stipends are combined into a single figure. However, note that the maid at Longstanton was paid the same as the garcio or lad who made potage for the farm workers at Preen – so the wage was linked to the job, not to her gender. 55 Again, this is a bailiff.

56 Over 37 weeks the house maid was paid 2 quarters, 2½ bushels and a peck of wheat, while at Keele the garcio received one quarter of ‘mixture’ per 16 weeks – which would have totalled 2 quarters, two bushels and two pecks for 37 weeks (8 bushels to a quarter, 4 pecks to a bushel: so in one quarter there are 32 pecks; so the rate of pay was two pecks a week). 57 averijs agistatis: relates to an agistment, rate levied on or profit made from the pasturing of another person's cattle (OED): so the Templars had charged for pasture for draught animals. 58 Pedale ferreum = plough iron.

59 One and a half bushels of salt for the farmworkers’ pottage. 60 Half the cost of moving and making the hay at Long Stanton; so presumably half the area of haymeadow. 61 As at Lydley and Longstanton, the farm workers receive gloves, or ‘theriac’, in the autumn by custom. 62 This garcio or ‘lad’ earned the same as the maid at Longstanton, for the same task. 63 Three employees being paid one quarter each per each 12 weeks for 27 weeks and three days does not equal nine quarters and three bushels: the total should be around six quarters seven bushels. The account in E 358/20 rot. 5 gives 37 weeks and eight days at this point, which works out correctly. (Note that there are eight bushels to the quarter.) 64 As above, the acreage of land sown with oats has not been filled in.

But there was also income from iron mining, coal mining, sale of pasture, herbage, hay and apples and of cows’ and ewes’ milk, and income from rents in Newcastle under Lyme, Shropshire and Cheshire. The commandery had its own mill, for which it employed a miller. Other employees included carters, 8 ploughmen, 2 shepherds, a cowherd and a cook; there was also a servant acting as custodian of the manor, or bailiff. As at Lydley, Stanton Long and Holt Preen, it was the custom to give the farmworkers a benefit in kind in autumn. Again, as at Lydley the bulk of the animal stock was sold in the first year. Note that 8 lambs were paid in tithe for the 89 lambs born in the year; and tithe was also paid on wool production and fleeces.]
