VCH Oxfordshire • Texts in Progress • Goring (July 2019) • © VCH Oxfordshire • Landownership • p. 1 VCH Oxfordshire Texts in Progress Goring Landownership In the mid-to-late Anglo-Saxon period Goring may have been the centre of a sizeable royal estate, parts of which became attached to the burh of Wallingford (Berks.) following its creation in the late 9th century.1 By 1086 there were three estates in the parish, of which two can be identified as the later Goring and Gatehampton manors.2 Goring priory (founded before 1135) accrued a separate landholding which became known as Goring Priory manor, while the smaller manors of Applehanger and Elvendon developed in the 13th century from freeholds in Goring manor’s upland part, Applehanger being eventually absorbed into Elvendon. Other medieval freeholds included Haw and Querns farms and various monastic properties. In the 17th century Goring Priory and Elvendon manors were absorbed into a large Hardwick estate based in neighbouring Whitchurch, and in the early 18th Henry Allnutt (d. 1725) gave Goring manor as an endowment for his new Goring Heath almshouse. Gatehampton manor, having belonged to the mostly resident Whistler family for almost 200 years, became attached c.1850 to an estate focused on Basildon Park (Berks.), until the latter was dispersed in 1929−30 and Gatehampton manor itself was broken up in 1943. The Hardwick estate, which in 1909 included 1,505 a. in Goring,3 was broken up in 1912, and landownership has since remained fragmented. Significant but more short-lived holdings were amassed by John Nicholls from the 1780s, by the Gardiners of Whitchurch from 1819, and by Thomas Fraser c.1820, the first two accumulations including the rectory farm and tithes. -

The Manor, House and Chapel of Holt
THE MANOR, HOUSE AND CHAPEL OF HOLT BY GEORGE F. FARNHAM, M.A., F.S.A., and A. HAMILTON THOMPSON, M.A., D.Litt, F.S.A. I. THE MANOR. II. THE HOUSE. III. THE CHAPEL OF HOI.T. 1.—The Manor The history of Holt for the first one hundred and fifty years after the Conquest is very obscure. The place is not mentioned in the Domesday survey of 1086 or in the incomplete survey of the county of Leicester* taken between 1124 and 1129. In these early years the only information which we can get concerning Holt comes from the distant village of Barleston, where in 1086 it was returned that Geoffrey held under Robert de Buci one carucate and one virgate of land. 1 The entire fief of Robert de Buci subsequently came into the hands of king Henry I, whether by forfeiture or for some unknown reason, and the larger part, in cluding this small fee in Barleston, was granted by the king to Richard Basset, his justiciar. Richard Basset died in 1144. He had married Maud, •daughter of Geoffrey Ridel, and their eldest son Geoffrey took his mother's maiden name. Nichols2 quotes a deed of this Geoffrey Ridel, preserved among the MSS. of Mr. Bridges, in which he notifies to king Henry II that, at the death of Henry I (1 Dec., 1135), Richard Basset his father held 184 carucates and 15 virgates of land as fifteen knights' fees. Among the sub-tenants specified as holding of the old feoffment is Reginald Fitz Urse, with five carucates in Holt and Barleston. -

Christopher Michael Woolgar: "The Development of Accounts for Private Households in England to C,1500 A.D."
Christopher Michael Woolgar: "The development of accounts for private households in England to c,1500 A.D." A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Durham, 1986 Abstract The first written accounts for private households in England date from the late twelfth century. They probably derive from a system of accounting based on an oral report, supported by a minimum of documentation, and they were closely associated with a broad change in the method of provisioning households from a dependence on food farms to a network of supply based on purchase. The earliest private household accounts are daily or "diet" accounts, recording purchases alone. From the earliest examples, there is evidence of a "common form", which is adapted during the thirteenth century in the largest households to record consumption as well as purchases. In the fourteenth century in the largest households, probably preceded by developments in the English royal household and the monasteries, the diet account became a sophisticated instrument of domestic management. There is considerable variation in the account between households, the largest households having separate departmental and wardrobe accounts. To use the diet account for planning and budgetting, it was necessary to have a summary of its contents. From the 1320s and particularly in the late fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries, emphasis was placed on an annual cash, corn and stock account, similar in form to the manorial account, to be set beside the accounts of receivers general and valors to give an overview of the finances of the administration. In the smallest households there is little development in form. -

The Hanged Man: a Story of Miracle, Memory, and Colonialism in the Middle Ages
Published on Reviews in History (https://reviews.history.ac.uk) The Hanged Man: A Story of Miracle, Memory, and Colonialism in the Middle Ages Review Number: 495 Publish date: Wednesday, 1 February, 2006 Author: Robert Bartlett ISBN: 0691126046 Date of Publication: 2006 Publisher: Princeton University Press Place of Publication: Princeton, NJ Reviewer: Nora Berend The Hanged Man is a fascinating account of a miracle and its context. Robert Bartlett, a medieval historian well known for his earlier work on ordeal, conquest, the expansion of Europe and the lives of saints, combines his many fields of expertise in order to analyse the story of one man's death and alleged resurrection. Bartlett writes for the wide public, while at the same time maintaining rigorous standards of scholarship. It is the best kind of popular history book, combining a reliance on all the scholarly tools of the historian's craft with a language accessible to the non-specialist. Indeed, the book is one that I would be happy to recommend to undergraduates, interested general readers and medieval historians alike. The book is based on the story of a Welshman, William Cragh, hanged on the orders of the lord of Gower, William de Briouze. Detailed eyewitness accounts survive of the event, because the evidence was collected and used in the early fourteenth century in the canonisation process of Thomas de Cantilupe, bishop of Hereford: William Cragh, it was claimed, was miraculously brought back to life through the intervention of Thomas de Cantilupe, thus providing proof of Thomas's sanctity. Robert Bartlett uses the story as 'a window on the wider medieval world' (p. -

Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-02214-0 - Bishops, Clerks, and Diocesan Governance in Thirteenth-Century England: Reward and Punishment Michael Burger Frontmatter More information Bishops, Clerks, and Diocesan Governance in Thirteenth-Century England This book investigates how bishops wielded reward and punishment to control their administrative subordinates in thirteenth-century England. Bishops had few effective avenues available to them for disciplining their clerks, and they rarely pursued the ones they had, preferring to secure their clerks’ service and loyalty through rewards. The chief reward was the benefice, often granted for life. Episcopal administrators’ security of tenure in these benefices, however, made them free agents, allowing them to transfer from diocese to diocese or even leave administration altogether; these clerks did not constitute a standing episcopal civil ser- vice. This tenuous bureaucratic relationship made the personal rela- tionship between bishop and clerk more important. Ultimately, many bishops communicated in terms of friendship with their administrators, who responded with expressions of devotion. Michael Burger’s study brings together ecclesiastical, social, legal, and cultural history, pro- ducing the first synoptic study of thirteenth-century English diocesan administration in decades. His research provides an ecclesiastical coun- terpoint to numerous studies of bastard feudalism in secular contexts. Michael Burger is Professor of History and Dean of the School of Liberal Arts at Auburn University at Montgomery. He is the author of The Shaping of the West: From Antiquity to the Enlightenment (2008) and the editor of the two-volume Sources for the History of Western Civilization (2003). His articles have appeared in Historical Research and Mediaeval Studies, among other journals. -
