  • The Open Fields of Cheshire
    THE OPEN FIELDS OF CHESHIRE BY DOROTHY SYLVESTER, M.A., F.R.G.S. /CHESHIRE has long lain in the no man's land of early \-s cultivation systems. In a borderland zone, and with the assembled information as to open arable lands limited to a few examples, it has been widely believed that common arable fields had little place in the development of Cheshire agronomy. H. L. Gray came nearest to the truth when he wrote in 1915 in English Field Systems that the vestiges of open common field mentioned in Tudor surveys suggested that earlier most hamlets in the county had had a certain amount of open arable land. Yet he only named twelve places in which it occurred. This opinion received little support from English historians and in 1938, the late Dr. C. S. Orwin's view was summed up in these words: "In Cumberland, Westmorland and Cheshire only a few scattered instances (i.e. of open field) have been found, those in Cheshire being mostly in the neighbourhood of Chester." (1) Nor was Orwin alone in assuming that it was correct to leave Cheshire almost a blank on the distribution map of open field in England. In the late 1940s a number of Manchester geographers began work on rural Cheshire from various angles and not by any means with the open-field question as their main concern. In particular, Mrs. Vera Chapman made a study of the Dee and Gowy valleys in Cheshire from which originated the paper Open Fields in West Cheshire, published in TRANSACTIONS Volume 104.

  • Rural Settlement in Cheshire Some Problems of Origin and Classification
    RURAL SETTLEMENT IN CHESHIRE SOME PROBLEMS OF ORIGIN AND CLASSIFICATION BY DOROTHY SYLVESTER, M.A., F.R.G.S. Read 20 October 1949 HPHE Cheshire Plain, girdled and to some extent broken by hills, .1 is an area of mixed rural settlement patterns. Occasional small, compact villages are to be found in a broad spread of dis­ persed and semi-dispersed dwellings. Colonization has been slow and, since the Norman Conquest, piecemeal; and the process of enclosing heath and woodland is still incomplete. Lying in the borderland between Welsh and Midland English settlement and land use systems, its inclusion in one or the other system has long been debatable. Gray (1) and more recently the Orwins (2) showed it as lying just to the north of the boundary of what Gray calls the Two- and Three-Field System and the Orwins the Open Field System. Meitzen (3) compromised and divided it into an area of dispersed and an area of compact settlement. A more detailed examination of the county from this point of view suggests that more probably the two systems overlapped here, and that a third folk element, the Scandinavian, explains some features of settlement in Wirral and parts of East Cheshire. The result would seem to be an area of predominantly scattered settlement interspersed with small nucleated villages, representing in part Welsh, in part English and Scandinavian types, but showing also varying degrees of hybridization in individual townships of pre-Conquest date and the addition of a not inconsiderable number of settlements of post- Conquest origin. The origirT of rural settlements is a complex subject, and it is rendered no less so in Cheshire by the absence to date of any con­ siderable central collection of historical documents and maps.

  • Macclesfield Court Rolls 1369-70 Escape List (Fines for Allowing Animals to Graze in the Forest) North Cheshire FHS Journal
    Earliest evidence for the Plontt/Plant name in Macclesfield Court Records Dr John S Plant With a financial contribution towards searches and translations by W Keith Plant (President of the Plant Family History Society) and, in particular, by Prof Richard E Plant who has also provided the Appendix on the Black Prince’s vaccaries September 2012 Introduction to Court Rolls The Macclesfield Court Records consist of hundreds of Rolls handwritten in abbreviated Latin and they are almost entirely un-indexed, so that a full search is demanding if not impracticable. They are currently held at The National Archives (TNA) in London. They relate to the Manor, Borough, and Forest of Macclesfield. The following outlines the attempts, so far, to trace back the evidence for the Plont/Plant name in these rolls to an early date. Other evidence indicates that the main Plant family, as determined by DNA evidence, was initially clustered around the boundary between east Cheshire (Macclesfield Hundred) and the northernmost tip of Staffordshire (Leek parish) in the North-West Midlands of England. Though there is earlier evidence for the name elsewhere on the Continent and in England, this article is concerned with the earliest evidence for the name in this specific main homeland. The location of the Royal demesne, where the Lord’s Park was enlarged and constantly repaired during the fourteenth century, is now, according to C.S.Davies, by Park Lane and the Gawsworth Road in Macclesfield. During when the Black Prince (1330-76) was Lord of the Manor, war horses were bred and cattle were imported from Wales, among other places, for fattening.1 About 5 miles north-east of the Royal demesne was Rainow, where Ranulpf Plont was renting land by 1384 as stated explicitly in the Forest Rolls.
