6 Crick and the Domesday Book HISTORICAL NOTES THE MANORS OF CRICK - 6 Crick and the Domesday Book – Appendix The one part of the Domesday entry for Crick which has yet to be discussed, is that concerning the four "sokemen" who were attached to the manor. Like all Domesday subjects, the question of 'soke' is far from simple, tart because it is both essential to our knowledge of the period, and of significance even to our society today, it is worth some attention. When the king granted a manorial estate to a subject, besides the gift of the land involved, there were a number of rights, privileges and associated profits which properly speaking belonged to the king, but which could accompany the grant. One of the most important was known as 'sac and soke', which in practice implied local jurisdiction, the power to dispense justice in the manor court if the lord had one, and to exact and 'retain fines as profits, at the same time giving protection to all tenants of the manor. The word 'Sac1 or in its proper form 'SACO1 meant a dispute, quarrel, crime or cause for legal jurisdiction, and stood most probably for the right to hold a local court to deal with offences, and certainly to collect fines. 'Soke’, or 'SOCN' meant literally a seeking, that is of a lord or protector, derived from 'secan1, to search for, so that the two words together have the meaning already given. The district over which the jurisdiction was exercised was the 'soke' or 'sokeland', and it is a term still familiar in relation to Peterborough, where the abbot was originally granted the jurisdiction and profits over a considerable portion of Northamptonshire. Such large areas of sokeland were not numerous but there were hundreds of examples of a modest size, for soke was not necessarily confined to a single manor1s territory. The lord of one manor could have soke of a number of others, some near, some more distant, or even include parts of other manors. Examples of such sokes in our neighbourhood include Fawsley, Naseby, Stanford and East Haddon, all holding soke over nearby manors or parts of manors. 'Sokemen' were, literally, those men who had sought the protection of a particular lord at some time in the past and who usually tenanted sokeland freely. They were generally free, and to use the Domesday Book expression "could go with their land to what lord they pleased", although there were some sokemen by the time of the survey who were not able to change to another lord. In fact, in this county, most men who were free were sokmen, in contrast to the eastern counties where there appeared to be two separate classes, freemen and sokemen, but the distinction between them is not at all certain. In Crick, the four sokemen were within the jurisdiction of the lord of the Manor, paying lOd. per annum as a fee, but the location of their land is not given. Because they were specifically attached to Crick, their holdings must have been outside the manor, and the most likely place is the area of Shenley. As we have seen, the hidage assessment for this area had to be added to that for Crick to make up the 4 hide unit, whilst it was included in the manor of Yelvertoft, so that it seems very reasonable to assume that this was the land held by the sokemen of Crick. There are the remains of some very early field-systems in Shenley, marking it out as an individual area of land separate from the neighbouring vills. When the early (iron-age) settlement at Crick was established, the area of land was larger than it now is, and Shenley was part of it; but during the Saxon occupation when Yelvertoft was carved out of parts of Lilbourne, Elkington and Crick, Shenley was taken out of Crick into the territory of Telvertoft, where it remained. The holders of Shenley probably preferred to stay within the soke of Crick, which would account for their successors continuing as sokemen belonging to that manor. The interesting thing about soke, is that even today, everyone in the United Kingdom is within the soke, that is, the jurisdiction of the Crown, who administer justice and collect the fines and profits associated with the process. Soke, in fact, is a foundation stone of civilisation, and without it there would be anarchy. E. W. Timmins Copied by J Goodger in 2005 from Crick News Christmas1980 1.

  • Recollections of the First Hundred Years of Badby and Fawsley Women’S
    Recollections of the first hundred years of Badby and Fawsley Women’s Institute 1918 – 2018 Preface The original purpose of the Women's Institute was to bring together women of the countryside who might otherwise be isolated. Badby and Fawsley W.I. was formed in February, 1918 by Lady Julia Knightley of Fawsley Hall. It enabled local women to meet with others who lived in a rural setting. Activities and meetings leant toward domestic matters. Lady Knightley wished that the ladies of Badby be joined together by the 'common ideals of truth, tolerance, justice and friendship'. Protocol had to be, and was, adhered to rigidly, with some members getting irate if it was not. Rules were kept. Institutes at the beginning were considerably helped and financed by the Board of Agriculture but by 1922 the Institutes had to stand on their own feet. Lady Knightley was, inevitably, chosen as the first President. She remained President for 15 years until she moved from Fawsley. It had been her drive and energy which had caused the group’s inception because she strongly believed that belonging to the Institute would “brighten the lives and widen the outlook of the women who lived in the country districts.” Sadly all Archive material from early years has been mislaid. It was thought that it had been lodged at the County Archives but searches there have drawn a blank. 1 Meetings The first meetings were held in the ‘club room’ of the Maltsters, and then in a small room which was formerly the infant’s school room.

  • Sheep and Enclosure in Sixteenth-Century Northamptonshire* by JOHN MARTIN
    Sheep and Enclosure in Sixteenth-Century Northamptonshire* By JOHN MARTIN Abstract It is commonly accepted that there was a slackening of the enclosure movement, if not outright reconversion to arable, in England in the latter half of the sixteenth century. This is usually ascribed to lower wool prices making shecp-grazing less attractive. There are difficulties with this pcrspective linking prices and enclosure activity directly. The example of Northampton- shire, a county in the forefront of enclosure, suggests that there was no trend away from sheep-farming. Two surveys of sheep numbers on enclosed pasture, conducted in 1547 and 1564, indicate that sheep-grazing spread throughout the county, and that grazing was concentrated on deserted village sites. Whilc there was some reduction in the size of large flocks, this was more than balanced by the proliferation of smaller flocks - overall sheep numbers increased in this pcriod. By the end of the century, sheep flocks were grazing on enclosed pasture in half of thc parishes in Northamptonshirc. INCE Bowden's detailed work on wool prices was its role in explaining the pattern prices for the period 149o-161o , it of the Tudor enclosure movement. He S has been argued that, after the mid- sought to draw a dividing line down the sixteenth century, lower wool prices rela- middle of the sixteenth century on this tive to those of wheat deflected graziers basis. from sheep-farming and halted the process Thc rcason why farmers were enclosing their land of enclosure, or even caused a considerable for pasture in thc first half of the sixteenth century reconversion of pasture to arable land.
