Dates of creation 1170-1812
Name of Creator: Marrick Priory estates
Language: Latin, English
Administrative History: The remote manor of Marrick in Swaledale, North Yorkshire, was most notable for centuries for the mining of lead in its vicinity which was being undertaken by the time of the Norman conquest. A document authored by Roger de Aske to Roger, Archbishop of York, records the foundation of Marrick Priory as a priory for Benedictine nuns between 1154 and 1158, and there is evidence that it was substantially supported by income deriving from the local lead mines. In 1540 the Priory's closure was brought about by Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries when the prioress and 16 nuns were evicted. It was leased and then purchased by Sir John Uvedale, also known as Sir John Woodhall, former secretary to Anne Boleyn, and then secretary of the council of the North. . Ownership passed to Sir Timothy, Hutton of Marske in 1592. It was subsequently sold to the Blackburn family of Blackburn Hall by his son Matthew in 1633. A complex history of changing ownership of the surrounding lands continued until the nineteenth century decline of lead production in the area and the consequent decline on population. The church itself was abandoned after the end of the Second World War. It subsequently became an outdoor activity and residential centre.
Scope and Content: arranged by period of ownership and comprises section1 Stapleton (13thc- 19th C) – 257 documents; section 2 Marrick Priory (1170-1538) – 20 documents; section 3 Uvedale (1540-1592) - 100 documents; Brackenbury Hutton Purchase (1589-1599) - 13 documents; and Blackburne (1596-1743) - 530 documents.
Acquisition information/Source: Purchased by Lord Brotherton as part of his private collection and bequeathed to the University of Leeds as part of the latter.
Finding Aids: a listing of the collection is available in hard copy in the reading room of Special Collections.
Related material: related material is held in the Hull History Centre in the Papers of the Stapleton (incorporating Errington and Tempest) Family, Lords Beaumont, of Carlton Towers collection (ref U DDCA). The estate papers for Yorkshire contain within them papers for Marrick Priory. U DDCA2/29 contains the founding gift of the priory by Roger de Aske 1154-8 and a number of confirmation charters as well as a gift by Robert de Brus of a toft in Hartlepool in the mid-twelfth century. Most of the later charters also take this form thus indicating the property owned by the priory as well as income pledged by local families.
Publications: Most of the documents held at Hull were published in John Gough Nichols (ed.) Collectanea Topographica et Genealogica, v (1838) pp. 100-24 and 221-59, but five of the items published are now in the Brotherton Library.
