PA R E F C E . WHILE t he two preceding volumes deal with the develop ment of milling appliances and processes, the present has for its subject the origin, progress, and supersession of the many curious customs and laws which for centuries environed mills conducted under feudal restrictions and regulations. The primary and main laws were those by which was established and maintained the right or privilege of milling soke; which gave to landowners, royal or otherwise, the sole power of building and working corn mills, and which bound the tenants on the lands to yield all their grinding custom to such mills. This privilege is shown to have been originated not by any statute, but purely by local manorial custom, and to have been perpetuated in virtue of such recognised custom, or, in other words, by common law irrespective of statute. Primarily, of course, no injustice was involved in tenants being compelled to grind at mills built especially for their convenience and comfort by the local capitalist and landowner, the manorial lord. But the necessity for the exercise of these philanthropic motives on the part of landowners early passed away, and in later ages soke mills were maintained by manorial lords solely as valuable sources of income. When matters had thus vastly changed their aspect, popular hostility to manorial mills very generally resulted in the astriction of tenants being allowed to lapse, and the special privileges of landlords being therefore perforce abandoned. Thus milling soke, as it came into existence without authority of statute law, terminated at length without statutory enactment of any kind; purely in accordance with the demands and the needs of modern times. Still, in even the present century there existed some few survivals of ancient feudal mills; and the final phase of milling soke is illustrated by accounts of the manner vii viii P REFACE. in w hich, at these places, claims that could not legally be contested were abolished by the expedient of pur chasing them and voluntarily abandoning them on behalf of the community. Many customs more or less curious naturally sprang up in connection with the maintenance of the privileges of soke mills during several centuries; and many local laws from time to time established to enforce the soke were confirmed in the various law courts of the realm. Various usages relating to the ordinary conduct of the trade concurrently arose, and both of these classes of customs affecting the maintenance and working of feudal mills we have endeavoured to trace down to modern times. A variety of matters relating to the lowly condition of the medieval craft are utilised to indicate the difficult condition of affairs under which the old-time miller pursued his calling; not least of which was found in the slanderous and ill-natured odium cast upon him ordinarily —and, as we endeavour to show, frequently unreasonably and unjustifiably—by the poorer consumers of the scanty grain supply of those early days. It had not been our intention to pursue the subject of the development of appliances and mills, treated of in the earlier volumes, beyond the stage of grinding by the natural forces of water or wind; but in view of the lack of any existing history of the introduction of steam and roller mills, we have been induced to append to the present volume some brief synopsis of the facts relating to the origin and development of each of these modern perfections of milling resources. 19 B runswick Street, Liverpool, March 1900.

The royal estates, always tolerably extensive, were usually well supplied with mills, which were either leased out to millers or worked by sworn keepers, as at Chester, Dublin, &c. King's mills consequently abounded, but they pos sessed no special rights not enjoyed by any other soke mills. One or two facts illustrative of this ordinary holding of royal mills may be cited. Mills p assed from the sovereign by ordinary grant or sale. Stephen parted with one in a manner which combined a little of both methods, though we fear the value of the mill was by no means equal to the amount the monastic purchasers paid for it: “Stephen, King of the English, to the arch- Hist, Mon, bishops, bishops, abbots, sheriffs, justices, vice-barons, * * * ministers, and all his faithful people of England, French and English, greeting.

  • The Settlement of East and West Flegg in Norfolk from the 5Th to 11Th Centuries
    TITLE OF THESIS The settlement of East and West Flegg in Norfolk from the 5th to 11th centuries By [Simon Wilson] Canterbury Christ Church University Thesis submitted For the Degree of Masters of Philosophy Year 2018 ABSTRACT The thesis explores the –by and English place names on Flegg and considers four key themes. The first examines the potential ethnicity of the –bys and concludes the names carried a distinct Norse linguistic origin. Moreover, it is acknowledged that they emerged within an environment where a significant Scandinavian population was present. It is also proposed that the cluster of –by names, which incorporated personal name specifics, most likely emerged following a planned colonisation of the area, which resulted in the takeover of existing English settlements. The second theme explores the origins of the –by and English settlements and concludes that they derived from the operations of a Middle Saxon productive site of Caister. The complex tenurial patterns found between the various settlements suggest that the area was a self sufficient economic entity. Moreover, it is argued that royal and ecclesiastical centres most likely played a limited role in the establishment of these settlements. The third element of the thesis considers the archaeological evidence at the –by and English settlements and concludes that a degree of cultural assimilation occurred. However, the presence of specific Scandinavian metal work finds suggests that a distinct Scandinavian culture may have survived on Flegg. The final theme considers the economic information recorded within the folios of Little Domesday Book. It is argued that both the –by and English communities enjoyed equal economic status on the island and operated a diverse economy.

  • The Medieval English Borough
    THE MEDIEVAL ENGLISH BOROUGH STUDIES ON ITS ORIGINS AND CONSTITUTIONAL HISTORY BY JAMES TAIT, D.LITT., LITT.D., F.B.A. Honorary Professor of the University MANCHESTER UNIVERSITY PRESS 0 1936 MANCHESTER UNIVERSITY PRESS Published by the University of Manchester at THEUNIVERSITY PRESS 3 16-324 Oxford Road, Manchester 13 PREFACE its sub-title indicates, this book makes no claim to be the long overdue history of the English borough in the Middle Ages. Just over a hundred years ago Mr. Serjeant Mere- wether and Mr. Stephens had The History of the Boroughs Municipal Corporations of the United Kingdom, in three volumes, ready to celebrate the sweeping away of the medieval system by the Municipal Corporation Act of 1835. It was hardly to be expected, however, that this feat of bookmaking, good as it was for its time, would prove definitive. It may seem more surprising that the centenary of that great change finds the gap still unfilled. For half a century Merewether and Stephens' work, sharing, as it did, the current exaggera- tion of early "democracy" in England, stood in the way. Such revision as was attempted followed a false trail and it was not until, in the last decade or so of the century, the researches of Gross, Maitland, Mary Bateson and others threw a fiood of new light upon early urban development in this country, that a fair prospect of a more adequate history of the English borough came in sight. Unfortunately, these hopes were indefinitely deferred by the early death of nearly all the leaders in these investigations.

  • Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’S Cotton Frontier C.1890-1950
    Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’s Cotton Frontier c.1890-1950 By Jack Southern A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirements for the degree of a PhD, at the University of Central Lancashire April 2016 1 i University of Central Lancashire STUDENT DECLARATION FORM I declare that whilst being registered as a candidate of the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another aware of the University or other academic or professional institution. I declare that no material contained in this thesis has been used for any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work. Signature of Candidate ________________________________________________ Type of Award: Doctor of Philosophy School: Education and Social Sciences ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the evolution of identity and community within north east Lancashire during a period when the area gained regional and national prominence through its involvement in the cotton industry. It examines how the overarching shared culture of the area could evolve under altering economic conditions, and how expressions of identity fluctuated through the cotton industry’s peak and decline. In effect, it explores how local populations could shape and be shaped by the cotton industry. By focusing on a compact area with diverse settlements, this thesis contributes to the wider understanding of what it was to live in an area dominated by a single industry. The complex legacy that the cotton industry’s decline has had is explored through a range of settlement types, from large town to small village.

  • Emma Day Dissertation Final Draft
    SOKEMEN AND FREEMEN IN LATE ANGLO-SAXON EAST ANGLIA IN COMPARATIVE CONTEXT Emma Day Murray Edwards College, University of Cambridge 12th January 2011 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Summary of Dissertation Sokemen and Freemen in Late Anglo-Saxon East Anglia in Comparative Context Emma Day The dissertation is an investigation into sokemen and freemen, a group of higher status peasants, in tenth- and eleventh-century East Anglia (hereafter and throughout the dissertation referred to as less dependent tenants). The study considers four themes. The first concerns the socio-economic condition of less dependent tenants. Previous commentators have focused on, for example, light or non-existent labour services and a connection with royal service and public obligations, but the reality may have been more complex. The second theme considers the distribution of the group across East Anglia. The third and fourth themes consider, respectively, the reliability of the Domesday evidence for less dependent tenants and how far the eastern counties differed from the rest of England. It has been argued that the significant number of less dependent tenants recorded in the eastern counties in Domesday Book indicates that region’s unique social structure. This view increasingly has been questioned. The dissertation uses a partially retrogressive approach, combining pre-Conquest sources with Domesday Book and manorial sources from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. It argues that less dependent tenants formed a varied group, including both smallholders (probably constituting the greater part of the group) and prosperous landholders defined by high-status service. These individuals were not always clearly distinguished from those immediately above and below them in the hierarchy.

  • Domesday Book and Beyond: Three Essays in the Early History of England Frederic William Maitland
    Domesday Book and Beyond: Three Essays in the Early History of England Frederic William Maitland Essay One Domesday Book At midwinter in the year 1085 William the Conqueror wore his crown at Gloucester and there he had deep speech with his wise men. The outcome of that speech was the mission throughout all England of 'barons,' 'legates' or 'justices' charged with the duty of collecting from the verdicts of the shires, the hundreds and the vills a descriptio of his new realm. The outcome of that mission was the descriptio preserved for us in two manuscript volumes, which within a century after their making had already acquired the name of Domesday Book. The second of those volumes, sometimes known as Little Domesday, deals with but three counties, namely Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk, while the first volume comprehends the rest of England. Along with these we must place certain other documents that are closely connected with the grand inquest. We have in the so-called Inquisitio Comitatus Cantabrigiae, a copy, an imperfect copy, of the verdicts delivered by the Cambridgeshire jurors, and this, as we shall hereafter see, is a document of the highest value, even though in some details it is not always very trustworthy.(1*) We have in the so-called Inquisitio Eliensis an account of the estates of the Abbey of Ely in Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and other counties, an account which has as its ultimate source the verdicts of the juries and which contains some particulars which were omitted from Domesday Book.(2*) We have in the so-called Exon Domesday
