    EXCURSIONS 1985 Report and notes on somefindings 20 April. John Blatchly and Norman Scarfe Yoxford: the Garden of Suffolk Following A.G.M., held in St Peter's Church, Yoxford (originally Stikeland) by kind permission of Rev. Philip Owens, Norman Scarfe outlined likely dispositions of the seven Domesday manors around vill, pointing out how much R.T.L. Parr had revised and corrected Yoxford entry in Copinger's Manors of Suffolk. Norman Scarfe has since brought this together in essay on 'The Planting of "the Garden of Suffolk" in his new book, Suffolk in the Middle Ages. In St Peter's Church, John Blatchly gave dates for its building: major rebuild with proceeds of sale of Cockfield Hall, bequeathed by John and Maud Norwich c. 1430; S. aisle (will of William Drane, 1499); S.E. chapel, c.1550; N. aisle, 1837. Real and imaginary pedigrees of John Hopton and des,cendants displayed on wooden shields in S. aisle and chapel: of 22, only 15 remain. Dr Blatchly suggested Thomasine, John Hopton's 3rd wife (d. 1497), responsible for majority of them, and for shroud brasses to two daughters (d. 1471 and 1485). Anne Owen, 2nd wife of Sir Arthur Hopton, showed her descent in painted shields formerly on wainscot in then new Cockfield Chapel: Anne Echyngham showed hers on other shields around former 8ft high panelling round chancel, probably as memorial to sister Mary (d. 1572). Grove Park. After Dr Blatchly's brief tribute to D.E. Davy whose uncle built Grove Park, members walked across park to house.

  • Lost Features of an Ancient Landscape Robert Steerwood
    48 1 LOST FEATURES OF AN ANCIENT LANDSCAPE byROBERTSTEERWOOD THE MID-COASTAL AREA of east Suffolk, incorporating the Blything and Plomesgate Hundreds, is particularly rich in place-names of the early medieval period. The settlements of Aldringham, Knodishall and Friston are but a few of the recognised sites possessing Old English nomenclature. Many lesser known examples remain buried in texts, field names, maps and perambulations, as these gradually emerge they serve to offer a fuller understanding of the social and cultural significance of an ancient landscape. Polsborough Gate The name Tolsborough Gate' appears four times in "Cross Roads" itineraries recorded by john Kirby in 1735 (Suffolk Traveller, p 30, 35, 36).

AND DERBY 1908 {All Kifkts Rtterifed] DEDICATED TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE Sir William Brampton Gurdon K.C.M.G., M.P., L.L. PREFACE SUFFOLK has not yet found an historian. Gage published the only complete history of a Sufifolk Hundred; Suckling's useful volumes lack completeness. There are several manuscript collections towards a History of Suffolk—the labours of Davy, Jermyn, and others. Local historians find these compilations extremely useful ; and, therefore, owing to the mass of material which they contain, all other sources of information are neglected. The Records of Suffolk, by Dr. W. A. Copinger shews what remains to be done. The papers of this volume of the Memorial Series have been selected with the special purpose of bringing to public notice the many deeply interesting memorials of the past which exist throughout the county; and, further, they are published with the view of placing before the notice of local writers the results of original research. For over six hundred years Suffolk stood second only to Middlesex in importance ; it was populous, it abounded in industries and manufactures, and was the home of great statesmen.

  • The Reduced Population and Wealth of Early Fifteenth
    THE REDUCED POPULATION AND WEALTH OF EARLY FIFTEENTH-CENTURY SUFFOLK by DAVID DYMOND, M.A., F.S.A. and ROGER VIRGOE, PH.D., F.R.HIST.S. IN THE SESSION of Parliament which met between 27 January and 25 March 1428, the Council governing England during Henry VI's minority asked for subsidies to pay for the continuing war in France and for the safe-keeping of the sea. In response the Commons made three grants.' The first was of tunnage and poundage for a year; the second a grant of 6s. 8d. per knight' s fee, a traditional and by now obsolescent feudal aid; the third was a novel, if not quite unprecedented, tax levied on parishes and not, like the normal fifteenth and tenth, on townships.' The last of these grants is the most interesting. Payment had to be made by each rural parish which had ten households or more. If the living of the church was assessed for clerical taxes at less than ten marks, householders were to pay half a mark (6s. 8d.); if it was assessed at ten marks or more, they were to pay at the rate of one mark (13s. 4d.) for each ten marks' valuation. In boroughs the householders of each parish were to pay at the rate of 2s. for every £1 in the valuation of the living. Those parishes which contained fewer than ten households were exempt from payment. It is not the purpose of this paper to examine the reasons for this peculiar hybrid tax, which was not repeated.' For the local historian the most interesting information in the returns is the listing of exempt parishes with small populations.
