StaffordshireINTRODUCTION.

The earliest religious house at Trentham (then called Triccingham, or Trytenham1) was the .nunnery founded by Werburgh, daughter of Wulphere, King of Mercia, towards the close of the 7th century.3 Upon the same site, between 1087 and 1100 A.D., Hugh, Earl of Chester, built a priory,3 which had in turn fallen into decay, circd Stephen, to be restored, rather than entirely refounded, by the bequest of Earl Ranulph, second of the name.4 It was a small priory, and of little interest apart from its position in a royal Mercian demesne, and consequent bearing on the relations between the Earls Palatine and Staffordshire.5 St. Werburgh’s memory would cling to Trentham, the place where she lived and diedSample ; and when County her body rested finally at Chester in the church (the future cathedral), which one Mercian Earl dedicated, and another restored in her honour, and she became the patroness of that city, a new link would be forged, connecting Cheshire with the Mercian Earldom generally, and Chester with Trentham in particular. It was the policy6 of the Norman earls to renew that bond, their claims upon the priory opening a way to retainingStudies a claim upon the manor ; and equally the policy of the Crown to check every attempt to augment their overgrown power. Mr. Eyton

Mr. W . de Grey Birch (B.M.) in his “ Saxon Abbots " gives Triccengaham, Trykingham, or Try- ten gh am. 2 Bishop Tanner places her death c. 683 A.u. j Alban Butler about the end of 7th century, but speaks of her body being taken up and enclosed in a shrine in 708 a.d., nine years after its interment. This, supposing that her will was at once carried out, which is most probable, would make 699 A.D., the more accurate date. St. Werburgh is not to be confounded with the Queen of Ceolred. For further particulars see Alban Butler under Feb. 3. St. Werburgh is given as first Abbess by Mr. Birch. 3 Erdeswiek says “ I find a record that the Prior and Convent of Trentham held the same (lands here) in proper use, and that they entered on them ‘ tempore Begis Rufi per Hugonem veterem comitem cestrie in puram et perpetuam elemosi- nam.’ ” 4 Charter of Earl Ranulph 2nd. 5 Ethelred (and Elfreda), Leofrie (and Godiva). 6 Staffs.

held,1 that about 1070, Earl Hugh had been forced to surrender to the King whatever hold the conquest had given him in Stafford­ shire (that he had some was unquestionable), but, between 1087 and 1110 A.D., he obtained from William Eufus a grant of the royal manor of Trentharn, his next step being (as already noticed) to Staffordshirerebuild the religious house so closely connected with his patroness, St. Werburgh. From Hugh Lupus the manor j>assed to Earl Eichard, his sou; Eanulph de Meschines, the next Earl, handed on Trentham to Eanulph (2) de Gernons, “ whose ambition (to quote Mr. Eyton again) culminated in the llevizes Treaty, which guaranteed him, with few reservations, the whole of Staffs.” The death of Earl Eanulph.2 poisoned by the contrivance of William Peveril, put an end to the policy he had steadily pursued, but from his death-bed in Gresley Castle, the charter was addressed to Bishop Walter Durdent. restoring Trentham Priory, and endowing it with 100 solidates of land in Blurt on and Cocknage, portions of that manor. The death of Stephen and King Henry’s ascent of the throne the same year, were followed by a prompt resumption3Sample ofCounty the royal demesnes, including Trentham, but, in enforcing so unpopular a measure, the king would he careful to conciliate the church, and to confirm the last will of his former friend the Earl. He seems, even, to have enlarged the bequest,4 and taken Trentham under his own protection to bar, the more effectually, any future claims. Witness four royal charters in the following collection, one dated from Oxford within a month of his first coronation, two atStudies Northampton, and the last at Brehull (Brill). Had Mr. Eyton seen these charters he would have learnt how accurate is his suggestion that John was the first prior, and might have cited their authority in evidence, rather than Bishop Tanner’s. His notes on the Pipe Eolls (Vol. II, p. 48, S. H. Coll.) point out that “ we have accounts, more or less accurate, from 1154 to 1195 A.n., showing in each case the Fermor, charging against his ferm of 30 li. from Trentham Manor, a payment immediately following of 100.s. to John, chaplain to the Earl of Chester, until, in 1195, the entry runs thus, ‘ et canonicis de Trentham 100s.
