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

    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.
  • A Suffolk Farmer in the Fifteenth Century*

    A Suffolk Farmer in the Fifteenth Century*

    A Suffolk farmer in the fifteenth century* by Christopher Dyer Abstract This article explores the impact of farmers on rural society in the fifteenth century, when they represented a new tendency in agricultural production. The farmer of Chevington in Suffolk was a forceful and domi- nant figure, who established a close relationship with his lords, the abbots of Bury St Edmunds, and ruled in his village by buying land and promoting his family. This example shows the potential for change that farmers represented, and the shift in initiative from lord to tenants in the fifteenth century. Although the Parman family continued to be prosperous landholders in their village, their founder’s towering fortune and powers of manipulation were not perpetuated. Everyone knows that farmers played a vital part in English agrarian history. The word ‘farmer’ was originally used to describe a tenant paying a leasehold rent (a farm), often for holding a lord’s manorial demesne. The use of the word was eventually extended to mean any tenant or owner of a large holding, though when Gregory King estimated that that there were 150,000 farmers in the late seventeenth century he evidently defined them by their tenure, as freehold- ers were counted separately. Much is known about farmers in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and recent research has revealed their tendency to remain on their farms, the acre- age under their management, the number of their employees and their distribution over the country, with higher densities of large commercial farms in the south and east.1 Farmers in general are so well documented in the age of the agricultural revolution that it would be a luxury to devote space to a single individual, but this article explores the life and activities of a farmer of the first generation, when information is usually sparse.

    Suffolk Registration Districts and Poor Law Unions (1836)

    GENUKI: Suffolk Registration Districts 1836 Page 1 of 21 Contents Suffolk Suffolk Registration Districts and Poor Law Unions (1836) Registration districts of Suffolk in 1836, with maps and list of parishes, based on material compiled by Donovan J. Murrells. This archive may be freely reproduced, except for advertising, endorsement or sales purposes. Please acknowledge the source. Preface When working with the list of places contained in the index books on the shelves of the public search rooms at St. Catherine's House in London, I have long felt the need of continuity from pre-civil registration times. As I pursue a one name study the cost of pursuing the relevant certificates is prohibitive. How much more helpful it would have been if the compilers had known about the future generations of family historians and the use to which their efforts would be put. Perhaps they would have listed under sub-districts rather than the massive all-enveloping Superintendents Districts (RD's). But all my wishful thinking will not put the clock back and we have to work with the situation as it is. In 1946 I asked the Registrar General's Office if any maps or lists were available for study. The reply said that there were not but in any case they would have rapidly have become out of date. In an effort to overcome this difficulty I published a pocket size booklet setting out the registration districts and parish locations for Norfolk in March 1993. This complementary work covers the County of Suffolk also at a time when the area was first divided into Poor Law Unions and subsequently into registration districts, measures taken for the purpose of conducting the first name gathering census and for the civil registration of births, marriages and deaths.

  • Henry Chitting's Suffolk Collections D. N. J. Macculloch

    Henry Chitting's Suffolk Collections D. N. J. Macculloch

    HENRY CHITTING'S SUFFOLK COLLECTIONS editedand introducedbyD1ARMAID MACCULLOCH, M.A., PH.D., F.S.A. THE MANUSCRIPT PRINTED here forms part of a quarto volume in the library of Lord Walpole at Wolterton Hall in Norfolk consisting of the Collections for Norfolk and Suffolk made by Henry Chitting, Chester Herald. Unlike his near-contemporary, the anonymous author of the Chorographies of Norfolk and Suffolk, Chitting was not reticent about his identity; not only does his bold italic signature 'Hen: Chitting Chester' appear on the flyleaf of the volume, but the Victorian binding incorporates the white leather-covered boards of the original binding stamped with the initials H.C. and the Chitting arms (Corder, 1965, 431). The volume itself tells us something of its history. Like the Ipswich copy of Robert Ryece's contemporary Breviaryof Suffolk, it was in the collections of John Anstis, Garter King of Arms, during the early i8th century, and Anstis gave it a list of contents. A note on the flyleaf by the antiquary John Gage Rokewode runs 'This MS was purchased by me for 164.1.0 at the sale of the books of George Nassau Esq. in 1824'; Nassau had transcribed the Ordinary of Suffolk Arms in the volume, and this now forms Iveagh MS 55 (I am indebted to Dr John Blatchly for pointing this out). At Gage's death in 1842 his collections passed to his nephew Sir Thomas Rokewode Gage of Hengrave and the Chitting volume was presumably either sold at Sir Thomas's death in 1866 or at the death of Sir Edward Rokewode Gage, the 9th Baronet, in 1872.
