  • The Feudal Land Divisions of Denny and Dunipace Part 1
    Calatria Summer 1995 No. 8 The Feudal Land Divisions of Denny and Dunipace Part 1 John Reid From the earliest records for Denny and Dunipace, we find that the area had three distinct divisions: Herbertshire, Temple-Denny and Torwood. Herbertshire comprised a significantly greater area than the other two and, in the later feudal period, came to be further divided with the creation of lesser estates such as Dunipace-Livingston and Little Denovan. Each of the major divisions is discussed here. As we should expect, these in turn had numerous subdivisions and they will be the subject of part 2. The Parishes of Denny and Dunipace CONTENTS (click links to read) The Ancient Barony of Dunipace or Herbertshire The Barony of Denny or Temple Denny The Barony of Torwood Falkirk Local History Society Page 1 Calatria Summer 1995 No. 8 THE ANCIENT BARONY OF DUNIPACE OR HERBERTSHIRE The Barony of Herbertshire The records of the area which we know today as the parishes of Denny and Dunipace reach no further back than the twelfth century. Then, probably all of the parish of Denny and certainly the greater part of the parish of Dunipace comprised a tract of land which in the earliest documents is named “the lands of Dunipace” and, some time later, “the barony of Dunipace” but which by the middle of the fourteenth century came to be known as the “barony of Herbertshire”. Much later, as we shall see, a significant part which lay in the parish of Denny took the name of South Herbertshire. The remainder of the parish of Denny came into the hands of one of the orders of mediaeval knights at some time prior to the fourteenth century and was known as the Barony of Denny or Temple-Denny.1 Lying in the north-west of Falkirk District, Herbertshire was the second-largest of the baronies in East Stirlingshire.
