  • The Justices of the Peace and the Administration of Local
    THE JUSTICES OF THE PEACE AND THE ADMINISTRATION OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN THE EAST AND WEST RIDINGS OF YORKSHIRE BETWEEN 1680 AND 1750. Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The School of History, Michael Eric Watts Maddison. The University of Leeds. April 1986. ABSTRACT. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the criminal, civil and administrative work of the county magistrates of the East and West Ridings of Yorkshire between 1680 and 1750. There is a distinct lack of regional studies for this period, though much has been written about the county community during the era of the English Revolution of the mid seventeenth century and about the effect upon local society of the industrialisation of the late eighteenth century. This is a serious omission for late Stuart and early Georgian times comprise a vital period in the development of local government. It was a time when the country gentlemen who acted as Justices of the Peace were most autonomous. Yet it was also a period which witnessed some fundamental and permanent changes in the organisation and administration of local government. The thesis is divided into two. The first section contains four chapters and deals with the structure of local government. The general organisation at county level is explained, and the backgrounds, interests and attitudes of the actual individuals who served as magistrates are closely examined. An analysis is also undertaken of the relationship between the Justices and central government, and special emphasis is placed on the attitudes of the Crown and Privy Council towards the membership of the commission of the peace and on the role of the Lords Lieutenant and the Assize Judges.

  • The West Riding in the Late Seventeenth Century by David Hey
    Introduction: The West Riding in the Late Seventeenth Century by David Hey Not only was Yorkshire by far the largest of the ancient counties of England, at 1,709,307 acres, but the West Riding alone exceeded in size every other county except Lincolnshire. The word riding is derived from the late Old English ‘thrithing’ or ‘thriding’, itself adapted from an Old Norse loan word, meaning a third part. Wapentake, similarly derived, was the equivalent of the Anglo-Saxon hundred, and came from the symbolic flourishing of weapons to signify agreement when decisions were made in open-air assemblies at convenient sites, such as a river crossing or by a stone cross.1 The wapentakes continued to see to the levying of taxes, the raising of the militia and the maintenance of law and order and did not finally disappear until the reorganisation of local government in 1974. The West Riding was divided into eleven wapentakes: Ainsty, Agbrigg, Barkston Ash, Claro, Ewcross, Morley, Osgoldcross, Skyrack, Staincliffe, Staincross and Strafforth. The Ainsty, bounded by the rivers Ure, Ouse and Wharfe, had been annexed by Henry VI (d. 1471), king of England, to the city of York, as the county of the city, which was independent of all three ridings, but it was still considered to be a West Riding wapentake. The wapentakes were divided into townships, the vills of medieval documents. In the eastern parts of the West Riding many townships were coterminous with the ecclesiastical parishes and were referred to as parishes in the hearth tax returns, but the large moorland parishes in the west contained numerous townships.

  • History-Of-Headingley-RT2.Pdf
    Headingley Development Trust Promoting Headingley A Headline History of Headingley Headingley Village The beginnings of Headingley village are lost in the mists of time. But its situation in a prime location suggests that it might be very ancient. The village is located on the higher, drier ridge between what would have been the less hospitable valleys of the River Aire to the west and Meanwood Beck to the east. And it is in a saddle on the ridge, providing ready access between the valleys. [An off-set cross-roads is still central to Headingley.] The Anglo-Saxon Era During the sixth century, the Angles arrived, settling in the north, giving England its name – and also naming the village. Among their number were Headda and his family, who founded, or perhaps occupied, the settlement on the hill, which became known as ‘Headda’s people’s place’ – or ‘Head-ing-ley’. Under Headda’s descendants, the village evidently flourished. [One field remains, on Headingley Hill, now used for grazing.] The Viking Era The Vikings colonised the north in the ninth century, and Jorvik Scir (York Shire) became one of the fourteen shires of the Danelaw. The Shire was divided into Ridings (thirdings), each in turn comprising wapentakes (where votes were taken by a show of weapons). The West Riding included Skyrack Wapentake, extending from the Wharfe to the Aire, and named after the Scir Ac (or Shire Oak) meeting place on the edge of Headingley village green. So, a millennium ago, Headingley was the number one settlement in Skyrack Wapentake. [The oak stood for another thousand years, finally collapsing in 1941.] The Norman Era The north did not take kindly to William of Normandy’s conquest in 1066, and rebellion broke out.

  • And 14Th-Century West Yorkshire Wenyeva Atte Grene
    Locative and toponymic bynames in 13th- and 14th-century West Yorkshire Wenyeva atte grene Wendi Dunlap [email protected] Introduction The Wakeeld Court Rolls are records of manorial court proceedings from the Wakeeld Manor in the West Riding of Yorkshire. The earliest Roll extant is from 1274, and the records continue, with some breaks, until the 1920s. As records of the activity on the Manor, the Rolls contain many names of Wakeeld-area residents. The most common names in thirteenth century records are locative and toponymic, and though relationship names become more common in fourteenth century Rolls, locative and toponymic names continue to be seen in high numbers during this period. These names provide us with many period place name spellings, some of which are not found in other references commonly used in SCA onomastic research. The following names have been drawn from my unpublished research into the Rolls in 127475 and 135052. This content is much abbreviated for the purpose of this article; for reasons of space, I am only occasionally including etymologies of the place names included in these bynames. I am working from 20th century reprints of the Rolls. The Rolls of 1274 75 were published in both English and Latin in 1901, and I double-checked the Latin record as needed. Given names here were generally normalized from the Latin forms by the modern translator, with some exceptions, so most of these entries are not useful for determining period given name spellings. The surnames are not normalized unless noted, and are given in Latin if that was the form used.
