throwing som e light on that early period of our history , m I have exa ined and catalogued , in the following pages , such

” ’ “ ” ’ “ W l h f heffi eld shire , Addy s a t eo , Leader s S in the Eighteenth

” ’ t s heffield Century , and G at y S Past and Present but not one of these local histories tells us m uch of the pe0 p1e Who lived in — — S he ffield other than the occupants of the Castle from the tim e m of Edward I to Elizabeth . I n the Report ade to the Charity mm mm 11th Co issioners , printed by order of the House of Co ons ,

1 h ffi e ld 1 9 February , 897, following an I nquiry held at S e , June , 8 5, into Endowm ents subj ect to the provisions of the Charitable Trusts “ 1 Acts , it is stated , at page 03 , that The Church Burgesses have “ m 1 4 also in their possession so e 80 deeds of dates prior to 55 ,

in addition to m any others of a m ore recent date . They have

m m m Mr been arranged at so e for er period by so e hand , probably . ’ f m ’ H unter s , and extracts rom a few of the appear in that antiquary s ‘ k m ’ 1 4 wor on H alla shire . The majority of those prior to 55 14 1 h belong to the th and 5t centuries , the earliest being dated

13 04. m m in Ti e has not allowed of a prolonged inspection of the , but with a few exceptions they appear to consist of grants of

land and houses , without trusts , in som e cases to private individuals , ‘ h ’ in others to a person described as Chaplain of S effi eld , and

i S heffield in others to the chapla n of and three or four others ,

ho W were probably the Churchwardens .

N o doubt Mr . H unter looked through these early charters of the Twelve Capital Burgesses ; but at that tim e he was writing “ ff ” m ” the chapter on Ecclesiastical A airs , for Halla shire ; and his obj ect in exam ining these charters was rather to supplement

heffi ld m m the ecclesiastical history of S e , than to extract fro the general information for the use of the topographer and genealogist . After obtaining the information he req uired for the particular purpose that he then had in view , he doubtless put the charters m m aside for other sources of infor ation , relating ore particularly to ecclesiastical matters . A schedule of these early charters was

1766 Mr . m prepared in by the late Ja es Wheat , law clerk to the Twelve Capital Burgesses ; which gives a short abstract of each charter , including several not now apparently in the possession of m the B urgesses . How these charters were lost or isplaced , it is m i possible to say ; it is , however , probable that the schedule was prepared from the originals , and not from copies ; as in the latter case the fact would have been stated in the schedule ; but it seem s

r . m m doubtful if M H unter saw these issing charters , for in Halla

" “ u d 44 shire , 2 edition , page 2 , he says , To prove this point as well as to bring the reader acquainted with certain altars and services

S heffield m which were in the parish church of before the Refor ation , a few notices of evidences in possession of the Church Burgesses and m m extracts fro the , are here inserted . The use of the word “ extracts ” suggests that in som e cases he did not see the original mm m m charters , and his co ents in H alla shire on the two issing m charters to which he refers , do not give ore or better particulars of their contents , than are given in the schedule , as reproduced in m m italic type in this catalogue . I think we ay therefore assu e that the charters were lost or m isplaced subsequently to 1766 and prior ’ m 1 . to Mr . H unter s exa ination early in the 9th century Perhaps they m ay yet be found am ong the papers of the Burgesses or in m m so e public or private collection of MS S . and full infor ation as to their contents obtained .

Through the kindness of the Twelve Capital B urgesses , I have been given every facility for exam ining and c ataJ oguing all the early S heffi eld charters now in their possession ; and in order to m m throw ore light on the people to who they relate , I have m catalog ued with the , all wills of S heffi eld testators , proved at

1554 few m York prior to , and a other docu ents relating to the same period .

I n cataloguing each document (other than subsidy rolls) after giving the date , I have stated the purport of the docu m ent , using modern English , unless otherwise indicated by quota tion marks ; and the translations follow the originals , as closely as “ ” legibility perm its ; but under the headings N am es of Persons ,

“ " “ “ - - Witnesses , Place names , and Field names , the original spelling is used , with , when necessary , the English equivalent , or modern name . The bracketed numbers in the margin refer to the m nu bers attached to the charters of the Burgesses , as now arranged in their muniment room at the Parish Church .

My thanks are due to the Twelve Capital Burgesses for granting m e permission to prepare this catalogue ; and to their

Mr . law clerk , J ohn B ristow Wheat , for the facilities he has given m e m m m for exa ining, at y leisure , this ost interesting collection of local land charters .

am m m m Mr . I uch indebted to y kins an , H ubert Hall , F m for any valuable suggestions ; also to my sister , and m y articled

Mr . Mr . H m clerks , Cyril Wells and . Percy Phillips , for uch assistance .

Church , on condition that his wife Agnes should have a life

Hanc ok Claumfo r d interest , and his two children Richard of bridge Line s and Agnes Hanc ok of Rotherham should take successive estates tail ; possibly these children were of consider able age and childless ; but whether that was so or not the estates tail failed , as the Burgesses appear to have got the

154 1 Th e Ac t fo r Ch a n t r i ( 7) I n the st year of Edward V I . es ” C ll a i t 1 c . m o eg e , Edward V I xiv , stated by way of prea ble ,

that a great part of the superstition and errors , in Christian m m religion , had been brought into the inds and esti ations of m en , by reason of the ignorance of their very true and perfect

E S salvation , through the death of J U S C H RIST ; and by devising

and phantasying vain opinions of pur gatr y and m asses satisfac m tory , to be done for the which be departed ; the which doctrine m m and vain opinion , by nothing ore was aintained and upholden than by the abuse of trentals , chantries and other provisions made for the continuance of the said blindness and ignorance ; m m m and that the alteration , change and a end ent of the sa e , and converting to good and godly uses , as in erecting of Gram mar

u Schools to the ed cation of youth in vertue and godliness, the augm enting of the Universities , and better provision for the m poor and needy , could not in that parlia ent be provided and

conveniently done , except by the King ; who , with the advice of

m u m his ost prudent Council , could and wo ld ost wisely and benefi c iall y , both for the honour of GOD and the weal of his ’ m m Maj esty s real , order , alter , convert and dispose of the sa e ; m and enacted , that all anner of colleges , free chapels and

hy e chantries , having being or in esse within years next before

he fir st m m t day of the then present Parlia ent, and all anors , m d m m lands , tene ents , rents and other here ita ents , by any anner of assurance , conveyance , will , devise or otherwise , made , ' fin din declared , given , lim ited or appointed to the g of any priest to have continuance for ever ; and wherewith or whereby any 85

m t fi priest was sustained , ain ained or found , within ve years next before the fir st day of the then present Parliam ent ; and also all

r ofits m m m fiv annual rents , p and e olu ents at any ti e within e years , m m e ployed , paid or bestowed , toward or for the aintenance , sup

r tio n h po ta or uding of any stipendiary priest , intended by any act

or writing to have continuance for ever , should by the authority of m mm the then Parlia ent , i ediately after the Feast of Easter then

m m be next co ing , be adjudged and dee ed , and also , in the very actual and real possession and seizin of the King and his heirs and

o ffic e successors for ever, without any or other inquisition thereof to be had or found ; and in as large and ample m anner m m m and for as the priests , wardens , asters , inisters , governors , m m rulers or other incu bents of the or any of them , at any tim e within five years had occupied or enjoyed or then occupied or enjoyed the sam e and as though all and singular the said

colleges , free chapels , chantries, stipends , salaries of priests and

m m m &c . the said anors, lands , tene ents , heredita ents , , were in m m m that Act specially na ed . I t also enacted , that Co issioners

be &c . should appointed to ascertain what lands , , the King was m entitled to under the provisions of the Act, and such Co m issioners were to assign yearly pensions to every governor , f priest , ellow and servant of every chantry dissolved under t s mm that Act . No e After the passing of this Act , Co issioners appointed under it visited S heffield and finding that three priests were being maintained out of the rents of portions of the public

c er tified lands , decided that they were chantry priests , and the

lands for c o nfi sc ation to the Crown . These lands , which were m only part of the Town lands , re ained in the possession of the m Crown during the reign of Edward V I , but when Mary ca e to ffi l the throne , the inhabitants of S he e d successfully petitioned for ”

. 104 their restoration See Petition , page , and Royal Letters t Patent , page 106 . I t appears , that in order to preven any attem pt to conceal from the Com m issioners any information as to

m of &c . the lands or inco e charitable guilds , chantries , , and to secure to the Crown property to which it becam e entitled under m m this Act , public infor ers were encouraged to co e before the Court of Augmentations and give evidence by a form al Inform a m m tion , disclosing such conceal ent ; and if the I nfor ation proved correct , and lands , rents or other property thereby accrued to m the Crown , the I nfor er was to be rewarded , by receiving a

- twenty one years Lease of such lands , rents or property . This

m ma does not for part of the Act , but it y have been a bribe , 86

ff m m s o ered by the Court , so e ti e after the pas ing of the m Act , when it had reason to think that infor ation was being withheld and lands concealed .

l ( 1552 P) N o date given , but the Answer would be fi ed soon

n w r o br t S wi ft after the I nform ation was presented . A s e of R e esquire and Wi lli and 10 1

ffi other the inhabitants of She eld , to the Inform ation of H enry

m u Bayley , in which they alleged , that the I nfor ation was ntrue , fi uncertain and in suf c i ent in law, that the sam e was grounded on m hi fl alice , to put the said inhabitants to expense , and c e y with m intent to get , either by lease or otherwise , the said essuage called the George in the Old Exchange , London . The Answer recites the deed , by which Felice H inde enfeoffed Jeffrey Buttery ,

m Ta lour m Challo ner Robert Parker , Willia y and Tho as , of the

Old Change London ; reserving to herself a life interest, and

' giving the feo fi e es a trust for sale after her death ; and that the said William Tailour (one of the two defendants above nam ed) was the cousin and heir - at - law of the said William Taylo ur then

f . deceased , the survivor of the said four feof ees And further , that m till the date of the said I nfor ation of H enry Bayley , the rents and pr ofits of the said lands and tenem ents were em ployed by the Church Graves in repairs of the said Church , of the bridges

c hi efl and highways , and y in relief of the indigent and needy , within the town and parish of S heffield ; without em ploying the said prem ises in fi nding and m aintaining of any priest or keeping m any obit ; but it is ad itted that three priests , called Roode

Priest , Our Lady Priest and Saint Katherine Priest , had been of m m long ti e kept and aintained , partly out of such collections and gatherings as were collected and gathered every Sunday and m holiday , a ongst the said inhabitants and others that did repair unto the said Church ; but c hi efly out of such pr ofits as did m ove and gr owe by reason of certain May Gam es and other Vain

Plays and I nterludes , as were used within the said parish , by

m 0 1 m reason whereof a great nu ber of pe p e , at divers ti es in the year , resorted unto the said town , to view and see the said G m m m m m a es , of who uch oney was collected , and the sa e was always em ployed in finding and m aintaining the said three m priests , until about fourteen years before the said I nfor ation , when the said inhabitants and others , resorting to the said Church on Sundays and other holidays , withdrew their liberality and

u devotion as to any such p rposes , and would give very little m oney , or none , for the maintenance of the said priests ; and

m m al about that ti e also , such May Ga es and other like fantastic m pasti es did cease , for divers good considerations , as things not to be frequented am ongst civil pe0 p1e ; by reason whereof the

i i sa d priests , for want of wages and living , were l ke to have been discharged out of the said town ; whereupon the said

inhabitan ts rem em ber i ng that the said town was large and great h m (having within it twelve or fourteen a lets , and all greatly 102

al inhabited , especi ly with poor folks , which occasioned plagues m and diste pers) , and that if the said three priests shoul d have been so discharged , the vicar of the said parish could not have been able to have m inistered unto the said inhabitants in tim es m of sickness , nor at any other ti es the Sacram ents and Sacra m entals ; upon which considerations it was thought convenient m by any of the said inhabitants , that part of the issues of the said prem ises in S heffie ld should (as it m ight be conveniently spared after other m ore necessary charges done) , be given to the said three priests , towards their relief and living , to the intent m m that they ight be assistants to the said vicar , in the inis tr atio n of Divine Service and other Sacram ents ; but as it was not certain what the yearly charges of the repairs of the said m m Church , and the a end ent of the highways and bridges would be m a , nor how uch was necess ry to be detained for the relief of the poor ; it was not specially declared by the inhabitants what the said three priests should have ; so that their yearly stipend m m was m ost com only easured , having respect to such necessary charges as happened that year . I n so m uch that they had som e m years m ore , so e less , and as it chanced that the other charges were very small ; the said inhabitants did (a fe w years next before the m aking the said statute) give to the said three priests

i . m £16 10 e . , to two of the severally £5 6 8 . each , and to the third (because he did m ore service in the Church than

1 m i . the other two did) 05 ore than his fellows , s . , 5 16 8 .

The Answer further adm its the Grant by William H ynde , and the Declaration of Trust for paym ent of seven shillings a year to the Saint Katherine priest , and for an obit nine shillings ; and to the church wardens for their pains thirteen pence ; which said seven shillings had been paid to the said priest as parcel of his wages . And that the King m ight not be deceived , neither the seven shillings given to the said priest , nor m m the said nine shillings e ployed upon an obit , nor as uch as the said priests had of the benevolence of the said inhabitants ,

s m S heffi eld m out of the aid pre ises in , when they had ost , at any m tim e within five years before the aking of the said statute , the said inhabitants did truly present before the said Comm issioners , appointed for the survey of chantries , &c . , all the said rents as aforesaid . And accordingly the inhabitants had truly answered yearly , and paid to the use of the King , all the said rents given

m o bit to the said priests as aforesaid , and e ployed upon an t ; which in all amount to 27. 9. 4. Without (adm itting that

the said parish of S heffield ; and to the reparation of the Church m there , and to the relief of the ost needy and indigent persons ,

inhabiting within the said parish and that the issues and pr o fits

thereof had been so applied by the Church greaves , until about

fourteen years before the date of that Petition , when the said 105 inhabitants were forced (there being many poor persons and m m m uch disease) , to i part so e portion of the revenues yearly , for the fi ndin g of three priests to assist the Vicar in visiting o f m v the sick , and in ad inistering divine ser ice and other sacra m m m ents in the Church . I n which for the sa e continued , until the m aking of the statute for the dissolution of colleges and mm chantries , when the Co issioners thereby appointed , perceiving 1 that in som e one year before the said statute , 7 of the said

s 4d rents , besides 9 for an obit , had been given and bestowed m am ongst the said three priests , did co pel the said inhabitants to certify before the said Com m issioners the said yearly rent of m 17. 9. and accordingly the sa e had ever since been paid

’ to the receivers of the Queen s Revenues . That nevertheless m H enry Bayley of London , skinner , of his ost covetous and m ungodly ind , seeking only his own private gain and lucre , had ’ m m exhibited , in the Queen s Court of Aug entations , a sur ised

I nform ation concerning the said lands , whereby he had con tinually vexed and disquieted the said inhabitants for two whole years then last past ; and for as m uch as the said lands were not given for the finding of any priest or priests to have continuance for ever , but were found by the parishioners of the said parish , by reason whereof the said Petitioners did think that the sam e were not within the com pass of the said statute , so that the m Queen was not j ustly entitled to such rent , as was e ployed in the finding the sam e priest and as the Vicar of the Church was m not able (withou t assistance) to serve the cure , and to inister the Sacram ents and other Divine Services within the said parish , for the reasons above alleged ; and also for that the Queen had

fi benefi t m no pro t or by the said rent , by reason the sa e was paid forth again by the hands of her receiver unto the said three at priests for their yearly pensions , who then went abroad their m liberty ; the Church being unserved , to the great disco fort of

' the said inhabitants , by reason of the great decay of such Godly

service , as theretofore had been used within the said Church . Therefore the Petitioners prayed the Queen in advancem ent
