The Lands of the Scottish Kings in England
THE LANDS OF THE SCOTTISH KINGS IN ENGLAND THE HONOUR OF HUNTINGDON THE LIBERTY OF TYNDALE AND THE HONOUR OF PENRITH BY MARGARET F. MOORE, M.A. (EDINBURGH) (CARNLGIKFELLOW IN PALEOGRAPHY AND EARLY ECONOMIC RIITORY) INTRODUCTION BY P. HUME BROWN, M.A., LL.D., Fraser Profcsaor of Ancient (Scottish) History and Palieography in the University of Edinburgh, and Historiographer- Royal for Scotland LONDON : GEORGE ALLEN & UNWIN LTD- RUSKIN HOUSE, MUSEUM STREET, W.C* CONTENTS PREFACE - - - - - --- - - vii CHAPTERI PAGE THE HISTORY OF THE HONOURS AND LIBERTY - - I CHAPTERI1 THE MEDIRVAL ASPECT OF THE LANDS - - - - 13 CHAPTERI11 THE FEUDAL HISTORY OF THE HOLDINGS - - - 29 CHAPTERIV THE MANORIAL FRANCHISES - - - - - - 48 CHAPTERV THE MANORIAL ECONOMY - ----- 67 CHAPTER VI LOCAL CHURCH HISTORY -..-- - 94 CHAPTERVII STATE OF SOCIETY ---- - 109 MANORIAL ECONOMY OF THE MANOR OF MARKET OVERTON IN THE FOURTEENTH CENTURY --- - 130 PREFACE THIs was completed during the tenure of a Carnegie Research Fellowship and has been published by aid of a grant from the Carnegie Trust. The subject of research, connected as it is with Scottish history, is one which appeals naturally to a Scottish student of English manorial history; for although it is well known that the Scottish kings held certain lands in England during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries little attention has been given to the details of these holdings. The personal association of David I and his heirs and of the ill-fated John Balliol with the Honour of Huntingdon, the Liberty of Tyndale and the Honour of Penrith is usually regarded as an incident of feudal tenure, and the sojourn of the Scottish kings on English soil has left no records other than the allowances and establish- ments of the royal household.

One of Rutland's Secrets Is the Serene Vale of Catmose. but What Exactly
One of Rutland’s secrets is the serene Vale of Catmose. But what exactly is it? We know about Catmose College, Catmos Street and the HQ of Rutland County Council at Catmose but where is this mysterious Vale? In fact it lies at the everyday heart of Rutland with Oakham marking its course. Ex- tending from the River Gwash below Manton it runs northwards beyond Oakham to the Rutland border at Teigh. Mostly it is the valley of the River Eye which starts near Cold Overton on the high ground and wends its way through Langham to Stapleford and Melton Mowbray. On either side of the valley is high land. The clay uplands to the west provide excellent views over the whole County whilst to the east the sharp Burley – Cottesmore ridge overlooks the entire Vale giving fine views of it which changes all the time. The villages of the Vale tend to be through routes rather than pondering, philosophical places – Barleythorpe, Langham, Whissendine, Teigh and Ashwell. To some extent the creation if Rutland Water has truncated the Vale in the south. Once it joined the Gwash Valley as it broadened between the limestone upland to the north and the ridge and valleys to the south. How far the Vale may have been considered to extend in this direction we may never know. Long before the days of Rutland Water there was a plan to link the Oakham-Melton Canal with a Stamford Canal which would have opened up the whole Vale to outside connections. Bit this came to nothing and, indeed, the Oakham-Melton canal itself foundered before the middle of the 19th century so that it was the railway which made the complete link.

Why Rutland Is One of the Best Places to Live in 2021
times logo Log in Subscribe MENU saturday march 27 2021 MIDLANDS Why Rutland is one of the best places to live in 2021 From Oakham to Uppingham, the towns and villages here are well-schooled in the finer things of life Best Places to Live in the Midlands: Rutland Water has been a haven for anyone seeking solace ALAMY The Sunday Times Friday March 26 2021, 12.00am, The Sunday Times Share ngland’s smallest county may have lost the battle to remain a McFlurry-free zone when a drive-in branch of McDonald’s opened on the Oakham bypass last November, but it has won E the war when it comes to ploughing its own delightful furrow. All rolling green fields and pretty villages, it’s every bit as charming as the Cotswolds, but a good deal less smug about it (and far cheaper, too): in short, the perfect option for country-style family living, within reach of London and the cities of the Midlands. The twin market towns of Oakham and Uppingham remain the friendly, defiantly independent hubs they’ve always been. They are happy reminders of the days when “small town” wasn’t an insult and the butcher and baker knew your name and exactly what you’d like. It may be traditional, but it’s not backward-looking, just discerning. The pace of life is slow, but the quality of everything is high, from the pork pies at Leeson Family Butchers (£9.99 for a proper whopper) and the designer clothes at Cavells (brands include Dubarry and Veja) in Oakham, to the art on display at Goldmark Gallery in Uppingham.
