  • C.650 Illanleah. by the Time of the Earliest Written Record of Monks
    Monks Eleigh Timeline c.650 Illanleah. By the time of the earliest written record of Monks Eleigh in the mid-10th century, the manor and farming settlement here was already well established as an economically viable and valuable estate, and will therefore have been in existence for some centuries. It may be supposed that Illanleah (its original name), ‘the woodland clearing belonging to a man called Illa’, from the Old English word leah and an Old English personal name (the -n- is a genitive or possessive grammatical ending, equivalent to an apostrophe ‘s), came to be the name of the settlement here early in the Anglo-Saxon period, probably as early as the first half of the 7th century (perhaps around the time of the famous ship burial of East Anglian King Rædwald at Sutton Hoo). There would probably already have been a working farmstead settlement here during the Romano- British period, but with the coming of the Anglo-Saxons to Britain, estates continued in being but often took their names from their new Anglo-Saxon owners. We know nothing more about this man Illa, but we may suppose that he was either an Anglo-Saxon thegn (a minor nobleman) or a ceorl (a freeman or peasant farmer). At any rate, his estate was a very large one, to begin with comprising what later became the two estates of Monks Eleigh and Brent Eleigh before they were divided at some time before the mid-10th century. 946-c.951 The earliest reference to Monks Eleigh in the written records. In the Will of the powerful man called Ælfgar, who was Ealdormann (‘underking’) of the East Saxons (Essex) during the reign of King Eadræd of the West Saxons (Wessex), his many estates are bequeathed to his various heirs, and one of these estates is Illeye (Monks Eleigh): ‘And I grant the estate at Illeye to my younger daughter [Ælfflæd] for her life, and after her death to Byrhtnoth [her husband] for his life if he lives longer than her.

  • 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.
