MARY OF TORRINGTON, temp. HENRY II. Communicated by the Rev. E. VENABLES, Precentor of Lincoln. THE following document is especially interesting from its connection with the founder of the Gilbertine Priory of St. Catherine's, Lincoln, as well as with Gilbert of Sempringham himself, the founder of that order, and from the circumstance of its proving the existence of a religious foundation in Lincolnshire which was unknown either to Dugdale or Tanner. It came into my possession through the kindness of a gentleman, who bought it, with a large number of other documents, at an auction, somewhere in Herefordshire. Seeing its intimate connection with Lincoln, he was good enough to forward it to me, and it will for the future have a place among the muniments of the Chapter. It is a grant of an oxgang of land together with a dwelling and the right of pasturage in the parish of Caburn, made by Hugh of Bayeux to the Church and Canons of St. Mary of Torrington. Caburn is a small village of Lincolnshire, situated in one of the Wold valleys, about a mile and a half north-east of Caistor. Torrington is another Lincolnshire village, or rather a union of two villages, East and West Torrington, three miles north-east of the small town of Wragby. Although this document is the first proof of the existence of a religious foundation at Torrington, local tradition points to a moated area near the Grange as the site of a religious house, and I have been informed by the incumbent, Rev. T. W. Mossman, that he believes it to have been a Gilbertine foundation. This is strengthened by the appearance of the name of Gilbert of Sempriugham, the founder of the order, as one of the witnesses. The grantor, Hugh of Bayeux, was the eldest son of Ranulph of Bay- eux, by his wife Ma.rgaret, daughter of Alan of Lincoln, who was, accord- Downloaded by [Northwestern University] at 19:53 15 January 2015 ing to Dugdale, " an eminent baron in those parts.'' The Bayeux family had large possessions in the northern part of Lincolnshire. Among the lordships was that of Goxhill, in which five knights' fees were held of Ranulph of Bayeux by Peter of Goxhill, the founder of the first house of the Premonstratensian order in England, situated at Newhouse in the parish of Goxhill. Ranulph, the father, gave an oxgang of laud to this house, in the same parish of Caburn in which the land lay named in the present document, bestowed by the son on Torrington. Hugh of Bayeux was also a benefactor to Sempringham, bestowing on the nuns there lands within that parish and in Billingborough.1 1 Dugdale's " Baronage," i. 573. VOL, XXXIII. Β Β 184 ORIGINAL· DOCUMENTS. The grant is witnessed by persons of no ordinary rank and importance. The first is the fourth Bishop of Lincoln, Robert de Querceto, or de Chesney, the founder of St. Catherine's Gilbertine Priory, at Lincoln. He was consecrated Dec. 19, 1148, and died Jan. 26, 1167. He is fol- lowed by no less a personage than Master Gilbert of Sempringham, the founder of the Gilbertine order, to which, as we have said, the Canons of Torrington may have belonged. Gilbert, not yet Saint Gilbert, died in 1189. His canonization took place in 1202. Of Master Malger, who succeeds, I can say nothing. He was probably a priest, perhaps a canon of the cathedral, and doubtless worthy of the good company in which we find him. The three names that follow are those of some of the first laymen in Lincolnshire. Walter Deincourt, who stands at their head, was the grandson of Walter Deincourt, one of the Norman knights who accom- panied William the Conqueror on the invasion of England, whose dis- tinguished services were rewarded by his grateful sovereign with 36 lordships. Of these seventeen were in Lincolnshire, of which Blankney, near Lincoln (now the seat of the Chaplins) was the chief, being " the head of his barony." The Deincourts were kinsfolks both of the Con- queror and of Remigius of Fecamp, the first bishop of Lincoln, who trans- lated the see thither from Dorchester. This we learn from the remark- able leaden monumental tablet of Walter's son William, who dying w:hile still a youth receiving his education at the court of William Rufus, was buried near the north door of the Cathedral which his kinsman Remigius had erected, and was commemorated by an inscription discovered in 1670, and still preserved in the Cathedral Library. The plate is engraved in " Dugdale's Baronage,"2 as well as more correctly in our own Lincoln volume.3 As it is there stated that William, the son, not Walter, the father, was regia stirpe progenitus, it is probable that the royal kinship was through Walter's wife, who it is suggested in the memoir in the Lincoln volume, may have been a daughter, perhaps illegitimate, of the Conqueror himself. It is possible, however, that the lady in question may have been a member of the Anglo-Saxon royal family. If so the relation- ship to the Conqueror vanishes. The Walter who witnesses the grant before us, was the son of Ralph the eldest son of Walter, the Conqueror's favourite, by Basilia his wife, and consequently nephew to William, of whose epitaph I have been speaking. Richard de Haia, who succeeds, was the son of Robert de Haia, or de la Haye, who obtained from Henry I. the honour of Halnaker, near Good- wood in Sussex, and was a great benefactor to the Abbey of Essaix in Normandy. Richard, together with his brother Robert, founded the Downloaded by [Northwestern University] at 19:53 15 January 2015 Premonstratensian Abbey of Barlings, 6 miles to the north-east of Lincoln, and was the cause of a cell of the same order being erected at Camer- ingham by the gift of his lordship in that parish to the monastery of Blanchelande in Normandy. Richard de la Haye was the father of Nichola, who married Gerard de Camville, a lady who played a dis- tinguished part in the events which signalised the reigns of Richard I. and John. A woman, with the courage and resolution of a man, she was a stout adherent of Lackland through all his varied fortunes, and was rewarded by being appointed to the shrievalty of her county, and, 2 Vol. i. p. 386. 3 Proceedings of Archaeological Institute, Lincoln, 1848, p. 248. 185 ORIGINAL·DOCUMENTS . after the death of her husband, with the .governorship of the castle of Lincoln, which had been bestowed by King John on de Camville, Fulk de Breaute—we could have wished the good lady a better deputy than this ruffianly brigand—being appointed her assistant. The picturesque tale of her surrender of the keys of the castle to King John during one of his visits to Lincoln, pleading her inability to sustain the fatigue and anxiety of so important a charge by reason of her advanced age, and the king's gracious restoration of them to her, and of her retaining the governorship " all the life of King John, and after his decease under King Henry, the father of the King that now is,'' is found in the " Inquisi- tiones," A° 3 Ed. I., 1274-5, and is printed in the Lincoln volume. The energetic old lady died at her manor of Swayton, near Folking- ham, in 1231." The only remaining name, that of William Curceis, cannot be cer- tainly identified.

There have, not unexpectedly, been considerable archival losses too, as some later vacancy inventories at York make clear: the Durham sede vacante register of Alexander Neville (1381) and accompanying visitation records; the York sede vacante register after Neville’s own translation in 1388; the register of Thomas Arundel (only the register of his vicars-general survives today), and the register of Robert Waldby (likewise only his vicar-general’s register is now extant) have all long disappeared.1 Some of these would also have included records of ordinations, now missing from the chronological sequence.

  • Returning Officer Comments and Proposed Polling Station Changes
    Comments of the Returning Officer. 1. As the Returning Officer for North Lincolnshire I am satisfied that the current polling districts and polling places provide good facilities for voting within North Lincolnshire and the Parliamentary Constituencies. Since the last statutory review in 2014 there have inevitably been some changes in relation to population and residential development in communities across the area. Planning permission has also been given to provide additional housing in the future. Consequently, polling districts and associated polling places where affected, should be examined to ensure that they are by size of population fit for purpose over the next five years. The following polling districts and places have been identified – Barton upon Humber Brigg Broughton Kirton in Lindsey Scunthorpe Winterton West of Scunthorpe 2. In addition, there is a need to consider the suitability of a number of polling places/ stations within North Lincolnshire. Some have changed since the last statutory review and others have and will become unavailable, have become unsuitable or new more suitable alternatives found. These are listed in the following appendices overleaf. 3. Finally in relation to polling places, further examination of the current number and location of mobile polling stations within North Lincolnshire should be carried out. 4. Although I have referred to the above polling districts and places, as part of the review, other areas may also need to be examined as comments are received during the consultation period. Such comments are welcomed in the overall review of polling districts and polling places with the aim of ensuring that good facilities for voting are available to all the electorate of North Lincolnshire.

    YORK CLERGY ORDINATIONS 1510-1519 compiled by Claire Cross Borthwick List and Index 31 2002 © University of York, 2002 ISBN 0-903857-87-1 CONTENTS Introduction Abbreviations vii Alphabetical Register of Ordinands 1510-1519 Table of York Clergy Ordinations 1510-1519 216 Index 226 INTRODUCTION With a peak of 260 priests in 1510, way below the unprecedented figure of 446 regulars and seculars admitted to the priesthood in 1508, the number of men presenting themselves for ordination in the diocese of York from 1510 to 1519 never matched the level attained earlier in the sixteenth century. Though the annual total fluctuated between 260 and 184, there were only two years when it is known to have dipped below 200, and for the decade as a whole the region generated more than 2,200 new priests. Taking account the gap in the records, this produces an annual average of around 220 priests of whom about 40 were regulars and 180 seculars. Suffragan bishops conducted six ordination ceremonies virtually every year with around 150 acolytes, subdeacons, deacons and priests consecrated on each occasion, the candidates sometimes exceeding 200. All this suggests that ordinations had reached a steady state in this decade and provides few signs of any substantial decline. The situation at York parallels that of English dioceses of a similar size. At 172 the average annual total of secular priests being ordained in the diocese of Lincoln during Atwater's episcopate from 1515 to 1520 was almost identical with that at York. During Blythe's twenty-seven year tenure of the see of Coventry and Lichfield an average of 167 seculars were admitted to priest's orders each year.

Extensive forgery prevents us from gaining a clear picture and renders any conclusions uncertain. Our knowledge of Eynsham abbey in the reign of Henry I is similarly fragmentary. 000, Regesta 708 below confirms that the abbey was in existence in some form in 1100 × 1107. The diploma of 1109, 000, Regesta 928, gives a clear and apparently trustworthy account of the abbey’s possessions in that year. It comprised much of Eynsham’s historic endowment, together with the lands and tithes that Robert Bloet had been forced to hand over after he expelled the monks from Stow. The diploma also records some recent gifts by laymen, including three and a half hides at Milcombe (Oxon) given by Nigel d’Oilly. Bishop Bloet died on 10 January 1123, after collapsing while riding with the king near Woodstock. His viscera were interred at Eynsham, but his body was taken to Lincoln for burial (William of Malmesbury, Gesta pontificum Anglorum IV § 177.

FIRST SWALLOW Fly in your triumph over this ancestral field, You who know more of sunnier climes Than we rooted here. Charge the wind and splinter rods of rain. Find in your delight, a way above the weald To show us, downcast in wet times, Weather holds no fear; And in fireside memory, may our enlightenment remain.

Yours are the skyways, and in absolute command Of air about these pastoral slopes, Let your heart sing, Whilst we, set as we are, watch in certain wonder. Malcolm Doughty ! "!
