INTRODUCTION HE Manuscript Which Is Here Published Is One of the Registers Preserved Among the Duchy of Lancaster Records at the T 1 Public Record Office INTRODUCTION HE manuscript which is here published is one of the registers preserved among the Duchy of Lancaster records at the T 1 Public Record Office. It is on vellum, the folio measurements averaging 9 in. by 13I in., and there are normally 55 lines to the page. The volume contains 153 folios, of which 3 to 152 are num- bered to 154 in an Elizabethan hand not later than about 1580.2 Of the folios as originally numbered 27 are blank, and in addition 26 pages are likewise blank. Between ff. 87 and 88 four leaves have been cut out after the original foliation, as f. 90 follows f. 85 in the original numbering. The writing is mostly in one, small hand, but there have been one or two other scribes at work. Enrolment has not been made without errors.3 The arrangement is orderly and clear ; the individual entries are set out in paragraph form, and the names of the person or persons in whose favour the original was made, or the purpose of the document, occur in the margin. These marginal notes have not been printed here, but where the marginal heading has a variant reading or additional information, it is referred to in a footnote. The various sections are generally preceded by a descriptive heading. Most of the documents enrolled are in French : the few that are in Latin are chiefly presentations to livings, in which the dating is by the Christian era, whereas the documents in French have been dated by the regnal years of Richard II. Some twenty or thirty years ago the volume was rebound at the Public Record Office.4 It is in good condition. 1 Duchy of Lanes. Misc.

(a) Remembrance de une lettre envoiee a le conestable de Burdeux pur seiser es mains du roy tous les bens et chateux moevables et im- moveables de Johan Neveu de Burdeux qestoit neye a Dax sauns les departer et de certifier le value queux sount. Item un garrant estoit done a le bailiff de la Bord pur seiser les terres et tenements et autres bens de le seignourye de Nempere dedeins la Bord. (6) Monsire J. Harpeden seneschal de Gyen. (c) Mestre Rennon du Puy Judge de le court sovireine daquitan.2 On ff. 152b and 153a there are more jottings by Tusser which are dated 10 January 1585, and are marked " Tusser's writing " by Ayloffe. Throughout the volume there are occasional marginal notes in later hands. A very few of them are by Ayloffe (calling attention to matters which interested him) ; but most of them are of the sixteenth century and fall into two groups : (a) the letter N, and searches by the fact that it commences with presentations.—D.L. 41 (Misc.)/ 35/19, f. 43b. The original covers are preserved in D.L. 42/148. 1 The first two folios are blank, except for a note (inverted) on f. 2a : " mons. Johan Butiller | meistr' Forester de noz | Forestes & parkes deinz | Westderbyshire " (14th cent.). F. ib has the number 4 inverted in the left corner at the foot, and in the same hand as the other folio numbers. This points to a slight rearrangement at some time when the volume was rebound, probably during the eighteenth century, when many books in the Duchy of Lancaster office were rebound. F. 6, which comes between the folios origin- ally numbered 3 and 5 (now 5 and 7), has no number. The explanation is that what are now three separate gatherings of 2 folios each were originally one of 6, but the present first gathering was inverted and formed the two outer leaves, the first of which (blank on the right side, with the note about Butiller on the dorse) was followed by the present f. 6 (originally un- numbered), f. 3 (original 1, with presentations of 3 Ric. II), f. 4 (original 2), f. 5 (original 3), and the original number 4 is thus on the following folio, which is blank. The rearrangement has therefore been made since Ayloffe's time. 2 The supreme court was formed in 1375, with Raimon Guillaume as one of its members, and in the same year Harpeden was appointed seneschal for two years.

The following may be added : Letters by the duke of Lancaster from Spain, ff. 150 et seq. Manumissions, f. 151b. Fees of the duke's attornies in the king's courts, f. 152. This index gives an outline of the contents of the volume. From it will be seen that after f. 140, the end of the enrolment of safe-con- ducts, the register proper terminates. Henceforward the docu- ments enrolled are of a miscellaneous type, some falling outside the limiting dates of the register proper, and many of them not under the duke's seal. It is perhaps necessary to repeat here Professor Baldwin's remark that this register is only one of several registers formed in the duke's chancery.

  • The Early History of Man's Activities in the Quernmore Area
    I Contrebis 2000 The Early History of Man's Activities in the Quernmore Area. Phil Hudson Introduction This paper hopes to provide a chronological outline of the events which were important in creating the landscape changes in the Quernmore forest area. There was movement into the area by prehistoric man and some further incursions in the Anglo- Saxon and the Norse periods leading to Saxon estates and settled agricultural villages by the time of the Norman Conquest. These villages and estates were taken over by the Normans, and were held of the King, as recorded in Domesday. The Post-Nonnan conquest new lessees made some dramatic changes and later emparked, assarted and enclosed several areas of the forest. This resulted in small estates, farms and vaccaries being founded over the next four hundred years until these enclosed areas were sold off by the Crown putting them into private hands. Finally there was total enclosure of the remaining commons by the 1817 Award. The area around Lancaster and Quernmore appears to have been occupied by man for several thousand years, and there is evidence in the forest landscape of prehistoric and Romano-British occupation sites. These can be seen as relict features and have been mapped as part of my on-going study of the area. (see Maps 1 & 2). Some of this field evidence can be supported by archaeological excavation work, recorded sites and artif.act finds. For prehistoric occupation in the district random finds include: mesolithic flints,l polished stone itxe heads at Heysham;'worked flints at Galgate (SD 4827 5526), Catshaw and Haythomthwaite; stone axe and hammer heads found in Quernmore during the construction of the Thirlmere pipeline c1890;3 a Neolithic bowl, Mortlake type, found in Lancaster,o a Bronze Age boat burial,s at SD 5423 5735: similar date fragments of cinerary urn on Lancaster Moor,6 and several others discovered in Lancaster during building works c1840-1900.7 Several Romano-British sites have been mapped along with finds of rotary quems from the same period and associated artifacts.

  • Sources for the Study of Local History
    Durham County Record Office County Hall Durham DH1 5UL Telephone 03000 267619 e-mail: [email protected] website: www.durhamrecordoffice.org.uk SUBJECT GUIDE 2 : SOURCES FOR THE STUDY OF LOCAL HISTORY Issue 8 March 2012 This leaflet describes some of the resources available for the study of local history in the Durham County Record Office, and it is geared specifically to County Durham's history and historical materials. Durham's history and records are, in many ways, unlike those of most English counties. The most obvious distinctive feature of its history is that, until 1836, the Prince Bishop exercised powers in the County Palatine much greater than those of the authorities in other counties. Another feature of County Durham's history which should be taken into account is the influence wielded by the Dean and Chapter of Durham through its extensive ownership of land and consequent participation in the development of the coal industry. The third significant characteristic of Durham's history is the rise and decline of the coalfield itself. These three features of the history of the county have also meant that the bodies responsible for the preservation of its records are unusually diverse: the records of the Palatinate are in London at The National Archives, those of the Bishopric and Dean and Chapter are cared for by the Archives and Special Collections Section of the University of Durham Library and the Durham County Record Office holds other local records. It is intended in this leaflet to describe only those records held in the County Record Office which are relevant to the study of the most usually researched topics.

  • The Story of a Man Called Daltone
    - The Story of a Man called Daltone - “A semi-fictional tale about my Dalton family, with history and some true facts told; or what may have been” This story starts out as a fictional piece that tries to tell about the beginnings of my Dalton family. We can never know how far back in time this Dalton line started, but I have started this when the Celtic tribes inhabited Britain many yeas ago. Later on in the narrative, you will read factual information I and other Dalton researchers have found and published with much embellishment. There also is a lot of old English history that I have copied that are in the public domain. From this fictional tale we continue down to a man by the name of le Sieur de Dalton, who is my first documented ancestor, then there is a short history about each successive descendant of my Dalton direct line, with others, down to myself, Garth Rodney Dalton; (my birth name) Most of this later material was copied from my research of my Dalton roots. If you like to read about early British history; Celtic, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Normans, Knight's, Kings, English, American and family history, then this is the book for you!

    80 In which we Dawdle When Edward I arrived back in 1289 from Gascony, he was in many ways at the height of his awesomeness. A chivalric monarch, a leading statesman in Christendom, and at least partly responsible for legal reforms, that will cause a historian to call him 'the English Justinian'. But he also had problems. He was strapped for cash. There was a background of discontent against the firmness of Edward's rule. But Edward was a clever politician as well as a chivalric monarch, and knew how to negotiate his way back to popularity - and it would not be good news for England's Jewish community. 16th-century illustration of Edward I presiding over Parliament.

These open spaces once separated the dispersed farms that spread between the first village nucleus around the church originally founded in the 12th century, the village pound nearby, and, a grouping of three farms and the mill to the north east, located by the river and known to exist by the early 13th century. This dispersed agricultural settlement pattern started to change in the 1860s as more intakes were filled with villas and bungalows, constructed by the Victorian middle classes arriving by train and keen to visit or stay and admire the moorland views and waterfalls. This created a new village core closer to the station where hotels and shops were developed to serve visitors and residents and this, combined with the later war memorial, has created a village green character and a tighter settlement pattern than seen elsewhere in the village.
