U DHO Documents Relating to the 1127-1809 Seigniory of Holderness Hull History Centre: The Seigniory of Holderness U DHO Documents relating to the 1127-1809 Seigniory of Holderness Historical background: The history of the seigniory of Holderness is largely provided by two books: Barbara English, The lords of Holderness 1086-1260 (1979) and George Poulson, The history and antiquities of the seigniory of Holderness in the East Riding of the county of York in 2 volumes (1840). The latter also provides histories of the abbey of Meaux (now non- existent) and the priories of Nunkeeling (now a parish church) and Burstall (washed away) for which there are papers in U DHO. Holderness is a triangular piece of land between the Humber, the Hull Valley and the North Sea. At the time of Edward the Confessor it was held by many freeholders but after the Norman Conquest it became a single unit, granted by the Norman kings to various counts. For the first 2 years these were the counts of Aumale (or Albemarle) who came from north- east Normandy. They held the liberty of Holderness relatively early and knights of Holderness held their fees directly from the counts. The fees of Holderness were large, enabling only three main families, that of Fauconberg, St Quintin and Ros, to hold most of the knights' fees in exchange for military service. During the time of Henry III the lordship of Holderness was held by Isabella de Fortibus, countess of Albemarle, but it reverted to the crown in the time of Edward I because of failure of the male line. After the death of Edward I the lordship was granted to Peter de Gaveston until he was beheaded in 1312 and the seigniory was inherited by his widow, the countess of Cornwall. In the time of Edward II the seigniory reverted to the crown again. It continued this way in the time of Edward III until costly wars forced the king to grant the manor of Burstwick to William de la Pole in exchange for financial aid. There were several transactions made with William de la Pole in Holderness until he was considered the new lord from about the 1340s. From 1365 the seigniory was held by Isabella, eldest daughter of Edward III, before it reverted again to the crown who granted it several more times until Thomas Plantagenet, second son of Henry IV, was created earl of Albemarle and duke of Clarence in 1411 and granted the manor of Burstwick, the castle at Skipsea (now earthworks) and the patronage of the abbeys of Meaux and Thornton. However, he died without issue at Anjou during the reign of Henry V and during the reign of Henry VI the privy council agreed that the feofees of the late duke of Clarence could retain the lands and tithes and so on for forty years to pay his debts before the lordship once again reverted to the crown. The seigniory then seems to have alternated between the crown and the Stafford family, dukes of Buckingham, through the reign of Henry VII, after which Henry VIII claimed the seigniory and the Tudors held the lordship until Mary I granted it to Henry Neville, earl of Westmorland. Henry Neville then granted the seigniory of Holderness to Sir John Constable of Burton Constable, who had married his daughter, Catherine. The seigniory remained in the Constable family (for a while the Viscounts of Dunbar) from the sixteenth century. Custodial History: Donated by Mr H.

  • U DDBA Papers of the Barnards Family 1401-1945 of South Cave
    Hull History Centre: Papers of the Barnards Family of South Cave U DDBA Papers of the Barnards Family 1401-1945 of South Cave Historical background: The papers relate to the branch of the family headed by Leuyns Boldero Barnard who began building up a landed estate centred on South Cave in the mid-eighteenth century. His inherited ancestry can be traced back to William and Elizabeth Barnard in the late sixteenth century. Their son, William Barnard, became mayor of Hull and died in 1614. Of his seven sons, two of them also served time as mayor of Hull, including the sixth son, Henry Barnard (d.1661), through whose direct descendants Leuyns Boldero Barnard was eventually destined to succeed. Henry Barnard, married Frances Spurrier and together had a son and a daughter. His daughter, Frances, married William Thompson MP of Humbleton and his son, Edward Barnard, who lived at North Dalton, was recorder of Hull and Beverley from the early 1660s until 1686 when he died. He and his wife Margaret, who was also from the Thompson family, had at least seven children, the eldest of whom, Edward Barnard (d.1714), had five children some of whom died without issue and some had only female heirs. The second son, William Barnard (d.1718) married Mary Perrot, the daughter of a York alderman, but had no children. The third son, Henry Barnard (will at U DDBA/14/3), married Eleanor Lowther, but he also died, in 1769 at the age of 94, without issue. From the death of Henry Barnard in 1769 the family inheritance moved laterally.

  • Local Flood Risk Management Strategy March 2015
    East Riding of Yo rkshire Council Local Flood Risk Management Strategy March 2015 Consultation Draft "Reducing flood risk, sustaining communities, enabling growth" EAST RIDING OF YORKS HIRE LOCAL FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY CONSULTATION DRAFT MARCH 2015 ©2015. East Riding of Yorkshire Council. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced in any form or by any means without the prior permission of the East Riding of Yorkshire Council 3 4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introducing the Local Flood Risk Management Strategy for the East Riding of Yorkshire The Local Flood Risk Management Strategy (Local FRM Strategy) sets out what the Council intends to do, working with organisations, businesses and communities, to manage the risk of flooding in the East Riding of Yorkshire over the next 10-15 years. It is of interest to all who live and work in the area, as managing the risk of flooding requires action by everyone. It is of interest to organisations that have specific responsibilities for managing flood risk such as the Environment Agency, Internal Drainage Boards and the Highways Agency, as they are legally required to act in a manner that is consistent with it in exercising these flood risk duties, and must also have regard to it in carrying out other work they do that may affect flood risk. Water companies are also legally required to have regard to the Local FRM Strategy in relation to their flood risk management functions. Putting flood risk into context As recent times have shown, many parts of the East Riding are susceptible to flooding, and the impacts can be wide ranging and severe.
