Great Britain. Exchequer.

The survey of the county of York, taken by John de Kirkby, commonly called Kirkby's inquest

. (page 2 of 57)

(part of) Harthill.

Two of the MSS. mentioned below contain the returns for
Langbargh and Pickering wapentakes, but for those of Agbrigg,
Ewcross, Osgoldcross, Staincross and Whitby- Strand, and the
liberties of Aldborough, Knaresborough and Eipon, none have
been discovered. Perhaps Osgoldcross and Staincross were not
surveyed on account of all the manors being held by one
person, as appears from the Nomina Villarum; Aldborough
with its dependencies was ancient demesne in the hands of the
crown ; and with regard to the other wapentakes and liberties
not included in the returns now extant, the Commissioners may
have met with similar treatment to that experienced a few years
later by the jurors appointed to enquire concerning Knights
Fees :

" Ballivi Comitis Warenni non permittunt nos intrare libertatem
Comitis, unde praejudicate vos " (page 227, postea}. " Tcnentes
Comitis Warenni neque in Halomshire nee Donecastre, cum socagio,
corani nobis noluerunt respondere nee venire, ideo de eis nihil possumus
respondere" (page 231, posted).

Although it is occasionally corrupt in its nomenclature, the
York MS. appears upon the whole to be more correct than any
other copy of the Inquest that I have had the opportunity of
examining. It has on this account, therefore, been selected for
the texf now printed, with the exception of the inquisitions for

r Sonic slight alteration lias been made in the sequence of the w
included in the York MS., so as to bring each into its proper Hiding.

the wapentake of Ouse and Derwent and the liberty of Rich-
mondshire, which are derived from earlier transcripts. The
York* text has been collated with some of the following MSS.

long by 7} inches wide, lettered on the back, KIRKBY QUEST,

Nomina Villaram for Yorkshire. This is followed by Kirkby s
Inquest for the same county, which agrees in general arrange
ment with the York MS., and comprises the same wapentakes.
The remaining portion of the book is occupied by Inquisitions
of Knights Fees, taken in the 31st Edward I., for the wapen
takes and liberties of Claro, Skyrack, Knaresborough, Aid-
borough, Ripon, Barkston, the Ainsty, Morley, Agbrigg,
StraflPorth and Tickhill.

B., iv., 24. Handwriting, about the middle of the sixteenth
century. This transcript of the Inquest includes the returns
for the same wapentakes as the York and A. MSS., but there is
a slight difference in their arrangement. In addition to the
Inquisitions of Knights Fees, 31st Edward I., as given in the
MS. last described, this volume contains a valuable return of a
similar nature, and of the same date, for the wapentake of
Staincliffe.

* There is another copy of Kirkby s Inquest in the Eegistry of the Dean and
Chapter of York, which agrees generally with the MS. just described. It is
contained in a Feodary s Book, written in the reign of queen Elizabeth, the
class-mark of which is 31. This MS. also comprises transcripts of Inquisitions
of Knights Fees and the Nomina Villarum for Yorkshire. It is hereinafter
referred to by the letter F.

Inquest for the county of York, which agrees generally with the
MSS. already described, except that the wapentake of Harthill
is placed between those of Strafforth and Staincliffe, this book
contains copies of Rolls of Fees abstracted from Inquisitions
taken by John de Kirkby and his fellows in other parts^ of
England. It likewise contains a mass of matter, derived chiefly
from the accounts of the escheators in the time of Edward I.
and Edward II., and comprehending facts possibly not to be
found elsewhere. The following is a sample of the entries,
taken from the compotus of Thomas de Burgh, escheator ultra
Trentam, 15th Edward II. :

includes, also, two versions of the Inquest for Skyrack wapen-
take. One agrees generally with the abstract given in the York
MS. The other is entitled, " Wapentagium de Skyrack alio

on the same page.

return for the wapentake of Pickering, of which only one other
copy is known to be extant. It likewise contains transcripts
of the Inquisitions taken by John de Kirkby in Richmondshire,
which differ in several important particulars from the MSS.
already described, and also from the Register of the Honor of
Richmond (Cott. MSS., Faust. B. vii.), whence the text for this
portion of the Inquest is derived/

* A copy of the Inquest is preserved in the Library of the Leeds Grammar
School. It is thus described in the printed Catalogue : " An Inquisition taken
by John de Kirkby and his associates, Commissioners assigned by the writ arid
order of king Edward I. Copied from the originals by T. Wilson, 1747, in folio."
This manuscript, however, was not " copied from the originals." According to
the title-page, it was " Transcribed from an Antient MS. belonging unto the
Bight hon. Family of the Percys, Earls of Northumberland., by John Hopkinson
of Lofthouse, Gent., Clerk of the Peace for the West Biding, 1656 ; which Tran
script was generously communicated by Bichard Bichardson of Byerley, Esq., the
very good Friend of T. Wilson, anno 1747." The volume comprises the Nomina
Villarum for Yorkshire, an abridged version of Kirkby s Inquest, and several
Inquisitions of Knights Fees, but it contains nothing which may not be found
in the MSS. already described, and the text is exceedingly corrupt.

I would take this opportunity of thanking Dr. Henderson, the Head Master,
for his kindness in allowing me to examine this MS.



XX THE PREFACE.

Langbargh, Pickering and Skyrack, all the so-called copies or
transcripts of the Inquest that have just been described must
be considered as abstracts only of the original Inquisitions ; and
from the fact that in all the above-mentioned MSS. the entry
relating to the town of Driffield, in the East Riding, is placed
between the returns for the wapentake of Morley, in the West
Riding, and that of Birdforth, in the North Riding, there can
be little doubt that these abstracts were originally derived from
a common source.

As nearly all the above-mentioned MSS. were found to
contain copies of Inquisitions of Knights Fees, taken in the
31st Edward I., for the wapentakes and liberties of Claro,
Skyrack, Knaresborough, Aldborough, Ripon, Barkston, the
Ainsty, Morley, Agbrigg, Strafforth, and Tickhill, some of
which were not included, and others only partially surveyed, in
Kirkby s Inquest, and more particularly, also, as these Inquisi
tions, with others mentioned below, appeared to afford a valuable
means of testing its general accuracy, it has been considered
advisable to print them in the present volume. To these have
been added similar Inquisitions, of the same date, for the wapen
takes of Langbargh, Pickering, Howdenshire, Holderness, Dic
kering, Harthill, and Buckrose, and the returns of the Aid
granted to king Edward I., all derived from the original Subsidy
Rolls preserved among the Miscellaneous Records of the Queen s
Remembrancer in the Exchequer, which I obtained permission
to transcribe through the kind offices of Mr. Walbran, who was
the first to point them out as useful for this work.

Although the " Nomina Villarum " for the county of York
has already appeared in print under the editorial care of Sir
Francis Palgrave, yet since the work y in which it is included is
not accessible to students of Yorkshire topography generally,
and is inconveniently cumbrous in its bulk, it has been thought

" Parliamentary Writs, vol. ii.., div. iii.



THE PREFACE. XXI

expedient to append this document to a record, of which it is a
valuable illustration. Except where otherwise stated, the text
now printed is derived from the Harleian MS., 6281, which
was one of those used by Sir Francis Palgrave. A description
of this MS. is given at page 302, posted ; and to what is there
stated I will only add that no pains have been spared to correct
the errors of a corrupt text.

The illustrative documents printed in the Appendix have
been chiefly derived from the archiepiscopal registers at York.
Among them will be found some valuable Inquisitions of Knights
Fees in the wapentakes of Buhner and Holderness, containing
particulars relating to several places not named in Kirkby s In
quest; similar Inquisitions of Fees held of the see of York in the
counties of York. Nottingham, Lincoln, Leicester and Glou
cester ; a List of all the Homages rendered to the archbishops
for lands in Yorkshire held of the see ; and several early grants
of wardship and marriage. The Appendix concludes with some
tables of Land Measure, etc., taken from a Rental of Henry,
earl of Northumberland, which are valuable as being calculations
on the subject of carucates and oxgangs, made while the feudal
system was in existence.

The corrupt and irregular nomenclature of Kirkby s Inquest
and the Nomina Villarum has partly rendered necessary the
preparation of a somewhat elaborate Index Locorum, which, it
is hoped, will prove not the least valuable portion of this work.
As far as they can be identified, the Domesday names and the
modern names of all the Yorkshire vills mentioned in the text
are given in parallel columns, references being added to the
facsimile edition of Domesday Book, and to the sheets of the
Ordnance Survey on the 6-inch scale.

In conclusion, the editor begs to offer the thanks of the
Surtees Society to the Dean and Chapter of York, for their
liberality in having placed at its disposal an early copy of
Kirk by s Inquest, which has furnished the text of a considerable

portion of this work ; to Messrs. Buckle and Hudson,, for per
mission to extract from the archiepiscopal registers what might
be necessary for the purpose of illustration ; to the Rev. H. O.
Coxe, keeper of the Bodleian Library, for the unrestricted use
of the Dodsworth and Rawlinson MSS.; and to Joseph Munby,
Esq., of York, for the loan of the Percy MSS.

The editor desires, also, to tender his personal acknowledg
ments to Professor Max Miiller, H. A. Hudson, Esq., and C. A.
Thiselton, Esq., for their unvarying courtesy and attention ; and
to T. Burton, Esq., C. Jackson, Esq., and Dr. Sykes, for their
obliging communications.

Above all, the writer must express his grateful thanks to
his kind relative, Robert Davies, Esq., to the Rev. Canon Raine,
and to J. R. Walbran, Esq., for the aid and counsel they have
at all times afforded, and for their valuable assistance in secur
ing the general accuracy of this his first literary essay.

a Except where otherwise stated, this text is printed from a Manuscript,
written in the latter part of the fifteenth century, which is now preserved in the
Eegistry of the Dean and Chapter of York. Torre s reference to it is P.y.

A description of this MS., as well as of other copies of Kirkby s Inquest with
which it has been collated, has been given in the Preface, and it is only necessary
here to supplement what is there stated by a few explanatory remarks.

Although, upon the whole, the York MS. is, apparently, the most correct of
any of the so-called transcripts of this Inquest which I have had the opportunity
of examining, the names of places and persons are occasionally so corruptly
given that considerable difficulty has in consequence been experienced in their
identification. It has on this account, therefore, been considered inadvisable to
perpetuate in every case the errors in the text now printed ; but no alteration has
been made where the slightest doubt has occurred as to the place or person
intended. The more minute variations between the York MS. and some of those
mentioned below are not recorded, and the bracketted portions of the text, in the
instances unnoted, are supplied by conjecture. In the different readings given
in the attendant notes, the several letters appended refer to the following MSS. :

A. A book marked B., i., 11, in the Treasury of Receipt of the Exchequer
Department of the Public Record Office.

B. A book marked B., iv., 24, in the same Department.

C. A book numbered 52 in the Queen s Remembrancer s Department of the
Exchequer.

de Kirkby died on Palm Sunday, 18th Edward I. (Calendarium Genealogicum,
i., 416), would prove this date to be incorrect. The Coucher Book of Fountains
contains, however, several extracts from this Inquisition, which are thus headed :
" In Itinere Johannis Kyrkby, anno regni regis Edwardi primi xiij, habetur
sic." It appears, also, from the Rawlinson MS. (450 B, 84) that the Inquisition
for Langbargh wapentake was taken " apud Ormesby, coram domino Johanne
de Kirkeby, thesaurario domini regis, die Sabbati proximo ante Passionem Do
mini, anno regni regis Edwardi tertio decimo." The surveys for the wapen-
takes of Skyrack (. Ibid., 43) and Ouse and Derwent (Reg. apud Dunelm.) are also
stated to have been made in the same year. There was a separate Inquisition
for Richmondshire, which was not taken until the 15th Edward I. (Cott. MS.
Faust., B, viii., fo. 90).

d This wapentake, which also comprises a portion of the liberty of Tickhill,
has been collated with MSS. A. and C. This note belongs to the preceding page.

* Isabella and Idonea de Vipont, the daughters and co-heiresses of Robert de
Vipont, were the widows respectively of Roger de Clifford, junior, and Roger
de Leyburn. Idonea re-married John de Cromwell, and died s.p. about 1333.
In the Inq. p.m. of the above Roger de Clifford, taken in the llth Edward I.,
the jurors say that " ipse Rogerus de Clifford et dominus Rogerus de Leyburne
tenuerunt manerium de Maltheby ; et hoc ratione uxorum suarum quse erant
filise et hseredes domini Roberti de Veteri Ponte " (Cal. Gen., i., 331).
