ANCIENT BEDFORDSHIRE DEEDS. II.

DEEDS RELATING TO ELSTOW.

BY F. A. PAGE-TURNER.

[Prefatory Note. — This collection of deeds, which is in the possession of Mr. Page-Turner, should be of great interest to the historian of Elstow. It is somewhat unusual in the number preserved for a single property, and in the period of more than a century which it covers.

To those unacquainted with the conveyances of the period, one or two points perhaps require a word of ex- planation. One of these is the method of defining the arable land which was to be conveyed by the deed. Since such land was held, as a rule, in strips of a rood, a half acre, or an acre, scattered over the Open Fields, and not in closes or hedged fields, each strip is defined by the ownership of the strips north and south (or east and west) of it, and by the name of the field, road, or other recognis- able land on which it ' abutted ' at one end of the furrows. Another point is the often recurring phrase, ' to be holden of the chief lord of the fee by the services due and of right accustomed,' or similar words. This is a reminis- cence of a much older social system. In early times the lord of a manor held his land from such a tenant-in-chief of the Crown. as Beauchamp of Bedford, on condition that he rendered ' Knight Service.' (See B.H.R.S. articles on this subject). But after that actual service in the field had been commuted for a money payment or scutage,

6 ELSTOW DEEDS

when the lord of the manor parted with some of his land, the land was sold burdened with its proportional share of this payment or other service, due to the chief lord, and termed forinsic service ; to such service the phrase refers.

Another interesting echo of earlier times, a relic of villanage, is seen in No. xvii ; by this deed a work-rent is still exacted, — a day's labour in harvest time to be done by an able-bodied man, finding his own food.

The Bunyans mentioned in Nos. xliii, xliv, 1, li, liii, are Thomas Bunyan, described as ' brazier,' and as ' petty chapman,' and Anne his second wife, widow of John Bid- kin of Elstow, the grandfather and step-grandmother of the famous John Bunyan.

There is still room for discussion as to the proper medieval spelling of Elstow, in which the evidence of these deeds is not without weight, (i) Domesday Book undoubtedly gives the name as Elnestou (D.B. Facsimile, p. xvii., col. i.) ; but it is admitted that the Norman scribes who took down from oral information barbarous and un- familiar Saxon names, and then copied their notes into D.B., frequently blundered over place-names; their evidence therefore, though weighty, is not finally conclu- sive, (ii.) In reading documents of the xiith to the xviith century, a constant difficulty is met in deciding whether a certain letter is intended to be n or u ; most scribes merely made two ' minim ' strokes, taking for granted that the reader knew the name, and could be in no doubt between the two letters. Starting with the Domesday form, the transcribers of the Record Commission, followed by prac- tically all later transcribers, have taken the two minims to represent n, and have printed the medieval name as Elne- stowe or Alnestowe, though it can as easily be read Elue- stowe or Aluestowe. [The initials A and E had nearly same sound, coming from Anglo-Saxon JE]. (iii.) With the usual human desire to find explanations for names, grew up from the supposed form Elnestowe a legend

PREFATORY NOTE 7

that the Abbey of Elstow had been dedicated to St. Helen, and that the place name meant Helen's Stow. The Abbey was, however, undoubtedly dedicated to St. Mary the Virgin, but the question is complicated by the fact that there actually was a chapel dedicated to St. Helen in the churchyard of Elstow (V.C.H., Beds., i, 354), as early as the xivth century. The late Professor Skeat pointed out (Place Names of Bedfordshire : Publ. Camb. Antiq. Soc, xlii, 45) that the genitive case could never be Elnes, Alnes, or Aunes at an early date, and we may dismiss any prejudice in favour of the form Elnestowe on the score of the Saint, (iv.) We now come to the evidence of these deeds. Except as an initial, the letter v is rarely written in medieval deeds, and its sound is represented by u before a vowel. But when, in the hand commonly used for such deeds, the letter v came to be written in the middle of a word at a period embraced by the later deeds of this collection (1589 and onwards), we seem at once to get the form Elvestowe. It is not likely that the sound of the name changed suddenly from Elnestowe to Elvestowe, so it seems probable that the real medieval form was Elue- stowe or Aluestowe, not Elnestowe or Alnestowe, which as a matter of fact would more likely have been shortened to Enstow.

Professor Skeat in his studies of county place-names generally accepted the transcriptions of the Record Com- mission and Rolls Office without criticism; he started, therefore, with the assumption that Elnestowe was the medieval form, from which he deduced a hypothetical iElfnothes-stow. I am not enough of an Anglo-Saxon scholar to dare to offer an alternative explanation, but it is easy to see that less strained Anglo-Saxon derivations than this are possible. The matter is still open for fur- ther dispute, but with the concurrence of Mr. Page- Turner the form Eluestowe has been adopted in this volume. — Editor.]

ANCIENT INDICTMENTS, 1341-2.

BY G. HERBERT FOWLER.

The Record from which these indictments are taken is officially " King's Bench, Ancient Indictments, Beds, no. i," of the Record Office. This class of Records includes " the original Indictments found by the Grand Jury in the Court of King's Bench, all informations ex- hibited on the Crown Side of the Court, and also such Indictments, Presentments, and Convictions as were re- moved into the King's Bench by Certiorari or

Writ of Error." No. i may be an Indictment found by Grand Jury ; the rest appear to be the presentments of a joint session of the Hundred Courts of Willey and Stodden to the Justices in Eyre. — The second membrane of the roll is practically a duplicate of the third.

A hard matter in these lawless times was the due administration of justice. Although now more than a century since the day when Falk de Breaute imprisoned such as he could catch of the Justices who had fined him, still, as this Record bears witness, things had not grown much better. The first entry deals with men who con- spired to use the forms of law corruptly for their own ends. This had for some time past been a crying evil; in 25 Edward i (1299- 1300), a statute, known as ' Articuli super chartas,' shows that a special writ had been devised for such cases as conspiracy to put forward false information or to pack a panel.

54

ANCIENT INDICTMENTS

En droit de conspiratours faus cnfourmours e mauveis procureours de duzeines cnquests assises e jurees le Roi ad ordene remedie as pleintifs par bref de Chan- celerie [etc.]

In right of conspirators, false informers, and wrong- ful procurers of Twelves, Inquisitions, Assises, and Juries, the King has or- dained a remedy for the plaintiffs by Writ of the Chancery [etc.]

Five years later it was conspiracy :

Conspiratours sount ceux qi se entrelient per sere- ment covenant ou per autre alliaunce qe chescun eid- era e sustendra autri em- prise fausement e malicious- ment enditer ou faire en- diter ou fausement mover plees ou maintenir [etc.]

found necessary to define

Conspirators are those who bind themselves by oath covenant or other tie that each will support other, undertaking falsely and maliciously to indict or cause to indict or falsely to present or to maintain pleas [etc.]

The definition was agreed in Parliament, and a copy ordered to be sent to all Justices of Oyer and Terminer.

Even more open defiance of the law was shown. In the sixth entry, John, Baron of Wahull, party to a suit in the Court of the Justices in Eyre, presents himself at Bedford with a number of armed followers as a threat. In the seventh entry, the Earl of Norfolk, likewise party to a suit, is not content with a mere display of force, but actually compels the Deputy Sheriff to empanel a jury of his own choosing.

SELECTIONS FROM JURY LISTS.

TRANSCRIBED BY THE REV. J. E. BROWN.

[Note. — A fairly complete set of the Lists of Persons qualified to serve on Juries in the County of Bedford, from 1780 onwards, is preserved among the County Muniments. Some of these Lists have been made available for publica- tion by the zealous labour of the Rev. J. E. Brown, and are printed here by permission of the Records Committee of the County Council.

The earlier lists consist of the original papers made out by the Parish Constable, among whose qualifications accurate spelling was not, as a rule, included, though his writing was generally quite good. The papers were generally made out the year before that by which the List is dated ; thus in the first transcript below the date of the papers (1780) is given, but the List is filed as that for 1781.

These papers have not been transcribed word for word ; the result would have been burdensome alike to write, to print, and to read. Every name, however, is given in the following transcripts ; the original spelling of place-names, sur-names, and occupations has been re- tained ; font-names, which in the originals are usually contracted into Geo., Jas., Jno., etc., have been expanded into modern form. Each List is generally signed by two Magistrates, but their names have been omitted below on the ground that they can easily be traced from other sources. The villages are printed in the order in which they occur on the files, and are often " alphabetically " arranged onlv as regards the initial letter. For anv particular village the Index should be consulted.

62 SELECTIONS FROM JURY LISTS

The qualifications for serving on a jury seem to be sufficiently well set out in the following extracts from lists of 1 78 1, which serve also to illustrate the literary capacity of some of the constables.

" September ye 9th : 1780 A trew List to the Best of My Knowlidge of all Persons in the parrish of Chal- grave in the County of Beddford that are Above the Age of One and twenty Years and Under the Age of Seventy vears that are Qualifyed to Serve one Juries upon tryalls as Followeth."

" By Vertive of a Warrant to me Derected I was Comanded to make a Lisst of ye Persons Qualified to Serve On ye Juriers by haveing 10 £ per year and Dwelling in Clifton " [1780].

" This is a Jest and true List of all the freeholders how are in aney Qualitycation to sarve upon a Jurey in the Parish of Salford " [1780].

The last entry raises a query which I have not yet been able to answer, namely, the exact relation between the numerous Jury Lists and the comparatively few Free- holders' Lists preserved among the County Muniments.

The qualification for the jurymen at the time of the earlier lists here printed seems to have been laid down by 4 and 5 William and Mary, cap. 24, § 15 ; but the last list, that of 1830, has a different basis. By 6 Geo. IV., cap. 50, it was enacted in 1825 " that every Man except as hereinafter excepted, between the Ages of Twenty-one Years and Sixty Years, residing in any County in Eng- land, who shall have in his own Name or in Trust for him, within the said County, Ten Pounds by the year above Reprizes in Lands or Tenements, whether of Freehold, Copyhold, or Customary Tenure, or of Ancient Demesne, or in Rents issuing out of any such Lands or Tenements, or in any such Lands, Tenements and Rents taken together, in Fee Simple, Fee Tail, or for the Life of himself or some other Person, or who shall have within the same County Twenty Pounds by the Year above Reprizes,

SELECTIONS FROM JURY LISTS 63

in Lands or Tenements, held by Lease or Leases for the absolute Term of Twenty-one Years, or some longer Term, or for any Term of Years determinable on any Life or Lives, or who being a Householder shall be rated or assessed to the Poor Rate, or to the Inhabited House Duty in the County of Middlesex, on a Value of not less than Thirty Pounds, or in any other County on a Value of not less than Twenty Pounds, or who shall occupy a House containing not less than Fifteen Windows " should be qualified and liable to serve on Juries.

Heralds and Genealogists, as a rule, confine their attention to families which have the right to bear arms, and neglect all of lower rank. The chief interest of these Lists, to my mind, is that they throw some light on the history of a class which is among the most worthy of respect in the community, which often has a length of land tenure and continuous descent not less remarkable than that of armigerous families, and from which most gentle and many noble families have sprung — the class of yeomen.

It is hoped that the publication of these Lists may serve to guide searchers to the parish where a particular yeoman name is to be found.

Further, these lists throw side-lights on the compara- tive prosperity of different villages ; as well as on the prevalence of the productive or creative trades, in contrast to the rarity of the mere distributive or retail trades, — a proportion which was reversed, to the great detriment of village life, in the first half of the nineteenth century.

The Lists cover the period of the " Enclosure " of most Bedfordshire villages, and it is instructive to note how the yeoman — a freeholder or copyholder — becomes replaced by the " farmer," holding only by a lease. Bedfordshire was always a Quaker county, and the special mention of Friends in these lists shows the centres of the Society ; presumably they were ineligible as Jurors owing to their refusal to take an oath. — Editor.]
