My reason for believing that m.7,
col. I (which finishes in the middle of a
list of Yarm taxpayers) should be followed by m. 9, rather than by m. 8,
col. 1, is that some of the names in the
former are peculiar to Yarm. Persons
bearing the names of Aslakeby and
Estir or Estria occur in the Guisbrough
Chartulary (ii. 42, 431) in connection
with Yarm. Etwater was also a Yarm
name. In the Helagh Park Chartulary
(Cott. M SS. Vesp. A. iv., fo. 119d)
Henricus dictus Etwatyr had a grant
from the Priory of a messuage, which
Thomas vetus Playlun of Yarum held of
Helagh, "in venella que vocatur le

Aslakeby, now Worsall and Aislaby,

Warndon, and to Warin his son. The
manor was held in chief as of the honor
of Albemarle by knight service, and the
land in Syvelington of the heirs of the
Earl Marshall. Latymer possessed, in
addition to his proposed gift, the manors
of Skampston and Danby in Yorkshire,
and that of Corby in Northants (Inq.

Walter de Faucomberge, who married

between Nov. 1st and 2nd, 1304, and
was buried at Nunkeeling in Holderness,
a nunnery founded by his ancestors
(Walter de Hemingburgh, ii. 240). His
Inq. p.m. is dated Friday, the feast of
St. Edmund the King and Martyr, 33
Edward I. (November 20th, 1304), when
Walter, his son and heir, was forty years
old and upwards (Cal. Gen. ii. 664).
This Walter the younger married a
certain Alice, on whom jointly with
himself the manor of Rise in Holderness
was settled, the capital messuage there
being worth' 30s. a year. He died
1318–19, when his son and heir, John,
was aged 26 (Inq. p.m. 12 Edw. II.
No. 51). The mutilated effigies of
Walter and Agnes de Fauconberg
remain on the north side of the altar

The history of Westerdale, briefly
summarized from original deeds in the
Muniment Room at Kirkleatham Hall,
is as follows:—The king, 25th June,
5 John (1203), confirmed to the Templars "the reasonable gift" of Guy de
Bovincourt of all the town that is called
Westerdale. Westerdale afterwards
passed to the Hospitallers, and was part
of the possessions of the Preceptory of
the Holy Trinity at Beverley. It passed
at the Dissolution to the Crown.
Henry VIII. (7th July, 37th year of his
reign, 1545) granted "totum illud
manerium nostrum de Westerdale in
Com. nostro Ebor. cum suis juribus membris et pert. univesis nuper prioratui
sive hospitali S. Johannis Jerl'm in
Anglia modo dissoluto dudum spectantem et pertinentem ac parcellam possessionum et revencionum nuper preceptorii sive comentarii S. Trinitatis
Beverlacii (sic) in dicto Com. Ebor.
dudum existentis," etc., etc., to George
Wright and Edmund Wright (landjobbers) of London. Edward VI. (18th
March, 4 Edward VI., 1550–1) granted
George Wright licence to alienate the
manor of Westerdale to Ralph Yoward
"generosus," who bought it of George
Wright. The rest of the history is in
print.—T. M. F. |

No doubt, I think, the origin of the
old yeomanry family of Arnald (Hernalde, Arnarde), for many generations in
possession of land in Kirkleatham. The
last chaplain of the chapel of St. Sepulchre at East Coatham was William
"Arnarde,"a member of the family.—T. M. F. |
| 50 |
Where the willows were is not
known; but we have evidently in this
entry the origin of the family name of
Wyly, which was prevalent till quite
recently in the parish, and still lingers
round about. "Wyly Brig" at West
Coatham still perpetuates the name.
This bridge now crosses what is merely
a gutter-stream, but is evidently of high
antiquity, and is popularly accounted as
haunted by a barguest in the form of a
sow and litter of pigs.—T. M. F. |

In the parish of Kirk Levington.
It derives its distinctive appellation
from a large circular rampart of
prehistoric origin, situated on a
steep bank above the Leven. The
name Levington has, however, nothing
whatever to do with the river, but owes
its origin to the common old English
name Leofwine,—now written Lewin.
Very little is known of the history of
the manor. During the thirteenth
century it was held in chief by members
of the De Feugers family, who doubtless came from Fougeres in Brittany. In
1299 Nicholas Meynell held the manor
of Castel Levington in chief "quod
dudum fuit. de feodo de Brus, per
servicium inveniendi unum servientem
equitem in exercitu domini Regis per
quadraginta dies, sumptibus propriis.
Et dicunt, quod Cristiana, que fuit uxor

Roxby, Hinderwell par. Domesday,
Rozebi, Roscebi. The existence of a
chapel here at this period should be
noted. The general idea has hitherto
been that it was founded by Thomas
Boynton, who died in 1520, and "who
first caused this chapel to be hallowed,
and was the first corpse buried in it."
[He can only have rebuilt it.— T. M. F.]
Boynton, by his will (Test. Ebor. v.
110), made in 1520, bequeathed "my
body to be beriede there as my executours shall thinke mooste conveniente,
with al duyties to the churche due and
accustomede."He left 40s. to Rowsby

Seaton Hall, two miles north of
Whitby. No doubt Edmund de Mauley
is the dominus referred to. He had a
grant in 1296, as a reward for his many
services, of the lands and tenements in
the vills of Seton and Brunne in Yorkshire, formerly belonging to Christopher
de Seton, who had forfeited them for
rebellion (Charter Roll. 24 Ed. I. No.34).
Query, was this Seton the brother-in-law
of King Robert Bruce, and ancestor of
the Setons, who afterwards became Earl
of Winton in Scotland? Mauley's Inq.
p.m. was taken at Hinderwell on Sunday
before the Assumption of the Virgin
(Aug. 11th, 1314), when the jury found
he died seised of the manor of Seton
and the alternate presentation to the
church of Hilderwelle. Peter de Mauley
his 'consanguineus et propinquior heres,'
that is his nephew, was aged 31. He also
held the manor of Askote in Oxfordshire
of Hugh de Plescetis, then a minor, and
in the custody of John de Segrave by
grant from the king (Inq. p.m. Ed. II.
No. 41). |

The following can be identified.
Overby is Yearby in Kirkleatham,

Thunderbush; Wayewathe, Wayworth;
Lounesdale, Lonsdale; Sleddale Cote,
Sleddale. All these are in Guisbrough.
It should be noted how greatly Yearby
exceeds all the others, even Guisbrough
itself, in value. Yearby was certainly
the portion of Lyum (Kirkleatham)
given by Robert de Brus to Guisbrough Priory at its foundation. It
was accounted a separate manor by
itself, and after the Dissolution it was
granted, 23rd January, 37 Hen. VIII.
(1545–6), to Charles Brandon and
Elizabeth his wife. Subsequently it
was regranted by Elizabeth (20th July,
5 Eliz., 1563) to Richard Okeham and
Thomas Osborne (two London landjobbers). On 27th July, 16 Eliz. (1574),
Osborne grants it to Sir Peter Osborne,
who sold it for £1,000 (18th July, 25
Eliz., 1583) to H. Cheeke. His heir,
T. Cheeke (15th June, 39 Eliz., 1597),
granted it to T. Stowpe (a local man)
and others, who on 2nd March, 7 Jas. I.
(1609–10), sold it to Sir E. Withipol of
Ipswich. On 4th Dec., 11 Jas. I. (1613),
Withipol sold it to W. Hele, from whose
heirs John Turner bought it for £3,600
on 11th May, 1635. |
