Place name:	Michaelchurch Escley and Peterchurch

Description:

A Draft Transcript of these Manorial papers was prepared by Dewi Bowen Williams BA in 2005 which he has kindly offered for use on this site and for which the ELSG is most grateful.

The Transcript, which is set out below, respects the general format, spelling etc of the papers and is fully searchable. Blank pages in the original papers have been omitted. To view the Digital Record of the documents click here.

The papers relate to the Manors of Clothy Hopkin, Urishay, Trenant and Wellbrook which lay to the north east of Ewyas Lacy in the Peterchurch area. Each of the Manors exhibit numerous variations as to spelling. Three were held from the Manor of Snodhill but the Manor of Clothy Hopkin, which lay within Ewyas Lacy, in the parish of Michaelchurch Escley, was held directly from the Hopton moiety of the Ewyas Lacy Manor.

They recite, in particular, minutes of Court Baron, Court Leet and Frankpledge meetings dating primarily from 1705 to 1743 and 1810 to 1833 but not including all years. There are also entries for Wilbrook for 1466, 1525, 1537 and 1539, and 1671 for the other Manors.

The subject matter includes the general notices and proceedings of the Courts and lists of chief rents, lease rents, tenant’s names and juror’s names as well as a number of miscellaneous matters.

On Courts Leet & Baron

Charge by the Steward to the jury.

Gentlemen of the jury.

You are here assembled to execute as great a trust as can be [reporid?] in any men living which is the jurisdiction of the lord of this Leet over the resiants & inhabitants of this manor. This & all other courts leet are of a very antient institution & where first founded at the time the Saxons inhabited this island. For at that period of time this Kind [ors?] was divided into many different districts [&?] inhabitants each district having a king of their own who held a court of judicature in which he himself presided as judge & tried & determined all offences from the highest to lowest the reign of her king did not continue many ages before the flame of war was kindled and almost a quite all then different ~~governments~~ monarchs engaged in a war against each other. But at length the constitution of [?vorne] of a governments being in each impaired by a long & tedious war they [? ew] to some of their neighbours with whom they were with peace & implored their aid and assistance by which means many of the states became very powerful & their dominions became very extensive And that period it found practicable for the king who [?stile] [?that] a supreme judge to try & determine [ erorns?] [?t]he offences than happened within the jurisdiction of this dominion at which it was thought [?adoriable that grants should be made to the most powerful persons within the king’s territories enabling to hold a court Leet & to try & determine offences from the highest to the lowest From that time courts leet were made universal [? t] the kingdom growing more populous & offences still increasing & found necessary to institute [? ] courts of justice to try offences recover debts for which part [on?] the [?affired] general quarter [ ] over this kingdom which continue to this day. ~~And~~ [?Decot] [?alkto] there at not instituted into [?eac] the [?doods] of Leet who were not able to transact the business of their courts many trespases tried at these courts now as were in those days yet the jurisdictions of the court still subsists & possessed with all the priviledges it then enjoyed And a Presentment made by the jury at this court as of same nature & force or an indictment found by the grand jury at the assize or quarter sessions for the presentments being transferred by the steward of the court to the judge at the assize or the justices at the sessions in sufficient to put the party upon [?linishial] the business which is at this period transacted at this court & which it is your duty to inquire particularly into is treason trespass murder burglary robbery & housburning. If any of you have heard any man speak treason against the king or government that would which to seize assassinate the king’s person or that threated to seize the [?tower] and bring in another monarch or know or have heard of any treasonable correspondence carried on against the king or government by any of his subjects to ought to present it in order that the offenders may be seized & brought to justice If there has been any murder trespass burglary robbery or housburning happened within this manor since the last court you ought to oresent them in order that the offenders may be put upon trial for such offences. The jurisdiction of this court does not [?pretend] to statute laws but to custom only except particularly authorised so to do by the statutes themselves. There are two statutes which the lords of leets or their stewards as particularly directed to give in charge to the jury the is statute made & passed in the reign of K [?] [7^t ] called the riot act & is indent to prevent riots & unlawful assemblys in which it is enacted that if any persons above the number [? ] assemble together & do not disperse within 1 hour after this act [ ed] it is death by the law the othe is an act made and passed in the year of the reign of his late majesty K [G?] 2^nd and is called the [?b]lack act and by this act it is enacted that if any person or persons [ to ] accused in a disguise by having their face blacked or being other disfigured as not to be known this is also Death by the Law. Any [?is] instance of kind has happened since the holding of the last court is a duty to present it as a Capital offence in order that the person so ooffending might be brought to justice.

Dear Sir Peterchurch, June 15, 1810

Your clerk Mr Rogers came yesterday and made a copy of my will, he also broght the agreements between me and my tenants which could not be completed as your last letter was delayed at the Oak. Therefore could not inform my tenants of the day your clerk was to come over in order for them to give him the meeting. I find Mr Jacob Holland have promised to let me have the money by the time I did mention. I certainly did not interfere, but as I informed you before a gentleman of the name of Rogers came to my house and informed me that the Oak Timber which I sold to Mr Jacob Holland he had turned over to him and his company and that they should pay me all the money which was due. Provided Mr Holland’s property was sufficient for double the sum due to me, this I must say that a man so far advanced in years and so infirm as Mr Holland cannot be deemed so proper a person to transact business as three much younger men and at his time of life there is a hazard of his droping off before the appointed times for the payment of the money. However i do not deserve to prevent Mr Holland from any advantage he may have with these men in his bargainwith them. I and my sister gave your clerk instructions for you to make another will for my sister and brought down her old will which was made by Mr Downes some years since in order to mention to your clerk the particulars in it which she did approve to have in the former will and by some meants mislaid it or whether my brothers son John found it dropt out of my pocket and pickd it up as he was in the house in that will she had left all her property to me only a sum of money yearly to my brother’s daughter for her life and other legacys her intention is to leave it in the same way as I did, But I believe I did not mention that it tis her desire that it should be first left to me and afterwards to Mr Morgan Reese and his family. I apprehend the old will is not any consequence after the new will is made therefore desire new will get it finished as soon as convenient. I am dear sir your obliged humble servant.

Sir/

Mr Harris is very particularly engaged & will be for the week; he therefore requests me to write. The cause came on this morning & I am happy to state that a verdict was given in your favour for one of the cottages 7 land adjoining (vizt. that occupied by James Parry) The defendants produced a lease of the other cottage & land dated 17 March 1743 – granted by John Delahay to Blanche & Elizabeth Watkins for 99 years from 25 March, 1743 at 11^s rent. – They brought evidence to prove that it was the cottage occupied by John Hughes (the undertenant of Hughes the claimant) – and the court was of the opinion that it was sufficient proof that such cottage was still under lease; - the term expires 25 March 1842, being 19 years to come. – The lease described it as a cottage barn & land adjoining Urish Hay common. As we succeeded for the other cottage, it sub[ject?] Hughes to the payment of your costs. –

I am sir ( very respectfully)
