C [vol. 120] 22 The King granted to Edmund de Lacy 1 market on Wednesday at Tanshelfe in his Mann' of Pontefract And one faire there for three dayes, viz. on the Eue, the day, and the day after St Trinity &c.

15 There was no separate return for Tanshelf, either in the Domesday Survey or in the Poll Tax of 1378. In the above grant of a Fair, it is described as in the manor of Pontefract. But the corporate privileges of Pontefract never extended to Tanshelf, till they were obtained under a recent Borough Extension Act.

16 This seems to have been part of an attempt of Edmund de Lascy to raise the status of Tanshelf. It failed, however, and the fair was transferred to Pontefract by another charter of 22 Ed. I. (1294). See 31st Report of the DeputyKeeper of Public Records.

17 Thorne is recorded in the Domesday Survey to be in the fee of William de Warenne, to have a taxable area of four carucates, and to be tilled by 5 sokemen, 11 villanes, and 4 bordars. Its rateable value was not specifically mentioned, all the manors subordinate to Coningsborough (including Thorne) being rated in one lump sum. In the Poll Tax of 1378, the names of 90 taxpayers are given, 87 of whom paid only 4d. each, and 1 tailor paid 6d. The two most highly taxed, a chapman and a mercer, paid 12d. each, making a total of 31s. 6d.

18 Two different places are here confused: Thorne, a manor in the parish of Hatfield, and Turnbridge, a hamlet in the parish of Snaith.

19 This must be for the rebuilding of the chapel, which was an ancient foun

dation, and is named among the early chapels belonging to the Lewes Cluniac Priory.

20 This will be found more at large in THE SIEGES OF PONTEFRACT CASTLE (R. Holmes, 1887). But there is in Mon. Ebor. 402, a much earlier document of the year 1285, by which the land between "Thuren-brigs and the bank of the river Aire was made tithe-free. Unfortunately the reference escaped the index-maker, and therefore the passage is almost unknown. Burton gives page 22 of the Great Chartulary of Selby as his authority.
